November 30 - Vsurance Offers New Insurance Product to Protect New Pet Owners and Retailers

USA Today November 16, 2007 Story: "States Consider Laws to Protect People from Puppy Lemons" Illustrates Growing Demand for Vsurance New Insurance Product

Vsurance, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUR) a leading provider of pet health insurance, announced that the Company will provide insurance for new pet owners designed to mitigate the risk that comes with purchasing a new pet.

A November 16, 2007 USA Today article entitled: “States Consider Laws to Protect People from Puppy Lemons” focused on this growing need for States to provide insurance coverage to protect buyers from dog “lemons.” Currently, 17 states have puppy lemon laws, which give consumers recourse if their new pet has problems.

The USA Today article tells the story of Amber Hodgson of Madison, Wisconsin, whose Yorkshire Terrier racked up $2,000 in veterinary bills just two days after she purchased the lovable pet.

“We believe that states that with dog lemon laws such as New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania are on the right track,” commented Russell Smith, CEO of Vsurance, Inc. “Pet owners like Amber Hodgson shouldn’t have to shell out money just days after they purchase a dog. We at Vsurance now offer coverage that not only protects retailers, but protects pet owners as well. We are very excited to introduce such a vitally and important pet insurance product. Purchasing the right pet for the family is an important and difficult decision. This type of lemon law coverage provides these pet owners with needed peace of mind.”

November 29 - International Building Technologies Group, Inc. Announces 3rd Quarter Financials and $350,000 Reduction in Expenses

International Building Technologies Group, Inc. (OTCBB: INBG) announced that the Company has filed its 3rd quarter financials for 2007.

In the 10QSB for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the expense labeled "due to the change in fair value of Derivative Liability" was removed from the financials due to the adoption of FAS 150. This accounting change resulted in the removal of approximately $351,817 of expenses that was reflected in the second quarter financials ended June 30, 2007. These expenses were related to new debts the company acquired during the year. We believe that the treatment under FAS 150, among the diversity in accounting treatments that exist, is more appropriate and more accurately reflects the Company's position.

The Company also provided the following updates: IBT Management visited Suijiang, China in November 2007 to meet with Chinese government officials on the planned factory for the production of IBT building panel. A primary purpose of the visit was to negotiate a land deal in Suijiang, China for the factory so that production can begin as soon as possible. IBT signed a Memorandum with Suijiang County Government to build a factory in this area which would supply building materials for the construction of a new town for 50,000 residents of Suijiang. IBT will be to exclusively supply panels to the project which is expected to take five years to complete. Many residents in the Suijiang area are being displaced by the flooding created by the construction of the Xiangjiabar Hydroelectric Power Station, the fourth largest hydroelectric dam in the world.

The Rose Best residential complex project in Suining, Sichuan Province of China has neared completion on the foundations of the 50,000 square meter residential complex. IBT acquired a 51% stake in the Rose Best Project on July 8, 2007. Once the foundation is complete, the project is expected to bring revenue to the company as early as the 1st quarter of 2008.

November 30 - Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. Enters Into $3 Million Factoring Agreement With Wells Fargo Business Credit

Company Provides Loan to Fleet Global Services and Resolves Dispute With Miami Landlord

Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: CRGO) (Berlin: CD6.BE) (Frankfurt: CD6.F) (Frankfurt: 217026.F) announced several developments that it expects should have a positive impact on the Company.

The Company has entered into an account transfer agreement with WelIs Fargo Business Credit ("WFBC") pursuant to which WFBC will serve as a factor to the Company's subsidiary, Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. ("Cargo Connection") by purchasing up to $3 million of Cargo Connection's accounts receivable. Cargo Connection also entered into a buyout agreement with WFBC and its previous factor, Accord Financial, Inc., pursuant to which WFBC succeeded to Accord Financials' security interest.

"We expect that this new factoring agreement, which increases our factoring capacity, will save the Company a significant amount of money and provide a bigger base for customer expansion," said Scott Goodman, CFO & COO of Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. "It is further evidence of our continuing efforts to create a more stable financial base to help achieve our short- and long-term goals."

The Company also said it has loaned Fleet Global Services, Inc. ("Fleet") $300,000 and has received from Fleet a one-year promissory note bearing an annual interest rate of 11 percent. The Company is continuing to work toward finalizing an acquisition of Fleet pursuant to a previously announced letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement"). According to the terms of the Letter Agreement, upon closing the Company would be required to pay $1 million in cash, issue 270 million shares of restricted common stock and issue additional shares valued at 10% of the EBITDA of the Company's new Fleet division for a two-year period. The Company expects that amount of the Note would be applied toward the cash portion of the purchase price.

