LTX-Credence Corp., a global provider of ATE solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.
The company reported fourth quarter 2011 sales of $62.6 million, a decrease compared to sales of $73.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, but up from previous quarter sales of $58.6 million. Net income for the 2011 quarter was $12.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, a decrease from $14.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, reported for the fourth quarter of last year. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the 2011 quarter was $13.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2011, LTX reported sales of $249.5 million, up 14 percent compared to sales of $219.0 million reported for full-year 2010. Net income was $60.0 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.5 million, or $0.13 per share, reported for the comparable 12 months of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the year was $56.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted share.
Dave Tacelli, CEO and president of LTX, acknowledged that sales weren’t as high as hoped, but attributed the revenue quarter-over-quarter revenue increase to strong growth in the company’s application specific and power management segments.
“Although revenues were slightly below the low-range of our guidance, net income came in at the mid-point of the guidance,” Tacelli stated in the press release. “Our balance sheet was further strengthened from better than expected cash generation from operations, resulting in an increase in net cash of approximately $16 million during the quarter, and ending the year with no debt and $163 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
For the upcoming fiscal quarter ended Oct. 31, 2011, the company expects revenues between $35 million and $39 million; non-GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $(0.10) to $(0.06) per share.

Small Cap Voice: Solar Integrator Designation Makes Exergetic Energy (XNGR) Eligible Bidder for $75 Million Federal Work
Exergetic Energy is celebrating its recent designation as a solar integrator for the federal prison industries because it will not only make the company eligible to bid on federal work, it will also make them able to purchase competitively-priced solar panels for customers.
Clarence McCollum, chairman and CEO, described the advantages the Detroit-based company now enjoys in an interview Friday.
Exergetic Energy specializes in providing energy solutions for business and government. Its early roots are in renewable energy, designing, installing and maintaining solar photovoltaic systems. This year, the company broadened its reach and expanded into nonrenewable energy with the purchase of Specialized Services, a 20-year-old company that optimizes fuel use and supplies fuel to businesses.
This year’s designation recognizes the extensive scientific and engineering acumen that are the core of Exergetic Energy’s success. McCollum himself spent two decades in research engineering for Ford, NASA and other innovators and then served as the director of a major oil company before taking on his latest role. Other key players have decades of research and development experience, including Dr. Jeffrey Streator, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech and a specialist in friction reduction.
Possible sole-source bidder
Elevated into a premier tier of energy companies, Exergetic Energy is now placed in a small field of businesses able to bid on $75 million worth of federal work. Further funding is possible as well, particularly if the solar integration does what it should and saves money in the long run.
“A lot of the (federal) construction contracts are in solar design,” McCollum explained. And unlike many of the chosen solar companies, Exergetic Energy is not simply a construction firm. Its team of experienced scientists and engineers can design a system that meets challenges in the environment or construction.
What kind of challenges?
“Hurricane zones are a major issue,” McCollum said. “If you don’t anchor the panels correctly, they can become projectiles on roofs in a storm. In construction, cities are highly condensed and the HVAC system takes up most of the roof space. We have to design around that.”
Where these challenges are present for federal projects, only companies with specific experience in certain geographic regions are allowed to bid out of the small pool of designees.
“We could be the sole-source bidder depending on the location and complexity of the project,” said McCollum.
Designated to purchase low-cost solar panels
A less-obvious benefit of the designation is Exergetic Energy’s ability to purchase competitively priced solar panels built in the United States with labor from the federal prison system.
The prisoner-built panels are “the only way to produce cost-effective panels (in the United States) compared to Asia and other global producers.”
Incredible price competition has led to bankrupty this month for two American solar panel makers, SpectraWatt and Evergreen Solar. Unlike these companies, Exergetic “stayed clear from manufacturing solar panels,” McCollum said. But while the costs remain competitive, the company still qualifies to bid on projects that insist hardware be American made.

Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC) Agrees to Purchase Uranium Database
Uranium Energy Corp. today reported the signing of an agreement to purchase a uranium database package covering areas in South Texas. The company believes that the package will assist in the exploration of prospective uranium deposits on its properties.
Uranium Energy is purchasing the database package from Uranium One Inc. for $900,000, consisting of $400,000 cash and 159,236 shares of the company’s common stock at a price of $3.14 per share.
Uranium Energy said that the database package covers the Goliad Formation and has information on more than forty prospective uranium targets in the area. The company’s Palangana, Goliad, Salvo and Nichols projects are all located within the Goliad Formation.
The database package was compiled by Total Minerals and Mobil Oil, which operated in the area in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The data includes drilling logs on approximately 2.8 million feet of previous uranium drilling as well as drilling logs on approximately 41.6 million feet of previous oil and gas drilling.
Uranium Energy said that the database package contains more than 750 maps of the south Texas area and approximately 100 studies and analyzes of the Goliad Formation. The company plans to focus efforts on the forty uranium targets contained within the database.

