July 30 - Anything Trucker, Inc Signs LOI to Become US Marketing Arm for Sales and Distribution of NavStar Technologies, Inc. Products

 

Anything Brands Online’s (OTC: ANYT) Anything Trucker unit announced the signing of a LOI to provide sales and distribution of NavStar Technologies' product lineup for the US market. NavStar Technologies, Inc. (OTC: NVSR) is a multinational firm focused on developing and commercializing asset tracking and monitoring devices for vehicles and high value cargo. The companies expect to complete the formal agreement within the next 30 days.

 

Anything Trucker and Anything Brands Online’s myFreightWorld division (www.3plinabox.net) will leverage their existing sales force to provide equipment, software and related services to trucking and other commercial transportation companies in the US. The NavStar Vehicle Tracker and service will be the initial product sold in 2009. Vehicle Tracker has 20,000 units in service around the world and is a proven performer in the international marketplace. The LOI specifies 10,000 units and associated service will be sold annually which equates to $2.5M in hardware and service revenue. With year one sales forecast in the US at less than one tenth of one percent penetration, there is a significant "upside" in this opportunity. The NavStar product lineup complements Anything Trucker's existing lineup of technology oriented security and safety product offerings and will make the company a major player in these markets.

 

Tim Norton, President, Anything Trucker, stated, "We are pleased that NavStar has placed its confidence in our organization for the promotion and sale of its product line.

Douglas Pritt, Chairman & CEO NavStar Technologies, Inc. "Something as simple as immediate confirmation of delivery can improve cash flow for a trucking company by several days and sometimes as much as a week. There are dozens of applications we can develop immediately. With more than 30 million trucks in the US, this is an opportunity we cannot 'slow roll' as originally planned."

Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/solar-energy-initiatives.htm

 

Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (www.SolarEnergy.com) is executing its “RENEW THE NATION” campaign, intended to promote job growth nationwide via an aggressive grass roots effort. The main focus of RENEW THE NATION will be working with companies in the construction industry and related trades affected by the economic downturn to re-train and re-deploy their workforce, allowing this important national asset to meet the needs of the Solar Energy industry, the fastest growing industry in the world. We are executing on a three-pronged approach to achieve our plan. This includes: continuing development of one of the fastest growing dealer networks in the U.S. that sells and installs solar solutions to homeowners and commercial customers; placing solar systems on large commercial buildings and selling the energy output to the owner/occupant(s); and becoming a developer of solar parks bringing together landowners, utilities and our corporate resources to build large photovoltaic installations. The Company’s dealer network of solar energy installers has access to Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), BP Solar (NYSE: BP) and GE Solar (NYSE: GE) equipment via its distribution agreements. While Solar Energy Initiatives is not a solar franchise, and the Company does not compete directly with industry giants such as First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR), Kyocera (NYSE: KYO) or Sanyo (OTC: SANYY), as a system integrator, it provides exciting and practical solutions to businesses and individuals worldwide that understand the value of solar power.

July 29 - Solar Energy Initiatives Announces Securing Land to Build a 300 Megawatt Solar Park in West Texas

 

* The Project Is Estimated to Generate Approximately $750 Million

* The Solar Park Will Be the World’s Largest Non-Utility Owned Solar Park to Be Created in the Americas

 

Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (OTCBB: SNRY), executing on a grass roots campaign, “RENEW THE NATION”, to help redeploy a portion of the U.S. work force and focus on reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels by selling solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) technologies, today announced that the Company signed a contract securing land for the design, construction and operation of a solar park in west Texas. A Limited Liability Company will be formed to own, finance and operate the solar park. Solar Energy Initiatives will sell the solar panels and balance of system to the LLC, generating as much as $750 million in revenue within a 6 year time period. During the first year of development, the project will generate over $100 million in sales. The revenue approximation is solely based on the sale of the solar panels and does not account for the sale of generated electricity.

 

Construction of the 300 megawatt system represents the largest non-utility owned solar park to be created. Preliminary work, including zoning, permitting, EPA approvals and other activities will begin immediately with construction set to begin in the next 18 months. The project will be constructed in various increments over the six year time frame. At full capacity, the solar park could generate enough green renewable energy to displace approximately 700,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, annually, that would have otherwise been produced by non-renewable power generation. The project could produce enough energy to provide power to approximately 60,000 homes.

 

“Solar Energy Initiatives is thrilled to have secured such a monumental contract,” stated, David Fann, Chief Executive Officer of Solar Energy Initiatives. “The size and scope of this venture represents a significant milestone in establishing the Company as a true market leader within the rapidly expanding solar deployment sector. It is an incredible testament to our management team and Board of Directors that we have been successful in securing the contract to build the largest non-utility owned solar park.”

 

Mr. Fann continued, “As we continue to attract additional funding for these projects from our partners we will bid on new projects that make strong economic sense for our Company. The deployment of these large scale projects will enhance our ability to negotiate panel prices with solar panel providers which will enhance our overall margins and drive our profitability. Management believes that the signing of the solar park contracts will assist us in working with additional municipalities and land owners to obtain additional contracts, increase our earnings and achieve our primary goal of improved shareholder value.”

