Biophan’s Mission
• Provide competitive advantage through innovation to biomedical device and pharmaceutical companies
• Benefiting patient care, our customer’s marketshare, and Biophan shareholders
CAUTION! CAUTION!
• FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS FOLLOW
• FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS FOLLOW
Strategy & Tactics
• Enable over $12 billion worth of medical devices shipping annually safe for use with MRI, and imageable. Many are not:
– Guidewires, catheters, endoscopes, biopsy needles– Pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, drug pumps
(safety issues, also imaging issues), pain control devices– Stents, embolism clips, aneurysm clips, artificial hips, knees,
most other orthopedics
• Create or Acquire Other Innovations
Business Model• Offering our customers competitive advantage
– Through proprietary solutions that can gain marketshare for them
– FDA approval is pursued by the customer– Marketing and distribution of the final device is their
responsibility
• We sell high margin components and develop annuities for our shareholders
Summary Financial Information
• Share Price (06.21.05): $2.55• 52-Week High: $3.50• 52 Week Low: $0.46• Shares Outstanding: 74 million• Float: 65 million• Market Cap: $189.5 million• Average Daily Volume: 998,672
Biophan’s Solutions
• MRI Safety: (many products contraindicated)– RF filter from Johns Hopkins (heating)– “Anti-Antenna” lead design (heating & induced voltages)– MRI Safe non-magnetic motor
• MRI Visualization: – Resonant Circuits– Nanomagnetic Particle Coatings– Thick and thin film coatings
• Longer Lasting Batteries, powered by body heat
PROTECTED, PROTECTED!
• Technologies covered by– 140 U.S. Patents
• 38 ISSUED• 102 pending or allowed
• 46 International Pending or Issued• Owned by Biophan or licensed exclusively to
Biophan for the medical market
Relationship With Boston Scientific
• Joint development agreement, originally entered into November, 2003
• Recently moved to second and third phase, and has expanded to multiple products
• Reached agreement on term sheet, working on
final contract phase

Biophan’s thin-film
nanomagnetic particle
coating technology
provides a controllable,
“magnetic” signal
capable of creating an
image of the coated
device.

Biothermal Battery
• Goal: To provide a long-lived electrical power system for implanted medical devices
– Powered by body heat differential.
• Batteries are a $500 million market, sell for $100 to $225 each in the pacemaker, defibrillator and drug pump markets
• Sold to same customers who need MRI safety
• Nanomaterials brings this capability within striking distance. We hold issued and pending patents
Agreement with NASA
• Announced on August 17th a deal with NASA Ames Research Center for Nanotechnology to jointly develop the biothermal battery
– NASA wants technology for their long duration manned MARS mission for biosensing and miniature therapeutic devices
– Biophan gets commercial rights to jointly developed and NASA developed technology
– Nanotechnology and materials science advances makes the biothermal battery possible
• Non-Magnetic• MRI-Safe and
Imageable • Greater
efficiency• Enables precision
20 nm movements
• Ideal for drug pumps, cryogenic applications, implantables
• Biophan holds worldwide medical distribution rights, + equity

Apply magnetic field to concentrate particles
Modulate field to release drug from particles
Inject NMPs IV,NMP will circulate through the blood stream
Other options for targeting:1 - Direct injection into tumor site2 - Coating NMP with antibodies to target tumor
Markets• Medical devices (safe &/or image): $12 billion• Battery: $500 million • Contrast Agents: $800 million • Drug Pumps: $1 billion• Drug Delivery: $40 billion• We would like to achieve a slice of each. • Once a deal is underway, patents and annuity streams can
last a long time; • We anticipate money on signing, through development; plus
milestones, royalties, high margin components
