Shuster...comments/statements on VODG's media.....
Neuromics CEO Pete Shuster has made a couple of interesting comments/statements about VODG's media (MSC-Gro) in some of his posts on LinkedIn forums during the last couple of weeks or so. It sounds like Neuromics/VODG are now actively involved with some foreign entities in the area of hMSC expansion.
He provides links to that 4/30/2013 slideshare presentation on Biopharma musculoskeletal disorders in each of the posts, so there is no mistaking that he is directly referring to Vitro Biopharma's media product. I have placed in bold a couple of things that caught my attention......
1) Optimizing Expansion of Autologously Derived hMSCs
We are working with several non US orgs that are expanding fat derived Stem Cells for treatment of Musculoskeletal Disorders. The theory is better media=more hMSCs; more MSCs=better therapeutic outcomes. Do you agree? Is anyone out there expanding hMSCs prior to treatment? How many cells do you think are optimal? Do you think the regs are too restrictive in the US re expansion of autologously derived stem cells?

2) Great David. Clinics in countries (like Australia) that have a regulatory climate that allow expansion of autologous or allogeneic MSCs for therapies have found our media to lower costs=more cells in less time: www.slideshare.net/pshuster1/biopharma-musculoskeletal-disorders4302013-20475556 . If you have interest, let me know.

WFAM...Gepco Mining Ltd......
Still holding my position in WFAM. I have my fingers crossed that the likely new reverse merger with Gepco Mining Ltd will result in some decent additional upside, but obviously still quite a bit of risk involved.
What made the structure of the Clairnet reverse merger interesting to me (and one of the reasons I established a position in the stock) is the fact that it appeared that the main parties involved seemed willing/interested in starting from a low-price level and make an attempt to push the stock upward. Which, to a certain extent, is somewhat different from how they have traditionally set up their RMs.

About 3-4 weeks ago HemoGenix placed an investors section/page on its website. This is the first time that I have seen HemoGenix openly invite outside investment in the company......
db7...TGFN, Redify Group.....
I'm still holding my position in TGFN, as I am anticipating that we will see better/higher prices in calendar 2013 (either in the form of a somewhat sustained move upward, or some sort of large pop/surge/spike).
Looks like the new website(s)for the company was registered by Kevin Ghim (co-founder of Ice Lounge Media) in early March. The sites haven't been online yet......
http://www.redifygroup.com/

I would assume that following the reverse split there will probably be some increased PR/IR type of activity. If they are planning on bringing in some outside investors in the second round of financing (or even if it is just some more insider buying), things could get a bit interesting if some of my rough financing calculations are somewhat close. The tradeable float on a fully-diluted basis is probably going to somewhere in the 1-1.5M share neighborhood after the split, so there could be some interesting volatility.
Whoever put together the 10-K filing for TGFN really made a bit of mess by forgetting that the 1:10 reverse split hasn't occurred yet, so the numbers/info in the filing are pretty confusing.
One interesting thing I noticed in the 10-K is that the company sold 1.7M shares at .02 during the second half of March. If the dates and share ownership numbers are accurate, it appears that Marni Gaer is not the person who participated in that placement. So, this is the first time that the company has done a placement/financing to someone other than Sam/Marni Gaer in a very long time.......
VK_IN...large increase in job postings.....
There has been an extremely large increase in VK_IN job postings during the month of March. I have seen at least 14-15 different positions posted within the last 30 days (and some of the jobs require multiple people). According to the last available data, 92 people have made applications for these positions.
Most of the openings appear to be related to internet technology and the online gaming business mentioned last year. The company is seeking people in the areas of web development/design, graphics, software engineering, marketing, search engine optimization, administration, etc.
I'm also pretty sure that VK_IN placed an ad in March for a job opening related to one of the clothing companies that it has in its reverse merger pipeline.

Endothelial cell launch...2013 Q2.....

Additional 2008 connection between Sun/Xuding......
For those unfamiliar with Jiao Xuding and his past connection to SUIP, the post below can provide you some insight.....

Copower Enterprise has a new website available now......
http://www.copowergroup.com/
A pretty interesting thing started showing up while I was doing some scans/searches recently. A 2008 powerpoint presentation from Vinco Financial Group shows that the business/financial relationship between SUIP CEO Xuguang Sun and Copower Enterprise CEO Jiao Xuding extended beyond just Xuding's investment in SUIP during 2008.
Apparently Sun and Xuding were part of the management/director team that was forming a new investment fund company (China Energy Fund Company Limited) to be listed on the Hong Kong exchange. Two large financial institutions were assisting the company with a $30-40M financial raise and the listing application/process. The focus of the company was investments in energy-related companies/projects. Non-executive directors included financing-related people, and consultants to the company had business/investment/political connections to the Middle East.
Below is the snippet of text that shows the Sun/Xuding involvement here, and below that is the full, unedited text.....
Expecting to see an endothelial cell announcement.....
I am semi-expecting to see a press release regarding VODG adding endothelial cells to its product lineup sometime in the near future. Neither VODG or its distributor (Neuromics) currently shows that particular product in their respective catalogs, but Neuromics CEO Pete Shuster made the following statement in his blog last week (1/24/2013).....
VODG is developing a wound healing product.....
According to Tuesday's (1/29/2013) blog post on the Vitro Biopharma website, the company is developing a wound healing product using mesenchymal stem cells.....
WFAM...name/ticker change...PDF file.....
Picked up a position in WFAM last month (see post below). I am semi-expecting to see the reverse merger between WFAM and ClairNET completed fairly soon.
Name change to ClairNET occurred in early December. According to the news item on the Wikifamilies website a new ticker is being sought. Also, a link to an October 16, 2012 PDF file started appearing on some of the ClairNET-related websites sometime during December.

