Ascentia Biomedical Announces a Shift to Biomedical Arbitrage and Development to Achieve Profitability

BELLEVUE, Wash., May 30  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ascentia Biomedical Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: ASCE), a leading researcher and developer of efficacious pharmaceuticals, compounds and other products, announces that as a part of its new business model, Ascentia will purchase profitable dedicated clinical research organizations [CRO] and integrate them into a national branded research organization.  The CRO will provide the capacity and resources to develop Ascentia's preclinical contract research through Ascentia Biomedical Technologies, Inc.

CROs provide independent product development services primarily for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. Companies in these industries outsource product development services to CROs in order to manage the product development process more efficiently and cost-effectively, and to maximize the benefits in time and profit of patient-protected products.

The company has a letter of intent to purchase its first profitable CRO located in the Southeastern U.S.  Additional acquisition candidates have been identified and early discussions are in progress with company representatives. A successful conclusion to the first two acquisitions would provide Ascentia with annual profits of $5 MM.  Ascentia working in concert with its investment banker and an international brokerage firm is finalizing the financial terms of the acquisitions.

Dr. James Clagett, President & CEO of Ascentia Biomedical said, "Ascentia's drive for profitability enhances the short and long term goals of Ascentia.  It provides access to additional investment capital in the future; resources to continue pharmaceutical development of its two key compounds for treatment of inflammatory diseases; and participation in more senior markets."
