The Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTCBB: TOOT)(February 14, 2008), a premium baker and seller of high-quality, handmade pies, announced yesterday the results of their operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 increased 153% to $857,370 from $339,500 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased 144% to $1,237,579 from $506,790 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

Net income increased to $171,474 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from a net loss of $20,525 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and a decrease in a net loss of $178,591 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 from a net loss of $244,382 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The improvement from a net loss for the prior year period to a net income from the current period was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues generated from pie sales to our existing and new retail, corporate and distributor customers.

"I think these results, especially at this early stage of our business, speak for themselves. We realized a 20% net profit for the quarter. While this period represents our busiest season, it is our team that has to capitalize on the opportunity. I think the entire Tootie Pie team is doing a superb job of making and selling our pies and otherwise executing our overall business plan," said Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company's President & CEO.

These improved results in revenues were driven by a high number of repeat sales to existing wholesale and retail customers; as well as continued growth of new customers in our current wholesale market area of ten states and 12 distribution centers (versus 4 this time last year). We are also beginning to see impressive results stemming from our recent emphasis on sales to multi-unit accounts.

QuantRx Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB: QTXB)(February 14, 2008), a broad-based diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry, announced earlier today that it has entered into a second development and manufacturing agreement with ALT BioScience, LLC to continue the development of their professional periodontal screening product, the second oral healthcare product in their portfolio. The products will be available for distribution in the dental and consumer marketplaces with applications including halitosis, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.

The first QuantRx-developed product is a consumer quick-check test for detection of halitosis and gingivitis and is also based on ALT BioScience's oral health platform technology. Product introduction into the professional market is anticipated in early 2009.

The U.S. dental industry revenues exceeded $85 billion in 2007 and are expected to grow 6-7% per year. U.S. sales of dental equipment are expected to growth 4% per year and exceed $8 billion by year-end 2011. The need for dental diagnostics for early detection of oral disease is valuable since available treatments are very effective in treating diseases in the early-stage; ultimately reducing overall health-care costs.

Leslie J. Herzog, President and Chief Executive Officer of ALT BioScience, stated, "There is an unmet need for a broad-based periodontal screening that will capture more patients and improve overall periodontal health. While emerging evidence continues to suggest a link between systemic diseases and oral health, our innovative pipeline will help drive awareness among consumers and professionals for better overall general health. There is a paradigm shift in the way professionals and healthcare plans approach better patient management in addition to how consumers take more ownership of their health. We are in the forefront of change with the technology to support the breadth of applications across markets." Ms. Herzog added, "We are pleased to continue our relationship with QuantRx on the development of our point-of-care diagnostics and to manufacture our technologies across applicable markets." Cindy Horton, QuantRx Vice President-Diagnostics, said, "We are pleased with the expansion of our collaboration with ALT. It revalidates QuantRx's expertise in the point-of-care diagnostics field. QuantRx's ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize point-of-care diagnostic products puts us in a unique position of developing breakthrough products with category leaders in the medical field. We feel this partnership gives QuantRx an entry point to the fast growing oral care market. We feel this collaboration will greatly enhance our revenue base."
