Power3 Medical Delays Filing 2006 Form 10-KSB

HOUSTON, April 17, 2007 -- Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (OTC BB: PWRM) said today that it will file Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting that it was unable to file its 2006 Form 10-KSB within the extended filing deadline ending , but that it expects to file the 10-KSB within 30 days.

As it reported in the 8-K filing, Power3 is required to include certain audited financial statements from FY 2005 in its 10-KSB for FY 2006. However, Power3 has been unable to obtain the necessary consent for that period from its former auditor, John A. Braden & Company, P.C., of Houston, due to a claim of unpaid invoices and a dispute over services rendered in 2006.

Malone & and Bailey, P.C. of Houston, Power3’s auditor of record, has completed the 2006 audit on-schedule and on-budget, said Steven B. Rash, chairman and CEO of Power3, and has also been engaged to reaudit fiscal year 2005. Mr. Rash said Power3 does not anticipate any restatements or other issues regarding the reaudit of FY 2005.

“The failure of John A. Braden & Company to provide consent for use of their audited FY 2005 numbers in Power3’s Form 10-KSB for 2006 is yet another disappointment in our relationship with the firm,” he said. “Their final decision, which was communicated to us shortly before the filing deadline, has prevented us from timely reporting of our FY 2006 financial results.

“While this delay in filing presents difficulties not anticipated,” said Mr. Rash, “optimism at Power3 remains at an all-time high regarding our ongoing scientific discovery efforts and the very significant business progress we have recently announced.”
