Mexican Health Authorities Present Sangui Wound Healing System at International Convention

Witten, Germany, November 10, 2009 - Dr. Javier Garcia Luna, Chief Investigator of the recently accomplished comparative wound healing study carried out in Cd. Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico, presented its results in front of numerous representatives of Latin American Health Authorities.

The study of two groups of patients, one being treated with conventional methods, the other one using the Sangui wound healing Hemospray had "clearly shown HEMO2SPRAY to be vastly superior in therapeutic efficiency", as the official report concludes. Setting the scene for this lecture was the annual congress "Foro Nacional de Tecnologias para la Salud" organized by the "Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tecnologica en Salud" in Mexico City (National Centre for Technological Excellence in the Health Sector), the most important international event of its kind in Central America. Only a few out of hundreds of abstracts submitted are invited to a fully fledged presentation in one of the forums.

Sangui Latin America SA de CV und Sangui BioTech are enthusiastic about the outcome of the study and extend their gratitude to the doctors and medical staff on location who carried out this study according to leading edge professional standards. Excerpts from Dr. Luna's presentation who also serves as a high ranking official of the Tamaulipas Ministry of Health are now available on the corporate website www.sangui.de.

Tamaulipas Comparative Wound Healing Test Treatment Successfully Concluded

Results Confirm Unique Properties of Hemospray

Witten, Germany, - October 29, 2009

The comparative study of chronic wound treatment at the Hospital Civil of Cd. Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico, was concluded successfully. Due to the significantly superior therapeutic success the Ministry of Health ordered the control to be abandoned and moved to HEMO2SPRAY treatment for ethical reasons. 22 of the 24 patients within the HEMO2SPRAY group were healed completely, while 22 of the 24 patients of the control group showed no comparable progress. Moreover, additional patients suffering from diabetic foot disease were successfully treated with Hemospray. The total healing ratio is significantly higher than 75%.

These results were presented to health system representatives of several Latin American countries in Mexico City by the Chief Investigator of the study.

The results are currently being evaluated by the State Health Authorities of Tamaulipas who sponsored the study.

Apart from this, a considerable share of the patient data were crosschecked and evaluated by Sangui in Witten. It turned out that these data confirm the results as previously indicated. Sangui regards this outcome as a confirmation of the outstanding efforts made by the teams on location and as a great success of its systematic competence in wound healing.

Telephone sales boost Sangui's cosmetic business, new prospects

Witten, Germany, February 9, 2009 - Telephone sales activities dedicated to specialized resellers like beauty and wellness parlors initiated in December 2009 have begun boosting SanguiBioTech's cosmetics business. Several hundreds of beauty parlors requested and received an information package. As many as 175 cosmetic experts underpinned their interest to offer PureMoisture to their clients by purchasing a two product PureMoisture starter set. Given the fact that sales were interrupted for the holiday season, this is an extraordinary result, experts say. An increasing part of the new customers has started ordering additional quantities. The telephone marketing provider and staff rely on a database of proven addresses and were given extensive trainings by Sangui marketing. Another row of additional addresses will be contacted over the next couple of weeks.

In view of the promising results in Germany contacts will be established to reliable telephone marketing providers on an international scale. New contacts to selected key media may eventually increase public awareness (also for the PureMoisture web shop) and help create additional demand.

Moreover, test quantities were provided to one large US cosmetics retailer as well as to a large shipping company operating a fleet of cruisers in the Caribbean planning to offer their passengers wellness treatments based on PureMoisture during the next cruise of their flagship.

To a considerable extent, these activities originate from the cooperation between SanguiBioTech GmbH and Fanales GmbH announced in October 2008. Fanales Managing Director Hans Wollmann explains: "Cosmetics is one of the toughest markets around. But Sangui has a revolutionary concept which needs special promotion apart from the trodden paths of mainstream body and face care." - "After having gained a deeper insight into the industry, we find that the personal introduction of an innovative concept to experts who are willing to become our resellers simply yields better results than any previous attempt"; Hubertus Schmelz, Managing Director of Sangui GmbH adds.

State of Tamaulipas (Mexico) starts clinical study involving Sangui wound management system

Witten, Germany, December 11, 2008 – Sanguis BioTech Latino América and the Servicios de Salud de Tamaulipas, the Mexican State of Tamaulipas Health Authority have started a clinical study regarding the treatment of chronic wounds at the Civil Hospital "Dr. José Macia Hernadez" in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. According to an agreement signed to this effect December 4, 2008, a total of 80 patients suffering from chronic wounds will be treated competitively in groups of 40 patients each either according to the classic medical wound therapies or according to the wound management system as developed by SanguiBioTech. Signing the contract on behalf of the State of Tamaulipas were the Minister of Health Sr. Dr. Rodolfo Torre Cantu, the Under Secretary of State Sr. Amerigo Villareal Anaya, as well as the Managing Director of the Hospital Sr. Dr. Jesus Flores Robles.

