Visteon Corp. (VSTNQ.PK) Posts 43% Sales Increase in Q1 Financial Results
Visteon Corp., an automotive systems, modules and components manufacturer, today posted its first-quarter 2010, reporting solid improvement over last year’s first quarter.
For the first quarter of 2010, Visteon reported total sales at $1.9 billion, including product sales of $1.85 billion and services revenue of $58 million, a 43-percent increase over last year’s first quarter. The company attributes the increase to higher production and new business wins, increased regional sales, as well as a boost from foreign currency.
Gross margin for the first quarter was $418 million compared with $45 million a year earlier.
Visteon reported net income for the first quarter of 2010 at $233 million, or $1.79 per share, compared to net income of $2 million, or 2 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $161 million, compared with $22 million for the same period a year ago.
Donald J. Stebbins, chairman, CEO and president of Visteon, said combined influences gave a boost to first-quarter numbers and that the company remains optimistic it can continue to increase its customer and vehicle program base.
“Increased global vehicle production, combined with our ongoing operational improvements and cost-reduction efforts, drove our year-over-year financial improvement,” Stebbins stated in the press release. “We benefited from aggressive actions taken over the past year to keep our cost structure in line with significantly reduced global volumes. Although in the near term we remain concerned about European production volumes, we’re confident that our worldwide engineering and manufacturing footprint positions Visteon to support new global vehicle programs and grow with our customers around the world.”

Pyramid Oil Co. (PDO) Reports Increased Revenue Even as Latest Horizontal Exploration Well Comes up Short
As unfortunate as the recent oil drilling events in the Gulf of Mexico are, there are benefits for some established oil and natural gas development companies. These companies often find their fortunes rising and falling with the price of oil and natural gas. An investor that can find an oil and gas company which can meet demand as prices flux in the face of current events is one that will profit nicely if played correctly.
Pyramid Oil Company, an oil and natural gas exploration and development company, works to find and exploit crude oil resources in California, New York, Texas and Wyoming. The company has been in operation since 1909 and sells primarily to secondary crude oil refiners, pipeline and natural gas companies.
Perhaps the greatest benefit and detriment to the company being in operation for so long is its fully operational status. There is quite a bit of operational expense as new projects are developed and accounted for but overall price directs profitability. In the most recent reporting period, revenue increased to $971,000 from $878,000 in the same period 2008. There were certain production issues involved which reduced this revenue figure although overall they were not significant. To put these revenue figures into perspective, however, the increase in revenues reported during the period were based on $70.00 per barrel of oil. As that figure has since increased to a floating average of $85.00 per barrel, one can understand how increases in revenue might be affected.
As Pyramid Oil is an exploration and development company, the perspective investor also needs to balance the realities of price with the associated costs and success rates of exploration. Not all potential wells will yield desired results and cause a capital development decline. Overall, this is to be expected and be used as a part of the decision making process. The company, however, has been in this game for quite some time and understands how the process works. Add to this equation recent events in the Gulf of Mexico and the result becomes more positive for the company and its revenue projections in the nearer term.

Delta Mutual, Inc. (DLTZ.OB) Acquires Huge Lithium Deposit in Argentina
Delta Mutual, Inc., a company committed to increasing holdings in the energy sector; starting oil wells in Argentina’s Salta province near Güemes; and teaming up with major oil and gas firms in order to grow its sector footprint and asset production capacity, happily announced this morning the acquisition of a huge Lithium deposit which also contains other resources.
Lithium is a primary essential substance used in the manufacturing of long lasting batteries which see used in every industry, and in nearly every consumer product on the market, from cell phones to electric cars and solar cells, typically fetching a very good price as Lithium is relatively scarce and is considered by the industrialized world to be in short supply overall.
Quite a find then for DLTZ, which has affected – via an agreement with all interested parties – a 100% control position of the 350k-acre site in Argentina which, like the Company’s existing wells in North Guayatayoc, is located near a hugely successful lithium-potassium (Li-K) operation run by Dajin Resources Corp.
This operation, as a result of its similarities to the newly acquired site, leads DLTZ to understand it is now in possession of a truly world-class prospect. Furthermore, initial surface sampling conducted at various locations throughout the site, in addition to samples recovered from a small 12-meter well that was dug, clearly indicate abundant boron-potassium-lithium (B-K-Li) and its apparent relation to the existence of an ancient saltwater lake on the site.
The Company anticipates the existence of briny aquifers rich in the same elements found throughout the site, but will require a second look at seismic data (and probably some deep drilling afterwards) to prospect for the aquifers which represent a huge advantage of the site; namely, abundant water supply in conjunction with a geological system which continuously supplies the basin with the aforementioned elements.
Samples collected from different areas at 3 sites on the prospect generated the following data:
Casabindo River (currently utilized in a typical fashion by the locals for irrigation/consumption)
• Sample 1: 7.08ppm K, 0.56ppm Li
• Sample 2: 24.41ppm K, 0.15ppm Li
Maiden River
• Sample 1: 4.58ppm K, 0.01ppm Li
• Sample 2: 4.58ppm K, 0.01ppm Li
Aforementioned Well (hand-dug well used for human/animal consumption)
• 22.54ppm K, 0.15ppm Li and 253g/100mL of B

