SGD Holdings, Ltd. is a holding company focused on creating and acquiring new technologies, products and methodologies that have the potential to positively impact the environment. Increased media coverage, more stringent legislation, rise of pressure group activities and recent industrial disasters have significantly increased the consumer demand for eco-friendly products.
EcoPaper, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGD Holdings, has developed an innovative and economically feasible method of removing tons of agro-industrial waste generated every year. The company’s tree-free, eco-friendly, sustainable paper products offer a sustainable replacement to the wasteful paper products that are overused in our society on a daily basis.
According to recent estimates, paper accounts for 40% of all municipal waste. Post-consumer paper waste is choking our landfills and causing harmful pollution to both our air and water supply when incinerated. Even with recent gains in technology, paper remains the main form of communication among people, especially in the education field, and has an infinite number of industrial uses.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, EcoPaper reported record revenues exceeding $3.4 million compared to sales of $84,697 for the same period a year earlier. The company attributed the 3,967% increase in revenues to its efforts of diversifying into the sales of raw materials. Additional gains in profitability and revenues are anticipated this year as the company continues to grow while carefully manage its costs.

Tivus, Inc. (TIVU) Makes Hospitality Intelligent
The term “computer age” seems archaic today, simply because computer technology has become so dispersed and integrated with everything else. Much computer technology is now essentially invisible to the user, buried in functionalities and automated services that we take for granted. In effect, it is allowing us to impart intelligence to processes, increasing efficiencies and reducing waste in ways never before possible. Today, efficiencies based upon intelligence can mean the difference between success and failure, and nowhere is this truer than in the rapidly changing hospitality industry.
There was a time when a hotel room had little more than two beds and a Bible, but competition and the demand for entertainment eventually made in-room television a standard feature. Black-and-white gave way to color and small screens became large screens, but the basic rules of the game remained essentially the same. You sat down and flipped through the channels until you found something of interest, or, if you were willing to spend a little money, you could pay for video-on-demand.
To the hotel owner, it all represented a nagging, if necessary, expense; something you had to give the consumer to get them in the door. Thanks to companies like Tivus, Inc., however, that model is starting to go the way of the TV antenna. Tivus, a hospitality entertainment technology company, is doing everything it can to move the industry to the bold new platform of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television). IPTV not only addresses problematic security issues common in old technology legacy systems, it offers a totally new world of scalable two-way communication and data capturing, essentially bringing intelligence to a previously limited part of the hospitality experience.
Because of IPTV’s ability to sense and effectively turn off channels that are not currently being watched, it makes far more efficient use of bandwidth, allowing guests a huge selection of channels and options. It also provides more flexibility in presentation, so that, for example, a Japanese guest could see the Japanese channels at the top of the list. Also, since IPTV standards are global in nature, it’s easier and less costly for worldwide hotel chains to adopt a single solution. The Tivus system architecture allows traffic to be analyzed as guests access the network, capturing behavioral, geographical, and seasonal factors, allowing advertisers to better focus their presentations as well. In addition, guests can interact, requesting more information when needed.
A key advantage to the Tivus solution is the company’s revenue sharing advertising program, allowing a hotel to install ultra-modern HD flat screen televisions at potentially no capital expenditure, making it easy for the industry to transition to a new level of intelligent hospitality.

NASA Places Order with Flexpoint Sensor Systems Inc. (FLXT)
A government deal could be called the “Holy Grail” for a small cap company. Even if the original contract isn’t very large, it is a huge vote of confidence and legitimizes a company, not to mention the potential for future purchase agreements.
Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. manufactures a patented flexible sensor that has also proven to be an extremely durable switch. The single layer Bend Sensor product is very versatile and has unlimited uses as it permits measurements of mechanical movement, air flow, water flow, or even vibration. Per Flexpoint, the sensor has been tested to over 35 million cycles without failure. The multi-use capacity of the sensor system is evident in the variety of companies that are using the Company’s flagship product.
As implied by the opening sentences, Flexpoint has now tapped into the U.S. government with its sensors. Today, the Company announced that it has received an order from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) to supply their patented Bend Sensors®. Much to the chagrin of the investment community, details were not able to be released at this point.
Clark Mower, President of Flexpoint, commented, “It is exciting to receive a development order for our sensors from such a prestigious and forward-thinking organization. While we cannot currently disclose the application, it opens up a whole new and expansive area of potential use of our technology. It is gratifying to continue to receive validation of our technology from so many sources. This product will be delivered to NASA during the current quarter.”
This order comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this week that Flexpoint had received a follow-up order to supply their bi-directional Bend Sensors®. Again, details were sparse, but it was reported that the client company offers products used in industrial control, medical, consumer and building automation. Followers of Flexpoint know that the Company is short and sweet with their press releases, but the stock price of FLXT could grow long legs again with continued news of this nature. Shares began the week at 20 cents, but have risen to touch 35 cents in intraday trading today.
Interested parties can find more information on Flexpoint and its sensors at www.flexpoint.com