TiVUS, Inc. (TIVU) Enters Strategic Partnership With TEL electronics; Gains Access to Global Distributor Network
TiVUS, Inc. just announced that it has forged a new strategic partnership with TEL electronics, inc. for the purpose of establishing a comprehensive hotel industry distributor network to thoroughly, quickly, and efficiently reach its target market within the hospitality entertainment industry.
“I am pleased to announce this vital strategic partnership with TEL,” stated Phil Marriott, TiVUS’ executive vice-president of sales. “TEL brings over 33 years of experience in hotel communication technology sales, is well-known, and much respected within the hospitality electronics industry.
“As thousands of hotel properties have now been chain-mandated to upgrade to high-definition television (HDTV), the strategy of distributing through entrenched hotel vendors already providing other electronics and software needs is paramount to rapidly seizing market share; and, is made possible only through the leverage of TEL’s established relationships.
“In this way, TiVUS expects to both rapidly gain access to desirable hotel properties as well as mitigate the need to fund, train and field a large sales force,” he concluded.
Shiva Prakash, TIVUS’ president and chief executive officer, added, “I believe Phil Marriott’s and TEL’s continued development of this solid distribution network will favorably position our HD IPTV with ad-insertion solution in front of virtually every desirably hotel property throughout North America; furthermore, we believe this strategy to be the most efficient method of rapidly establishing significant market share,” Prakash concluded.

Patient Access Solutions, Inc. (PASO) Offers Transformative Cost Savings
One of the long standing rules of business is that profit is made on the pennies. If every day you can come up with a new efficiency, however small, it isn’t long before your business is made up of a thousand hidden ideas driving your operation forward. Major efficiencies, on the other hand, are seldom hidden for long. Transformative technologies, for example, move whole industries, and soon become the standard for the most successful companies.
In the healthcare industry, insurance eligibility is the key to revenue, and its efficient processing and administration is the key to cost reduction and profit. According to the Healthcare Financial Management Association, the automation of insurance verification processes significantly reduces associated administrative costs, by up to 50%. That’s hardly a surprise, given the well-known time and money that is regularly lost to benefit eligibility verification. The traditional procedures go something like this:
- The patient’s insurance cards are photocopied.
- Someone then calls the insurance company’s 800 number to verify eligibility status.
- The caller takes whatever time is needed to deal with long waits or busy signals.
- Once patient status is verified, the data is then usually manually transcribed.
The process also affects the insurance company’s costs, since they have to pay staffers to provide the requested information on a nationwide time schedule.
Patient Access Solutions (PASHealth) is now meeting this widespread market need through the use of a POS terminal and web portal that allows the payer’s office to quickly access needed information via a swipe card or quick data entry. The result is a complete printout verifying coverage and providing all related information, such as co-pay, deductible, and primary care physician, all in as little as 20 seconds. The company already has 450 major insurance companies signed up.

Sagebrush Gold, Ltd. (SAGE) Acquires Relief Canyon Gold Mine and Processing Facilities Amid Rising Gold Prices and Pan Asia Gold Exchange Debut
Sagebrush Gold, a junior gold exploration firm focused on high-value targets, announced acquisition of the Relief Canyon Gold Project, a choice property located at Packard Flat in the Antelope Springs mining district of Pershing County.
Chairman of SAGE, Barry Honig, was excited to announce an aggressive exploration campaign, starting with resource studies and the satisfaction of applicable permits/approvals (including federal and state permitting and bonding requirements) via local authorities and the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), and culminating with a focused, intensive drilling program engineered to both expand the resource and deliver on near term production goals.
The site has quite a history of previous infrastructural investment and considerable heaped ore to process, but was mothballed in 1990 due to sagging gold prices, after a decade or so of operation yielding some 100 oz Au under the previous operator Pegasus Mining. The operation was running at an average rate of 2M ton/year, pulling down an average 0.03 opt AU and facilities are currently in place to initiate heap leaching. Hsitoric heap recovery was in the 60-70% range and with clear geological potential in the unexplored areas of the property, SAGE feels confident that the Relief Canyon site will emerge on the forefront of the Company’s near-term and long-term production profile.
A prime location with abundant potential to expand the resource due to largely unexplored territory in what is prime mineral acreage, the east side of Packard Flat, underwritten by the June 2010, NI43-101 compliant resource estimate (9.252M tons total ore at an avg. grading of 0.017 opt), makes the Relief Canyon a strong addition to the Company’s portfolio of gold exploration properties.
Let’s dig a little deeper into the millsite infrastructure, ore base on-hand and resource estimates from the NI43-101:
• As mentioned the site has rather good existing leaching facilities with five heap leach pads (portable conveyors with a radial stacker) and two solution ponds (full pipe/pumping systems), as well as a cement block-constructed ADR solution processing circuit (Adsorption- Desorption-Recovery)
• Ancillary structures, including the mine office and a warehouse stand ready
• The ADR plant is a carbon four-column setup with acid wash, stripping vessel, electrolytic cells, furnace and retort for gold doré production all in the original Pegasus building
• A full crushing system, initially intended to reprocess heap material, with primary and secondary components is in place and overall heap recovery has solid historical values
• Some 200k tons of crushed/stacked leached ore and a healthy 7M tons estimated in existing heaps means that SAGE’s near-term production goals will be easy to meet
• Indicated Resource of 6.533M tons at 0.017 opt Au (113k oz Au, 0.005 opt cut-off)
• Inferred Resource of 2.719M tons at 0.015 opt Au (42k oz Au, 0.005 opt cut-off)
Exciting news considering the recent announcement of the formation of a Pan Asia Gold Exchange, which will see six of China’s top banks coming together to form a government-backed Asian alternative to the COMEX, featuring RMB-denominated contracts.
More information on the acquisition, The Relief Canyon Gold Project and details of the NI43-101 report can be found at the Sagebrush Gold, Ltd. website: www.SagebrushGold.com

