Operations Review:

Kerry Frey, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioForce, said, "The news continues to be good from an operations perspective. During the third quarter we entered into scientific collaboration agreements with three major universities, including the previously announced relationship with UAlbany Nano College, and agreements with Arizona State University and Iowa State University. In addition, yesterday's announcement of our scientific collaboration agreement with University Pierre & Marie Curie in Paris continues the trend of significant research institutions lining up to participate with us in breakthrough projects in areas such as stem cell research, neural regeneration and live cell assays. Under these collaboration agreements we will be working closely with biologists at the academic institutions to develop new applications for our Nano eNabler(TM) and Cyto eNabler(TM) systems.

"From a financing perspective, we announced in September that funding for our ViriChip(TM) pathogen detection system was included in the Senate version of the 2009 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill. I am delighted to announce that the final 2009 Department of Defense Appropriations Act, signed by President Bush on September 30, 2008, included $1,600,000 of funding for this project. We are pleased that we will have the opportunity to move forward in 2009 with this exciting scientific application based upon the capabilities of our Nano eNabler(TM) molecular printer.

"We sold three Nano eNabler systems in the third quarter, with those sales generating the majority of our revenues for the quarter. One of those sales was to our distributor in Australia, their first order for a Nano eNabler system. In addition, our revenue growth is aided by the record demand for our ProCleaner(TM) sterilization instrument that we have experienced thus far in 2008."

Greg Brown, BioForce's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were records in terms of revenues, gross profit and net income. We continue to maintain tight cost controls, and remain intent on reaching profitability. In addition to the activities mentioned by Kerry, our third quarter licensing transaction with Aspera Corp. will play a significant part in accelerating our path to profitability via reduced internal costs of research and development.

"We were pleased to complete a $300,000 convertible debt financing during the third quarter with our largest shareholder, FCPR SGAM AI Biotechnology Fund. Their support from both a financial and business perspective is appreciated. We continue to require additional financing in order to support our operations until such time as we have reached the breakeven point. There are multiple parties with whom we are working towards the goal of obtaining sufficient financing to continue operations and press on towards profitability, growth in the adoption of our products within the bio-nanotechnology community, and the development of additional applications of our technology."