ANADYS PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED (NASDAQ: ANDS)

"Up 77.78% in morning trading"

 

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/ANDS.php

 

Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patient care by developing novel medicines for the treatment of hepatitis C. The Company believes hepatitis C represents a large unmet medical need in which meaningful improvements in treatment outcomes may be attainable with the introduction of new medicines. The Company is developing ANA598, a non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of hepatitis C. The Company has also investigated the potential of ANA773, an oral, small-molecule inducer of endogenous interferons that acts via the Toll-like receptor 7, or TLR7, pathway in hepatitis C.

 

ANDS News:

 

July 30 - Anadys Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results and Program Highlights

 

Cash Reserves Augmented with Recently Completed Financing Expected to Fund Operations into 2011

 

Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDS), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patient care by developing novel medicines for the treatment of hepatitis C, today reported its financial results and program highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

 

"With our enhanced cash position, reduced cost structure and Phase II protocol allowance from the FDA, we are well positioned to continue advancing the development of ANA598 as a treatment for chronic hepatitis C," said Steve Worland, Ph.D., President and CEO of Anadys. "ANA598 has demonstrated potent antiviral activity and good tolerability in Phase I, as well as preclinical properties indicative of likely synergy when used clinically in combination regimens. The upcoming Phase II trial has several important elements, including twelve weeks of ANA598 combination treatment and a randomized exploration of shortening the overall duration of HCV therapy in conjunction with ANA598 treatment. We look forward to receiving the first data from this trial by year-end 2009 and additional data in the first half of 2010."

 

Financial Results

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale totaled $30.6 million compared to $27.9 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale is the result of proceeds received from a "registered direct" offering of common stock and warrants in early June 2009, partially offset by the year-to-date cash utilization.

 

Research and development expenses were $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. The $0.9 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million decrease in ANA773 development costs partially offset by $0.5 million in severance costs recorded in conjunction with the strategic restructuring initiated in June 2009. ANA773 development costs during the second quarter of 2009 were primarily driven by the ongoing Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of hepatitis C. During the second quarter of 2008, ANA773 development costs were primarily driven by the now completed 13-week GLP animal toxicology studies and the Phase I oncology clinical trial. The ANA598 development costs during the second quarter of 2009 were primarily associated with the 14-day healthy volunteer study and the ongoing long-term chronic toxicology studies which were initiated in September 2008.

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. The $0.5 million increase primarily resulted from severance costs recorded in conjunction with the strategic restructuring initiated in June 2009.

 

Operating expenses were $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. Included as a component of Anadys' operating expenses were non-cash, share-based expenses of $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

The net loss was $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Included in the net loss for the second quarter of 2009 is a $0.4 million gain resulting from a reduction between issuance and June 30, 2009 in the liability associated with common stock warrants issued in conjunction with the "registered direct" financing. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was $0.21 in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $0.25 in the second quarter of 2008. Non-cash share-based expense resulted in a $0.03 and $0.02 increase in basic and diluted net loss per share for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Anadys reported a net loss of $15.3 million, compared to $14.5 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was $0.51 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

Operational Highlights

 

* Closed Registered Direct Financing. In early June, Anadys closed a "registered direct" offering through the sale of units to institutional investors, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.35 of a share of common stock. $17.5 million in gross proceeds were raised, with net proceeds of approximately $16.0 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. Proceeds from the transaction are being used to further the development of ANA598, as well as for other general corporate purposes.

 

* Future Operations to Focus on Development of ANA598. In June, Anadys initiated a strategic restructuring to focus its operations on the continued development of ANA598, in particular a Phase II study in combination with pegylated interferon-alpha and ribavirin. The restructuring included a reduction in Anadys' workforce expected to generate annual savings of $4 to $5 million, while retaining the clinical development infrastructure required to conduct the Phase II study of ANA598, key capabilities directed toward pharmaceutical development and next generation non-nucleosides, and a streamlined administrative staff. Also included in the restructuring is an expected reduction in annual facility expense of approximately $1.8M associated with our completed move to a smaller facility.

 

Development Program Highlights

 

ANA598 is the Company's non-nucleoside HCV polymerase inhibitor.

 

* Finalization of ANA598 Phase II Protocol. Anadys has finalized its protocol and received FDA clearance for the Phase II study of ANA598 in combination with pegylated interferon-alpha and ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. In the Phase II study, naive genotype 1 patients will receive ANA598 or placebo in combination with Pegasys® (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus® (ribavirin, USP) (a current standard of care, or SOC) for 12 weeks at dose levels of 200 mg or 400 mg twice daily (bid), each with a loading dose of 800 mg bid on day one. After week 12, patients will continue to receive SOC alone. Patients who have undetectable levels of virus at weeks 4 and 12 will be randomized to stop all treatment at either week 24 or 48. The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients who achieve undetectable levels of virus at week 12 (complete Early Virological Response or cEVR). Response at week 4 will also be assessed to provide the rate of Rapid Virological Response, or RVR. Patients will be followed for 24 weeks after stopping therapy to determine the rate of Sustained Virological Response, or SVR. Ninety patients are planned to be enrolled in this study - thirty patients receiving ANA598 and fifteen receiving placebo at each dose level. The study will be conducted at a number of clinical sites in the United States. Patient dosing in the trial is expected to commence in the next several weeks. Anadys expects to receive RVR data from the 200 mg dose group by year-end.

