September 30 - The Muscle Flex/Sterling Worldwide Entertainment's Daytime Primetime TV Show 'Sugar Free' Garners Major Interest From Global Television Distributors

 

Muscle Flex Inc. (OTC: MFLI) (www.MuscleFlexInc.com) and Sterling Worldwide Entertainment, LLC (www.SterlingWWE.com), a subsidiary of Visual Industries, Inc., jointly announced today that their television show "Sugar Free," which is currently in pre-production, has received significant expressions of interest from global television program distributors and have engaged the interested media conglomerates in discussions regarding the show. Muscle Flex® and Sterling each hold a 50/50 ownership in "Sugar Free" and share equally in its future revenue streams. The companies are now in the final stages of pre-production for the TV pilot, which, upon completion, will be pitched to major television networks and national cable stations for North American and International distribution.

 

The initial interest is derived from the timely and compelling program content of "Sugar Free" as well as the strong relationships Sterling enjoys in the global television space. Interest in "Sugar Free" is not limited to the actual program broadcast but also extends to sales and distribution of the "Sugar Free" DVD series.

 

In an age where more than 21 million people (7% of the population) have diabetes and even more suffer from obesity and other illnesses, "Sugar Free" delivers real-life, practical solutions to anyone seeking to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hosted by a top-rated TV celebrity with a loyal fan base, "Sugar Free" takes a fun, in-your-face approach to demonstrating sugar-free recipes, exercises, and how to maintain a sugar-free life at work events, lunches, and dinners. In addition, celebrity guest appearances will add variety and depth to keep programming fresh on a daily basis.

 

"Revenue derived from a television program like Sugar Free can be significant. With the huge success of such TV shows as 'The Biggest Loser' and 'Celebrity Fit Club,' diet and exercise shows have been spun into television gold," said Danny Alex, CEO of Muscle Flex Inc. "'Sugar Free' has it all — the information, ideas and personalized motivation to help viewers get healthy and stay that way. The show is truly different -- it's a cooking lesson, self-help talk show and reality TV all in one."

 

Kira Baskerville, CEO of Sterling Worldwide Entertainment, said, "'Sugar Free' will be a show that will help many people worldwide live healthier, longer lives. Sterling is excited to bring 'Sugar Free' to the international market place with Muscle Flex."

"Sterling not only possesses the talent and experience to develop an A-class daytime/primetime TV program but they also have long-standing relationships that can propel 'Sugar Free' into widespread distribution globally," commented Danny Alex, CEO of Muscle Flex Inc. "Sterling has successfully launched health and wellness TV shows globally, including the U.K., Europe and the U.S. 'Sugar Free' is one of Muscle Flex's best kept secrets and its potential has not been fully addressed by investors."

 

The overweight epidemic affects millions of people both young and old. As such, "Sugar Free" is expected to appeal to the 18- to 49-year-old demographic. However, as "self help" and "living a better life" resonates with persons of any age, the show is expected to reach an even broader audience in the U.S. Additional details of the show will be released at a future date in order to protect proprietary content, ideas and information.

September 28 - EQ Labs Smart Energy Drink Complements the Energy Drink Industry

 

When deciding to make Las Vegas, Nevada its headquarters, EQ Labs, Inc. (OTC: EQLB) didn't consider other energy drink manufacturers to constitute a threat, nor did the Company consider itself a threat to the multitude of companies already in existence. Instead, the Company's opinion was that its EQ Smart Energy Drink effervescent tablets would complement the energy drink industry. Consumers would have a new, safe, and healthy energy supplement compared to competing energy drinks, which are loaded with caffeine, calories, carbohydrates, and all very similar in taste.

 

Given the abundance of energy drink manufacturers in the Las Vegas Valley, the Company embraced the belief, "If we can succeed here, we can succeed anywhere." The Company recognized the significance of entering into agreements with national distributors and retail chains as a means of selling into these large volume consumer markets, but believed it unwise to overlook opportunities in its own backyard and started working closely with smaller local distributors and retail establishments.

 

"This strategy, while simplistic, is paying off tremendously," stated Mike Villa, the Company's Sales Manager. "Yes, we've been fortunate enough to enter into agreements with large, national distributors like McLane Distributors Co., who service thousands of 7-Eleven (corporate-owned convenience stores), but our goal to place our product in the hundreds of 7-Eleven franchise stores in the Las Vegas area has also been realized. It entailed calling on local merchants and demonstrating the added value of stocking our products — selling them on the fact that EQ Smart Energy Drink tablets will complement and increase their energy drink sales."

