Forward looking statements

This presentation may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements. Our use of the words “estimate”, “project” and similar expressions is intended to identify these statements.

Creating a Leading Cancer Detection Company

• 85% of all cancers begin in the epithelial layer

• FDA approved for detecting colon/cervical cancer;

– approval for esophageal cancer expected in 2008 (PMA supplement)

– Sales in EU before FDA approval.

– FDA approved for detecting pre-cervical cancer

• Instantaneous detection (decreases procedure time)

• Treatment possible at point-of-care (decreases number of

visits)

The SolutionWavSTAT® Optical Biopsy Device and Forceps

Diagnostic: WavSTAT optical biopsy console generates and sends Laser light through optical fiber, reads reflected light and makes cancer determination.

Therapeutic: forceps deployed through scope center channel -biopsies AND removes tissue in same procedure

What is an Optical Biopsy?

• Pre-cancer cells reflect light differently vs. normal cells. The difference is what we detect.

• WavSTAT display gives instant absolute answer:

– GREEN = normal

– RED = suspect

• Determine margin (edge) of disease

• Can remove tissue immediately with forceps

WavSTAT Advantages

• Reduced procedure time

• Reduced cost of care

• Additional MD revenue

• Improved patient outcomes

– Patient goes home with peace of mind - no waiting for pathology

– If positive – sent directly to surveillance or oncologist

– Esophageal* - low pain versus present method**InvestigationalInvestigational

Fast, accurate early detection and ability to treat/biopsy in situ

Page 11: Company Presentation . Forward looking statements This presentation may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking

Esophageal Cancer

• 2 million screenings per year

• Growing 5X faster than other cancers

• Particularly high incidence in Asia

• Very difficult to visualize and diagnose

• Over 90% mortality rate

Esophageal cancer

Weekly occurrence in 60M Americans; daily in 20M

10% of patients with chronic heartburn

3% of LGD patients progress to HGD

• Random physical biopsy in four quadrants

• Up 2cm…do it again…; Up 2cm…do it again. Could be as many as 16-20 vs. as low as none optically

• Hope specialist biopsies correct spot and hope pathologist accurately interprets what might be cancerous

Limitations of current diagnostic procedure

Esophageal Cancer

Page 14: Company Presentation . Forward looking statements This presentation may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking

Colon Cancer

• Second most common cancer diagnosed in US

• 149,000 diagnosed and 55,000 deaths annually

• All persons over 50 at risk

• Expected to increase 20% over next 10 years

• 92% of patients “cured” if cancer detected early

Page 15: Company Presentation . Forward looking statements This presentation may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking

Cervical cancer

• Second most common malignancy in women world-wide

• A National study showed 200,000 women are sent home by their physicians each year with pre-cancer – and don’t know it!

• Abnormal Pap test requires colposcopy• Colposcopy is subjective – depends on training• LUMA is objective, accurate, a permanent

record and directs the biopsy target

– Asian market much higher potential

– Opportunity for rapid growth given no competition in definitive in situ diagnostics

• Clinically-Proven Non-Invasive Technology Platform

– Successful and statistically significant (96%) studies in hundreds of patients for colon cancer

– Significant successful study for esophagus completed (95%)

– Published reports show >26% more pre-cancers found in cervix

– Extensive new uses possible – lung, oral, prostate, urinary/bladder, etc.

• Strong Intellectual Property Position

– 60 patents issued or pending- cover BOTH WavSTAT and LUMA Systems and Probe/Forceps

– Patent license with Mass General
