BICO, INC.                                                         NEWS RELEASE

                                BICO, INC. ALLOWS
                          AMSTRAD EXCLUSIVITY TO LAPSE

Dove Canyon, California - January 31, 2005 - BICO, Inc. (OTCBB: BIKO) announced
that the exclusivity agreement with Amstrad has lapsed, and as a result BICO
will not be the exclusive distributor of the Amstrad model E3 video webphone in
the United States and Canada.

Richard Greenwood, President and CEO commented, "So long as Amstrad continues to
supply us with E3 Webphones, we will continue to include them as part of our
product / solution mix; however, BICO will no longer be the exclusive
distributor."

The financial requirements to preserve the exclusivity and changing customer
preferences resulted in the decision to let the exclusivity lapse.

BICO is continuing previously initiated discussions with additional suppliers of
Internet appliances which would be comparable to the E3, but may include a
broadband connection with Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capabilities. The
Company's goal is to provide its customers with a full range of connected
solutions to meet their various needs, and to keep pace with recent marketplace
developments as the telecommunications industry adjusts to the convergence of
voice, data and video delivery.