Mexico is suffering from the second largest diabetes rate in the world, spending more than US $ 30.000.000.000 per year to fight its dire consequences. A special area of the Hospital Dr. Hernadez has been dedicated to those treatments, and special equipment for measurements, evaluation and supervision was installed. Results of the treatments will be measured against a joint medical protocol. The treatments were started immediately; initial results are expected to be available by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

On the occasion of the signing of the contract representatives of the Tamaulipas Health Authorities expressed their confidence that a success of the Sangui system will help hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens to find relief from yearlong sufferings and to regain their quality of life. They underlined that also the entire public health system would benefit substantially from implementing an effective system for healing chronic wounds by way of substantial cost savings. Eduardo Mena, CEO of Sanguis BioTech Latino América, said: "Together with our German partners, we have invested heavily to show the Mexican people and its authorities that this major health problem can be tackled successfully. So, we are excited about the opportunity to put the Sangui system to an official test, where we can demonstrate the efficiency of our innovative approach."

Having acted as a co-signatory to the agreement, Hubertus Schmelz, Managing Director of SanguiBioTech GmbH, was impressed by the attention paid to this test by numerous high ranking officials: "Evidently, there is a strong awareness of the benefits to be gained from our wound management system. Our partners at Sangui LA have done a great job to demonstrate its potential and hence to attract the commitment of the Public Health System to actually implement it in case the results are as expected."

SanguiBioTech presented wound management products at leading Jordan medical institutions

Witten, Germany, October 29, 2008 - Management and medical staff of SanguiBioTech GmbH held a series of presentations at leading medical institutions in the Kingdom of Jordan in the week of October 20, 2008. Visited were, among others, the central military hospital of the Royal Medicine Services, the headquarters of Jordan Civil Defence, which also directs Jordan's entire emergency rescue system, the King Abdullah University Hospital in Irbid (http://www.kauh.jo/kauh/english/index.aspx), as well as Jordan's largest health center, the Al Basheer Hospital in Amman.

Along with top representatives of the respective hospital managements high ranking surgeons and rescue doctors as well as directors of cardiological, dermatological, oncological and orthopedical departments participated in the meetings which were attended by about 20 to 30 persons each. Introduced were the Chitosan based wound dressings, i.e. the already registered CHITOSKIN dressings as well as the newly developed dressing for surgical applications. Moreover, the presentations extended to the wound healing system for chronic wounds including SCABREMOVE and HEMO2SPRAY. Products and concepts met thorough interest and were intensely discussed among the experts.

The series of presentations had been organized by Abu-Jabir Industrial and Marketing Consulting (www.abu-jabir.com). Besides its headquarters in Amman, Jordan, Abu-Jabir operates subsidiaries in the United Arab Emirates and in Egypt. Sharif Abu-Jabir, founder and president of this enterprise, emphasized: "Since the inception of our close cooperation with Sangui in spring 2007 we have established the basis for widespread business activities in the Arab countries. The current status lets us expect a sound and sustainable demand for Sangui products after having them registered." The distribution partner in Jordan will be the pharmaceuticals trading house Nobles Medical Supplies Company Ltd.

Sangui Managing Director Hubertus Schmelz was impressed by the success of the presentations: "We have had the opportunity to visit large, top modern and excellently equipped hospitals, which influence the wound care system of the entire Kingdom. The positive reactions of the medical experts as well as the highly professional support provided by Abu-Jabir and by its distribution partners give rise to considerable expectations for our future cooperation." It was too early, however, Schmelz added, to prepare a reliable time frame and business plan.

Sangui BioTech International, Inc., reports sales decrease, continued losses

Shareholders' Meeting to be held on November 18, 2008

Witten, Germany, October 22, 2008 - Sangui BioTech International, Inc., published its financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, on October 21. According to the report on form 10-KSB as filed with the SEC the company yielded sales of its cosmetics and wound management products in the amount of approximately USD 207,000 a decrease of 44% as compared with sales revenues of approximately USD 372,000 in the previous year. The decrease is attributable to the company's focus on product development (new cosmetics series, new surgical application of Chitoskin wound pads) and a lower return on marketing efforts with respect to cosmetic products. This also entailed higher research and development cost as well as an increase in General and administrative expenses.