Vantage Drilling Company (VTG) is “One to Watch”
Vantage Drilling Company, an offshore drilling contractor, provides drilling services internationally with a focus on deep water and other high-specification drilling solutions. The company has built one the most experienced and dynamic teams in the industry with an unsurpassed safety program, premier offshore drilling performance, and a track record of exceptional results.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently revised its figure for global oil demand upward, now forecasting that oil demand will reach an average of 86.60 million bpd this year, a new record high. As in-land oil fields are continually depleted and demand rises in emerging economies, oil producers will be forced to find new locations and methods to extract oil.
In most recent news, Vantage reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2009. Although the company reported a net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.02 a share, it was a dramatic improvement over the previous year’s report of a $43.5 million loss, or $0.57 a share. For the whole year, Vantage reported net income of $8.8 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to a net loss of $47.4 million, or $0.78 per share, in 2008.
Analysts are very supportive of the company with three analysts rating the stock a “Buy” and two analysts rating it a “Strong Buy.” Average current estimates are that Vantage will generate revenues of approximately $222 million this year and $303 million in 2011. Earnings per share on the other hand vary greatly by opinion from -$0.06 to $0.20 for the current year and $0.14 to $0.34 next year.

Preformed Line Products Company (PLPC) Reports 1Q 2010 Earnings
Preformed Line Products Company reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010 ending 3/31/2010. The company earned $2.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2009.
Despite the drop in net income, Preformed Line Products Company reported an increase in revenue on a year over year basis, from $58.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $68.9 million in the quarter the just ended.
Management expressed frustration with the fall in net income in view of the strong revenue increase and attributed the difference to an increase in raw material costs, integration expenses associated with a recent acquisition and a weak economy in both the United States and Europe.
Rob Ruhlman, the CEO of Preformed Line Products Company, said, “Increases in our raw material costs and integration expenses related to the acquisition of Dulmison in December 2009 contributed to the decline in our operating profit. The improvement in sales as a result of adding Dulmison was offset by the continuing faltering economy in Europe as well as the ongoing economic challenges in the U.S.”
Preformed Line Products Company is headquartered in Ohio, and has three manufacturing facilities in the United States in Arkansas, New Mexico and North Carolina. The company has sales and customers in more than a dozen countries including Brazil, China and Thailand.

Artfest International, Inc. (ARTS.OB) To Purchase Multi-Million Dollar Picasso Sculpture
Artfest International, Inc. announced today that it has agreed to terms and will be purchasing an original Pablo Picasso sculpture titled “Rendering of Francoise Gilot” directly from the artist’s personal collection. Picasso, born in Spain in 1881, completed the wooden sixty-by-twenty-seven sculpture in 1949. Per the agreement, Artfest will pay $2.5 million in cash and issue 50 million warrants at $1 per share. Francoise Gilot was a staple in the collection of artwork by Picasso in the 1940s after the two met in Paris. The demand for original Picasso’s depicting Gilot has remained high to this day with prices ranging from $5 million to $150 million for the artworks. “Rendering of Francoise Gilot” was independently appraised by Eritas Fine Art Appraising and Consulting, LLC in February 2010. Their appraisal set the value between $50 and $70 million.
Artfest International has seen tremendous growth over the last year with an increase in revenues in excess of $2.2 million from the year ending 2009 as compared to the year ending 2008. This drastic increase in operating revenue is due in part to an increase in sales of art and sports memorabilia through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Charity Sports Distributor (CSD), as well as through events held at Artfest International’s 52,000 square foot facility in Dallas, Texas, and direct sales activity through its ArtFest Direct, Inc. and Art Channel Galleries, Inc. subsidiaries.
Artfest’s business plan for 2010 includes several high-end purchase plans for artwork such as the Picasso piece with a long-term goal of uplisting from the bulletin board exchange. Edward Vakser, CEO of Artfest International, Inc. was quoted as stating in the press release, “The purchase of this original Picasso art piece will increase Artfest International’s asset base as we continue to meet the requirements of becoming listed on a higher exchange such as the NASDAQ or the AMEX.”
Artfest is also generating cash through an offering of shares of Artfest Direct. In a recent press release, Artfest International announced that all Artfest International Shareholders of Record as of April 15 will receive 1 share of Artfest Direct valued at $10 per share for every 1000 shares they own of Artfest International (ARTS) on the record date. The Company will be conducting an offering of Artfest Direct shares at $10.00 per share and Artfest Direct will be capitalized with 10 million shares outstanding. The Company’s goal is to raise $10 million for the acquisition of additional fine art and sports memorabilia which will be offered directly to the public. Artfest International will be announcing details for the complete spin off and Public Offering of Artfest Direct in the near future.

