Canadian Bio Med

Canadian Bio Med Systems
is an ophthalmology company that is engaged in the development of pharmaceutical agents for two of the most important disease states in that market. Glaucoma and Age related macular degeneration.

Canadian Bio Med Systems
along with its partner Ocular Therapeuticsowns the exclusive worldwide licensing rights to two patented or patent pending drugs in the field of ophthalmology.It is believed that these drugs have the potential to revolutionize the way Glaucoma and Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) are treated.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States and the world.The current treatment for Glaucoma consists of eye drops usually used one, two or more times each day.Usually more than one drug is prescribed.Due to the frequency of applications required, the largest problem is with patient compliance.The drug under development by CBMS at the University of Arizona has the remarkable prospect of needing to be used only once or twice per year by the patient. The market for Glaucoma treatment is huge.It is projected that by 2010 there will be 60.5 million people with the most common form of Glaucoma. Novartis alone sells over $1.5 billion of Glaucoma medications annually. AMD is the leading cause of blindness worldwide, for people over 55 years of age.There is currently no cure for the disease.

Several large companies are working with product development drugs which are still experimental and extremely expensive.The drug under development by CBMS has the benefits of requiring fewer treatments then current drugs, and will be far less expensive.

There is extensive intellectual property with U.S .and world patents issued and pending.

Most people invest by experience: learning from one’s own successful or failed investment decisions in the past. There are several drawbacks of such style of investment:

·

Selective memory: people intend to remember what they are willing to remember.

·

Not knowing the boundaries: experience in a bull market may not be suitable in a bear market any more.

·

Statistical noise: the sample people observing is often too small to develop general rules

Bio Spec Global Solutions

ICBS Ltd. has acquired twenty- five percent interest in BioSpec Global Solutions Inc., who has developed

state-of-the-art technologies for rapid, onsite (remote) monitoring of microbial contamination in drinking water, recreational water, agriculture & food production, pharmaceuticals and medical applications.

The TOGS 9000 is a bio-photonic incubation/detection instrument which quantifies microbial contamination. The analysis results can be obtained directly on-site through a computer or can be directly connected and controlled by an appropriate laboratory and or regulatory authority in a secure monitoring system using ‘AGACSSTM’(TM) software and the internet. As an example, The EPA could literally monitor all drinking water sources down to the individual well owner and do it quickly, accurately and cost effectively. Or the Center for Infectious Diseases ( CID ) could monitor the spread of antibiotic resistant microbes (ARMs) across the U.S. at the patient level. Doctors could determine the effectiveness of an antibiotic in their office for their patients before prescribing the antibiotic rather than the try and hope method presently used. The healthcare system could save hundreds of millions of dollars and hospital/doctor liabilities reduced. This technology is revolutionary for a global market.

BIOSPEC believes the progression of this technology is leading towards wireless data transmission. Connecting the AQUASURE 9000 to a cell phone like device for data transmission to a laboratory much the same way pictures are sent by a cell phone will be cost effective, allowing the technology to penetrate the huge consumer market which presently isn’t addressed.

BIOSPEC technology is recognized as the method for the detecting of microbial contamination. By entering in to a series of license agreements with well positioned companies
(industry leaders), intellectual property protected, and its varied applications and global use realized.
