2010 outlook

2010 will be a year of setting the stage for future growth while aiming for double-digit growth in web-based software sales. The Company hopes to achieve this future growth by modifying its current applications and technologies to adapt them to the needs of health club members to further penetrate the fitness markets in North America, Europe and Japan. As part of these efforts, Biotonix also expects to tap into new sports markets with the planned launch of a customized posture evaluation solution for golfing in the second quarter of 2010. The new solution will be built on Biotonix’s core imaging software technology and designed to assess static posture, body alignment and other important parameters that may enhance golfers’ performance.

Biotonix’s R&D focus will be primarily on the postural alignment table which is currently at the first prototype development stage. The Company expects to initiate a clinical trial for the use of its postural alignment table during the second half of 2010. This novel orthotic product will expand Biotonix’s array of solutions for assessing, improving and correcting postural deviations.

About Biotonix’s web-based solution for posture correction

Back pain is the most widespread orthopedic condition in the United States; each year, 1 in 9 Americans, or 11 percent of the U.S. population, experience an episode of back pain severe enough to impair their usual daily activities(1). Published literature supports the inclusion of postural coordination re-training for the rehabilitation of chronic, recurrent low back pain(2).

First introduced in 1996 at the Atlanta Olympics Games, Biotonix has developed a unique biomechanical evaluation system and method which is at the core of all its applications. The system helps health and fitness professionals to assess, improve and monitor posture and overall fitness. The Biotonix web-based imaging software system is easy to use, non-invasive and provides a complete individualized assessment of musculoskeletal form and function, postural deviation detection, and corresponding corrective exercises. The business model is similar to that of an Application Service Provider (ASP) where the client is charged on a per-use basis (fee per transaction).

All aspects of the Biotonix system are based on well-established scientific principles, and the exercises are guided by world recognized guidelines, recommended by authorities, and research at the UQTR and McGill University which has shown the system to be both valid and reliable. Today, 11 University centres work with Biotonix systems as research, teaching or diagnostic tools. The Biotonix system has been listed as a Class 1 Medical Device both by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada.

To date, the Company has generated over 300,000 postural and fitness assessments, including over 1,000 world-class athletes, NBA, NHL and NFL teams.

About Biotonix’s R&D program: novel orthotics for the back and foot

With orthotics devices it can be possible to overcome some physical limitations in replacement of a corrective exercise program. That is why the Company initiated a R&D program to develop novel orthotics for the back and foot.

Using the postural and biomechanical assessment data generated by the Biotonix system, the Company’s aim is to manufacture and deliver custom-made orthotics for the back and foot, using a new technology and manufacturing process. A postural alignment table is also being developed. Biotonix is developing these new products in partnership with PPD Group, a polymers and rubber compounds specialty company.
