China Integrated Energy, Inc., an industry leading, privately owned provider of petroleum and clean energy fuels in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) announced yesterday that the Company has signed a large new contract with one of its existing customers.
The contract, with an unspecified wholesale distributor located in the Sichuan Province (where refining capacity is limited), calls for delivery of 160k tons of petroleum products in 2010, a whopping 62k tons more than the previous year and representing an additional $52M in revenue.
This new contract clearly showcases CBEH’s skillful execution of its growth strategy in wholesale distribution, breaking new ground in existing territories in order to meet rising demand from its customer base.
Ideally situated in Xi’an City at the nexus of China’s oil market, CBEH is well-positioned geographically to handle the growing demands of Sichuan and other provinces in south-central and southeastern China, with direct access to railway service that makes delivering product fast and economical.
With soaring Chinese demand for a variety of petroleum products – most notably vehicle fuel – advancing at an annually compounded rate of 9.2% (for diesel) and 8.4% (for gasoline) from 2001 to 2008, CBEH is also well-positioned in terms of its core competencies to capitalize on the booming Chinese energy sector.
As one of only four non-state-owned distributors licensed to sell finished and heavy oil products in Shaanxi Province, CBEH is primed for massive future growth on the strength of its existing distribution network, which stretches out across 14 provinces and municipalities comprised of an estimated 640M people.
CEO of CBEH Mr. Gao Xincheng expressed his pleasure over the new contract and the “significant” additional revenue it entails, noting that in order to understand just how great the new contract is one must consider that “the increase is equal to the total amount of finished oil and heavy oil products” distributed by the company in 3Q 09.
Mr. Gao Xincheng acknowledged that wholesale distribution of petroleum products represented the Company’s largest business segment, and projected continued growth of this segment in 2010 via both new and existing clientele, citing a “diversified supply base, large storage capacity and proximity to rail transportation” as contributing factors to achieving growth projections as demand continues to rise.
Mr. Gao Xincheng explained that the Company was on schedule for meeting construction targets of the new 50k-ton biodiesel production plant, which he anticipated would be online by 3Q 2010.
Continuing to scout out “high traffic locations” to expand the existing portfolio of retail gas stations was also noted by Mr. Gao Xincheng as being crucial to increasing sales and overall profitability of distribution infrastructure, as CBEH continues to push ever forward towards new heights as a leader in China’s integrated energy industry.

VoiceServe, Inc. (VSRV.OB) Awarded Best of Show at ITEXPO East 2010
VoiceServe, Inc., the London-based developer of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Softswitch (software-based call connection) platform solutions and service provider, announced formally today that during last week’s TMC’s ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami the Company received the coveted “Best of Show” award for “Best Service Provider Solution”.
The ITEXPO is a major event for IP-based communications technology companies, and approximately 100 were on hand to exhibit their products this year when VSRV unveiled the new Vippie for Blackberry, a Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP software phone that lets users make calls over their Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE connection. Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, is a signaling protocol used to control multimedia communication sessions.
The Vippie was designed for tight integration with VSRV’s VoipSwitch Softswitch platform. The VoipSwitch blackberry license works with any third party SIP-compliant platform. Availability will begin in February 2010.
CEO of VSRV Michael Bibelman was proud of the prestigious award and of the ability to boast that VSRV is “one of the first companies to provide a VoIP solution for the Blackberry”, noting that this latest development represents a very dynamic phase for the Company in terms of growth that will, no doubt, translate into substantial future revenues.
Bibelman also noted that this “Blackberry SIP phone module completes VoipSwitch’s full range of modules”, due to the fact that VSRV already has SIP clients for all the other significant mobile platforms.
CEO and group editor-in-chief of TMC Rich Tehrani explained that the Best of Show Awards recognized the cream of the crop and served to draw attention to the most innovative and technologically advanced offering featured in the Exhibit Hall.
Tehrani boasted about the success of the ITEXPO, pointing out record traffic and the sheer volume of exciting news from the various exhibitors, as well as the overall quality of the show, due in large part to the efforts of the best-of-show winners.
Tehrani complimented all of the participating companies for helping to make this ITEXPO the “best show ever” and expressed his pride in honoring VSRV and their outstanding products.

