April 30 - Compounding Growth Continues in Online Digital Photo Processing Space
Digital prints up 25%, online channel up 51% according to data released this week
myPhotopipe.com, Inc. (OTC: MPPC), a web-based online provider of digital photo processing and related services, commented upon industry data that became available this week.
The February 2008 PMA Monthly Printing and Camera Trends Report released this week reveals that total prints made from digital images increased 25% when compared with the prior-year month, and the total share of market for "ordering prints online with mail delivery" expanded from 11.5% to 15.6%. This represents year-over-year growth of 51% for online ordering with mail delivery. February was the 14th consecutive month of double-digit industry growth in prints made from digital images since December 2006, as well as the 14th consecutive month of double- or triple-digit growth in prints ordered online and received via mail.
Compounded together — 25% or better growth in the overall market and 50% or better growth in the online channel — the value of a share point in the online space has nearly tripled since the beginning of 2006.
"myPhotopipe.com has always been a believer in the online model for ordering digital prints, and we remain the only 'pure play' in the online ordering with mail delivery channel," observed L. Douglas Keeney, Chief Executive Officer of myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "It's easier. It's convenient. It delivers your prints to your home. So, yes, this latest data represents excellent news for our space and for our Company. Unfortunately, most people will overlook the most important part of the data, which involves the compounding effect, the perfect storm if you will, of a growth market and a growing share of that market. On a constant dollar basis, the value of online ordering has surged almost 300% since 2006."
On a quarterly basis, the share of market represented by photographs being ordered online with mail delivery increased from 12.4% in March 2007, to 13.5% in June, 14.0% in September, 15.1% in December and ending February 2008 at 15.6%.
myPhotopipe.com recently announced a record year and continued growth in both new products and customers. "We're adding between 400 and 600 new customers a month and seeing our web site bookmarked approximately 12,000 times a month. The new industry data tells us that the future value of every new customer increases over time, which in part explains why those of us in both the consumer and professional segment of this business are enjoying extraordinary sales growth," concluded Keeney.

Video Pirates Beware; USA Video's SmartMarks Combats Studio Theft
AudioStocks.com Interviews Patrick Gregston of USA Video Interactive Corp.
AudioStocks.com recently interviewed Patrick Gregston, Head of Business Development at USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO) (CDNX: US.V) (Berlin: USF.BE) (Frankfurt: USF.F). USVO designs and markets technology for delivery of digital media and developed its MediaEscort(TM), MediaSentinel(TM) and SmartMark(TM) digital watermarking products and technology for producers and distributors to invisibly protect their content from pirates.
Mr. Gregston provides context and insight to the company's recent news that Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment LLC, a subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, a News Corporation company, has gone live with MediaEscort(TM). MediaEscort(TM) is being deployed to protect the Studio's filmed entertainment content that is streamed via the Internet to its various trade business partners in advance of DVD availability.
"The business models of Hollywood are under attack," notes Mr. Gregston. "Digital technology developments have made the industry suspicious of its customers. For nearly a decade the focus of the industry has been upon making digital theft impossible, which has failed to stop the activity of enterprise pirates or casual file sharing. USVO offers an alternative, which encourages expanded legal transactions in the digital realm, an area of tremendous potential gain to the industry. SmartMarks, our unique watermarks, make it possible to track legal provenance of content, and enforcement of licenses at every level."

Vermillion's Roundtable Teleconference Highlights Peripheral Artery Disease Diagnostic Program; Features Commentary from Vascular Medicine Expert
Company Offers Access to Archived Web Cast and Phone Replay of the Forum
Vermillion, Inc. (NASD: VRML), a molecular diagnostics company, recently held a roundtable teleconference focusing on its peripheral artery disease (PAD) diagnostic program and the need for improved detection of this life- and limb-threatening condition. The teleconference, which took place yesterday, featured keynote speaker John Cooke, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, whose research forms the basis of Vermillion's PAD blood test.
The roundtable discussion was the first of a series of calls to provide investors an opportunity to hear more about Vermillion's diagnostic programs and understand the various markets that the company seeks to address. Yesterday's forum served as a means to educate this audience about the current state of PAD and why there is a clinical need for a blood test that can determine a person's risk of developing the disease. PAD, a serious condition affecting some eight to 12 million Americans, can double a person's risk of heart attack and stroke, and increase the risk of amputation and death. There are treatments that can save the lives and limbs of these patients once the disease is recognized.
"The signs and symptoms of PAD often go unnoticed, and as a result many patients are not being properly diagnosed. We are in serious need of new, innovative tools to aid in the diagnosis and management of this life- threatening condition," said Dr. Cooke. "Together with Vermillion, we are working to develop a simple blood test that will stratify an individual's risk of developing PAD. This will serve as an important advancement in the overall management of the disease - benefiting both the patient and the physician alike."
"Improving diagnosis of PAD, expediting treatment and enhancing patient outcomes is a key goal for Vermillion, as well as for Dr. Cooke and his research team at Stanford," said Gail Page, President and CEO of Vermillion. "We believe that our PAD diagnostic program will achieve these goals, and look forward to reporting additional clinical and commercial results in the coming months."
To access the archived Web cast of the conference call, visit the Investor Relations section of Vermillion's Web site at www.vermillion.com. Additionally, a telephone replay of the roundtable discussion is available through May 30, and may be accessed by dialing (800) 633-8284 from the United States and Canada or (+1 402) 977-9140 internationally.

