Advanced Cell Technology Provides Single Blastomere Technology To CHA Bio & Diostech Co., Ltd.
ACT to Receive Upfront Fee for the Right to Develop the Technology in Korea
WORCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (Advanced Cell, ACT) (OTC: ACTC - News) and a leading Korea-based stem cell company, CHA Bio & Diostech Co., Ltd. (CHA Bio), formerly known as CHA Biotech, Co., Ltd. and whose shares are publicly traded on KOSDAQ, announced today that the parties have entered into a licensing agreement under which Advanced Cell will license its proprietary “single blastomere technology,” which has the potential to generate stable cell lines, including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells for the treatment of diseases of the eye, to CHA Bio for development and commercialization exclusively in Korea. ACT received an undisclosed up-front license fee. The Company believes there are some 200 different retinal diseases that may be impacted by this stem cell derived therapy including macular degeneration, which represents a $28 billion dollar market. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects more than 30 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years of age in the United States.
“We are pleased to acquire the Korean rights to a promising technology platform which could provide a solution to diseases of the eye, which represent a large market opportunity in Korea,” said Moon, ByungWoo, the CEO for CHA Bio. “As a result of the acquisition of this license, we believe we have a way to produce cell lines that appear to be identical to hESC lines derived from later stage embryos using techniques that does not destroy the embryo’s developmental potential. If so, we believe it may represent a solution to the ethical and moral dilemma facing many regarding embryonic stem cell destruction.”
“We are pleased to further expand our relationship with CHA Bio and to grant a license to develop our blastomere technology for development exclusively in Korea only,” said William Caldwell, CEO of Advanced Cell. “We expect that our collaborative efforts will accelerate the technology of regenerative medicine therapies internationally. Granting CHA exclusive rights to develop the technology in Korea while ACT retains the right to develop it in the rest of the world, positions ACT to benefit from a relationship with a well-capitalized and successful stem cell company, which allows the Company to expand its knowledge base surrounding this promise technology platform.”
Looks Positive @ HEB!

Oil nears $60 on recovery hopes
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Oil prices rose Tuesday, coming within 32 cents of the $60-a-barrel level, as investors focused on signs of economic stabilization and a weaker dollar.
Oil last settled above $60 a barrel on Nov. 12, when it ended at $62.41.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery was up 70 cents at $59.20 a barrel in pre-market, electronic trading. Earlier, the contract rose to a high of $59.68.
Oil prices have trended higher in recent sessions, after averaging about $50 a barrel last month, as improved economic data raised bets that the economy is headed for a recovery sooner rather than later.
But prices are still sharply below last summer's all-time high of $147 a barrel as the weak global economy continues to undermine demand for crude.
As demand has withered, U.S. crude supplies have risen to their highest levels since 1990. And analysts surveyed by research firm Platts expect the government's weekly inventory report to show another 1.4 million barrel gain when it's released Wednesday.
"Oil prices have been very resilient in the last couple weeks despite little change in the underlying fundamentals," said Tom Pawlicki, energy analyst at MF Global, in a research report.
Advanced Cell Technology Files Form 10-Q for its 2008 Second and Third Quarters
Company Moves Towards Relisting on Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board
WORCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (Advanced Cell, ACT) (OTC: ACTC - News) announced today that it has filed its Form 10-Q for its 2008 second and third quarters for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008. The Company anticipates filing its Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2008 and Form10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 prior to the end of this quarter. Upon completing those filings, the Company intends to file for relisting on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board as its financial statements will be current.
“We recognize the importance of transparency and the need to become current in our financial reporting and are working diligently with our auditors to achieve this,” said William Caldwell, CEO of Advanced Cell. “Filing the 10-Q’s for two quarters last year is the first step in the process that will hopefully lead to a listing on the Bulletin Board. We believe such a listing should increase interest among the investment community in the significant progress we have made in developing our scientific platform, and our IND filing later this year when we will seek approval to commence human clinical trials for our retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) technology.”
Will have a positive impact when listed!!

Anticipated 10Q for Deep Down Inc!
Like so many on this board I too was anxious to see what the numbers might be given the economics of the oil service sector that is included in this recession.
No suprise that the numbers are not jumping off the pages however given the expansion plans for Flotation Technologies and all the camera action showing signs of robust activity in the metal shop it is good to see that they are busy filling orders.
Given that most companies are reporting huge losses DDI is in good company and perhaps in better shape to weather the storm to see much better days ahead.
I'll maintain the shares I have and wait out the storm for better days ahead!