The site has quite a history of previous infrastructural investment and considerable heaped ore to process, but was mothballed in 1990 due to sagging gold prices, after a decade or so of operation yielding some 100 oz Au under the previous operator Pegasus Mining. The operation was running at an average rate of 2M ton/year, pulling down an average 0.03 opt AU and facilities are currently in place to initiate heap leaching. Hsitoric heap recovery was in the 60-70% range and with clear geological potential in the unexplored areas of the property, SAGE feels confident that the Relief Canyon site will emerge on the forefront of the Company’s near-term and long-term production profile.
A prime location with abundant potential to expand the resource due to largely unexplored territory in what is prime mineral acreage, the east side of Packard Flat, underwritten by the June 2010, NI43-101 compliant resource estimate (9.252M tons total ore at an avg. grading of 0.017 opt), makes the Relief Canyon a strong addition to the Company’s portfolio of gold exploration properties.
Let’s dig a little deeper into the millsite infrastructure, ore base on-hand and resource estimates from the NI43-101:
• As mentioned the site has rather good existing leaching facilities with five heap leach pads (portable conveyors with a radial stacker) and two solution ponds (full pipe/pumping systems), as well as a cement block-constructed ADR solution processing circuit (Adsorption- Desorption-Recovery)
• Ancillary structures, including the mine office and a warehouse stand ready
• The ADR plant is a carbon four-column setup with acid wash, stripping vessel, electrolytic cells, furnace and retort for gold doré production all in the original Pegasus building
• A full crushing system, initially intended to reprocess heap material, with primary and secondary components is in place and overall heap recovery has solid historical values
• Some 200k tons of crushed/stacked leached ore and a healthy 7M tons estimated in existing heaps means that SAGE’s near-term production goals will be easy to meet
• Indicated Resource of 6.533M tons at 0.017 opt Au (113k oz Au, 0.005 opt cut-off)
• Inferred Resource of 2.719M tons at 0.015 opt Au (42k oz Au, 0.005 opt cut-off)
Exciting news considering the recent announcement of the formation of a Pan Asia Gold Exchange, which will see six of China’s top banks coming together to form a government-backed Asian alternative to the COMEX, featuring RMB-denominated contracts.

Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TTNP) Confirms Pre-NDA Meeting with FDA for Probuphine™
Today, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed a Pre-New Drug Application (Pre-NDA) meeting with the company regarding Probuphine™ to be held on October 25th, 2011. Probuphine is an innovative, subcutaneous implant formulation that delivers a steady, round-the-clock dose of buprenorphine over six months following a single treatment. Titan is developing this formulation for the treatment of opioid dependence.
At the Pre-NDA meeting, Titan will review all elements of the Probuphine development program and seek FDA input and guidance on the proposed content of a New Drug Application (NDA). In preparation for the meeting, Titan is required to submit to the FDA a comprehensive briefing document by mid-September that includes data from all the non-clinical and clinical studies and the chemistry, manufacturing and control processes and procedures for the manufacturing of this formulation.
The FDA has agreed to review the Probuphine NDA submission under its 505(b)(2) regulations and can reference data that are in the public domain as well as rely on the FDA’s prior review of safety or efficacy for the reference listed drug. Guidance provided by the FDA in 2005 as part of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application discussions included a requirement that efficacy of treatment with Probuphine be demonstrated in two adequately controlled studies, and that the safety database include the treatment of approximately 500 patients with Probuphine for six months and approximately 100 patients for one year.
Katherine L. Beebe, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Titan, remarked, “This is an important meeting with the FDA to review all of the information on Probuphine development, especially the robust Phase 3 clinical results of Probuphine in the treatment of opioid addiction. We also expect to discuss and reach agreement with the FDA on the content and data required for the NDA. We believe the strong positive results from the two controlled studies of Probuphine and the follow-on re-treatment studies demonstrate the potential effectiveness of the treatment for opioid addiction and the safety and tolerability of this product. We look forward to our meeting with the FDA and obtaining their guidance on the sufficiency of these data so that we can appropriately plan the timing of our NDA submission.”