The company reports a net loss for the year of approximately USD 854,000 (2007 net loss: approximately USD 721,000). The resulting accumulated deficit amounts to approximately USD 23.3 million. Total shareholders' deficit as of June 30, 2006 stands at approximately USD 1.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities of approximately USD 1.1 million was offset by cash inflows from financing activities (net of effects of exchange rates) in the amount of approximately USD 1.4 million.

Operations in the 2008 financial year were financed by investments from several European investors in the amount of approximately USD 994,000. In accordance with US-GAAP the amount is shown as foreign currency translation adjustments in the profit-and-loss statement.

The company invites its shareholders to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders on November 18, 2008 on the premises of the Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum in Witten, Germany.

Experts confirm HEMO2SPRAY safety
Sangui submits milestone documentation to Notified Body

Witten, Germany, June 5, 2008 - As a part of the registration of its HEMO2SPRAY wound spray according to the CE standards of the European Union SanguiBioTech GmbH now submitted comprehensive documentation to the Notified Body. Among a broad array of requested documents, this important milestone includes the required independent expert opinions about the toxicological and virological status of the product.

The virological opinion analyses potential risk factors in the raw material and describes the production process with special emphasis on its ability to remove eventually existing virusses from the product or to inactivate the remainders. According to the opinion the high temperature treatment and micro-filtration stages of the production process provide a sufficient safety margin.

After a detailed appreciation of the therapeutical experiences the toxicological opinion concludes that "in view of the expected improvements of wound healing the use of HEMO2SPRAY is a positive element of wound management. Hemoglobin and its degradation products in the intended application form and quantities are safe for patients, staff and third persons. Subsequently, the benefit/risk ratio for HEMO2SPRAY is positive."

The next stage of the registration process consists mainly of the validation of the production process from the generation of the raw material to the end product."

Sangui BioTech International, Inc., reports sales increase, continued losses

Wolfgang Barnikol resigns from executive positions

Witten, Germany, April 8, 2008 - Sangui BioTech International, Inc., published its financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, on April 3, 2008. According to the report on form 10-KSB as filed with the SEC the company almost tripled its sales of cosmetics and wound management products, although from a low level. In FY 2006, Sangui yielded sales of approximately USD 137,000 and a Gross Profit of approximately USD 19,000. Due to the ongoing cost containment program operating expenses were down 25% to approximately USD 758,000. The company reports a net loss for the year of approximately USD 743,000. The resulting accumulated deficit amounts to approximately USD 21.8 million. Total shareholders' deficit as of June 30, 2006 stands at approximately USD 384,000. Net cash used in operating activities of approximately USD 283,000 was partially offset by cash inflows from financing activities in the amount of approximately USD 235,000.

According to the 10-KSB report these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to continue its operations at its existing levels, the Company will require significant additional funds. Therefore, the Company is dependent on funds raised through equity or debt offerings.

Preliminary unaudited figures for Sangui's fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, indicate that Sangui yielded sales in this period of approximately USD 373,000. An increase in operating expenses which is attributable to increased marketing and sales efforts is the main factor for the resulting net loss of approximately USD 704,000. The company strives to file its pending quarterly and annual reports for its 2007 and 2008 fiscal years over the next couple of months.

Cornerstones of Sangui's current business include sales of cosmetics and wound management products through different distribution partners in Germany and abroad. Sales in several Arab countries are subject to their registration in the respective countries. Sangui is not involved in these registration procedures and has no influence on them. At present, there is no reliable basis to predict when sales will start and which volumes may be generated. Negotiations about raising a substantial mezzanine loan were now discontinued as conditions appeared to be unfavorable for the company. Further business opportunities are largely dependent on the successful registration of Sangui's Hemospray wound spray. The company's current plans anticipate that the registration for sales in the European Union may be obtained in the course of calendar year 2008.

The company currently has two employees as well as consulting agreements with five persons in charge of management and development acitivities. In the course of the 2007 calendar year several European investors provided cash inflows to the company of more than EUR 0.6 million.

Wolfgang Barnikol resigns from executive positions

Professor Wolfgang Barnikol has declared to lay down his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sangui BioTech International, Inc.. He will continue to serve as a Member of the Board of the company and contribute his scientific and medical expertise to further promote Sangui projects. The Board of Directors has agreed to appoint Thomas Striepe as interim CEO and Joachim Fleing as interim CFO of Sangui International. Both will serve in this position until the election of a new Board of Directors on the occasion of the planned shareholders' meeting. Operations of the company will continue to be directed by Hubertus Schmelz, the Managing Director of SanguiBioTech GmbH the Witten based wholly-owned subsidiary.
