(EESO.pk) - Enzyme Environmental Enters $12M Venture With Dow Chemical

2009-03-26T18:14:00.000-07:00

FORT WAYNE, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 25, 2009 -- Enzyme Environmental Solutions, Inc. (Other OTC:EESO.PK - News) has secured a contract from its recent trip to South Korea. The contract was entered into between Star Towers, Inc. in association with Dow Chemical and Enzyme Environmental Solutions late last week.

The signed contract is a one year term and calls for a total $12M ($12,000,000.00) purchase of EESO's proprietary biotech and product for use in bacterial remediation in Chungju Lake, a man-made reservoir that goes about 100 meters deep with a volume of over 2 billion tons. Chungju Lake is one of Korea's largest man-made lakes and is the main water source for domestic (includes drinking/tap water), agriculture and industrial use in that area. The area also is host to numerous tourist attractions and scenery and stands as an overall revenue source for Korea.

It was found in a 2004 report published in The Journal of Microbiology that two species of Cyanobacteria (the dominant phototropic bacteria in water environments) were found to be prevalent in Chungju and the nearby Dunpo reservoir: Microcystis and Anabaena and the problem has only escalated from there. These bacteria were found to be directly linked to pollution levels, "which is sad," states Star Towers owner, Su Lee. "This (Chungju) reservoir is, at times, boasted as Korea's 'largest and cleanest' man-made reservoir. What does that say to us? The pollution has to stop, and I believe that the recent meetings between government officials and Jared's company (Enzyme Environmental Solutions) will help us to put into place garbage and food waste remediation which is a large part of our pollution problem."

The enzyme solution provided by EESO is unique in that it doesn't attack the bacteria directly, but rather its food source, forcing it to starve to death rather than potentially resurfacing in mutated form over the long term.

Lee goes on to state, "In addition to preventative measures to be taken by Korea as a government and community to eliminate or significantly minimize pollution, we need to take measures to clear the matters at hand. I think this initial contract with EESO should prove highly effective as our testing of this product has produced outstanding results and I am looking forward to its applications in bacterial remediation of our water sources, including bacterial remediation in our reservoirs such as Chungju."

City authorities have already put into place agendas to tighten regulations regarding the management of water pipelines and tanks. "We are taking these measures to build public trust in Seoul's tap water," a spokesman for City Hall told The Korea Herald. Initial product for the deal shipped from Enzyme Environmental Solutions' facilities in Fort Wayne, Indiana this morning. The order is the first of multiple shipments to be sent to Korea for the purposes of the agreement with Star Towers in association with Dow Chemical.

President/CEO Jared Hochstedler feels, "It will be a big step in the right direction for us internationally as I think there's a collective understanding here that our products have several useful, cost-effective applications for countries and municipalities worldwide. If this is what it takes for us to receive domestic recognition, then so be it. The benefits to ecosystems and economies alike are, at this point, obvious, and we look forward to continued increase in sales force, research and development as we progress."

(DKAM.ob) - Drinks America Enters LOI to Purchase Global Beverages Asia Ltd.

2009-03-24T01:23:00.000-07:00

WILTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (OTC BB: DKAM - News), a leading owner, developer and marketer of global premium beverages, announced today that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to purchase, for stock, “Global Beverages Asia Ltd.”, the new name for the combination of Yarraman Winery, Inc. (“Yarraman”) and Asia Distribution Solutions Ltd. (“ADSL”), a combination which has existing distribution operations and large retail stores in China for its proprietary and non-proprietary wines, spirits, beers, mixers, and soft drinks.

The acquisition by Drinks Americas is subject to completion of due diligence, the negotiation of definitive agreements, and the satisfaction of legal requirements. Rodman and Renshaw LLC is acting as financial advisor to Drinks Americas, and Newbridge Securities Corp. is acting as advisor to Yarraman on the transaction.

Drinks Americas is a leading owner and marketer of premium and iconic beverages that include Kid Rock Beer, Willie Nelson’s Old Whiskey River Bourbon, Trump Super Premium Vodka, Newman's Sparkling Juice Drinks, Rheingold Beer, Leyrat Estate Bottled Cognacs, and an additional line of spirits to be introduced in partnership with Interscope and Dr. Dre. The Drinks Americas portfolio will be added to the products currently sold by ADSL in China and Yarraman’s global sales and export arm selling wines in Australia, Europe, and throughout the Pacific Rim.

ADSL currently has Chinese operations in Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing, and Shenzhen through wholly-owned distributors. The company also sells product in China through its 51% owned chain of “big box” or “WineMall “ stores, which ADSL expects to grow to approximately fifty outlets over the next three years.

In addition to its proprietary labels, ADSL distributes Heineken, Tiger Beer, Pabst, Tsingtao, Sunkist Sodas and Snapple Beverages as well as Yeshu Coconut Juice, Jia Jia Liang Teh Herbal Drinks and Kelsoloch Mixers. The company also provides procurement and logistics in China for the purchase of wine, spirits and beverages for supermarkets, hotels, high-end restaurants, bars and cafes. The company operates nine “store within a store” operations at Times Ltd. Hypermarket with the Pine Group.

The wine market in China is approximately US$4.8 billion, with consumption growing at an estimated 6.5 times faster than the overall global market. The beer market is the largest consuming beer market in the world at US$36.1 billion and growing at an estimated rate of 8.5% per annum. The spirits market is approximately US$6.1 billion and growing at an estimated rate of 1.5% per annum. (SOURCE: Data Monitor) The Drinks Americas portfolio of products will be added to the products sold by ADSL’s distribution and retail operations in China.

ADSL is in the process of being acquired by Yarraman, a successful Australian- based vineyard and winery operation, which, together with its Jugiong Vineyard, has the capacity to produce 160,000 cases of wine per year, giving the company significant capacity to meet the growing demand for wines in China through its WineMall retail outlets. In addition to Yarraman Wines, the company also sells Ironstone, Santa Carolina, Bass Phillip, Vine San Pedro and La Barcia wines. Yarraman has tangible assets of US$45 million.

J. Patrick Kenny, Chairman and CEO of Drinks Americas, stated, "Consumption of beverages and the size and scale of the distribution and retail market in China is something DKAM wants to be a part of. When we met to discuss and review the strategic opportunity, an immediate vision of the scale and scope of this business opportunity for Drinks began to take shape. We see it as an opportunity for the combined companies to grow in the two largest markets in the world, supply profitable and proprietary product, continue to scale our iconic business model and create substantial shareholder value. Assuming a consummation of this acquisition, the entire business enterprise will have more than $20 million in current sales, over $40 million in net tangible assets, accretive earnings, and a growing business infrastructure capable of efficient international distribution of proprietary products.”

Michael Kingshott, the Chairman of ADSL, stated “The bringing together of two very dynamic companies which today are focused on two of the world’s largest markets is very compelling. Drinks Americas has made significant progress in establishing a set of global iconic brands in America. The opportunity to expand and distribute their range of product in addition to those that we already represent in China will create tremendous growth. For the group to access instantly these two markets represents a unique opportunity for growth. The fact that both companies are so complementary in their brand offerings makes for a very exciting future that we intend to capitalize on, both in America and China.”

The combined company will operate from offices in New York, London, Sydney, Australia, and Shanghai. Michael Kingshott is expected to join Drinks Americas as Chairman of the Board, and Patrick Kenny will become President and CEO of the combined operations.

(SSTP.pk) - Sustainable Power Expects International Contract

2009-03-24T01:21:00.000-07:00

BAYTOWN, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 23, 2009 -- Sustainable Power Corp. (Other OTC:SSTP.PK - News) presented the following communication from its President and Chief Executive Officer, M. Richard Cutler:

SHAREHOLDERS AND INVESTORS OF SUSTAINABLE POWER CORP.

Without a doubt it is again time to update our shareholders and investors as to the progress and results for Sustainable Power Corp. During my brief tenor as President and CEO, I have seen SSTP make amazing advancements in both its existing and new technologies and its business relations. I hope you appreciate the work which our team completed in preparing and filing our Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, to help make our operations and finances transparent to the investor community and with the objective of making us a fully reporting company. We are currently working through our 2008 year end financials in preparation for our next filing.

We are working around the clock to reach our objectives in our business relations and core technologies.

Dominican Republic

Watch for announcements in the next few days (yes days) on our amazing business relationships with this vibrant and progressive country. Given the ease with which we can implement all of our core technologies with the encouragement of key government officials, and the 100% financing for all ventures which our key business partners will provide, we simply cannot ignore this opportunity. I have visited extensively with key government and business leaders in the Dominican Republic who share our vision for green technologies. Without a doubt, this will be our first major source of revenue and funding.

Vertroleum(TM) Biofuels and Electricity

Our principal focus continues to be the production of Vertroleum(TM) biofuels for the production of electricity. We now possess everything we need to create a revolutionary group of solid, liquid, and gaseous biofuels and enormous amounts of biochar, now acclaimed by scientists as essential to reverse global warming and restore barren lands to agricultural use. The feedstocks used to produce these products include, but are not limited to, agricultural waste, human and animal wastes, numerous types of vegetation or biomass, algae, automotive "fluff" or waste from auto recycling, and municipal solid waste (MSW) for which we receive tipping fees as a waste processor. Generation of electricity from MSW feedstock is our primary goal.

Emissions Remediation Systems

In connection with our research on the improvement of engine and electric generator technology, we have developed a "hydrogen on demand" technology which we have dubbed our "Emission Remediation System." This computerized, cell produces hydrogen from a mixture of catalyst and water. Our testing shows this technology to (i) substantially improve fuel consumption mileage, (ii) substantially improve overall engine horsepower and (iii) essentially remediate the toxic gases in engine exhaust because of overall improved fuel burn. SSTP owns 50% of this technology in conjunction with other joint venture partners who brought us this valuable technology. When implemented in generator engines in conjunction with our biofuels, we can vastly improve the overall cost of production of electricity which provides amazing advantages over current technology. This product is currently in final stages of implementation and SALES both in some key United States markets as well as with our Dominican Republic partners.

Sustainable Produce Corp.

As previously announced, Sustainable Produce has an exclusive license for the Angel Eyes Produce technology throughout the world. SSTP owns 90% of the rights to Sustainable Produce in the United States and is the final stages of construction of our demonstration facility in Baytown, Texas. This technology produces 100% organic produce grown in a pathogen free, highly nutritious, non-GMO vegetables, indoors in living, bioactive soils, 365/24/7, regardless of weather. By creating highly controlled, optimal, environments we can grow unprecedented amounts of food in a fraction of the space required outdoors. This technology can be implemented in the driest desert or the coldest climate. We should begin receiving revenues from our demonstration facility within 90 days and intend to substantially increase production capacity. We have received serious interest in this technology from numerous partners, and as will be announced shortly, is already underway with one of our key Dominican Partners.

With financing at the ready, Sustainable Power Corp. stands prepared to move forward with these key technologies to push our world towards a greener environment while working for our shareholders. We continue to worked to eliminate distractions and focus our energy on the Company's successes and future. Together with you our investors we can help change the world by making energy and dependence on foreign sources a thing of the past.

/s/ M. Richard Cutler, President and Chief Executive Officer

(EESO.pk) - Enzyme Environmental Solutions Receives Intent for Buyout Offer

2009-03-20T21:09:00.000-07:00

FORT WAYNE, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 20, 2009 -- The promise of news from South Korea has attracted positive attention to Enzyme Environmental Solutions (Other OTC:EESO.PK - News) as of late for its products and formulas, including the food and garbage applications inherent to the FG-500. One company has taken particular interest in EESO and came to CEO Jared Hochstedler recently with an offer to purchase the company in its entirety.

