Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS.OB) Signs Strategic Agreement to Advance State and Federal Agencies Programs
Cannabis Science Inc., an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis company, was pleased to announce this morning that it has signed an agreement with Leading Points Corp. to represent its products, services and initiatives to various government and military agencies. Leading Points is led by its founder who retains 20 years of service as an active duty commissioned officer to establish and secure mutually beneficial relationships between its clients and the military and government markets.
Leading Points Corporation, Founder and President, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Sullivan, stated, “We are in the process of rolling out a phased strategy that initially calls for Leading Points Corporation to work with key decision makers in the 14 U.S. States where the legislatures have approved the use of whole cannabis, the natural product, for medicinal use. Next, we will represent the company in respect to a number of federal initiatives and to insure that they are positioned to support the development of any federal programs through clinical studies, education and treatment. Our primary task is to raise awareness and educate state and federal agencies about Cannabis Science and how remarkably effective medicinal cannabis has proven to be in terms of chronic pain management for Veterans, as well as those suffering from PTSD and other severe medical conditions.”
Dr. Robert Melamede, Cannabis Science Inc. President and CEO, commented, “We are looking forward to working Leading Points to use our recently acquired CAGE Code for governmental contracts. Leading Points understands the tremendous potential for Cannabis Science’s extract-based medicines to help relieve the suffering of people, especially our military personnel. We will carry out clinical trials to demonstrate that the physical (chronic pain) and emotional conditions (PTSD) of those in need can be improved with our formulations. Those who have fought for freedom and have sacrificed so much to protect the freedoms that are the basis of our country have, more than anyone else, earned the right to the benefits provided by this plant. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years because of its unique ability to enhance the health promoting properties of the human endocannabinoid system. We believe that we are on the forefront of the medical cannabis revolution.”
Lt. Col. Sullivan added, “With the introduction in Congress of bills such as HR 2835, we see a new openness within the federal government to allow the limited and appropriate use of cannabis under a doctor’s supervision. We believe our veterans should have the maximum number of treatments available to them, especially with cannabis’ proven effectiveness in assisting veterans struggling with chronic and phantom limb pain, sleep disturbance, brain injuries, PTSD, anxiety and depression. As Cannabis Science continues to expand its Veterans PTSD Program aimed at gaining traction with those agencies that represent a military veteran demographic consisting of over 23 million Americans we see that as a major focal point to gain government support. Our company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado and please visit www.leadingpoints.com for more information about us.”
Dr. Melamede concluded, “With the addition of Leading Points to our team we expect some rapid advancement with our Veterans PTSD Program, which is designed to test the efficacy of our cannabis extract-based oral medicine to provide immediate relief of the negative consequences of PTSD in our military veterans. A critical first step will be carried out by Dr. Mitch Earleywine (State University of New York (SUNY Albany, SAB) the first member of the Cannabis Science Scientific Advisory Board. He will conduct a Veterans survey regarding the use of medical marijuana for PTSD. The results of this survey will provide us with human data that we expect will assist twofold in our efforts with the FDA and other governmental agencies to fast track our PTSD and our Flu project.”

Hy’bred International, Inc. (HYII.PK) is “One to Watch”
Hy’bred International, Inc. is a manufacturer of a therapeutic horseshoe. The Company focuses on creating and developing the Hybred Horseshoe, an aluminum horseshoe with a bonded urethane composition. Hybred International, Inc. has their corporate headquarters in Hackensack, New Jersey.
The Hy’bred horseshoe is an advanced Aluminum/Urethane horseshoe. It is light, durable, long lasting, and it reduces shock and concussion. In addition, the product improves traction, reduces injury, improves performance, and is suitable for partially lame or injured horses. The horseshoe is also easy to shape.
Hy’bred International, Inc. announced last December that mass production of the HYBRED horseshoe was underway. This was the result of three years of research and development work completed by the Company. Hybred came to market through an agreement with Thoro’bred, Inc., the world’s largest aluminum horseshoe manufacturer. Thoro’bred, Inc manufactures and markets the Hybred Horseshoe through their catalogue, tack shops, farrier and supply stores, and through marketing materials. They do this in the U.S. and internationally.
On June 16, 2009, Hy’bred International, Inc. announced that they entered into research and development to further extend their line of products for the safety and welfare of the equine industry. They are working on the development of a horseshoe that will find use for horses engaged in the sport of Polo.
“Horses require different shoes than those that are involved in racing or other activities. With maintenance costs in the United States alone topping $100 Million a year, and the lack of focus on this sector, we at Hy’bred International feel this is a niche market that can benefit from our technology,” stated Gary Kouletas.

