We are enthusiastic over the prospects, and in particular, the opportunities that are quickly developing with the Tissue Welding Technology. Under Frank D'Amelio's leadership we have quickly poised LTC for commercialization."

Mr. D'Amelio added, "We have made significant progress in just the last 60 days. In this period of time, we developed a 'go-to-production' plan for the U.S. and European markets. We have received quotes from multiple companies who want to manufacture our unique tissue-welding generator and our first series of open tissue-fusing forceps. Our clinical procedures in the Ukraine have demonstrated the versatility of the technology and we have implemented active R&D projects in support of a robust new product pipeline. During the first quarter of 2007 we will start the manufacturing process, U.S. laboratory studies and ready our initial FDA 510k for submission."

About CSMG Technologies' Tissue Welding/Bonding Technology

Surgeons at 27 Ukraine hospitals and clinics are using the tissue welding/bonding technology in clinical trials. They have completed more than 7,000 human surgeries using more than 80 types of open and laparoscopic surgical procedures, demonstrating the technology is universal in its ability to repair soft biological tissue. These surgeries included lung, neuro-surgery, nasal septum, intestine, stomach, skin, gall bladder, liver, spleen, blood vessels, nerves, alba linea, uterus, bladder, gynecological, fallopian tube, ovary and testicles and dura-matter. Cosmetic surgeries conducted with this technology include breast reduction, breast implants, mastopexy and abdominal plasty. The procedure involves little or no scarring, while restoring the normal function of the body organ or tissue.

The technology was invented and developed at the internationally renowned E.O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Ukraine, headed by Professor B.E. Paton. U.S. and Australia patents have been issued, a patent in the European Union has been approved, and additional U.S. and foreign patents are pending.
