Cell Robotics International, Inc. Unveils Strategy to Pursue Broad Penetration of the $140 Billion Dollar Global Market for Medical Devices Oct. 3, 2005--Cell Robotics International, Inc. (OTC:CRII) initiated a broad pursuit of the $140 billion global market for medical devices by entering into a letter of intent to acquire Techventors LLC, a New Mexico LLC that is focused on developing strategic partnerships between companies in the US and China to cross-market and cross-develop state-of-the-art medical devices. Techventors is currently distributing the "Clinical Lasette" product line of Cell Robotics in China. James S. Toreson, CEO of Cell Robotics, stated, "The acquisition of Techventors is a strategic initiative, which will assist the company in reaching its goal of becoming a leading global supplier of medical devices. In the short term, this acquisition will enable our company to source existing medical devices from over 9000 suppliers in China and Taiwan and bring them to market in the US. This will afford our company the ability to accelerate its revenue growth and shorten its path to profitability. In the longer term, this acquisition will afford us the opportunity to exploit the synergy between the advanced medical device research resources in the US and the low cost product development and manufacturing resources in China. This will result in state-of-the-art medical devices, with high quality and low cost that will give us a significant strategic comparative advantage in this market." He further stated, "As a by- product of qualifying some of the 9000 medical device suppliers in China and Taiwan for the cross sourcing and cross marketing of medical device products, we expect to discover numerous acquisition candidates and to close several of them, which further shorten our company's path to profitability. We are pleased to report that we are already in such discussions with one of the acquisition targets." Techventors LLC was founded in May 2004 by Dr. Edly Lau, its Managing Director and Dr. Feng Zhou, its CEO, with expressed goal of creating a multicultural company specializing in connecting the medical markets of China and the US. The background, expertise and education of these founders is well suited to achieve these goals along with the physical presence of the company with its offices in New Mexico, Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing. Dr. Lau graduated from Nanjing Medical School in 1982. After 7 years practicing as a dentist he became director of internal medicine at Nanjing Dental Hospital. In 1990, Dr. Lau launched his entrepreneurial career by founding distribution companies that were the sole distributors of over 100 medical device products supplied from over 20 medical device companies based in US, Japan, and Europe. In 1994, he founded a company that established a chain of about 30 medical clinics located in major cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and major provinces such as Shandong, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Henan, Shanxi, Xinjiang, Zhejiang, and Anhui. These clinics specialize in state-of-the-art treatment, including advanced laser technology, in the fields of eye care, dental care, and dermatology. Since immigrating to the US in 1998, Dr. Lau has worked on the development of several multicultural programs to promote strong bond between China and the US in the medical field and serves on the board of directors of several biomedical companies. Dr. Zhou was an undergraduate instructor and research scientist at Xiamen University, specializing in cancer research from 1985 to 1990. He was awarded a PhD in biochemistry and genetics in 1995 from the University of Texas. Thereafter he worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to do pioneering work in developing technologies that are used in biological and medical research. He launched his US entrepreneurial career in 2002 to exploit technologies invented by him and his colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory. These technologies have received significant interest from major pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Dr. Zhou was an adjunct assistant professor at the University of New Mexico. Cell Robotics is currently completing its due diligence and developing a definitive agreement for this acquisition and expects to complete the acquisition in the next 30 days.