One week ago today, the prospective buyer deposited approximately 1% of the total purchase price offered into ESCROW as a sign of its good faith to follow through should Hochstedler accept the offer. On the flip side, the buyer requested that EESO release at least 300 Million of its remaining shares on a restricted basis as part of the overall exchange should both parties come to a mutual agreement; So far so good according to Hochstedler, "The buyer -- who we can't name just yet due to confines of our negotiations -- has taken particular interest in our industrial applications and is positioned very well internationally. I think it (the acquisition) could be a win-win for our prospective buyer and EESO shareholders... Further, as far as the shares are concerned, that puts us at about full capacity as we have 2 billion shares authorized... that said, due to recent occurrences with two different transfer agents, I feel it's in the company's, and its shareholders, best interest, to restrict our TA from releasing any share information at this time. Any due diligence can be done by interested parties through the Nevada Secretary of State website or office as this is a delicate negotiation and one I plan to see through to everyone's benefit; not one that during I can subject the company or its share price to with unnecessary volatility."

The buyer, a U.S. domiciled entity with an interest in progressive green technology, feels the timing is right for this deal, as its principal officer states, "I feel that Enzyme Environmental Solutions is on the cusp of an ever-progressing movement in a world where everyone is going green and carbon credits, not oil, are the new hot-topic commodity talk. It's a sign of the times and these formulas and their applications are effective and efficient. With their (EESO) agreements already in place and the interest from South Korea and even U.S. domestic hog farmers, etc., I think the time is right for a mutually attractive transaction in which we can continue to take this company to the next level."

Details to come on the progress of the negotiations. In the meantime, Hochstedler and staff are organizing notes from the recent South Korea trip for further company updates within the next few days.

We are proud to announce that our Company is now cash flow positive and can finance our immediate growth from the cash generated within. We have been in negotiation with two banking institutions that could potentially provide us with accounts receivable financing, if and when needed for the future growth of our Company.

We recently launched our "Uncle Norman's Pet Sponge" at the Westminster Kennel Club's 33rd annual Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City and received a good response from the public, distributors and retailers. Our national marketing campaign and infomercials continue to generate growing sales and repeat orders online. We expect to add additional new products to our Pet Care line in the coming months.

Auto Care

With spring season around the corner, we are happy to announce that our automotive cleaning products are now available in many retail outlets in the US and overseas. We recently sponsored and placed our name on NASCAR #78, driven by Regan Smith in this year's Daytona 500 race. The Daytona 500 was a premier event viewed by tens of millions of fans worldwide and we anticipate having additional marketing exposure with NASCAR throughout the racing season.

Children's Bath

We recently licensed with Viacom's Nickelodeon subsidiary creating the products and packaging for children's bath sponges in the likenesses of Nickelodeon characters SpongeBob Square Pants, Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go. These products will be available in major retail outlets that carry other Nickelodeon licensed products such as Wal-Mart. Our marketing research leads us to believe that the bath products will be very popular among children and their parents at price points which are affordable.

Household Cleaning

Our Company has developed two distinct lines of product for the home cleaning market, Kitchen and Bath.

1) Kitchen - Designed for kitchen use infused with antibacterial soap or detergent.

2) Bath - Designed for the bathroom to clean ceramic tile, porcelain and plastic surface.

The Household products market is very competitive and expensive to enter, therefore we are seeking for the right partner with established brand recognition and dedicated retail shelf space. We have already designed and tested our product for a major company. To date, both parties are pleased with the product line and its test market acceptance.

Healthcare and Cosmetics

Our Company has developed and tested a derma-sponge which may be used as an applicator for sun block and other skin care products. Discussions are underway with a market leader in the sun lotions and sun block preparations industry.

Your Management Team is pleased with the recent progress in the development, marketing, and distribution of SpongeTech®'s products and I trust that you are also favorably impressed by the Company's recent growth and operating results. We appreciate your patience and your loyalty and let me assure you, that we will continue to put our best foot forward building a company, a globally recognized brand, and continue to show revenue and profit to which our shareholders can be proud of and which should be reflected and rewarded by a healthier performance of the stock.

Very truly yours,

(NNVC.ob) - NanoViricides, Inc. Signs Agreement With a Major Pharmaceutical Company

2009-03-02T20:11:00.000-08:00

WEST HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the "Company"), reported today that it has signed a Material Transfer Agreement with a major pharmaceutical company (“Party”). The Agreement initially entails evaluation of one of the Company’s nanoviricide drug candidates by an independent consultant chosen by the Party. This drug candidate has been designed to eradicate viral infections of the external eye, including those caused by adenovirus and herpes virus (“HSV”). It is the understanding of the Parties that, should the testing results be favorable, they will enter into good faith negotiations for a potential long-term, exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement for the development and commercialization of the drug.

“This agreement is the first step towards a potential licensing agreement,” said Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, CEO of Nanoviricides, Inc, adding, “It clearly signals that our technology is now attracting serious attention from major Pharma companies.”

The terms of the Agreement do not allow the disclosure of the identity of the Party or the exact terms of the Agreement.

HSV and some adenoviruses cause most of the cases of keratitis, a serious infection of the cornea. Importantly, HSV infection can lead to corneal scarring that may necessitate corneal transplantation. In addition, some adenoviruses cause a majority of conjunctivitis cases (“pink eye”). The remaining cases of conjunctivitis, caused by bacteria, are treatable with topical antibiotics. Currently, there are no effective treatments for viral diseases of the exterior portion of the eye.

The Company has already demonstrated strong efficacy against an adenovirus-caused external eye disease called epidemic kerato-conjunctivitis (EKC). Rapid clinical improvement in the treated animals was reported by independent researchers who tested the effects of the nanoviricides drug candidate against adenoviral EKC. Based on computer modeling, the Company believes that the broad-spectrum nature of the ligand used in this nanoviricide should enable it to be effective against HSV.

The total market for viral conjunctivitis is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. The incidence of severe herpes keratitis is estimated to be 250,000 cases per year in the USA. In Japan, where EKC is a reportable disease, it is estimated that there are at least one million cases per year. The number of cases of non-specific conjunctivitis (pink eye) is considered to be far greater, possibly into tens of millions in the US, and into hundreds of millions worldwide.

About NanoViricides:

NanoViricides, Inc. (www.nanoviricides.com) is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for viral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide™ class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. The Company is developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, EKC, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others.

(WNBD.pk) - Winning Brands Corp Continues Expansion in Austrailia

2009-02-25T16:48:00.000-08:00

BARRIE, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 25, 2009 -- Winning Brands Corporation (Other OTC:WNBD.PK - News) (Frankfurt:WMU.F - News) www.WinningBrands.ca reports that a second ton of Winning Colours Stain Remover will leave the U.S. for Australia immediately to commence initial grocery store sales there Q2 2009. Winning Brands' Australian product Ambassador Kori Walsh reports positive early interest in Winning Colours Stain Remover. Winning Colours is being given a Vendor Number to commence direct-to-store supply to a well known national grocer, initially in 3 Australian states. Results will then be evaluated for the purpose of assessing a national listing. The name of the grocer, which has affiliated stores in other countries, will be released in concert with the placement of the first products on the shelf.

Source: Winning Brands Corporation

Winning Colours Stain Remover is off to a good start in Australia. First grocery store tests are already scheduled and a second product shipment is leaving immediately for the new market.

Winning Colours Stain Remover is already available in Canada's leading retailers and gaining ground rapidly across the USA on its way to becoming North America's favourite stain removing product.

Prior to commencement of international testing, Winning Brands had first determined whether its highly concentrated Winning Colours Stain Remover could sustain the cost of shipment from North America and still be competitive in foreign markets. Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner summarizes the company's position this way: "Winning Colours is known by its existing consumers to be both a stain remover and multi-cleaner. It can be used straight from the bottle for stubborn stains, or highly diluted with plain water as needed. This means that as a stain remover it is well priced (because you don't need much per use) and as a multi-cleaner it is well priced (because you can easily get 10 bottles of diluted mixture from the original). With that terrific value, a little bit of freight per bottle can easily be absorbed into the current pricing model. Container traffic is very sophisticated today -- and particularly attractive for exporters filling empty containers that have to leave North America again after delivering goods from Asia and around the world. North America is the world's largest importing marketplace."

Winning Brands Senior Vice President Lorne Kelly remarks that the grocery sector is not entirely off limits in North America either. "To be frank, we are being steady and careful to manage the channels of distribution. We want our existing business partners to do well financially. This means that we will strike the right balance between store types and sectors. The end point has to be that it is easy for a consumer in North America to find Winning Colours Stain Remover in every town with a population of 2,500 and up. Grocery and convenience stores will have a role to play in this mix. Also, there are specialty grocers who would like an eco-responsible product that is more than just another green product. The green category is becoming blurred these days because 'green' products are increasingly similar in name and appearance."

Lehner states that it is the inherent position of Winning Brands to be eco-responsible, but that it is not sufficient for long term success. "Today, eco is a fact of life. There will soon be few if any products left that are not environmental. That's not a distinguishing characteristic which is going to last very long -- it's already lacking distinction. We are ahead of this curve by being 'post-environmental.' That means building brands on the basis of distinctions that are enduring. If everyone is some shade of green, that's not very interesting. We are eco on the inside and a full spectrum of possibilities on the outside"

Winning Colours Stain Remover is manufactured by Winning Brands' production subsidiary Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd. Production takes place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil LLC and at Niagara Mist's Ontario facilities. The mission of Winning Brands is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives. Other products manufactured by Winning Brands are used in professional garment care (SMART Wet Cleaning Solutions), domestic garment care (KIND Laundry Products), industry (CLEAN1 Professional All Purpose) and other sectors.

(TSHL.pk) - Tri-Star Holdings Announces Acquisiton

2009-02-24T22:19:00.000-08:00

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 24, 2009 -- Tri-Star Holdings, Inc. (Other OTC:TSHL.PK - News) just announced that it inked a long awaited integration and launch plan for one of its acquired subsidiaries. Management believes that this milestone will have a dramatic impact on shareholder value and corporate growth.

The new division was named the "Emergence Response Services Division" (ERS), headed by Mr. Victor Adams, Chief Architect. After several months of diligent preparation and testing, the ERS team successfully completed an Emergency Response Unit (ERU) functioning as a temporary life support facility to be deployed in the event of disasters such as Katrina, devastating storm situations, homeland security issues, foreign war support and other areas. Several U.S. and international patents are expected and talks with private investors regarding commercialization are underway.

Mr. Matteis, the company's CEO, said: "This is a monumental achievement for maintaining life support in disaster and emergency management situations. The need for these types of facilities is evident and this plan fits with our personal testing products, lab services and pharmacy agenda. We plan to incorporate a mini-pharmacy and med labs in future designs. Mr. Adam's background with NASA (space life support projects) and his original Star Trek work with set life support facilities was a significant driver behind his life vision for these impressive facilities."

During an interview, Mr. Adams said: "After many years of effort, we are now in a position to offer an all new, proprietary lightweight polymer based facility approach that can be dropped on location and made fully functional in less than 24 hours with set-up time within one hour with power, lights, alternate energy sources, hydraulics and life support systems. I am excited to think that our facilities, built to support from 50 to 1000 individuals each, will finally be in place to save lives so disasters like Katrina and 9/11 will be dramatically less costly in terms of resources and human lives."

Future designs are on the drawing board and are expected to include an impressive range of support structures including medical, solar and wind energy solutions, modular interconnectivity, and integrated computer and communications technology. The first generation prototype and proof of concept will be unveiled at the 2009 Governor's Hurricane Conference in May. (www.flghc.org).

(WTWO.pk) - W2 Energy Inc Tests The "Steam Ray" Engine

2009-02-23T17:40:00.000-08:00

TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 23, 2009 -- W2 Energy Inc. (Other OTC:WTWO.PK - News), a developer of green energy, is pleased to announce it has successfully built and test-operated its rotary steam engine. The engine, based on US patent number 5,720,251, runs on low pressure steam.

