Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OEDV) Expanded Nemaha Ridge Project in Oklahoma Spuds Third Horizontal Mississippian Well

Osage Exploration and Development has assembled a sizeable acreage footprint in domestic hydrocarbons, with an emphasis on working Horizontal Mississippian vectors in Oklahoma (in addition to the company’s majority interest in the Guaduas field in Colombia), releasing news today about their latest E&P achievement, the spudding of a third horizontal well (Davis Farms 2-5H) on the company’s 28k-acre Nemaha Ridge project in Logan County, Oklahoma.

Two miles south of OEDV’s Wolf 1-29H well, the Davis Farms 2-5H (which follows fast on the heels of the drilling of its disposal well, the Davis Farms 1-5 SWD) hopes to produce initial production rates similar to the Wolf 1-29H (1,185 barrels per day in initial 72-hour period, with an 84% forty degree gravity crude oil and 16% high BTU wet gas, Wolf 1-29H is one of the best targets executed in the play thus far).

Nemaha Ridge is being developed in conjunction with OEDV’s operational partners, both of whom have extensive Oklahoma presence and decades in the industry, Slawson Exploration Company and US Energy Development Corporation (USEDC). The widely acclaimed Slawson has been at this sort of work for over five decades and has a regional office in Oklahoma to support activities (over 3,500 wells drilled in 10 states, with some of the first horizontals under its belt from back in the 80’s). USEDC grew out of Oilmark & Company, Inc., founded back in 1978, and is today regarded as one of the top 50 independent domestic hydrocarbon drillers with extensive work in both NY and Pennsylvania (operator status on over 2,500 well drillings since inception).

The Nemaha Ridge project is brilliantly engineered and the execution has just been superb. Osage has some of the best operational logistics available and is flexing this muscle with an aggressive attitude towards acquisitions in Oklahoma, as well as onshore U.S. targets in general.

Chairman and CEO of OEDV, Kim Bradford, underscored the recently announced 40% expansion of the acreage position across the Mississippian, with OEDV’s own position via the 25% working interest rising to as much as 7k net acres. Bradford deliberately showed his hand here, making it very clear that OEDV is intent on seizing a large horizontally-viable position in the play, confident that a strategy of moving to drill every single acre under lease will provide the greatest shareholder value accumulation.

Bradford further emphasized OEDV’s proven ability to simultaneously bring in impressive production results and expand the acreage footprint in the core operating area, citing that the company was no longer alone regionally, as three of the largest public E&P companies operating in the state have recently set up shop in Logan County as well (even drilling on contiguous acreage).

Director and VP of Exploration at OEDV, Greg Franklin, echoed his colleagues’ statements wholeheartedly, adding his own observation that the economic viability of the Horizontal Mississippian is now a widely-known fact among the industry’s top analysts. Franklin pointed to volatile commodity prices as making the superior well economics (as expressed by OEDV’s portfolio) especially attractive.

Franklin cited extant E&P efforts as proof in-and-of-itself that OEDV can execute on this methodology and bring oil to the surface cheaply, yet with a maximum respect for the land and water table. So far, expectations have not only been met in this regard, but exceeded, with the theoretical work being done by OEDV realized through optimal production solutions and the latest in horizontal technology.

OEDV has proven a capacity for elegantly partnering its way into more and more stable configurations, with the Guaduas Field and Guaduas-La Dorada Pipeline projects down in Colombia offering a solid test group, the health of OEDV’s strategy seems clear and the future certain.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) and Lifeline Skin Care

Underlying the value of stem cells in promoting health and regeneration is their versatility. Stem cells can be programmed to become many different types of cells, providing the potential for tissue regeneration and other remarkable healthcare applications. International Stem Cell Corporation, through the development of parthenogenesis, a unique process for deriving stem cells without the need for fertilized embryos, has opened the door to improved production and the potential treatment of many diseases.

In addition to International Stem Cell’s ongoing research into stem cell production and the treatment of disease, the company also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, called Lifeline Skin Care, which develops and produces high-end cosmetic products designed to promote the health and vitality of human skin. Taking advantage of the company’s parthenogenetic technology and nanotechnology, Lifeline scientists are creating skin cream formulations containing stem cell extracts discovered to help prevent and repair damaged skin.

According to Gregory S. Keller, MD, FACS (2007 Specialist of the Year in Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Strathmore’s “Who’s Who”): “These new day and night serums represent a huge step forward in anti-aging skin care products. Combining liposome-encapsulated proteins derived from ISCO’s powerful new class human stem cells with a unique blend of anti-oxidants, vitamins and natural extracts, allowed Lifeline Skin Care to create highly effective stem cell-based serums that provide strong anti-aging benefits.”

As a part of ISCO, with access to their proprietary technology, Lifeline Skin Care has set a new standard for cosmeceuticals. Based upon science more than marketing, they are developing the best-in-class skincare products, and are making Lifeline Skin Care available to qualified professionals, including:

• Dermatologists
• Plastic surgeons
• Med-spas
• Destination and Resort Spas
• Better Day Spas

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (BEAC) Aims for Strategic Client Partnerships

Founded in 2007 and headquarted in Louisville, Kentucky, Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, together with its subsidiaries, provides high quality telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure services primarily in North America and Europe.

