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."

December 20 - Prana Provides Update on Research and Development Programs at Annual General Meeting

Prana Biotechnology Limited (NASD: PRAN) (ASX: PBT) provided an update of current and future activities of the Company at the Annual General Meeting.

Chairman and CEO of Prana Biotechnology, Mr. Geoffrey Kempler, affirmed that the PBT2 Alzheimer's Disease clinical trial continues to be on target with trial results expected to be announced in the first quarter of 2008.

Mr. Kempler said, "As we previously disclosed, we have completed the dosing of all patients as scheduled without any safety or tolerability issues identified by the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board or the clinical investigators. We are encouraged by the way the trial has proceeded to date and that the drug appears well tolerated. With results imminent, and given a positive outcome, we are planning to progress PBT2 into a larger clinical trial in 2008."

Additional Applications for PBT2:

Mr. Kempler discussed the expansion of future therapeutic targets for PBT2, including Huntington's disease for which advantages are envisioned over current therapies. According to Mr. Kempler, "A positive safety and tolerability outcome with PBT2 in the current trial will allow us to test PBT2 in a second disease indication, such as Huntington's disease, for which we have very promising pre-clinical data."

Update on Immunotherapy Program

Going further into the pipeline of activities currently being addressed, Mr. Kempler shared on-going developments with additional applications of Prana's technology, highlighting a novel immunotherapy program for Alzheimer's Disease which had started in 2003. Prana's scientists have developed monoclonal antibodies against a unique form (a conformational epitope) of abeta which is produced as a result of the oxidative processes central to the toxic pathway in Alzheimer's disease. A candidate monoclonal antibody has been selected which may be expected to commence animal trials in first quarter 2008.

The monoclonal antibodies have been designed against particular configurations of corrupted oligomers of abeta, in an attempt to avoid the adverse effects associated with the earliest generation of Alzheimer's immunotherapy, which recognized all forms of abeta.

Cancer Applications of Prana's Technology

Referring to 2008 and beyond, Mr. Kempler said, "Based on strong pre-clinical data, the Company will initiate an R&D program to develop selected MPAC's to treat cancer. Scientists have identified particular classes of Prana drugs from its library which are toxic to brain cancer cells and are well tolerated in animal models."

Prana is already regarded as a pioneer in understanding the link between metals and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease. Recently, several articles have appeared in prestigious cancer journals highlighting the relationship between metals and cancer. In vivo and in vitro studies published by independent cancer researchers shows that PBT1, Prana's Proof of Concept MPAC, can selectively kill a variety of cancer types.

According to Mr. Kempler, "In 2008, we hope to select a lead candidate to enter the development pipeline. Currently we are planning to screen our best candidates across a range of cancer types. However given that our drugs are designed to cross the blood brain barrier, in the first instance we have focused on brain cancer for which there is little effective treatment. To date we have a promising compound which has shown selective toxicity towards brain cancer cells whilst selectively sparing healthy brain cells, unlike common chemotherapy drugs. Our compounds have the advantage of being available orally."

Mr. Kempler pointed to the year ahead as a time of major value adding outcomes of the Company's research and development efforts over recent years.