Auric Mining Company (AUMY) Moves to Acquire Substantial Holdings in Nevada with Resource Body Estimates of 500k Ounces of Gold
Auric Mining, which engages in mineral and natural resource production as an investment and management company, reported today signing of a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire the Carson City, Nevada-based gold developer Homestead Tonopah Gold LLC, a Nevada Corporation.
This is a major move for AUMY, which pursues a strategy of copiously analyzing extant proven properties for acquisition and joint venture, and will add substantially to the Company’s already strong land position, primarily consisting of the Dolly Gold Showing in Saskatchewan (some 1,100 acres with assays ranging up to 0.48 oz/ton Au) and the Dog Lake Project in Wawa, Ontario (proven and probable reserves of some 1M tonnes grading 8.55 g/t Au).
Homestead Tonopah owns a 50% interest in an incredibly promising gold property near Tonopah, Nevada in the Walker Lane region of the Basin and Range physiographic province. Some 100k ounces of gold were pulled out back in the 1990s by Phelps Dodge via some roughly, preliminary development at the site and the location is sandwiched between three well established mineral deposits (either abutting the property or within a distance of two miles). The excellent mineralization at the site makes it an extremely attractive domestic acquisition target for the Company.
Given the clear mineralization basis of the geology evident from historical work and nearby established deposits, the Company is looking to plant a firm foothold in Nevada at the site, perhaps gobbling up adjacent holdings as well in an effort to secure what could collectively be a an ore body over containing over 500k ounces Au. With gold spot trading at around $1565 an ounce today and the pro-mining attitude of Nevada, complete with well laid logistics for extraction, this play by AUMY appears to be a solid move in the right direction for the Company’s shareholders.
Historical production at the Tonopah site bottomed out in gold after a great deal of investment, but production was halted back in the late 90’s due to the falling price of gold. This is exactly the kind of previously developed site with proven resources that AUMY loves and we should expect to hear more from the Company soon regarding developments in the area.

Daulton Capital Corp. (DUCP) is “One to Watch”
Daulton Capital Corp. is a natural resource finance company focused on precious and base metals as well as oil & gas opportunities. With the primary objective of partnering with major and junior natural resource companies for option/joint venturing projects, Daulton Capital has formed an experienced management team with the expertise necessary to capitalize on the tremendous opportunities available in the natural resource sector today.
The Company aims to acquire resource projects and expand exploration while continuing to seek special situations and unique opportunities in under funded projects within the resource sector. When evaluating these opportunities, Daulton Capital keeps its primary focus on growing shareholder value while limiting investment risk. The company also commits itself to being responsible with integrity, trust and respect for all partners and communities involved.
Daulton Capital has negotiated an option agreement on two key Gold Projects located in the Yukon Territory, Canada; the Hunker Project, which is located in the heart of the famous Klondike Placer Gold District, and the Balarat Project, located in the White Gold District. This newly discovered and internationally recognized area is the same district where Underworld Resource’s (TSX.UW) recent drill results incepted grades of 103 meters averaging 3.4 g/t Au.
In Papua New Guinea, the company has forged a strategic partnership with James Das, President of South Pacific Connection Ltd., to acquire majority working interest in a major placer property located in the Prince Alexander fault. Richly endowed with gold, copper, oil, natural gas, and other minerals, Papua New Guinea has the third-largest gold reserves in the world. The country also contains four of the largest gold and gold/copper mines in the world.
Both energy related resources such as natural gas and oil as well as precious metals such as gold, silver and copper will play a significant role in the growing demands of the world’s economy. Taking into consideration the relative buoyancy of the price of precious metals and energy due to worldwide demand drivers, currency and economic turbulence, the outlook for the price of natural resources is quite favorable as demand continues to increase.

Got Lithium? Maybe You Should
Although the demand for lithium is exploding, due to the fact that lithium-ion batteries represent the world’s current best answer for the efficient storage of electricity, it is still considered a relatively rare element. Found in various continental brines and rocks, its concentrations are so low that it is often bypassed. As a result, sites with real potential are highly valued, and most sources are outside of the North America.
Unlike fossil fuels, lithium is not an energy source. Rather it is a critical component enabling the use of clean alternative energy sources. The high energy to weight ratio and high capacity of lithium-ion batteries make them the solution of choice for the storage of electrical energy, and efficient electrical storage is the key when it comes to eco-friendly electric and hybrid automobiles, as well as for bridging production gaps in solar and wind generation. Without lithium, the green revolution would have far fewer options.
It has taken awhile, but investors are finally beginning to understand the importance of lithium in the next era of transportation and electricity generation. This is evident in the rapidly rising stock prices of publicly traded companies focused on producing this increasingly valuable commodity. As oil becomes more costly to extract, encouraging a variety of other power sources, rising lithium prices are considered a given.
Here are some of the companies we have been watching:
Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (OTCBB: LEXG) is a U.S.-based exploration and development company focused on the acquisition and development potential of lithium brines and other precious metals that demonstrate high probability for near-term production. Currently, the company is focused on its Western Canada and South America properties. Website: www.lithiumexplorationgroup.com
AmeriLithium Corp. (OTCBB: AMEL) is a publicly traded mining company committed to evolving into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry. The Company is headquartered in Henderson, NV. AmeriLithium has amassed a Lithium portfolio consisting of ~724,000 acres, including three Nevada-based projects nearby the only Lithium producing plant in the US, a large project in Alberta, Canada, and a project in Western Australia. Website: www.amerilithium.com.
American Lithium Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: AMLM) is a U.S.-based mineral exploration company focused on the development of lithium and boron resources in Nevada. The company’s key objective is to develop world-class lithium projects that will capitalize on surging demand for lithium-ion batteries, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. The Borate Hills Project is the Company’s current primary focus; however, it is also active in grassroots exploration for lithium deposits in the Great Basin of the United States with ten other highly prospective projects in Nevada and Utah. Website: www.americanlithium.com.
Lithium Corp. (OTCBB: LTUM) is an exploration company based in Nevada devoted to the exploration for new lithium resources within the state of Nevada. The Company explores and develops potentially economic lithium-enriched brine fields, with the goal of becoming a long-term producer of this increasingly strategic and economically important commodity.