ECOtality Inc.’s (ETLY.OB) eTec Awarded $8 Million from California Energy Commission
ECOtality Inc. is a young company that has quickly become a known leader in clean electric transportation and storage technologies. Today the company announced that its subsidiary Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec) has been awarded $8 million from the California Energy Commission to support the largest-ever transportation electrification project.
With this $8 million award, eTec will be able to support the deployment of charge infrastructure and electric vehicles (EV’s) in the San Diego region. This will serve as part of eTec’s “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Cost Share: Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.”
When asked about the ramifications to eTec, Don Karner who serves as the president of the subsidiary stated, “As eTec’s proposed project to the U.S. Department of Energy is anticipated to deploy up to 2,550 charging stations in the San Diego area, this additional funding from the California Energy Commission will allow for a substantial increase in the amount of charge infrastructure deployed in the region.” Karner also seemed very appreciate of the commission when he said, “We’d like to thank the California Energy Commission and the State of California for their support of the largest transportation electrification project ever and commend their strategic foresight in positioning California as a leader in electric transportation.”
The California Energy Commission awarded funds to projects that successfully received federal funds from the U.S. Department of Energy’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Transportation Electrification Funding Opportunity Announcement. On August 5, 2009 eTec was awarded a record $99.8 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to implement the largest deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure in U.S. history.
In the subsidiary’s proposed project to the U.S. Department of Energy, eTec has formed an alliance with Nissan North America to deploy as many as 5,000 Nissan LEAF EV’s and approximately 12,750 charging stations to be located in Arizona, California, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington. This plan will spread the notoriety of the company.
Jonathan Read who serves as President and CEO of ECOtality was quoted saying, “The California Energy Commission award affirms the position of the State of California at the forefront of the electric transportation evolution and ensures that the San Diego region will have one of the most advanced EV charging infrastructures in the world. As the eTec project undertakes to make America EV ready, stimulate job creation and enhance our energy independence, this additional funding will help us achieve these important objectives.”
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG& E), a regional partner of eTec, will play a vital role in numerous aspects of this project. When asked about the impact to their company, Debra L. Reed, President and CEO of San Diego Gas & Electric said, “As a strategic partner on the eTec project, we’d like to thank the California Energy Commission for its funding award to the transportation electrification project. With this award, we now have the resources available to make the San Diego region first in the nation when it comes to truly being plug-in ready for electric transportation.”
While there are many entities that will benefit from eTec’s award, there seems to be a consensus that ECOtality may end up becoming a major player on Wall Street. Currently, ECOtality is trading in the $0.12-13 range, but with this news and a strong and aggressive management team in place, ECOtality may be a sleeping giant that all investors dream of.

Data Call Technologies, Inc. (DCLT.OB) is Driving the Digital Signage Industry
Data Call Technologies Inc. is a leading provider of infotainment feeds for the digital signage industry. The company’s information feeds can be seen throughout digital signage networks in numerous venues such as shopping malls, highways, sports stadiums and arenas.
Plasma and LCD dynamic displays are rapidly replacing printed marketing materials such as signs, placards, etc. In the past two years, as the cost of platforms, supporting infrastructure and displays has fallen dramatically, digital signage has become more accessible to a wider range of companies. The increasing demand for digital signage is the most significant indication that the industry has come of age.
Digital signage presentations are typically comprised of repeating loops of information used to brand, market or sell a company’s products or services. But once seen, this information becomes repetitive and viewers will tune it out. This results in low retention of the client’s intended message. However, as the cost of deployment decreased, companies began focusing on attention-grabbing dynamic content.
This focus on “dynamic” content is where Data Call Technologies is different than many of their competitors. Even in the earliest stages of the industry, Data Call recognized that many of the players in the industry lacked a key component that would become an integral part of any successful implementation of digital signage – active content.
As the digital signage industry has matured, the “dynamic” characteristic of the presentation has taken center stage. A pioneering company like Data Call Technologies now has a clearer picture of what digital signage is, what is needed for a successful implementation and the best use of content space. Active, dynamic content is now on many companies’ “needs” list because it is proven to draw customers to the core message and keep customers engaged throughout the presentation. Data Call stands ready to serve this rapidly growing market.

Even in the earliest stages of the industry, Data Call recognized that many of the players in the industry lacked a key component that would become an integral part of any successful implementation of digital signage – active content.
As the digital signage industry has matured, the “dynamic” characteristic of the presentation has taken center stage. A pioneering company like Data Call Technologies now has a clearer picture of what digital signage is, what is needed for a successful implementation and the best use of content space. Active, dynamic content is now on many companies’ “needs” list because it is proven to draw customers to the core message and keep customers engaged throughout the presentation. Data Call stands ready to serve this rapidly growing market.

