Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals (OTCBB:APPI) has been rated "Speculative Buy" with a target price of $0.06 by Beacon Equity Research Analyst Dr. Victor Sula. The full report is available at http://www.BeaconEquityResearch.com. Anyone interested in receiving alerts regarding Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals research should email members@beaconequityresearch.com with "APPI" in the subject line. In the report, Dr. Sula writes, "Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is shifting its business plan to focus on biofuels and renewable energy production and distribution. In Q4FY06, APPI announced an agreement to acquire World Health Energy (WHE), a renewable energy company focused on the development and production of alternative fuels. WHE plans to use cost-effective agricultural products both locally and from around the world to develop natural alternative fuels. The Company plans to build two biodiesel plants in the US and is in the process of securing financing for their construction." "According to Clean Edge research, the global biofuels market will grow from $15.7 billion in 2005 to $52.5 billion by 2015. Meanwhile, Emerging Markets Online forecasts US biodiesel consumption will grow to 750 million gallons by the end of 2007. Moreover, the US biodiesel market should grow significantly to match the consumption levels of European counterparts. Total biodiesel sales in the US amounted to less than 0.5% of all petro-diesel on-road consumption in 2005." "We believe the Company's market capitalization and valuation will gravitate towards its bio-fuel peers. Many early-stage bio-fuel companies are trading at huge premiums to other industry medians. Competitors such as Earth Biofuels (OTCBB:EBOF), Pacific Ethanol (Nasdaq:PEIX), Verasun Energy (NYSE:VSE) and Southridge Ethanol (OTCBB:SORD) trade at a P/S multiple of roughly 10 or less."

Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (OTC:VTSS) today announced that its electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) technology has achieved the lead position within the 10GBASE-LRM market, capturing design wins with five of the world's top six X2 module suppliers. Widespread deployment of 10GBASE-LRM X2 modules across the existing multi-mode fiber (MMF) plant will remove the present bottleneck that exists in the Enterprise space, enabling the upgrade path from 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and unleashing new, higher bandwidth voice, video and data applications. Vitesse's EDC technology is enabling this deployment by providing unsurpassed compensation for time-varying multi-path modal dispersion encountered in legacy MMF. The VSC8238 EDC/CDR embodies this technology and allows 10GBASE-LRM module manufacturers to easily achieve 300-meter reach over MMF, rivaling the performance of existing, more costly 10GBASE-LX4 generation modules. The new IEEE-802.3aq, 10GBASE-LRM module standard calls for a minimum reach performance of 220 meters. The VSC8238 exceeds the IEEE standard performance level by 4dB over all operating conditions. Since first announcing this device in March 2006, VSC8238-based X2 module solutions have successfully passed interoperability tests conducted by the Ethernet Alliance in Monza, Italy, and manufacturers are now engaged in system level qualifications. "The superior VSC8238 performance and Vitesse support allowed Opnext to quickly design, fabricate and test our X2 LRM module," said Jon Anderson, director of engineering, Opnext, Pluggable Modules. "The module performed with margin to specifications and enabled us to meet our customer's aggressive qualification schedule." Stock Price closed at: 0.94, Up+ 1.08% on 77,380 shares traded
