February 13 - JC Data Solutions Receives Confirmation From Transfer Agent in Reduction of Outstanding Shares and Has Filed With the Delaware Secretary of State to Reduce Authorized Shares by 38%

 

JC Data Solutions, Inc. (OTC: JCDS) announced confirmation of reduction of the Outstanding Shares to 370,000,000 common shares and has filed with the Delaware Secretary of State that the company's lawful and documented Authorized Shares be reduced by 38% to 500,000,000 common shares per the company's board resolution adopted earlier this month.

The 38% reduction of the Authorized Shares of the company in no way reduces the shares held by current shareholders.

 

"We are pleased to have formally initiated the 38% reduction of our Authorized Shares," stated Cary Allen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JC Data Solutions. "We realize that previous share structure was causing some undue concern and speculation among some shareholders and in the public markets. This action should clearly alleviate those concerns."

February 13 - Vyrex Corporation Completes Reverse Merger with PowerVerde, Inc.

 

Vyrex Corporation (OTCBB: VYXC) announced that it has completed a reverse merger with privately held PowerVerde, Inc. (“PowerVerde”), the result of which PowerVerde has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vyrex. In conjunction with the merger, PowerVerde also announced the completion of a private placement to accredited investors.

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the former PowerVerde shareholders exchanged their shares for Vyrex shares so that, upon closing of the merger, the former PowerVerde shareholders own 95% of Vyrex. Vyrex intends to change its name to PowerVerde Solar Corporation and apply for a new stock symbol in the near future.

 

George Konrad, co-founder and President of PowerVerde, commented, “We believe PowerVerde’s patented technology will offer an exciting and affordable alternative to photovoltaic and other 'green energy' solutions. We are pleased to be taking the next step in PowerVerde’s history, by becoming a publicly traded company. We look forward to rewarding our shareholders with opportunities associated with our unique power systems designed to create clean 'green' electric power, without burning fossil fuels or creating any emissions or 'greenhouse gases'”.

 

ABOUT POWERVERDE:

 

PowerVerde has designed, developed and patented a unique gas expansion machine (“GEM”) capable of producing electrical power without combustion or fossil fuel and emitting zero exhaust gases. The machine’s source of energy (fuel) is any low-grade heat source, or adequate pressure, created by solar, thermal, geo-thermal, waste-heat or wellhead pressure.

 

The design of the motor was conceived and co-developed by Fred Barker, a former Boeing Engineer. Mr. Barker partnered with co-developer George Konrad, owner of Arizona Research and Development, Inc., utilizing Mr. Konrad’s manufacturing expertise. In 2007 the prototype design was further refined, and another milestone achieved, by combining the GEM with PowerVerde’s proprietary Organic Rankine Cycle System (“ORC”). In this application, the energy from solar- heated water drives the motor, ultimately producing alternating electrical current.

 

For further information contact Mr. Rick Davis at (305-271-3232) or visit http://www.powerverdeinc.com/.

February 13 - Stereo Vision Closes Worldwide Rights/First Look Deal with CPT Holdings for the Family Fun Feature Film 'Booty 3D'

 

Stereo Vision Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: SVSN), a film production company focused exclusively on developing high quality, low cost, polarized 3D feature films, announced that it has completed a license/first right of refusal distribution agreement with CPT Holdings, Inc. (a Sony Pictures Television service mark) for the worldwide theatrical and television feature film rights to the script of Booty, for the production of the family fun pirate movie, Booty 3D.

 

Stereo Vision's Chief Executive Officer, Jack Honour stated, "We're very happy to have the opportunity to produce the Booty 3D feature film. This is a great deal for Stereo Vision. As part of the agreement, SVE has been granted worldwide theatrical, television, and DVD rights to the Booty 3D movie. This will aid tremendously in our efforts to generate foreign pre-sales. Stereo Vision's Chairman, Baywatch creator Doug Schwartz, has been developing the Booty property for several years, and he knows that it's been my favorite for development into a 3D feature film. Booty co-creator, Jim Byrkit, has been working for the last five and a half years with Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski as Conceptual and Creative Consultant on all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski personally selected Jim Byrkit to write and direct the new Pirates of the Caribbean short movie that is a ‘bonus feature’ on the Pirates of the Caribbean World's End DVD."

 

Stereo Vision's Chairman Doug Schwartz added, "Booty 3D is a frolicking family fun film about eight women who get kidnapped by a crew of cutthroat pirates. Upon arriving at the pirates’ island hideout, they turn the tables when they snatch the pirates’ ship filled with all their booty. A chase across the high seas ensues that rivals ‘Thelma and Louise’ as the desperate band of pirates attempts, by hook or by crook, to track down their treasure laden galleon, and the crafty wenches that tricked them out of it. This is a movie about female empowerment, a true David and Goliath tale with a twist. Booty 3D is to be filmed on the South Seas paradise island of Fiji, in state-of-the-art digital 3D. It will be filled with blue skies, spectacular South Pacific scenery, beautiful women, and despicable pirates. Booty 3D is the kind of film that will be fun for the whole family."

GiraSolar, Inc. (OTC: GRSR), an internationally operating, broad based solar energy company with a network of subsidiaries and affiliated entities in the field of solar energy product development, production, application and sales on four continents, announced that it has made the first of several deliveries on a USD 10.3 million supply contract to a solar project developer in Spain.

 

James Miller, CEO of GiraSolar, Inc., stated: “We believe that the entry into and execution of new supply contracts proves that the GiraSolar group is able to maintain a strong position and establish a national presence in Spain through its sales support branch that was established last year, intensive networking and strategic partners in the market, despite increased and intense competition on the Spanish market since the Company’s entry in 2006.”

 

Prepayments have been received in full and the first significant deliveries to Alternativa Energetica, a solar (PV) project developer in Spain, have been made. Project installation is expected to progress favorably during the coming months with follow-up deliveries planned until the end of H1/08.

 

Wieland Koornstra, Chairman of GiraSolar, Inc. and CEO of GiraSolar BV, added: “This particular contract to supply system components is being announced now after we have completed our first deliveries according to schedule. We are proud to have completed this delivery on time especially since silicon, wafer, cell and module supply remain stressed, primarily due to increased pressure from the Spanish market because of deadlines to finish projects. While the silicon supply crisis — relative to industry demand — continues, we intend to maintain our policy of announcing contracts upon the successful start of execution, instead of upon signing contracts.”