Evolution Petroleum Corp. (EPM) Readies for Revenue from Louisiana Project
In today’s economic times, finding a company that has kept at it and done well is the real challenge. For a savvy investor, finding a company that has got right down into the muck and mud and gotten it done is one of the best ways to succeed and profit. Finding these gems can be difficult, but very rewarding in the end.
Evolution Petroleum Corp., a petroleum and associated petroleum products exploration and development company, works to find and exploit petroleum deposits primarily in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Currently, the company estimates that it has over 4 million barrels of proven petroleum reserves in varying developmental forms.
Although the company classifies itself as a petroleum exploration and development company, its primary focus areas can be better described as CO2 injection, well re-development and shallow shale gas exploitation. Where the CO2 project is concerned, revenue from its 7.2% overriding royalty can be expected in 2010 after recent settlement of remediation issues. Currently, it would appear that the company is focusing its efforts on this CO2 project in Louisiana and expects revenue generation in 6 months. This, however, is just one area of progress as its moderately heavy oil development work in Texas does appear to be showing significant progress. In this regard, one should be aware that there are very few refineries in the world equipped to refine moderate to heavy crude. One of the largest does happen to be in the near vicinity of the company’s current moderately heavy crude location and finds its supplies coming from Venezuela, which would keep it in general operation (an issue not lost on drillers as a shutdown of a refinery is never a good thing.)
Having just reported third quarter in its 10-Q, the company indicates that it is in a financially strong position. Its working capital position has not changed in any real way with $7.5 million, as compared to $7.6 million in the year earlier period. Considering the changes in oil and gas prices during this same period, the company does seem to be able to justify its statements. Add to these price issues the company’s addition of a pipeline to its major CO2 project and a relatively increased price of crude oil in recent months and the future looks solid for the company. No long-term debt also adds to the equation as does a reduction in overall extraction costs. The current price of crude being what it is, Evolution Petroleum Corp. is in a solid position with a low cost structure. Crude pricing may be in a bit of flux at the moment but an investor that can pick and choose the right, well run petroleum company may be well on their way to profit.

Manas Petroleum Corp.’s (MNAP.OB) Tactical Strategy and International Portfolio
Manas Petroleum Corp., the Swiss-based international oil exploration and development company, stands out in its cost-sensitive approach to acquiring land positions in major oil basins around the world. The Manas strategy is to acquire and farm-out the holdings to partners, with those partners paying all costs until commercial production is undertaken. This approach allows Manas to retain substantial carried interests, maximizing potential growth while significantly reducing financial costs and risk. An additional element of the strategy is diversification, which further reduces risk.
One area of focus for the company is the exploration and development of giant hydrocarbon assets in the former Soviet Union or its satellites. Although Soviet exploration and development technologies were decades behind those of the West, their record keeping of geological results was excellent. These records indicate the existence of numerous and large un-drilled structures with potential oil. In areas where drilling did occur, such as the former Soviet Kyrgyz Republic, records show an obvious trend towards larger fields as depth increased, suggesting more large discoveries should occur as deep tests continue.
The Manas Petroleum portfolio now totals more than 5 million acres in 5 countries. In addition to the above areas, the company also has interests in Chile. Below is a list of its primary holdings.
• Kyrgyz Republic – This was the company’s first project, Central Asia’s only democracy and member of the World Trade Organization. Manas has acquired and farmed-out to Santos International Holdings Pty Ltd. 70% of its interest in 6 licenses, covering 3,152 square kilometers.
• Tajikistan – This project is adjacent to the Manas Tuzluk Prospect in the Kyrgyz Republic, and the geology is an extension of that license area.
• Albania – Manas has completed two production sharing contracts for four blocks covering roughly 3,000 square kilometers, about 80 kilometers north of Europe’s largest onshore oil field.
• Chile – Manas has a 50% interest in a consortium with Improved Petroleum Technology, a Texas based independent company, in the 6,600 square kilometer Tranquilo block in the Magallanes Basin in southern Chile.

Axial Vector Energy Corp. (AXVC.PK) Announces PETRO-AVEC’s Invitation to Petrochem Arabia Conference in Saudi Arabia
Axial Vector Energy Corp. announced today that PETRO-AVEC, its JV Company, has accepted an invitation to the Saudi Arabia “Petrochem Arabia” conference. Held October 4-6, the conference is under the Patronage of HRH Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Federation of GCC Chambers as well as other major local and international organizations fully support Petrochem Arabia 2009. This conference will bring government, Saudi and international private sector companies together to examine the current opportunities and challenges being faced in the Kingdom’s petrochemical industry. According to the press release, it is the only conference focusing on petrochemicals in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer with more than nine million barrels produced every day.
PETRO-AVEC officials plan to present the third party technical due diligence from two of the world’s largest oil producers. The results have confirmed the viability of removing sulphur from oil, allowing cleaner air and dramatic savings on both capital outlay and per barrel cost of processing.
Independent valuation models for royalty concessions to PETRO-AVEC range between $0.50 and $2.00 per barrel. With worldwide oil consumption now estimated at 85.8 million barrels per day and the amount of “sour” high sulphur oil rapidly increasing, the Oxidative Desulphurization and Heavy Crude upgrade technologies of PETRO-AVEC are even more valuable as no other solution currently exists.
“We have today begun the exposure worldwide to show the value of the technology now that our worldwide patents have been granted to most major oil producing markets,” stated Samuel Higgins, Chairman of AVEC and Managing Director of PETRO-AVEC.

