WayPoint Biomedical Holdings, Inc. Responds to SEC Subpoena

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., April 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WayPoint Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: WYPH) has received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting documents concerning the company's business and financial affairs.  The subpoena is almost identical to a subpoena that the company received in April of 2006 when, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was investigating certain trading activities in the company's stock.

WayPoint Biomedical Holdings, Inc. intends to comply fully with the subpoena, just as it complied fully with the subpoena issued last year.  The company has received no further communication from the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the earlier subpoena.  The company is pleased that the Securities and Exchange Commission appears to be making inquiry into possible "spamming" activities involving the company's stock.  The company denies that it has engaged in any such activities.  In fact, the company has already initiated, and is vigorously prosecuting, litigation against persons and entities who the company suspects have engaged in such activities.  The company's litigation efforts were commenced last year, long before trading in the company's share were temporarily suspended and before the issuance of the subpoena on March 8, 2007.  After the ten day suspension, WayPoint Biomedical's stock commenced trading on March 21, 2007.