HST Global Inc. is an integrated biotechnology health and wellness company that is developing and/or acquiring a network of wellness centers worldwide. The wellness centers will be primarily focused on the immunotherapy and alternative treatment of late stage cancer.
The company today announced that it has finalized the formal licensing model that will be used by its international partners in the development of its clinical treatment facilities worldwide.

Licensing fees will range between $250,000 and $500,000 and will be measured against the “drawing” population of the location.

Cosi, Inc. (COSI) Sells 13 D.C. Restaurants to Franchisee
Cosi, Inc. recently announced the sale of 13 restaurants to Capitol C Restaurants LLC for $8.4M. The restaurants, located in the Washington D. C. market, will function under a franchise operation agreement signed by both parties, and Capitol C has also begun a development agreement for the opening of an additional 6 restaurants in the D.C. market.
Cosi operates a leading nationwide chain of premium convenience restaurants specializing in select foods based on a secret recipe for deliciously shattering-crust flatbread handed down through the generations. This artisan bread is baked in front of customers in prominently located stone hearth ovens, creating a warm and urbane atmosphere which attracts the largely sophisticated, upscale clients.
That $8.4M breaks down in the following way, in accordance with terms set forth in the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement: $6.4M paid at closing; $1.4M pursuant to a 3-year note; and $0.6 held in escrow pending the satisfaction of specific conditions.
CEO of Capitol C, Richard Pawlowski, who has vast experience handling multiple-unit restaurants, commented on the unique and exciting opportunity with Cosi and praised their “delicious food, innovative menu and a great casual ambience” as a winning ticket to consumers’ hearts, and expressed his anticipation over working with Cosi to grow the brand and acquire more of the D.C. market with these welcoming, comfortable and eclectic restaurants.
President and CEO of COSI, James Hyatt, expressed his great pleasure over the deal, and at having someone of Pawlowski’s caliber join the team, because in the hectic and challenging restaurant business it is often such experiential knowledge which means the difference between success and failure.
Hyatt went on to extol the merits of Pawlowski, calling him a “seasoned operator and developer who fully understands the D. C. market”, saying Pawlowski aligned perfectly with the Company’s idea of a “perfect franchisee”, and noting that – as Cosi continues to operate a network of 11 company-owned locations in the greater D.C. area – the Company looks forward to working hand in hand with Pawlowski to grow the brand identity and extend market penetration in the D.C. area.
Hyatt characterized this transaction as a skilled, strategic move, consistent with the overarching goal of assembling an efficient group of experienced operators with proven abilities, who can seize the opportunity, when presented, by identifying premier growth areas and execute development of successful restaurants.
Hyatt also made a point of noting that the transaction is confirmation of the Company’s ability to attract the finest quality franchisees, which reinforces confidence in the growth potential of the brand and provides essential working capital that can be used to stimulate revenue growth and drive shareholder value to new heights.

Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PVCT.OB) Moving Forward with Licensure of PV-10 for Metastatic Melanoma, Successfully Concludes End-of-Phase 2 FDA Meeting
Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a development-stage biopharma specialist creating innovative new therapies for the oncology (focused on melanoma) and dermatology markets, whose leading oncology agent, PV-10, is engineered to precisely target cancer cells without harming surrounding tissues while delimiting negative side effects, announced the holding of an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA regarding licensure endpoints and the potential clinical program scope of the Company’s metastatic melanoma formulation PV-10.
Held at White Oak Campus, the FDA’s site in Silver Spring, MD, with the essential goal of creating consensus relevant to extant clinical data as to how to proceed, the meeting offered an opportunity to vet the clinical applications of PV-10, which is a proprietary, injectable formulation of a 30-year old compound called Rose Bengal, used by ophthalmologists to evaluate damage to the eye.
CEO of PVCT, Craig Dees, Ph.D., was pleased to have this valuable opportunity to go over the data amassed thus far from Phase 1 and 2 studies with PV-10, and characterized the meeting as bearing fruitful results as per “definition of the pathway leading to licensure”.
Dr. Dees acknowledged the need for a second end-of-Phase 2 meeting in the months ahead, after having consulted with FDA officials, because the crucial Phase 3 randomized controlled study design must be both perfect and in accordance with requirements in order to qualify for Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
Dr. Dees noted that the Company was indeed fortunate to be able to afford the kind of flexibility which allows them to consider either the conventional Phase 3 or an accelerated route to licensure. That is, while the Company considers Phase 3 SPA a rock-solid standard, considering the nature of the disease and data generated thus far on PV-10, the opportunity to achieve accelerated approval may also be advantageous.
Rose Bengal is a small molecule with a three-decade track record of proven safety, a short half-life in the blood, and the ability to be easily excreted by the liver and kidneys without inordinate strain to these organs. It was first selected by the Company when the substance was observed to have the capacity to selectively target cancer cells via chemoablation, killing them in a way that mimics both apoptosis and necrosis.
The Company has received FDA orphan drug designation for its leading melanoma indication, and is proceeding in Phase 2 trialing of PH-10, their leading dermatological topical treatment for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and has recently initiated Phase 1 of PV-10 for liver cancer.

