GLEE, through its subsidiary, GL Tungsten, is currently working on developing an advanced tungsten project known as Pilot Mountain located in Mineral County, Nevada. TUNGSTEN is red-hot! Most readers , if they have even heard of TUNGSTEN, only associate it with the filaments in incandescent light bulbs. Read on, there's a lot more to TUNGSTEN. A next generation light bulb, computer chips, nose cones for rockets , and more and more. Below read about just one of the potential uses for TUNGSTEN that is cutting edge and which can have a HUGE INFLUENCE on the value of TUNGSTEN.

The US Army is going green. Please click on the links below to read the articles regarding the US Military switching from lead-based ammunition to tungsten-based ammunition to fully understand the HUGE upside potential of GLEE. The Lone Ranger may have used silver bullets, but the US Army plans to go green!!

As you will read in a reprint of an article below, it is estimated that "Next year, the Army will produce 5 million to 10 million green bullets (made of Tungsten) and after that up to 200 million each year", stated Wade Bunting, project manager for environmental armament technologies at the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.

Conclusion:

**GLEE recently announced results from samples taken at the Company's Desert Scheelite deposit of the Pilot Mountain site. GLEE announced that recent samplings returned results of the W03 component of Tungsten to be 1.29% in sample #1 and 1.44% in sample #2. Additionally, the Company's recent press release announced results of one sample containing over 500 g/mt (over 15.5 troy ounces per tonne) of Silver!!

**Compare GLEE's announced sample results with other operating mining companies such as North American Tungsten's (CDNX: NTC) MacTung Project. On NTC's website they report the MacTung Project is being worked at an average grade of 0.95% W03. (see: http://www.northamericantungsten.com )

**Additionally, compare the mining operation managed by Avocet Mining Company where the company reports working its Panasqueira tungsten mine in Portugal with a .28% W03 average content. (see: http://www.avocet.co.uk/tungsten.html )

The Company's current project, known as Pilot Mountain, is an advanced tungsten project located in Mineral County, (west-central) Nevada, USA. Elevated tungsten values occur throughout this area, and there are four known mineral resources within the claim area: Desert Scheelite, Gunmetal, Garnet, and Rose tungsten deposits. The property lies approximately 21 miles east of the town of Mina on an all-weather, county maintained gravel road. Mina is 168 miles southeast of Reno on U.S. Highway 95.

a couple of quick links to bring it back to reality, lol.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=glee.ob&d=c
The Company does not have any acquisition or merger plans at this time. The Company is planning on conducting preliminary research to determine mineralizations on its Pilot Mountain claims and is not yet developing any mineral resources. The Company has limited financial capacity and will need substantial funding to engage in mineral development activities, if the geological research indicates it is worth pursuing. Businesses engaged in mineral exploration are highly speculative investments, and investors typically do not achieve a return on their investment in these kinds of companies.

PERL (OTCBB) Perle Systems Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2003 Financial Results

FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 01, 2002 08:16 AM

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct 31, 2002 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- Company Organizes for Sales Growth

Perle Systems Limited (OTCBB: PERL; TSE: PL), a leading provider of networking products for Internet Protocol ("IP") and e-business access, today reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2003 ended August 31, 2002.

Financial Highlights

Based on US GAAP, the Company's revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled US$5.3 million, compared to revenue of US$7.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

This reduction in sales was due to poor economic conditions in our largest European markets, including the United Kingdom, France and Germany, combined with the traditional European summer slowdown. In North America, we reorganized our entire distribution channel to lay the groundwork for sales growth in the coming quarters. This reorganization had the result of inhibiting sales during the quarter. Sales in the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, were maintained. In addition to these factors, we experienced some production backlogs, which prevented meeting all of the demand during the quarter. We anticipate clearing this backlog during the second quarter.

Disciplined cost controls and stable gross margins offset the lower sales revenue to some extent and the cash loss or net operating loss for the quarter was approximately US$478,000 compared to a net cash loss or operating loss of approximately US$172,000 in the same period last year. Cash loss per share was US$0.05 for the quarter compared to a cash loss per share of US$0.02 in the same period last year.