eDOORWAYS Corp. (EDWY.PK) Announces 10K Audit is Ready for Filing
Today, eDOORWAYS Corp. announced that it is moving forward with the completion of its 2008 10K audit. The company has posted the 10K audit to the company’s new corporate website, www.edoorwayscorp.com, for review by the public.
“We have met our self-imposed deadline of completing the 10K audit by today and we determined it would be best to afford shareholders the ability to acknowledge this as we enter into the filing process,” stated Gary Kimmons, Chairman and CEO of eDOORWAYS Corp.
Normally, after a final draft of the 10K audit is submitted to the SEC, it undergoes a filing process that can take up to 72 hours to complete. This includes Edgarizing a 50 plus page document and one final review by auditors of the Edgarized version of the 10K audit before it’s filed. For smaller companies like eDOORWAYS, which strives to establish and secure shareholder confidence, these logistics aren’t usually understood by shareholders. In response, Mr. Kimmons believed it would be suitable to reveal completion of the 10K audit to the investment community ahead of the filing process.
“The company is marching toward an important day in the weeks to come and we’d like our house to be in absolute order for that moment,” commented Kimmons. “I cannot state enough that the work Mr. Dan Bensimon has conducted here is unquestionably top notch and greatly beneficial to the company and our shareholders regardless of the time it has taken. We are pleased that we have the ability to post the 10K audit today and look forward to an expeditious filing of this final draft. Should all things continue as well as they’ve been so far, the outstanding Q’s should be completed within short order and the company could see its soft launch date of October 1st, 2009, as being ‘current’ on its financials.”

Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (PLX) Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for prGCD
Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc., a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary recombinant therapeutic proteins, recently announced that the company has received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prGCD, the company’s proprietary plant-cell expressed recombinant form of glucocerebrosidase (GCD) for the treatment of Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is a rare and serious lysosomal storage disorder in humans with severe and debilitating symptoms. Protalix is currently conducting a Phase III pivotal study for prGCD to be used in enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease.
This Fast Track Designation allows Protalix to file the sections of the New Drug Application (NDA) as they become available instead of filing all the sections at once as well as enables the agency to commence its review and proceed on a rolling basis as the additional sections are completed and submitted for review. In addition, the company has initiated a treatment protocol that allows physicians to treat Gaucher disease patients with prGCD in the United States and other countries worldwide while the drug is still under investigation.

FNDS3000 Corp. announced today that it has successfully completed the Pilot Test Phase of its prepaid card introduction, and is subsequently immediately commencing the next phase of implementation. The Market Test Phase will begin with the distribution of approx. 10,000 prepaid cards to corporate clients and their cardholders, confirming and validating the processes and systems that will be required to handle the high volume of prepaid cards that are expected to be launched later in the year,. Once favorable results of the test are confirmed, the company anticipates initiating Roll-Out in late September of this year.
John Hancock, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are excited to announce a significant milestone with the completion of our pilot program. The January through July 2009 Pilot Test ended a few weeks later than expected, however during this time, we implemented further product enhancements, together with more comprehensive customer service operations and advanced fraud prevention protocols, all of which are essential in assuring the continued development and smooth roll-out of our prepaid cards.
“In the Market Test, scheduled through September 2009, our objective is to issue an additional 40,000 cards bringing our total to approximately 50,000 prepaid cards across 11 corporate clients,” commented Victoria Vaksman, Executive Vice President. “At the conclusion of this phase, we anticipate a rapid increase in scale, as we deliver our prepaid cards to the significant number of corporate clients that our distributors have already secured.
Mr. Hancock concluded, “As we progress through the remainder of 2009, we will continue to build on the solid foundation that has been created over the past two years. Our experienced management team is well positioned to steer the Company through the opportunities and challenges ahead of us and is focused on growing the prepaid card business which has significant potential in a number of markets that remain underdeveloped. We expect to continually update investors on our progress as we increase the number of cards in the market and expand the business into other territories.”