Augme Technologies, Inc. (AUGT) Announces Completes Acquisition of All Assets and Business of Hipcricket Inc.
Augme Technologies, Inc., a company that provides strategic services and mobile technology to consumer and healthcare brands, has announced that it has completed the acquisition of essentially all of the assets and the business of Hipcricket Inc., a leader in mobile marketing and advertising based near Seattle, Washington.
The purchase price, amounting to $44.5 million, was comprised of $3 million in cash, a $1 million promissory note, $2 million to be paid to Hipcricket option holders, which amount Augme may pay at its discretion in either Augme common stock or cash, and $38.5 million in Augme’s common stock. Also, the transaction calls for a twelve-month earn-out payment to Hipcricket employees and shareholders that is valued up to $27.5 million, which may be paid out in cash or Augme’s common stock at Augme’s dicretion provided that the transaction remains a tax-free organization. Augme anticipates retaining all of the employees at Hipcricket, and the current team at Hipcricket will continue to service Hipcricket’s customers.
Earlier on this summer, Hipcricket reached an industry-leading milestone by hosting its 130,000th campaign. The company had managed over 30,000 campaigns in 2011 by utilizing a broad range of mobile communications platforms, which include SMS, MMS, CRM, mobile-social programs, mobile coupons, QR codes, branded applications, mobile web, and various other platforms for clients such as Macy’s, MillerCoors, Nestle, KFC, and Clear Channel.
The activity pace for Hipcricket has steadily increased since the company powered its very first campaign back in 2004. Hipcricket developed and executed 17,000 campaigns in the first half of 2010 and nearly doubled that number for the first half of 2011. This year, the company is recording double-digit percentage month-over-month growth in the number of campaigns that are processed each month. Hipcricket’s Mobile Advertising Network has been used by companies in more than 15 industries, with a main focus on quick-service restaurants (QSR), travel, retail, technology, and consumer packaged goods (CPG).
Augme believes that, as a result of the acquisition of Hipcricket, it can count itself as the preeminent leader in end-to-end mobile marketing solutions for consumer brands, agencies, and pharmaceutical/health and media companies. The combined companies’ client roster includes more than 300 total clients, which include: ten of the world’s top twenty pharmaceutical companies, six of the biggest media companies in the world, four of the biggest advertising agencies in the world, three of the leading quick service restaurant groups in the world, and one of the largest food companies in the world.
“We believe that the acquisition of Hipcricket will allow Augme to provide the most powerful best-of-breed mobile marketing and advertising solutions to global brand name leaders, backed by strong intellectual property portfolios that include patented technology and software-as-a-service (‘SaaS’) technology platforms,” noted Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of Augme Technologies, Inc. “Additionally, Hipcricket’s revenues for the twelve months ended July 31, 2011approximated $9.4 million on which it earned a 67% gross profit margin.”
In recent months, Augme believes that is has significantly expanded and brought strength to the capabilities of its industry-leading management team. Paul Arena still remains Chief Executive Officer of Augme, while Hipcricket’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Braiker, has been appointed as President and joins Augme’s Board of Directors. Jim Crawford has stepped down as director of the Company, but remains Augme’s Chief Information Officer. Eric Harber, President and Chief Operating Officer of Hipcricket, joins Augme’s management team as Chief Operating Officer. Phillip Rapp, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Augme, has become Executive Vice President of Strategic Planning. Succeeding Augme’s acquisition of JAGTAG last month, the former CEO of that company, Ed Jordan, was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Augme.
“This well-rounded senior management team has more than 200 years of combined experience in brand marketing, social media, Internet, telecommunications, advertising, customer relationship management technology and data analytics in a number of industries that are relevant to Augme’s strategic business objectives,” added Arena.

The purchase price, amounting to $44.5 million, was comprised of $3 million in cash, a $1 million promissory note, $2 million to be paid to Hipcricket option holders, which amount Augme may pay at its discretion in either Augme common stock or cash, and $38.5 million in Augme’s common stock. Also, the transaction calls for a twelve-month earn-out payment to Hipcricket employees and shareholders that is valued up to $27.5 million, which may be paid out in cash or Augme’s common stock at Augme’s dicretion provided that the transaction remains a tax-free organization. Augme anticipates retaining all of the employees at Hipcricket, and the current team at Hipcricket will continue to service Hipcricket’s customers.
Earlier on this summer, Hipcricket reached an industry-leading milestone by hosting its 130,000th campaign. The company had managed over 30,000 campaigns in 2011 by utilizing a broad range of mobile communications platforms, which include SMS, MMS, CRM, mobile-social programs, mobile coupons, QR codes, branded applications, mobile web, and various other platforms for clients such as Macy’s, MillerCoors, Nestle, KFC, and Clear Channel.
The activity pace for Hipcricket has steadily increased since the company powered its very first campaign back in 2004. Hipcricket developed and executed 17,000 campaigns in the first half of 2010 and nearly doubled that number for the first half of 2011. This year, the company is recording double-digit percentage month-over-month growth in the number of campaigns that are processed each month. Hipcricket’s Mobile Advertising Network has been used by companies in more than 15 industries, with a main focus on quick-service restaurants (QSR), travel, retail, technology, and consumer packaged goods (CPG).
Augme believes that, as a result of the acquisition of Hipcricket, it can count itself as the preeminent leader in end-to-end mobile marketing solutions for consumer brands, agencies, and pharmaceutical/health and media companies. The combined companies’ client roster includes more than 300 total clients, which include: ten of the world’s top twenty pharmaceutical companies, six of the biggest media companies in the world, four of the biggest advertising agencies in the world, three of the leading quick service restaurant groups in the world, and one of the largest food companies in the world.
“We believe that the acquisition of Hipcricket will allow Augme to provide the most powerful best-of-breed mobile marketing and advertising solutions to global brand name leaders, backed by strong intellectual property portfolios that include patented technology and software-as-a-service (‘SaaS’) technology platforms,” noted Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of Augme Technologies, Inc. “Additionally, Hipcricket’s revenues for the twelve months ended July 31, 2011approximated $9.4 million on which it earned a 67% gross profit margin.”
In recent months, Augme believes that is has significantly expanded and brought strength to the capabilities of its industry-leading management team. Paul Arena still remains Chief Executive Officer of Augme, while Hipcricket’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Braiker, has been appointed as President and joins Augme’s Board of Directors. Jim Crawford has stepped down as director of the Company, but remains Augme’s Chief Information Officer. Eric Harber, President and Chief Operating Officer of Hipcricket, joins Augme’s management team as Chief Operating Officer. Phillip Rapp, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Augme, has become Executive Vice President of Strategic Planning. Succeeding Augme’s acquisition of JAGTAG last month, the former CEO of that company, Ed Jordan, was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Augme.
“This well-rounded senior management team has more than 200 years of combined experience in brand marketing, social media, Internet, telecommunications, advertising, customer relationship management technology and data analytics in a number of industries that are relevant to Augme’s strategic business objectives,” added Arena.