Unlike fossil fuels, lithium is not an energy source. Rather it is a critical component enabling the use of clean alternative energy sources. The high energy to weight ratio and high capacity of lithium-ion batteries make them the solution of choice for the storage of electrical energy, and efficient electrical storage is the key when it comes to eco-friendly electric and hybrid automobiles, as well as for bridging production gaps in solar and wind generation. Without lithium, the green revolution would have far fewer options.
It has taken awhile, but investors are finally beginning to understand the importance of lithium in the next era of transportation and electricity generation. This is evident in the rapidly rising stock prices of publicly traded companies focused on producing this increasingly valuable commodity. As oil becomes more costly to extract, encouraging a variety of other power sources, rising lithium prices are considered a given.
Here are some of the companies we have been watching:
Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (OTCBB: LEXG) is a U.S.-based exploration and development company focused on the acquisition and development potential of lithium brines and other precious metals that demonstrate high probability for near-term production. Currently, the company is focused on its Western Canada and South America properties. Website: www.lithiumexplorationgroup.com
AmeriLithium Corp. (OTCBB: AMEL) is a publicly traded mining company committed to evolving into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry. The Company is headquartered in Henderson, NV. AmeriLithium has amassed a Lithium portfolio consisting of ~724,000 acres, including three Nevada-based projects nearby the only Lithium producing plant in the US, a large project in Alberta, Canada, and a project in Western Australia. Website: www.amerilithium.com.
American Lithium Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB: AMLM) is a U.S.-based mineral exploration company focused on the development of lithium and boron resources in Nevada. The company’s key objective is to develop world-class lithium projects that will capitalize on surging demand for lithium-ion batteries, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. The Borate Hills Project is the Company’s current primary focus; however, it is also active in grassroots exploration for lithium deposits in the Great Basin of the United States with ten other highly prospective projects in Nevada and Utah. Website: www.americanlithium.com.
Lithium Corp. (OTCBB: LTUM) is an exploration company based in Nevada devoted to the exploration for new lithium resources within the state of Nevada. The Company explores and develops potentially economic lithium-enriched brine fields, with the goal of becoming a long-term producer of this increasingly strategic and economically important commodity.

Total revenue for 2010 increased 220.2 percent to a record $217.3 million, compared to $67.9 million reported for 2009. The company attributes the strong results primarily to the addition of new customers, backed by increased deals from existing customers, as well as strong growth in exports.

Imperial Resources, Inc. (IPRC) Agrees to Purchase Disposal Site
Imperial Resources, Inc. reported that the company has signed an agreement to purchase a water disposal facility in Texas. The facility will be used to dispose of salt water and other fluids released from wells drilled in the area.
Imperial Resources said the facility is located in the Fort Worth Basin in north Texas, and will handle the disposal of salt water from wells drilled into the Barnett Shale. The Barnett Shale is one of the largest natural gas producing area in the United States and has seen thousands of wells drilled over the last decade.
Imperial Resources said that the disposal facility is located on forty one acres and consists of one well bore, tanks, pumps, offloading pads and control systems needed to operate the facility. The site also has a fully constructed access road and is convenient to a nearby highway.
Imperial Resources has obtained a permit from state authorities to dispose of 15,000 barrels of salt water per day. This permit is conditional on deepening the well to an additional depth. The previous owner of the site invested $5 million in the disposal facility, and the company plans to invest another $1.2 million.

True 2 Beauty, Inc. (TRTB) Continues Marketing Move Into Television
Earlier this month, True 2 Beauty, leading distributor of all-natural pills and liquid products for male and female sexual enhancement, signed television personality and author David Good as celebrity spokesman. Readers may remember Good as the winner of ABC’s reality TV show Bachelor Pad. He was also a former contestant on season 5 of The Bachelorette. Good will be promoting Love Pack, the company’s newest product, which combines offerings for both genders in one package, the product being the result of market research by the company’s North American distributor Kretek International. It’s one of many anticipated television campaigns True 2 Beauty is planning as part of a major marketing scale up.
Alex Hbaiu, True 2 Beauty’s CEO, said of the agreement and Love Pack, “We believe David is the perfect match for targeting our core age groups across both sexes. His strength of character and keen understanding of the male-female dynamic will only add to his allure as a positive role model to promote our products. The concept of bringing the male and female products together into one SKU allows us to simultaneously market our products to both genders at retail and online, and creates a more unique experience at the point of purchase.”
Capitalizing on his television celebrity, David Good recently completed a book written to help women better understand the often puzzling male psyche. Good is currently promoting the book, titled “The Man Code: A Woman’s Guide To Cracking The Tough Guy” on a major book signing tour, but work on the first commercial with Good is expected to begin immediately, aiming for a mid-summer release.
True 2 Beauty’s products include LibiGrow, LibiGirl, LibiLiquid Shots, and the LibiLiquid Relaxation Drink. The company also offers a new water based lubricant named TNT Touch ‘N Tingle, and recently announced the launch of an additional line of supplements under the brand Blue Diamond (for men) and Pink Diamond (for women).

