More Internet news on my beloved BNTK. .. :) Tuesday January 12, 11:33 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Bionet Technologies Adds Yahoo Virtual Store to E-commerce Venture JUPITER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 1999--BioNet Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: BNTK - news) announced today that it is expanding its pet and livestock related e-commerce venture to include a virtual store on the highly popular and successful Yahoo web site. The site will provide the visitor the opportunity to enjoy one-stop shopping for health and nutrition related items for their favorite pet or their commercial livestock. The company will divide its e-commerce addition into distinct sections. Each section will focus on its own multi-billion dollar market segment. The pet section will provide pet owners with an opportunity to obtain the finest nutritional supplements, vitamins and health and beauty aids for their favorite pets as well as products designed to improve the quality of life for pet and pet owner alike. Commercial animal owners will have their own section; designed to improve the performance or productivity of their specific animals from livestock to race horses. Further sections will be added to serve the veterinary industry as products become available and demand warrants. The company's web site, bionettech.com already provides information on its two subsidiaries. Immune Technologies has developed a proprietary biotech product utilizing their innovative new ''Immune Modulation Technology''. This process treats microbial infections by enhancing or strengthening the patient's immune system enabling the animal to, in effect, cure itself. Immune's products that will be marketed under the trade name IMODâ„¢ have proven extremely effective in clinical trials and are being submitted to the USDA for approval in veterinary applications. Initial target markets are for diseases affecting horses, dogs, cats, cows and pigs. GreenGold International, BioNet's other subsidiary, owns patents relating to the commercial production of duckweed, a water plant which produces protein superior to soy beans at rates 10 times faster than soy beans and which has been used globally for over 15 years as a viable alternative for treating nitrogen rich waste water. Greengold's business plan calls for the integration of its duckweed production units into the waste disposal systems of hog farms, replacing the traditional method of spraying the waste on open fields. According to Alan Schafler, President of BioNet Technologies, ''Yahoo is one of the most popular sites on the internet. We are very pleased to be able to bring our products to the many consumers who visit Yahoo every day. We are also pleased with the market's response to this aspect of our venture.