That is, while the Company considers Phase 3 SPA a rock-solid standard, considering the nature of the disease and data generated thus far on PV-10, the opportunity to achieve accelerated approval may also be advantageous.

Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PVCT.OB) Moving Forward with Licensure of PV-10 for Metastatic Melanoma, Successfully Concludes End-of-Phase 2 FDA Meeting
Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a development-stage biopharma specialist creating innovative new therapies for the oncology (focused on melanoma) and dermatology markets, whose leading oncology agent, PV-10, is engineered to precisely target cancer cells without harming surrounding tissues while delimiting negative side effects, announced the holding of an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA regarding licensure endpoints and the potential clinical program scope of the Company’s metastatic melanoma formulation PV-10.
Held at White Oak Campus, the FDA’s site in Silver Spring, MD, with the essential goal of creating consensus relevant to extant clinical data as to how to proceed, the meeting offered an opportunity to vet the clinical applications of PV-10, which is a proprietary, injectable formulation of a 30-year old compound called Rose Bengal, used by ophthalmologists to evaluate damage to the eye.
CEO of PVCT, Craig Dees, Ph.D., was pleased to have this valuable opportunity to go over the data amassed thus far from Phase 1 and 2 studies with PV-10, and characterized the meeting as bearing fruitful results as per “definition of the pathway leading to licensure”.

North State Bancorp (NSBC) Reports Lower Net Income and Decline in Asset Quality
North State Bancorp reported net income of $514,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010. The bank earned $833,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2009.
North State Bancorp attributed the decline in earnings to an increase in the loan loss provision, higher premiums from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for the bank insurance fund and higher expenses due to foreclosed real estate.
Larry D. Barbour, the CEO of North State Bancorp, said, “We are pleased to report positive earnings in a difficult economy, one that has as much uncertainty as any I have experienced in my thirty-eight year banking career. Despite the economy, North State Bank remains committed to expanding relationships with current customers, as well as pursuing new customers who seek a mutually beneficial banking relationship.”
North State Bancorp reported a large increase in the percentage of non-performing assets to total assets on a year over year basis. The bank had 3.13% of its total assets classified as non-performing as of 3/31/2010, compared to 1.27% as of 3/31/2009.

OPTIMIZERx Corp. (OPRX.OB) Inks Agreement with MedAsset to Utilize Virtual Patient Support Center
OPTIMIZERx Corp., a medical and healthcare platform provider, yesterday announced it has signed an agreement with MedAssets Supply Chain Systems to allow MedAsset healthcare provider customers access to OPTIMIZER’s Virtual Sample & Support Cabinet from their computer desktops.
SampleMD is a downloadable virtual “Patient Support Center” that gives users access to a pool of national network of pharmacies to obtain sample vouchers and prescription co-pay coupons. The platform allows doctors and staff to more efficiently search, select and print or e-send sample vouchers, prescription co-pay coupons and other support information online.
“With more health systems limiting or restricting the use of samples and pharmaceutical representative access, we look forward to offering SampleMD’s innovative platform as an alternative to minimize workflow interruption within healthcare facilities while maximizing patient savings and compliance to needed medications,” Mark Miriani, president of MedAssets stated in the press release.
In the busy and time-sensitive pharmaceutical industry, SampleMD offers physicians a quick way to allocate, administer and track samples and prescription co-pay savings, eliminating the need for physicians to store physical drug samples.
Doctors can also review a drug’s status in the patient’s insurance plan to determine how much of the product is covered or reimbursed.
“The pharmaceutical industry has many outstanding programs to help patients start and stay on their medications. Unfortunately many physicians do not have access to them or are looking for an easier, more appropriate way to review and distribute them in compliance with their organization’s current goals and procedures. Working with MedAssets allows us to leverage SampleMD’s virtual technology to customize a solution that works for the healthcare provider and the patients they serve,” said David Harrell, chairman and founder of SampleMD.

