Acorn Energy, Inc. (ACFN) Gains $61.8 Million from Sale of CoaLogix
Acorn Energy, Inc., an energy technology holding company, today announced a definitive agreement for the sale of its subsidiary CoaLogix for $101 million to funds managed by private equity firm, Energy Capital Partners (“ECP”). Acorn anticipates a $61.8 million pre-tax proceed, or approximately $3.53 per outstanding Acorn share. Acorn Energy owns about 65% of CoaLogix on a fully diluted basis with the balance held by EnerTech Capital and CoaLogix management.
CoaLogix is the worldwide leader in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) management services and catalyst regeneration technologies that reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in coal-fired electric utility power plants. With leading-edge technologies, a highly skilled workforce, and more than 160 years of combined senior management experience, CoaLogix works to help companies maintain compliance with stringent environmental regulations through technology, optimization and efficiency improvements. Most coal-fired utility plants in the United States use CoaLogix’s SCR catalysts and regeneration technologies creating a $1.5 billion market share in the US.
Acorn created CoaLogix in November 2007 to purchase SCR-Tech LLC and its related entities. Acorn’s original investment of $11.0 million was for 100% of CoaLogix. Later, Acorn invested an additional $7.2 million in CoaLogix for a total investment of $18.2 million. Acorn anticipates that its taxes on income for 2011, after giving effect to the transaction, will not exceed $5 million.
“Acorn provided needed resources and capital for CoaLogix to grow and become the leading US player in the SCR catalyst regeneration market over the past few years. ECP has the experience and capital to extend CoaLogix’ leading position in North America and beyond. We believe that the transaction is in the best interests of our shareholders as well as the future of CoaLogix,” stated John Moore, CEO of Acorn Energy in a press release Friday.
“We are excited to be joining forces with Energy Capital Partners and its successful track record of supporting companies across the energy sector. ECP’s substantial resources, expertise and power industry relationships will enable CoaLogix to continue to execute its aggressive expansion plans going forward,” stated Bill McMahon, CEO of CoaLogix in the recent sale announcement.

Sky Power Solutions Corp. (SPOW) Focused on Major Challenges to the Grid
One of the most serious problems facing the U.S. and other parts of the industrialized world today is the inadequacy of the electrical grid, along with the generating resources that power it. Although much has been made of the vulnerability of high-voltage electrical transmission systems to outside attack, a more systemic problem is the inherent inefficiency involved in maintaining sufficient generating capacity to meet peak electrical demand.
Since electricity is not easily stored, large scale power plants must be built with enough capacity to meet potential spikes in consumer demand, such as caused by widespread hot weather, even though those spikes may represent only a small percentage of total annual requirement. As a result, excess capacity sits dormant much of the time, while being pushed to the limit, and sometimes beyond its limit, during other times. The cost to build and constantly maintain such capacity is ultimately passed on to consumers and the nation as a whole.
Adding to this long-standing problem is the new prospect of increased demand brought on by the still uncertain use of plug-in electric cars. As major manufacturers begin to turn out larger numbers of such vehicles, the next ten years could see a million or more electricity hungry cars on the road, although the price of gas and the cost of electric cars will ultimately influence final numbers. If the cars are plugged in at night, when power usage is at a minimum, the excess capacity can be fired up to meet the new demand. But there is little doubt that many of the cars could be plugged in during the day, perhaps at new work-based charging stations.
An interesting approach to the problem is presented by Sky Power Solutions, Inc., developer of advanced electrical storage and residential solar power solutions. The company uses the newest lithium ion battery technology, together with a specially designed solar concentrating system, to provide individual users with a cost-effective and reliable source of solar electricity. The idea is that the excess power generated from the sun at the household level can be used for the individual’s own use, as well as to feed the grid, helping to alleviate the growing demand for electricity, and reduce the need for oversized power plants. Even though it would mean investment at the household level, the addition of such a decentralized resource would, it is hoped, make the grid as a whole more reliable.

Identive Group, Inc. (INVE) Selected by Leading Mobile Handset Manufacturer to Supply over One Million NFC Tags
Identive Group, Inc., a company that, through its subsidiaries, provides products and solutions in the areas of physical and logical access control, identity management, and radio frequency identification (RFID) to governments, commercial and industrial enterprises, healthcare organizations, and consumers worldwide, announced that it has been chosen by a leading mobile handset manufacturer to design and supply more than one million near field communication (NFC) tags over the next six months. The tags will be included in the box with each purchase of an NFC-enabled smart phone in order to better consumers’ daily mobile experience with various NFC applications.
“Using the NFC tags is easy,” explained Scott Austin, international sales vice president for Identive’s Transponder Division. “Touching the phone to an NFC tag automatically triggers on-phone NFC applications, such as linking to a web address or URL, dialing a specific phone number, or having a map pop up to show nearby points of interest. Including the tags in-box is a great way to introduce NFC applications to consumers. We are excited to help pioneer innovative consumer programs that promote the use of NFC for mobile applications.”
The industry standard NFC tags bring together Identive’s proprietary antenna design and RFID inlay manufacturing technology and can be read using any standard NFC phone. The tags will be deployed through Identive’s Smartag subsidiary.
“The promise of NFC is that it will both simplify and enrich our daily activities, and Identive is helping to deliver on this promise by providing the technology components to build an NFC user infrastructure for the millions of NFC-enabled devices that will become available over the next few years,” said David Holmes, Identive’s vice president of Mobility & NFC Solutions.
He added, “Identive’s NFC smart tags and labels are highly differentiated in consumer tangible features such as read range and durability. Our ability to offer high speed printing on sensitive electronic components, a large range of antenna designs and a wide variety of tags including the four standard industry types makes us a logical choice for both global and region-specific NFC programs.”

