China Digital Communication Group Announces Preliminary Year End Results
PR Newswire - March 07, 2006 08:01
Issues Guidance for Accelerated Growth in 2006
LOS ANGELES and SHENZHEN, China, March 7, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- China Digital Communication Group (OTC Bulletin Board: CHID), one of the fastest growing battery components manufacturers in China, today announced its preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 2005 that exceeded its previously announced guidance issued on April 25, 2005.
China Digital reported preliminary total revenues of $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 145% from total revenues of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, and 11% greater than its previously announced revenue guidance of $11.4 million. China Digital reported preliminary net income of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 517% from net income of $440,496, or $0.008 per fully diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2004, and 4% greater than its previously announced net income guidance of $2.6 million.
China Digital attributed its growth to continued, robust demand for its lithium ion battery shell product line from mobile phone manufacturers, expanded production capacity by more than 40% as a result of relocating its wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary Shenzhen E'Jenie to a larger plant in the Xing Lian Industrial Zone, increased manufacturing efficiencies, and new customer orders as compared to 2004.
Guidance for the Year Ending December 31, 2006
The following projections are on a consolidated, pro-forma basis and include the acquisition of Zhuo Tong, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. In order to present an accurate picture of revenue and profit trends, the results stated for 2006 consist of sales and profit from Zhuo Tong, as if China Digital had owned the subsidiary for the entire year. For fiscal year 2006, China Digital projects total revenues of $26.5 million and net income of $7.6 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share.
Chang Chun Zheng, CEO and Chairman of the Board of China Digital, said, "We have created a scalable operating platform that allows our two subsidiaries, E'Jenie and Zhuo Tong, greater access to shared resources, as well as provides significant cross-marketing and referral opportunities, which we believe can increase revenues by 100% year-over-year in 2006. If 3G systems are readily adopted in China, as we anticipate they will be, our initial projections for 2006 could be significantly higher due to increased demand for 3G components to power various telecommunicatons equipment and lithium ion mobile phone batteries. In addition to new markets, China Digital will continue to pursue business opportunities with a focus on achieving profitability through additional mergers and acquisitions within the telecommunication equipment and new energy industry fields."

GAPPING 50% GreenShift Invests in General Hydrogen; Company is Market Leader in Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Based Power Systems
Business Wire - March 06, 2006 08:01
NEW YORK, Mar 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF) today announced it is investing in General Hydrogen Corporation, a leader in battery replacement technology for electric forklifts, industrial vehicles and other off-road equipment.
General Hydrogen, based in Richmond, BC, Canada, produces high-performance Hydricity(R) Packs, which can triple electric industrial vehicle runtimes and raise productivity significantly.
General Hydrogen's business model is based on replacing conventional lead-acid batteries in centralized industrial applications with high-performance 'plug and play' power packs that contain a Ballard fuel cell. The main applications are for Class 1 forklifts and Automated Guided Vehicles.
Frank Trotter, General Hydrogen's President and Chief Executive Officer, said "General Hydrogen's Hydricity Packs are entering the industrial vehicle market in the US right now and making sales. The potential market is huge in the US where material handling industries are keenly seeking technology that can reduce operational costs and increase efficiency.
"The US installed base of electric forklifts is about 800,000 and double that in Europe with a robust infusion of new vehicles every year."
Ivanhoe Energy performs successful run on heaviest fraction of California heavy oil
PR Newswire - March 06, 2006 08:25
Conference call later today to discuss the run
BAKERSFIELD, CA, March 6, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Ivanhoe Energy Inc.'s (NASDAQ: IVAN and TSX: IE, IE.U) heavy oil upgrading commercial demonstration facility (CDF) in California has completed a product run in which the CDF successfully upgraded vacuum tower bottoms (VTBs) derived from California heavy oil. VTBs have an API gravity that is typically less than 7 degrees, and are the heaviest and most viscous components of crude oil.
"This product run successfully demonstrated Ivanhoe Energy's heavy oil upgrading technology in one of two primary modes which would be used in a commercial operation - the "High Yield" configuration," said Leon Daniel, Ivanhoe Energy's President and CEO. "Our High Yield operation is suited for a broad range of "stranded" heavy oil resources that cannot be developed due to the inability to transport the heavy crude from the field to market, and is focused on viscosity reduction and maximization of liquid product yields. Stranded field opportunities are found throughout the world's oil basins and Ivanhoe Energy has identified various specific target opportunities of this type."
