Silverado Financial, Inc. (OTC: SLVO) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mediatechnics Systems Inc., has entered into a joint venture with digital media innovator, Get Digital Data, LLC to bring industrial quality CD and DVD encoding solutions to dealers and service providers worldwide.

Founded in 1988 by top industry professionals, Mediatechnics is a preeminent manufacturer of robotic CD and DVD Duplication Systems. Get Digital Data has harnessed the power of Mediatechnics loaders with Encode Center CD/DVD encoding software and GD3 metadata.

"Encode Center powered Mediatechnics loading systems featuring immaculate GD3 Metadata provide what we believe to be the highest quality metadata available on the market today. We believe that this combination provides what end-users demand," stated Nick Carter, Get Digital's V.P. of Sales and Marketing.

Through the MTI/GD3 joint venture, Encode Center will now be bundled on all Mediatechnics branded loaders, and will be available as a free download for the thousands of existing Mediatechnics customers. Per CD/DVD lookup fees for GD3 metadata are shared, creating usage-based royalty revenue for Mediatechnics.

Bluefire Ethanol Fuels, Inc., a development stage company, focuses on the development, ownership, and operation of carbohydrate-based transportation fuel plants to provide an alternative to fossil fuels. The company's bio refineries would convert organic materials, such as agricultural residues, biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose in municipal solid wastes into ethanol. It also intends to provide professional services to such facilities. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Irvine, California.

April 9 - BlueFire Engages Roeslein & Associates, Inc. and PAC to Begin Construction of Lancaster Ethanol Biorefinery Modules

BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc. (OTC: BFRE), a leader in cellulosic ethanol production technology, has engaged Roeslein Associates, Inc. and PAC (Process Automation Concepts, Ltd.) to begin prefabricating modules for BlueFire’s first ethanol bio-refinery in Lancaster, Calif.

The Lancaster biorefinery will use post-sorted cellulosic wastes diverted from landfills in Southern California to produce a highly-economical alternative biofuel. BlueFire is in the process of obtaining the final permits to commence construction on the secured site, which is expected to produce 3.1 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol annually.

“Prefabrication and modular construction has proven itself time and again to be the best method for maintaining quality, controlling costs and creating the fastest to-market time for the deployment of complex facilities,” said Arnold Klann, President and CEO of BlueFire. “This approach also allows us to potentially sell our facilities as a turn-key manufactured product, leveraging our capabilities and expand our market reach several fold.”

Roeslein was selected as one of the world’s leading firms in the modularization, unitization and pre-assembly of specialized plant facilities. Manufacturing facilities typically have a sequence of production equipment or systems, all of which are interconnected by conveyors, mechanical piping/ducting, electrical wiring and access walkways. Using a proprietary unitizing process, Roeslein integrates all of these systems into free-standing steel structures.

The units are completely pre-assembled, enabling pre-testing and functionality checks before shipping to the final plant site. Unit sections are then broken down and transported on flatbed trailers or overseas shipping containers with all of the pre-assembled conveyance, piping, ductwork and electrical components intact. The unit section legs, ladders, stairs and miscellaneous components are also packed into the same container, so that everything needed for final re-assembly is kept together. Final installation at the plant location is accomplished at an accelerated rate as compared to conventional installations, and many common and costly construction issues are avoided.

In addition to advancing its domestic plans, BlueFire anticipates that refinements of the Lancaster facility design will form the basis for a manufactured product that will be suitable for export, particularly to developing countries.

According to Klann, “the size of our initial Lancaster facility is consistent with the feedstock-gathering capabilities in developing countries or other locations where aggregation of large quantities of useable feedstock is not as practical. These ’right-sized’ modules will be ideal for regions unable to produce locally-sourced fuels.”

BlueFire Ethanol is one of six ethanol companies awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to construct ethanol production facilities. Unlike remote corn ethanol production plants, BlueFire’s biorefineries will be located in markets with the highest demand for ethanol. This dramatically reduces delivery costs and increases biofuels supply, while providing a unique waste-processing technology that helps cities better manage the problem of overflowing landfills.