HASCO Medical, Inc. (HASC) Offers Full Array of Healthcare Solutions
Hasco Medical, Inc., a medical product and service provider aimed at improving the quality of life for its patients, offers medical devices and supplies in the following three major areas:
• Home respiratory equipment
• Home medical equipment
• Wheelchair accessible vans
As a U.S. managed healthcare provider, the Company provides a wide range of products and services with the intent of becoming a leading provider in the rapidly expanding market of home health care.
The Baby Boomer generation – born between 1946 and 1964 – currently numbers about 75 million, or almost 30 percent of the U.S. population. As this demographic ages, firms engaged in home health care equipment and service offerings see their potential for increasing profits and capturing market share.
For example, while a skilled nursing facility offers respiratory or other medical care at an average cost of $325 per day, and hospitals and ERs offer the same care for a minimum fee of $1,500 per day, home health care services can provide the same equipment, training, and servicing of that equipment over time for a mere $137.
According to a recent newspaper report, not only is home-based health care less expensive and more accessible than nursing home, hospice, or hospital care, it is fully as effective, providing identical levels of service and assistance at costs that dwarf hospital stays, many of which can bankrupt the average fixed-income retiree.
Hasco Medical’s respiratory care equipment runs the gamut from simple nebulizers which deliver a measured dose of such respiratory medications as Albuterol (used to treat asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases like emphysema), to more complex care items like oxygen concentrators and oxygen cylinders.
These oxygen delivery systems, which either collect and condense the oxygen present in the air, or deliver oxygen from a sealed and pressurized tank, offer new hope and the possibility of remaining at home for the thousands of young and old suffering from diseases like cystic fibrosis and congestive heart failure – illnesses which formerly mandated hospital or hospice care.
The Company also offers continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks, and the more complex bi-level positive airways pressure (VPAP or BiPAP) masks, both of which help those suffering from either sleep apnea or the above illnesses to get sufficient rest at night.
In addition to providing such equipment, the Company also delivers and prepares the devices, trains users or caregivers in their correct operation, and makes periodic return visits to either confirm that equipment is working properly or to fix it if needed. The Company also delivers supplies like oxygen and Albuterol sulfate cartridges.

• Home respiratory equipment
• Home medical equipment
• Wheelchair accessible vans
As a U.S. managed healthcare provider, the Company provides a wide range of products and services with the intent of becoming a leading provider in the rapidly expanding market of home health care.
The Baby Boomer generation – born between 1946 and 1964 – currently numbers about 75 million, or almost 30 percent of the U.S. population. As this demographic ages, firms engaged in home health care equipment and service offerings see their potential for increasing profits and capturing market share.
For example, while a skilled nursing facility offers respiratory or other medical care at an average cost of $325 per day, and hospitals and ERs offer the same care for a minimum fee of $1,500 per day, home health care services can provide the same equipment, training, and servicing of that equipment over time for a mere $137.
According to a recent newspaper report, not only is home-based health care less expensive and more accessible than nursing home, hospice, or hospital care, it is fully as effective, providing identical levels of service and assistance at costs that dwarf hospital stays, many of which can bankrupt the average fixed-income retiree.
Hasco Medical’s respiratory care equipment runs the gamut from simple nebulizers which deliver a measured dose of such respiratory medications as Albuterol (used to treat asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases like emphysema), to more complex care items like oxygen concentrators and oxygen cylinders.
These oxygen delivery systems, which either collect and condense the oxygen present in the air, or deliver oxygen from a sealed and pressurized tank, offer new hope and the possibility of remaining at home for the thousands of young and old suffering from diseases like cystic fibrosis and congestive heart failure – illnesses which formerly mandated hospital or hospice care.
The Company also offers continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks, and the more complex bi-level positive airways pressure (VPAP or BiPAP) masks, both of which help those suffering from either sleep apnea or the above illnesses to get sufficient rest at night.
In addition to providing such equipment, the Company also delivers and prepares the devices, trains users or caregivers in their correct operation, and makes periodic return visits to either confirm that equipment is working properly or to fix it if needed. The Company also delivers supplies like oxygen and Albuterol sulfate cartridges.

Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) Collaboration Agreement with Delta Power Solutions Announced
Ballard Power Systems announced Wednesday execution of a collaboration agreement between Delta Power Solutions of India and Ballard’s wholly-owned subsidiary Dantherm Power to market clean energy power solutions using fuel cells in India. The deal is aimed at supplying backup power to telecom companies.
Dantherm and Delta will work together to establish and conduct field trials of Dantherm’s direct hydrogen 2-kilowatt (kW) DBX2000 fuel cell system as well as its 5kW DBX5000 fuel cell system, along with its systems control platform “Site Management & Control System”. Delta, a subsidiary of Thai company Delta Electronics, will monitor the test installations remotely at their network operations center.
Ballard CEO John Sheridan said the following, “This agreement represents an effective, managed approach to backup power market development in India. Delta will leverage its existing telecom industry relationships in order to identify interested customers, and Delta will provide on-the-ground support throughout the trial period. Onsite expertise and customer support is the key to gaining traction with solutions that are new to the market, such as fuel cells in the India telecom sector.”
Ballard expects the field trials to give a better picture of the Indian commercial fuel cell market and help identify the optimal fuel cell solutions. After that determination, Delta would be relied upon to create further marketing inroads through sales, distribution, and servicing in India.
Delta’s managing director Dalip Sharma expects the deal to be profitable for both companies. “We are very pleased to be working with PEM fuel cell products from premier providers such as Dantherm Power and Ballard. This collaborative partnership has all the right elements for a successful evaluation of the market opportunity and for potentially large-scale product roll-out down the road,” he said after the deal was signed.
Delta has a strong presence in India, serving telecom giants Indus, Bharti, Vodafone, Reliance and Idea Cellular, and is a leading provider of power management and thermal management solutions, as well as a major source for components, visual displays, industrial automation, networking products and renewable energy solutions. With sales offices worldwide and manufacturing plants in Taiwan, China, Thailand, Japan, Mexico, India, Brazil and Europe, the press release notes that it‘s “a global leader in power electronics… [and has] implemented green, lead-free production and recycling and waste management programs for many years.”

White Mountain Titanium Corp. (WMTM) Enters First Off-Take Agreement for the Supply of Natural Rutile Concentrate
On Thursday, White Mountain Titanium Corp. reported that they entered into their first off-take agreement with a major international pigment producer for the supply of natural rutile concentrate from the Cerro Blanco project.
Mr. Mike Kurtanjek, White Mountain Titanium Corp.’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “Signing this first off-take agreement represents another important milestone for the Company. Whilst off-take deliveries are dependent on us completing a positive feasibility study and arranging production finance, our product is finding acceptance in the market place and this acceptance is coming at a time of feedstock supply shortages and robust rutile prices.”
With this agreement, the pigment producer will purchase 25,000 tonnes annually of the Company’s standard grade, natural rutile concentrate at $1200 per tonne FOB port. This price is reflective of current market competitive pricing. Deliveries must start no later than September 2014 and would run to December 2016. The term of the agreement may then undergo extension through mutual agreement.
White Mountain Titanium Corp. management is in active discussions with other titanium pigment in addition to metal and welding rod producers for the supply of all three grades of Cerro Blanco concentrate.
Headquartered in Santiago, Chile, White Mountain Titanium Corp. holds mining concessions on the Cerro Blanco property. They hold 33 registered mining exploitation concessions and five mining exploration concessions in the process of being constituted. This is over approximately 8,225 hectares located approximately 39 kilometers west of the City of Vallenar in the Atacama, or Region III, geographic region of northern Chile.
Their principal objectives are to advance the Cerro Blanco project towards a final engineering feasibility, and to secure off-take contracts for the planned rutile concentrate output. Their intention is to sell the rutile concentrate to titanium metal and pigment producers. Work also continues to investigate the commercial viability of producing a feldspar co-product. This feldspar could find applications in the glass as well as ceramics industries.

Technicolor to Buy Cinedigm (CIDM) Digital Delivery Assets
French firm Technicolor is set to acquire key Cinedigm assets and a minimum of 300 incremental satellite roof rights. The plan is part of Technicolor’s deployment of its North American digital cinema equipment and will give Technicolor about a 40% increase in market footprint, with its satellite network expanding to more than 1,100 locations in the United States and Canada.
The deal is unusual in that no financial details have been disclosed. But under its terms, Technicolor will become Cinedigm’s preferred content servicing partner, including post production and distribution services. Cinedigm’s main role under the arrangement appears to be that of research and development of next generation entertainment industry software. Also included is Technicolor’s licensing of Cinedigm’s CineSuite digital delivery tools and their CineXpress trailer distribution software.
The deal is expected to wrap up in September of this year, subject to the execution of definitive documents and satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The late-day press release called the deal “a strategic software design partnership between the two companies… expected to provide superior service and value, with greater scale and functionality, to the combined studio distribution customers of each Company.” It’s seen by the companies as an effort to take advantage of opportunities offered by a growing global cinema conversion to digital.
Wednesday’s statement hints that Cinedigm might be developing an appetite for acquisitions too: “The companies intend to expand their delivery agreement as Cinedigm’s content distribution business grows organically and through acquisitions.” Part of Cinedigm’s business model includes alternative and independent film distribution.
In announcing the deal, Cinedigm CEO Chris McGurk said, “Technicolor is the market leader and highly respected in the delivery business, with strong customer relationships both domestically and internationally that will allow Cinedigm to expand our software and content distribution businesses faster and more effectively [and] by providing Technicolor access to Cinedigm’s leading software and delivery tools like CineXpress, Technicolor will enhance its position as a global innovator and become an even stronger player in its core delivery business. This is a perfect strategic alliance.”
Echoing McGurk’s view, Technicolor CEO Frederic Rose observed that the transaction “will allow our Digital Cinema business to expand its market-leading electronic distribution footprint while continuing to provide the highest level of quality and security to our studio clients.”