Network Engines, Inc. (NEI) Q2 Results Beat Guidance with Sixth Straight Quarter of Profits
NEI, a leading global provider of server-based application platforms, deployment solutions and lifecycle support services for software technology developers and OEMs, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, with results surpassing previous guidance.
“NEI’s results met or exceeded our guidance and represent our sixth consecutive quarter of profitability. Our pre-tax profit was roughly equal to the December quarter as we benefited from a more favorable mix of custom products which drove slightly higher gross margin dollars despite seasonally adjusted lower revenues. We also continue to carefully manage our expenses and leverage our infrastructure to increase profitability,” Greg Shortell, president and CEO of NEI, stated in the press release.
Second-quarter net revenues increased 18 percent to $65 million compared to $55 million reported for the second quarter of the year prior.
Gross profit margin was 11.6 percent of net revenues compared to 11.8 percent for the second fiscal quarter of the prior year.
NEI reported net income on a GAAP basis at $1.5 million, or $0.03 per share, which included $236,000 of stock-based compensation expense and $332,000 of amortization expense. This compares to net income of $236,000, or $0.01 per share, which included $282,000 of stock-based compensation expense and $389,000 of amortization expense in the same period a year ago.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation and amortization expenses, was $2.0 million, or $0.05 per share, better than the expected range of non-GAAP profit of $700,000 to $1.3 million. The non-GAAP net income compared to non-GAAP net income of $907,000, or $0.02 per share, in the second fiscal quarter of 2010.
NEI finished the quarter with $15.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $53.4 million in working capital. Accounts receivable decreased to $38.8 million and inventory levels increased to $26.5 million compared to $43.0 million and $25.8 million as of December 31, 2010, primarily due to the lower revenues. NEI also has a $10 million bank credit facility that it has yet to utilize.
The company offered guidance for its fiscal third quarter ending June 30, 2011, based on current forecasts from certain customers and historical trends. NEI anticipates net revenues in the range of $61 million to $66 million; gross profit margin in the range of 10.5 percent to 11.0 percent of net revenues; operating expenses between $5.9 million and $6.4 million; net income on a GAAP basis in the range of $400,000 to $900,000; and net income on a non-GAAP basis in the range of $1.0 million to $1.5 million.

FDA Gives Orphan Drug Designation to CytRx Corp. (CYTR) Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
Oncology-focused biotech company CytRx Corp. today announced that its tumor-targeting pro-drug candidate INNO-206 has been approved for orphan drug designation for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer by the Office of Orphan Products Development of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), giving the company leverage to advance into phase II clinical trials.
CytRx holds the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to INNO-206, which is designed to control the release of commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic doxorubicin and to preferentially target tumors. The company said it believes INNO-206 may make it more effective and less toxic in cancer patients than doxorubicin.
“This designation represents an important and exciting step in the overall development program for INNO-206. We are delighted with the FDA’s decision to grant INNO-206 this special status, particularly given that treatment with INNO-206 resulted in a statistically significant, three-fold reduction in the average primary tumor size in an animal model of pancreatic cancer,” Steven A. Kriegsman, president and CEO of CytRx stated in the press release.
Kriegsman noted that INNO-206 is one of few drugs demonstrating positive results as a pancreatic cancer treatment.
“Only a handful of drugs have shown any benefit for the treatment of patients suffering from this rapidly progressing, deadly cancer, and INNO-206 outperformed both doxorubicin and the current standard of care gemcitabine in the animal trial. We are now arranging advancement of INNO-206’s development for pancreatic cancer in a phase II clinical trial,” he stated.
CytRx is currently conducting a phase Ib safety and dose escalation study with INNO-206 in patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard therapies. The company said it plans on moving into phase II clinical testing in the second half of this year.

eCrypt Technologies Inc. (ECRY) Appoints Tris Hussey to Take Over New Product Campaign
eCrypt Technologies, Inc., a developer and retailer of encryption software that secures the transmission, storage, and access to digital information around the world, has announced that it has hired world renowned social media expert Tris Hussey as the leader of its social media, online content, and product campaigning for the company.
Tris gained recognition by leading the effort to completely make over all of eCrypt’s online properties, which include the launch of two new websites and contribution of brand new material for the official eCrypt blog, YourPrivacyIsOurBusiness.com, and launching the new weekly podcast PrivacyNowRadio. Tris’ efforts have already brought forth success, with several media appearances, as well as converting the users of competitors such as Hushmail to eCrypt.
With over 15 extensive years of experience online, web site development, startup, technology, social media experience, and product management, Tris has proven to be fully capable of engaging eCrpyt’s community. Along with being a published author, Tris was one of the first professional bloggers in North America, speaks often on society and technology, and teaches continuing education classes to University students. Tris has obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in the field of Anthropology from Colby College in Maine, and a Master of Science degree in the field of Quaternary Studies from the University of Maine.
“Tris’ extensive background in technology, education, and science plus his social media profile make him the ideal person to lead eCrypt’s social media efforts which require a person who can easily move within the worlds of regular users, cryptography experts, and the media. We are tremendously excited to have Tris on board,” commented Brad Lever, CEO of eCrypt.
A fundamental aspect of eCrypt’s social media is to offer its users a person who is the face of the company, someone who will listen, engages, and helps people with the products. Tris, who is an established expert in technology, has become said face.
Tris has already become a Twitter celebrity (you can follow him at @trishussey), and will soon be managing the Company’s personal Twitter account (@ecrypt) and other online ventures. Tris enjoys communicating and talking with users of all levels, and has an “open online door” policy for users to contact him with any questions, concerns, or comments on eCrypt products.
“Having a person who can engage users, draw them in and make them feel valued is absolutely essential to today’s companies. A strong user community starts with a strong Community Manager. Tris Hussey is absolutely that person,” commented Curt Weldon, Chairman of the Board of Directors of eCrypt.

