July 6 - BusinessWeek Article Highlights CardioVascular BioTherapeutics for Developing a Promising Protein Therapy to Treat Coronary Artery Disease
CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:CVBT) recently announced it is featured in a BusinessWeek Online article that highlights the race within the biotech industry to develop an angiogenesis treatment for patients with heart disease. Angiogenesis refers to the growth of new blood vessels that may help those suffering from coronary heart disease by alleviating the decreased blood flow associated with the disease. The article can be viewed at: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2007/tc2007075_25959 8.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_technology (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.)
The article highlights CVBT as a company that "may be well ahead of the pack in developing an effective and economic angiogenic therapy -- and setting new standards for cardiac care." CVBT is focused on developing formulations of its active pharmaceutical ingredient Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (FGF-1), which is a recombinant protein that stimulates new blood vessel growth. Quoting a study by The Bruckner Group, the article states that "the use of FGF-1 could save health-care insurers up to 20% of treatment costs for limited-option coronary artery disease patients over a five-year period after treatment." CVBT's development of FGF-1 represents a new and potentially cost effective approach to treating a disease that is devastating both to patients and the healthcare industry given the economic burden of current treatments.
"Given that more than 71 million people in the U.S. suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, it is an important target for angiogenesis therapy as it offers a viable treatment to patients who may otherwise have no options," said Dan Montano, CEO, CVBT. "CVBT is excited to be part of the growing research movement exploring new therapies for treatment of heart disease."
CardioVascular BioTherapeutics is expected to begin a Phase II clinical trial of its drug candidate, CVBT-141A, later this year in patients with severe coronary heart disease.

July 5 - Applied Micro Circuits Corporation Announces Preliminary First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Revenue Results
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) recently announced that based on preliminary financial information, the Company expects to report net revenues of approximately $50 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, down approximately 29% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company had previously provided guidance for first quarter revenues to be approximately $59.6 million.
Kambiz Hooshmand, AMCC's president and CEO, said, "The shortfall in the first quarter revenues is the result of continued weakness in the Telcom market space, weaker than anticipated processor sales due to delayed new product ramps and continued inventory corrections."
The Company estimates that first quarter revenues declined in all business lines except Storage and that sales to distributors were down nearly 28% sequentially. Storage revenues grew as anticipated. These first quarter results are preliminary and thus are subject to the Company's management and independent registered public accounting firm completing their quarterly review procedures.
Based upon a book to bill ratio of 1.14x in the first quarter, the Company now expects revenues to rebound in the September quarter, with revenues to be in the $55 million to $60 million range. The Company also expects continued growth in subsequent quarters through the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. The Company, by fiscal year-end 2008, plans to reduce its quarterly operating expenses by approximately 10% from the fourth quarter fiscal year 2007 run rate, while maintaining investments in its focused growth initiatives.

July 6 - Video Game Stocks Mixed Ahead of E3 Conference, Majesco Jumps
Shares of video game publishers were mixed Friday ahead of next week's industry conference, the E3 Media & Business Summit -- formerly known as Electronic Entertainment Expo -- which starts Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif.
This year's event has been scaled down considerably from 60,000-person, celebrity-studded extravaganza of years past. Only about 30 of the largest video game companies will be in attendance, down from hundreds in prior years.
Shares of Majesco Entertainment Co., a small game developer whose titles include "Cooking Mama: Cook Off" for the Nintendo Wii, and "Black and Bruised" for Sony's PlayStation 2, soared after a Nollenberger Capital Partners analyst started coverage with a "Buy." rating.
The New Jersey-based company's stock rose 17 cents, or 11.6 percent, to $1.63. It has traded between $1.13 and $2.13 in the past year.
Nollenberger Capital analyst Todd Greenwald sees Majesco benefiting from Nintendo's runaway success with the Wii and the handheld DS.
"Over the past six months no hardware vendor has had as much momentum or market share gains as Nintendo," despite supply constraints for both the Wii and the DS, he wrote in a note to investors. "We believe the Nintendo story has legs and that Majesco will be a beneficiary."
