Miraculins is a medical diagnostic company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-invasive tests for unmet clinical needs. A significant number of promising diagnostic opportunities remain un-commercialized because of the sizable gap between the discovery stage, when research institutions are typically involved, and the commercialization stage, when the larger commercial enterprises become interested. Miraculins has direct experience in bridging this gap. The Company's PreVu technology is a revolutionary new coronary artery disease risk assessment technology that measures cholesterol levels in a patient's skin non-invasively, painlessly and without the need for fasting. Miraculins is also advancing a suite of biomarkers to aid in the early detection of the devastating disease of pregnancy known as preeclampsia. The Company's preeclampsia program is partnered with Alere Inc. (formerly known as Inverness Medical Innovations), one of the world's largest diagnostic companies.

In the U.S., the FDA has directed that "Skin cholesterol as measured by the PreVu POC can be used as part of risk assessment for coronary heart disease in persons with a history of myocardial infarction and/or in persons suspected of having significant multi-vessel coronary artery disease (>50% stenosis in >1 vessel as diagnosed by coronary angiography) where further diagnostic evaluation is being considered. Test results, when considered in conjunction with clinical evaluation, blood cholesterol tests and other risk factors identified for coronary artery disease, will aid the physician in focusing diagnostic and patient management options."
Miraculins recently announced the launch of a new English Canadian website for PreVu (www.prevu.com). In addition, the Company has established distribution partnerships for the Canadian medical community and Canadian retail pharmacy market with The Stevens Company and with Pear Healthcare Solutions Inc., respectively.

About The PreVu ^® Non-Invasive Skin Cholesterol Test
Skin cholesterol is the cholesterol that has been deposited and diffused into tissue, as opposed to freely circulating in the bloodstream, and has been shown in clinical trials to be strongly associated with significant CAD as measured by treadmill stress testing, coronary angiography, coronary calcium, carotid artery thickening and carotid artery plaque. The PreVu POC Test is completely painless, non-invasive, involves no blood draw or needles, requires no overnight fasting and involves no handling of potentially hazardous biomaterials. It has been developed to provide new and additive information about CAD risk that is independent of traditional risk factors, such as blood cholesterol, to help physicians more effectively assess their patients' risk. The test is conducted on the palm of the hand in less than 5 minutes with results being immediately available.
