BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc. Voluntarily Files Form 15 to Suspend SEC Reporting Obligations

AMES, IA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: BFNH), a producer of products and solutions for academic and commercial users based upon its ultra-micro to nano scale fluid deposition platform, filed paperwork today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to terminate the Company's registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the Company's obligation to file periodic and current reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, has been suspended.

Kerry Frey, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioForce, said, "We engaged in a thorough analysis of the benefits and costs associated with remaining a small reporting company. Factors considered included the onerous costs of compliance required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the ongoing burden associated with the preparation and filing of periodic and current reports with the SEC, and the substantial diversion of management's time and efforts from the tasks required to grow the Company's business. Our conclusion was that in this environment we could no longer justify the estimated $200,000 of annual costs of SEC reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and that those funds are better spent on value creating activities such as sales, marketing and product development."

Greg Brown, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BioForce, said, "BioForce is not going private or 'going dark.' While no longer required by the SEC after deregistering, we plan to continue to provide quarterly and annual updates, and other information regarding the Company's performance to its shareholders via the Pink Sheets' OTC News and Disclosure Service as well as through our e-mail database and website. In addition, the Company anticipates that trading will continue in the Company's common stock on the Pink Sheets under the same symbol of 'BFNH.'"
