Summary Judgment Decision by Southern District Bankruptcy Court, New York; No Liability For Bioshield Executives
ATLANTA, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BioShield Technologies, Inc (OTC Bulletin Board: BSTI) announced today that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, overseeing the case of AHT Corporation vs. BioShield Technologies, Inc., and certain directors and officers of the Company as defendants, has awarded a summary judgment in favor of certain officers and directors of Bioshield Technologies in a decision that was handed down on July 16, 2002 by the Honorable Judge Hardin. Tim Moses stated "this is phenomenal news for the executives of Bioshield and removes a burden that has hung over our heads for over a year and a half. We are hopeful that this will serve as a springboard to resolving the rest of this case in the near future and moving forward with a renewed focus on building BioShield Technologies and finally putting this distraction behind us." AHT still has the opportunity to seek to overturn the favorable decision BioShield executives received. Although the final outcome of this case cannot be determined at this time, BioShield's management believes in the potential for favorable developments on the corporate level that will positively impact BioShield Technologies, Inc. and its shareholders.