Tri-Valley Corp. (TIV) Completes Expanded Phase 1 Drilling Program at Claflin Project in California, Increases Existing Production
Tri-Valley Corp., which is engaged in oil and natural gas development on its properties in California and which is developing exploration-stage precious minerals at the Company’s gold properties in Alaska, reported today successful completion of an expanded Phase 1 drilling program at its Claflin oil project in Bakersfield at the Edison Oil Field.
The Company has drilled an additional two holes on its way to drilling a total of 22 during 2011 as planned and will be poised once complete to bring the some 2.1M barrels of net proved undeveloped resource to proved, developed and producing status, while continuing to increase oil production. More details about the resource can be found on the Company’s Form 10-K in their annual report (period ended, Dec. 31, 2010) filed with the SEC on Mar. 22, 2011.
President and CEO of TIV, Maston Cunningham, said the Company was well ahead of its proposed schedule for increasing production in 2011, projecting an 800 BOPD production rate by year’s close at Claflin should everything wrap up on time. Cunningham pointed to the recently acquired private placement financing of some $5M, which will fund the Company’s continued development at Claflin and welcomed industry veteran investment fund, Ironman Energy Master Fund, as a major new shareholder in TIV.
The Company is currently busy finalizing the installation of well-site production equipment, tying-in newly drilled wells to existing production facilities and has projected an early May start date for the initial steam injection cycle on the first new well. An additional steam injection cycle is also planned for late July and yet, this timeline may be rapidly advanced, due to new steam injection hardware currently being installed to expand operational capacity.
Initial oil production is slated for June, at which time a 90-day evaluation period will begin, allowing the Company to fully assess the potential/performance of the new wells prior to continued work on the remaining wells to be drilled by year’s end.
Cunningham also commented on a planned 3D seismic acquisition area for the Claflin and adjoining Brea properties, explaining that negotiations with land/mineral owners has taken considerably longer than expected and projecting an early May start for the beginning of the 3D seismic work. Cunningham emphasized the importance of this survey data for the Company’s ongoing exploration and development work in the Claflin/Brea, especially during the horizontal well drilling planned for later this year, where the data will afford markedly better geologic control.

Fuel Tech Inc. (FTEK) Receives Orders Totaling $2.4 Million
Fuel Tech Inc. is engaged in the worldwide development, commercialization and application of state-of-the-art proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization and advanced engineering services. These technologies enable customers to produce both energy and processed materials in a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner.
The company today announced receipt of two air pollution control orders totaling $2.4 million. Both orders are scheduled to be delivered later in 2011.
The first order was placed by an existing utility customer. It was for two of the company’s ULTRA systems for two retrofit coal-fired electricity generating units in China. Fuel Tech’s ULTRA process provides for safe and cost-effective on-site conversion of urea to ammonia, which is used as a reagent in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx). This eliminates the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of aqueous ammonia.
The second order was also placed by an existing customer. It was for a NOxOUT-SCR project on a domestic industrial boiler. Fuel Tech’s proprietary NOxOUT-SCR process is an advanced form of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. Unlike the conventional SCR system which uses ammonia as the reagent, the company’s process utilizes a safe, easy-to-use reagent to feed the SCR system. This process can provide up to 85% NOx reduction, similar to a conventional SCR, but without the downside safety risks.

Unigene Laboratories, Inc. (UGNE) Achieves Enrollment Target for Oral PTH Phase 2 in Osteoporotic Postmenopausal Women, Secures $4M Milestone...
Unigene Laboratories, Inc. (UGNE) Achieves Enrollment Target for Oral PTH Phase 2 in Osteoporotic Postmenopausal Women, Secures $4M Milestone Payment from GlaxoSmithKline
Unigene Laboratories, developers of one of the top portfolios in existence of peptide-based therapeutics, a portfolio engineered on the Company’s revolutionary Peptelligence™ platform, reported today that patient enrollment in Phase 2 of the oral parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog study targeting postmenopausal women with osteoporosis has been completed.
The Company has thus completed the necessary requirements for the $4M milestone payment from collaborating partner GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), with whom UGNE is developing the oral formulation of a recombinantly produced PTH analog, as part of an extremely promising, exclusive global licensing agreement (signed, Dec. 10, 2010). This payment supplements the initial upfront $4M payment used to implement the Phase 2 study and UGNE stands to gain up to an additional $142M via achievement of agreement-specified regulatory and commercialization milestones.
President and CEO of UGNE, Ashleigh Palmer, called the enrollment target’s completion itself a major milestone for UGNE, as it represents a culmination of the Company’s proprietary PTH analog oral formulation. Palmer called the four-month execution of this study, since the initial signing with GSK, extremely impressive and commended the UGNE team for their diligence, showcasing the Company’s vast experience with trialing.
Additionally, the Company is eligible for tiered double-digit royalties on global sales and GSK may elect to assume total control over all aspects of future development/commercialization, based on a summary review of the Phase 2 data. This is a huge boon for UGNE, which designed the Phase 2 study to help create a solution for the one-in-three women, and one-in-five men over 50 who will suffer from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a huge market and its rate of occurrence in postmenopausal women is rising along life-expectancy rates, having a heavy-hitter like GSK potentially drive this product home post-Phase 2 to the tune of double digit royalties in a worldwide market that in the US, Europe and Japan alone totals over 75M.
Let’s take a quick look at the study itself:
• Multicenter, randomized and double-blind with respect to the placebo, repeat dose of which will include an open label Forsteo® injectable formulation comparator arm
• One daily oral PTH analog will be compared to baseline
• Primary target will be increased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine of the some 93 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients at 24 weeks
• Secondary targets will analyze biochemical markers indicating bone formation, resorption, overall safety and tolerability/ pharmacokinetics of the oral formulation itself