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) Benefits from Recent Achievements
Superlattice Power, Inc., developer of advanced high-energy batteries for use in electric cars and other demanding applications, is continuing its move toward the world’s most efficient lithium ion battery. The company recently announced that they were able to dramatically increase the driving range of an electric car, produced by EV Innovations Inc.
Using a multi-stage charging process, where the charging rate was able to follow a differential curve obtained through previous experiments, in conjunction with a new battery management system, researchers were able to increase EV driving range by at least 50%. The tests were done using a 29.6 Kwh lithium ion battery.
Superlattice plans to continue work with a next-generation battery pack, where the cathode material with superlattice structure will be used, and the expected specific capacity is 1.5 times compared to the cathode. The company’s goal is to develop and produce the most efficient rechargeable lithium ion battery commercially available for onboard energy storage in hybrid and electric vehicles. The technical success of the company is supported by its proprietary battery module design, sophisticated battery cell management systems, and battery thermal management system.
The Superlattice team is highly knowledgeable in lithium ion battery technology, and plans for producing the batteries are already being negotiated. The company is working with an unnamed Asian company to initiate pilot scale production near Superlattice headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina. As many as 100,000 battery cells could eventually be produced on an annual basis by the plant.
Significantly increasing EV driving range, without having to simply pile on more batteries and increase associated weight and cost, is seen as the key to the ultimate success of the growing EV industry. The new battery is being developed to give a reasonably sized electric car up to 200 miles on a single charge.

ATS Medical Inc. (ATSI) Awarded FDA-Approval for Cardiac Study of Aortic Valve Replacement
ATS Medical Inc. manufactures and markets advanced cardiac surgery products and services through its heart valve disease therapy and surgical ablation of cardiac arrhythmias segments. The company yesterday announced FDA-approval for a first-of-its-kind clinical study in which cardiac surgeons will implant ATS Medical’s ATS 3f® Aortic Bioprosthesis in patients under the age of 60, a population not yet studied in a controlled and scientific manner.
Astrid Berthe, vice president of Regulatory Affairs, said the FDA’s decision is a milestone that will raise the bar in aortic valve replacement.
“We are encouraged by the FDA approval to pursue this landmark opportunity in an approved post-market study with the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis in a younger patient population. We look forward to the outcomes that will demonstrate scientifically that the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprothesis is the highest performing tissue valve available to all patients in need of aortic valve replacement,” Berthe stated in the press release.
The ATS 3f® Aortic Bioprosthesis is designed to replace and function as a “native” aortic valve. The valve is tubular in design, allowing for flexibility when external pressure is applied, restoring blood flow and the natural stress distribution to the aortic root.
Targeting a younger and more active patient roster, ATS Medical anticipates the study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprostheis, ultimately providing the durability needed for patients to maintain their active lifestyles after heart surgery.
The company said it is now reviewing and discussing hospital discussion and will begin patient enrollment after it receives Institutional Review Board approval for each facility.

U.S. DOE Announces Recovery Act Funding for up to 2,800 Natural Gas Vehicles
Westport Innovations Inc., a global leader in alternative and low emission transportation technology, announced that the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Clean Cities” program has awarded the company with a grant of $300 million. This grant will help fund 25 cost-share projects across the United States, adding 9,000 alternative fuel and energy efficient vehicles and building 542 new refueling stations.
Based on this development, the company has received funding for the development of approximately 500 LNG trucks and 2,300 CNG vehicles. Westport anticipates that a significant portion of these vehicles will be sourced from various manufacturers and will utilize either Westport’s 15-litre GX engine or CWI’s 8.9 litre ISL G engine.
Michael Gallagher, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “This is a significant and decisive announcement for natural gas trucks and urban fleet vehicles. Given the vehicle applications of the projects awarded funding, we expect to benefit from the majority of funding through the sale of Westport HD systems and through the sale of Cummins Westport ISL G engines. “
Gallagher continued, “Given the current price gap between oil and natural gas, and the recent breakthroughs in natural gas shale resource development, the benefits have never been clearer. We congratulate the DOE Clean Cities program for their timely deployment of these stimulus projects that will inevitably lead to dramatic growth in the green energy industry.”
Westport cautions that no contracts have been awarded for the various programs their project encompasses, and no orders for vehicles have been released yet. While the exact timing of the funding awarded to applicants is unclear at this time, the company expects further updates from both customers and government agencies as contracting processes begin. Details of the projects approved for funding can be found on the DOE website at www.energy.gov/news2009/7843.htm

Economy’s Small Drop in Second Quarter Hints Recession is Ending
According to a report issued earlier this week, the economy shrank at an annual rate of just 1 percent in the second quarter. Despite marking a record fourth-consecutive quarterly decline, the smaller decrease provides further evidence that the recession is slowly coming to an end. In addition, smaller decreases in consumer spending were reported during the April-June period, leading some economists to raise their expectations for the third quarter.
Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight, stated, “The big surprise in this report was that there was enough spending in the consumer sector and elsewhere to offset all the loss from inventory reductions.”
Gault expects that the economy will gain momentum in the current and fourth quarters as businesses switch from reducing stock to rebuilding inventories, and he expects the GDP to increase more than 3 percent in the third quarter and remain in the 3 percent-range in the fourth quarter.
Despite predicted GDP growth in the current quarter, job losses still persist. Businesses will likely continue to keep tight control over labor costs until they see more evidence of the economy stabilizing. Economists believe that the unemployment rate will inch back up to 9.5 percent for August, with 220,000 more jobs lost, down slightly from 247,000 in July.

