2009 INAUGURAL SALES OF ONKO-SURE
2009 was the inaugural year for commercial sales of ADI's Onko-Sure cancer
test. In 2009, ADI sold 1,005 Onko-Sure Test kits at an average price of
US$270.00 per kit (FOB Tustin, California) providing US$266,00 in gross
revenues. The Onko-Sure test kit manufacturing cost is approximately
US$58.00 per kit, providing approximately an 81% gross profit margin per

approximately US$969,219, providing ADI an operating loss of approximately
(US$762,219). In 2009, we sold Onko-Sure kits in 10 countries through 9
separate distribution partners.
2010 NEXT-GEN ONKO-SURE TRIALS
During the first two quarters of 2010, we anticipate completing clinical
testing on approximately 1,400 cancer patient blood serum samples in order
to expand the relevancy of our next-gen version of Onko-Sure, by
definitively proving that our current laboratory based next-gen version of
Onko-Sure has the ability to detect multiple cancers in stage one growth
phase. We also expect to commence a separate set of clinical testing that
will provide data for a late 2010 510K FDA submission, seeking the
marketing approval for our next-gen version of Onko-Sure. The stage one
detection claim of the next-gen version of Onko-Sure is anticipated to
dramatically enhance the marketability and sales of our test kits and the
CLIA lab testing services beginning as early as the 3rd quarter of 2010.
2010 NEW CLINICAL STUDIES, MARKET RESEARCH REPORTS, AND NEW ADI-AUTHORED
STUDIES
ADI has signed a collaboration agreement with the University of Chile
cancer research team to share data and publish a new clinical study
including Onko-Sure as a lung cancer screening tool. Additionally,
negotiations are under way to enter into a collaborative agreement (Q1,
2010) with a key opinion leader at the Hadasah Medical Center in Israel to
sponsor an indication or general cancer testing clinical study with
Onko-Sure using extensive samples. The US publication of a new study by ADI
scientific staff comparing the efficacy of Onko-Sure as a CRC monitoring
tool with advantages over current tests is expected in Q1 2010. This new
published study will support and accelerate the commercialization effort in
the US, the world's number one IVD market. ADI also anticipates staff
publication of another new study, during Q3 of 2010, covering the utility
of Onko-Sure for lung cancer screening and treatment monitoring. ADI
expects results (Q1 2010) of an INVIDA (invida.com) sponsored Frost &
Sullivan market research report highlighting size and scope of healthcare
market for Onko-Sure (both public and private) cancer testing in key
Asia-Pacific territories. ADI is also in advanced negotiations to
commission a study by Frost & Sullivan in the US that will provide valuable
market data from key opinion leaders and clinical reference labs for the
U.S. market. These critical clinical studies, white papers and market
research are significant catalysts that are anticipated to lifting sales of
our
Onko-Sure test kits sales in 2010.