STWA, Inc. (ZERO) is “One to Watch”
STWA, Inc. creates technology focused on energy efficiency of large-scale energy production and improved fuel economy for diesel fleets. Their patented and patent pending technologies include AOT™ (Applied Oil Technology), under development with Temple University, and ELEKTRA™ (for Improved Diesel Engine Efficiency). STWA, Inc. has their headquarters in Santa Barbara, California.
STWA’s technology has two primary commercial applications. One is reducing pipeline operation costs. The other is reducing fuel consumption costs. STWA™, together with Temple University, developed a plan for use of the Company’s technology at major oil and oil service companies and by divisions of the U.S. defense department.
The Company’s technologies provide efficient and cost-effective means of improving the efficacy of crude oil transport and diesel engine efficiency. These are to assist in meeting worldwide increasing energy demands and emission quality standards. Applications include AOT™ Crude oil extraction & delivery systems; and ELEKTRA™ Diesel trucks, trains, marine vessels, military fleets and jet turbines.
AOT™ reduces the viscosity of crude oil. It increases flow rates and lowers the energy requirements for pipeline transmission systems. ELEKTRA (also being co-developed with Temple University) improves diesel engine performance, reducing emissions and improving fuel economy by assisting in fuel atomization just before combustion. This technology expands upon the physics principles employed by the Company’s Applied Oil Technology for diesel fuel and its derivatives.
Yesterday, STWA, Inc. announced that they are exploring marketing and development relationships for their Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) product and seeking an oil industry partner for full commercialization.
Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, CEO of STWA, Inc., commented, “With testing at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) underway and preliminary results forthcoming, we feel that we are ready to start discussions with marketing and development partners who can help us bring the technology into commercial production and distribution. Our relationship with Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) has been extremely beneficial in identifying interested potential partners. We’ve also had interest from groups outside of PRCI and we are exploring all of our options at this time.”

Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO) Secures $3.25M in Financing to Develop Rare Earth Resources
Green Technology Solutions successfully fuses together cutting-edge cleantech solutions with parallel interests in rare earth and precious metals exploration via the Company’s Rare Earth Exporters division. The Company announced today closing of a $3.25M financing agreement to further develop and evaluate rare earth minerals with the goal of advancing those projects to profitability.
CEO of GTSO, John Shearer, made an argument with unshakeable logic: rare earth minerals are the cornerstone of modern technologies and thus are an incredibly valuable resource, whether we are talking cell phones and iPads, or wind turbines, solar cells and electric car batteries. Shearer’s dedication to advancing extant rare earth projects to fruition with the financing was made clear.
Rare earth minerals were recently identified as a key strategic resource for the US and the Company’s own work in Mongolia and other target-rich hot spots will potentially help fuel the economy moving forward. The Company has agreements in place for some 17k acres of prime mineralized acreage in Mongolia which has been identified by GTSO as having significant commercial production value.
Recent announcements by China, which currently accounts for a whopping 90% or more of the global inputs for rare earths, of curtailing exports has sent prices through the roof and created a clear market vector for companies like GTSO. The facts are we need rare earths to fuel the future of the US market and world markets alike, China’s policy is clear and thus the potential for developments related to this new financing for GTSO cannot be underestimated.
A massive opportunity here for GTSO and others to seize solid and ever more stable footing in what is an inescapable market pipeline. Mongolia and even sites within the US are clearly positive targets for development and ultimately having access to rare earths will place GTSO as a leading green/clean-tech developer in a particularly dynamic position.

CEO of GTSO, John Shearer, made an argument with unshakeable logic: rare earth minerals are the cornerstone of modern technologies and thus are an incredibly valuable resource, whether we are talking cell phones and iPads, or wind turbines, solar cells and electric car batteries. Shearer’s dedication to advancing extant rare earth projects to fruition with the financing was made clear.
Rare earth minerals were recently identified as a key strategic resource for the US and the Company’s own work in Mongolia and other target-rich hot spots will potentially help fuel the economy moving forward. The Company has agreements in place for some 17k acres of prime mineralized acreage in Mongolia which has been identified by GTSO as having significant commercial production value.

Most Publicly Traded Companies are Making a Huge Mistake
Wouldn’t an investor that owned 10-20% of a company be entitled to management’s attention? Of course he would as his or her decisions could easily have a material effect on the company’s operations and ability to grow. Why then do so many publicly traded companies ignore the retail investor market when the segment represents a significant portion their shareholder base?
Of course, most of these companies do not even realize the mistake they are making. There are 30,000+ institutions in the world, each with stock purchasing power that far exceeds the typical retail investor. To them it is simply a matter of resource management; as workloads increase and budgets decline, it would only make sense to focus on institutions with more buying power.
However, the individual investor audience represents trillions of dollars in investable assets and it would be a mistake to completely ignore it. Because the most attractive segment of this audience makes investment decisions based on research and fundamentals, they often have long time horizons and become long term shareholders. Companies shouldn’t question the value of these individual investors.
As an information distribution and investor relations company, we understand the importance of the average retail investor and work hard to connect the community with companies that have huge potential to succeed in the short and long-term future. We offer several ways for investors to learn more about investing in these companies as well as find and evaluate them.

