ELDORADO EXPLORATION INCORPORATED (OTC: EDEX)
"Up 100.00% on Thursday"

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

Eldorado Exploration, Inc. is an independent oil and gas company that utilizes a process called Passive Induced Polarization (PIP) to detect electrostatic signals given off of some geological anomalies. In most cases, a positive response indicates a hydrocarbon accumulation and a negative reading is almost always a dry hole. When used with the standard geological tools and methods, the PIP process enhances the odds of success for discovering oil and gas.

EDEX News:

December 19 - Eldorado Exploration, Inc. Year End Update

Although 2007 was a down year for Eldorado Exploration Inc.'s (OTC: EDEX) stock price, the overall future of the Company could be poised for a big boost in 2008.

EDEX will finish the testing of the Mesa gas field in New Mexico and is negotiating with an investment group to provide financing to drill a minimum of 15 wells to prove up the reserves necessary to get the pipeline built. The first income would not start until 2009, but the reserve value behind EDEX stock should be a large multiple of the present share price. The Company also has two additional lease positions of 15,000 acres and 16,000 acres, with almost identical 'PIP' readings, located to the west of Mesa that the Company will drill. If all three blocks are successful, Eldorado Exploration, Inc. could have over 150 gas wells in New Mexico.

The North Dakota well in the Williston Basin should be completed in the first Quarter of 2008. A partner in the well will be replaced and other financing will be arranged to allow the operator to finish the completion of the well. Additional wells are being drilled by others on 'PIP' identified sites in North Dakota and those results should be known in January. EDEX will evaluate the results of several wells in the Lodge Pole Formation before committing funds for additional drilling.

With each successful well Eldorado Exploration, Inc. participates in, the next prospects become easier to fund. The Company tries to drill prospects with many offset or "close-by" wells with a much lower risk factor; therefore, when an exploratory well is drilled, there can be many more wells to drill on the same prospect or lease block. A good example is the Mesa field with a gas well drilled in the middle of an 11,000 acre Eldorado Exploration lease block; whereas, the EDEX may have at least 30 offset wells according to early projections.

The Company is also participating in two 4000 ft. wells during January and February, 2008. If successful, the cash flow could start within 90 days of completion. There are over 50 additional PIP-identified locations for the Company to participate in if the wells are productive. EDEX has a reduced interest in the first wells drilled, but has no "at risk" money involved. Potential income could exceed $20,000.00 per month per well to the Company.

EDEX has acquired leases outright, or options, to drill on over 100,000 acres with hundreds of 'PIP' sites in 5 states. The early ground work and drilling has been done; now, the Company hopes to participate in the development the opportunities that we have spent the last 3 years accumulating.

Eldorado Exploration, Inc. has not sold any stock to raise funds recently because of the low price per share and further dilution. The Company has positioned itself to promote the interest in new wells with partners who will put up the risk money, or even all of the funds required, for half of Eldorado Exploration's share. This is allowing the EDEX to participate in the drilling of wells without having to sell additional stock to raise money.

Eldorado Exploration was formed to search for big targets with big wells using the Passive Induced Polarization (PIP) Geophysical technology. We now have the opportunity in 2008 to show what we can do. There has never been a better time to be in the oil exploration business and we are finally ready to reap the rewards from our leasing and 'PIP' surveying. With hundreds of drill sites and partners to put up the risk money, we will be positioned for EDEX to grow from an exploration company into a production company. It has been a struggle at times, but our mission has never changed. We have had to adjust, but will not rest until EDEX is very successful.

"Please contact me by phone or e-mail at any time. I am proud of Eldorado Exploration, Inc. and thank you for your continued support. Together, we will prevail," said David T.(Tom) Laurance, President, Eldorado Exploration, Inc.

GINV News:

December 18 - ROO Group Announces Strategic Realignment, Appointment of New CEO, Reduction of Workforce and Board of Directors

Global Innovation Corp (OTCBB: GINV), a leading Electronic Manufacturer Services (EMS) company which designs, engineers and manufactures technologically advanced printed circuit boards, announced its financial results for the first quarter for fiscal year 2008.