April 11 - China Solar & Clean Energy Solutions, Inc. Announces Record Fourth Quarter and 2007 Year End Results

– 4Q Revenues Increased 119% to $12 Million
– 4Q Net Income Increased 479% to $1.1 Million
– Full Year Revenue Increased 73% to $37.1 Million
– Full Year Net Income Increased 104% to $2.53 Million

China Solar & Clean Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: CSOL), a premier seller and distributor of solar water heaters, renewable energy solutions, and space heating devices in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (''FY07'').

Revenues for fourth quarter 2007 increased approximately 119% to approximately $12 million, from $5.5 million in the prior year's quarter. The increase was driven primarily by its recent acquisition of Tianjin Huaneng Group Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. (Tianjin), which contributed $5.8 million in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to none for the same period in 2006 and $3.8 million for the third quarter in 2007. Revenues of the Company's core business generated from its Bazhou facility in the quarter totaled approximately $6.2 million, a slight increase over the prior year's fourth quarter.

The Company's gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 increased by 158% to approximately $3.1 million compared to the year ago period. Of the $3.1 million, $1.2 million was contributed by the Bazhou facility, representing 22% organic growth. Tianjin Huaneng contributed $1.9 million in the fourth quarter and was not a component of the Company in the fourth quarter 2006. Revenues emanating from our Bazhou facility had gross margins of 21%, while Tianjin had 28%, and overall gross margins were 22.39%, an increase from 21.7% reported in 2006 which benefited from integration of Tianjin and the operational advantages it brought to Bazhou.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter increased 66% to $1.7 million as compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period, representing operating margins of 14.4% and 18.9% respectively. This increase in expenses was primarily a result of higher general and administrative expenses associated with the integration of the Tianjing Huaneng acquisition. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 4.7% from 4.9%.

Net income in the fourth quarter increased 479% to $1.1 million, or 9% of revenue, up from $0.2 million, or 3.5% of revenue last year. Excluding the Tianjing Huaneng facility, net income and net margins were $1.02 million and 16% respectively. The higher net income was due primarily to substantially higher revenues. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.11 based on 9.9 million fully diluted shares, versus $0.03 on 6.96 million fully diluted shares in the prior year period.

Mr. Deli Du, President and Chief Executive Officer of China Solar commented, "We are encouraged by the successful consolidation of Tianjin Huaneng with our Bazhou facility which will enable us to become one of the leading integrated solution providers of clean and renewable energy to industrial and residential customers in China. During the fourth quarter, we complemented our core solar water heater business with strong growth from Tianjin Huaneng, which enabled us to achieve 72.1% revenue growth. As anticipated, we experienced margin pressure in our core solar water heater products which was offset by higher margins through Tianjin Huaneng's proprietary energy saving boilers and environmental protection equipment which helped to improve our overall profitability in 2007. Tianjin also integrated our solar water heaters into its heat recovery projects to further increase waste heat recovery while we began to incorporate Tianjin's technology into our product portfolio. We believe we are well positioned as a leading player in the clean energy industry in China and will grow the business both organically and through complementary acquisitions, which collectively will enable us to capitalize on our technology and engineering expertise, marketing and branding strength, to deliver a truly integrated clean energy solutions company.

Full Year 2007 Financial Results:

For the full year 2007, revenues were $37.1 million, up 72.7% from $21.5 million in 2006. $9.6 million in revenue for the full year 2007 was contributed by Tianjin Huaneng which began contributing revenue in the third quarter of 2007. $6 million, or 38% of the revenue growth, was primarily attributed to the organic growth of the Company's solar water heater and space heating products, due to increased marketing efforts and expansion of the Company's distribution network and additional market share gains.