Small Cap Voice Featured Company: Westmont Resources, Inc. (WMNS)
Westmont Resources has made a name for itself by focusing on extracting additional value out of existing oil and natural gas properties. The Company uses a strategy of acquiring and then improving resource sites, assets and companies within the production and service sector for oil and gas, with the overall goal of stitching them all together as a powerful development network.
The key edge employed by WMNS is advanced proprietary extraction technologies like EcoRecovery4™, which is basically green-fracking with biodegradable/organic inputs like the Company’s all-natural, 100% biodegradable FracSolv™. The Company is very confident that they can exploit this low-risk/high-yield approach, achieving a potent growth vector thereby.
Current operations include:
• Marcellus and Chattanooga Shale – 92 leased wells in TN, 60 wells in PA and 60 wells in WV, for a total projected post-workover production of 1,475 BPD with some 23,750 Mcf per day, expected to yield anticipated pretax earnings in the 28-24% range.
• San Miguel Tar Sands – Rights acquired to a 25-well drilling program with proven heavy oil reserves of roughly 3B barrels. Initial engagement is planned as a joint venture agreement with the landowner utilizing Eco-Recovery4. Total projected out of 3,750 BPD with some 625 Mcf per day.
Superior, green extraction technology has attracted a great deal of attention, leading to deals like the European Bond funding scheme developed in conjunction with Regency Financial Group, Inc., to help drive platforms like EcoRecovery4 to a new level of dominance and ubiquity within the sector.

Soligenix, Inc. (SNGX) to Receive Up to $16 Million for Its orBec Drug
Soligenix, Inc. is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing products to treat life-threatening side effects of cancer treatments and serious gastrointestinal diseases, in addition to vaccines for certain bioterrorism agents.
The company announced today the expansion and amendment of its North American licensing partnership with Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals for the development and commercialization of its lead product orBec (oral beclomethasone dipropionate or Oral BDP) into the European market. Its orBec product is a potent, locally acting corticosteroid being developed for the treatment of acute gastrointestinal Graft-versus-Host-disease (GI GVHD), common and potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation.
As part of the amended agreement, Sigma-Tau has made a $5 million upfront payment to Soligenix. In addition, it will make additional payments to Soligenix totaling $11 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones. The first milestone, a $2 million payment, will be made upon the successful completion of the confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of orBec.
Sigma-Tau will also pay Soligenix a 40% royalty on net sales pursuant to which Soligenix will supply the drug while maintaining worldwide manufacturing rights. Additionally, all commercialization expense for expansion into Europe, including launch expenses, will be borne by Sigma-Tau. This will occur once orBec is approved for sales in Europe, which is expected shortly.
For further information on Soligenix and its orBec drug, visit the company’s website at www.soligenix.com

Stratus Media Group, Inc. (SMDI) Appoints Two Executives
Live entertainment company Stratus Media Group, Inc. announced today that it has appointed Larry Peters as VP of Sponsorship Sales and Bret Johnson as Executive Director of Branded Partnerships. Peters and Johnson bring over 30 years of collective leadership in sales and business development to Stratus. Both associates work out of the SDMI Los Angeles office.
“We are pleased that Larry and Bret have come aboard as new members of our expanding company and leadership team,” said Paul Sewell, SVP Global Marketing at Stratus. “Their combined success in sports, entertainment, and multimedia event platforms will extend our ability to create brand marriages with our world class live entertainment portfolio.”
With over fifteen years of industry experience, Peters has notable accomplishments, making him an important figure in the industry. He was instrumental in the growth of SFX/Clear Channel Entertainment and in the development of concert based sponsorships, including content driven integration within action sports and youth lifestyle entertainment with ASA Entertainment and The World of Dance Tour. Peters has worked with some of the world’s leading brands, including Anheuser-Busch, U.S. Marine Corps, Coca Cola, and Dodge.
On his new position, Peters remarked, “Joining Stratus Media Group represents a tremendous opportunity for me personally and professionally. SMDI is on the cutting edge of where the media and brand marketing landscape is headed globally, and I am thrilled to be a part of building our future in sales development.”
Also with fifteen years of experience, Johnson has honed his expertise in brand alliances with sports media and building consumer touch points. He began his career as Co-Producer and host, while spearheading Sales & Marketing at Planet X Television, a pioneer in action sports programming, combining celebrity driven sports and music content at a time when extreme sports and reality TV were burgeoning. Most recently, Johnson served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Rockstar Energy Drink, Inc. He created new distribution partnerships and paired the brand with blockbuster artists and sports teams like the Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, the NFL and NBA.
“We’re in a dynamic developmental stage as a globally minded, fast growing company,” said Johnson, “I thrive on creating partnerships that have meaning as we extend our commitment to change the world of live entertainment.

Scorpex, Inc. (SRPX) Prepares to Capitalize on Mexico’s Waste Disposal Industry
The market for hazardous and industrial waste naturally increases in correlation with growth of the human population. Landfills have long been the method of waste disposal, but below the surface of the layers of dirt “hiding” our waste, reactions take place that create long-term environmental problems.
This is where Scorpex steps in. The company is executing its operational mission to own and operate a full-service waste disposal and recycling company. Its first facility will be located on a 26-acre property just outside Ensenada, Mexico, ironically less than three miles from the region’s current landfill. The property will house ten hazardous waste storage structures, with the first storage facility 80 percent complete.
Scorpex has partnered with IET of Danville, Ky., for the installation of a waste gasification plant on site. The IET solution is a thermal oxidation process that takes waste, transported by waste haulers, and drops it into an air-tight gasification cell. Once the cell is closed, the system is activated and the temperature of cell is raised to 800 degrees, without the presence oxygen. The waste is then turned into smoke, dust-free gas, and vented into secondary processor where it is mixed with room air and then ignited by pilot burners that creates hot air flow. This hot air stream can be reclaimed to create hot water and steam.
This gasification method burns off 95% of the waste’s volume, and allows for immediate processing of waste as it arrives at the plant. Even though the process is essentially emission free, IET provides their own scrubber design for all projects to give extra protection regardless of the contaminant. With so many great features, detailed in a recent press release, and full support included, it is obvious that Scorpex did their due diligence prior to selecting the required processing equipment for their operations.