Sharps Compliance Corp. (SMED) Posts 24% Revenue Increase for Q3
Sharps Compliance Corp., a leading full-service provider of cost-effective management solutions for medical waste and unused dispensed medications generated outside the hospital and large healthcare facility setting, today posted its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 increased 24.2 percent to $4.5 million from $3.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2010. The company attributes the increase to growth in its three targeted markets: Professional, Retail and Core Government.
“Our strong revenue growth in the quarter is clear evidence that our many initiatives to realign our resources – and intensify and more strategically target our marketing activities – are beginning to generate tangible results. We believe we have properly positioned the company to more fully capitalize on the vast and largely untapped potential of the medical waste and unused dispensed medication disposal market,” David P. Tusa, president and CEO of Sharps Compliance, stated in the press release.
Net loss for the fiscal 2011 third quarter was $659,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $975,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Higher sales volumes were the primary contributor to the increase.
Gross margin improved to 31.2 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, up from 24.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
The company reported cash and cash equivalents of $16.8 million at March 31, 2011, compared with $18.1 million at June 30, 2010; working capital was $20.8 million at March 31, 2011, compared with the fiscal 2010 year-end level of $21.6 million.
Tusa outlined the company’s business strategy and how its steps to achieve growth are paying off.
“Our efforts to refocus our sales and marketing resources are beginning to be realized through growth in billings. Our TakeAway Environmental Return System™ has been extremely well received by retail pharmacies across the country. Revenue from this product bolstered results during a quarter which has historically been our weakest due to the gap between flu shot seasons. In addition, our broadened awareness campaign is beginning to generate improved sales through our inside sales and e-commerce efforts,” Tusa stated. “We reached $304,000 in sales through these two channels, more than double the prior-year period and a 28 percent improvement over the trailing second quarter. On average, the number of weekly orders by inside and online sales has grown from 56 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, to 99 in the trailing second quarter, to 127 in this fiscal year’s third quarter…”

Inventure Foods Inc. (SNAK) Reports Earnings Up 16%
Inventure Foods Inc., a leading specialty food maker and marketer, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 26, 2011, posting record first-quarter earnings of $0.08 per fully diluted share.
“Our record first quarter 2011 earnings have carried Inventure Foods’ momentum into the new year,” Terry McDaniel, CEO of Inventure Foods stated in the press release. “We are off to quality starts in both our Snack and Rader divisions as we continue to deliver year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. Our Healthy/Natural portfolio now represents 53 percent of total revenue, having increased 27 percent from the first quarter of 2010. As we continue to focus resources on building our “better-for-you” group of products, we hope that it will continue to gain a larger share of total company revenues.”
Revenue for the first quarter increased 16.7 percent to $36.6 million compared to $5.2 million versus the prior-year first quarter. Snack division net revenue posted a 12.4 percent increase over the same quarter a year ago to $21.7 million. The Snack division also experienced a second consecutive quarter of growth in the T.G.I. Friday’s brand, which increased 17.6 percent from the prior year.
Rader division net revenue, which includes Jamba All Natural Smoothies, totaled $14.9 million for the quarter, up 23.6 percent over the prior-year period. Excluding Jamba, Rader division net revenues increased 6.7% for the quarter. Jamba net revenue for the quarter totaled $2.1 million ($2.5 million gross), reflecting Jamba’s nationwide rollout and the adding of a fourth flavor, Caribbean Passion.
Consolidated net income for the quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010.
Gross profit of $7.9 million, or 21.6 percent of net revenues, increased 15.8 percent. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $5.5 million for the quarter, or 15.0 percent of net revenues.
McDaniel said the company will continue to invest in its brands, supplying them with new sales to support expansion, noting Jamba and Boulder Canyon in particular.
“Jamba continues to perform above our expectations, delivering $2.5 million in gross revenues, which was achieved with very little new business. We believe Jamba is poised for a strong second quarter as we continue to execute the national roll-out. Early customer feedback and acceptance has been very encouraging and reflective of our expectations relating to the original roll out. Boulder Canyon continues its strong momentum as we expand geographically and add new products to the portfolio. We are also excited by the resurgent first quarter growth of T.G.I.Friday’s. The 7.0 percent increase in our Indulgent/Specialty portfolio was primarily the result of its strength,” McDaniel stated.

East Coast Diversified Corp.’s (ECDC) Subsidiary Announces Launch of Ecommerce Site
East Coast Diversified Corp., a company that offers a portfolio of GPS devices, RFID interrogators, integrated GPS/RFID technologies, and Tag designs, has announced that its subsidiary EarthSearch Communications, Inc. will be launching its new ecommerce site on April 29, 2011. The website will be offering professional services and consulting for mid size and small businesses.
“Most small and mid size businesses are not taking advantage of emerging technologies such as RFID that can help with automation of business processes, reduce cost of operation, improve performance and profitability. While most large organization with resources are more likely to take advantage of these technologies, small and mid size businesses are intimidated by the cost associated with professional services required to review and design solution needed for their operations. In addition, limited knowledge of the capabilities of emerging technologies and how they enhance profitability impact adoption,” said Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO for ECDC.
EarthSearch’s ecommerce site will be offering the current products offered by the company, along with special tools for small and mid size businesses to request “free” professional consultation by completing a Project Description Form, used to describe their desired business automation objectives, upload images, floor plans, and other information that would be necessary to aid in the designing solution that will address current problems that are apparent within their operation.
EarthSearch System Analysts and the “Professional Services Team” will offer consultative project designs and support, make any recommendations to aid in how to best implement RFID or integrated RFID/GPS solutions to create more efficiency and automation in their operation for increased profitability. The site will bring forth similar benefits to small and mid size businesses that are available to most major organizations around the world. Small business owners and managers will be able to access consultative tools that are needed to understand the fundamentals for the technology and help guide utilization.
“We intend to continue to focus on major business solutions; however our new small business division will look to cater to the ignored segment of the market. We observed from the inquiries we are getting for products that there is significant confusion and lack of understanding in the small to mid size business space on how best to implement RFID technology for business process automation. We receive inquiries for products only to discover that the client does not quite understand the implementation process and lack the consultative support required to design application that meet the desired solution. We are going to fill that gap,” said Kayode Aladesuyi, Chairman and CEO of ECDC.
Allison Gooch, the Marketing and Graphic Design Executive for ECDC, said, “We encourage small to large businesses to visit our ecommerce site, we will offer information on solution designs that can be helpful in guiding organization decisions on how best to automate their business operation.”
EarthSearch Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of East Coast Diversified Corporation, is based in the US. Its main product, LogiBoxx™, assimilates GPS and RFID at the hardware level to offer unprecedented visibility in the Supply Chain, Logistics, and Asset Management and Control industries. The company’s extensive expertise in GPS and RFID technology, with its exceptional support and services, sets EarthSearch apart from its leading competitors.