Ozone is designed to improve food safety standards both across the globe with a goal to help prevent contamination of fresh produce, seafood, poultry, meat and any other food products. With the unique Aquentium non-chemical process, the young company can extend shelf life of food produce which will equate to higher profits for processors and less waste for the consumer.
The brilliance of “Ozone” is that it is over 50% more effective than chemicals and over 3,000 times faster acting than chemicals. Ultimately, Aquentium believes they will produce better technology to combat such dangers as e-coli, salmonella, listeria and other bacteria or viruses.
Ozone, which was approved by the FDA as a food additive in 2001, is safer for workers because there are no chemicals to handle and is generated from oxygen making it non-toxic. With the Aquentium ozone equipment, a processor does not have to stop processing to do plant sanitation. This increases plant production. Furthermore, processors can expect a ROI in less than 12 months using the Aquentium equipment.
The company is led by Mark T. Taggatz who was appointed Chairman of the Board on April 2, 2002 and President and Chief Executive Officer on April 15, 2002. He assumed the duties of Secretary/Treasurer in May 2003. While only 44 years old, Taggatz is an aggressive leader of Aquentium and he is also the President of Wall Street Marketing Group, Inc., a public relations and sales and marketing company, and he has been with that company since 1997 which adds to his very impressive resume. Taggatz is a known name in the industry and guides a strong team at Aquentium.
Aquentium is quickly becoming known on Wall Street as not only an up-and-coming player in the financial world but also as a friend and ally of the environment. The company closed at only $0.11 yesterday, but if Taggatz and his team are successful, investors may one day wonder why they didn’t invest in this sleeping giant when they had the chance.

The Sun is Rising
Most people associate solar power with photovoltaic cells used to generate electricity, or perhaps solar water heaters, or even large solar power plants, where the heat of the sun is used to produce steam which runs turbines to produce electricity. It’s easy to forget that most other energy sources also trace back to the sun.
The simplest of fuels, wood, is produced when trees capture the sun’s energy to build the hydrocarbons necessary for growth. Fossil fuels come from buried organic matter produced ages ago from ancient plants that also depended upon the sun. Wind energy comes from the sun heating up the atmosphere creating convection currents. Hydropower comes from the sun’s energy evaporation of sea water, carrying it into the sky where it later falls as rain, generating power as it falls back to the sea. In fact, with the exception of nuclear power and geothermic power, all our energy comes from the sun. (Nuclear and geothermic power both come from the heat generated by disintegrating atoms.)
When people talk about solar power, they are usually focused on systems that directly convert the sun’s rays into energy, usually electricity. The modern solar power industry is built upon the attempts of scientists and engineers around the world to come up with ways to perform this conversion so efficiently that it can compete with fossil fuels, nature’s stored solar energy.
Today, the solar power industry, though still struggling to find the optimum combination of technologies, is represented by more money and larger installations than ever before. In California, one solar plant uses the most popular approach. Giant parabolic mirrors heat oil to over 700 degrees Fahrenheit. The oil is then used to vaporize water into steam that runs turbines, generating over 300 megawatts of electricity. Two other large plants, using the parabolic mirror approach, are currently being planned for Arizona, and a number of smaller plants are already running in the U.S., Spain, and a handful of other countries. A newer approach involves the use of large Fresnel lenses to focus the sun’s rays, heating water directly. The system is more durable and puts out more power per acre than oil based systems. A small plant using the technology has already opened in central California to power 3,500 homes. And, of course, photovoltaic modules are used in every part of the country to provide instant localized electricity.
The number of full size solar power plants is still relatively small, but every experimental step reduces the per unit energy cost, making the solar option increasingly competitive. The price per watt-peak (the standard unit of measure for the solar industry to measure the cost of installation relative to the power produced) has dropped dramatically in the last 25 years, from $27 in 1982 to only $4 today. However, solar electricity prices are still higher than standard grid electricity, depending upon the details of the installation. Government subsidy programs are available, but the goal has always been to make the industry free standing.
One of the major challenges is energy storage, since the sun doesn’t shine 24 hours a day. A worldwide grid isn’t currently feasible, and without a cost effective storage system, solar power can only do so much. There are a number of proposals, but the subject is still strongly debated. Only if that problem is solved can solar power be expected to someday provide a major share of the nation’s energy.
Nevertheless, solar power is seen as continually improving, with technical and cost issues gradually being resolved. That’s why it is now seen as an inevitable part of America’s energy future. In fact, it is estimated that, using certain proposed technologies for solar energy capture and storage, a combined area about the size of Vermont could fill all of America’s energy needs (including transportation using electric cars). The location of such generators would be in the desert Southwest, in places like Arizona and Nevada where cloudless skies allow the sun to blast tremendous amounts of energy to the surface, and would require high-energy transmission lines for distribution. However, it’s still well in the future.
But, if the number of existing solar power plants is small, the number of solar stocks is not. Below are just a few of the many publicly traded stocks directly involved with solar power.

