“Bioject continues to carefully manage operations, delivering a 60% reduction in operating loss for the third quarter of 2009 and a 75% reduction in operating loss for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the respective prior year periods,” said Ralph Makar, Bioject’s President and

CEO. “Although our cash operating loss has decreased significantly, payments on our debt obligations have significantly impacted our cash reserves. Due to our limited financial reserves, managing cash continues to be a priority, as well as working to grow the business and secure new deals in a timely manner. While all of our efforts to date have allowed us to maintain cash on hand at about the same level as at the end of the third quarter of 2008, it is important that we secure additional financing for the Company’s future. We believe the transaction contemplated by the recently signed term sheet with Signet Healthcare Partners, regarding our Series G Preferred Stock financing. will give us additional time to try to secure financing or explore other strategic alternatives by providing Bioject with additional capital and removing a significant amount of debt,” said Mr. Makar.

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss third quarter results on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Live audio of the conference call will be available to investors, members of the news media and the general public. To participate in the call via telephone, please dial 1-877-407-8037.