W2 Energy will be using this engine, which W2 Energy called the Steam Ray, to generate electricity from steam derived from its biomass to energy machines, and other green energy technologies which W2 Energy will be bringing online.

Video of the Steam Ray can be seen on the W2 Energy website (www.w2energy.com).

W2 Energy will be connecting an electrical generator onto the Steam Ray as soon as possible, so that true operational efficiency figures can be generated.

"We built the Steam Ray to make our green energy technologies more efficient," says Mike McLaren, CEO of W2 Energy. "Based on the performance we have seen so far from the Steam Ray, we believe that we may be able to double the efficiency of currently available small steam turbines."

The Steam Ray has been tested at only 15 pounds per inch of steam pressure and delivered usable work at that pressure, because the Steam Ray derives its power more from steam volume than pressure. W2 Energy will now begin testing engine performance at 80 pounds per square inch and above.

"We built the Steam Ray because we thought it would operate at a high efficiency, and be able to run very effectively on low pressure steam. Our initial tests on this first model of the Steam Ray have confirmed our optimism," says McLaren. "We look forward to building even more efficient and powerful versions of the Steam Ray design. Based on the results so far our opinion is that the Steam Ray will prove to be a game changer in many applications, including solar power, the HVAC industry, and even in the transportation sector."

About W2 Energy Inc.

Western Style Bread Growing in Popularity

BEIJING, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Good Life China Corporation http://www.goodlifechina.com/ (GLCC) is pleased to announce that it has closed the merger agreement with Shenzhen Bread Co. Under the retail banner of Miluga Bread, Shenzhen Bread currently operates 60 retail bakeries and also sells bread on a wholesale basis to various grocery chains and retail stores.

The Baked Goods industry is growing at an impressive pace, as Chinese culture begins to embrace baked goods from the Western world in addition to its traditional pastries. Recent research reports "growth can be seen particularly in urban areas where, due to the increasing pace of life, many people do not have the luxury of spending an hour at breakfast. This has given rise to the demand for nutritious and convenient food. Although bread competes with traditional Chinese breakfasts such as steamed buns, sales of western style bread are also on the increase thanks to the speed with which it can be prepared and eaten".

In addition, Miluga has had tremendous success with its line of Moon Cakes, selling 30 million of them in 2008. Mooncakes are a Chinese pastry. A thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste is surrounded by a relatively thin crust. Mooncakes are rich, heavy, and dense compared with most Western cakes and pastries. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea.

With gross revenues in the 10 million Yuan range, and a 20% net profit ratio, the Company is in an excellent position to continue to grow through cooperation agreements and by expanding its geographic footprint to build regional bakeries servicing a growing franchise chain network around the Pearl River Delta (including the principal cities of Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, and Guangzhou in Guangdong Province).

(SRSR.pk) - Sarissa Resources Inc. Releases Drill Hole Results

2009-02-17T18:38:00.000-08:00

BAY CITY, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 17, 2009 -- Sarissa Resources Inc. ("Sarissa" or the "Company") (Other OTC:SRSR.PK - News) released today partial assay results from Diamond Drill Holes 09-70 and 73. These holes are part of the current 9 hole program designed to test the D Zone of the Company's Nemegosenda niobium property in northern Ontario. Holes 09-70 and 73 were drilled deeper in order to test for possible depth extensions, and both encountered significant grades of Nb2O5 material below the previously identified cut-off of the mineralized zone. The Company considered it prudent to prioritize the assays from this deeper section of these holes in order to more accurately plan the remaining drilling.

The results below the 200 metre levels returned a 4.5 metre section in DDH 09-73 of 1.8% Nb2O5, from 229.30 to 233.80, including:

Metres From To Nb2O5%
1.5 229.30 230.80 2.5
1.5 230.80 232.30 1.7
1.5 232.30 233.80 1.4

Results from DDH 09-70 below the 200 metre level returned values of 0.42% Nb2O5 over 43.5 metres from 201.5 metres to 245 metres, including: 0.36% Nb2O5 over 18 metres from 201.5 metres to 219.5 metres; and 25.5 metres of 0.46% Nb2O5 from 219.5 metres to 245 metres.

The results from these holes indicate the presence of further significant mineralization at depths below what had previously been reported in historic drilling results, confirming Sarissa's theory that the deposit remains open to depth.

The Company is awaiting the remaining assay results from these holes. Full results from DDH 09-70 and DDH 09-71 should be available for release shortly.

In addition, Sarissa is honored to be exhibiting at one of the world's largest and most renowned mining events, the PDAC 2009, an international convention, trade show and investor's exchange which is hosted by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. In fact, Sarissa will be exhibiting at 2 locations during the convention. As well as being in the Investors' Exchange (booth 2400), we will also be exhibiting in the "Core Shack" (booth 5017.) The PDAC Core Shack display area will allow drill core from 60 deposits around the globe to be available for inspection along with maps, charts and technical information. Sarissa will be exhibiting on March 1st and 2nd.

Sarissa Resources CEO, Scott Keevil, commented, "It's gratifying to see the drilling results confirming, and improving on, what had been historically reported. I'm also very happy that we have been selected to display our drill core and geological information at the Core Shack area of the PDAC, and look forward to meeting some more of our shareholders there."

The company looks forward to keeping our shareholders informed in the coming weeks through continued updates, as further results are obtained and analyzed.

(INTK.pk) - Industrial Nanotech Releases Greenhouse Product

2009-02-17T18:33:00.001-08:00

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets: INTK - News), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that the Company has launched “Nansulate Greenhouse”, a thin film, easy to apply, thermal insulation coating designed to be applied to the clear panels of greenhouses to reduce energy consumption and costs without reducing the passage of light critical to healthy plant growth.

The Company recently completed spectrophotometer testing on its patented translucent Nansulate® Greenhouse product to measure light transmission and absorbance through the thermally insulating and mold resistant coating. The data demonstrates that Nansulate does not interfere with the important visible light needed for healthy plant growth, while offering effective thermal insulation benefits to reduce the energy needed to maintain optimal temperatures in greenhouses, therefore significantly reducing operating expenses.

The testing was completed by Princeton Polymer Laboratories on a Beckman DU 600 full scanning UV spectrophotometer. Results showed that in the 400-700 nanometer wavelength range, which is critical to plant growth, it allowed 92% of visible light to pass through. In comparison, normal paned glass allows 90%-94% of visible light to pass through. A copy of the data can downloaded at www.nansulategreenhouse.com.

“Nansulate has unique benefits to offer the greenhouse agricultural industry,” stated Francesca Crolley, V.P. Operations & Marketing for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “Our coatings provide excellent thermal insulation, as well as resistance to mold and fungus growth. Verification of the light transmission was the last piece of data we needed before offering this important solution to this essential industry. Our cost comparison analysis with insulation products that are currently being used in this industry show that not only can we offer a superior product for light transmission and thermal insulation, but at a very competitive cost. Our new greenhouse coating, NANSULATE GREENHOUSE, can be easily and quickly applied with a conventional paint sprayer or brush, costs about 37 cents per square foot for the recommended 3-coat application, and will last for a decade. In comparison, bubble insulation commonly used for greenhouses costs about 50 cents per square foot when you include the hardware needed to mount it (clips, Tek screws, adhesive spray) and is reported to last from three to four years. Nansulate offers an effective way for growers to use less energy heating their greenhouses, while allowing the necessary visible light for plant growth to pass through. It is an excellent and cost effective solution for this industry.”

Estimates show that more than 80 percent of energy used for greenhouses goes toward heating. In northern climates, energy for heating greenhouses is a major expense. For commercial growers, energy costs represent the third-largest expense after labor and stock.

The commercial greenhouse growers market is divided between food/vegetable growers and flower growers, or floriculture. Floriculture is a $10 billion component of the U.S. economy. Worldwide, 145 countries are involved in greenhouse flower production. Wholesale value of world floriculture industry was $101.84 billion in 2003 and is increasing at approximately 11% to 15% per year. Greenhouse food crops grown commercially include tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, eggplant, and a variety of others.

About Nansulate(R)

Nansulate(R) is the Company's patented product line of specialty coatings containing a nanotechnology based material and which are well-documented to provide the combined performance qualities of thermal insulation, corrosion prevention, resistance to mold growth, fire resistance, chemical resistance, and lead encapsulation in an environmentally safe, water-based, coating formulation. The Nansulate(R) Product Line includes industrial, residential, agricultural and solar thermal insulation coatings.

(GNTA.ob) - Genta Inc. Announces Financial Results

2009-02-13T16:39:00.000-08:00

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genta Incorporated (NASDAQ: GNTA - News) today announced financial results and progress for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. The Company noted significant recent milestones, including:

* AGENDA: Phase 3 biomarker-directed trial nears completion in melanoma
* Tesetaxel, a leading Phase 2 oral taxane, prepares for pivotal trial in gastric cancer
* Genasense® intermittent schedule enters trial in melanoma
* Decision on FDA appeal for Genasense NDA in CLL expected this quarter
* New oral product for bone loss, G4544, completes initial Phase 1 trial

“Genta has three exceptional, high-value, late-stage products in our portfolio,” noted Dr. Raymond P. Warrell, Jr., Genta’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect the Phase 3 AGENDA trial of Genasense® in patients with advanced melanoma to complete accrual later this quarter. Positive results from AGENDA should support global regulatory applications. We have aggressively pursued the clinical development of tesetaxel, a drug that we believe can be the first oral taxane approved in oncology. Tesetaxel offers a unique and exceptionally attractive market opportunity to reduce side effects for patients and potentially expand the diseases that may respond to this class of compounds. Lastly, we continue to pursue development of G4544, which also offers a potential early-to-market opportunity via a streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory strategy. Each drug in our portfolio offers significant partnering opportunities that can accelerate their development.”

Highlights and updates of the Genta programs appear below.

GENASENSE®: CLINICAL AND REGULATORY ACTIVITY

Phase 3/Melanoma: Genta will shortly conclude patient accrual into its second Phase 3, randomized, controlled trial of Genasense® in patients with advanced melanoma, known as AGENDA. The study is designed to confirm certain safety and efficacy results from our prior randomized trial of Genasense® combined with dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients who have not previously received chemotherapy. AGENDA employs a biomarker to define those patients who derived maximum clinical benefit during the preceding study. These patients are characterized by low-normal levels of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), a tumor-derived enzyme that is readily detected in blood. Analysis of those efficacy outcomes in the prior study, which were observed in 274 patients, showed the following results:

Endpoint

Genasense®/DTIC

DTIC

Hazard

Ratio

P
Overall response 20.8% 7.2% 0.002
Durable response 10.7% 2.4% 0.007
Progression-free survival, median 3.6 mos. 1.6 mos. 0.58 < 0.0001
Overall survival, median 12.3 mos. 9.9 mos. 0.64 0.0009

A scientific article that describes efficacy and safety results from this study can be accessed at: http://www.jco.org/cgi/content/abstract/JCO.2006.06.0483v1. AGENDA has co-primary endpoints of progression-free survival and overall survival. Genta currently expects the final analysis of progression-free survival, and the first interim assessment of overall survival, to be available in the Fall of 2009.

Phase 3/Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/NDA Status: Genta has appealed a prior “non-approvable” decision on the Genasense® New Drug Application (NDA) for patients with relapsed/refractory CLL. The appeal is now pending a decision by FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The pivotal randomized trial achieved its primary endpoint, which was to significantly increase the proportion of patients who achieved complete remission by adding Genasense® to standard chemotherapy compared with patients treated with chemotherapy alone. With 5-years of follow up, all patients who achieved a major response (either complete or partial remission) on the Genasense® treatment arm achieved superior survival compared with responders treated with chemotherapy alone. A decision from CDER is expected in the current quarter.