Dreams, Inc. (DRJ) Reports Loss for Quarter
Dreams, Inc. (DRJ) reported a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.03) per share, for its second quarter ending 6/30/2009. The company reported a similar loss in the same quarter of 2008. Revenues in the quarter were $12.2 million, down 10% year over year.
Ross Tannenbaum, the CEO of Dreams, Inc. said, “We navigated our way through the turbulent first and second quarters with our business models and confidence intact, and no erosion of our margin. The additional challenge that the Company faced earlier this year was the forced liquidation of inventories by numerous retailers which mitigated our sales opportunities as we chose not to participate with that strategy.”
Dreams, Inc. is transitioning more of its sales from physical to online, and in the quarter had $6.7 million, or 55%, of its sales through the Internet.
Dreams, Inc. recently announced an alliance with JC Penney that allows the company to distribute its line of licensed sports memorabilia and apparel through the JC Penney web site. Dreams, Inc also announced a similar agreement with NCAA Football, which represents several college football associations.
Dreams, Inc. was founded in 1980, and is headquartered in Plantation, Florida.

Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc. (BMSN.OB) Secures Partnership to Address Canine Cancer; Ultimate Plans for Human Treatment
Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc., a biotech research and development company, recently made a joint announcement with its subsidiary Entest BioMedical Inc. (ENTB.OB), a testing center for various diseases, that they have reached a definitive agreement with Therinject LLC for the development of a immune-therapeutic cancer vaccine.
The companies will first focus on the veterinary market, treating animals with tumors. It’s a market that Bio-Matrix chairman and CEO David Koos says is a significant one. The company anticipates treating thousands of animals, generating millions in revenues.
“Cancer is the No. 1 cause of death among dogs. It’s estimated that one out of every three dogs will get cancer. We anticipate this immuno-therapeutic cancer vaccine could have an efficacy rate of as high as 60 percent where 15 percent to 20 percent is the current cure rate,” Koos stated in the press release. “We believe that during the first year this immuno-therapeutic vaccine is available we will treat roughly 2,000 animals resulting in $3,000 revenue per animal or $6 million in first year revenue from veterinary medical applications. The Company anticipates a market niche over the subsequent five years of 40,000 animals being treated. This is before we expand to human clinical trials.”
Bio-Matrix’s various storage facilities will be used for further research and development of immune-therapeutic treatments for cancer, with a long-term goal utilizing data and technology in support of human clinical trials.
Therinject’s Chief Scientific Officer Steven Josephs Ph.D. explained immune-therapy, expected efficacy rates, and the treatment’s affect on the body.
“For many cancers, efficacy rates should be much higher than currently available therapies. Immuno-therapy stimulates the body’s own immune system to engage in the treatment process. The development of an anti-cancer immune response would be very effective in dealing with metastatic tumors especially in cases where surgery would no longer be feasible.”
As per the agreement, Therinject will work collaboratively with Entest BioMedical’s team to develop intellectual property in this area of cancer treatment, with the ultimate goal of obtaining patents applied by Entest BioMedical’s.

DIAS Holding, Inc. (DSHL.OB) Sees Recovery in Revenues as Chinese Auto Market Experiences Growth
DIAS Holding Inc. services the multi-billion dollar industry of providing automotive, trucking, railway and petroleum industries with raw, finished and assembled components. One of the company’s major subsidiaries is Asia Forging Supply Company which manages outsourced procurement of finished and semi-finished components and sub-assemblies from China and elsewhere in Asia.
The company said today it expects to see an “inevitable recovery” in its world market revenues to near “pre-automotive market crash levels” as its last quarterly report has demonstrated a quarter on quarter improvement in total sales. DIAS Holding’s sales topped $14.4 million in 2008 before turmoil in the world automotive sector caused the company to experience what it now believes was a temporary slowdown in total revenues.
Another of the company’s subsidiaries, Detroit International Auto Salon, allows Asian companies to display capabilities and to quote manufacturing orders to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the US. The company anticipates the US government’s recently completed “Cash for Clunkers Program” has added new requirements for OEMs to restock to meet desirable inventory levels at dealerships in the US auto market.
Chairman and CEO of DIAS Holding, Eric Huang, stated, “We are seeing an influx of new companies with requests for quotes, which are quickly developing into expanded opportunities for DIAS Holding to meet the demand generated by what appears at this stage to be a rapid market recovery.” Mr. Huang went to say how opportunities are expanding for the company due to the ever increasing new capabilities being developed by the Asian auto supply manufacturing sector.
Mr. Huang also commented on the Chinese auto market, which this year has surpassed the United States in vehicle sales. He said, “With predicted annual sales for the Chinese automotive industry of $350 billion in the year 2015, DIAS is in an unparalleled position to facilitate business relationships which will strengthen our import/export opportunities to substantiate and provide support for what are increasingly demanding global automotive industry requirements.”