Sionix Corp. (SINX) Executes Agreement with Dakota Solutions Inc.
Mobile water treatment systems designer Sionix Corp. announced today that it has executed an agreement with Dakota Solutions, Inc. (DSI) for the lease of property in Tioga, North Dakota. The property will be used in the operation of a Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF) in the Bakken Shale Formation.
According to the terms of the agreement, Sionix will design, build, own and operate a WWTF on an 80 acre parcel of leased property near Tioga, ND, the first WWTF of its kind in the Williston Basin. The WWTF will be designed specifically for the treatment of heavily contaminated production, flowback and frac water and will be equipped with the company’s proprietary MWTS products and underlying dissolved air flotation technology. DSI owns and operates a fleet of waste hauling tankers for the transport of oil and gas drilling waste water in the Williston Basin region of North Dakota; therefore, DSI will transport oil and gas drilling waste to the WWTF as well as treated water back to drillers so that continued draw down on threatened fresh water resources is minimized.
“After months of evaluating available data, we are moving forward with plans to construct and operate a waste water treatment facility in the Bakken Shale Formation,” said James R. Currier, Chairman and CEO of Sionix. “We believe the combination of current and projected oil and gas drilling activities, limited availability of fresh water resources, and the absence of a comprehensive waste water treatment and water recycling facility makes this high energy reserve area an ideal location for the installation and operation of a WWTF equipped with our proprietary MWTS.”
He continued, “It is expected to provide a critical resource for oil and gas drillers to treat and recycle (millions of gallons of) contaminated production, flowback and frac waste water (daily) without unnecessary stress on limited fresh water resources in the area. We expect the facility will serve not only oil and gas interests but also other industrial, agricultural, commercial and general public demands that require access to the limited public water supplies. With DSI hauling waste water exclusively to the Sionix WWTF, expected contracts with a number of drillers, and anticipated cooperation from local regulators, we believe we will have significant demand for our services.”
John Hennessy and Mark Tudahl, co-owners of DSI, commented, “With deep roots, strong family ties, and a life long love for the prairies of North Dakota, we feel this is a great opportunity to preserve and maintain one of the prairies’ most vital resources, simply water.”

Global Earth Energy Inc. (GLER) is “One to Watch”
Global Earth Energy, Inc. provides renewable energy solutions and pursues joint venture agreements with solutions providers. The Company’s first two key joint ventures consist of a 300,000 hectares partnership with ReFlora De Brazil for the co-management of properties to create green financial products. The second joint venture is with LifeCycle Investments, a life settlement LLC, located in the Chicagoland area. Global Earth Energy Inc. has their headquarters in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Global Earth Energy Inc. and Reflora De Brazil, combined, hold more than 300,000 hectares of tropical forests in Brazil. The joint venture has hired a management team with global expertise managing more than 21,000,000 hectares. Global Earth and ReFloras eco-system business opportunities include, but are not limited to, development and sale of carbon-offset credits based on current rain forests and agricultural conditions existing in Brazil, and development and sale of carbon offset credits generated from forest set aside (avoided deforestation) projects in appropriate locales in Brazil.
Business opportunities also include development and sale of REDD and VER carbon credits generated from rain forests in Brazil; development and sale of water abatement, biodiversity, and conservation credits, and controlled sustainable production and sale of agricultural products, including timber and bio-fuel crops.
The joint venture will own and manage $12,000,000.00 in settlements. LifeCycle will continue to assemble portfolios of life settlements utilizing their network of aggregators and brokers. These include some of the largest leading life settlement aggregators in the United States. In pricing life settlements for possible acquisition by LifeCycle, LifeCycle will continue to use their successful proprietary pricing and bidding models.
Earlier this month, Global Earth Energy, Inc. announced, along with their joint venture partner Modern Coal, LLC, that they will complete the acquisition of Samuel Coal, Inc. by September 6, 2011 or sooner. Modern Coal, LLC is a Texas major contract mining company. The details for full production of site production are undergoing coordination with local resources under the supervision of the joint venture and Samuel Coal. Because of the abundance of resources on the Samuel Coal properties, the joint venture is currently ramping up to move forward with multiple Letters Of Intent already in place. The mines are located on approximately 5,000 acres near Hindman in the eastern part of Kentucky.