TESETAXEL, THE LEADING ORAL TAXANE IN CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT

Tesetaxel is a novel, orally absorbed, semi-synthetic taxane that is in the same class of drugs as paclitaxel and docetaxel. However, both prototype agents suffer from serious safety issues, particularly hypersensitivity reactions related to intravenous infusions that are occasionally fatal and that require careful premedication and observation. Other prominent side-effects of this drug class include myelosuppression (low blood counts) and peripheral neuropathy (disabling nerve damage).

With administration as an oral capsule, tesetaxel was developed to maintain the high antitumor activity of the taxane drug class while eliminating infusion reactions, reducing neuropathy, and increasing patient convenience. The oral route also enables development of novel schedules that may expand dosing options when tesetaxel is used alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs. Preclinically, tesetaxel has demonstrated substantially higher activity against cell lines that were resistant to paclitaxel and docetaxel, since acquired resistance is not mediated by the multidrug-resistant p-glycoprotein.

Tesetaxel has demonstrated anticancer activity in several completed Phase 2 clinical trials, including patients with advanced gastric cancer and advanced breast cancer. The drug has not been associated with severe infusion reactions that are linked with other taxanes. Moreover, unlike other oral taxanes, nerve damage has not been a prominent side effect of tesetaxel. Thus, the drug offers substantial opportunities to improve patient convenience, safety, and anticancer activity.

More than 250 patients worldwide have been treated with oral tesetaxel in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. Genta is currently running a U.S. clinical trial to examine the pharmacokinetics of tesetaxel over a critical dosing range for pivotal regulatory trials. Data from this trial should be available at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology held in Orland, FL May 29-June 2, 2009.

Tesetaxel received designation as an Orphan Drug by FDA for treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer and advanced melanoma. Genta has submitted a proposal for a randomized controlled trial of tesetaxel to FDA for Special Protocol Assessment to support an efficacy claim for patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed on first-line therapy.

G4544, A NEW ORAL DRUG FOR SKELETAL DISEASES

G4544 contains the active ingredient in Ganite®, a highly effective intravenous drug that is approved in the U.S. and marketed for treatment of patients with cancer-related hypercalcemia that is resistant to hydration. Low doses of the active ingredient have shown clinical activity in a range of skeletal diseases, such as bone metastasis, Paget’s disease and osteoporosis. Genta has completed an initial Phase 1 study of G4544, a proprietary small molecule formulation of this active ingredient.

The Company has sought and received FDA guidance on the initial development of G4544. Genta believes that a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway may shorten development time and enable regulatory approval by establishing bioequivalence to Ganite®. The 505(b)(2) approach enables potential approval in the currently approved indication for Ganite (cancer-related hypercalcemia) in parallel with development in other indications.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In June 2008, the Company entered into a convertible note transaction (described below). That transaction required that the Company seek stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. While such approval was obtained in October 2008, for the period from June 9, 2008 through October 6, 2008, the Company was required to mark-to-market the liabilities for the conversion feature of its notes and a warrant issued as part of the transaction. These liabilities changed with the price of Genta’s common stock, and these fluctuations resulted in net income for the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company reported net income of $29.6 million, or $0.26 per basic share, and $0.02 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.06) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2007. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the assumption that all outstanding instruments potentially convertible into shares of common stock are converted, including the impact of converting $15.5 million of convertible notes into 1.55 billion shares of common stock and the warrant into 40 million shares of common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $505.8 million, or $(9.10) per share, compared with a net loss of $23.3 million, or $(0.79) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. Presently, the Company has approximately 950 million shares outstanding.

Unexpected returns of Ganite® in the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted in no net reported sales during the fourth quarter and $0.4 million for the year compared with sales of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in their respective comparison periods.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008 were $3.8 million and $20.0 million, respectively, compared with $1.2 million and $13.5 million for their comparison periods. The annual increase in expenses in 2008 is primarily due to the recognition in March 2008 of $2.5 million for license payments on tesetaxel, $1.0 million in accrued milestone payments related to tesetaxel and higher expenses resulting from the AGENDA clinical trial. These increases were partially offset by lower compensation expense, as the Company reduced its workforce to conserve cash in both April 2008 and in May 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008 were $1.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively, compared with $4.0 million and $16.9 million for their comparison periods. The reductions are primarily due to our efforts at lowering administrative expenses, lower office rent and lower compensation expense.

In May 2008, to reduce its ongoing expenses, the Company reduced its office space. The Company’s landlord received a termination payment of $1.3 million, comprised of security deposits, and the Company agreed to a future payment of $2.0 million upon the earlier of July 1, 2009 or Genta’s receipt of at least $5.0 million from a business development transaction. This agreement resulted in an incremental $3.3 million in expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008. In January 2009, we entered into another amendment of our agreement with our landlord whereby the future payment of $2.0 million is now payable on January 1, 2011. The Company will pay 6.0% interest in arrears to our landlord from July 1, 2009 through the new payment date. The first interest payment of approximately $30 thousand will be payable as of October 1, 2009.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company recorded an expense of $5.3 million that provided for the issuance of 2.0 million shares of Genta common stock, for a settlement in principle of class action litigation. This liability was marked to market until the date that the settlement became final, June 27, 2008. The fluctuation in the price of Genta’s common stock resulted in income of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and income of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In June 2008, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors to place up to $40.0 million of senior secured convertible notes. On June 9, 2008, the Company placed $20.0 million of such notes in the initial closing. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 15% payable at quarterly intervals in stock or cash at the Company's option, and are convertible into shares of Genta common stock at a conversion rate of 100,000 shares of common stock for every $1,000.00 of principal. The Company incurred a financing fee of $1.2 million, and in addition, issued a warrant to its financial advisor to purchase 40,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share.

On the date that the convertible notes were issued, there were an insufficient number of authorized shares of common stock in order to permit exercise of all of the issued convertible notes. In accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” when there are insufficient authorized shares, the conversion obligation for the convertible notes is classified as a liability measured at fair value on the balance sheet. On June 9, 2008, based on a Black-Scholes valuation model that included a closing price of Genta’s common stock of $0.20 per share, a fair value of the conversion feature of $380.0 million was calculated, and that amount that exceeded the proceeds of the $20.0 million initial closing, $360.0 million, was expensed. The Company recorded an initial discount of $20.0 million equal to the face value of the notes.

Similarly, the warrant was treated as a liability, and was recorded at a fair value of $7.6 million based upon the Black-Scholes valuation model and a closing price of Genta’s common stock of $0.20 per share. The $20 million in initial discount on the convertible note, the $7.6 million recorded upon the issuance of the warrant and the $1.2 million financing fee are being amortized over the two-year life of the note, resulting in amortization of deferred financing costs of $6.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008.

On October 6, 2008, the date on which our stockholders approved an amendment to Genta’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock available for issuance, we re-measured the conversion feature liability and warrant liability and credited them to Stockholders’ equity, resulting in income of $40.0 million and $0.8 million for the fourth quarter, respectively and total expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $460.0 million and $2.0 million for the year, respectively.

Net other expense was $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net other income of $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the prior-year comparison periods. This difference was due to accrued interest on the convertible notes and from lower investment income, resulting from lower investment balances.

At December 31, 2008, Genta had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $4.9 million compared with $7.8 million at December 31, 2007. During 2008, cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million compared with $31.7 million for the same period in 2007.

There is also a balance of $49,000,000 to be paid to Coates over 5 years, for the United States exclusive license which is in escrow until the balance of $7,500,000 is paid in full.
* Coates is proceeding with limited production in its plant in New Jersey as CSRV Generators are complete.

(EESO.pk) -- Bebida Beverage Enters Agreement with Enzyme Environmental Solutions

2009-02-11T17:31:00.000-08:00

FORT WAYNE, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 11, 2009 -- (Other OTC:EESO.PK - News) - Important note to shareholders: there was a discrepancy on the OS today; the OS has not been increased and this is being corrected promptly by the TA. This can be verified, if necessary, directly with Pacwest Transfer.

Environmental Solutions has had an incredible year thus far as its shareholders revel in the success of a recent retail licensing agreement to a network marketing entity poised to be a household name. The success is enhanced by materialization of deals with Bo and Su Lee (Star Towers, Inc. owners) for odor remediation in South Korea and new talks developing with an entity out of Canada regarding its work with garbage remediation in countries around the world including Jamaica and Ghana. On the Commercial side, EESO has recently secured a sizeable licensing and manufacturing agreement for an Enzyme-based Industrial Water Treatment and Pond Dye product with orders nationwide.

EESO recently solidified a deal with Bebida Beverage Company in which Bebida sought out EESO's proprietary enzymatic knowledge base for a new beverage line it is developing. "This brings another stream of revenue with upside potential to the company without any significant additional base costs," states Bill White, VP of Sales and Operations, "so deals like these are mutually beneficial both to our clients and to us in terms of profitability."

President and CEO of Enzyme Environmental Solutions, Jared Hochstedler is enthusiastic to add, "We'll be releasing last year's financials in detail so that shareholders and potential partners can see we're here for the long run. It's exciting to see our global initiative take hold so smoothly and it makes me very happy to announce that we will be releasing last year's financials as well as order-based forecasts for the end of this year. We'll do this before the shareholder's Open House on February 27th so it can truly be a celebration for all. All financials will be fully verifiable and will soundly prove our stock to be undervalued. While most companies are laying off thousands, we've taken on a larger work force and added a 2ndand 3rd shift to our day-to-day operations."

The financials for 2008 show sales in excess of 9 million dollars with 2009 expected to be exponentially higher based on both recent contracts and product order commitments.

(WNBD.pk) - Winning Brands Corp Targets Cruise Line Industry

2009-02-09T16:59:00.000-08:00

BARRIE, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 9, 2009 -- Winning Brands Corporation (Other OTC:WNBD.PK - News) (Frankfurt:WMU.F - News) (www.WinningBrands.ca) will appear for the first time in media channels that reach the world's entire cruise industry in order to launch its consumer/industrial stain removing product Winning Colours Stain Remover to all operators in the sector simultaneously. Winning Colours will be offered for use in stain treatment applications throughout all ships of over 120 global cruise lines. This expands Winning Brands' initial activity in the cruise sector with its proprietary SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning Solutions that have been helping to replace on-board dry cleaning solvents with safer alternatives. As of March 2009 Winning Brands begins a new multi-faceted marketing relationship with internationally renowned information provider World Cruise Industry Review (www.worldcruiseindustryreview.com) with the theme "Got Stains? Get the Solution!" Well known to industry professionals, the World Cruise Industry Review is also available on-line at http://digital.worldcruise-network.com in digital format. The Review is published and distributed to leaders and management throughout the cruise industry worldwide providing in-depth coverage of what is new and important in this sector.

Using its signature advertising question 'Got Stains?' Winning Colours Stain Remover begins its new marketing relationship with the internationally renowned World Cruise Industry Review in print and on-line commencing March 2009 to reach over 120 cruise ship operators around the world - and their passengers.

Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner explains the significance of this development as evidence of the growing maturity of the relatively young company -- "Winning Brands could not have taken this global step last year, let alone 3 years ago when WNBD began trading. It requires production and account servicing be handled to a standard needed by the world's most discerning clients. This takes time to develop -- and any attempt to replace the benefits of careful planning with promotion would not have accelerated readiness. Winning Colours Stain Remover is proving to be a hit with consumers wherever they may be and commercial enterprises wherever stains happen. As we have always asserted -- stains happen everywhere and are desired nowhere. This is particularly true of the world's cruise lines -- arguably the world's most sophisticated hospitality service providers. The versatility of Winning Colours Stain Remover as the solution to so many stain removing challenges in a single bottle puts it in a convenience class of its own."

Winning Colours Stain Remover is gaining a reputation in retailing circles for being "unique" at a time when that word is increasingly difficult to justify. The product is becoming the natural choice for mass merchants and professionals dealing with stains of various kinds because of Winning Colours' gentleness to skin and delicate surfaces like clothing, carpeting & upholstery, while still being strong as a solvent in tackling paint messes, grease, grime and gunk.

