  4. Cardiovascular Disease is Highly Prevalent and Poorly Diagnosed • 1 in 3 deaths annually are caused by heart disease and stroke. • 1.5 million people suffer heart attacks annually in the U.S. • Nearly 1/3 of the deaths could be prevented through proactive changes in clinical management or lifestyle • Often the FIRST SYMPTOM of coronary artery disease is a heart attack. 1 World Health Organization (WHO) 2 Center for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta 4 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  5. The First Sign of Heart Disease is Often a Heart Attack • Current front line cardiovascular health diagnostics are insensitive at measuring heart disease development Specialized cardiovascular diagnostics • are highly invasive and expensive and generally only catch cardiovascular disease AFTER it’s developed ...we need a simple way to proactively measure and monitor cardiovascular system health BEFORE the development of heart disease 5 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  6. Early Heart Disease Detection Is Critical Knowing the core health of the cardiovascular system is critical to preventing future heart attacks and strokes • Monitoring cardiovascular health changes over time is key to prevention via lifestyle modification, physician care and ongoing monitoring. • Traditional measures of blood pressure and cholesterol measurements are only partial indicators of cardiovascular health. 6 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  7. Monitoring Endothelial Health Predicts Onset of Heart Disease Endothelial function tests measure when arteries are vulnerable to developing atherosclerosis • Endothelium: a single layer of cells that line the heart, blood and lymphatic vessels. • Function: Acts as a shield, preventing plaque from forming inside the artery wall, and produce substances that stop blood clots from developing in the vessel. • Monitoring endothelial function over time predicts the onset of heart disease long before symptoms begin. 7 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  8. Current Endothelial Function Measurement Tools are Complicated and Expensive • Gold standard - ULTRASOUND • Measurement directly views arterial diameter changes • Only at specialized diagnostic centers • Requires trained ultrasonographer • Expensive capital equipment needed • Alternative method - ENDOPAT • Measurement uses a fingertip blood oxygen sensor and laptop computer. • Only at specialized diagnostic centers • Requires trained technician Currently only used in specialized research centers by highly trained staff 8 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  9. Lexington Has a Simple and Elegant Solution An easy-to-use product designed to easily and accurately measure endothelial function HeartSentry stimulates the endothelium and then accurately measures the arterial response. In healthy patients, arterial volume changes after endothelial stimulation are much greater than baseline levels, typically by more than 80%. HeartSentry is compact and inexpensive enough for use in the professional clinic market as well as the home market . 9 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  10. Technology Comparison ULTRASOUND ENDOPAT HEARTSENTRY Cost ~$50k-$200k / unit ~$27k / unit Inexpensive Varying hospital costs $40 per procedure Minimal operating costs Training Ultrasonographer Specialized technician No specialized training Location Clinic based Clinic Based Portable: Designed for clinic or home use ~15 min Time 1hr+ 5 min Method Imaging of large arteries in Measures capillaries in Directly measures endothelial fingertip function in large arteries in arm arm IT data None None Bluetooth results upload easily to integration cloud hosted database 10 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  11. Compelling HeartSentry Research and Test Data Early Prototype Clinical Research: • Initial results with 50 patients demonstrated a strong correlation to standard ultrasound measurements • 500% improved sensitivity over ultrasound • Consistently higher accuracy with lower variability than ultrasound • Faster and easier to use HeartSentry Commercial Product Concept HeartSentry First Prototype HeartSentry Gen 1 Clinical Study Product 11 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF

  12. HeartSentry Technology Origin Invented and developed over a fifteen year period by Thomas F. Budinger, M.D. Ph.D, and Jonathan S. Maltz, Ph.D, joint-winners of an international award in 2006 for their instrument to assess endothelial function. Licensed to Lexington by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the field of cardiovascular vascular health diagnosis and monitoring. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is synonymous with “excellence.” • Thirteen Nobel Prizes are associated with Berkeley Lab • Seventy lab scientists are members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) • Thirteen lab scientists have won the National Medal of Science • Eighteen lab engineers have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering • Three scientists have been elected into the Institute of Medicine (IOM) CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF 12

  13. HeartSentry U.S. Market Approval is Fast Tracked HEARTSENTRY is an FDA regulated product that will use the 510(k) premarket notification process HeartSentry FDA Classification: • Class: II • Panel: Cardiovascular Likely HeartSentry Predicate Devices • Itamar Medical EndoPat 2000 • iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor International market approvals are also being pursued. The 510(k) process demonstrates to the FDA that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, and is substantially equivalent (SE) to an existing legally marketed predicate device 13 CSE: LNB │ OTCQB: LXGTF