Operating expenses totaled $5.1 million for 2007 compared with $3.4 million for 2006. The increase was primarily related to increases in general administrative expenses and other expenses related to an increased sales force, the hiring of key management staff, and an increase in professional fees for legal and accounting services. Net income for the full year grew 103.8% to $2.5 million, or 6.8% of net sales. Diluted EPS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were $.14 compared to $.18 in 2006. The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding to calculate diluted EPS were 11.2 million and 7 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Discussion:

The Company reported $5.5 million in cash and equivalents on December 31, 2007, while stockholders' equity increased to $17.9 million. Net cash flow from operations was $4.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 273% from the same year ago period.

Inventory increased to $3.9 million and accounts receivable increased to $7.5 million due to the consolidation with Tianjin Huaneng. Different from CSOL's core business, Tianjin Huaneng collects receivables during the project life, where 30 percent of the total cost is pre-paid by customers, 30 percent is paid once installation is commenced, 30 percent is paid when installation is completed and 10 percent is held back for one year to guarantee the work.

Mr. Du continued, "We continue to make further progress on our acquisition strategy to complement our solar product portfolio and increase our customer base. In addition, we anticipate that our new flat plate collector production line to be completed and fully operational during April 2008, which we expect will expand our production capacity, enhance our production efficiencies and further improve the quality of our products while contributing to overall profitability. We finished 2007 with a strong cash and working capital position to support future growth as we look to increase capacity, expand our product lines, and geographic distribution. There are still significant growth opportunities for China Solar.''

Mr. Du concluded, "We are excited about the ongoing synergies that we will be able to generate as a result of the integration of the Tianjin Huaneng acquisition. Management continues to evaluate all the Company's opportunities to eliminate redundant expenses while prudently managing overall costs. Everyday we focus on a seamless integration with our acquisitions, and increasing the quality of our solar products to improve profitability, and generating strong financial results for our shareholders."

On March 24, 2008, China Solar announced the appointment of Mr. Yihai Yang to the position of the Acting Chief Financial Officer. The Company plans to initiate investor conference calls when it reports its first quarter 2008 financial results in May 2008.

April 8 - Sun Cal Energy Provides Operational Update and Progress Report

Sun Cal Energy, Inc. (OCTBB: SCEY) provided an operational update on recent progress made in the last quarter.

Sun Cal Energy achieved a number of important milestones within the last quarter. Most notable are the completion of an outstanding reserve analysis and drilling program by Schlumberger Data and Consulting Services on Sun Cal’s Jonah Prospect, as well as the announcement of daily gas flow rates on the Sturgeon 1-11, and the Cunningham 1-02 well located on the Hobart Lease Prospect.

“This quarter has been positive for our company. We feel that further development on our lease holdings will increase our company’s fundamental value as we continue generating opportunities on our properties,” said George Drazenovic, CFO of Sun Cal.

JONAH PROSPECT – JONAH FIELD, WYOMING

The Jonah Prospect’s 6000 acres consists of two parcels, with 2,477.68 acres in the South East Jonah Prospect and 3,546.89 acres in the West Jonah Prospect. A recent report released by Schlumberger Data and Consulting Services on the South East Jonah Prospect expressed the Estimated Ultimate Recoveries (EUR) on the prospect to be as high as 1.28 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

George Drazenovic commented on the report, stating: “We are extremely enthusiastic about the overwhelming reserve analysis conducted by Schlumberger. With the potential reserve estimations at 1.28 TCF, we are striving to make the South East Jonah Prospect the focus of our 2008 exploration program.”

The Jonah Field and the nearby Pinedale Anticline are acknowledged as the premier gas fields in the Rocky Mountains. These fields are located in Wyoming's Greater Green River Basin, and according to the Wyoming State Geological Survey, contain approximately 26 TCF of natural gas. Currently, British Petroleum, Ultra Petroleum, Yates Petroleum and Encana are among the major players working in this area with Encana the largest having operated over 300 wells.

