TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 26, 2009) -

Attention: Business/Financial Editors

The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE:MKI), a pioneer in the development of medical software solutions that help improve imaging workflow and productivity, today announced its business highlights and unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine-months ended March 31, 2009.

"Despite the current economic conditions, Medipattern has successfully advanced a number of new initiatives that position the Company to generate multiple revenue streams and improve profitability in the coming quarters," said Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern. "B-CAD-FOR-LIFETM has already produced more than 50 subscribers doubling the installed base for B-CAD® since its launch in February of this year. We see the managed service model as a win-win for Medipattern and our customers as they access all of the functionality of B-CAD through a monthly payment plan, while Medipattern benefits from the recurring revenue stream. We are very optimistic that the current sales trend with B-CAD-FOR-LIFE will continue. Combined with on-going collaborative projects with GE Healthcare in the breast and vascular markets, as well as global sales opportunities for B-CAD as proven by recent shipments to China, we are expecting significant improvement in our top and bottom line performance beginning in the second half of 2009."

Business Highlights in Calendar 2009:

- January 29, 2009 - Medipattern announces that the Company has extended their collaboration and development agreement with GE Healthcare to create ultrasound-based Vascular Imaging Quantification Tools as an application: Vascular iQTM.

- February 12, 2009 - Medipattern announces B-CAD-FOR-LIFETM, a new sales model for accessing the benefits of B-CAD. All of the components to tailor the installation for each customer including B-CAD software, seat licenses and hardware, as well as training, installation and maintenance fees, are bundled under one flat monthly fee.

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter:

- April 30, 2009 - Medipattern announces the signing of an Enterprise Wide B-CAD-FOR-LIFE managed service contract with Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, Long Island, New York's largest private medical imaging practice.

- May 8, 2009 - Medipattern announces the signing of another Enterprise-Wide B-CAD-FOR-LIFE managed service contract with Metropolitan Diagnostic Imaging Group who service the metropolitan New York area with locations in Manhattan, Forest Hills, Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island. The contract marks the 100th B-CAD license agreement.

- May 22, 2009 - Medipattern commences shipments to the China Primary Health Care Foundation ("CPHCF") as part of the CPHCF's purchase order for two hundred (200) B-CAD systems, as previously announced in December 2008. The CPHCF is purchasing the equipment for a pilot breast-screening program in hospitals throughout rural China.

Financial Highlights of the Third Quarter:

- Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $19,025, versus $162,114 in the same quarter of fiscal 2008. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2009, Medipattern reported revenues of $167,460 versus $450,347 in the corresponding period in fiscal 2008. Most of the revenue came from professional fees earned as a result of software development work done to customize B-CAD for a specific customer. Licensing revenue totaled $45,117 compared to $224,222 in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008 of which $123,069 was the amount of deferred revenue recognized;

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, operating expenses were $3.22 million versus $2.86 million in the same nine-month period in fiscal 2008;

- Resulting net loss for the third quarter of the current fiscal year was $883,253 ($0.02 per share) versus $876,710 ($0.02 per share) for the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, Medipattern reported a net loss of $3.05 million ($0.07 per share) compared to a net loss of $2.41 million ($0.06 per share) in the same period in fiscal 2008;

Note: The March 31, 2008 results were restated from last year's interim
filing due to adjustments made during the year-end audit. The fair value
of the stock options issued during fiscal 2008 were recomputed at a higher
volatility resulting in an increase to stock compensation expense of
$95,890 for the 9-month period and $49,195 for the 3-month period thereby
increasing the net loss by these amounts.