Net cash loss or net operating loss and cash loss per share figures exclude acquisition-related amortization, depreciation of capital assets and intangibles and one time costs. There were no one-time costs in the first quarter of this year or last year.

Chief Executive Officer's comments:

"Our goal in fiscal 2003 is to continue to deliver operating profitability and sales growth."

"During the first quarter we continued with research and development programs to concentrate on our higher growth product lines with the intention of bringing leading technology at value prices to the market", stated Joe Perle, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our marketing campaigns have taken a more aggressive approach and we have restructured our distribution channel, in particular in North America, to better service our VAR's and in so doing, to help drive demand for our products. We are already seeing some of the benefits in the second quarter and I remain confident of the long term outlook for Perle."

Chief Financial Officer's comments:

"Having restored the Company to operating profitability in fiscal 2002, we are taking steps to further strengthen the Company in fiscal 2003. We continue to focus on the fundamentals of building sales, improving margins and operating efficiencies while containing costs," stated Derrick Barnett, Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. "We are particularly encouraged by the terms of the new credit agreement with our bankers, which we recently announced and believe that this will provide Perle with the working capital needed to continue on its path to attain full profitability and further growth."

LINK first profit in six quarters!

CAMARILLO, Calif., Oct 24, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interlink Electronics, Inc. (LINK, Trade), the world's leading developer of intuitive interface technologies and solutions for business and home applications, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2002. Revenues for the three months totaled $6.6 million -- up 10% as compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of this year. The Company generated its first operating profit in six quarters, yielding a $30,000 operating profit in the third quarter as compared to an operating loss of $283,000 in the second quarter of this year. The net results for the third quarter of 2002 showed net income of $40,000 or break-even on a per share basis as compared to a loss of $333,000 or $0.03 loss per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2002.

"We are very pleased with the Company's financial performance in the third quarter," said E. Michael Thoben, chairman, CEO and president. "We improved revenues by 10%, giving us two consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. This is particularly encouraging in light of the negative macro-economic factors influencing most technology companies. While it remains difficult to maintain much long term visibility under current market conditions, our shorter term expectations remain very positive and we expect to continue on a similar growth track.

"The Company's return to profitability is clearly a milestone. This accomplishment is attributed to not only the recent sales growth, but to the company's recently stream-lined structure and record operating efficiencies," continued Mr. Thoben. "Cash flow also remained strong as our positive operating cash flow of nearly $400,000 enabled us to complete the repayment of some of our Japanese loans without significant impact on our overall cash balance.

"Our business communications segment performed well again this quarter and accounted for 63% of our total worldwide revenues," added Mr. Thoben. "Our top OEMs in Asia and North America both continued to show progress over the last quarter, improving revenue by 8%. The Company's business communications branded business also continued to show steady progress at a modest 5%. We expect stronger fourth quarter growth in branded product sales as seasonality influences retail buying patterns.

"Our e-transactions business also continued to achieve record sales growth as well as solid market momentum during the third quarter," said Mr. Thoben. "This revenue growth was largely attributed to reorders from several of our existing key customers, such as Prudential, Walgreens, Charles Schwab and Ford Credit.

"We also continued building strategic relationships in vertical markets as part of our strategy to ensure ePad is the standard for electronic signatures. Specifically, we made significant progress in both drug testing and security/ID card vertical markets, announcing relationships with eScreen, Inc. and Viisage Technology, Inc. eScreen, who develops and markets rapid employment drug screening devices, currently processes millions of healthcare data transactions per year. As a first step, we have integrated ePad e-signature capability into their eScreen point-of-care drug screening products.

"Additionally, last week we announced that we had established a strategic partnership with Viisage Technology, Inc., who delivers more than 25 million digital-identification documents to federal, state and local government agencies issuing digital drivers' licenses, identity cards, social services cards and local law enforcement credentials. The first deployment of Interlink's ePad electronic signature solution with Viisage's image capture and facial recognition system is taking place at the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles."