Beacon aims to provide integrated and customized solutions to address the financial, operational, and logistical issues that accompany the current practice of a la carte and locally sourced information technology systems (ITS) services by its clients. Beacon’s service base is very wide and includes consulting, design, engineering, and installation of telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure. The company also provides professional services comprising consulting, engineering, program management, project management, construction, and infrastructure management services. In addition, it offers special services in support of qualified projects in the smart buildings/campuses/cities and data center verticals, as well as managed information technology and telecommunications services.

Beacon has set its sights on targeting US-based Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies who use English as their language of business, and because of acquisition, organic growth, down-sizing, consolidation, or operational focus need to outsource, standardize, or increase control over some or all of their ITS services. Beacon is also looking to sub-contract its services to other companies who sell the same ITS services, but resort to multiple, locally sourced providers to deliver them. Beacon is well equipped to meet the regulatory and operational challenges faced by its customers.

Beacon differentiates itself in several important ways:

• Single Point of Contact – In an otherwise highly fragmented industry segment, Beacon offers a single source solution for regional, national, and global Layer 1 management.

• Standardization – Consolidating network infrastructure management under the Beacon’s control can significantly improve the client’s ability to drive global enterprise standards.

• Consistency and Predictability – Utilizing Beacon’s Global network of ITS design, engineering, project, and construction management professionals will provide predictability and consistency across all of a client’s regions and facilities.

• Global Reach – Beacon can provide technical support, direct field support, material handling, and certified installations in virtually any location in the world.

• Focus – By outsourcing to Beacon, customers can focus their IT resources on their core business, which can greatly enhance efficiency and productivity throughout the enterprise.

• Cost Savings – By outsourcing to Beacon, customers can reduce their annual infrastructure expenditures by 30% or more. Other savings include contract administration, vendor management, and accounting costs.

Beacon’s results for the six months ended at March 31, 2012, are notable. Net sales increased 4% for the six months ended to $9.3 million from $9.0 million in the corresponding year-ago period. Gross profit also increased in the same period by 38% from $2.6 million in fiscal 2011 to $3.6 million in fiscal 2012. Gross margins increased as well by 9 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from 28% to 37%. Total operating expenses for the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2012 dropped by 13% from $2.8 million in fiscal year 2011 to $2.5 million in fiscal year 2012. Finally, EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) increased for both the three and six month periods in 2012 as compared with 2011, improving 15% for the quarter and 59% for the six months ended.

FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI): A Key Player Against Heart Disease

FluoroPharma, a developer of advanced tracing chemicals used with positron emission tomography (PET) to help detect heart disease and other problems, recently received a positive report from Life Tech Capital Institutional Research. The points emphasized on top of the report tell much of the story:

• Three “Shots-on-Goal” in Cardiac PET Imaging
• Cardiac Disease is #1 Killer in U.S. and the World
• Growing M&A Interest in Molecular Imaging Space

The report went on to detail how FluoroPharma is in a good position to meet growing critical needs in healthcare, including their financial position. The primary focus of the report was on FluoroPharma’s work with PET tracer chemicals for identifying heart disease, although the company is also now investigating tracers for the early identification of Alzheimer’s disease.

Cardiac disease is the world’s leading killer, according to the World Health Organization, taking the lives of millions every year, with the exact number varying depending upon what is included in the definition. In developed countries, like the U.S., it takes the highest percentage of lives, with almost a third of all deaths attributable to it.

Although there are continued efforts to address smoking, diet, and exercise, one of the biggest factors in countering the disease is early detection, which is where FluoroPharma comes in. The company’s proprietary chemicals allow PET scanners to immediately spot areas of biological activity, at the cellular or even molecular level, that suggest developing cardiovascular disease, long before any symptoms appear. Their tracer chemicals (the “Three Shots on Goal”), BFPET, CardioPET, and VasoPET, are non-invasive imaging agents, allowing doctors and researchers to see the human body, and the heart process, as never before. Early detection will not only save lives, but huge amounts of money in the treatment of heart disease.

Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. (QASP) to Meet Growing Need for Pilots

With all of the talk about globalization, and the rapid integration of developing countries into the worldwide marketplace, one of the key factors that is too often overlooked is the massive potential shortage of pilots that is evolving. With heightened worldwide communication and industrialization comes increased travel. Countries around the world will be growing their commercial fleets to serve a flood of business and recreational travelers. Much of the growth is, understandably, expected to come from Asia, but the pressure for more pilots will be felt everywhere.

The estimates are staggering, with a demand for perhaps a half million new commercial airline pilots over the next 25 years, and an even larger number of associated technicians and support staff, not to mention the growing needs in the field of general aviation. The largest part of that demand is expected to serve the Asia-Pacific region, with North America and Europe next in line. But South America, the Middle East, and Africa will also need thousands of commercial pilots.

Quasar Aerospace Industries is totally focused on gearing up to meet the need. The Florida-based holding company is acquiring carefully targeted subsidiaries to provide advanced pilot training. They target companies with a proven track record and consolidated cash flow. The goal is not to take over the operation of these companies, but rather to have them retain their operational independence, giving them a supportive network to help them grow.

The company has already landed two important flight training operations, and an aircraft and heavy equipment repair service, but considers this only the beginning. One of its acquisitions, Atlantic Aviation in Florida, has plans to develop and operate flight schools nationwide for training professional pilots. Another subsidiary, A-Cent Aviation, based in Colorado, has what is considered one of the most advanced flight training facilities around.