 

"In essence, they could receive a substantial mark-up margin by offering an energy drink product for less than $1.00 per unit," he added. "As a result of securing sales agreements with local distributors like FoodPro and increasing the number of accounts with retail outlets throughout the region, we were able to hire and train additional sales staff to systematically introduce the product throughout the region," Villa went on to state.

 

"This is good news," stated Bob Fain, the COO of EQ Labs, Inc. "It demonstrates the commercial success of our product on a local basis, which has opened doors to other domestic markets. When we embarked on this strategy, our belief was that it didn't make sense to overlook the multitude of smaller distribution opportunities right here in our backyard, while chasing after larger companies outside of our own geographic region. We believe our successes complemented the energy drink industry by providing viable alternatives for local consumers. Given the millions of visitors to Las Vegas, our strong presence here also serves as a gateway to additional accounts on a national and international basis, and we look forward to embracing them," Fain continued. "We're now seeing inquiries from other significant domestic distributors, and plan on formally announcing the consummation of contracts with two of the nation's leading retail chains in the very near future."

A Murphy Analytics report and profile featuring Juhl Wind, Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL) and detailing the latest events in wind energy has been released. This report is of potential interest to investors of the following wind power companies: Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL), Trinity Industries Inc.

From the report: While grid and transmission problems slow or render impossible the development of many utility scale wind power projects, the community wind distributed generation model creates an enormous opportunity for areas where the large projects will not be a fit any time soon. JUHL estimates that meeting the Department of Energy's call for 20% wind power by 2030 will require $15 billion in annual development investment to grow domestic wind power generation to an estimated requirement of 304 gigawatts. As noted in the American Wind Energy Association's 2nd Quarter Market Report1, large scale, utility sized projects will continue to be a significant driver of overall development. However, led by industry pioneer Dan Juhl and a proven management team, JUHL is positioned to thrive as a result of the abundance of small wind opportunities made possible by the distributed generation approach. JUHL's NextGen consumer owned renewable energy products segment serves as a strong strategic and economic complement to the Company's legacy experience.

September 30 - Discovery Labs and FDA Establish Path for Potential Surfaxin Approval

 

FDA Supports Proposed BAT Optimization and Approach for Limited Clinical Trial

 

Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSCO) held a teleconference on September 29, 2009 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting established an approach to potentially resolve the remaining primary issue that Discovery Labs must address to gain U.S. marketing approval of Surfaxin(R) (lucinactant) for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. The meeting focused on Discovery Labs' plans regarding optimization and final method validation of its fetal rabbit Biological Activity Test (BAT, a quality control and stability release test) and a proposed limited Surfaxin clinical trial design, which would simultaneously employ the newly-optimized BAT.

 

At the meeting, the FDA indicated that Discovery Labs' proposed program to optimize and validate the BAT is reasonable. The program is intended, among other things, to confirm that the BAT can adequately distinguish change in Surfaxin biological activity over time. As a result of the meeting, Discovery Labs believes that it has reached an understanding with the FDA and is confident that it will be able to optimize the BAT to the satisfaction of the FDA. Discovery Labs intends to employ the optimized BAT in conjunction with all of Discovery Labs' KL4 surfactant pipeline programs, including the potential limited Surfaxin clinical trial.

 

In addition, Discovery Labs received guidance from the FDA on its proposed limited clinical trial design. The trial design is intended to primarily assess a pharmacodynamic (PD) response following Surfaxin administration in preterm infants with RDS. This design was selected to address FDA requirements for Surfaxin approval while limiting trial expense and duration. The FDA indicated that a PD-based approach is consistent with their expectation for a limited clinical trial and also provided direction regarding trial design specifics. The final clinical trial design will be subject to FDA review following submission of a formal protocol. Discovery Labs expects to finalize a protocol and anticipates submitting it to the FDA in mid-fourth quarter of 2009.

 

W. Thomas Amick, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Labs, commented, "We are pleased with the guidance received and outcomes obtained from our interaction with the FDA. This guidance provides a viable option for Surfaxin and meaningfully supports advancing our pipeline initiatives to potentially address a broad range of respiratory diseases such as RDS, Acute Respiratory Failure, Acute Lung Injury and Cystic Fibrosis. We look forward to continued productive dialogue with the FDA.

 

"Our most advanced programs from our KL4 surfactant pipeline, Surfaxin, Surfaxin LS(TM) and Aerosurf(R), have the potential to greatly improve the management of RDS and to redefine the RDS market. Our top priority is to secure strategic alliance partners and access capital to advance our pipeline and build shareholder value. As we move forward, we will take into account further interaction with the FDA and make strategic assessment, together with existing and potential new partners to determine the appropriate level and timing of Surfaxin investment and to maximize the value of our KL4 pipeline for RDS."