Balqon Corp. (BLQN.OB) Successfully Completes Cold Weather Testing on Battery Powered Electric Tractor
One company that is starting to leave its mark on the market is the Balqon Corporation. Located in California, Balqon has grown into a leading developer of heavy duty electric trucks, tractors, and electric drive systems. Today, the young company announced that they have successfully completed cold weather testing on its lithium-ion battery powered electric tractor, the Nautilus XE20.
The Nautilus XE20 is a state-of-the-art electric tractor that is designed for off-highway container or semi-trailer “spotting” applications. The unique vehicle is designed to travel at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour and capable of towing loads of up to 40 tons.
When asked about the successful completion of the Nautilus XU20, Balwinder Samra who serves as the Balqon’s President and CEO was quoted as saying, “Our demonstration of the performance of the Nautilus XE20 in actual warehouse applications at temperatures below 10°F under loads exceeding 25 tons validates our belief that the durability, range and performance of our heavy-duty electric vehicles would not be diminished due to the effects of cold weather. We believe that the four weeks of successful testing validates the Nautilus XE20 as a viable alternative to diesel fuel powered vehicles in cold weather conditions. Based upon the fuel cost data we recorded, we also believe that Balqon’s heavy-duty electric vehicles will provide significant fuel cost savings as compared to diesel fuel powered heavy-duty vehicles that must remain idle all day in cold weather conditions to prevent fuel line freeze-up.”
The Nautilus XE20 has been designed, integrated, and built in cooperation with Autocar Truck and their Xspotter yard tractor team. Headquartered in Indiana, Autocar is an assembly sales and service company with their mission placed on severe service heavy duty trucks. When asked about Autocar’s role with the Nautilus XE20, Eric Schwartz who serves as their Vice President of Specialty Vehicle Business stated, “Supported by Autocar locations coast to coast in US and Canada, we believe that the Nautilus XE20 is truly a commercially viable zero emissions alternative to traditional diesel powered yard tractors currently in use in warehouse distribution centers, marine terminals, intermodal facilities, industrial plants and railyards.”
Balqon and Autocar appear to be a winning pair and there is no question that Balqon is a company on the move. Currently, Balqon is trading in the $0.85 range and appears to have a great deal of promise.

QuantRx Biomedical Corp. (QTXB.OB) to Acquire NuRx Pharmaceuticals (NUXP.OB)
QuantRX Biomedical Corp. today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire NuRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCBB: NUXP). The transaction is structured as a tax-free, all stock acquisition resulting in a combined company with no debt and a simplified ownership and capital structure.
The agreement for QuantRx to acquire NuRx follows a joint venture between the companies announced in July 2009. The QN Diagnostics joint venture between the two firms leverages 30 years of diagnostic healthcare research and development expertise. The joint venture has been focused on accelerating the commercialization of diagnostic products utilizing QuantRx’s RapidSense rapid diagnostics technology.
Among the initial products projected to be launched in 2010 is a new line of hypersensitive clinical laboratory improvement amendments (CLIA) waived quantitative point-of-care lateral flow diagnostic devices. These devices have reliable and repeatable sensitivity in the low picograms per milliliter needed to provide laboratory level results to the point-of-care market. This unique platform technology enables the use of any biological sample such as blood, urine or saliva to deliver laboratory results to the primary care provider in minutes.
Through this joint venture, both companies gained a greater appreciation of the point-of-care market and realized that a merger made sense. Both companies believe the merger will not only leave them stronger financially, but will enable them to more aggressively expand their efforts to capitalize on opportunities for their patented diagnostic products in the rapidly growing market for point-of-care diagnostic products.

Eastman Kodak Co. (EK) Posts Better than Expected Results
Rapid changes in technology can be a death bell for established product brands. Not recognizing these changes and adapting to them is the nail in the coffin. There are certain brands, however, that are strong enough to cheat death if a solid reorientation is made quickly and effectively. In this sense, recognizing the brand and its opportunity can be just as an effective investing option as any other, especially when a stock price is beaten down for some time but refuses to die.
Eastman Kodak Co., an imaging technology products manufacturer and service company, manufactures imaging products for the consumer and commercial marketplace. The company recently posted higher than expected returns after a long restructuring and realignment process.
Several years ago it would have been safe to say that Eastman Kodak dropped the ball as digital cameras and cell phones entered the marketplace. Today, however, it would also be safe to say that the company has regained its footing albeit in a slightly differing digital orientation. Thursday’s reported revenue topped estimates as the company appears to have completed a reorientation focused on new digital printing and services technology.
The company does seem to have made the transition and is once again moving forward. On a year over year first quarter basis the company posted a $443 million profit verses an over $900 million loss for the same quarter. Digital business for the quarter was up 12% while the most associated film business was down 10%. One, however, cannot discount the company’s service business where an increasing commercial presence is developing along with commercial inkjet sales. Overall, Eastman Kodak’s long reorientation process looks to be generating results and may be a solid dividend play. Generally, this would be in the future as it really begins to pick up speed and recognition as a leading brand in the market place. One would not suggest that this will happen overnight but it does look to be a solid possibility going forward.