Another of the company’s subsidiaries, Detroit International Auto Salon, allows Asian companies to display capabilities and to quote manufacturing orders to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the US. The company anticipates the US government’s recently completed “Cash for Clunkers Program” has added new requirements for OEMs to restock to meet desirable inventory levels at dealerships in the US auto market.
Chairman and CEO of DIAS Holding, Eric Huang, stated, “We are seeing an influx of new companies with requests for quotes, which are quickly developing into expanded opportunities for DIAS Holding to meet the demand generated by what appears at this stage to be a rapid market recovery.” Mr. Huang went to say how opportunities are expanding for the company due to the ever increasing new capabilities being developed by the Asian auto supply manufacturing sector.
Mr. Huang also commented on the Chinese auto market, which this year has surpassed the United States in vehicle sales. He said, “With predicted annual sales for the Chinese automotive industry of $350 billion in the year 2015, DIAS is in an unparalleled position to facilitate business relationships which will strengthen our import/export opportunities to substantiate and provide support for what are increasingly demanding global automotive industry requirements.”

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (CSRH.OB) Filling Critical Processing Gap
Consorteum Holdings Inc., the growing payment transaction processing company, is unique in its ability to address a major unmet need in the multi-billion dollar financial processing industry.
The processing industry’s main function is to process credit, debit, and ATM transactions on behalf of merchants and financial institutions. As part of this, the major North American processors have the infrastructure and user database to offer additional products and services to their clients. However, they are not currently taking advantage of this ability. They are unwilling to research the many new solutions and products potentially available, including new card solutions and payment products (cell phone, RFID), all of which require their own infrastructure and management for successful global implementation.
Consorteum has dedicated itself to filling this gap. It has thoroughly researched this market, and has developed the necessary key relationships with service and product providers in order to unite them with suitable consumers and bring about innovative processing solutions.
Consorteum’s expertise in both the processing and card industries makes it possible for large initiatives to be deployed and managed to achieve successful outcomes, while growing each initiative to increase transaction volume and revenue. Their focus is primarily new transaction initiatives, including secure and guaranteed card programs. The company can act as the project manager during system implementation in order to ensure that the client and processor abide by the rules of the card industry, while meeting all future requirements.
Consorteum has also built strong relationships with critical product suppliers, allowing them to offer the best processing solutions. It has negotiated wholesale pricing for all card programs available for benefit, payroll, and check cashing, as well as various new and innovative transaction solutions. The company’s key processor relationships result in preferred transaction rates and merchant discount rates, which are passed on to clients.
Finally, all of these capabilities are sanctioned worldwide, meaning that Consorteum is very well positioned to offer all of its services on a global basis.

Somaxon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SOMX) Prepares for December Insomnia Decision from FDA, Trims Costs and Generates Capital
Working in the big leagues of the pharma world allows little room for error. Make a misstep and quite a bit of capital can be lost. Get the process right, however, and quite a bit of profit can be made. Starting out as a development stage company, in this regard, is never easy but if that first product can get to market, profit will flow for the investor that sticks with it from the beginning.
Somaxon Pharmaceuticals inc., a development stage biotechnology company, works to develop specialty pharmaceutical products directed at disease and psychological issues. It is, for the most part, an in-licensing company and is currently completing Phase III trials for an insomnia product.
Although the company has completed much of its Phase III testing for Silenor, its insomnia product, the FDA has been asking for additional efficacy information regarding elderly patients. The FDA, however, indicated to the company that it did not find any safety issues regarding the product. Its only interest for more information was in regards to one particular aspect of the products testing methodology. After resubmission (recently completed and acknowledged), the company expects a response from the FDA by mid-December 2009. Although the speculative nature of an FDA re-submission response is just that, speculative, it does seem that approval of the insomnia product is likely. With this in mind, the company has begun to move forward with additional funding and licensing sales. Potential customer base for the product is 70 million people in the US alone.
Being a developmental stage pharmaceutical company presents certain challenges. Among these issues are passing the first product introduction test with the FDA, potential licences and cost controls. The company does appear to have dealt well with the product introduction aspect, although the FDA will have final say. The company is dealing quite well with cost controls and the seeking of licences.
In the company’s second quarter overall costs have decreased substantially while revenue generation, from stock issuance, have increased markedly (approximately $6 million.) In a general sense, employee numbers have been reduced, compensation has been shifted to stock based programs, development costs have been reduced (past providing FDA information for resubmission) and licensing options have progressed. As Somaxon awaits FDA approval for its flagship product, the company appears ready to position itself for its next growth phase.