Good morning! The following release went out this morning and discusses our results for 2008, which are included in our Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC yesterday. As you can see, it was a record year by many accounts. I’m most happy that our growth did not come at the sacrifice of margins or with added expense. We increased margins and cut SG&A costs, so every dollar of revenue actually contributed more to bottom line. By doing so, I think we’ve set a clearer path to positive cash flows and profitability. We did take an impairment charge, a non-cash charge, at year end as a result of lowering near term expectations of our set top box business. I think this will be a common theme at companies across the country this year due to the economy. As I have already mentioned, the economy has affected our business early in 2009, particularly on the set top box front as hotels have slowed spending. But I see positive signs, and I’m optimistic that growth is already starting to return. We have great products of to offer, and are introducing new products into our markets that are already creating excitement and getting the attention of new customers. You will see in the release that we have recently sold equipment ESPN – this was a great win for Nighthawk, as they chose our technology after studying the offerings of other companies. That is great exposure for us - Nighthawk technology is being used in the most state-of-the-art production facility in the U.S.!
Have a great day!

Impressive Results for Nighthawk Systems in 2008!
The gloom and doom of 2008 did not hurt Nighthawk Systems in 2008 as we added a much recognized name to our list of clients better known as ESPN!
------------------------------------------------------------
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK), a leading provider of wireless and IP-based control devices and solutions, reported record financial results for the year ended December 31, 2008 with the filing of its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday. The Company generated more revenue during 2008 than in any previous fiscal year in the Company’s history, nearly doubling revenues from 2007. Increased revenues, coupled with reduced manufacturing costs, led to record gross profits during 2008, more than doubling the total from 2007. Selling, general and administrative costs fell from 2007 to 2008, helping the Company improve its operating cash flow results by more than 50% between years.
Revenues generated during 2008 were $3.3 million as compared to $1.7 million for 2007. While sales of the Company’s high-definition set top boxes contributed significantly to the record results, sales of its legacy power control products also produced record results during the 2008 year.
As a result of improvements made in the manufacturing of its set top boxes during the last half of 2008, the Company’s gross margin increased from 23% to 27% from 2007 to 2008, and the Company produced more gross profit, $889,150, during 2008 than in any previous fiscal year in the Company’s history. The Company expects the improved margins on the set top boxes to continue going forward. The Company also expects to generate improvement in margins on the sale of power control products in the coming months as it nears completion of new circuit boards to be used in those products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 14% from $2.5 million in 2007 to $2.1 million in 2008. As a result, the Company’s cash loss from operations was reduced from $2.1 million in 2007 to $925,000 in 2008, an improvement of 60%. The Company’s EBITDA loss improved from $2.1 million in 2007 to $1.2 million in 2008, an improvement of 43% between years.
The Company’s recognized an impairment charge to the carrying value of its set top box operations at December 31, 2008 of approximately $1.6 million. The Company’s evaluation of the business at year end included a reduction in anticipated cash flows from the set top box operation during 2009 due to the negative impact the economy is having on technology purchases within the hospitality industry. While the Company anticipates that set top box purchases may accelerate during the latter half of 2009, actual sales have declined from 2008 levels during the first few months of 2009, and the Company recognized an impairment in the value of goodwill originally recorded when it purchased the set top box operation in 2007. Primarily as a result of this impairment charge, the Company’s net loss increased from $3.3 million in 2007 to $4.1 million in 2008. Excluding the impairment charge of $1.6 million from 2008 results, the net loss was reduced 24% from 2007 to 2008.
H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk’s CEO, commented, “We accomplished many great things at Nighthawk during 2008 as the results show, producing twice the revenue than in the previous year. Improved revenues had a positive impact on cash flows, as we also increased margins and cut overhead expenses at the same time. As I have stated previously, there is much cause for optimism at the Company in spite of the impact the economy has had on business early in 2009, and positive cash flows remain a realistic near term goal for the Company. Alongside our new relationship with Itron, we have started introducing new products to the utility industry in 2009 that firmly position the Company as a provider of Smart Grid solutions, further enhancing the Company’s standing with the electric utility industry. We began to build a significant backlog of business again during the first quarter of 2009, and I expect great results from the electric utility industry in 2009.”
Mr. Saathoff continued, “I also expect to see improvement during the year from the set top box operations as our customers adjust to the economic environment. During the latter stages of 2008, we began exposing our products to new potential customers in an effort to strengthen our customer base and lessen our dependency on the hospitality industry. I expect those efforts to pay off throughout 2009. A recent sale of our IP3000 set top boxes to ESPN validates these efforts, as well as our superior technology. ESPN chose Nighthawk’s set top box technology for use in displaying 1080p broadcasts within their new, state-of-the-art LA Live campus, which opened with a live broadcast of ESPN’s Sportscenter on April 9, 2009. ESPN’s Los Angeles studio is the first in the world capable of 1080p production, the best resolution for high definition broadcasting available. ESPN purchased Nighthawk boxes to enable the display of the 1080p broadcasts throughout the studio facilities, and I expect them to expand their use to other ESPN-owned facilities in the future.”