Energtek, Inc. (EGTK.PK) – Unlocking The Future Of Natural Gas
Energtek, Inc., a world leader in the development and commercialization of ANG (Adsorbed Natural Gas) technology, sees itself as realizing the full potential of natural gas, which they consider to be the most practical alternative to oil-derived fuel. Through the use of their advanced ANG technology, natural gas can be stored under lower pressures, providing a number of valuable options to users.
For example, storing the same amount of natural gas in the same volume, but with lower pressure, increases the possible applications of natural gas. Low pressure storage tanks and fueling systems are simpler and less expensive. This makes it feasible for millions of the world’s smallest vehicles, such as the three-wheeled motorized bikes so common in Asia, to run on natural gas, which is far cleaner and cheaper than oil. On the other hand, existing high-pressure equipment and storage is made more efficient with ANG technology, since it allows more natural gas to be stored in the same volume.
Increasing the efficiency of natural gas storage with ANG technology also means that it becomes easier and cheaper to transport natural gas, especially in places where no gas pipeline or compressing infrastructure exists. As global markets seek to diversify their energy sources, this offers countries in Asia and elsewhere new possibilities regarding the resources they can consider and where they can be delivered.
By making natural gas more transportable and usable, Energtek enhances the already significant benefits of natural gas. Not only is natural gas less expensive than oil in most countries, it is the world’s cleanest fossil fuel, greatly reducing greenhouse emissions. It is also a resource that is more evenly distributed throughout the world than oil, making it a viable option to more countries.
Energtek sees ANG technology as a key to unlocking these benefits for Asia and much of the world.

International Speedway Corp. (ISCB.OB) Keeps Optimistic Edge despite Dismal Q4 and FY Figures
International Speedway Corp. yesterday posted its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. Despite a rough year impacted by the recession, CEO Lesa France Kennedy said the company anticipates a stronger 2010.
“We are excited about the upcoming 2010 motorsports season, despite the economic issues we still face which had a definite effect on our revenue last year,” Kennedy stated in the press release. “We are optimistic that the economic recovery underway will continue to strengthen and we will begin to see positive changes in consumer and corporate spending. Benefiting our Company is the fact that we remain in excellent financial shape highlighted by significant contracted revenue from media income and a solid balance sheet.”
The company reported total revenues for the fourth quarter decreased to $201.8 million, compared to revenues of $205.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008; operating income was $50.5 million during the period compared to $64.9 million in the fourth quarter the year prior; net income for the fourth quarter was $9.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $33.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, the same quarter the year prior.
For the full-year ended November 30, 2009, International Speedway posted total revenues of $693.2 million, down from $787.3 million in 2008; operating income for the year was $147.8 million, as compared to $235.8 million the 12 months prior; net income for the year was $6.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $134.6 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, in 2008.
Kennedy said the company will aim at fan satisfaction and lowering ticket costs for the upcoming race season.
“As we move into the new season, our primary focus is on ensuring that the millions of fans who attend our events receive great entertainment value coupled with an unforgettable at-track experience. To make attending our events even more affordable, we have taken the ticket pricing strategy so successful last year and expanded it to encompass value pricing on over 500,000 NASCAR Sprint Cup tickets. We remain encouraged by the recent signs of increased ticket buying volume for the DAYTONA 500 versus last year.”

KEMET Corporation (KEME.OB) Posts Preliminary Fiscal Q3 10 Results, Marking $200M in Quarterly Sales
Electronics component manufacturer KEMET Corp. today reported preliminary results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009, posting improvements across the board over third fiscal quarter 2009.
The company reported a 4.8-percent increase in net sales for the quarter to $199.9 million as compared to the third quarter a year earlier, representing a 15.3 percent increase over the second-quarter ended September 30, 2009.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, net loss was $1.8 million, or $(0.02) per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, as compared to net loss of $13.1 million, or $(0.16) per share, for the same period the year prior, and compared to net loss of $93.1 million, or $(1.15) per share, for the prior fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
According to the release, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the current fiscal quarter compared to an adjusted net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.05) per share, for the same quarter last year.
The company posted impressive sales for the third quarter, leveraged by careful planning and execution of strategy during the recession.
“Reaching $200 million in sales this quarter surpasses our revenue level one year ago in the fourth calendar quarter of 2009 at the beginning of the world-wide recession. Although revenue is up approximately 5 percent year-over-year, our Adjusted EBITDA improved approximately 140 percent. Margins continue to benefit from the actions we took over the last 15 to 18 months, resulting in a consolidated gross margin percent that exceeds consolidated margins for the last eight quarters,” Per Loof, Kemet’s CEO stated in the press release. “We will continue to stay focused on driving increased profitability and working capital management as we navigate through the economic recovery. Order rates remain strong and we are continuing to bring back capacity to meet market demands and service our customers.”

Order rates remain strong and we are continuing to bring back capacity to meet market demands and service our customers.”