Sauer Energy, Inc. (SENY) to Begin Accepting Distributorship Applications
Located in Newbury Park, California, Sauer Energy has quickly earned a reputation as a technology developer and planned manufacturer focused on the emerging renewable energy market. Today, the Company took a major step forward with the announcement they are accepting distributorship applications.
One of the major reasons Sauer Energy has garnered national attention is their WindCharger product. The WindCharger was created to provide better solution for the use of wind capture for residential or small building use.
The WindCharger will first launch in the United States through national distributorships, achieving Sauer Energy’s main goal to fill the domestic market first. The young company then plans to move into the international market to meet global demand.
Leading the way at Sauer Energy is Dieter Sauer whom serves as the company’s President and CEO. Commenting about the importance of the WindCharger, Sauer stated, “With today’s economy, we strive to offer the end-users the best service to go along with our cutting-edge technology. The support of a certified distributor equates to overall superior customer service. Sauer added, “Our country is experiencing a shortage of domestically manufactured small wind turbines. As energy rates escalate, the WindCharger will become a more valuable and cost-effective option for acquiring and supplying our electrical needs.”
To learn more about the company as a whole, visit their corporate website at www.SauerEnergy.com. Interested parties can find a preliminary application on the website at: http://bit.ly/pR8ehq

ChinaNet Online Holdings Inc., a leading B2B integrated Internet service provider for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the People’s Republic of China, today laid out the plans for its expansion to attract Taiwan-based global franchises. The company also announced its annual participation in the 2011 Taipei International Chain and Franchise Autumn Exhibition held last weekend at the World Trade Exhibition Centre in Taipei, Taiwan.
As ChinaNet strategizes and executes an effective means of international expansion and marketing, the company said it has been accepted as a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA), the world’s oldest and largest organization representing franchising.
It’s an achievement that company chairman and CEO Handong Cheng says will enhance the company’s position in the global marketplace, and open doors for additional opportunities and recognition.
“In 2010, ChinaNet was the first in our industry to establish a presence in Taiwan. We are pleased that efforts to build upon our new relationships have begun to bear fruit and contribute to our revenues as we continue to promote the expansion of Taiwanese franchise enterprises in China. Our growing international presence will be additionally strengthened with our membership in the IFA, which we believe will offer new opportunities for growth,” Cheng stated in the press release.
The company recently participated in the 2011 Taipei International Chain and Franchise Autumn Exhibition, which is the largest business exhibition in Asia, featuring more than 200 hundred brands and attracting 48,000 visitors this year.
ChinaNet’s presence at the Exhibition fueled its efforts to attract foreign franchises to China through the company’s franchise gateway and marketing platforms, 28.com and Liansuo.com.

American International Industries, Inc. (AMIN) Utilizes Management Expertise to Acquire Timber and Agricultural Concessions in Cameroon
American International Industries, Inc., a growing investment organization that takes an active role in the companies it invests in to foster growth and profitability through its financial resources and its management expertise, today announced an agreement to acquire timber and agricultural concessions in the West African nation of Cameroon in consideration for the issuance of stock by a newly-organized entity of American International, Africa Ag Corporation (“AAC”). The parties are preparing a definitive Sales and Purchase Agreement for execution and closing, expected to occur during the 4th quarter of 2011.
“This acquisition represents American’s strategic move to utilize its executive and management resources to generate income for American, through management fees, and provide American with added value through its equity participation. American, as a diversified holding company, controls and manages four operating subsidiaries, with a management team having the expertise to provide important business development and management resources to growing companies. Further, the participation in the timber and agricultural sector is consistent with the Company’s focus on hard assets as a hedge against inflation and devaluation of currencies,” stated Daniel Dror, Chief Executive Officer, American in the press statement.
This is a no cash deal for American and there will also not be any American International shares issued in connection with the acquisition. American International will provide AAC with executive and administrative services in exchange for a cash management fee from AAC, initially fixed at $250,000 and American International will be reimbursed for direct expenses it incurs on behalf of AAC. The use of American International’s management expertise will allow AAC’s team to focus its efforts on operating the concessions. A third party is currently evaluating the valuations of the agricultural and timber concession.
“The AAC holdings consist of more than 250,000 acres of agricultural land in the Yaounde area of Cameroon and, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, may be operated by AAC for the sale and export of multiple products and crops, including timber and biofuels, for a period of 99 years. I am pleased to announce that AAC also has executed a contract to acquire an additional concession of 300,000 acres of sustainable Cameroon Federal timber. Together with a fully-functional sawmill, which will further enhance the operations and the value of American’s interest,” said Scott Gaille, President of American in a press release Monday. Mr. Gaille has travelled to 22 African nations developing multiple relationships and business interests in Africa over the years.

