It is. Finally! Of course this dilutes the stock, etc., etc. This was the only way for the Company to survive. I am happy with this release. Look forward to hearing some updates April 5th.
This is just a low volume volatile stock that has been fluctuating between .05 and .07. Definately not a pump and dump, even though I probably wouldn't mind one. I spoke with someone at the company yesterday and they assured me that they are wrapping up the 10K and it will surely be released by the 30th. At least we know it won't be late or delayed.
Not Calypte's PPS.
Nothing is going on. I think that's the problem. We should here something by the end of next week. According to Tim C. Calypte will release 2006 year end results and announce a Conference Call at that time.
As someone posted on the yahoo board - up on $10,000 of trading. I think it means someone was willing to buy a small amount at the ask instead of waiting for his bid. That's about it at this point. Where is the update on China, India, SA, Russia, financing etc? I'm just hoping they will indeed have a CC at the end of the month. Thoughts on first qtr revenue? I'll say $150,000.
Well in case you're worried...they all came back negative. Tyra seemed to love the test and says "I didn't realize such a test exisited".
Tyra Banks uses Calypte test during her show.
Just kidding, if you look closely its an OraSure test. It does provide some advertising for an Oral test though.
You hear anything back from Tim yet? Or was it that bad that you just sold out and left.
I know, I could not confirm that was the case. Dr. Mink told me he could not comment on the issue. I was suprised to hear that from whoever posted it since it was the SFDA who in the first place handled the trial. Why wouldn't they have mixed in random samples at that time if they knew they were going to request them at a latter date? Don't you think they should also let us know? A simple update to shareholders would take 20 minutes to write out. Wonder if that IRISH guy got a call back from Tim. Irish?
okay? so........
Was there something specific you wanted to point out?
"After the Expert review, the CDE will determine to accept or reject the application, to request additional info, or to reschedule us for later review because they feel it is not appropriate at this time. They have up to 30 working days (about 6 weeks) to review their findings and make a decision. Depending on that decision, they have up to an additional 30 working days to notify us of their decision."
Today is the 60th day after the Expert review.
I have contacted Mineseeker/Sole of Africa a few times regarding the status of this initiative. I never heard back from them. I hope they still plan on pursueing their plan.

You really have to wonder what happens on a daily basis at this company. Monday is the 60th day after the SFDA expert panel review (not including holiday time which is unknown). Could this be the week we at least get an update? I'm not expecting approval until 2nd qtr, but who know's what will happen in April.
Please articulate your arguments. That made no sense.
I disagree. I know it happens, but I think it is more likely that they have not held any short position. Previously you lumped Marr in with SF Capital. Why would Marr be trying to help Calypte if they were short?
I assume it was a legit PIPE deal, unless you can prove that they sold their shares short. Maybe I'm being ignorant. Obviously they have convertible warrants that limit their downside.
What!? How would Stark, the asset money managers of SF Capital, be making any profit at .04? Please don't tell me you are talking about par value (.03). If they sold now, they would be taking a serious hit. I believe they bought in at the .30 or .40 range.
Where is current cash being used for operations coming from?
When do they expect to announce 4Q and 2006 year end results?
When is the expected date to hear back from SFDA?
Any plans in Thailand (due to the recent announcement in regards to oral tests)?
Mineseeker update - how many tests have actually been delivered?
Does the UAE test require a prescription?
What options does Marr have come April, when the notes are due?
Thats all I can think of at the moment.
Best of luck, please let us know what Tim says. We appreciate your time.
Can you please elaborate on Tim's comments? Random sampling? Why wouldn't this be addressed by the CDC during the trials that they themsevles carry out? If they new the expert panel would request this, why wouldn't they test random samples? China definately seems to do some things ass backwards. I spoke with DR. Mink a few weeks ago and he did NOT mention this...only that he and Calypte are still very bullish on the product and that the time line is 60 business days from December 5th.
So when asked about current financing, what did Tim say? Only that he cannot comment? Any undertones of positivity or negativity? Thanks.
The blanket wouldn't do too much good here; It was -35 WC this morning on my way to work. The beer might keep you a little warm though.
No, I would not expect one until the end of March. Year end filings, for a company of this size, do not need to be filed until 90 days after the year end date. They have waited till the end of March in previous years.
I must have, my apologies.
New Years Eve and the first three days of the new year are officially observed as a holiday. During this time the majority of businesses shut down for the celebrating. Meaning they probably have off the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th. Not too bad. This would move the date back to about March 1st or 2nd.
Maybe they'll try to get it in by the New year (before Feb. 18th).
Well we should be able to narrow it down to almost a specific day, not taking into consideration holidays.
December 4th (Expert Review Occurred) - They have 30 working days after this day to review their findings and at that time, they are required by regulation to come to a decision regarding the application. Of course, at that point they have decided on their action, but have not informed the applicant(Calypte), which is what the additional time period is for. During this additional time period(another30 days), the formal decision document and/or response is to be prepared by the SFDA and forwarded to the applicant before the second statutory time limit expires.
60 days: About February 23rd.
Here's the kicker:
Chinese New Year falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice (all months begin with a new moon). In 2007 Chinese New Years falls on February 18th.
Chinese New Year runs from the middle of the last month of the previous year (based on the Chinese calendar) to the middle of the first month of the new year.
--->If I understand this correctly. The holiday will last from about today (early Feb) to the beginning of March. Anyone aware of China during this period? Do people get off the enitre holdiay? Only Certain days (Feb 18th?) So I would say at the absolute latest we would receive something by the end of the first week in March. Hopefully sooner.
Pathetic. Noticed you never responded to my previous post about your sick addiction.
The test is entirely designed for home use. Period! Given by doctors, hospitals, clinics, etc. Always trying to twist things in a negative light. Never thought I'd have to say this to a 60 year old, but "Grow Up".
Is this selling as a true OTC product? No. We realized that weeks ago. Its done, why bring it up again?
Last time I will respond to you and will read your posts. Ignored.