Winning Colours Stain Remover is best known in Canada where it was developed, however U.S. consumers and retailers have been noticing, with the result that American distribution arrangements continue to improve. With varying degrees of early preparation and testing, China, India, Italy and Australia are export markets receiving attention from Winning Brands' planners. "The world's cruise industry is the most logical bridge to international distribution; it is both figuratively and literally the intermediate step," adds Lehner. Winning Colours Stain Remover is available not only in consumer sizes of 125ml and 909ml, but a variety of larger commercial sizes for industry as well.

Winning Colours Stain Remover is manufactured by Winning Brands' production subsidiary Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd. Production takes place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil LLC and at Niagara Mist's St. Catharines, Ontario facilities. The mission of Winning Brands is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives in the cleaning sector. Other products manufactured by Winning Brands are used in professional garment care (SMART Wet Cleaning Solutions), domestic garment care (KIND Laundry Products), industry (CLEAN1 Professional All Purpose) and TrackMoist(TM) dust suppression solution for dirt tracks, construction sites and other settings where large quantities of water are used for dust abatement.

(CVIC.ob) - Cavico Corp Expects Strong Vietnamese Infrastructure Growth

2009-02-09T16:58:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES & HANOI, Vietnam--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cavico Corp. (“Cavico” or “the Company”) (OTC BB: CVIC - News), a leading infrastructure development company in Vietnam, today announced that the Company doesn’t foresee any negative impact on the Vietnamese government’s planned infrastructure spending for 2009 due to the current global financial crisis. Cavico management believes that infrastructure growth continues to remain top priority for Vietnam.

Martin Rama, the World Bank’s Acting Country in Vietnam, was quoted as saying “Vietnam’s forecast GDP growth will take the lead in the South East Asia next year,” explaining that Vietnam is better at dealing with crisis than other countries in the region thanks to its economic restructuring before. The high GDP forecast of 6.5% is based on Vietnam’s FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) attraction and exports. Despite the global downturn, Vietnam’s exports posted 34% growth from Jan-Nov, and attracted $59.3 billion in first ten months, which is equivalent to two thirds of the country’s GDP value. The World Bank also predicted that the government will boost spending in the coming months.

Vietnam has topped a list of 2008’s biggest investors in Laos, implementing 146 projects with a total investment capital of $758 million. Vietnam’s projects in Laos are predominantly in the fields of mining, agriculture and forestry product processing, and hydro-power plant construction in Southern Laos. Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Thongloun Sisoulith said in an interview that “Laos and Vietnam have enjoyed a close, long-lasting and historic relationship of friendship and cooperation in all aspects.”

“We continue to remain positive and confident of Vietnam’s strong growth potential. Cavico’s business growth is highly correlated to Vietnam’s economic and infrastructural development. Cavico is one of the largest and highly efficient hydropower and mining construction companies in the country. We believe Vietnam’s attractive growth outlook in 2009 combined with close ties with Laos will be favorable for Cavico’s future growth potential. In a span of two weeks in the month of January 2009 we have secured two hydropower tunnel construction projects, one in central Vietnam and one in Laos, totaled at $16 million,” commented Mr. Hung Manh Tran, executive vice president of Cavico Corp. “Our senior management has strong relationship with government officials which provide us a leading competitive edge and we expect to sign many more contracts in 2009.”

(CVIC.ob) - Cavico Corp Awarded New $6.2 Million Laos Tunnel Contract

2009-02-07T09:34:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES & HANOI, Vietman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cavico Corp. (“Cavico” or “the Company”) (OTC BB: CVIC - News), a leading infrastructure development company in Vietnam, today announced that on January 22, 2009 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cavico Bridge and Tunnel Construction (“Cavico Bridge”), was awarded a $6.2 million contract by Cooperativa Muratori e Cementisti – CMC di Ravenna (“CMC”), an Italian leading construction company, for tunnel construction work at Theun HinBoun Expansion Project in Laos.

Cavico Bridge and Tunnel will be responsible for constructing a 1000 meter long tunnel and a 45 meters deep dismantling shaft. The company expects to complete the construction in 24 months and the first phase of the project will involve road preparation to transport Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which is expected to be completed by July 2009.

Theun HinBoun Power Company (“THPC”) is the owner and operator of the existing 220-Megawatt Theun HinBoun hydropower, which is currently in operation in Bolikhamsai province. In September 2008, THPC contracted CMC as the main contractor for Theun HinBoun Expansion Project after receiving approval from the Laos government to construct an additional hydropower plant in the same area of the existing plant. Electricity generated from this plant will be sold to the neighboring country, Thailand.

“The Laos government has demonstrated significant encouragement to Vietnam for exploring hydropower opportunities in the country. The government plans to build about 50 to 60 large and small sized plants in this country,” commented Mr. Hai Thanh Tran, vice president of Cavico. “Laos has gained increased importance for contractors like Cavico and we see this as a great opportunity and a potential market place. We believe contracting with Theun HinBoun Expansion Project will open new doors of prospects for Cavico to enter other markets in addition to Vietnam, both as an investor and contractor.”

(MONA.pk) - Mon Arc Corporation Explains Special Dividend Policy

2009-02-07T09:28:00.000-08:00

MONTREAL, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - www.monacorporation.com - The Company (MONA) has been receiving a very high volume of investor enquiries regarding the status of dividends that have been previously announced. Investors should note that all of the dividends previously announced are still forthcoming, but there have been unforeseen delays in processing and executing the distribution of these dividends, which are beyond the control of the company.

Many of the delays that have been encountered relate to the complexity of calculating the quantity of shares or cash amounts to be distributed and determining the accuracy of the distribution to shareholders entitled to receive them. The company's transfer agency has been working diligently with the various regulatory bodies to ensure that these distributions are handled in a manner that can reliably verify the accuracy of the distribution process. The fact that a number of these dividends require the identification of shareholders at a previous point in time, and verification that qualifying shareholders have held shares continuously between the Date of Record and the ex-dividend date as announced, have led to some unanticipated difficulties. Until these are resolved to the satisfaction of all regulatory parties, the dividends cannot be distributed. Moreover the company is still to receive some of these as payment in order to make a distribution.

The dividends in question include the following:

1. A cash dividend declared on October 7, 2008, of $0.20 per share is to
be paid to shareholders who have held their shares continuously since
September 30th, 2005. A certain provision excludes payment to
management, insiders, and founders of MonArc Group, adding to the
complexity of the calculations. This cash dividend was allocated and
designated to shareholders who invested in the company in 2005 when
the company's operations were crippled by the 4 consecutive
hurricanes which effected the company's operations while it was
located in Florida.
2. Each qualified share of MONA will receive 0.123 shares of Emerald
stock in respect of the spin-off of Sino Medica into the Emerald
Capital Group (3EM Frankfurt Exchange). The dividend is to be paid to
shareholders of record as of February 1, 2008. It is MonArc
managements understanding that this company is in the process of
being moved to Pink Sheets from Frankfurt.
3. A stock dividend of 0.0026 shares of Landstar Corporation (LDSR) for
each share of MonArc Corporation will be distributed to shareholders
of record as of February 1, 2008 in respect of the MonArc Group
interest of a spin-off of Hubei Chuguan Industry Co. Ltd. to Landstar
in December, 2008.
4. A stock dividend of shares of RMD Entertainment, Inc. (RMDM) shares
will be distributed in respect of the spin-off of Beijing Innotrek
Technology Co. Ltd. into RMD Entertainment in October, 2008. A total
of 2.4 shares of RMD Entertainment (RMDM) will be distributed for
each share of MonArc Corporation held on the date of record of
October 16, 2008. The total number of shares anticipated to be
distributed is approximately 1,000,000,000. MonArc has not received
these shares yet as this company is in the process of obtaining a new
CUSIP number and a new trading symbol including a stock reverse. MONA
agents are currently in China discussing various options available to
both companies. One option under consideration may involve a post
reverse stock distribution and another where MONA would in a capacity
as a shareholder only acquire and keep acquiring RMDM shares on the
open market. The company sees this as a win win for all concerned and
its recommendations are under review by the RMDM management and its
legal advisors.

The Company is working to ensure that problems with the previous stock dividend of shares of Good Life China Corporation (GLCC) are not repeated. The management sub come to the shareholders pressure to issue these dividends, did so prematurely with the restrictive legend attached "restricted shares". In the case of the GLCC stock dividend, many shareholders had their shares directed to their brokerage houses, who in turn as we are advised, recorded the shares under the fictitious ticker symbol "GOLIF" in order to identify them as restricted shares. The Company has been advised by many of its shareholders that there have been difficulties with this distribution, as the brokerage houses in question are requiring a legal opinion from each shareholder attesting to the fact that the shares can have their restrictive legends removed be provided by each individual shareholder. The company has also learned that Good Life China management franticly tried to recall the dividend as it learned that some of the recipients received their stock as free trading from their brokers, which eroded much of their values on relatively small trades. The management does not intend to make the same mistake again.

To address this issue, the Company will be holding the upcoming share dividends in escrow, until they are satisfactorily aged, and allowed to be distributed as free trading shares under the SEC rules and regulations, with the legal opinion letter attached when distributed to the brokers.

The Company is optimistic that the complications encountered in providing sufficient verification regarding the accuracy of these distributions is close to being resolved, and will be providing updates on developments on a timely basis. The company verily believes that this dividend calculation difficulty is further compounded by the extreme shorting which affected the company's security over the years. Briefly with a name change and a CUSIP change the company was able to shake the short sellers off. Moreover, as evidenced by the ongoing litigation in Toronto Canada where amongst other things the company's previous agents are seeking an injunction against the stock bashers and a blog type web site Investors Hub that caters and harbours these individuals, which encourages factual company information to be removed or deleted while slanderous and erroneous self serving comments designed and crafted by short sellers with the sole intent to exploit the novice shareholders.

Aforementioned dividends # 2 and # 3 namely Sino Medica and Land Star were earned as a consulting fee by the company's Secretary Garr Winters for the benefit of MonArc Group while the company was engaged in the business of a USA based SPC company for the Chinese markets. It should be noted that investors qualifying for these various dividends can expect to receive dividends that will have a material value in relation to MonArc's current share price.

According to the company records, and notwithstanding various financing and recapitalizations the company undertook to acquire these assets and or interests in these assets, which are now being distributed to its shareholders in their entirety, the current actual share structure and float is exorbitant, extensive, and extravagantly, in favour of the company shareholders in comparison to what the market price currently reflects. The company is hopeful that these dividends once calculated and paid out will not only expose the activities of this blog web site and its dark propaganda machine which prays on the novice, and inexperienced shareholders, but will also rain in the short sellers and their activities which went on undetected for a prolonged period of time.

The company wishes to use this opportunity to advise its shareholders that in these currently depressed economic times, MONA remains a viable healthy company with good resources both financially and in human resources with its ITI Bio Tech company flourishing.

(INIX.pk) - iFinix Corp Releases Positive Shareholder Letter

2009-02-04T17:51:00.000-08:00

PLAINVIEW, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 3, 2009 -- iFinix Corp (Other OTC:INIX.PK - News), a provider of real-time financial information and services to active traders and to the securities industry, is pleased to update its shareholders.

First of all I would like to take this opportunity to wish all iFinix shareholders a happy and healthy new year. The management of iFinix is very optimistic that 2009 will be a happy and productive year for the company.

I am acutely aware that investors are anxious to be brought up to date on all recent developments in the company, especially those regarding announcements the company has made since my appointment as CEO of iFinix. However, the new management and I have determined that it is not in the company's best interest to generate pre-mature announcements regarding forward-looking company developments. Inevitably, everything takes longer than expected to accomplish. This only tends to dishearten our shareholders and causes the management and myself to lose credibility. We have determined that it is in the best interest of the shareholders to first work diligently on achieving those goals which we set forth for the company rather than waste time putting out "fluffy" press releases.