HOBART LEASE PROSPECT, ANADARKO BASIN – WASHITA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA

Sun Cal currently holds a 1.5% Overriding Royalty Interest (ORRI) on 1211 acres within the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma. To date, two successful commercially viable wells have been drilled on the prospect by Marathon Oil, with a combined flow rate of over 15MMCFD. Range Resources is currently permitting a third well on the Hobart lease which may begin as early as this year, and represents the opportunity for continued development and revenue growth on the Hobart Lease Prospect.

LOKERN PROSPECT, SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY – KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Sun Cal Energy holds a 45% Working Interest (75% Net Revenue) in 400 acres of oil leases in the Kern County region comprising the Lokern Prospect in the San Joaquin Valley. The Lokern prospect will be a major focus for Sun Cal Energy in the future, as 2D and 3D seismic, and well data imply a reserve potential of 75 million barrels of oil (MMBO). The Elk Hills Field, just three miles South of Sun Cal’s property has produced 92.8 MMBO and 117.9 billion cubic feet (BCF) of gas.

Sun Cal plans to use hydraulic fracturing technology and possible horizontal drilling to test the commercial productivity of the proven hydrocarbons beneath the Lokern structure.

BRETON SOUND PROSPECT, DEEP TUSCALOOSA – BRETON SOUND, LOUISIANA

Sun Cal holds a 5% WI with a 70% NRI in the 9440-acre Breton Sound Prospect. The average natural gas reserves per deep field in the Tuscaloosa are 250 BCF. Sun Cal is also looking at secondary targets, should they be successful, which could prove to represent significantly larger potential reserves of up to 5 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas.

The drilling of a 21,000 foot test well is anticipated in 2008.

“We are pleased with the multiple-project potential that the Breton Sound Prospect gives our company. Both the primary and secondary targets give significant reserve potential.” – Lewis Dillman, CEO of Sun Cal Energy.

“83/84” PROSPECT, WEST GOMEZ FIELD – PECOS COUNTY, TEXAS

Sun Cal recently acquired a minority joint venture interest in a three well, multi-pay prospect in Pecos County, Texas. Located within the West Gomez Field, which has produced in excess of 5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (TCF), the “83/84” Prospect sits inside one of the most prolific gas plays in the United States.

The prospect, “83/84”, consists of two re-entry wells, the Gulf-Baker 83 #1 (originally owned by Gulf and operated by Getty Oil Co.) and the Sibley 84 #1, as well as the new well, the Sibley 84 #2, on a 1,280 acre lease. Published production data and geological and engineering calculations estimate recoverable reserves to be more than 27 BCF of gas and 50,000 barrels of oil. Sun Cal’s interest will be 2% while any cost over-runs will be assumed by the operator.

“We are excited with our acquisition of the 83/84 Project in the West Gomez Field,” said Lewis Dillman, CEO of Sun Cal Energy. “This acquisition is a part of a series of transactions within North America that will provide cash flow and enable the Company to continue to transition from exploratory activities to production.”

CENTURION PROSPECT – TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI

Sun Cal Energy holds a 5% ORRI in 17,000 non-contiguous acres of producing Oil and Gas assets across Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Prospect is comprised of 153 producing wells with well operators such as Exxon, Hunt Oil, and Quicksilver. To date, the cash-flow for the interest has increased to 19% per annum. In Q1 2008, Sun Cal received the first of its monthly cheques from the asset.

Finance:

Sun Cal Energy has had success in securing financing, and has raised several million dollars in equity through Banque SCS Alliance, a large European-based Investment Bank. Given Sun Cal Energy’s recent activities, the introduction of production revenues, and absence of debt on its balance sheet, Sun Cal Energy does not foresee any difficulty in securing further and future financing.

Management:

Sun Cal Energy is committed to maintaining a diversified portfolio of assets, seeking strategic partnerships for its high impact prospects, and utilizing consultant advice from E & P industry leaders where applicable.