 

* Reported Potent Antiviral Activity/Good Tolerability in HCV at EASL. In April 2009, data demonstrating potent antiviral activity and good tolerability of ANA598 as a single agent at all dose levels in a Phase Ib study in HCV patients were reported at the EASL conference. The median viral load reduction over three days ranged from 2.4 to 2.9 log10 in the three dose groups studied. No patient at any dose level showed evidence of viral rebound while on ANA598 and there were no serious adverse events.

 

* Reported 14-day Healthy Volunteer Study Results. In April 2009, Anadys reported results from a 14-day study of ANA598 in healthy volunteers. ANA598 was generally well-tolerated in all cohorts in the study with no serious adverse events. Three instances of mild-to-moderate rash were observed at the higher dose levels. Pharmacokinetic results from this trial confirmed the plasma half-life of ANA598 of approximately 24 hours, and demonstrated that steady-state levels of ANA598 in plasma are reached after six to seven days of dosing.

 

* Dosing Completed in Long-Term Chronic Toxicology Studies. The dosing period is completed in two long-term, chronic toxicology studies of ANA598 (26 weeks duration in rats and 39 weeks duration in monkeys). At the 13-week interim, the toxicology profile of ANA598 in both species was very favorable. While 39-week data from the monkey study is not yet available, a preliminary assessment of the results from the 26-week study in rats indicates a similar profile to that seen in rats at 13 weeks, in which the only adverse finding was a marginal decrease in the rate of weight gain in females at 1000 mg/kg, the highest dose tested. Complete results from both studies are expected at the end of the third quarter 2009.

 

ANA773 is the Company's oral inducer of endogenous interferons that acts via the toll like receptor 7 (TLR7) pathway.

 

* Phase I Clinical Trial in HCV. Nine patients have completed dosing at 2000 mg in the Company's trial of ANA773 in HCV patients, and the final patient is currently being dosed. During the second quarter the Company reported evidence of viral load reduction in a majority of patients who received ANA773 at 1600 mg. Anadys expects to present further results from this study later this year and intends to explore

 

* Reported PK/PD Data for ANA773 in HCV at EASL. In April 2009, the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the healthy volunteer portion of the Phase I clinical trial of ANA773 in HCV were reported at the EASL conference. ANA773 was generally well tolerated with no serious adverse events. Plasma drug levels were proportional to dose, and there was a dose-dependent induction of well-recognized interferon dependent biomarkers.

 

* Phase I Clinical Trial in Oncology. In order to focus its resources on ANA598, Anadys recently elected to stop enrollment of new patients in the ongoing Phase I oncology trial of ANA773. Anadys plans for currently enrolled patients to continue to receive ANA773 until disease progression is observed and to conclude the trial once all patients reach this point.

(OTC: AMNE) (www.americangreegroup.com) announces it has a signed a licensing deal with Ecosafe Insulation of Florida, LLC (ECOFL) to market "Infinite R," in the State of Florida. AMNE would also like to remind shareholders Friday is the shareholder of record date as issued by FINRA for the 5 for 1 forward split. In order to receive the dividend, you must be a shareholder of record on the close of that day.

 

AMNE has granted ECOFL licenses in 5 of Floridaorida's biggest counties to market Ecosafe Foam and felt it was a natural fit for ECOFL to market Infinite R at the same time. ECOFL has retained a local law firm to assist the company in getting the State of FLORIDA to recognize Infinite R as a standard building product. Miami-Dade County has the most stringent building codes in the Country. Once Infinite R is recognized as a standard in the building industry in FLORIDA, other States will accept Infinite R as a new building material. FLORIDA received $137 million in weatherization funds from the stimulus program. The law firm retained by ECOFL is assisting ECOFL in tapping into those funds as well as other grants it may receive for helping to create jobs in the State of FLORIDA.

 

ECOFL will become a manufacture of the Infinite R so it can distribute the product easily throughout the state. With the help of AMNE, they are actively seeking machinery to purchase and setup a facility.

 

ECOFL has ordered a Sprinter truck from AMNE which is being outfitted with spray gear for the Ecosafe Foam and is expected to be delivered by mid August. ECOFL has retained a local PR company to help launch both products after the truck arrives with a media event scheduled which will feature a demonstration of both products to help launch both products in FLORIDA.

 

ABOUT INFINITE R

 

Infinite R controls the temperature differential across the R-value. If the temperature difference can be kept low then the heat flow across any R-value is also kept low. If the temperature difference, sometimes referred to as Delta T, equals zero then zero heat flow occurs. Using this new patented technology, zero heat flow conditions have been witnessed even when large temperature differentials existed between the two spaces.