When I was put in control of the company in June 2008, I faced many difficulties within the company and made the decision, that in order to turn the company around we had to withdraw our software from the market for a complete revision and upgrading, and focus our efforts on acquiring 100% of Proactive Futures in an all cash transaction. Since we took ownership of Proactive, the company's revenue has grown and today Proactive is a cash flow positive company. The parent company iFinix Corp will now be able to sustain itself from the cash flow generated by its subsidiary Proactive Futures. We have succeeded in stabilizing the company and continue to increase the revenues of Proactive. We are also looking forward to continued growth by entering the Forex market through our joint venture with Island Forex Trading. We have accomplished the above by staying focused and working diligently towards moving forward. We believe we can steadily increase the revenues of each of our trading divisions. This alone should make iFinix Corp. a significantly profitable company.

I can say with confidence that the "promises" I made to you are soon to become a reality, however I will announce each and every development only when it becomes a reality.

Our intent is to continue to aggressively build our base of commodities traders in Proactive, develop a broad base of forex traders and also enter into the equity trading arena. Our goal is to make iFinix Corporation a holding company consisting of multiple subsidiaries and to create a fully synergistic group of operating companies, offering a full range of complementary products and services to active traders and the institutional and retail investment community. We also endeavor to have a significant number of traders in the aforementioned markets and then bring forth our newly developed state of the art trading software to each trader in all three of our trading divisions. In other words our strategy is to bring our software to our traders rather than try to bring traders to our software.

Furthermore, once our trading entities demonstrate that our platforms are the "cutting edge" technology available in its space, we will then set forth to license it to other trading firms and market it to individual subscribers.

In conclusion, we are now ready to move forward more aggressively. My promise to you now is that 2009 will be a very promising year for iFinix.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETNL.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand funeral products, today announced that it will begin selling its first line of youth caskets early in the second quarter of this year. Prototype production has already commenced.

“There is nothing more agonizing for a parent than burying a child, yet until now there have been no funerary products designed to reflect the child’s life – everything has been very staid and stoic,” said Clint Mytych, CEO, Eternal Image. “Our Precious Moments products will reflect the innocence and beauty of childhood and allow families to personalize how they say goodbye to their own precious young family member.”

Due to demand from distributors and funeral homes, the line will launch about 10 months earlier than planned.

“Because we have been able to completely design and manufacture these products within the United States, we have been able to bring them to market far more quickly,” added Mytych.

The line will include caskets that are gender specific and will be available in all traditional youth sizes.

(ESYE.ob) -- Easy Energy Inc's YoGen Being Fit to Military Standards

2009-02-02T18:13:00.000-08:00

LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 2, 2009 -- Easy Energy, Inc. (OTC BB:ESYE.OB - News), the sole owner of the YoGen® product suite, a line of highly innovative, compact, ergonomically efficient manpowered generators, designed for use recharging portable electronic devices ranging in size from cell phones to laptop computers, is pleased to announce that it has begun the process of adapting its YoGen® stand-alone hand-powered charger, currently built to standards appropriate for personal/commercial (civilian) use, to fit military quality standards.

The company further announced that it is in negotiations with procurement officials of the military of one nation (unnamed for reasons of security and confidentiality), with the goal of developing an agreement to supply their forces with a military version of the YoGen® charger, and is looking forward to entering discussions with representatives of the military of a second country in early February.

"We are extremely encouraged by the interest being shown in the YoGen® charger by various military organizations and are proceeding, without delay, to fit our charger to military specifications," commented Guy Ofir, CEO of Easy Energy, Inc. "The use of hand-held electronic devices is pervasive in today's military operations, and the difficulties presented in keeping them fully charged and ready for use on the battlefield are many. With the charging capability provided by YoGen®, the ground soldier will be able to sustain the operations of his communications devices, GPS, etc. in combat, without the need for weighty spare batteries or concern about the inevitable lack of conventional charging sources. We believe that the availability of a military version of the YoGen® charger would, in all probability, make a significant contribution to the success of any combat operation."

The YoGen® is available in two models for the commercial market, the basic version, which is a stand-alone hand-powered charger, and the premium version, that additionally includes a backup 650 mAh 3.7V battery which will provide charging power either when mechanically activated or via the battery when it is carrying a charge. For convenience, the premium version provides an SOC indicator, which advises the user of the charge state of the battery. The YoGen® devices represent a significant breakthrough in manpowered chargers in that, in addition to their extremely compact size, they are able to produce a uniquely high ratio of electrical output to human energy input and are far less tiring to operate than competitive units. In other words, these chargers have advanced the user friendliness and economics of this technology to the point at which they become eminently practical and desirable as a means to fill a void in an almost limitless market.

About Easy Energy:

Easy Energy, Inc. (OTC BB:ESYE.OB - News) is the sole owner of the YoGen® product suite of compact man-powered generators, which are designed to provide an innovative and effective solution to the currently underserved need of the almost limitless users of portable electronics devices for a power source that will ensure those devices' ability to operate in circumstances in which conventional recharging sources are unavailable. Included in the product line are the basic YoGen®, a slim, pocket-sized charger for small devices such as cell phones, GPS, iPODs, etc., which is operated by a convenient pull-cord; the YoGen Max(TM), a compact, fold-up foot-driven charger for laptop computer sized devices which also includes its own battery pack; and the most recently prototyped YoGen Bat(TM), which will replace a conventional cell phone battery and provide pull-cord charging capability without the need for a stand-alone charger.

(FFGO.pk) -- Fortress Financial Group Plans Reverse Merger

2009-02-02T18:10:00.000-08:00

NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 2, 2009 -- Fortress Financial Group, Inc. (Other OTC:FFGO.PK - News) confirms that it is now in final discussions which, if successful, will result in the Company entering a new Industry Sector. This will result in a Name, CUSIP Number and Trading Symbol change.

The Company was not in a position until this point to conclude any deals; but with the Company now being in a position to pay its stockholders the remaining and outstanding Stock Dividends, Management was placed in a position to now actively negotiate and conclude previously planned transactions for the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. This is primarily due to the removal of all negativity towards the Company with the payment of the Stock Dividends, this having being the major "stumbling block" for the Company's Management until now.

It is expected that this Reverse Merger will be consummated prior to the Dividend payouts; stockholders may rest assured that this will not in any way affect the date of the payments nor dilute the Extraordinary Dividend whatsoever.

(ETNL.pk) - Eternal Image Renews MLB Licensing Rights

2009-01-27T17:23:00.000-08:00

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETNL.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand image funerary products, today announced that it has renewed its licensing agreement with Major League Baseball™ for another two years.

“The acceptance of our Major League Baseball product line has been all we could have hoped for,” said Clint Mytych, president, Eternal Image. “The urns have sold well since the launch in early 2007. The first production run of caskets, which became available at the end of 2008, sold out within a week, and the medallions made a major splash at the National Funeral Directors Expo in October. Our next goal is to bring all 30 teams to market and to continue to expand our distribution through our recent national agreements with Wilbert Funeral Services and Church & Chapel Metal Arts.”

The initial MLB™ urn and casket lines include twenty of the thirty teams. The balance of the team caskets will enter production in the next three to four months.

“Major League Baseball’s licensing program has always been predicated on supporting what our fans want, and since these products are tastefully done, we’re happy to put our stamp on them and help satisfy our fans’ unique passion for baseball,” said Howard Smith, Senior Vice President, Licensing, Major League Baseball. “Eternal Images has done a great job fulfilling our fans’ desire to extend that passion into their last wishes, and we’re glad to continue working with them.”

For the two-day period of December 2 and 3, Eternal Image set a company sales order record due in part to the launch of the MLB caskets. EI filled pre-orders that had been on waiting lists since plans for the product line had been announced. The company then distributed nearly every casket left in inventory to funeral homes and distributors, resulting in a one-month sales total greater than the entire previous third quarter.

(INTK.pk) - Industrial Nanotech Reports Triple Digit Year Over Year Revenue Growth

2009-01-26T16:13:00.000-08:00

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK - News), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, today announced that the Company maintained its track record of triple digit year over year revenue growth for the 4th consecutive year with gross revenues in 2008 of $1.414 Million.

“Our sole corporate focus was on maintaining our historical significant revenue growth rate in 2008 despite the difficulties created by the global economic crisis and we succeeded,” stated Stuart Burchill, CEO/CTO of Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “The inherent value of our technologies to consumers and industries worldwide and our hard work are the core great strengths of this company. This is not to say we didn’t have some disappointments related to the financial turmoil, because we did. An example is the deal for 10 shipping containers of our product destined for a major textile plant in Turkey that we began filling last fall and which was subsequently put on hold due to the deterioration of the credit markets while the customer negotiates new credit lines with their financial institutions. However, we are pleased with our ability to overcome those unexpected setbacks and still produce a 184% year over year growth rate in 2008. It is a testimony to our products, our staff, our scientists, and our network of exclusive distributors and independent representatives.”

Mr. Burchill continued, “Additionally, many of the larger deals with multi-year closing cycles are still moving forward. Our team in Brazil confirmed as recently as January 8th of this year that the projects we are involved in with Petrobras are not being scaled back despite lower oil prices. Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), Mexico's state-owned petroleum company, the 10th largest oil company in the world in terms of revenue, has requested a meeting with me at their headquarters in Mexico City in February to provide technical guidelines and specifications for a pipeline project and a fuel tank project they have planned for 2009. Other projects include an upcoming application of Nansulate High Heat and Nansulate EPX by Lyondell Chemical in Houston on large chemical tanks to insulate and protect from corrosion. Lyondell Chemical has 17 plants throughout the country. A state corrections department contract, which is in the initial phase, will begin using Nansulate on the interior walls of cells. Clearly, we are growing this business and our ability to not only survive, but to thrive, in the adverse climate of 2008 is a valuable indicator that we have what it takes to get the job done.”

About Nansulate(R)

Nansulate(R) is the Company's patented product line of specialty coatings containing a nanotechnology based material and which are well-documented to provide the combined performance qualities of thermal insulation, corrosion prevention, resistance to mold growth, and lead encapsulation in an environmentally safe, water-based, coating formulation.

(EESO.PK) - Enzyme Environmental Solutions Announces $52 Million Contract Negotiation

2009-01-23T16:58:00.000-08:00

FORT WAYNE, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 23, 2009 -- Enzyme Environmental Solutions (Other OTC:EESO.PK - News) announces today that the letter of intent with Star Towers, Inc., Bo and Su Lee of Atlanta, Georgia, is now ready to move into the negotiation of a contract phase.

The letter of intent was announced publicly by EESO in a press release dated December 4, 2008. The release explained the pending relationship between Enzyme Environmental Solutions and the Lees whose many projects include both domestic and international development. One of their larger domestic projects is the Star Towers project in Atlanta, GA (www.star-towers.com).

The Letter of Intent directly relates to the Lees' work in South Korea focusing on odor and garbage remediation with use of EESO's proprietary technology, Pit Solution® and their FG-500®, "an enzyme based compost solution for food waste which will be sold primarily to restaurants to eliminate food waste and pollution which has grown at an increasingly alarming rate."

LPMC, the firm negotiating with EESO for the Lees, has secured the last phase of testing to be completed in South Korea with a private firm. Also participating in the final test are representatives of the South Korean Government. The testing should be completed within two weeks. The tests were expanded due to the initial LOI estimates of approximately $28,500,000 over seven years, which has escalated an additional 85% which equates to $52,725,000 over a seven-year period. Initially this includes only a portion of companies that Star Towers, Inc. has entered into negotiations with. The contract with Star Towers will include many areas of South Korea. Hochstedler and the Lees are mutually satisfied thus far with the proceedings.