Callon Petroleum Inc. (CPE) Stockholders Vote to Increase Number of Shares for Expansion
The oil and natural gas exploration and development game is nothing short of a roll of the dice from a company point of view. One can use all the technology in the world to find it and get it out of the ground but end up with a market price barely worth the effort. On the other end of the spectrum, one may get the product out of the ground as market conditions become exceedingly favorable. This is just the nature of the exploration process for a commodity. Presently, oil and natural gas are in favor. A company that can find and exploit these commodities cost effectively is one to take a look at.
Callon Petroleum Inc., an oil and natural gas exploration and development company, works to discover, develop and exploit natural gas and oil deposits primarily in the Gulf Coast states of the United States. The company also operates off-shore in the same general region.
As of the start 2009, the company estimates that it has proven reserves of 54 billion equivalent cubic feet of natural gas and 6 million barrels of oil. Perhaps the company’s largest asset, however, is its lease acreage that totals an approximate 193,000 acres in known production areas. It is this aspect of the company that offers a certain amount of interest for the investor. The company has established a base and estimated revenue stream of $24 million for the first quarter, but appears to be looking further ahead as it acquires additional leases. It has also developed an international investor base that seems agreeable to the company’s development strategy.
Although the company has its share of issues regarding the closure of a failed drill site, it has managed to increase third quarter 2009 production by 6%. As production is the company’s revenue source, dependent upon price for natural gas and oil, this bodes well. As it appears that a cold winter and a rising price for oil will continue for the relatively long-term, the company seems to be well positioned to capitalize. It has a solid investment backing, potential drilling and exploration opportunities and an energy market that looks to be on the upswing. If Callon Petroleum Co. can keep its development progress moving, it should be a solid opportunity to investigate.

Toyota (TM) Steps On The Gas With Recall While Share Price Brakes
Toyota Motor Corp. accelerated its massive recall of cars over fears of potentially malfunctioning gas pedals as shares continued to decelerate, tumbling from their high of $91.78 to under $79 in a little over a week.
The recall has now been expanded to include an additional 1.09 million vehicles in the U.S. (the 2008-2010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Venza, 2009-2010 Matrix, and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe). Already targeted cars include the 2009-2010 RAV4, 2005-1010 Avalon, certain 2007-2010 Camry, 2007-2010 Tundra, and 2008-2010 Sequoia.
All of this comes on the heels of Toyota’s announcement of a huge sales and production suspension of affected cars, and its original 2.3 million car recall. Production has been affected in several U.S. plants, and Toyota has informed Chinese authorities that it will start a recall of some 75,000 RAV4 sport utility vehicles made in China between March of 2009 and January of 2010. Toyota has not said whether cars in Europe will also eventually face recalls, but the same parts causing concern in the U.S. are in those cars.
Earlier, in November 2009, Toyota had recalled 4.2 million vehicles over concerns that floor mats might be creeping up on gas pedals causing unwanted acceleration. But the focus of the current recall includes the gas pedal itself, pedals that were manufactured by CTS Corp. in Elkhart, Indiana. It should be noted that, as early as 2007, Toyota had been getting reports of gas pedals being slow to rise after being pressed in some models.
Toyota says that actual cases of uncontrolled acceleration are rare, but is obviously concerned that its famed reputation for quality is at risk. In addition, it could affect the company’s earnings, which were just turning black after three quarters in the red.
Meanwhile, CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), maker of the suspect pedals, began circling the wagons, issuing a press release echoing what Toyota said about the rarity of the problem, and emphasizing that the pedals were manufactured according to Toyota’s own specifications:
“As has been publically stated by Toyota, we have no knowledge of any accidents or injuries that have resulted from this rare potential condition. Based on information that Toyota has provided us, we are aware of fewer than a dozen instances where this condition has occurred, and in no instance did the accelerator actually become stuck in a partially depressed condition.”
“As Toyota stated, this recall is different from and unrelated to the ‘sudden, unintended acceleration issue’ which was the subject of the November 2009 Toyota recall. In the November recall, the pedals in Toyota models dated back to model year 2002. CTS became a pedal supplier in 2005. Accordingly, our products are not implicated by the November 2009 recall. The products we supply to Toyota, including the pedals covered by the recent recall, have been manufactured to Toyota’s design specifications.”
CTS then went on to say that Toyota only represents about 3% of their total sales, and that a newly designed pedal is now being shipped to some Toyota factories.