From time to time the Company may issue forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: business conditions and growth in the electronics industry and general economies, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer orders; delays in receipt of orders or cancellation of orders; competitive factors, including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and price pressures; the availability of third party parts and supplies at reasonable prices; changes in product mix; significant quarterly performance fluctuations due to the receipt of a significant portion of customer orders and product shipments in the last month of each quarter; and product shipment interruptions due to manufacturing problems. The forward-looking statements contained in this document regarding industry and revenue trends, seasonality, sales channels, industry product acceptance and future business activities should be considered in light of these factors.

Park your Sub at the iHub - Bub; .....the experience might just "...float your boat..." !!!

[jmhollen]

Considering the recent run of CTKT, I would suggest taking a peek at BMKS which has been laying fallow for a considerable period of time.

At 0.005 it is definitely in 'collectible mode', the company is quietly humming right along not too far from Peachtree street, they have new gaming products and machines in the pipeline, and any positive News could light it's candle.

They owe some money on a .Com meltdown judgement to a creditor, but have negotiated a decent pay-out deal. As the business grows the creditor gets his bucks and goes away; so there is no reason for the recipient to act like a horses patoot.

DYODD, could be very profitable.

ECSN (OTCBB) Encision Reports Profit on Record Revenues; Q2 Revenue Up 43%

MONDAY , OCTOBER 21, 2002 09:01 AM

BOULDER, Colo., Oct 21, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Encision Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ECSN) today reported a net income and record revenues for its fiscal 2003 second quarter ended September 30, 2002.

The Company achieved revenues for its fiscal second quarter of $1,754,000, a 43 percent increase over revenues of $1,225,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The Company reported a net income of $95,000 or $0.02 per share, compared to a net income of $34,000 or $0.01 per share in the second quarter of last fiscal year.

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2002 of $3,096,000 represented a 38 percent increase over prior fiscal year's six months revenues of $2,251,000. Net income of $5,000 or $0.00 per share for the current fiscal year's six months compares to a net loss of $35,000 or $0.01 per share for the prior fiscal year's six months. Gross profit margin for the six months just ended was 61 percent compared to 57 percent in the prior year. The Company is cash flow positive year-to-date.

"New hospital conversions to our AEM(R) surgical instruments are providing market share gains and top line revenue growth," said James A. Bowman, President and CEO of Encision. "We converted 42 new hospitals to AEM instruments during Q2, a record number for any quarterly period in the history of the Company."

"The ongoing revenues from our installed base of customers remains solid due to strong customer retention," added Mr. Bowman. "Over 250 hospitals have now standardized on AEM instruments to advance patient safety and patient outcome in minimally-invasive surgery."

A recent issue of Healthcare Purchasing News magazine highlighted Encision's technology, stating that "...AEM technology greatly minimizes the potential for unintended tissue burns, decreases a hospital's liability, meets the new JCAHO hospital accreditation standards and optimizes outcomes."

Encision Inc. designs and manufactures innovative surgical devices that allow the surgeon to optimize technique and patient safety during a broad range of surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the Company pioneered the development of patented AEM(R) Laparoscopic Instruments to improve electrosurgery and reduce the chance for patient injury in minimally invasive surgery.

In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company notes that statements in this press release and elsewhere that look forward in time, which include everything other than historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially include, among others, its ability to increase revenues through the Company's distribution channels, insufficient quantity of new account conversions, insufficient cash to fund operations, scale up production to meet delivery obligations, delay in developing new products and receiving FDA approval for such new products and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ENVA (OTCBB) Enova and Hyundai Heavy Industries to Create Joint U.S. Research and Development Center

MONDAY , OCTOBER 21, 2002 06:01 AM

BUSAN, Korea & TORRANCE, Calif., Oct 21, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Enova Systems, Torrance, California (OTCBB: ENVA) announced today that it has agreed in principle with Hyundai Heavy Industries, Co, Ltd. (HHI) to establish a joint venture for an advanced technology center (ATC) for research and development to be domiciled at Enova's Torrance California headquarters.

The ATC's mission will be to advance current technologies and create new intellectual property and products which may then be manufactured by HHI for world markets in commercial, industrial and residential applications. It is anticipated that the ATC will be initially funded with US$6.0 million from HHI to pursue research and development projects in advanced power management and conversion programs for stationary power applications. Additional programs may also be funded by either partner or through third-party contracts. Enova and HHI desire to commence operations of the ATC in early 2003 assuming that the parties reach a final consensus on all terms and enter into a definitive agreement before year-end.

