FOR THE FUTURE

WASHINGTON, DC/BALTIMORE, MD – Evergreen Advisors’ client Pathsensors,

through the process but also develop a lasting relationship with us.”

Quote from Rick Kohr

Evergreen structured and assisted Pathsensors in identifying funding to


consummate the acquisition of certain technologies as part of the spin-off
from IBI. Evergreen Advisors was an investor and co-founder in Pathsensors.
Chesapeake Emerging Opportunities, an angel fund co-founded by Evergreen
co-invested in the transaction.

Pathsensors is an attractive biotechnology company because of its mission


critical products that can be used in security and food manufacturing among
other areas. Their technology has leapfrogged similar detection systems

Quote from Ted Olsen on why they chose to move to the BioPark

Ted Olsen, President and CEO


• Senior operations and engineering positions with Corning, Inc., Corvis
Corporation and Hayes, Olsen & Co.

We decided on moving to the BioPark because of its high tech environment


that houses a number of companies with comparable core technology. This
community allows for synergies for the sharing of technical applications and
partnering on business applications.

Quote from Ted Olsen on the future of pathogen identification systems....

We expect that rapid detection systems will expand into high visibility
businesses that are vital to national security and food testing processes. This
technology will allow food manufacturing companies to find and identify
pathogens rapidly to help ensure that the food supply is safer and reduce the
chance that contaminated products will need to be recalled.

• Pathsensors official move in date to the BioPark was December 11,


2011

• Currently Pathsensors has 4 employees but forecasting to be in the


mid-teens by mid next year.