Dunkin’ Brands Group (DNKN) IPO as Hot as Its Coffee
This week’s biggest IPO offered some hot trading Wednesday as shares of Dunkin’ Brands Group, the parent company of Dunkin’ Donuts, soared well past its $19 IPO price, to close at nearly $27.85, based on the company’s recognized potential for still unrealized domestic expansion.
Founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts, the company began franchising in 1955, and is now approaching 10,000 stores worldwide. About 2/3 of Dunkin’ stores are in the U.S., the vast majority of which are in the East. The lack of stores in the West is viewed as a prime opportunity for increased domestic branding and growth, with the chain looking to roughly double the number of U.S. stores over the next two decades.
Dunkin’ feels it’s in a strong position to take on Starbucks and McDonald’s, both of which are now considered focused more on the international market. Surprising to many is the fact that Dunkin’ Donuts is America’s largest retailer of coffee-by-the-cup, serving nearly a billion cups each year. Although the company also sells bagels, breakfast sandwiches, danishes, and, of course, all kinds of donuts, coffee provides the majority of its revenue, including grocery sales. The original proprietary coffee blend recipe used in 1950 is still the one used today, the foundation for a customer brand loyalty exceeding that of its competition.
Although planned growth is impressive, the strategy is to be careful, to ensure successful franchises as it expands on its largely working-class customer base. Its target market, in contrast to Starbuck’s target for higher-priced offerings, could stand it well during tough economic times. In addition, Dunkin’ Brands other major brand, Baskin-Robbins, is now under new management, and is seen as already undergoing a turn-around.

Founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts, the company began franchising in 1955, and is now approaching 10,000 stores worldwide. About 2/3 of Dunkin’ stores are in the U.S., the vast majority of which are in the East. The lack of stores in the West is viewed as a prime opportunity for increased domestic branding and growth, with the chain looking to roughly double the number of U.S. stores over the next two decades.
Dunkin’ feels it’s in a strong position to take on Starbucks and McDonald’s, both of which are now considered focused more on the international market.

Scorpex, Inc. (SRPX) Details Recently Announced $30 Million Equipment Agreement
Scorpex, Inc., an emerging leader of industrial, hazardous and toxic waste disposal services in the Baja Mexico/California region, today announced additional details of its recently announced major equipment contract signed with International Environmental Technologies, Inc. (“IET”) for the acquisition and installation of waste gasification/thermal oxidation equipment as well as a license to use the technology.
Scorpex has agreed to a total purchase price of USD$30,000,000. As terms of the agreement, the purchase price will be paid in four payments: USD$9,000,000 upon the release of funds from the lender; USD$9,000,000 upon IET’s delivery to Scorpex of a certification that the shop drawings and other engineering work for the installation of the Equipment has been completed; USD$9,000,000 upon IET’s delivery to Scorpex of a certification that the erection of the steel framework for all two units has been completed; and USD$3,000,000 upon the final check out, testing of the unit and commissioning.
IET will install the equipment, train supervisory personnel to operate and maintain the equipment, provide a set of spare parts and issue certificates of completion. In addition, IET will provide a warranty for the equipment installed, ensuring that the equipment will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. If malfunction is reported within the warranty period, IET will repair or replace the defective or non-conforming part at no charge to Scorpex.
As stated in yesterday’s press release, IET’s proprietary technology can process waste simultaneously without presorting. The system is virtually silent and without odors, capable of reducing waste volume 95%. The system also features a lower capital investment than competition as well as lower operating costs. With an average construction time of only six to twelve months, Scorpex said it anticipates commencing full operations before the previously projected time frame.
Chief Executive Officer Joseph Caywood commented, “As I said previously, we have made remarkable progress and are very excited to be moving forward so quickly with our business strategy. Signing such a major equipment contract at the dawn of establishing our first waste disposal and processing plant is yet another strong vote of confidence by others who have chosen to join our initiative to address Mexico’s growing demand for industrial, hazardous and toxic waste management.”