The ATC venture builds on more than six years of experience garnered by Enova Systems working in alliance with various Hyundai companies. Starting with Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) and Hyundai Electronics (now Hyundai Autonet), Enova entered into a technology transfer and equity purchase in 1996. Numerous programs, including hybrid-electric, fuel cell hybrid and parallel hybrid drive systems, have been developed through the HMC-Enova alliance. As Enova moved into production systems, it utilized the alliances with HHI and Autonet to manufacture its products for such customers as Ford, Ballard and AVS. Currently, components of the Panther 90, 120 and 240kW drive systems are manufactured by HHI.

Key-Sik Min, President & CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries said, "We believe this joint research and development project with Enova Systems will allow our companies to enter into new high technology business areas. We believe this will transform our presence in these markets, which has thus far been relatively small, to that of a global leader in the 21st century." President Min also added that "We believe the partnership between Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. and Enova Systems Inc. will create opportunities for us to develop new technologies and products efficiently in the areas of power conversion for mobile and stationery energy systems. The Advanced Technology Center established on the basis of both parties' technologies and mutual faith will be key to opening the door to the future for both our customers and ourselves."

Carl Dean Perry, president and CEO, stated, "Our strong alliance with the Hyundai companies continues to bear fruit. We believe this new partnering with Hyundai Heavy Industries will further establish Enova as a global player in digital power management. The combined strengths of our two companies should enable us to enhance our ability to bring new leading edge technologies to market faster and more economically than we could individually. Hyundai Heavy Industries recognizes Enova's ability to provide leading edge technologies and products in the areas of power and process control and management in mobile and stationary energy systems. This teaming further underscores both these abilities and the commitment between Enova and Hyundai Heavy Industries for the future."

Hyundai Heavy Industries, headquartered in Ulsan Korea, is an international integrated heavy industries company operating various businesses including the world's largest Shipbuilding Business; the Engine & Machinery Business (manufactures engines for ships and industrial power generation, machine tools, industrial machinery, robots, and factory automation facilities); the Industrial Plant Business (atomic power facilities, power generation facilities, chemical facilities, etc); the Offshore & Engineering Business (manufactures and installs industrial steel structures, natural gas production facilities, etc); Electro Electric Systems Business (transformers, switchgears, generators and motors, SF6 gas insulated switchgears, circuit breakers, power electronics); Construction Equipment Business; and other business such as steel tower production.

Enova Systems, with headquarters in Torrance California, and offices in Hawaii and South Korea, is a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of power management and conversion systems for the global mobile and stationary alternative energy market. The Company's technology and products in power conversion, energy management, and system integration enable Enova Systems to integrate a wide range of power sources, including advanced batteries, fuel cells, and turbine generators, in these power applications. The Company's product lines include the Panther(TM) propulsion systems ranging from 30kW to 240kW, DC-DC supplies for low voltage accessories, and power management systems for batteries, fuel cells, turbines and other components. Enova's propulsion systems and components are used in OEM vehicles from Hyundai Motor Company and Ford. Enova also develops and manufactures propulsion systems for transit buses and airport trams.

Howdy folks. Emerging turnaround in this stock. Having cleared up quite a bit of its checkered past ..... new mgmt purchased a small ACH business called United Capturdyne 1 year ago. Capturdyne's business is clearing high risk ACH transactions upon which they generate 90% gross margins.

Basically this stock trades at .27x.33 today. Should report first profitable FY ended July 31, 2002 sometime this week. I expect the company to have earned .03/sh for FY02, its first profitable year ever ! In addition, the 1st qtr 2003 ends 10/31 (10 days away) and will have a favorable comparison YOY against the 1st qtr FY02 (aug-Oct 2001) which was the last loss reported by the company. I'd expect trailing 12 month earnings between .07 and .09/share for the 12 months ending 10/31/02 . Those numbers are not likely to be released until early December, however, if they only post flatline growth, that's what they would amount to. A modest PE of 10-12 should equate to nearly a triple by Christmas.

No Debt. ! Line of Credit for $300K. 18.9 million shares outstanding, 12 million share float .... although tightly held.