Spectranetics Corp. (SPNC) Posts Record Revenue and Significant Achievements for Q1
Medical device manufacturer Spectranetics Corp. today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, posting record revenue, FDA approval for trials of its EXCITE In-Stent Restenosis, regulatory approval for its Lead Locking Device in Japan, as well as other achievements for the quarter.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2011 increased 5 percent to $30.4 million compared with revenue of $29.0 million for the first quarter of 2010. The net loss for the first quarter of 2011 was $154,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $958,000, or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2010. The net loss in the first quarter of 2010 included $353,000 in special items.
“Our performance in the first quarter reflected meaningful progress on the key initiatives that support our plan to accelerate revenue growth while establishing profitability in 2011. We delivered sequential growth in Vascular Intervention revenue and 14 percent revenue growth over the prior year in Lead Management – which is consistent with the financial objectives we outlined earlier this year,” Jason D. Hein, senior vice president of Sales, Marketing and Business Development stated in the press release.
Hein also noted the company’s placement of 41 laser systems with new customers during the first quarter of 2011, a sales level the company hasn’t reached in nearly three years. Hein said Spectranetics expects the laser systems to continue to contribute to improving revenue throughout the rest of the year.
Spectranetics also affirmed its previously provided outlook, without revision, and maintained its primary focus for 2011 of improving revenue growth while establishing profitability. Revenue is anticipated to be within the range of $122.5 million to $126.5 million, a 4-7 percent increase over 2010 revenue.
To improve manufacturing efficiencies in 2012 and beyond, the company said it plans on implementing several important initiatives, with a focus on marketing and sales.
“It remains our key objective to return to sustained double-digit revenue growth in 2012. Our strategy to achieve this is centered on marketing and sales execution to capitalize on the continued expansion of our addressable markets, new product introductions in 2012, international growth, particularly in Europe and Japan, and a renewed focus on clinical research as demonstrated by the planned initiation of the EXCITE ISR randomized clinical trial this quarter,” Shar Matin, senior vice president of Operations, Product Development, and International, stated.

PeopleString Corp. (PLPE) is “One to Watch”
PeopleString Corp. creates technologies that enable consumers to take advantage of their social networks to capitalize on the best national and local deals. The Company’s patent pending “shareItUp” technology takes the power of social media to create coupons that go up in value when shared and rewards loyal customers who share their favorite merchants with others. Founded in January 2009, PeopleString Corp. has their headquarters in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Their PeopleString social network allows individuals, entrepreneurs, and small business to manage and aggregate their personal, business, and social communications into one online dashboard. PeopleString also offers patent pending “Insta Portal” technology that allows users to import pieces of their favorite websites into their own PeopleString homepage.
Yesterday, PeopleString announced the official launch of PeopleDeals. This is the Company’s social coupon platform that allows merchants to launch real-time social media marketing campaigns and, via their shareItUp feature, offer deals that grow in value as they are shared through social networks, email, or text. At present, users can share deals through Facebook, Twitter, PeopleString, MySpace, Blogger, TypePad, LiveJournal, Delicious, SMS, or email.
PeopleDeals exists as a stand-alone web portal and Facebook application, with mobile applications on both the iPhone and Android operating systems launching in the coming weeks. The platform incorporates multiple layers of geolocation technology to ensure that consumers receive only the most relevant deals and to prevent fraud.
Darin Myman, PeopleString’s President and CEO, said, “PeopleDeals makes more expensive marketing channels unnecessary and passes those savings along to the consumer in the form of better deals and bigger discounts. The cost of traditional marketing is an enormous burden on merchants and particularly small businesses. PeopleDeals provides unlimited marketing potential and the ability to connect directly with a loyal customer base for a third of what a business owner might spend on a single Valpak advertisement or a costly Groupon.”
PeopleString also announced yesterday that they have partnered with ALOT, a division of Vertro, Inc., to distribute their new PeopleDeals social coupon platform. ALOT will promote a specially designed PeopleDeals app, currently undergoing development by PeopleString, to millions of existing ALOT users, as well as their prospective users as part of their ongoing online marketing program.