California Community Bank (CABK) Releases Unaudited Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
On Wednesday, California Community Bank released their unaudited second quarter 2011 financial results. For the second quarter of 2011, they reported net income of $212,000, or basic earnings per share of 10 cents. This is in comparison to net income of $338,000, or basic earnings per share of 16 cents, for the comparable period of the prior year. Net income for the first six months of the year was $381,000, or basic earnings per share of 18 cents, versus net income of $598,000, or basic earnings per share of 28 cents, for the first six months of 2010.
California Community Bank’s provision for income taxes amounted to $295,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011. Their earnings were not fully taxable for the comparable period last year and therefore, they allocated no provision. Concerning pre-tax income, the Bank reported $676,000 for the first half of 2011. This is in comparison to $598,000 for the comparable period in 2010, a year-over-year increase of $78,000, or 13 percent, between the two periods.
They finished the second quarter of 2011 with an asset base of $235,705,000. This represents an increase of $17,149,000, or 8 percent, from the end of June 2010. Total deposits were $209,694,000, up $18,832,000, or 10 percent, over the same period a year prior. As of June 30, 2011, total gross loans net of deferred fees (the primary revenue driver for the Bank) stood at $154,157,000. This is in comparison to $158,465,000 at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $4,308,000, or 3 percent.
Mr. Larry D. Hartwig, CEO, commented, “We are pleased to report that a combination of reduced funding costs and strategic loan portfolio management continues to be effective in delivering improved operating results. Despite an increase in non-performing loans, asset quality remained at a very manageable level during this slowly healing economy – and the organic growth of core deposits drove a 27 percent year-over-year reduction in our interest expense.
“Overall, we ended the quarter with over $235 million in total assets and recorded a small increase in year-to-date net interest income on reduced loan outstandings. The year-to-date story continues to reflect that profitability has been limited by excess liquidity, quality loan growth is still a challenge, operating costs are well controlled, and there are few attractive investment alternatives in securities. Our efforts did allow us to experience moderate loan growth during the first half of 2011, although throughout most of 2010, loan demand reflected the prevailing negative economic headwinds contributing toward the year-over-year decline in our loan portfolio. All of this is evidence of a sluggish recovery in the local economy. Management remains focused on normalized profitability and continued expense control for the year ahead. We have confidence in the core strengths of our franchise and continue to aggressively manage loan quality with the expectation of economic growth obtaining greater traction in the future.
Mr. Hartwig commented further, “Capital ratios remain very strong and we continue to seek quality loan originations to augment our conservatively underwritten loan portfolio. In this economy, we also know that loan growth must be driven by market share gains rather than by increased economic activity. We also want to recognize the valuable contributions of our highly professional staff in making California Community Bank a premier bank committed to providing our customers with ‘Real Solutions. Personally Delivered’.”
Headquartered in Escondido, CA, California Community Bank is a full service commercial bank. Currently, they operate four branches; these are in Escondido, Encinitas, San Diego, and Vista, California. The Bank opened for business on August 11, 2003, and on November 26, 2003, they went public on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (SNWV) is “One to Watch”
SANUWAVE Health, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company is focusing on the development and commercialization of noninvasive, biological response activating devices for the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures. Their product and product candidate portfolio activate biologic signaling and angiogenic responses, including new vascularization and microcirculatory improvement, helping to restore the body’s normal healing processes and regeneration.
SANUWAVE intends to apply their PACE technology in wound healing, orthopedic/spine, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac conditions. The Company’s lead product candidate for the worldwide wound care market is dermaPACE. This product has CE marking for the treatment of the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue. It recently completed its positive pivotal Phase III, Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial in the United States for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
The Company researches, designs, manufactures, markets and services their products globally. They believe they have demonstrated that this technology is safe and effective in stimulating healing in chronic conditions of the foot (plantar fasciitis) and the elbow (lateral epicondylitis) through their U.S. Class III PMA approved Ossatron® device. They also believe they have demonstrated that this technology is safe and effective in stimulating bone and chronic tendonitis regeneration in the musculoskeletal environment through the utilization of their Ossatron, Evotron™ and orthoPACE® devices in Europe.
Yesterday, SANUWAVE Health, Inc. announced that their dermaPACE® is the subject of a Continuing Medical Education (CME) accredited presentation at the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) 2011 National Meeting being held July 26-28, 2011 in Boston. The presentation is titled “Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression Technology in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Sham-controlled, Double-blinded, Randomized Clinical Trial.” The presentation highlights and expands on the dermaPACE pivotal Phase III clinical trial results.
Christopher M. Cashman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SANUWAVE Health, Inc., said, “The results for dermaPACE are compelling. Diabetic foot ulcers treated with dermaPACE, in general, immediately stabilized and did not worsen. These ulcers quickly reduced in size and continued to full closure in a significantly greater proportion than ulcers in the comparative Sham-control group. Ulcers closed with dermaPACE didn’t tend to recur, and dermaPACE procedures were shown to be safe and were associated with a lower overall incidence of infection.”

Sanuwave Health, Inc.’s (SNWV) dermaPACE® To Be Highlighted in CME Presentation at APMA 2011
Sanuwave Health Inc., a medical technology company, focuses on the development and commercialization of non-invasive, biological response activating devices in the regenerative medicine area for the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal, and vascular structures. Today the company announced dermaPACE® will be highlighted in a Continuing Medical Education (CME) accredited presentation at the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) 2011, which is to be held July 26-28 in Boston. Podiatrists are doctors who provide treatment for conditions that affect the ankle and foot, which includes soft tissue disorders such as diabetic foot ulcers.
The presentation, which is titled “Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression Technology in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Sham-controlled, Double-blinded, Randomized Clinical Trial,” will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 2:30-3:00 p.m. Eastern time. The presentation will showcase and expand upon the dermaPACE pivotal phase III clinical trial results, which includes: dermaPACE subjects reached a statistical significance in 100% wound closure compared to Sham-control beginning at 20 weeks (p=0.018) and continuing on through 24 weeks (p=0.022); within the 6 weeks that followed the initial dermaPACE procedure, and consistently throughout the 24-week analysis period, dermaPACE has drastically decreased the size of the ulcer compared with subjects randomized to receive Sham-control; dermaPACE was linked with an extremely low rate of ulcer recurrence at a 24 week mark (4.5%); and dermaPACE was shown to have an excellent safety profile, which includes a reduction in infection.
The presentation will be delivered by Vickie R. Driver, DPM, MS, FACFAS; Associate Professor of Surgery; Director, Clinical Research Limb Preservation and Wound Healing; and Director, Research Fellowship and International Scholars Program, Boston University Medical Campus and Boston University School of Medicine, and one of the principal investigators on the recently concluded Phase III, Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial for dermaPACE for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
SANUWAVE Health will be displaying dermaPACE and the strongly compelling clinical data from its Phase III clinical trial about the diabetic foot ulcers at Exhibit Booth #620 throughout the meeting.
Christopher M. Cashman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SANUWAVE, said, “The results for dermaPACE are compelling. Diabetic foot ulcers treated with dermaPACE, in general, immediately stabilized and did not worsen. These ulcers quickly reduced in size and continued to full closure in a significantly greater proportion than ulcers in the comparative Sham-control group. Ulcers closed with dermaPACE didn’t tend to recur, and dermaPACE procedures were shown to be safe and were associated with a lower overall incidence of infection.”
“We already know that dermaPACE procedures can be delivered at a much lower cost to the healthcare system than existing advanced wound treatment modalities – and with improved ease of use and convenience for both clinicians and patients. These highly positive dermaPACE study results complete the picture and position dermaPACE well for early adoption and widespread utilization. We are pleased to have these results presented in the first nationally accredited CME presentation at an annual scientific meeting,” concluded Mr. Cashman.