There are significant new client additions pending including Crosscheck, the 3rd largest check guarantee company in the US, and a new stored value card program about to rollout out which should further add to revenues and earnings for next year. Quickly becoming a cash cow ! I look for somewhere near $1 by Christmas.

Tengtu Reports Year-End Profit and Revenue Growth; Company Announces Increase in Sales of Over 150% From Last Year; Company Restates 2001 Annual & 2002 Quarterly Reports

TORONTO & BEIJING, Oct 16, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tengtu International Corp. (TNTU), a developer, marketer, distributor and integrator of distance learning solutions and e-education software, announced today year-end profit and revenue growth for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. (All fiscal 2001 numbers are restated figures for comparisons. See the section for 2001 restatement below.)

Fiscal 2002 Performance


Sales for the fiscal year 2002 rose to $14,255,417 compared with $5,566,039 for fiscal 2001, a 150% increase from last year's level. Tengtu reported a full year net profit of $1,578,108 compared with a net loss of $ (293,169) a year ago. This net income represents $0.03 per share based on 49,880,494 basic shares outstanding in fiscal 2002 and compared with a net loss of $ (0.01) per share on 24,977,353 basic shares outstanding in fiscal 2001.

The Company experienced strong sales growth in 2002 with the continued success of the Operation Morning Sun project in China. In fiscal 2002, Tengtu China installed 7,292 Total Solution platforms for a total revenue of $11,293,251 or 79% of sales. Tengtu China also installed 3,245 sets of satellite equipment for $1,675,197 and sold 1,748 resource CDs for $109,892. Sales of other e-education products and services, such as system integration projects, through Tengtu China, were $1,067,753.

"Fiscal year 2002 results represent a substantial increase in revenues over 2001 and indicate a healthy and growing company well positioned to meet the opportunities in the year ahead," stated John D. Watt, Tengtu International Corp's President. "At the same time as the Company was executing record sales, it was managing its consolidation of the opportunities to operate China's national e-education portal and several provincial portals. This will add new revenue streams to the Company's future performance and growth."

"The restated annual statement for 2001 and the first three quarters of 2002 were related to an inclusion of a VAT tax in sales. These adjustments have no material effect on the ability of the Company going forward," concluded Mr. Watt.

"We are managing tremendous growth and increased demand for Tengtu products and services across China's education market," stated Chairman and CEO of Tengtu China, Fan Qi Zhang.

"The Company has reorganized its operations in China in fiscal 2002 to better address the expanding market opportunities. We will strive to attain and maintain a dominant market position with our products, services, innovations, and strategic alliances. Tengtu's alliance with the National Center for Audio Visual Education (NCAVE) and key provincial centers will allow the Company to expand its distribution of products and services while addressing the market needs for K-12 e-education throughout China," Mr. Zhang concluded.

Restatements of 2001 Annual and 2002 Quarterly Results

SRYP (OTCBB) SEC ACTION: SRYP Former Pres. Charged in Fraud Scheme

THURSDAY , OCTOBER 17, 2002 08:17 AM

Surety Capital Corporation (OTCBB: SRYP)

The SEC issued a Regulatory Action yesterday. On 10/3/02, Judge Jerry Buchmeyer, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Texas, sentenced G. Matthias Heinzelmann, III, the former Executive Vice President of Surety Bank of Fort Worth, TX, to a term of 36 months probation with six months of home confinement, in connection with an elaborate scheme through which he used bank customers' money to conceal bad loans and inflate bank revenues. In addition, the Court ordered Heinzelmann to pay a $10,000 fine.

Previously, Heinzelmann entered into a plea agreement with the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, pursuant to which he pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to make false entries in the books and records of a bank. By conducting the scheme, Heinzelmann also violated the federal securities laws. These violations are the subject of the SEC's pending civil action against Heinzelmann, filed in the Northern District of Texas, Ft. Worth Division, on 4/25/02. In its action, the SEC is seeking a permanent injunction, an officer and director bar, and a civil money penalty.