Just noticed they have a questionaire for the specific product.
I was watching this A&E show called 'Intervention' and someone was on there for being addicted to "gaming" (playing video games). The show made me think of you. Maybe we should all hold an Intervention for you in regards to your unhealthy addiction to posting on this board. Do you admit you have a problem? First you need to overcome your denial.
Great link regarding the Bin Salem group and the Calypte Aware colloboration. Anyone know if insurance in the UAE will pay for this test?
I don't think they are stating that their test is less expensive (its not), but it is MORE cost-effective...meaning that the benefits of the test outway the price. They are simply stating that the rewards/benefits of this test compared to the cost outweight the same ratio in Blood Tests.
Great idea, but I think its best if Calypte only hires "sane" individuals. Clearly Blood is not.
Good support today, no one willing to sell (no one willing to buy either)...but I'm happy there wasn't a big sell off. Everyone's still waiting. More patience required.
I agree, while it doesn't "appear" good...we really don't have any idea as to why T. Gwin is leaving. It could be simply that he got offered more money somewhere else. It could be many things. I wouldn't panic at all and get rid off all your shares and then boom China hits and financing is announced.
so sad, isn't it? I feel bad for him.
Many times when a company releases "percieved" bad news after the close on Friday, they try to negat it with a positive pr early Monday. Wonder if we'll see anything.
I don't thing this will have a significant impact one way or the other on the PPS. Holders at this point are simply waiting for word from China. If China arrives, financing won't be an issue.
Blood: Easy question and I'm not infering anything, how old are you?
Be honest, that's what your known for.
Cost Effective: cost is lower than its benefit.
I think I was taught that in 6th grade economics. You must have missed that course. You continue to amaze me, do something with your life.

No Reads, I was being serious. While it may not be mentioning Calyptes name directly, it is marketing and advertising their test. The above article proves this the best.
Key Descriptions:
COST-EFFECTIVE
BLOODLESS
REVOLUTIONARY
LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A REGULAR HIV TEST
This is an OTC test version, it can be brought home to use. It is not be sold on the counter though.
http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2007/January/theuae_January222.xml&...
Will be demonstrating the test at the capital. One thing is for sure, the distributor in the Middle East is doing a good job of getting Calypte's name out there.
From old PR:
Calypte Biomedical Corporation announced today that it has received an order for 100,000 of its over-the-counter (OTC) version of the Aware(TM) Oral Fluid HIV-1/2 Rapid Diagnostic Test.
Point: It only says OTC "version", it didn't say it would be used directly as OTC. I was under the same impression as you though, that would be be strickly used as OTC. Maybe down the road.
http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?Type=SALE%2CAGENT%2CMISC&SearchText=hiv+test&IndexArea=o...
I can see why they have ignored the process of manufacturing a rapid blood test(over saturated market). Would be nice to see Calypte's Oral test on this site in the near future.
Agreed, Calypte's Oral Aware test is about as cheap as you're going to get for an oral test. Anyone an active member of the website this was located? I think you need to be a member to contact them. If so please contact them and give them Calypte's info. Its seems pretty suspicious to me. If you are looking for tests of that proportion, wouldn't you do some research and find out what companies can offer that?
Someone please send this link out to the company:
rgale@calypte.com
tgwin@calypte.com
Thanks guys, hope the posting is legit.
Under $5,000 traded today. Stock is definately in a sit and wait mode. Those who are now invested seem to be fully willing to take the all or nothing risk, no point in us selling now.
Well what we do know:
The company is still fully operating.
There has been no material financing deal.
These two things seem to somehow contradict eachother. The $ is coming from somewhere.
Do you have a link to that message board? I didn't realize it was still functioning.