Subsidiary of Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (ESSE.OB) Announces Formation of Technology Fund for Oil Shale Development
Earth Search Sciences, Inc. announced late yesterday that their subsidiary General Synfuels International, Inc. has formed Patriot’s Oil Shale Technology Fund L.P. They formed this to complete funding of the Phase 1 construction of a full-scale prototype oil shale plant under construction in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Patriot’s Oil Shale Technology Fund L.P. is a $10 million partnership of American capitalists. The objective of this research and development type partnership is to prove the patented “Omnishale©” technology General Synfuels developed can recover large amounts of oil and gas products from American oil shale and oil sands in an inexpensive, economically viable, and environmentally safe manner. General Synfuels International, Inc. /Earth Search Sciences, Inc. accepted an initial Private Placement of $2 million concerning the project.
General Synfuels International, Inc. (GSI) has boutique investment bank, NBT Capital Partners LLC, and their Chairman/Founder Tobin Smith leading the Fund. Mr. Smith stated, “NBT Capital Partners was formed to help finance transformational American companies, like GSI, dedicated to extracting precious oil and gas reserves from the massively abundant oil shale and oil sands resources we have in America with an environmentally safe technology process.”
Headquartered in Kalispell, Montana, the structure of Earth Search Sciences, Inc. is as a holding company with a number of subsidiary companies. Their focus is developing advanced technology applications for the exploration and discovery of natural resources.
Headquartered in Wellesley, Massachusetts, General Synfuels International, Inc.’s commitment is to transforming fossil fuels development and moving the U. S. toward energy independence. The Company developed and patented in-situ gasification technology, “Omnishale©”, to recover oil and gas products from oil shale, tar sands, and heavy oil.
In-situ technologies are an alternative to the environmentally detrimental and expensive strip mining approach to traditional oil shale production. The Company’s in-situ gasification technology has a minimal environmental footprint, and does not pose significant subsurface structural and groundwater contamination risks. It generates very few emissions, uses very little water, and has the potential to capture and sequester all carbon dioxide produced.

Silver America (SILA.OB) Is Now On the Board
Silver America Inc. is now one of the newest companies being traded publicly, having just officially begun trading on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board. The company also just launched its official corporate website, www.Silver-America.com.
Silver America is a precious metals exploration company, focused on the aggressive acquisition and exploration of holdings with rich potential for silver and gold production. The company has already developed a promising portfolio of properties in the U.S. and Mexico, including the following:
Keeno Strike Property (Clark County, Nevada) – Located 30 miles southwest of Las Vegas, in a mining district that has produced significant quantities of both gold and silver, and which also contains deposits of copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, and lead, the property covers 245 acres of the historic Monte Cristo mine and Keeno-mint prospect. Exploratory work will consist of testing a potential for 1.1 million ounces of gold, and 69 million ounces of silver.
Guadalupe Property (Zacatecas State, Mexico) – Located in central Mexico, in one of Mexico’s oldest mining districts, just a few miles north of the world’s richest underground silver mines, this property contains two historic mines. The Juanicipio Joint Venture, held by MAG Silver Corp. and Fresnillo plc., is only 6.8 miles to the southwest, and has an indicated resource average grade of 879 g/t of silver, which is roughly twice the grade of Fresnillo’s other producing mines in the region, making the project’s Valdecañas Vein one of the world’s highest grade undeveloped silver resources.
The demand for silver has grown steadily, fueled by increased electronics consumption and new markets, including RFID, solar, medical, and food hygiene applications. In addition, there is pressure from emerging economies, such as China and India. There is also a growing interest in silver from investors, especially via ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Gold demand also remains strong, as an investment asset, and for its traditional uses in jewelry, electronics, and dental applications.
President of Silver America, Johannes Petersen, stated the following, “We’re tremendously excited to be out of the gate. With positive market forecasts for silver and gold, and growing demand from established market uses and ETF investments, we’ve chosen the perfect time to enter the precious metals industry. Of course, our work has just begun. But with continued acquisitions, and through strategic exploration, our every expectation is one of becoming a significant producer of silver and gold to meet America’s demand.”

Vision Industries Corp.’s (VIIC.OB) Tyrano and ZETT Break New Ground
One company that is on the rise is the Vision Industries Corporation. Located in Los Angeles, California, Vision is a developer of zero emission electric/hybrid powered vehicles and turnkey hydrogen fueling systems. Today, Vision took a major step towards enhancing their future with the announcement that two of their products have obtained a U.S. Department of Energy Listing.
Vision’s Tyrano is a zero emission Class 8 electric hybrid 80,000 lb GVWR truck that is designed for local and regional drayage. The Tyrano has broken new ground because it is the world’s first street legal, zero emission, electric/hydrogen truck.
Along with the Tyrano is the Zero Emission Terminal Tractor (ZETT). The ZETT is a zero emission, electric/hydrogen hybrid, 130,000 LB. GVWR terminal tractor. Vision has joined forces with Capacity of Texas to jointly develop the ZETT. Capacity of Texas brings a great deal of credibility to Vision because they are the largest manufacturers of terminal tractors in the U.S.
Leading the way at Vision is Martin Schuermann who serves as the company’s President and CEO. Schuermann was quoted as saying, “A very large segment of our potential market does not even know that commercially viable, zero emission, heavy duty transport solutions are available in today’s marketplace. Listing with the U.S. Department of Energy not only validates our hybrid technology, but can bring much greater awareness of our products to the U.S. truck buyers. We continue to build relationships and market our vehicles to fleet operators all of which should make for an exciting 2010.”
Currently, Vision is trading in the $0.25 range. To learn more about the Tyrano, the ZETT or about the company as a whole, visit Vision’s website at: www.visionindustriescorp.com and you’ll see why so many people are talking about this up-and-coming company.