Clenergen Corp. (CRGE.OB) and Philippines-based National Power Corp. Sign MOA to Develop Green Energy
Clenergen Corporation announced today that it has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with National Power Corporation (NPC) whereby a collaborative effort will ensue for the production of ‘green’ energy based on biomass power plants for NPC’s Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG), which handles plants in the 0.5-2MW range.
Clenergen CEO Mark LM Quinn and NPC President Froilan A. Tampinco disclosed, in a special joint announcement, that feasibility studies would commence in areas NPC has determined to be the best potential sites for utilizing Clenergen’s technology. The sites selected by NPC for development of this initiative are Apayao, Banton, Concepcion, Corcuera, Kabugao, Kalinga, Lubuagan, and Romblon.
National Power Corporation, a state-owned power company operating in the Philippines, was mandated into existence for the development of off-grid, innovative power systems suitable for the many islands that make up the region’s geography.
The publicly held Clenergen is known in the booming ‘green’ energy sector for its incredible proprietary technologies, such as the development of non-food biomass crops through judiciously applied plant science techniques and biotechnology, as well as revolutionary gasification technology.
The capacity to produce short-rotation, high-yield biomass on a commercial scale, and the subsequent utilization of technologies like gasification, combustion steam and anaerobic digestion, collectively make Clenergen a powerhouse when it comes to developing innovative ‘green’ energy solutions for independent clients as well as regional and national grids.
Quinn affirmed Clenergen’s dedication to the task of installing Distributed Environmental Power Systems (DEPS) in the Philippines, where these biomass plants – ranging from 0.5-8MW in size – will provide much needed, highly localized and sustainable energy solutions for the region. They will also be located in areas “suitable to cultivate dedicated biomass feedstocks”. The secondary benefit, of demonstrating the entire system (from biomass production to gasification) as a renewable energy solution to the Asia Pacific basin community, will also be achieved, no doubt prompting others to pursue Clenergen for similar projects.
Tampinco expressed how encouraging this agreement with Clenergen was for NPC, and said he looked forward to “the MOA’s immediate implementation as we promote and encourage the use of renewable energy that abounds in our countryside”.
Tampinco views the relationship as a “clear indication” of global support for a call by NPC to create “strong partnerships” in alternative energy for the Philippine’s small island electrification program.

Epic Corp. (EPOR.PK) Forms Strategic Relationship with Senior Care Holdings, Inc., Reveals 2010 Growth Initiatives
Epic Corp. has evolved over the years from its humble start as a semi-conductor company to become the unique healthcare financial services holding operation that it is today.
Epic determines its worth through the growth of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and operates under the sound philosophy that by providing opportunities for investment to healthcare companies, it grows not only its network of value but the industry as a whole.
Forming and financing development stage public companies (DSPC’s) in the healthcare sector, including real estate investment trusts which facilitate said companies, are essential to Epic’s growth strategy, which capitalizes on such growth by developing strategic third-party relationships and publicly trading the DSPC’s securities.
After eight years of looking for the perfect strategic relationship, Epic found Senior Care Holdings, Inc., which thrives in the growing senior sector of the healthcare industry, where the appropriate concerns of both companies synergize around independent and assisted living initiatives, as well as skilled nursing infrastructure.
This relationship with Senior Care gives Epic a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor with a company that is anticipated to move from virtually nil revenues to tens of millions of profits within a short time.
A recent update to shareholders by Epic CEO Ronald S. Tucker detailed activities for the fiscal quarter ending Dec. 31, 09, including the entry into a consulting agreement with Senior Care and the formation of Senior Care Communities Trust, Inc. (the Trust), as well as the acquisition of a 50% interest in a healthcare operating and service holding company.
Tucker talked about the consulting agreement with Senior Care and the “cash flow” it has produced, saying that the “joint venture assures EPIC a profit of $2M as of June 30, 2010, of which $1M is attributable as of Dec 31, 2009”, and noted that he saw “tremendous growth” potential through this joint venture with Senior Care.
Tucker also went over the fundamentals, pointing out that the 65-to-84 age group is outpacing all others in the U.S. Tucker further pointed out that this surge in demand hypertrophied the “dramatic lack of age-specific housing”, sending shockwaves of concern throughout the industry.
To understand just how big the potential market is and how much growth potential exists for relevant services and facilities, Tucker noted that “10 of Senior Care’s facilities had net revenues of $71,950,000 and net profit of $4,550,000 for the 12 months ending June 30, 2009.”
Tucker suggested that Epic was “uniquely positioned” to not only profit from Senior Care’s operations, but also to help them grow and expand operations via the Trust.
Epic will complete its audit in the second quarter in order to “blue sky” (a law designed to protect the public from buying fraudulent securities) the common stock. The Company will also begin taking up interests in Senior Care-operated facilities for Epic subsidiary RX Healthcare and qualifying the Trust Offering Statement with the SEC.

Pacific Bepure Industry Inc. (PBEP.OB) Expects to Post 25% Hike in FY 2009 Sales
Despite a slow first-half in 2009, Pacific Bepure Industry Inc., one of China’s leading footwear companies, yesterday announced a spike in domestic footwear sales that contributed to a 25 percent increase in full-year sales.
The company’s four lines of Travel Time casual and sports shoes are popular among young women in smaller cities in China. Pacific Bepure manufactures the footwear and sells them in 22 provinces through retail stores and various other outlets, including the Internet and a distributor in South America.
Pacific Bepure said it was able to balance sales by maintaining cost control, generating increases in margins for the second-half of the year. The company also attributes the pick-up in sales to “particularly good response” to its Traveling Series and Business Series lines of shoes.
Additionally, profitable export sales to South America accounted for about 20 percent of sales for the full year. The company plans on expanding its factory space, which is expected to boost production and lower costs.