The presentation, which is titled “Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression Technology in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Sham-controlled, Double-blinded, Randomized Clinical Trial,” will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 2:30-3:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Trius Therapeutics, Inc. (TSRX) Receives $25 Million Upfront from Bayer Healthcare for Collaboration on Antibiotic to Fight Bacterial Infectious Diseases in Emerging Markets
Trius Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative antibiotics for life-threatening infections, today announced that Bayer Healthcare will pay $25 million upfront as well as 25 percent of future development costs to develop and commercialize Trius’s lead Phase 3 antibiotic, torezolid phosphate (torezolid). In addition, Trius is eligible to receive up to $69 million upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones and will receive double-digit royalties on net sales of torezolid in the licensed territory.
The two companies aim to get global approval for torezolid as the drug of choice to combat acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and pneumonia. Bayer will get the opportunity to sell the antibiotic in all countries in Asia including China and Japan, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, but excluding North and South Korea. Trius will maintain full development and commercialization rights for the product outside those areas including the United States, Canada and the European Union.
“Bayer’s commitment to the infectious disease area and their depth and breadth of experience in these markets makes them an ideal partner for Trius,” Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., President and CEO of Trius stated in today’s press release. “At the same time, consistent with our strategy, we have retained rights to the U.S. and E.U. markets where life-threatening infections from MRSA and other gram positive pathogens continue to be a significant concern.”
The antibiotic , torezolid phosphate, is an IV and orally administered second generation oxazolidinone in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of ABSSSI, the first such trial to be initiated under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). Trius holds an exclusive license to torezolid phosphate for territories outside of North and South Korea from Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. In addition to the company’s torezolid phosphate clinical program, it is currently conducting three preclinical programs using its proprietary discovery platform to develop antibiotics to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria.
“Bacterial infectious diseases represent one of the largest therapeutic areas in China and continue to grow rapidly there and in other emerging markets. This collaboration is a key element in our strategy of bringing innovative medicines to patients, especially in emerging markets,” Dr. Jorg Reinhardt, Chairman of the Board of Management of Bayer HealthCare, said in the press release.
The Bayer Group is a global enterprise with core competencies in the fields of health care, nutrition and high-tech materials. Bayer HealthCare, a subgroup of Bayer AG, is one of the world’s leading, innovative companies in the healthcare and medical products industry. Bayer HealthCare’s aim is to discover and manufacture products that will improve human and animal health worldwide.

Success of Airline Intelligence Systems, Inc. (ASYI) is Based on New Solution to Old Problem
The radical new business planning system for airlines, jetEngine BPS, from Toronto based Airline Intelligence Systems, Inc., represents for airlines one of the most cost effective efficiency enhancement systems available anywhere. Brand new to the marketplace, jetEngine BPS owes its existence to the founders of AI Systems, Stephen Johnston and Roy Miller. The history of its development begins with its inventor, Roy Miller.
Roy Miller is a mathematician with over 30 years of experience as a senior systems architect, and a special affinity for Operations Research, an advanced mathematical approach for designing complex decision making and scheduling systems. Roy, a pioneer in the development of what is called Type III scheduling systems, was awarded a US Patent in 1995 for Resource Allocation Methods, in which he developed the Dynamic Adaptive N-Dimensional Scheduling engine. In 2000, he joined Microsoft Corporation, when it acquired the company that owned the patent. The technology later went on to form the basis for MS Project 2002/3, a product which currently generates over $600 million in revenue each year.
Roy left Microsoft in 2003, returning to Toronto where he created the foundation for what eventually became jetEngine BPS, a revolutionary combination of advanced mathematics and computer technology that, for the first time, gives airlines the power to generate comprehensive operational business and scheduling plans in a matter of minutes, instead of weeks or months. The time and effort previously required by airlines to come up with a workable business plan has been an old problem, brought on by the many economic and operational variables now facing the industry.
The business force behind AI Systems, Stephen Johnston, himself holding degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering, joined forces with Roy Miller to develop the organizational structure necessary to bring jetEngine BPS to the marketplace. Stephen Johnston, now the President and CEO of AI Systems, brought with him his expertise in financing, team building, and customer acquisition, along with his entrepreneurial experience in founding both private and publicly traded companies.
Today, jetEngine BPS is being beta tested by a major airline, and the product is believed capable of saving the airline industry an estimated $20 billion annually.