Commerce National Bank (CNBF.OB) Posts Q1 Results
Community business bank Commerce National Bank today posted its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The bank reported a net profit of $9,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $152,000, or ($0.06) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Like many other banking executives commenting on quarterly results, president and CEO Mark E. Simmons said overall financial worries affected the bank, though commercial loans and business deposits remain solid.
“While the current economic conditions are still depressed from normal levels, our bank is experiencing some growth in commercial loans and the growth in core business deposits is very positive. The small profit was after expensing a loan loss provision for the quarter of $375,000,” Simmons stated in the press release.
As of March 31, 2020, the bank reported an increase in total assets, up $19.7 million, or 8.8 percent, to $242.6 million from $222.9 million at March 31, 2009.
Net loans for the quarter decreased $9.3 million, or 6.8 percent, to $126.3 million from $135.6 million at March 31, 2009. Total deposits increased $33.1 million, or 19.9 percent, to $199.2 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $166.1 million at March 31, 2009.
Total equity decreased $6.3 million, or 18.9 percent, to $27.3 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $33.7 million for the same quarter of 2009. The bank attributes the reduction primarily to the redemption in the fourth quarter of 2009 of the preferred stock that had been issued under the terms of the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.
The bank also reported that it remains well-capitalized, with a Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets ratio of 11.1 percent at the quarter end.

Shrink Nanotechnologies, Inc. (INKN.OB) Launches NanoShrink Technology for Biological, Biomechanical and Alternative Energy Industries
Shrink Nanotechnologies Inc., a provider of materials, technology and manufacturing solutions, today announced the launch of its proprietary advanced shrinkable plastic material, to be branded under NanoShrink™.
The company owns exclusive licensing rights to several patent-pending technologies based on its proprietary manufacturing process, which will all be based, designed and deployed on its NanoShrink material.
As the name suggests, NanoShrink material naturally “shrinks” during heating, enabling complex structures to be designed at a macro-level, and then to be reduced with the same integrity and stability on a micro- or nano-scale for use in a broad range of industries.
“NanoShrink has been designed with a flexible multi-format architecture for use in the biological, biomechanical and alterative energy generation (solar) industries — with the assistance of our award-winning scientific founder Dr. Michelle Khine,” Mark L. Baum, CEO of Shrink Nanotechnologies stated in the press release.
Baum said Dr. Khine’s inventions have garnered attention in both academia and industry, and have resulted in what he calls a major breakthrough, eliminating the need for clean rooms and specific requirements needed to design devices that function at the nano scale.
“Prior to the introduction of NanoShrink, the equipment used to create the tiniest of microfluidic chips, for example, which are also known as ‘labs on a chip’ were extremely cost prohibitive. Production took days to complete and required a sterile environment. Our vision is for NanoShrink to help scientists and doctors to develop experiments and diagnostic tests to screen drugs in the drug discovery process and to assist in the identification of conditions like cancer and other infectious diseases,” he continued.
Shrink Nanotechnologies is currently seeking opportunities to get its NanoShrink products into the marketplace through strategic partnerships.
“We are now in the process of commercializing our numerous patent-pending NanoShrink-based product designs by establishing relationships with major industry players, leading academic researchers and global manufacturers in order to address each of our large and growing global markets,” Baum added.

General Environmental Management, Inc. (GEVI.OB) Water Treatment Facility Foresees Significant Growth in Oil and Gas Sector Revenues
Before the opening bell this morning, General Environmental Management Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Southern California Waste Water (SCWW), is expecting this year’s revenue from servicing oil and gas producers will increase 75% over 2009.
Tim Koziol, CEO of GEM, stated, “We are pleased that this sector of SCWW’s base business continues to grow. GEM is committed to providing the resources necessary to maximize SCWW’s opportunities in the Southern California marketplace.”
“SCWW services the oil and gas industry, domestic waste generators, and general industry,” added Doug Edwards, GEM Chief Strategy Officer and SCWW CEO. “We were initially established by several oil companies to service their needs and for almost 40 years that is all we did. Then for a period of a decade we abandoned that market in favor of domestic waste and general industry. In the past three years we have re-invested earnings to expand our capabilities to service all three sectors. The result has been very satisfying as both big and small oil operators increasingly find SCWW as the best solution to their non-hazardous wastewater disposal needs.”
Edwards explained, “The growth can be attributed to several factors, including a strong marketing presence, the rise in oil prices, vertical integration through the exclusive licensed use of PetroMax and environmental services, and improved processing capacities that enable trucks to be serviced quickly and safely. We have plans that will further extend our growth in the energy sector which we plan to announce this summer.”
Mr. Koziol further commented, “While California continues to suffer from the recent recession, SCWW’s business model of diversification and integration within the wastewater business sectors has enabled the company to not only weather the storm, but to emerge stronger than ever. Still, as California’s business outlook improves, we anticipate additional growth in domestic waste and general industry sectors.”

