Company provides formal response to misleading recently published short report
SALT LAKE CITY, March 30, 2020 — Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (“Predictive” or “The Company”), a leader in the development of genetic and molecular diagnostics and companion therapeutics, and its manufacturing partner, Jiangsu Dablood Pharmaceutical CO, Ltd. (Dablood), a partner entity of Da An Gene Co., Ltd., today made several updates and progress reports on its Assurance AB™ COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test(Assurance AB)intended for laboratories and healthcare workers at the point-of-care in the U.S.
“An opinion piece critical of Predictive was posted online last week by individually unidentified author(s) who admitted they have taken a short position in shares of The Company,” said John Sorrentino, chairman of Predictive Technology Group. “We encourage every reader to do their own due diligence and review the documents posted today on Predictive Laboratories’ website. The author(s), hiding behind anonymity – and attempts to disclaim – also warn that ‘Hindenburg Research makes no representation, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any such information.’ Because the opinion piece itself warns readers of its short position-based bias and its unwillingness to guarantee the accuracy of any ‘information’ it espouses, The Company will not dignify the opinion piece with a point-by-point response, however we felt compelled to address a few egregious misrepresentations and untruths.”
The opinion piece asserts a material falsehood that “Dablood is NOT one of the companies approved by the Chinese government to offer COVID-19 tests. The official list of approved COVID-19 test providers is published by the Chinese government, was updated as of March 17th, and does not include Dablood or its affiliates.” If properly investigated, one can find that #5 on the referenced list is Da An Gene Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Darui Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Da An Gene Co., Ltd., has joint venture entity in Dablood. As such, Dablood operates under the Da An Gene Co., Ltd. license.
Regarding Predictive’s formal request for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA to distribute Assurance AB, the opinion piece states, in part, that “Predictive has no specific approval from requisite U.S. authorities to provide this test.” The Company views this statement as simply not true.
“The FDA’s recent guidance on COVID-19 antibody (i.e. serological) diagnostic tests clearly allows manufacturers to market these tests in the United States to laboratories and healthcare workers at the point of care, so long as the tests have been validated and notification is provided to the FDA,” said Bradley Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “The Predictive/Dablood test meets these criteria. Additionally, The Company has formally submitted an EUA with the FDA. If granted, this would provide Predictive the ability to market the test for in-home use.”
Predictive Laboratories, Inc., a wholly-owned entity of The Company, operates a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory which is responsible for the distribution of the Assurance AB.Predictive Laboratories has updated its website to include the following:
- Dablood Board of Directors
response to the erroneous and misleading Hindenburg opinion piece published on
March 27, 2020
- FDA confirmation receipt of
EUA application
- Representative of Foreign
Manufacturer Notice from Dablood to the FDA
- Manufacturer FDA EUA
Notification from Dablood to the FDA
- U.S. Agent Retainer
Agreement
“The Hindenburg piece repeatedly and inaccurately
attempts to cast Predictive solely as a stem cell company while ignoring The
Company’s other diagnostic assets, such as ARTguideTM and
FertilityDXTM, and its recently announced diagnostic assay collaboration
with Atrin Pharmaceuticals. In this context, a COVID-19 rapid antibody test is
a logical addition to Predictive’s portfolio. Nevertheless, they attempt to
cast Predictive as simply a stem cell company,” said Robinson. “Predictive
encourages thoughtful investors to consider the motives of these anonymous
authors when assessing the truthfulness and accuracy of any statement or report
in the opinion piece. Predictive will pursue any and all legal actions against
individuals and entities who intentionally mislead Predictive stakeholders.”
“The response to the announcement of Assurance
AB (March 25, 2020) has been very strong,” continued
Robinson.
“In particular, both international and domestic governmental agencies have
expressed strong interest in how rapid antibody testing can help with the
public health response to this critical pandemic. We want to acknowledge the
tireless activities by our employees and partners in developing a tool that can
be a part of solving this global health crisis.”

Predictive Submits Emergency Use Authorization Application for Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to COVID -19 with Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells
/in Predictive Technology Group, Press Releases /by Yes InternationalSALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Predictive Biotech, a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (“Predictive” or “The Company”), announced that on April 9th it submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the immediate use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), secondary to SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shown to develop into severe ARDS in 30% of hospitalized patients with a 22%-62% mortality rate (Murthy et al., 2020) for those requiring hospitalization in an intensive care unit. Currently, there is no confirmed treatment that can demonstrate safety or efficacy for the treatment of COVID-19.
