CHAD Therapeutics, Inc. (AMEX:CTU) announced that it has closed the
sale of the assets related to CHAD's oxygen conserving business to
Inovo, Inc., a privately held manufacturer of oxygen regulators and
conservers based in Naples, Florida, for $5.25 million in cash,
pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2007.
Earl Yager, CHAD's President and CEO, said, "We are pleased that we
have completed the sale of our oxygen conserver assets, an
important step in our plan to focus our future efforts on the sleep
disorder market. We believe our sleep products offer unique
features that can improve the diagnosis and treatment of sleep
disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. We recently filed an
application with the FDA for clearance to begin marketing the first
of our sleep products. With additional proprietary products in an
advanced stage of development and a roadmap of additional product
development opportunities based on our patented technology, we
believe we have the opportunity to build CHAD's position in this
large and growing industry. In addition, we will continue to
actively pursue the sale of our trans-filling assets." About CHAD