Bo Lee, a Star Towers, Inc. founder, says, "We are very pleased with this expansion and are looking forward to entering into this final phase. The technology that Enzyme Environmental Solutions will provide is a substantial if not entire remedy to the issues we face in South Korea and we look forward to considering their solutions both domestically and internationally as there seems to be a lot we will be able to do together with our other business relationships."

Jared Hochstedler, CEO of EESO, states, "Our director of sales Gene Sherrill has been, for the last week and will continue into next week, negotiating with two American Companies for the distribution rights for our proprietary Pit Solution® within the United States. These are exciting times for EESO and its shareholders. We are pleased with the progress that Bill White and Gene Sherrill have made and are committed to furthering our efforts in pursuit of expanding our customer base on the commercial and industrial side of the business while preparing for the inevitable successes provided by the recent agreements with Wow Green International. The Wow Green deal has already provided us with attractive numbers for the year and these are based on conservative estimates in regards to product demand."

The Wow Green opportunity gives everyone a chance to work in concert with both companies' missions toward a 'cleaner world. Safer planet' while 'freeing the world of toxic chemicals, one household at a time.' At the same time, Wow Green International is boasting the most attractive compensation plan for distributors in a network marketing program to date with a strategically designed matrix that allows for a long-term success with plans for an international expansion in 18-24 months. If you are looking to participate as a Wow Green distributor, EESO has purchased www.wowgreenlaunch.com in order to give every investor an opportunity to sign up as a distributor directly under EESO which will give top priority placement to the distributor as well as enhance company revenues with a distributor force directly under the company. Please visit www.wowgreenlaunch.com and follow the instructions on the site to sign up for this rare pre-launch opportunity.

We believe PocketFinder devices will validate the magazine’s assessment when we release the product this quarter.”

The PocketFinder family of products uses advanced technology to help families stay connected. As the smallest known single-board GSM/GPS device, it fits easily into a pocket, purse or backpack and can be accessed via the Internet, cell phone or landline to show the device’s exact location in real time. The devices also include advanced features such as allowing users to designate customizable alert areas as electronic “fences” to notify them when a family member or pet enters or leaves a specified area. The devices can even track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions.

PocketFinder has succeeded in integrating its innovative service into both the iPhone (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG - News) Android platforms, permitting any authorized family member to locate any PocketFinder-enabled smartphone.

(EESO.pk) - Enzyme Environmental Leans To Licensing Strategy

2009-01-12T17:27:00.000-08:00

FORT WAYNE, IN--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 12, 2009 -- (Other OTC:EESO.PK - News) - Enzyme Environmental Solutions, Inc. has been under several negotiations over the past several months marketing its commercial and retail product line while tending to research, development and exposure on its unique enzyme based solutions in odor remediation and converting auto residue into fuel-oil with its GC2000 unit. All the while offers have been coming in toward licensing the unique formulas from various companies all over the world.

Jared Hochstedler, CEO was resistant to such offers at first but states in a recent interview: "We started out with our own product line that we were passionate about placing on retail shelves in an effort to get our clean, green formulas in every house in America. We've had success, but larger entities actually cost us more money to implement and we've decided it doesn't make sense on the larger level. Starting out, we were well aware of the unbalanced trading position between suppliers like us and large purchasing chains which could result in losses for the company monetarily, but, strategically placed, could work well as exposure mechanisms while smaller chains could serve as profit models; however, recent offers and negotiations have caused our team to 'rethink our identity' toward collective benefit regarding our company, its shareholders and consumers worldwide. The important thing to consider is that our mission, as our logo suggests, is to help diminish our carbon footprint overall, yes, but also to tend to crucial pending issues. Recent research and theories in Autism and tragic cases such as with John Travolta's son, Jett, last week which result in theories linking diseases and disorders to chemical based products that most people use on a daily basis, are reasons enough for us to consider getting creative with our business model to ensure that every person is at least educated to the damages that chemical based household and industrial products can have on our children, our spouses, our pets and our world community while maintaining, if not increasing, profitability."

And with that, the dawn of a new era for Enzyme Environmental Solutions as they manifest into an International Biotechnology Licensing Company toward product exposure worldwide, "no matter whose name is on the label." Hochstedler adds, "There are many amazing people, manufacturers and distributors out there that care about our planet more than they do making money and many of the most admirable have found avenues toward the best of both worlds. We're finding synergies in the commercial realm quite often and the past several months, we have been working diligently behind closed doors negotiating such a union with a promising company I have the utmost respect for and belief in."

"All we can say at this point," declares Bill White, Vice President of Sales and Operations, "is that this is going to be an enormous coup for our retail product technology totaling millions of dollars per year in licensing revenue in what I feel will be the largest network marketing operation spearheading the ever present Green Revolution." Last night in Novi, Michigan during a private celebration, the button was pressed to launch www.wowgreen.net internationally. More details to come regarding the agreement between Enzyme Environmental Solutions, Inc. and Wow Green International. Enzyme Environmental's company website, www.enzymeconsultants.com, will be going through changes over the next few months to reflect their position as a biotech licensing firm and "I think shareholders will be very pleased with our decisions thus far and the tremendous results they are providing us toward expansion and stability despite the current economic downtrend," adds White.

In addition, GTX Corp retained the services of Code Amber's management team, Bryant Harper (President) and Linda Spagnoli (Director of Communications), pursuant to consulting agreements.

Many companies have been impacted by the current economic climate and face significant near-term challenges. The company's cash position gives us the ability to help weather this storm. Management is making adjustments to preserve its cash position while the economy works to overcome the temporary setbacks caused by the collapse of the global financial markets, such as reducing management's cash compensation.

True to its seven year history, GTX Corp is committed to providing innovative technology platforms that locate people in real-time and continues to invest in its future for the benefit of its shareholders, employees, customers and the communities it serves.

(OCTL.ob) - Octillion Corp. Files Patents and Looks to Harness Vehicular Kinetic Energy

2009-01-06T21:35:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Octillion Corp. (OTCBB: OCTL - News), a next-generation alternative and renewable energy technology developer, today announced the appointment of energy-capture experts and engineers, Mr. Stuart Brown, PhD, MBA, and Mr. Brian S. Hendrickson, to the Company’s Advisory Board.

Dr. Stuart Brown and Mr. Brian S. Hendrickson are published authorities in the field of energy harvesting, and are credited with numerous inventions, innovations, and patents in several engineering applications, including the capture of wasted energy for generating electricity -- a key objective in Octillion’s research and development of technologies to generate electricity from the wasted energy of moving vehicles.

Engineers envision that wasted kinetic energy from the movement of an estimated 6,000,000 trucks and 250,000,000 cars on America’s roadways could serve as a potential source for generating valuable electricity, the fastest growing form of end-use energy in the world. Octillion’s engineering teams have designed specific systems and patent-pending technologies to enable the capture of such wasted energy of vehicles in motion for converting it into electricity.

In recent weeks, the Company has accelerated its engineering efforts and unveiled early details of its designed energy capture systems, which engineers anticipate are manufacturable, reliable, and resistant to damage from vehicles, road debris or weather. Among key feature considerations of the systems are the important ability to:

* Adapt to the unique characteristics of different vehicles to optimize the amount of energy captured;
* Reduce or avoid potentially undesirable effects on safety, comfort of vehicle occupants, and the stability of cargo;
* Adaptively monitor or regulate the speed or acceleration (or deceleration) of vehicles.

Incorporating these important features, Octillion recently filed several patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as part of the Company’s initiative to build its intellectual property portfolio and protect its future commercial rights as inventor-developer of these new technologies.

[View Octillion’s December 16, 2008 press release, unveiling key features of the Company’s energy capture system and related patent filings: http://www.octillioncorp.com/OCTL_20081216.html]

(AGWS.ob) - Organic Growing Systems, Inc Grows Intellectal Portfolio

2008-12-29T18:52:00.000-08:00

ALPHARETTA, GA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 29, 2008 -- Organic Growing Systems, Inc.(OGSI), a subsidiary of Advanced Growing Systems, Inc. (OTC BB:AGWS.OB - News), announces today that it has received notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that "Organisan" is now an officially registered U.S. Trademark.

Organisan was developed in conjunction with Venture Chemicals and is exclusively utilized in OGSI's pelletized and granular organic fertilizers. "Organisan is a specialized and proprietary blend of Chitosan that acts as a nutrient additive, binder and lubricant in our Top 4-2-2 product," stated Mark Nichols, President and CEO of Organic Growing Systems, Inc. "Chitosan has been well documented to have a variety of beneficial agricultural properties, including nematode control, antifungal applications, plant health, plant defense applications and foliar feeds," he added.

Nichols added, "Nematode problems are becoming more and more pervasive at golf courses throughout the Southeast. We are working in conjunction with several prominent superintendents and golf laboratories and are experiencing very exciting results." The following experience came from Mike Platt, the Director of Golf Operations at the Indian River State College in Port St. Lucie, Florida:

"At Indian River State College, the Golf Course Operations Program's Golf Laboratory is just like any other golf course with weed, insect, disease and nematode challenges. On the second hole, one of our USGA greens that the students had reconstructed three years previously, we were having a tough time getting full coverage on the left side of the green no matter what we threw at it. We suspected nematodes since spotted spurge was present. After pulling a soil test to confirm that this was the case, we followed the normally prescribed remedies, including an application of a nematicide, with no luck. Finally, one of our advisory board members suggested using the Organic Growing Systems chicken litter mixture.

After aerifiying and topdressing the green, I applied the product with little hope of seeing any real results. One of my student interns asked, "Is this stuff really going to work, Mr. Platt?" and I replied, "I don't know, but what could it hurt?"

Well not only did results come fast, but they have been exceptional. Within two weeks, strong stolon growth could be seen converging to cover the area. Less than a month after the application, the green was completely submerged for more than 4 days in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Fay. It recovered faster than any of the others on the golf lab. I believe that the Organic Growing Systems chicken litter not only greatly aided in the recovery from the nematode damage, but also created a healthier turfgrass that could sustain the flooding to which we were subjected. It is now a major tool that we use."

Organisan II, a concentrated liquid version of OGSI's proprietary Chitosan blend utilized in our pelletized products will be formally introduced February 2nd, 2009 at the Golf Industry Show in New Orleans.

(NMKT.pk) - NewMarket Diversifies its Regional Influence

2008-12-23T19:42:00.000-08:00

DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 23, 2008 -- NewMarket Technology, Inc. (Other OTC:NMKT.PK - News) CEO Philip M. Verges today released a letter to shareholders. The letter addresses the Company's upcoming virtual Town Hall scheduled for January, its plans for Kenya, updates on its Chinese and Latin American subsidiaries, a planned management buyback and the Company's progress towards an exchange listing. The letter is included in its entirety below.

Dear Shareholders --

Last week I published a letter to shareholders announcing our upcoming virtual Town Hall scheduled for January. In the letter, I extensively reviewed topics that would not be part of the upcoming Town Hall. The Town Hall will focus on reviewing NewMarket's projected historically high 2008 operational performance and NewMarket's plans for 2009.

In the virtual Town Hall, we will feature our updated strategy for continuing to grow our technology services footprint in additional emerging markets around the world. NewMarket's greatest successes have come from our core technology service offerings in emerging markets, to date in those of Asia and Latin America. Much of our growth has been achieved by acquiring and investing in systems integration companies local to those markets. In each emerging market where NewMarket has acquired and invested in a systems integration company, the acquired company has grown significantly within the first 24 months after the acquisition in most cases. Today, our operations in China produce over $40 million in annual revenue, and our operations in Latin America have grown to over $20 million in annual revenue.