According to the complaint, from 1996 through September 1999, Heinzelmann, while President and Director of Surety Capital Corporation (OTCBB: SRYP), engaged in an elaborate scheme to conceal loan losses incurred by Surety Bank. The scheme had a material impact on financial statements included in Surety Capital's Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Specifically, Surety Capital overstated its pre-tax income by 7% in 1996, and understated its pre-tax losses by 16% in 1997 and 97% in 1998. Further, Surety Capital failed to file its Form 10-Q for the period ending 9/30/99. Because of the scheme, Surety Capital failed to make and keep books, records and accounts that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflected its transactions and dispositions of assets. Surety Capital also failed to maintain an adequate system of internal financial controls.

At the time the Commission filed its complaint against Heinzelmann, it simultaneously instituted settled administrative cease-and-desist proceedings against Surety Capital for violations of the reporting, internal controls, and books and records provisions of the Exchange Act.

NEXL (OTCBB) Nexell Therapeutics Announces Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution

THURSDAY , OCTOBER 17, 2002 07:30 AM

IRVINE, Calif., Oct 17, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nexell Therapeutics Inc. (OTCBB:NEXL) announced today that its board of directors adopted a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Company. Based upon current information, the Company anticipates that a cash distribution to common stockholders, which will exclude Baxter Healthcare Corporation ("Baxter") and its affiliates, will be $0.05 per share. Although the Company is unable to predict the precise timing of such distribution it hopes to make the distribution prior to year end. In order to be eligible to receive the distribution, a stockholder must be a holder of record of common stock on the record date set by the Board of Directors for such distribution, which is expected to be the date the Company files its certificate of dissolution with the State of Delaware.

In reaching its determination that the plan of liquidation and dissolution is in the best interests of the Company, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors. As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2002, the Board had authorized management to immediately begin an orderly wind up of operations. Since then the Company considered alternatives available to it in effecting the wind up, including dissolution under Delaware law or liquidation or reorganization under the Federal bankruptcy code. In any such procedure, in light of the liquidation preference of the Company's outstanding Series A and Series B Preferred Stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $151 million, there would be no remaining value available for distribution to the holders of common stock. After discussions with Baxter and its affiliates, which will hold all of the preferred stock, such holders have agreed to consent to a cash distribution to the holders of common stock in connection with the liquidation and dissolution of the Company under Delaware law.

As a Delaware corporation, the Company must obtain stockholder approval for the plan of liquidation and dissolution. The Company and Baxter have entered into an agreement pursuant to which: (i) Baxter and certain of its affiliates have agreed to acquire from the Company's holders of Series B Preferred Stock such preferred stock, (ii) Baxter and its affiliates will accelerate the pre-existing put of their stock to Baxter International Inc., (iii) Baxter and its affiliates will convert a portion of such stock sufficient to give them ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, and (iv) Baxter and its affiliates will then, as majority holders of common stock, approve the plan of liquidation and dissolution by written consent. The put was granted by Baxter International Inc. in November 1999 in connection with the Company's issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. Baxter currently owns approximately 17% of the Company's common stock.

As a common stockholder Baxter will waive its right to the $0.05 per share distribution. As the then sole preferred stockholders Baxter and its affiliates will receive substantially all of the remaining assets of the Company, other than a contingency reserve to satisfy current and anticipated liabilities, in partial satisfaction of their liquidation preference. Pursuant to the plan of liquidation and dissolution, the Company will establish a liquidating trust by year end to which will be contributed any assets not distributed to the stockholders. In connection with the plan of liquidation and dissolution, the Company will file with the SEC an information statement, which will be mailed to stockholders following its filing with the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read this document as it contains important information about the plan of liquidation and dissolution and related matters. After it is filed, investors and security holders may obtain copies of the document free of charge from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. No proxies will be solicited from Company stockholders with respect to the plan of liquidation and dissolution.

Effective October 17, 2002, and after the adoption by the Board of Directors of the plan of liquidation and dissolution, Victor W. Schmitt was appointed by the Board of Directors to be a director of the Company. Mr. Schmitt, who formerly was a director from December 1997 until May 10, 2002, is an employee of Baxter. It is anticipated that Innovir Laboratories, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, will be liquidated in the near future. As a result of the liquidation preference held by the Company as the sole holder of preferred stock of Innovir, it is not expected that there will be any assets available to distribute to the holders of common stock of Innovir.