China North East Petroleum Holdings Ltd. (NEP) Closes on Acquisition
China North East Petroleum Holdings Ltd. announced that the company has closed on its purchase of the Sunite Right Banner Shengyuan Oil and Gas Technology Development Co., Ltd., an exploration and production company with operations in Inner Mongolia.
China North East Petroleum Holdings Ltd. said that the final acquisition price was $43.4 million, payable in a combination of cash and stock. The cash component of the deal is $10.6 million and is payable no later than May 16, 2011.
China North East Petroleum Holdings Ltd. will issue 5.8 million shares of common stock valued at $32.8 million to Shengyuan shareholders. The stock will be restricted and cannot be sold by the holders for six months.
Shengyuan holds the exclusive exploration and drilling rights in the Durimu oilfield located in Inner Mongolia. The rights expire in 24 years and the company has the right of first refusal to renew the lease.
A reserve study conducted on the Durimu oilfield estimated that the field held total proven reserves of 1.54 million barrels of oil, with an estimated PV-10 value of $46.4 million. China North East Petroleum Holdings Ltd. believes that this study understates the potential of the field and expects to recover additional resources above this amount.

Clenergen Corp. (CRGE) to Capitalize on Increased Demand for Electricity from Emerging Market’s Industrial and Retail Sectors
Clenergen Corp. today announced it is seeing an increased demand for electricity in India, Africa, and the Philippines, resulting from a surge of business opportunities for its operations. As shortages of electricity during both off peak and peak times continue, companies and municipalities are now turning to alternative energy sources and independent power producers for stable power supply.
In the Philippines, urban centers rural communities are suffering from shortages in diesel supply and higher fuel costs as their electricity is generated from the fossil fuel. Clenergen intends to install its first 2MW gasification power plant on Romblon Island later this year where the government has already requested a further 2MW to be installed.
In Ghana, large mining companies are forced to operate for up to 12 hours on back up diesel generators at a cost of 32 cents per liter. Ghana Manganese Mining Company, who has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a turnkey 2MW gasification power plant from Clenergen, anticipates their demand to increase 300% over the next 24 months as mining operations expand production. Notably, Clenergen is in negotiations with 3 other large mining companies who require both energy security and control over energy cost.
India is currently seeing the largest increase in demand as large manufacturers and retailers move towards direct Power Supply Agreements, resulting in electricity prices reaching 15 cents per KW/h during peak times. Clenergen has entered into a number of supply agreements including Tata coffee, Coca Cola and Titanium Watches.
Commenting on these recent developments, Mark Quinn, Executive Chairman of Clenergen, stated, “The growth potential in the emerging markets provides Clenergen a key competitive advantage through the direct cultivation of energy crops to supply biomass for power generation. These key markets are climatically suited for the cultivation of our propriety bamboo which by the fourth year will start yielding over 40 tons per acre and annually thereafter for 50 years at a cost lower than the current price of coal, solar and wind suppliers.”

Nothing Virtual about Onstream Media Corp.’s (ONSM) Climb in 2011; Shares Rise Again
Social media marketing and cutting-edge web communications are changing the modality of corporate business strategies today. Public and privately-held companies alike are embracing technologies that can enhance communications across all spectrums for internal business purposes as well as outside interaction with shareholders and clients. Modern digital technologies facilitate the capacity for organizations to create and distribute their message in a manner unlike methods of the not too distant past which now seem antiquated. To focus on only one aspect, webcasts alone have experienced triple digit growth year over year since 1995; directly representing the importance and depth of online operations.
Pompano Beach, Florida-based Onstream Media Corporation, a leading online service provider of live and on-demand corporate web communications, virtual event technology, and social media marketing, is a firm seeking to capitalize on the trend in digital communications and marketing. Onstream specializes in online audio and video corporate communications through its pioneering digital asset management ASP technology which provides the necessary tools for webcasting, webconferencing and content publishing services. According to Onstream, nearly half of the Fortune 1000 companies and 78% of the Fortune 100 CEOs and CFOs have used Onstream Media’s services to broadcast their announcements in sales, training, marketing, communications, investor relations and branding.
The Company has been “lining them up and knocking them down” with regards to signing new companies seeking to utilize their popular MarketPlace365™ virtual tradeshow platform this year. This is in addition to signing a Master Agent Agreement with SmartSource, a leading provider of tradeshow equipment rentals and audio visual technology support solutions, at the end of March which should begin reaping strong rewards throughout the remainder of the year.
Yesterday, Onstream announced that industry behemoth Bell SMG, LLC, which operates the MRGA (Market Research Global Alliance), signed a MarketPlace365™ promoter agreement to develop a virtual tradeshow to enhance their online visibility and extend their social media marketing activities. As the first online social network for market researchers, MRGA is believed to be the largest global network of market research professionals with more than 24,000 members utilizing dynamic social networking tools to connect with each other, refer businesses, and to educate marketing professionals in the latest technologies. The relationship should prove to be extremely beneficial to both parties as MRGA anticipates Onstream’s virtual Exhibit Hall to become home to over 1,000 online “booths,” hosted by member companies like Research Now, iCharts, Global Park and Toluna within the next twelve months.
Eric Bell, founder and CEO of Bell SMG, commented, “The MarketPlace365™ platform has taken the trade show concept to the next level. Utilizing social media tools, live and on-demand presentations, multimedia libraries, virtual exhibit halls and more, participants have the opportunity to increase their visibility 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”
2011 has been a year of volatility for the stock price of ONSM; climbing from 75 cents to nearly $2 a share at the beginning of April. Shares slipped since those recent highs to touch $1.08 last week, but found momentum again to begin trekking back northward when the latest news sent shares climbing again to hit $1.50 before settling at $1.37. Technically, the chart appears very bullish with a new higher low being formed and the share price once more holding over both the 50 and 200 day moving averages. With less than 10 million shares in the float and a still tiny market cap of $12.89 million, Onstream appears to have found its bottom at the end of 2010 as volume has substantially risen in 2011 and the price per share is starting to firm in a solid uptrend.