The Emerging Market Opportunity for Technology Service Providers

The Internet and its use is expanding around the world. While those countries recognized as world powers have high per capita Internet usage, in most emerging markets only a fraction of the population has gained access to the Internet. A technology service provider has tremendous growth potential in an emerging market facilitating the inevitable growth of the Internet as consumers and businesses in the region gain access. The growth of the Internet and regional access is just one indicator of technology demand growth in a region, but is one we can, in general, easily identify with when discussing the growth opportunity for technology service providers. For example, the expansion of the Internet drives sales of hardware, such as switches, routers and hubs, as well as PCs and other peripherals, and the sales of the corresponding software applications, from PC software to corporate databases and business software solutions. All of these building block hardware, software and networking technologies have to be sold, installed, often customized, and constantly maintained and updated. That's what NewMarket does as a technology service provider and systems integrator, and the Company has established an impressive track record as an emerging market technology service provider.

Kenya as an Example of the Emerging Market Opportunity

NewMarket has targeted Kenya as an emerging market opportunity. If you will recall, we have been invited to speak at the upcoming African Advanced Level Telecommunications Institute (AFRALTI) WiMax Conference in Nairobi and last year participated in the "Connecting Rural Communities Africa Forum 2007," also in Nairobi. We have been developing the Company's opportunities and relationships for the Kenyan market for some time.

Kenya has fiber-optic cable installed throughout the country, and three submarine cables under construction -- one to Dubai, one to India and one to South Africa. With a population of around 38 million people, Kenya has only about 3 million Internet users today. The groundwork has already been laid for a rapid increase in Internet penetration. NewMarket plans to be prepared to provide the necessary products and services to facilitate and profit from the inevitable Internet usage demand growth and related government and business technology needs in Kenya.

In the upcoming virtual Town Hall, I will discuss our Greenfield strategy for opening new emerging markets -- a strategy we will trial in Kenya.

NewMarket and the Over the Counter Marketplaces

In my previous letter, I addressed in more detail the short selling problems NewMarket has encountered (http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/081217/0461105.html). The NewMarket shareholders have watched revenues and profits increase and share price decrease. NewMarket management cannot single-handedly fix the economic issues impacting the share price, but we can get smarter about avoiding the market abuse that has plagued the share price. NewMarket remains confident that the OTC and OTCBB markets, regardless of all their issues, still provide an excellent opportunity for shareholders to realize a return on investment. OTC and OTCBB listed companies can deliver long-term and short-term returns. However, OTC and OTCBB markets do not generally support a seamless transition for an early stage company to mature into a later stage company and deliver a long-term return. Early stage OTC and OTCBB listed companies can produce exceptional short-term returns generated by milestone events. For example, the early stage company may file a patent, sign a notable contract or perhaps announce a quality board member. None of these milestones will necessarily guarantee long term success for the company, but each milestone is likely to create a short-term share price increase by demonstrating the long-term potential of the company's plan. A milestone share price increase will likely also attract subsequent short selling. Short sellers will bet on the milestone not being adequate to support long-term success. After all, sixty percent of start-ups fail within three years after launching. While making a legitimate bet on an early stage company not succeeding in the long-term, that short sale bet can be illegally waged by failing to legitimately borrow shares. Unchecked short selling creates a counterfeit, artificial supply of shares and the laws of supply and demand often take over and help to drive a share price down.

Nevertheless, a legitimate opportunity exists to purchase shares before a milestone event and take a profit when the milestone is achieved. Legitimate retail investors can make legitimate returns even though illegal short selling will likely continue in the foreseeable future. The challenge is to find and qualify potential milestone events and make winning bets on the right milestone opportunities.

Long-term Profits from Early Stage OTC and OTCBB Investments

Retail investors can also realize excellent long-term returns on OTC and OTCBB quoted companies. OTC and OTCBB quoted companies generally have substantially lower market capitalizations when compared to similar operations listed on exchanges (the OTC and OTCBB are only public quotation systems, not exchanges). Accordingly, as an OTC or OTCBB listed company transitions from its early stage beginnings and manages to have its share price recognized in comparison to its exchange listed brethren, a substantial return can be realized by long-term investors. However, that early stage business that matures, regardless of its operational success, has likely experienced a fair amount of share price volatility (see above on short-term milestone returns) and it has also probably issued a large number of shares in conjunction with fundraising and acquisitions. The shareholder base is correspondingly likely to be weary from the journey that started with a reverse merger and brought the company to its current stage.

The challenge to transition from generating short-term milestone returns to delivering long-term capital appreciation is one of revitalizing the shareholders, and as part of that revitalization, halting the ongoing issuance of stock. Before a shareholder revitalization, short sellers will continue to exploit profit opportunities by demoralizing weary shareholders into giving up hope in a long-term return and otherwise releasing their stock at a loss. The short seller is of course happy to purchase that stock and close out their short position. To anyone that does not believe in short seller manipulation, try to offer an alternative explanation to who is buying stock when others are selling stock while the share price is going down.

NewMarket Long-Term Return, Exchange Listing and Management Buyback

2008 looks to be a historically high year for NewMarket's operations. The Company has continued to grow and is on track to report historically high revenue. Notably, NewMarket has not made an acquisition in over two years, so the Company's growth is the result of increased organic sales. The Company may realize historically high net income as well, however, we have not yet finalized all decisions on how cash produced by operations might be utilized in the best interest of shareholders.

Management is considering the use of some cash produced by operations as part of an effort to reduce or eliminate debt. However, using cash to reduce or eliminate debt is not management's primary strategy to reduce debt, and we maintain that the best use of cash produced by operations is for the ongoing support of operations.

You may recall that the Company entered into a $7 million debt transaction just over one year ago. The $7 million debt transaction consisted of a $4 million term note and a $3 million revolving line of credit. We have already retired the $3 million revolving line of credit, and management has been endeavoring, on behalf of the Company, to borrow the necessary funds for management to replace the $4 million term note. Management's intention is to convert the $4 million term note to a secondary class of equity that would not be convertible to common stock. Management's only exit from that security would be the sale of the Company. The risk of additional common stock being issued to reduce the $4 million debt would be eliminated. If the lender has sold NewMarket stock short to hedge against their risk associated with the loan to NewMarket, then genuine NewMarket shareholders would enjoy the benefit of the senior lender having to buy back stock to cover the short position once their debt was paid in cash.

Management has not at this time completed the retirement of the $4 million term note with the current lender and may not be able to successfully retire the note. Management has secured a lender willing to sponsor management in the proposed transaction and negotiations are underway.

Management has referred to this transaction as a 'buyback,' as management will be buying back a substantial equity position in NewMarket if they are successful. This is not a buyback of common stock from the open market, and we believe this buyback would be more beneficial to the Company's shareholders than a buyback on the open market. The transaction proposed by management would have a substantial operational benefit to the shareholders by eliminating a substantial debt. The transaction would also substantially reduce further common shareholder dilution that could be realized if the current debt with the existing lender were to be serviced in stock.

Subsequent to a transaction removing the current lender and reducing the Company's debt, NewMarket would then initiate steps to move toward an exchange listing. The details associated with the Company's strategy to achieve an exchange listing will vary depending on the final details associated with the potential retirement of the existing term note.

Management is working to align the Company's strong fundamental financial performance and its market valuation to deliver a return on investment to its long-term shareholders. The buyback strategy described herein, and the highlights of management's intention to subsequently move to another exchange are central to our plans to deliver that long-term return.

NewMarket Latin America, Inc. and China Crescent, Inc.

NewMarket Latin America, Inc. and China Crescent, Inc. represent the Company's most substantial emerging market operations and the first operations listed independently as part of the Company's plan to directly share the benefit of its emerging market growth with shareholders.

The consolidation of operations into the Latin American public subsidiary has been slower than anticipated, and the cleanup of past public filings associated with the operations that pre-dated the transaction with NewMarket has been problematic. As the largest shareholder, NewMarket has elected to voluntarily de-register NewMarket Latin America, with the intention of accelerating the cleanup and consolidation. The necessary filings to support a new registration are currently being reviewed. When the registration is complete, the Latin American operations will be consolidated. As the filings are reviewed and finalized for submission, the Company will release an anticipated time frame for the completion.

China Crescent has had a good year operationally, however the stock performance has been disappointing and difficult to understand. From the fundamental financial performance of China Crescent, we anticipated better stock performance to date. The Company's operational base is strong, and we are happy with the progress the company has made this year as it matures and grows independent of NewMarket. For instance, the Company has changed its name this year to better position itself in the Chinese market, its primary place of business, and has transitioned to new leadership, from its entrepreneurial leadership team. The Company has recently announced its plans to increase its footprint in China by increasing its ownership in one of its Chinese operating subsidiaries by 25%. China Crescent has focused on the growing need in China for computer hardware and software since its inception in 2005, and we look forward to the Company's continued growth in 2009. Both NewMarket and China Crescent management are aware of the frustrating stock performance and will continue to focus on improving it in 2009, while continuing to keep our focus on improving and growing the Company's established operational base. China Crescent is scheduled to provide more updates on its plans and activities to its shareholders starting in January. Please look for those updates from China Crescent.

I look forward to sharing more with all of our shareholders in the upcoming virtual Town Hall. I also look forward to kicking off 2009 and providing updates to you all throughout the first quarter. I am confident long-term shareholders will be rewarded for their ongoing commitment, and I am grateful for the support shareholders have shown the Company.

Best Regards during this Holiday Season,

(SSTP.pk) - Sustainable Power Corp Appeals to Obama's Administration

2008-12-23T06:35:00.000-08:00

BAYTOWN, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 23, 2008 -- Sustainable Power Corp. (Other OTC:SSTP.PK - News) advised that it has forwarded the following correspondence to President-elect Barack Obama:

President-elect Barack Obama,

We congratulate you on your historic election as our next President. Your hard fought, yet respectful, dignified, and even-mannered campaign highlighted the characteristics that will serve you well in the great challenge you have accepted. As innovators in the technology of biofuel production, we appreciate your strong interest in this field. We feel we can help you, our country, and our planet by providing innovations that will achieve the maximum benefits with no undesirable social, economic, or environmental side affects.

We must address some major challenges if the holistic effect of biofuels is to be positive.

-- The debates about food-based biofuel feedstocks and the effect on
hunger, food prices, agricultural lands, and rainforests is ongoing and
passionate.
-- Recent studies suggest it takes more energy to produce some biofuels
than they provide.
-- Some biofuels use considerably more potable water than the volume of
biofuel produced.
-- Biodiesel production uses fossil based methanol, thus linking costs
and availability to that of fossil fuels.
-- Certain biofuels gel or even solidify at typical winter temperatures.

We believe we have solved all the above problems by producing biofuels which:

1. Are produced from non-food feedstocks such as agricultural and municipal
solid waste.
2. Can power gasoline/diesel engines and heat buildings.
3. Have been refined in existing facilities to produce bioplastic
feedstocks, bioasphalts, biogasoline, biokerosene, biojetfuels, and
lighter biodistillates.
4. Remain viable liquids at temperatures suitable for use in high altitude
aircraft.
5. Contain high levels of energy in their gaseous state.
6. Can replace coal.
7. Provide high carbon biochars that can restore barren lands to
agricultural use, increase crop yields, improve crop nutrient density,
reduce global warming outgassing from the soils, and sequester CO2.
8. Are economically viable across a broad range of market conditions.

We hope you find the attached materials compelling enough to consider including the Rivera Process in the list of biofuel initiatives eligible for any government assistance that may become available. Best wishes for an historically significant and world changing Presidency.

Very sincerely,

/s/ M. Richard Cutler

M. Richard Cutler, President and Chief Executive Officer

These amounts represent the Company’s current backlog and management forecasts of Cavico’s future financial performance.

Cavico expects FY2008 revenue to increase by 58.5% to $60.0 million and revenue for FY2009 is expected to grow by 33.3% to $80.0 million. The Company estimates net income of $0.9 million in FY2008 and expects net income to reach $3.2 million, an increase of 255.6%, in FY2009. Cavico forecasts that the anticipated growth will be driven by existing and new operations managed by the Company, including its entry into the wind energy market.