AuRico Gold Inc. (AUQ) Moves to Acquire Northgate Minerals, Resulting Company a Serious Contender in the Intermediate Range
AuRico Gold, the Canadian gold and silver developer with three rich, wholly-owned operating properties in Mexico, in conjunction with Northgate Minerals Corp., have announced entry into a definitive acquisition agreement whereby a new, leading intermediate gold production company will emerge.
President and CEO of AUQ, Rene Marion, described the resulting fusion of AuRico and Northgate as constituting a formidable force in the sector and will immediately position the “combined company as a pre-eminent intermediate gold producer with peer leading growth.” Marion was quite happy to point out the striking similarities between the two companies in terms of assets, projects and people, asserting that the logistical match-up would go swimmingly.
President and CEO of Northgate, Richard Hall, concurred wholeheartedly with his colleague at AUQ, highlighting the quality of the deal as a huge opportunity, both for Northgate shareholders and the market. Hall underscored the hard work Northgate personnel have put in, developing a strong portfolio of mineral properties in Canada and Australia, outlining the obvious production synergies this deal will create.
Highlights of the resulting business structure:
• Five operational gold mines with a sixth coming online in 2012
• Three promising gold development projects in Mexico, Canada and Australia, noted as being three of the top global hotspots for ideal mining jurisdictions
• Roughly 54% boost in production from 475k gold-equivalent ounces in 2012, to 730k in 2013 (based on combined midpoints of the production guidance from both companies)
Details of the agreement:
• AUQ will acquire all outstanding common shares of Northgate at a ratio of 0.365:1, a 45% premium to Northgate’s shareholders. (Based on the Aug. 26, 2011, TSX 20-day volume weighted average prices of both companies)
• Unanimous approval from the Board of each company will be executed via court approved plan of arrangement, with UBS Securities Canada Inc. and GMP Securities L.P. providing oversight
• The agreement would supersede a previous arrangement between Northgate and Primero Mining Corp. (announced on July 13, 2011), because according to Northagate the AUQ agreement is a “superior proposal” (decision reached by Northgate on Aug. 28, 2011). Northgate has subsequently paid the $25M termination fee and terminated the Primero agreement.
• The Sept. 21, 2011 Northgate Shareholders Meeting has been postponed until Oct. 2011, in order to allow for transaction approval via a required sixty six and two-thirds percent vote. A similar meeting will be held by AUQ on the same date in order to obtain a majority shareholder approval.

Simulated Environment Concepts (SMEV) Translates User Benefits into Market Benefits
The list of benefits associated with SpaCapsule, the flagship automated water massage system by SE Concepts, determines the product’s markets. The range of benefits is the principal reason for the market diversity enjoyed by SpaCapsule.
SpaCapsule’s primary benefits include business as well as end-user advantages.
• Stress Relief
• Pain Control
• Cellulite Reduction
• Weight Loss
• Muscle Toning
• Lower Blood Pressure
• Circulation Enhancement
• Rehabilitation Augmentation
• Ease of Setup and Operation
• Self Contained
• Consistency of Performance
• Quick Return On Investment
• Comprehensive System Support
The many user benefits translate into market benefits, offering multiple revenue sources. The value potential inherent in just the rehabilitation, weight loss, and pain management markets is substantial, especially when considering that the company continues to build its worldwide network of contacts and partnerships.
For example, there are millions of people in the U.S. and around the world that suffer from fibromyalgia, where continuous and widespread musculoskeletal pain deeply affects the quality of life of sufferers. There is no known cure for the disease, and the focus remains on symptom mitigation, an area where SpaCapsule could play a significant role.
On an even greater scale, the global weight and cellulite reduction market is now estimated to be over $500 billion. Involving no physical exercise, and no medications, SpaCapsule represents one of the most unique approaches to this market, which helps explain its growing popularity in fitness centers and day spas.
SE Concepts anticipates ongoing royalty streams from co-branding, franchising, and business customers. The company has already established a presence in doctors’ offices, hotels, wellness centers, hospitals, airports, resorts, and other locations, and each of these individual client lists will continue to expand.

FX Energy, Inc. (FXEN) Updates Oil and Gas Operations in Europe and the United States
FX Energy, Inc. issued an operational update on the company’s oil and gas exploration and development activities in the United States and Europe.
FX Energy has a number of different prospects in Europe and recently spud a well on the 700,000 acre Kutno concession in Poland. The company believes that this concession contains several productive hydrocarbon formations that can be commercially developed.
The Kutno-2 well is targeting the Rotliegend sandstone at an approximate depth of 21,000 feet. FX Energy is using the Kutno-2 well to test a 35,000 acre section of the Kutno concession. The company is the operator and 50% owner of the Kutno-2 well, with the Polish Petroleum and Gas Mining Company owning the balance.
FX Energy reached total depth of approximately 13,800 feet on the Plawce-2 well, which is testing a tight gas formation on the Fences concession. The company found natural gas pay and is currently analyzing core samples and logs from the well. FX Energy expects the Plawce-2 well to be completed as a vertical well after a determination of the water content of the Rotliegend reservoir.
FX Energy owns a 33% working interest in 75,000 net acres in the Alberta Basin in Montana. The company is testing the Bakken formation here and has drilled two wells. The company plans two more wells before the end of 2011.

IceWEB, Inc., a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, today announced that it is preparing the launch of an innovative, high-end IceWEB storage platform that will allow for multiple performance tiers of storage in a single platform. This would allow cloud service providers to support multiple applications and services in a single cost effective platform.
International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that the networked storage market rose to $17.55 billion last year. A growing segment of that market is at the high-end as new business information increases 50% annually.
This dramatic growth is providing opportunity for everyone. Demand for unified storage systems continues to increase, growing the revenues of those who provide related products and services in the industry, while businesses now have high-speed data access to their data for making better decisions, identifying business trends, and discovering new customer preferences.
“The recent announcements of our IceWEB 6000-HA (High Availability) and 6000-HB (Hybrid) Unified Storage Platforms are major steps to meet the emerging needs of these high-performance cloud-driven customers,” said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. “And, our recent solid state drive announcements, hybrid array technology and new expansion disk shelves are all part of our master plan to increase share in this fast growing high performance market.”

Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc.’s (PSTI) PLX Cells Receive Orphan Drug Status
Friday, Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc. announced that their PLX cells had been designated with orphan status by the FDA for the treatment of thromboangiitis obliterans, or Buerger’s disease. The designation took place several days earlier, on August 22.
Pluristem is a developer of standardized cell therapy products for the treatment of life threatening diseases. Their PLX platform is used as a drug delivery system that releases proteins that take effect on inflammatory diseases in patients. Cells used in the process are grown in a 3D micro-environment that requires no tissue matching. Testing has shown that PLX cells may be effective against nerve pain, muscle damage, inflammatory bowel disease, muscular dystrophy and stroke.
Buerger’s Disease is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels of a patient’s extremities. The resultant clotting and inflammation causes a reduced blood flow to the affected area, and can lead to pain, ulcers and necrosis, requiring amputation. The disease currently affects nearly 50,000 patients through the U.S. and Europe, with no treatment available. It is estimated that the market for a drug that can combat Buerger’s could be worth $2.5 billion.
Pluristem is also pursuing an application in Europe at the EMA’s Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products.
Zami Aberman, Chairman, President and CEO of Pluristem said, “We are extremely pleased that our PLX cells have been designated orphan status by the FDA and look forward to receiving a similar designation in Europe. In anticipation of this designation, we have been working diligently in readying
clinical sites, primarily in India, where there is a high prevalence of Buerger’s. In addition, the inclusion of Buerger’s completes our plan to make our PLX cells available for the entire spectrum of peripheral vascular disorders and allows us to benefit from the market exclusivity and other regulatory and
financial advantages that accompany this designation.”

Quantum Solar Power Corp. (QSPW) Announces Appointment of Stella Guo as a Director and as VP of Corporate Development
On Friday, Quantum Solar Power Corp. announced the appointment of Ms. Stella Guo as a Director and as Vice President of Corporate Development – effective September 1, 2011. Ms. Guo will assist the Company with their operations in Asia. This includes, but is not limited to, strategic planning, developing strategic partnerships, and facilitating agreements with Asian manufacturing partners.
Under the terms of Ms. Guo’s Employment Agreement, she will receive a salary of $100,000 US annually and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Quantum Solar Power Corp.’s common stock. The Agreement is for a one-year term. It renews automatically for successive one-year periods, if no notice of termination has been provided.
Before joining Quantum Solar Power Corp., Ms. Guo was Regional Director for BP Solar. She was named by Asia Law Business magazine as “China’s Top 10 In-house Counsels.” Ms. Guo held a series of management positions over the past fifteen years with British Petroleum. This company benefited from Ms. Guo’s general management, business development, merger & acquisitions, and corporate legal expertise. Ms. Guo holds a Master in Commercial Law from the University of Melbourne in Australia, and a Bachelor in Commercial Law from SunYat-Sen University in China.
Daryl Ehrmantraut, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Solar Power Corp., said, “We look forward to working with Stella Guo in establishing our presence in China. China is working hard to establish itself as a major player in the solar power business. By 2020, China’s government is committed to raising the share of renewable energy (excluding hydroelectric power) in the energy mix to 6 percent, from their current 1.5 percent. We believe that partnerships between Chinese companies and Quantum along with our ground breaking NGD™ technology could help Chinese solar companies achieve their ambitious goals.”
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Quantum Solar Power Corp. is developing a “Next Generation Device” (NGD™) photovoltaic technology. The Company’s NGD™ is a patent pending, laboratory model that uses a new approach to solar power conversion with the potential to remove the requirement of using expensive silicon semiconductor-based technologies. The Company believes their NGD™ technology has the potential to match the efficiency of crystalline silicon PV at the cost of thin film PV. The anticipated NGD™ technology is free of any rare element dependencies found in other modern-day solar technologies. The Company believes they have the potential to create solar cells (via manufacturing collaborations) at substantially less cost per watt than current technologies. Quantum Solar Power Corp. has offices in the United States and Canada.

Aquasil International, Inc. (AQUS) is “One to Watch”
Aquasil International, Inc. is focused on engaging in the distribution of premium mineral water naturally fused with silver. Offering a unique bottled water product unlike anything currently on the market, the company is in a great position to capitalize on the well-known benefits of silver infused water. These benefits include elimination of bacteria and toxins in the body, respiratory repair, regeneration in vital organs and increased energy.
The health benefits of silver water have been known for centuries with people willing to pay large sums of money to have limited access. Aquasil is now bringing this exclusive water to every consumer, regardless of means or geography. The company’s new facilities contain state of the art bottling and filtration systems that include reverse osmosis and other proprietary purification techniques to offer consumers bottled water that’s fresh, clean and healthy.
Aquasil silver water is in a unique position to appeal to a diverse group of consumers. While organic minded individuals will value the premium water’s natural mineral state, athletes will appreciate a more natural source to increase hydration without having to consume the sugar packed sports drinks that are commonly used. For those in the military, Aquasil can bridge the gap from simple drinking water, to water that helps strengthen their immune systems for a fighting chance.
The company is currently in discussions with several major U.S. distribution channels to bring the product to market. With an already established and growing customer base in Europe, Aquasil is poised to duplicate its success in the multibillion dollar U.S. bottled water market.