The Company expects that Fleet, a non-asset based carrier company which it believes was considered to be the cornerstone of Fulmer Logistics' Carrier Division, of which Fleet was once a subsidiary, will add up to approximately $25 million or more in revenue to Cargo Connection. The Company expects that when the acquisition is completed, of which no assurance can be given, the combined business would have anticipated annual revenues in excess of $50 million in 2008. In addition, the Company expects synergies that will be accomplished through the addition of Fleet will favorably impact the Company's operating profitability.

Additionally, the Company said it has entered into an agreement resolving a dispute with the landlord of its Miami facility, AMB HTD Beacon Centre, LLC.

"We anticipate that each of these developments will have positive impact on the growth and development of the Company and further enhance shareholder value," said Goodman. "We're working very hard to secure additional financing and are hoping to close the Fleet acquisition as soon as practical."

November 30 - Workstream Announces General Availability of TalentCenter 7.0

Recognized by Industry Pundits as Next Generation On-Demand Talent Management Solution Delivering Superior End-User Experience, Built-in Analytic Dashboards and Out-of-the-Box Globalization

Workstream Inc. (NASD: WSTM), a leading provider of on-demand compensation, performance and talent management solutions, today announced the general availability of Workstream TalentCenter 7.0, the HR industry’s most comprehensive and advanced suite of on-demand talent management solutions for large and global organizations.

TalentCenter 7.0 – widely regarded as the HR industry’s first “Talent Management 2.0” offering – has gained instant popularity among press and pundits, many of whose comments can be found at:

www.workstreaminc.com/company/news_press_room.asp.

According to the SystematicHR.com blog Tactical Talent Management Becomes Strategic published on October 31, “Talent suites are also getting much more integrated. Take Workstream’s newest release that brings their entire suite together through a single reporting tool. The ability to report cross functionally used to be the domain of the ERP world, but developments like this in the SaaS talent marketplace provide more strategic viewing of the organization by allowing more detailed cuts of data than previously possible.”

“TalentCenter 7.0 is nothing short of an inflection point for the HR industry,” said Mike Gioja, CIO and Executive Vice President of Products & Services at Workstream. “The combination of advanced business intelligence capabilities, a Web 2.0 user interface and an on-demand architecture firmly establishes TalentCenter 7.0 as the leading talent management suite. Businesses seeking to maximize their return on investment in talent management and related compensation and performance programs can leverage TalentCenter 7.0 today.”

Unveiled publicly for the first time last month at the Human Resource Executive’s HR Technology Conference & Exposition, TalentCenter 7.0 unifies best-of-breed talent management solutions from Workstream including out-of-the-box multi-language and multi-currency support, a common reporting engine, a common security infrastructure, and user-definable, personalized workspaces. Enhancements include:

  • Out-of-the-Box Globalization – TalentCenter 7.0 offers built-in support for 10 languages and multiple currencies, including languages such as English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and double-byte language like simplified Chinese.
  • Unification – “No Boundaries” Cross-Module Integration – TalentCenter 7.0 provides a common reporting and user-interface layer for Workstream applications that far exceeds the basic integration capabilities of competitive systems by eliminating the boundaries between talent management modules. This improves effectiveness and productivity by providing managers a single view of information across multiple talent management solutions like compensation planning, performance management and competency management. The improved and intuitive look-and-feel reduces the need for training, enabling company wide adoption and acceptance.
  • Built-in Advanced Analytics and Dashboards – TalentCenter 7.0 delivers rich analytics and dashboards for enhanced decision-making, including role-based views for staff at many levels. Executive dashboards quickly identify key issues and highlight results, while line-of-business dashboards and analytics support pay-for- performance and competency optimization initiatives.
  • Web 2.0-enabled User Interface – TalentCenter 7.0 provides a superior end-user experience, with heavy use of Web 2.0 conventions such as dynamic rollovers that improve usability. The new software is highly configurable and improved navigation enhances productivity by ensuring fewer mouse-clicks for faster access to information.

“We are very excited about the general availability of Talent Center 7.0 because nobody else in this industry can deliver the breadth and depth of functionality and user experience,” said Deepak Gupta, President and CEO at Workstream. “This positions Workstream ahead of other solution providers in the industry and represents a significant milestone for Workstream.”

November 30 - Technical Communications Corporation Reports Profitable Results for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter and the Year Ending September 29, 2007

Technical Communications Corporation (OTCBB: TCCO) announced its results for the fiscal quarter and year ended September 29, 2007. For the quarter ended September 29, 2007, the Company reported net income of $543,000, or $0.39 per share, on revenue of $1,751,000, as compared to net income of $54,000, or $0.04 per share, on revenue of $845,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the year ended September 29, 2007, the Company reported revenue of $4,920,000 and net income of $846,000, or $0.62 per share, as compared to revenue of $3,897,000 and a net loss of ($94,000), or ($0.07) per share, for fiscal 2006.