The company’s four lines of Travel Time casual and sports shoes are popular among young women in smaller cities in China. Pacific Bepure manufactures the footwear and sells them in 22 provinces through retail stores and various other outlets, including the Internet and a distributor in South America.
Pacific Bepure said it was able to balance sales by maintaining cost control, generating increases in margins for the second-half of the year. The company also attributes the pick-up in sales to “particularly good response” to its Traveling Series and Business Series lines of shoes.
Additionally, profitable export sales to South America accounted for about 20 percent of sales for the full year. The company plans on expanding its factory space, which is expected to boost production and lower costs.

Miller Petroleum (MILL) Announces Six Million in Equity Investment
Miller Petroleum closed on a $6 million equity investment from an unnamed third party. The funds will be used for capital expenditures related to a recent acquisition by the company.
In December 2009, Miller Petroleum purchased the oil and gas operations of Pacific Energy Resources, a company that was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The company did not disclose a price.
Pacific Energy Resources had proved reserves of 5.6 million barrels of oil and 3.7 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas located in Alaska. The discounted net present value of the reserves as calculated under SEC regulations is $325 million.
“We are already ahead of schedule producing oil in Alaska and this equity investment provides us the funding necessary to meet our production goals of over 1,100 barrels per day of oil by the fourth quarter of 2010 which should generate more than $30 million annually in gross revenue,” said Scott M. Boruff, the CEO of Miller Petroleum.
Miller Petroleum also received production facilities, an offshore platform and 600,000 net acres for future exploration in the acquisition. This was the second recent purchase for Miller Petroleum.
In early 2009, the company purchased Tennessee Consultants, Inc. The company’s assets included 377 wells, and 5,000 net acres under lease that are prospective for the Chattanooga Shale.

Yesterday, IR Biosciences Holdings’ wholly owned subsidiary, ImmuneRegen BioSciences Inc., announced the execution of an agreement with the National Institute of Health to commence studies utilizing the company’s Homspera. As per the agreement, the NIH will perform exploratory studies on Homspera relating to mucosal immunity that could possibly lead to evaluation in models of HIV infection.
Recent studies have shown Homspera to enhance the efficacy of a novel cancer vaccine. Previous studies have yielded the same results related to infectious disease vaccines, specifically influenza. The studies to be performed at NIH will expand on the previous research and will further define the mechanisms that make Homspera an effective vaccine adjuvant.
The research will be directed by Jay A. Berzofsky, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of the Vaccine Branch at the Center for Cancer Research within the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Berzofsky is the past President of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; additionally, he most recently won the NIH Director’s Award and NCI Merit Award in 2008.

SkyPostal Networks, Inc. (SKPN.OB) Awarded Mail Delivery Contract into Latin America
SkyPostal Networks, Inc. is a young company that has earned a stellar reputation as a top-flight international wholesale mail distribution entity that specializes in the hand delivery of commercial mail, periodicals and parcel post into the Latin Caribbean region. Today, SkyPostal announced it has been awarded a major mail delivery contract into Latin America by the French National Postal Service La Poste.
This contract with La Poste is valued at $2 million and will allow SkyPostal to deliver mail originated from France, the United Kingdom and La Poste’s Office of Exchange in the US to Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC), continuing the rich history of this young and up-and-coming company.
In 2004, SkyPostal identified the need of the European National Postal operators to improve their mail delivery service into the LAC when the EU mandated postal liberation in Europe. At this time the Universal Postal Union’s network in the region offered no integrated technology and could not meet the service and pricing needs demanded by a competitive cross border postal market.
Seeing a need in the marketplace, SkyPostal organized the largest private postal services in each country into a regional mail delivery network connected by its PosTrac mail tracking system and today delivers mail for several European posts and for European and US mail consolidators.
Today, SkyPostal has evolved into a recognized company and delivers more than 60 million mail items each month. The contract with La Poste will allow the SkyPostal to expand even further and provide valuable capital for the company’s future endeavors.
Currently, SkyPostal is trading in the $0.07 range. With a grip on the commercial mailing sector in Latin American and the Caribbean and a high-level of efficiency, SkyPostal is growing into a company that will impress prudent investors on Wall Street.