Discovery Labs Provides Guidance On FDA Approvable Letter for Surfaxin for RDS
Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (NASD: DSCO) on May 1, 2008 received an Approvable Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Surfaxin® (lucinactant) for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Discovery Labs' Manufacturing, Quality and Regulatory management have performed an assessment of the remaining conditions set forth in the Approvable Letter that must be satisfied to gain U.S. marketing approval for Surfaxin.
Discovery Labs believes that the steps required to file a response to the Approvable Letter may be completed in the upcoming 6 to 8 weeks and the response may potentially be designated by the FDA as a Class 1 resubmission with a review target of 60 days, rather than the longer 6 month review target. The overall timeline may be shortened or extended following discussions with the FDA to clarify certain requests in the Approvable Letter. Importantly, the Approvable Letter contains no requirement for additional clinical trials to gain Surfaxin approval.
Key achievements towards gaining FDA approval of Surfaxin include the following:
* On April 30th, Discovery Labs and the FDA agreed to the content of the Surfaxin package insert. Discovery Labs is pleased with the competitive profile of the proposed package insert.
* Discovery Labs has successfully addressed quality and manufacturing issues at its manufacturing operation in Totowa, New Jersey:
1) In March 2008, the FDA completed a pre-approval inspection (PAI) of Discovery Labs' manufacturing operations and recently issued an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) indicating an approval recommendation. Discovery Labs' manufacturing operations are prepared for Surfaxin commercial production.
2) In support of the Surfaxin NDA, Discovery Labs manufactured three Surfaxin process validation batches. As of March 2008, these batches successfully attained 12 months stability and continue to demonstrate conformance to established stability specifications.
3) The quality control and quality assurance facilities and operations of Discovery Labs were inspected by the FDA with acceptable results.
May 1st Approvable Letter
Discovery Labs has completed an assessment of the remaining comments set forth in the Approvable Letter that must be addressed to gain U.S. marketing approval for Surfaxin. Discovery Labs firmly believes that this recent Approvable Letter reflects notable progress towards gaining FDA approval for Surfaxin. This Approvable Letter does not include any comments related to Surfaxin analytical chemistry methodology, drug product impurity qualification, or comparability of the current Surfaxin manufacturing process to that used to manufacture drug product employed in the pivotal study.
Discovery Labs' assessment of the Approvable Letter is as follows:
* The release and stability biological activity test for Surfaxin requires further clarification with the FDA. The Approvable Letter included a request to further tighten an acceptance criterion for this biological activity test. Based on data currently available, Discovery Labs believes that it and the FDA can agree upon a final acceptance criterion for the test.
* The Approvable Letter included a request to further tighten acceptance criteria for lipid drug substance impurities. Based on data currently available, Discovery Labs believes that it and the FDA can agree upon final acceptance criteria.
* The Approvable Letter requests further tightening of two of the 21 physical and chemical drug product acceptance criteria that were proposed by Discovery Labs in its October 2007 Complete Response. Based on the Surfaxin data set currently available, Discovery Labs can comply with this request.
* The FDA also requested that Discovery Labs submit summary information from certain equipment-related qualification reports for inclusion to the Surfaxin NDA. This information was previously reviewed and found acceptable during the FDA's recent pre-approval inspection of Discovery Labs' manufacturing operations.
On Friday, May 2nd, Discovery Labs contacted the FDA regarding scheduling a meeting to clarify the limited items noted above.