In this latest test, California heavy oil VTBs, with a very high viscosity (approximately 300,000 centipoise at 140 degrees F), were converted to a low viscosity product (1300 centipoise at the same temperature) - a reduction in viscosity of over 99%. VTBs are the heaviest fraction of crude oil and, at room temperature, are virtually solid - similar to dry road asphalt. Once processed with Ivanhoe Energy's HTL equipment, the upgraded VTBs are blended with the lighter crude oil fractions removed by earlier processing and would yield a product with a viscosity low enough to flow freely in a pipeline without the need for adding diluent or pipeline heating. The overall product blended yield from this run would be over 90%.
Ivanhoe Energy's patented HTL technology upgrades the heaviest fraction of the heavy crude oil in the hot

CanArgo Energy Corporation: Georgian Gas Sales Agreement Signed
Business Wire - March 03, 2006 01:10
NEW YORK, Mar 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CanArgo Energy Corporation ("CanArgo") (AMEX:CNR)(OSE:CNR) today announced that its 100% owned subsidiary, CanArgo (Nazvrevi) Ltd ("CNL"), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") which includes the terms of a take-or-pay natural gas supply contract with the Ministry of Energy of Georgia relating to gas sales from the Kumisi gas prospect near Tbilisi, Georgia, ("Kumisi"). The MOU will become effective subject to final regulatory approval.
This MOU provides the commercial basis for CNL to move forward with the appraisal of Kumisi and, based on this, CNL plans to spud a well on Kumisi between May and December of this year.
The MOU contains the terms of a take-or-pay gas supply contract with the Georgian State, secured against appropriate bank guarantees, in which CNL will supply gas from Kumisi based on a pricing formula under which gas is initially supplied at a Contract Price of US$ 55 per thousand cubic metres (US$ 1.56 per thousand cubic feet), increasing to US$ 80 per thousand cubic metres (US$ 2.28 per thousand cubic feet) by the tenth contract year, after which escalation will be based on European Union heavy fuel oil price changes.
The gas supply contract is for the entire field life. However, after the tenth year, CNL has the option of selling to third parties if the price obtained is 10% above the Contract Price at that time.
The Kumisi prospect is located approximately 15 km (9 miles) south of Tbilisi. The WR16 well, drilled in Soviet times, is reported to have tested gas condensate from what is interpreted as the gas-water contact in the Cretaceous/Palaeocene horizon. This well was tested and produced gas plus water at a rate of approximately 3,500 barrels per day and is interpreted to have tested the down-dip extent of the Kumisi gas deposit. Additional seismic data has been acquired by CNL over this structure showing a significant up-dip prospect and the location for the Kumisi #1 well has been identified. The prospect is of very significant size with the principal risk being closure on the structure.
The MOU was signed in the presence of Zurab Nogaideli, the Prime Minister of Georgia, at the "Invest in Georgia" Forum held in New York City. Following the signing, Dr David Robson, Chairman, President and CEO of CanArgo commented, "I am extremely pleased to have signed this Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Energy of Georgia. This contract gives us the commercial security to move ahead with the Kumisi gas prospect which we believe has very good potential to satisfy a large proportion of Georgia's future gas demands."
The Minister of Energy for Georgia, Nika Gilauri, commented "We are very happy to have executed this gas purchase agreement and we are looking forward to further mutual co-operation with CanArgo. Georgia needs to develop its domestic gas resources to reduce dependence on imports and success in this project will go some way to achieving this."
CanArgo is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with its oil and gas operations currently located in the Republic of Georgia and in Kazakhstan.
The matters discussed in this press release include forward-looking statements, which are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include the uncertainties inherent in oil and gas development and production activities, the effect of actions by third parties including government officials, fluctuations in world oil prices and other risks detailed in the Company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements are intended to help shareholders and others assess the Company's business prospects and should be considered together with all information available. They are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company cannot give assurance that the results will be attained.

CanArgo Energy Corporation: $13 Million Convertible Financing Finalised
Business Wire - March 03, 2006 13:28
NEW YORK, Mar 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CanArgo Energy Corporation (AMEX:CNR)(OSE:CNR) ("CanArgo") today announced that it has entered into a $13 million private placement with a small group of accredited investors ("Noteholders") of subordinated convertible guaranteed notes (the "Notes") and two year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of common stock ("Warrants").