GC China Turbine Corp. (GCHT.OB) Teams with Shenzhen Guohan Investment Group to Develop New Wind Farm
GC China Turbine Corp., China-based producer of advanced dual-blade wind turbines, revealed today that the Company has entered into a cooperation agreement with Shenzhen Guohan Investment Group to develop a new wind farm utilizing the company’s proprietary technology in Liaoning Province, China.
The agreement to develop wind power for the Chaoyang People’s Government in Liaoning Province was signed on Nov. 09, 2009, detailing the production of a facility to assemble wind turbines and do research and development in Chaoyang’s attached city, Jianping, as well as an allocation of no less than 300MW of wind farm resources to GCHT by the local government.
With the initial 50MW project slated to begin this year, the project is still in the approval stage for now, but when it is completed the projected value of orders should be more than $34.4M (235M Yuan).
Due to China’s official mandate of 5% of total energy generation from renewable sources by 2015, generators of electrical power in China are under pressure from the government’s quota system. The quota system allocates a fixed percentage of the goal to utilities throughout China, leading to increased demand and the formation of multiple strategic alliances throughout the growing wind power sector.
The “Wind Resource Model” is a commonly accepted marketing practice that has breathed life into the Chinese wind power sector, whereby wind turbine producers secure rights to wind farm projects and then transfer management to utilities that offer guarantees on purchases of turbines to equip the facility in exchange for certain rights.
GC China holds rights to innovative new technology for wind turbines developed via a 10-year European research project with a $75M budget; has a 1MW launch project with 2.5-3MW utility scale turbines under development; and has been awarded some $135M in contracts to date.
GC China’s management, finances and business can be reviewed via the SEC’s EDGAR database, thanks to the policy of continuous public disclosure adopted by the company as an issuer under the SEC Act of 1934.

Dynavax Technologies Corp. (DVAX) is “One to Watch”
Dynavax Technologies Corp. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering and developing novel products to prevent and treat infectious diseases. They discover and develop a pipeline of Toll-like Receptor (TLR) product candidates. The Company’s clinical-stage product candidates include Phase 3 HEPLISAV ™ Hepatitis B Vaccine, Phase 1 Hepatitis C Therapy, and Phase 1 Hepatitis B Therapy. Dynavax Technologies Corporation trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Company’s lead product candidate HEPLISAV™ is a Phase 3 investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine designed to provide more rapid and increased protection with fewer doses than current licensed vaccines. Their global strategy is to develop HEPLISAV for populations that are less responsive to current licensed vaccines. This includes adults over 40 years of age, individuals with chronic kidney disease, and others.
The Company’s product candidates also include Universal Flu vaccine, a preclinical vaccine under a supply and option agreement with Novartis; AZD1419, a preclinical asthma therapy partnered with AstraZeneca AB; and DV1079, a preclinical autoimmune and inflammatory disease therapy partnered with GlaxoSmithKline. In addition, the Company’s European subsidiary, Rhein Biotech, manufactures hepatitis B surface antigen for HEPLISAV. Rhein Biotech also provides integrated product development services to enable their partners to bring products to market.
In January 2010, Dynavax Technologies Corporation completed the acquisition of Symphony Dynamo Inc. (SDI) from Symphony Dynamo Holdings LLC. Because of the acquisition, SDI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynavax Technologies.
Yesterday, Dynavax Technologies Corp. reported that their experimental treatment for chronic hepatitis C infection was safe and induced anti-viral activity in patients in an early-stage trial. The Company is currently in early talks with potential marketing partners who can help them develop the drug. The Company’s hepatitis C therapy, SD-101, is designed to be used in combination with oral antivirals, including standard-of-care and emerging therapies, to stop replication of hepatitis C virus and induce a long-lasting immune response.

Ready Mix Inc. (RMX) Works to Position Itself for a South-Western US Rebound
Risk is all part of the equation when it comes to investing. If a particular sector or company appears to be at a low, there may well be opportunity for long-term profit if that sector turns around. The prospect of a loss is always there but so is the prospect of a very large profit. In a general way, this perspective all depends upon one’s tolerance for risk and reward.
Ready Mix Inc., a manufacturer, distributor and installer of readymade concrete, works to mine and mix concrete for the full spectrum of construction opportunities. The company works primarily in the south- western United States.
Although one might suspect economic conditions would diminish economic value of a construction materials company (and they would likely be correct), they would also be missing investment opportunity. As infrastructure spending and a return to building occurs, these types of companies will be a solid opportunity.
Ready Mix concrete, a trade associated name, is one such company that may benefit in this regard. Its solidly vertical production structure and reasonable price seems to make it ripe for long-term investment. Stock price may be at a bargain level with those that invest in the southwest development process likely to benefit. In this regard, one might simply reference the full spectrum of projects that the company has won. Roadways, school projects, commercial projects such as Lowes and Coca-Cola along with residential condominium operations demonstrate the company’s integration within the region.
Addressing the current state of the economy, however, should be a consideration. The stock price of the company is attractive but at the same time an indicator of the risk that one may be taking. This is the crux of the opportunity. Construction in this particular region will return at some point. When is the question. Ready Mix concrete appears to have a solid base in place and the background to support it. It may be at a low ,but if one might be interested in a “flier” of sorts, it may be worth investigating.

