Furthermore, we have now completed the acquisition and integration of nine regional competitors, as well as Diabetes Care & Education, which has allowed us to expand our product offerings to include insulin pumps. In addition, we continued to grow our business lines outside of, and complementary to, our core diabetes business that will provide a platform for profitable growth in quarters to come. The end result of these actions is a dramatic improvement in our year-over-year EBITDA profitability and a company which is well positioned to service the ever growing healthcare needs of the Medicare, Medicaid and managed care populations.”

Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

March 28 - Enzyme Environmental Solutions to Hold Interview With Wallst.Net

Enzyme Environmental Solutions Inc. (OTC: EESO) CEO Jared Hochstedler announced today that a Wallst.Net interview has been scheduled and will be heard online at www.Wallst.net.

Hochstedler commented, "In keeping with my goal of building shareholder value and being as transparent as possible, when Wallstreet.Net called and asked for the interview I jumped at the chance to tell our story. EESO has a great story to tell and I love telling it."

Hochstedler went on, "I also would like to comment on the current share structure. As of today (per the transfer agent), EESO has 223,716,398 shares outstanding. The recent increase of shares was due to the many initiatives we have going (mentioned in earlier press releases) and the need for capital equipment to handle the unexpected increase of order flow and future potential acquisitions. I can openly state that with the private funding that we have had in place for several months and committed to our expansion plans, I do not see the number of shares outstanding increasing anytime in the near future. This is an exciting time for our company and I am so pleased with the attention we are attracting from new shareholders.

March 26 - Lightwave Logic Commences Production of Prototype Photonic Chip

Company Expects To Demonstrate Breakthrough Plastic Modulator Early Second Quarter

Lightwave Logic (OTCBB: LWLG) (www.lightwavelogic.com), a technology company focused on the development of electro-optic polymer chips for applications in high-speed fiber-optic telecommunications and optical computing, has commenced production of its first prototype photonic chip.

Photonic (electro-optic) devices are the backbone of the Internet and telephone networks. The production of polymer-based photonic switches has been the fabled “holy grail” of the industry for over two decades. Plastics are less expensive, easier to process, and have been demonstrated to transmit information at higher speeds than the current state-of-the-art.

“The industry has been waiting for a commercially viable electro-optic polymer for more than two decades; many companies have made claims and have not been able to deliver,” said Hal Bennett, CEO of Lightwave Logic. “We are very excited. This is the final step in the development process. The marriage of the chromophore and the spacer system is now complete and the combined material has been delivered to our partner, Photon-X, who will fabricate a prototype polymer optical modulator and measure its technical properties. We are still on schedule to demonstrate this prototype early next quarter. It is this demonstration that will move us into the commercialization phase and to the next stage in conversations with potential customers and partners. Potential customers have told me in no uncertain terms that they are very excited about our polymer, and eagerly anticipate our demonstration.”