During fiscal 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which requires the recognition of stock-based compensation in net income for the period. As a result, included in net income for the year ended September 29, 2007 is a non-cash expense of $100,000, or $0.07 per share for stock-based compensation. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on a prospective basis; therefore, no corresponding expense has been reflected in fiscal 2006.

Commenting on corporate performance, Carl H. Guild, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCC said, “Revenues in the fourth fiscal quarter improved substantially, driven by significant shipments of TCC’s DSP9000 radio encryptors to South America and Southwest Asia. In South America, TCC continues to expand upon its installed base with a 50 system DSP9000 shipment to a major user who is increasing its air-to-ground secure communications deployment. The DSP9000 system is unique in that it creates an end-to-end secure voice network between vehicle, man-pack, aircraft, ship and commanders’ offices using a wide variety of radios. We believe the DSP9000 Radio Encryptor System is ideally suited for emerging border control deployments being planned in South America and elsewhere. TCC continues an intensified marketing effort of both its radio and wireless products to the growing number of Central and South American countries that are investing in secure communications.”

Mr. Guild continued, “In the Southwest Asia region, Afghanistan continues to expand its demand for secure communications. As previously reported, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 TCC received a $1.4 million order for DSP9000 handset encryptors which will provide end-to-end voice security for both portable and fixed-base radios. Deployment of the TCC DSP9000 radio encryption system enables the Afghan, NATO and U.S. forces to communicate securely across the entire country. TCC’s family of radio encryptors provides a robust, highly reliable security solution for most radio systems operating in the HF, VHF and UHF bands and is a popular choice for achieving interoperability between a variety of radio brands.”

November 29 - U.S. Air Force Awards World Am's Senz-It Subsidiary $417,000 Biological Development Contract; Second Phase Agreement Could Yield Additional $1,400,000 in Fees in 2008

New Technologies Being Tested to Determine Ability to Detect Potential Threats to U.S. Military

World Am, Inc. (OTCBB: WDAM) reported that its Senz-It, Inc. subsidiary has been awarded a United States Air Force biological development contract, worth up to $417,000. Under terms of the agreement, Senz-It will have the opportunity to prove the feasibility of its detection technology by providing test stations to detect and measure biological substances that are potential threats to the U.S. military.

Under the terms of the agreement, the company will be reimbursed for expenses, up to $417,000, spent to set up and test its detection technology for the United States Air Force. The company also announced that it has already submitted a proposal for a follow-on second phase of this detection effort that, if granted, could lead to additional fees of $1,400,000 in 2008.

“This project will enable the Air Force Institute for Operational Health's Applied Technology Center, at Brooks City Base in Texas, to evaluate Senz-It's patented technology and compare it with other testing methodologies,” said Robert A. Hovee, World-Am's Chairman and CEO.

“This award is a major milestone in our commercialization efforts,” Mr. Hovee said. “It underscores the significant potential applications of Senz-It's cutting-edge technology.

“This initial development assignment from the Air Force is intended to launch and deploy a new generation of detection technologies to identify and quantify potential threats to our military's safety.

“The ability to create a platform that provides the instant, simultaneous measurement of chemical and biological analytes is the goal,” said the CEO.

“Confirming our technology's promise, by successfully performing under this Air Force development contract, would help substantiate our belief in this technology. The second phase would continue the efforts covered under the initial contract and could take the project to initial implementation.”

Senz-It's core detection technology, developed to detect and measure biological substances, is based on molecular imprinted xerogels with a fluorescent report molecule, affixed to the immediate proximity of the target's binding site within the xerogel. Senz-It technology's unique advantages include:

  • Specificity comparable to monoclonal antibodies, but processed and detected in seconds, not hours
  • Robustness and stability under extreme chemical and physical environmental conditions
  • Detection capabilities with minimal cross-reaction among neighboring analytes
  • An extremely low false-positive detection rate

World Am has two operating subsidiaries, Senz-It and Isotec.

Senz-It represents an innovative advancement in the field of micro-sensors that has applications in Homeland Security, indoor air quality monitoring, food safety, and health care. Its potential products are intended to compete in the developing field of real-time detection and notification devices, and are being designed to identify patterns of molecules present in liquid, and gas environments for significantly less cost than current approaches.

Senz-It's sister subsidiary is Isotec, whose solutions provide “Protection, not just Detection.” It develops, integrates and supplies Automated Security Portals, broadly categorized as access control, weapons control, or materials control systems that rigorously control entry or exit of people and materials into and/or out of a facility, while reducing the need for security personnel. Applications of the technology have been delivered to the commercial, retail and government sectors. Isotec's experience in this field allows it to provide high quality, code compliant, application-optimized solutions at the lowest cost in the shortest timeframe.