“Coronavirus can be deadly, in large part because the virus can cause ‘cytokine storms’ in which the patient’s own immune system triggers a runaway response causing more damage to the patient, than to the virus it’s trying to eliminate” said John Sorrentino, Chairman of Predictive Technology Group. “Respiratory distress kills hundreds of thousands of people each year worldwide. There is clinical data from early clinical trials that seem to indicate that the avoidance of the cytokine storm utilizing MSCs may be a critical component for the treatment of COVID-19 infected patients.”
A recent review article published in Pain Physician, concluded that, “The limited but emerging evidence regarding UC MSC [umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells] in managing COVID-19 suggests that it might be considered for compassionate use in critically ill patients to reduce morbidity and mortality in the United States.”
The proposed IND clinical trial will utilize Predictive’s proprietary core technology of naturally occurring MSCs derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSCs) to assess the efficacy as an add-on therapy to standard treatment of patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19.
Predictive’s UC MSC product, CoreCyteTM,
has already been used as an allograft in over 50,000 patients. Physicians have reported to Predictive that over 1,100 patients have been treated with CoreCyte via intravenous administration. No serious adverse events have been reported with CoreCyte regardless of the route of administration. If Predictive’s EUA request is approved, CoreCyte would be available immediately to critically ill patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 infections.

Predictive Technology Group and Manufacturing Partners Provide Updates of Its Assurance AB™ COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test for Use by Laboratories and Healthcare Workers at the Point of Care
/in Predictive Technology Group, Press Releases /by Yes InternationalCompany provides formal response to misleading recently published short report
SALT LAKE CITY, March 30, 2020 — Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (“Predictive” or “The Company”), a leader in the development of genetic and molecular diagnostics and companion therapeutics, and its manufacturing partner, Jiangsu Dablood Pharmaceutical CO, Ltd. (Dablood), a partner entity of Da An Gene Co., Ltd., today made several updates and progress reports on its Assurance AB™ COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test(Assurance AB)intended for laboratories and healthcare workers at the point-of-care in the U.S.
“An opinion piece critical of Predictive was posted online last week by individually unidentified author(s) who admitted they have taken a short position in shares of The Company,” said John Sorrentino, chairman of Predictive Technology Group. “We encourage every reader to do their own due diligence and review the documents posted today on Predictive Laboratories’ website. The author(s), hiding behind anonymity – and attempts to disclaim – also warn that ‘Hindenburg Research makes no representation, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any such information.’ Because the opinion piece itself warns readers of its short position-based bias and its unwillingness to guarantee the accuracy of any ‘information’ it espouses, The Company will not dignify the opinion piece with a point-by-point response, however we felt compelled to address a few egregious misrepresentations and untruths.”
The opinion piece asserts a material falsehood that “Dablood is NOT one of the companies approved by the Chinese government to offer COVID-19 tests. The official list of approved COVID-19 test providers is published by the Chinese government, was updated as of March 17th, and does not include Dablood or its affiliates.” If properly investigated, one can find that #5 on the referenced list is Da An Gene Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Darui Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Da An Gene Co., Ltd., has joint venture entity in Dablood. As such, Dablood operates under the Da An Gene Co., Ltd. license.
Regarding Predictive’s formal request for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA to distribute Assurance AB, the opinion piece states, in part, that “Predictive has no specific approval from requisite U.S. authorities to provide this test.” The Company views this statement as simply not true.
“The FDA’s recent guidance on COVID-19 antibody (i.e. serological) diagnostic tests clearly allows manufacturers to market these tests in the United States to laboratories and healthcare workers at the point of care, so long as the tests have been validated and notification is provided to the FDA,” said Bradley Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “The Predictive/Dablood test meets these criteria. Additionally, The Company has formally submitted an EUA with the FDA. If granted, this would provide Predictive the ability to market the test for in-home use.”
Predictive Laboratories, Inc., a wholly-owned entity of The Company, operates a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory which is responsible for the distribution of the Assurance AB.Predictive Laboratories has updated its website to include the following:
“The Hindenburg piece repeatedly and inaccurately attempts to cast Predictive solely as a stem cell company while ignoring The Company’s other diagnostic assets, such as ARTguideTM and FertilityDXTM, and its recently announced diagnostic assay collaboration with Atrin Pharmaceuticals. In this context, a COVID-19 rapid antibody test is a logical addition to Predictive’s portfolio. Nevertheless, they attempt to cast Predictive as simply a stem cell company,” said Robinson. “Predictive encourages thoughtful investors to consider the motives of these anonymous authors when assessing the truthfulness and accuracy of any statement or report in the opinion piece. Predictive will pursue any and all legal actions against individuals and entities who intentionally mislead Predictive stakeholders.”