Consorteum Holdings Inc. (CSRH.OB) Announces Initiative to Organize Business Pursuits for Streamlined Efficiency
Consorteum Holdings, Inc. today announced its intent to divide the company into the operational divisions it has been creating over the last 12 months. The company will divide its initiatives into three main business units: Consorteum Financial Services, MyGolf Rewards, and Technology Services.
Consorteum Financial Services will target the traditional payment markets, working with established partners such as NxSystems and 8760, relationships that have already been announced. This division is anticipated to be highly lucrative, resulting in long term contracts that produce ongoing revenue streams with recurring transactions. In order to effectively manage all of the new and existing opportunities, Consorteum Holdings said it will soon announce the appointment of a Vice President of Sales to oversee this business area.
The company also provided an update within this business division relating to Blue Sea Manning which is now one month into piloting its new payroll and multi-currency program. Consorteum is now able to offer the cruise ship and private yachting industry a proven new method of international payroll and currency settlement. As previously stated, this is a pilot for a much larger initiative and will be announced shortly.
The second business unit will be MyGolf Rewards. As previously announced, the company increased its ownership position in My Golf Rewards to a controlling interest. A pilot has been successfully completed and the program is now ready for rapid expansion both in North America and Internationally. To capitalize on this venture Consorteum has engaged a prominent capital company in Toronto to raise $1.5 million.
Consorteum Holdings’ third business area is a joint venture with or acquisition of Tenzing I.M. The combination of their resources will be focused on new and emerging technology partners. Consorteum’s business with Tenzing will be completely transaction based, thus adding value to Tenzing’s existing client base.
Craig Fielding, C.E.O. Consorteum Holdings commented, “This streamlining will help considerably as we build both our company and shareholder value. We will support the initiatives outlined above with independent financing and add considerably to the value of our overall portfolio.”

CHDT Corporation (CHDO.OB) Subsidiary Introduces e Lite to Enhance eReader
Located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, Capstone is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CHDT Corporation which is engaged in the development, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution of consumer products to retailers and wholesalers throughout North America. Today, Capstone took a major step towards enhancing its future with the development of a new item called the eReader e Lite.
The e Lite was created for the many eReaders on the market today that do not provide sufficient lighting. The need for the e Lite was evident after the success of the eReader which sold an estimated 3,750,000 units in 2009 and is expected to reach 11,000,000 units in 2010.
The e Lite was launched at last month’s International Home and Housewares Show. Capstone’s management expects the item to evolve into a staple product among its line of Booklights.
The e Lite, which is the newest addition to the Pathway Lights line of products, will include features such as:
• 3 Super bright LED’s which provide wide coverage.
• Hi/Lo light settings.
• Long life LED’s that never need replacing and is cool to the touch.
• A sturdy grip that fits eReaders snugly.
The e•Lite will be featured nationally at retail locations in Q3 as the Capstone has received its first purchase order from a major mass retailer and anticipates additional commitments from other channels of distribution.
Currently, the CHDT Corporation is trading in the $0.007 range. With the addition of the e Lite from their subsidiary Capstone and other products in their pipeline, CHDT is a corporation to keep an eye on.

The e Lite was created for the many eReaders on the market today that do not provide sufficient lighting. The need for the e Lite was evident after the success of the eReader which sold an estimated 3,750,000 units in 2009 and is expected to reach 11,000,000 units in 2010.
The e Lite was launched at last month’s International Home and Housewares Show. Capstone’s management expects the item to evolve into a staple product among its line of Booklights.
The e Lite, which is the newest addition to the Pathway Lights line of products, will include features such as:
• 3 Super bright LED’s which provide wide coverage.
• Hi/Lo light settings.
• Long life LED’s that never need replacing and is cool to the touch.
• A sturdy grip that fits eReaders snugly.
The e•Lite will be featured nationally at retail locations in Q3 as the Capstone has received its first purchase order from a major mass retailer and anticipates additional commitments from other channels of distribution.
Currently, the CHDT Corporation is trading in the $0.007 range. With the addition of the e Lite from their subsidiary Capstone and other products in their pipeline, CHDT is a corporation to keep an eye on.