Nexell Therapeutics Inc.


Located in Irvine, California, Nexell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company that was focused on the modification or enhancement of human immune function and blood cell formation utilizing adult hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells and other specially prepared cell populations. Nexell was developing proprietary cell-based therapies that address major unmet medical needs, including treatments for genetic blood disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The Company is currently in the process of winding down operations.

This release contains forward-looking statements which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such risks and uncertainties include: the Company's ability to effect an orderly wind down of its operations and to implement the plan of liquidation and dissolution in a timely manner; the Company's ability to resolve any claims against it; the Company's ability to sell certain of its remaining assets to generate cash to satisfy its obligations; the Company's ability to maintain sufficient cash which could be distributed to its stockholders; the Company's ability to retain the services of key employees or consultants to complete the wind-down; the Company's obligation to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements; the substantial dilution to common stockholders in the event that all or a portion of the Company's two series of Preferred Stock are converted to Common Stock; and any additional factors described from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the date of this release. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

You are welcome Tim. I am not sure how long Gold can hold up. It has had one hell of a run, not that I am a commodities expert or anything. I think it is getting close to a equities market reversal. The shorts are definitely getting nervous as the most recent rally indicated. Earnings on some fronts seem to be improving. It might be time to start looking for some technology opportunities. I think that when people start going back into equities, it will have a negative effect on Gold so maybe a negative effect on precious metals stocks? I am not sure though. I know that there is a lot of money in Bonds that will most likely be fleeing to stocks soon. The Bond market has had a nice little bubble of it's own which is about ready to pop.

PROCEEDINGS, MAKING FINDINGS AND
IMPOSING CEASE-AND-DESIST ORDER


I.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate that public cease-and-desist proceedings be instituted pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against Disease Sciences, Inc. ("Disease Sciences" or "Respondent").

II.

In anticipation of these administrative proceedings, Disease Sciences has submitted an Offer of Settlement, which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the facts, findings or conclusions herein, except as to jurisdiction of the Commission over Disease Sciences and over the subject matter of this proceeding, which Disease Sciences admits, Disease Sciences consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Making Findings and Imposing Cease-and-Desist Order ("Order"). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that proceedings, pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act, against Disease Sciences be, and hereby are, instituted.

III.

On the basis of this Order and the Offer submitted by Disease Sciences, the Commission makes the following findings:

A. Respondent:

Respondent Disease Sciences is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The common stock of Disease Sciences is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and has been registered since at least May 9, 2000. Shares of Disease Sciences' common stock are traded in the over-the-counter market, and quoted on the NASDAQ OTC bulletin board.

B. Disease Sciences' Public Statements:

1. On October 16, 2001, Disease Sciences issued a press release headlined "Disease Sciences, Inc. Ultra-High Pressure Pulse Technology Kills Conventional Pathogens Including Anthrax." Among other things, the press release stated that using High Pressure Pulse ("HPP") technology Disease Sciences "may be able to develop a simple, inexpensive method for cleaning our food and water supplies should they come under attack from bio-terrorism, as well as sterilize other items, such as mail and packages that could be accommodated in the pressure apparatus."

2. On October 17, 2001, Disease Sciences issued a press release stating that "[Disease Sciences] is presently investigating commercially viable projects" using HPP technology.

C. Material Information Omitted From Disease Sciences' Public Statements:

The Disease Sciences press releases omitted to state that at the time of the press releases, HPP had not been tested for or shown to be practical or economical for the uses suggested in the Disease Sciences October 16 press release; and Disease Sciences did not yet have a license to use HPP for any of the uses suggested in the October 16 press release.

D. Disease Sciences Violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act

Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder prohibit, in connection with the purchase or sale of any security, making any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Disease Sciences issued publicly the statements set forth above. Disease Sciences knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that these statements were false and misleading at the time they were made.

Accordingly, the Commission finds that Disease Sciences violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

IV.

In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate to impose the sanctions specified in the Offer submitted by Disease Sciences. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Disease Sciences be and hereby is ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation and any future violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

By the Commission.
