AMES, Iowa, Nov. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- BioForce Nanosciences Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:BFNH) today announced the receipt of $500,000 in proceeds from the exercise of the Series C warrants issued in its August 2007 financing transaction with an institutional investor. The Series C warrants entitled the investor to purchase 1,000,000 shares of BioForce's common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. These warrant exercise proceeds are in addition to the $500,000 of initial investment proceeds received in August.
BioForce's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Eric Henderson, said, "We appreciate this expression of continued support from the investor. The warrant exercise proceeds provide us with the funds necessary to continue expansion of our sales and marketing efforts related to our Nano eNabler system, a device for the deposition and nanoscale manipulation of biomolecules. The Nano eNabler is being utilized by over twenty preeminent research institutions, such as Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins University, enabling them to make breakthrough advances in cell biology, nanobiosensors and tissue engineering. These funds will also allow us to continue development of our ViriChip virus detection system, which can be used to detect multiple infectious viruses in a sample as small as a single drop of water."
Greg Brown, BioForce's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "The August 2007 transaction and this warrant exercise by the investor are a part of our strategy to continue to strengthen our balance sheet and insure that we have the working capital necessary to fund our growth. The recently announced $150,000 loan forgiveness by the State of Iowa is another part of this financial strategy, and we expect further developments in this area over the coming months."