Innovative Designs, Inc. (IVDN.OB) Completes Insultex House-Wrap Testing
Innovative Designs Inc. manufactures apparel and other products using Insultex. Insultex is the thinnest, lightest and warmest insulator in the market today. The company announced today that it has completed the testing phase for its Insultex House-Wrap. The testing was conducted by two facilities – BRC Laboratory and Intertek Testing Services.
One important test measured the R-value. The R-value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry. It is the ratio of the temperature difference across an insulator and the heat flux through it. The R-value testing, conducted by BRC Laboratory, resulted in an R-value approaching 3. Four separate tests showed results of 2.92, 2.71, 2,89 and 2.85 with an average result being 2.84. Insultex House-Wrap will be able to offer a house wrap, with a strong R-value, at a mere 1 millimeter thickness.
Other tests were conducted by Intertek Testing and showed the following results:
Water Vapor Transmission – Insultex House-Wrap received ‘high’ water vapor transmission results.
Pliability Test – Insultex House-Wrap showed no cracking in extreme cold during this 24 hour test.
Water Resistance – The House-Wrap held 55 centimeters of water of a 5 hour period, passing the test.
Dry Breaking Force – Insultex House-Wrap passed the 20 minute test.
UV Exposure Test – Insultex House-Wrap was exposed to UV lamps for 10 hours over a 21 day period. No cracking occurred, passing the test.
Accelerated Aging Test – The wrap was oven-dried at 120 degrees F for 3 hours, followed by air-drying for 18 hours. No cracking occurred, passing the test.
Flame and Smoke Test – Insulted House-Wrap received a Flame Spread Classification rating of 10 and a Smoke Developed rating of 25.
The CEO of Innovative Designs, Joseph Riccelli commented on the test results. He said, “The results are in, substantiating what we have believed all along, we have a quality product which has the potential to revolutionize the building industry. We are now finalizing our marketing and sales plans. Insultex House-Wrap will be available in the very near future.”

IceWEB, Inc. (IWEB.OB) Integrator Partnership with Google (GOOG) Produces Turnkey Enterprise Visualization Appliance to be Distributed by Google Earth Enterprise™
IceWEB™, Inc., 16-year veteran developer of affordable/high-performance data storage, network and cloud storage systems, is a unified storage architecture provider who revealed today that it entered into a partnership with the preeminent organizer of the world’s information, Google.
The powerful and unprecedented Google Earth has quickly become a cultural staple, and the technology upon which its functions are based have become an indispensible part of the way people from the government to private sector, as well as everyday users, consume Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Google Earth Enterprise solutions have revolutionized the way we use and even think about maps.
This partnership will entail tightly integrated efforts between IWEB and Google Earth Enterprise, culminating in the delivery by IWEB of a turnkey Enterprise Visualization Appliance which is to supplement pre-fused satellite and aerial image data used in the mapping system, resulting in never-before-seen fluidity and efficiency; the Company will offer GSA Letters of Supply to existing Google GSA Schedule holders in order to accelerate and streamline Government procurement procedures.
Channel Sales Manager of IWEB, Timothy J. McNamee, noted the unparalleled reputation of Google for bringing “innovative concepts to market” which empower global enterprises as well as individual end users, and pledged the earnest efforts of the Company in creating ready-to-deploy geospatial solutions to a customer base which stretches across all sectors.
Director of Federal Sales at Google, Mike Bradshaw, asseverated by saying that the solution under development made perfect sense for any organization which wants to rapidly implement and realize the systemic improvements to their business Google Earth can provide.
VP Geospatial Solutions for DLT Solutions – a best-in-class information technology provider to government and private sector organizations, which prides itself on carrying only the top software and hardware manufacturers in each market segment from Autodesk to Oracle – Jim Helou, extolled the new solution as providing a single SKU which bundles together the server, OS, and Google Earth Enterprise Software with the pre-fused image data, and thus is able to offer breakthrough simplification of the procurement process to DLT’s customers.
Helou stated that this solution frees up substantial resources currently dedicated to the configuration of servers and sizing, which can be readily applied to serving the direct needs of their clients, and that DLT Solutions is very pleased with the product.

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (AAPH.OB) Set to Become 1k BOE Producer with Recent Acquisition of Working Interest in Oklahoma Prospect
American Petro-Hunter, Inc., with current production at two sites in Kansas (Poston Project in Trego County, and Rooney Project in Ford County) – and the tenacity of a mole with a nose for oil – has its sights squarely focused on closing the gap within a year to becoming a 1000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) producer, and toward this end has announced today further sector penetration with the acquisition of a 25% working interest in an Oklahoma-based prospect (“the Prospect”).
In exchange for 25% working interest and an 80% net revenue interest in the Prospect, AAPH has advanced $52,125 for lease acquisition and 1/4th of initial test well drilling costs, as per the requirements of the Joint Operating Agreement.
With a potential initial production well output rate of 150 barrels per day (BDP), and a sustainable multi-well (40-acre spacing) site capacity, spirits are high moving forward toward test well drilling on this Prospect located in northern OK, which should produce high-gravity light oil above 3800. Site prep work and road construction are proceeding apace, with an imminent (days) spud date (the day when drilling begins), and personnel just waiting for the rig to arrive.
Backed by strong Chinese demand, as well as other emerging markets, oil keeps trending upwards, and the declining dollar has made the crude market sweeter than ever, silencing many who have expressed concerns over relatively high supply levels.
As China sets records for oil importation (just last month again nearing records for oil consumption), infrastructural development continues unabated to sustain and drive this demand spike, creating a huge export market for domestic producers like AAPH.
The Company is dedicated to achieving laser-like focus on the goals it sets, and is firmly committed to further exploration and production growth within the industry, confident that domestic oil and gas production can provide “essential near-term” stabilization which will drive an American-made economic recovery and re-invigorate our production economy, leading to solidity within the financial system.