Revenue: Net sales decreased to $8,439,772 for the three months ended October 31, 2007 from $9,422,696 for the same period in 2006, a net decrease of $982,924 or 10%. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in revenue from our largest customer of approximately $1.5 million offset by increased sales of approximately $500,000 from the remainder of our top twenty accounts. The reduction in sales to our largest customer is a result of moving some of their production units to China combined with an overall decrease in the demand requirements for that product. The increase in revenue to the remaining customers is a result of the change in the technology mix that generates higher revenues. This increase is attributable to the new equipment and processes that have been implemented over the last several quarters.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 2007 was $1,789,845 compared to $1,746,652 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $43,193 or 2.5%. Gross margin increased from 19% for the three months ended October 31, 2006 to 21% for the same period in the current year. The increase in gross profit percentage is a result of the implementation of our strategy to outsource lower margin products and increase the level of technology within the existing capabilities of our Wylie manufacturing facility. The increase in gross profit dollars on approximately $1 million less in revenue provides the response that was expected when these initiatives were implemented over the last several quarters. As we are able to further implement these strategies, we expect to see both revenue and gross profit improve.

Income: Net income available to stockholders for the three months ended October 31, 2007 increased approximately $17,000 from $85,224 for the same period in 2006 to $101,578. While revenues were down from the same period in the prior year we were able to achieve a slight increase in net income. The increase is a result of the improvement in gross profit and a continued focus on controlling costs.

December 20 - Lighting Science Group Helps New York Ring in the New Year in an Illuminating Fashion

At the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2008, New Yorkers - and people around the World - will ring in the New Year under the glow of a brighter and more energy-efficient Times Square ball illuminated by cutting edge Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology.

"For the first time in history, New Year's eve's most iconic image, the Times Square Ball, will be lit by LEDs," said Govi Rao, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group (OTCBB: LSGP), the company responsible for making it possible.

Lighting Science Group (LSG) was commissioned by Philips Lighting to develop an LED lighting system to deliver the first environmentally friendly, brighter, more responsive New Year's Eve ball, while maintaining the core lighting elements of the old ball. The new ball is 6 feet in diameter and weighs 1,200 pounds, and consists of 9,576 Philips' LEDs and 672 of Waterford's double-cut crystals.

"Lighting Science was selected as a partner by Philips because we have a proven track record of successfully managing very complex LED projects from design to execution. In addition, we have unique capabilities to design and integrate hardware and software solutions - including optics, thermal management, power supplies and drivers - that control LEDs and provide a completely integrated solution," said Govi Rao.

The new ball incorporates both colored and white LEDs. The colored LEDs were designed to consume only 1-2 Watts of energy while delivering the same light output as last year's 40-Watt colored incandescent bulbs.

Rao continued, "LED's are the most responsive, and among the most energy efficient lighting technologies ever created. Finding a way to integrate the flexibility of all the ball's elements with the vision of the lighting designers was a unique challenge for LSG. Our engineers were able to create an integrated package that highlights all the best features of each element, the Philips LEDs, and the Waterford Crystals, to generate breath-taking displays, and lighting effects."

Countdown Entertainment, owners of the Time Square New Year's Eve event, commissioned Philips Lighting and Waterford Crystal to create the new ball. Lighting Science was hired by Philips to integrate both companies' technologies - specifically designing, integrating and assembling light engines to manage the ball's power and communications signals - to guarantee that this unique structure works on queue at the stroke of Midnight.

Lighting Science worked closely with Focus Lighting, the ball's lighting designer, and Hudson Scenic, the ball's structural framework designer and manufacturer, to ensure that the overall integration went seamlessly.

"The technology platform developed by Lighting Science boasts more than 16 million vivid, vibrant, highly-saturated colors as well as billions of possible effects," added Rao. "This New Year's Eve ball highlights our unique capabilities in delivering high performance LED based solutions and we are proud to help the world usher in the New Year - in a more responsible way."