The Notes will be convertible in whole or in part into CanArgo common stock at a price of $1.37 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, and will mature on September 01, 2009. Subject to the consent of the Senior Noteholders, CanArgo may call the Notes from March 01, 2007 at an initial price of 105% of par, declining 1% every six months. Interest will be payable in cash at 3% per annum until December 31, 2006, 10% per annum thereafter. The Notes will be subordinated to CanArgo's existing issue of Senior Secured Notes and guaranteed on a subordinated basis by CanArgo's material subsidiaries.
The Warrants will be exercisable in whole or in part for CanArgo common stock at an exercise price of $1.37 per share, subject to adjustment. The expiration date of the Warrants may be accelerated at CanArgo's option in the event that the Manavi M12 appraisal well in the Republic of Georgia (which is currently being drilled) indicates, by way of an independent engineering report, sustainable production potential, if developed, in excess of 7,500 barrels of oil per day.
CanArgo intends to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares underlying the Warrants and the Notes for public resale.
The proceeds are to be used to fund the development of the Kyzyloi Gas Field in the Republic of Kazakhstan and on the commitment exploration programs in Kazakhstan through Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited ("Tethys"), the wholly owned subsidiary of CanArgo which holds CanArgo's Kazakhstan assets.
I'll be a buyer around 1.3 and Mt gave a target 3.IF they have news next week then all bets are off.
PTSC I think it had topped out for now we might get that dip today.

Advanced ID Corporation Participates in Successful RFID Summit and Announces Contract with Mahanakorn University of Technology
Business Wire - March 02, 2006 06:00
BANGKOK, Thailand, Mar 02, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- In a press conference on February 20, 2006, Hubert Meier, Member of the Board of Directors of Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB:AIDO), presented Advanced ID's present and future projects in Thailand. Advanced ID has an engineering facility in Chang Mai which includes an R&D Center and Technical Support Company. Advanced ID works in close collaboration with the Thailand government departments responsible for livestock. To date, there have been numerous successful field tests with DataTRAC(TM), Advanced ID's UHF/RFID livestock tracking and traceability systems.
During the press conference, the Company also announced the Memorandum of Understanding that was recently signed with Mahanakorn University of Technology. The Company and University signed the formal agreement, covering the next several years, to further develop RFID technology applications and products. Mr. Meier outlined that for countries to be successful, there must be greater government awareness and involvement. Mr. Meier also stressed the need to aggressively open the markets with continued support from government and regulatory officials. The research and development of RFID must provide intellectual property rights, while also maximizing the development of applications that meet the needs of domestic markets. According to Mr. Meier, "Today's events mark a milestone in collaboration and demonstration of technology. Our partners at Mahanakorn University of Technology have a stellar reputation in research and provide additional infrastructure to enhance and accelerate our applications. With continued aggressive support of the government, regulatory, and scientific communities, we are maximizing our investments and our technology."
Professor Apisak Worapishet of Mahanakorn University stated, "Advanced ID has provided, and is making accessible, the needed investment in people, products, and proven technology. It is our shared goal to develop a pool of highly trained engineers and technocrats to serve the booming future of RFID in both domestic and overseas markets. With our partnership announced today, Mahanakorn University is certain to become one of the leaders in the education of RFID Technology in Thailand and Asian countries. The partnership with Advanced ID will accelerate our superiority in RFID technology, while also stimulating greater awareness, and sales, of Advanced ID products and applications globally."
According to Advanced ID President & CEO, Dan Finch, "To date this was the most successful opportunity to showcase DataTRAC(TM), our UHF/RFID livestock tracking and traceability technology and products. Advanced ID Asia Engineering Co. Ltd. is headed up by Gottfried Auer, Managing Director. Mr. Auer's team made this event possible through their commitment, focused due diligence and hard work. The conference provided a large audience of key stakeholders, including industry leaders, scientists, researchers and interested users. We are very gratified with the tremendous showing and the significant business interest generated. To also reach a long-term contract with Mahanakorn University of Technology was equally important. With our livestock focus, and the other RFID applications we are involved in, this contract supplements and strengthens our position and our market credibility."