 

Background

 

On April 17, 2009, Discovery Labs received a Complete Response letter from the FDA for Surfaxin for RDS and on June 2, 2009, conducted a related meeting focusing primarily on certain aspects of the BAT, specifically whether preclinical data generated using both the BAT and a well-established preterm lamb model of RDS adequately supports the comparability of Surfaxin clinical drug product to the to-be-manufactured Surfaxin, and whether the BAT can adequately distinguish change in Surfaxin biological activity over time.

 

During the conduct of Phase 3 clinical trials for Surfaxin, Discovery Labs employed an array of quality control tests, but did not employ the BAT to evaluate biological activity of the Surfaxin clinical drug product. After completing the Phase 3 clinical trials, in accordance with discussions with the FDA, Discovery Labs validated and implemented the BAT as a recurring quality control test to confirm biological activity for Surfaxin release and stability testing. Based on guidance received from the FDA in meetings with the FDA in 2006 and 2008, Discovery Labs conducted a series of preclinical experiments to establish comparability between Surfaxin drug product used in Phase 3 clinical trials and the Surfaxin drug product intended to be manufactured for commercial use. Accordingly, Discovery Labs initiated a series of side-by-side studies employing both the preterm lamb model of RDS and the BAT and believes that the correlated results demonstrate comparability and support approval of Surfaxin.

 

At the June 2 meeting with the FDA, Discovery Labs presented data from the preterm lamb model and BAT studies, together with a comprehensive statistical evaluation of such data, intended to establish the comparability of clinical drug product to Surfaxin drug product to be manufactured for commercial use. The comprehensive statistical evaluation was a comparative regression analysis using an accepted FDA statistical method. Discovery Labs believes that the data and related statistical evaluation are highly supportive of the comparability of clinical drug product to commercial Surfaxin.

 

However, the FDA stated at the June 2 meeting that data generated from the preterm lamb model and BAT studies must demonstrate, in a point-to-point analysis, the same relative changes in respiratory compliance between both models over time. Based on this standard, Discovery Labs believes that establishment of comparability in this manner would be an extremely high hurdle and that, from the FDA's perspective, the data analysis provided by Discovery Labs did not meet that standard.

 

In addition, the FDA suggested that the comparability studies in the preterm lamb model and the BAT would not be necessary if the BAT had been implemented to assess Surfaxin drug product used in the Phase 3 clinical trials. The FDA also suggested that, to increase the likelihood of gaining Surfaxin approval and as an alternative to demonstrating comparability using the preterm lamb model and BAT, Discovery Labs could consider conducting a limited clinical trial, while simultaneously employing the BAT, as a path forward to Surfaxin approval.

September 29 - Hard to Treat Diseases Obtains H1N1 License with China SFDA

 

Hard To Treat Diseases (OTC: HTDS) China-based operating subsidiary Mellow Hope, through its exclusive business partner Zhejiang Tianyuan Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd has been granted H1N1 license on September 24, 2009 by SFDA (China Authority). Mellow Hope is the exclusive agent of Zhejiang Tianyuan Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd for International marketing and sales

 

The issuer completed a set of filings in both Chinese and English translations on Pink Sheets. Also, the company promised in two separate news releases of September 2009 that it will release the name of its exclusive partnership. The filings and supporting H1N1 documents on Pink Sheets are self explanatory.

 

The company believes that there is a naked short interest in the stock and the company has retained counsel to investigate this matter and possible market manipulation by short sellers. In this connection, the Company has received numerous allegations and complaints from shareholders. In addition, the company has been the victim of anonymous "stock bashing" and a campaign of negative publicity, a smear campaign. In fact, there is a lawsuit in progress on some of these issues.

 

"We believe that the full potential of our H1N1 vaccine business has yet to be realized in our stock price and this report outlines some of the issues involved," said HTDS CEO Terry Yuan. "Take a good look at all that is going on now for HTDS and you may be surprised to find that when you do so, you share our enthusiasm for HTDS. H1N1 is done and completed so we are eager to start to profit from this huge demand from customers who want to now buy HTDS products immediately. We are also moving with great energy to get our audits completed and get OTCBB listed. When you look at the potential cancer and anti-aging projects of Slavica Bio Chem it is easy to find yourself strongly visualizing their enormous potential. HTDS is also taking aggressive action against the suspected naked shorting that has apparently affected our stock so we can remove all possible barriers to appreciation and give our investors confidence in the future of their investment. Further, most people do not seem to realize we have recently made a sizable recent reduction in our stock outstanding and understand fully what that means.
