FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HYDROMER, Inc.
ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF BIOSEARCH, Inc. PURCHASE
SOMERVILLE, New Jersey, February 3, 2000, ---Hydromer, Inc.(OTC Bulletin
Board: HYDI) today announces that it concluded all the formalities involved in
the purchase of the stock of Biosearch Medical Products, Inc. On February 2,
2000 the stockholders of Biosearch Medical Products, Inc. voted in favor of
exchanging their shares for $0.20 per share. Today, the Hydromer Board of
Directors have concluded that all conditions of the exchange have been met and
authorized the filing of a Certificate of Exchange with the State of New Jersey.
The certificates held by the former Biosearch stockholders are now evidence of
the right to receive $0.20 per share; Hydromer will contact these certificate
holders and request they send in the certificates in exchange for the payment.
Manfred F. Dyck, C.E.O. and President of Hydromer indicated "This union of the
two companies will increase our ability to compete in the marketplace with more
extensive products and services, namely: production and coating of medical
devices on an OEM basis, the coating of products produced by others in the
medical, optical and industrial markets, the sale of cosmetic bases and coating
compounds and the building of custom coating machinery, incorporating the
proprietary processes and chemicals developed by Biosearch and Hydromer.
Hydromer and Biosearch have a long history of a cooperative working
relationship. Hydromer supplied a bulk of the medical coating solutions which
Biosearch has incorporated into its products as Biosearch holds the FDA
registration as a medical device manufacturer with designs and procedures that
have been reviewed under the FDA GMP's and the requirements set by ISO. This
union will increase the ability to devise better coatings and products on a
continual basis."
It is expected that the filing requirements with the SEC will be met before the
week ends. For further information, contact Bob Moravsik, General Counsel at
908-526-2828.