National Automation Services, Inc. (NASV.PK) is “One to Watch”
National Automation Services, Inc. is a public holding company focused on designing, engineering, installing and maintaining automated control systems for such business applications as waste water treatment, water treatment, airport security, bottling plants, power plants, metals, mining, breweries, food processing, tire making, textiles, plastics and nearly all production activities.
Dominant players in the $500 Billion national and international automation controls market include Siemens, Honeywell, Fisher Controls, Johnson Controls and others. In addition to the multi-nationals, it has been estimated that there could be as many as 900 local and regional firms providing automation control services. In general, these companies have an edge on the larger behemoths because they can better respond to the needs of local business and municipalities.
Unfortunately, for these smaller companies, they compete in a limited market space, have stunted growth prospects and have no way of monetizing their asset value. NAS aims to capitalize on this condition by acquiring and integrating the strongest local and regional players into a new organization that would allow for the synergies and efficiencies of a national company while keeping the competitive advantages of decentralized management and service.
Of the 900 local and regional automation companies, 42 meet the company’s acquisition criteria; 11 of which have been targeted for acquisition over the next two years. NAS projects year-end 2010 revenues of more than $47 Million and year-end 2011 revenues of over $140 Million predicated on meeting its targeted acquisition schedule. With a solid business plan in place, NAS has a firm foundation to generate strong cash flow and increase shareholder value over the long-term.

Novelos Therapeutics Inc.’s shares have nearly doubled in price since the company was initially covered in QualityStocks’ FREE Daily Newsletter. Novelos was mentioned in the newsletter only a few short weeks ago – on December 15, 2009 – when the stock was trading for only $1.09 a share. Since then the stock has climbed to a current price of $2.07 a share. That is a spectacular rise in such a short time!
Novelos Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company commercializing oxidized glutathione-based compounds for the treatment of cancer and hepatitis. The company’s lead compound – NOV-002 – is in Phase 2 development for early-stage breast cancer and chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer. More importantly, the compound is in Phase 3 development for lung cancer (and being fast-tracked by the FDA) and acts together with chemotherapy as a chemoprotectant and chemopotentiator. In addition, the company’s NOV-205 is in Phase 1b development for chronic hepatitis C non-responders.

Newport Digital Technologies, Inc. (NPDT.OB) to Participate in a $500 Million State and Federal Grant Program
Today at the opening bell, Newport Digital Technologies, Inc. announced it entered into a Letter of Intent with Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) for the opportunity to participate in a $500M State and Federal Grant program earmarked for schools and public areas that do not have wireless connectivity by the end of the second quarter. According to the press release, Newport Digital’s WiMax demonstration system will be reviewed by State and Federal Grant committees to confirm the benefits of the company’s WiMax solution and grant funds for deployment.
Newport Digital launched the installation of a WiMax base station and long range subscriber station designed to exhibit WiMax long range broadband Internet connectivity between its Corporate Offices in Newport Beach, California and the OCDE’s Learning Resources Center (LRDC) in Costa Mesa, California. The five mile WiMax Internet connection will demonstrate WiMax’s long range broadband transmission ability and high speed Internet connection at 15 ~ 40 Mbps. The WiMax system will also include Newport Digital’s eLearning platform, demonstrating high speed online eLearning access capabilities.
“We are excited to have commenced the installation of NPDT’s WiMax broadband wireless demonstration system and to participate in the $500M State and Federal grant programs that will greatly enhance Internet connectivity to remote and economically challenged areas of the U.S. at a very low cost. This technology will expand Internet access to those who are not able to obtain high speed wireless Internet access currently. We are thrilled to be a part of this ‘last mile’ connectivity initiative, benefiting society at many different levels,” commented Michael Lutton, NPDT CEO.
“NPDT is working in conjunction with leading Taiwan-based R&D technology incubators, the Institute for Information Industry (III) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), to roll-out this WiMax demonstration system with eLearning application as one of the first of its kind in Orange County, California,” stated Weiling Tsao, NPDT President.
Richard Tanimoto, Newport Digital’s Senior Managing Director, added, “NPDT’s WiMax Demonstration system will offer long range Internet connectivity, high speed Internet access, Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) connectivity and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) capabilities that will allow more reliable connections, including areas with potentially obscure access points and allow thousands of users the ability to access a single long range subscriber station simultaneously. WiMax will enable a reliable high definition level content connectivity, greatly enhancing the Internet experience for all users.”
Mr. Lutton continued, “WiMax is our cornerstone technology that will enable NPDT to roll out its other core technologies such as rugged RFID handhelds, wireless digital LED signage and eLearning solutions.”