Unusual name reservation activity in December.....
There has been some activity on the name reservation front that has caused my eyebrow to raise a little. It may or may not have a direct connection to SUIP or be a harbinger of something happening, but it definitely has my attention given there has been some "unusual" volume activity just recently and more than 3.5% of the company traded hands in a single block back in May 2012.
Over the last 3 years or so Shaojun Sun (SUIP's Vice President and CFO) has been filing name reservations in Nevada for either "Sunrise Mining Corporation" or "Sunrise Mining". Another reservation for "Sunrise Mining Corporation" was filed on December 1, 2012. What makes this particular filing interesting is the fact that the reservation holder for this filing was not Shaojun Sun, but an individual named "Murphy Liu".
After doing some Google searches for that name in the US and China, the one hit that seems to make some reasonable/logical sense to me is a person living in California. His LinkedIn page describes him as a "mining industry investor" who is currently employed as a personal banker/loan officer with Bank of America.......

BeradG07...Asher, floorless convertibles.....
rickybull...share structure, final debt elimination.....
TGFN share structure...3 financing rounds.....
I did some very rough/general math regarding the share structure following the IceLounge Media assets purchase. The purchase agreement also provides some information on the three planned financing rounds. Combining the share structure info along with the financing info can give you a very general idea of what price(s) the financings will done at.
Assuming that TGFN doesn't make any share issuances other than those connected to debt conversions, the planned financings, etc then it looks like at least two of the financings would probably be at premiums to the current price.
On a fully-diluted basis (debt conversions, warrants, bonus payments, etc) I figure there were around 32M shares outstanding. There will probably be around 6.3M following the split and assets purchase.....
32M/10 = 3.2M
3.2/.51 = 6.3M
The language in the initial round doesn't make it entirely clear, but for conservative purposes I will assume that the .03 price is post-split, and I will also use the max dollar amounts in all three of the financings......
SUIP(.0082)...name reservation activity.....
Shell company
6.9M shares outstanding
5.5M shares float
$57K market cap
There has been some activity on the name reservation front that has caused my eyebrow to raise a little. It may or may not have a direct connection to SUIP or be a harbinger of something happening, but it definitely has my attention given there has been some "unusual" volume activity earlier this year and just recently.
Over the last 3 years or so Shaojun Sun (SUIP's Vice President and CFO) has been filing name reservations in Nevada for either "Sunrise Mining Corporation" or "Sunrise Mining". Another reservation for "Sunrise Mining Corporation" was filed on December 1, 2012.

Lane Gilchrist...VODG collaboration......
James Musick's blog post on December 19 contains some interesting statements and a quote from Lane Gilchrist, regarding a Vitro Biopharma collaboration with researchers at the City College of New York (CCNY)......
WFAM(.02)...accumulated a position.....
Accumulated a position in WFAM, in anticipation of the reverse merger formally closing sometime "relatively soon". According to the merger agreement in September, an audit of the reverse merger company is being done, and once that is completed WFAM will officially take ownership. I like the stock in the 1-2 cent area as a speculative play with multi-bagger potential in 2013.
The company is late on filing its last quarterly report, so that is something to be a bit concerned about. I'm not 100% certain, but it appears the company may have quietly filed a name change amendment (from Wikifamilies to ClairNET) earlier this month (December 3). The last time I remember checking for the ClairNET name in the Nevada database nothing showed up......

Share structure will be around 49M. The 75/25% ratio of the RM is unusually high, so I am assuming that management will probably receive some generous option packages at some point, or maybe something unattractive is coming down the road......

VS_UT...picked up a trading position.....
I picked up a position in VS_UT in the last week or so. Strictly looking at this as a possible nice trade from the sub-penny or penny area sometime between now and around mid-January or so.
All of the principal and/or interest on three out of the four toxic financings has now been completely paid off. According to the December 4 recent press release the company plans on paying off the final debt obligation sometime in January. According to the filings that particular debt obligation can not be converted until January 12, 2013, so assuming that the company pays off the debt with primarily cash that should pretty much eliminate much of the continual downside pressure caused by the floorless financings.
The CEO still hasn't disclosed exactly the terms of his Senior Preferred shares that he received as part of this debt reduction, nor how his Senior Preferred shares interact with the normal preferred shares, so that is an issue that has a a pretty big influence on how the share structure of the company looks like. I'm guessing the fully-diluted share count is probably somewhere in the 155-316M area.
But with the elimination of the floorless financing, combined with what appears will be an increased investor awareness campaign, I'm making a bet there might be a trading opportunity here eventually.
