LBTN Lifeline Biotechnologies, Inc. Announces Capital Restructuring for Continued Growth and Potential Acquisitions
RENO, Nev., Jul 18, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Lifeline Biotechnologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:LBTN) announced today it will be undertaking a capital restructuring to better position the Company for growth and expansion. Effective July 31, 2007, Lifeline Biotechnologies will be implementing a 1 for 1,600 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, subject to completion of regulatory compliance requirements.
The Lifeline Biotechnologies Board of Directors approved this capital restructure as a means to position the Company to attract possible acquisition candidates, to reduce the market volatility that Lifeline Biotechnologies shares have experienced, and to better represent the Company's current position in the medical equipment market.
Lifeline Biotechnologies, Inc. recently announced that it has finalized and executed the Agreement for the, what is anticipated to be, final stage development of its interpretive First Warning System, a system designed to assist in the early detection of breast cancer.
About Lifeline Biotechnologies, Inc.:
The Company will focus on completing the development of the First Warning System(TM), designed to assist in the early detection of breast cancer. The underlying technology, upon which the First Warning System(TM) is based, holds the possibility of eliminating over 90% of unnecessary breast biopsies performed each year providing a potential savings of up to $2.8 billion annually. The First Warning System(TM) could conceivably eliminate the need for suggested MRIs, a savings of another $1.3 billion. Of the approximately $138 billion spent on cancer each year, Lifeline could potentially save the healthcare industry up to $4.1 billion annually, assuming the following are successfully completed: the development of the First Warning System(TM), the completion of clinical trials and the retention of FDA pre-market clearance.
Upon the completion of the aforementioned steps, Lifeline will commence marketing its early breast cancer detection system. Management's current and best estimate is that the required steps could take two to four years to conclude. The future value of the Company could be dependent upon these successes. Lifeline, primarily focused on the development of the First Warning System(TM), competes in the financial markets for financing. The market is very competitive and dilution has occurred as a result of previous funding and may occur in order to secure future capital.