“The response to the announcement of Assurance AB (March 25, 2020) has been very strong,” continued Robinson. “In particular, both international and domestic governmental agencies have expressed strong interest in how rapid antibody testing can help with the public health response to this critical pandemic. We want to acknowledge the tireless activities by our employees and partners in developing a tool that can be a part of solving this global health crisis.”

Predictive Technology Group Announces Launch of Assurance AB™ COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test for Use by Laboratories and Healthcare Workers at the Point of Care
/in Predictive Technology Group, Press Releases /by Yes InternationalAssurance AB™ is a single-use, self-contained SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) antibody detection test that provides results in 15-minutes
SALT LAKE CITY, March 25, 2020 — Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (“Predictive” or “The Company”), a leader in the development of genetic and molecular diagnostics and companion therapeutics today announced that in response to the demand for high volume test availability for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) global pandemic, Predictive Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Company has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of its intent to immediately distribute the validated Assurance AB™ COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test (Assurance AB) test to laboratories and healthcare workers at the point-of-care in the U.S.
The Assurance AB test was developed to detect the presence of IgM and/or IgG antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The test requires only a fingerstick to sample an individual’s blood which is then placed on the self-contained test device. The test takes 15-minutes to display results. The test results indicate the presence of antibodies associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
“Our company is committed to help with the global challenge of testing for the COVID-19 virus.” said Bradley Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “Testing strategies for the pandemic are fluid and changing daily. We have worked diligently with our partners who have experience in testing tens of millions of patients worldwide. We appreciate their assistance in allocating resources and transferring vital knowledge for identifying individuals that have had an immune reaction and developed antibodies in response to virus exposure. Domestic and international governmental agencies, healthcare groups, pharmacies and employers have shown a strong interest in our test,” added Robinson. The Company will distribute the Assurance AB test through its wholly-owned subsidiary Predictive Laboratories, Inc., a CLIA certified and CAP accredited laboratory.
John Nelson M.D. former president of the American Medical Association and Predictive scientific advisory board member commented “The overwhelming need for a quick and accurate test for this pandemic is obvious. Focusing on an antibody test helps accelerate results and protect healthcare workers. The Assurance AB test is a valuable tool for truly understanding the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S.”
Assurance AB can help authorities, employers and healthcare workers make informed decisions on whether or not to continue precautions. Point of care serology testing may allow individuals with antibodies the confidence to go back to the workplace and engage in their communities.
Additional advantages of the Assurance AB test include:
Because of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, several states including California and New York have recently expressed immediate need for rapid antibody testing. While there are benefits to viral testing, serology antibody testing allows patients to know if they have been exposed to the virus and if they have developed antibodies typically associated with immunity.
Assurance AB COVID-19 IgM/IgG Rapid Antibody Test is being manufactured in cooperation with Jiangsu Dablood Pharmaceutical CO, Ltd. Dablood Pharmaceutical has successfully distributed 38 million tests to date throughout Asia and Europe. To the best of Predictive’s knowledge, Dablood Pharmaceutical is one of very few companies approved by the Chinese government to co-develop and manufacture rapid antibody tests. Dablood Pharmaceutical is one of the largest diagnostic kit manufacturers in China and is currently producing up to 1.5 million units of the rapid antibody test per day in China. Predictive evaluated other potential developers and suppliers and believes Dablood Pharmaceutical provides not only existing inventory, its high-volume production capacity enables them to rapidly increase production to provide high-quality tests to meet rapidly expanding global demand. Dablood Pharmaceutical has been recognized by the Chinese government for its effort of developing and producing testing products to help the detect the COVID-19 and has received approval for distribution of its test across the domestic Chinese market and the European Union with a CE mark.
Predictive is also pursuing procurement authorization through the Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority (BARDA) under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in Health and Human Services (HHS). The Company cautions that if the federal government decides to restrict adequate reimbursement or the foreign import of products manufactured in Asia, the Company will not be able to provide access to these tests in the U.S.
