McDermott International (NYSE: MDR): The Best Kept Secret in the Energy Industry

May 12, 2010 ( Investorideas.com energy newswire ) Investorideas.com releases energy commentary from Karl Miller on McDermott International (NYSE: MDR):

It is common knowledge that the top of my conviction must own or buy list are Occidental Petroleum (OXY) an outstanding mid-cap integrated oil, gas and chemical producer; Chesapeake Energy (CHK) the premier acquirer, developer and producer of low cost shale gas with a world class set of integrated oil partners, and McDermott International (MDR) a company that primarily services U.S. Utility power generation fleet, performs U.S. government contract work, and services the oil and gas industry through fabrication and other non-drilling related operations, in addition to the balance of the disclosed energy portfolio.



For public interest I disclosed my model energy portfolio "Charitable Energy Stocks" on January 27, 2010. To see my model energy portfolio go to weblink: http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Karl_Miller/news/1281.asp



However, I feel that one of my model companies, MDR, while being one of the highest rated buy stocks by Wall Street Energy Analysts, is completely misunderstood by the majority of the market and investors. So let’s dispel some fallacies and focus on the facts and more importantly, the real value of MDR, and why it is a “must own” energy stock.



The MDR Board of Directors, with shareholder approval, plan to spin-off the company into two (2) separate publicly traded companies in a spin-off of Babcock and Wilcox in a tax free transaction, which is targeted to be completed by the end of June 2010, a little over a month from now. The two companies will be owned 100% by the current MDR shareholders and operate under the following names and structure:

1) McDermott International which, per the Company will take on the name of J. Ray McDermott S.A. will continue to focus and lead the industry in Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment provides engineering, construction, installation and project management services to offshore oil and gas field developments worldwide. They operate in most major offshore producing regions throughout the world, including the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, the Middle East, India, the Caspian Sea and Asia Pacific. J. Ray McDermott, S.A. will employ approximately 16,000 people worldwide.



2) The Babcock & Wilcox Company ("B&W") per the Company is a leading technology innovator in power generation and a specialty manufacturer of nuclear components with a rich legacy spanning over 140 years. B&W designs, engineers, manufactures, and constructs power generation systems, primarily for large utility and industrial customers, as well as related aftermarket parts, services and environmental control systems. For its largest customer, the U.S. Government, B&W supplies nuclear components for defense programs and manages and operates nuclear facilities and environmental management sites. B&W, including its joint venture companies, employs over 15,000 people worldwide.



Now, while a tax free spin-off is always interesting, what is more interesting is the value inherent in the current consolidated MDR entity and the value creation and exposure to various sectors of the US and Global energy market the spin-off provides investors. Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment provides engineering, construction, installation and project management services to offshore oil and gas field developments worldwide



Firstly, I can speak with authority on J. Ray McDermott, S.A. They are “Not” engaged any drilling or exploration activities. What they do is what we commonly refer to as “selling pick axes to the miners”, and collect a hefty fee for providing such services as Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment provides engineering, construction, installation and project management services to offshore oil and gas field developments worldwide. Secondly, they double by being called in to repair any and all offshore oil and gas infrastructure problems, will go anywhere in the world, will take virtually any job for the right price, and trust me, they charge a fortune to mobilize and just to get their equipment on site, let alone start the daily billing for equipment, labor and insurance and other overhead, plus a health profit margin. Thirdly and most importantly, near and dear to everyone at the current time, they clean up, cap, and repair deep sea pipelines, flanges, and wellheads.

So if we use a home contractor example, one can look at J. Ray McDermott as the Builder/Contractor, interior trade worker who installs the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, among other furnishings, and is also the Contractor that is called in to clean up fire and water damage. They have been doing this since the 1960’s, and are arguably the best in the business and as I said, will take virtually any job, anywhere in the world, as long as the Client is willing to pay the mobilization charges J.Ray charges, which the client always does, given the limited nature of competition in the sector.



Now, let’s look at B&W and what value they deliver to shareholders. They design, engineer, manufacture, and construct power generation systems, primarily for large utility and industrial customers, as well as related aftermarket parts, services and environmental control systems and their largest customer is the “U.S. Government”. Given the stability and lucrative nature of servicing the current U.S. Nuclear power generation fleet of power plants, and government facilities, B&W can be looked at as an annuity for shareholders, much like some of the top Master Limited Partnerships in the Oil and Gas Sector, like Kinder Morgan. They are going to deliver a steady, healthy stream of cash flow to investors each year, and the cash flow is expected to grow, especially as the U.S. Government becomes more involved in the development of future nuclear technology to replace the aging U.S. Nuclear generation fleet of power plants and the aging nuclear powered fleet of submarines, aircraft carriers and cruisers for the U.S. Navy. B&W also services and cleans up coal plants by installing “scrubbers” among other technology to capture and reduce the carbon emissions, among other services, such as cleaning the boiler piping and tubing, inherent in both nuclear and coal fired power plants.



So where does this leave shareholder who own MDR before and after the spin-off of B&W into a separately traded company. MDR is currently priced near $25/share in the market. Just on a stand-alone basis, MDR should be valued somewhere in the $30-$35/share price range on a combined cash flow multiple (EBITDA multiple) and a discounted cash flow model valuation, given the companies virtual monopoly in its respective business lines.

Now, if we take the sum of the parts analysis, and put an 8-10X EBITDA multiple on projected operating income per company plus organic growth, you are looking at a $9 billion enterprise value ,which using the approximate outstanding shares of 230,000,000 shares, yields a value of $40/share.
Conclusion: Compared with the current stock price of $25/share, I view MDR as undervalued by 60% on a consolidated and a spin-off basis. MDR post spin-off should provide the equivalent of $40/share within 12-24 months to investors and based upon the current share price, up to a 60% return on invested capital.

Energy Stocks; Samson Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: SSN) (NYSE AMEX: SSN) Announces Share Placement and Share Purchase Plan to Raise up to A$8.4m

DENVER--(www.Investorideas.com energy newswire )--Samson Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: SSN) (NYSE AMEX: SSN) today announced that it has received binding commitments for a placement of 123,529,412 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of A$0.034 cents per share to raise A$4,200,000 before costs. Patersons Securities Limited (“Patersons”) acted as Lead Manager to the placement. The issue was heavily over subscribed during the book build process which was conducted during a trading halt in its ordinary shares on the Australian Securities Exchange and in its American Depositary Shares on the NYSE AMEX LLC.



Share Placement



The placement was made pursuant to Section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules.



Funds raised by the placement will be used to fund a drilling program on the Company's properties in the U.S. and to provide general working capital. The immediate Bakken drilling program will include three wells including the Gary #1-20H (SSN 37%) which is expected to spud on May 25th and will be followed by the Rodney #1-14H (SSN 26.3%) in August and the Earl #1-13H (SSN 31%) in September. In addition it is expected that the work over of the existing London Flats well and the drilling of the offset to that well will be undertaken in the next six months which will be the start of the evaluation of the company’s Niobrara acreage holding.



As part of the placement, the Company has received subscriptions for an offering in the United States of 1,966,400 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing 39,328,000 ordinary shares. Each ADS represents 20 ordinary shares. The purchase price is US$0.6365 per ADS, which includes a fee of US$0.0075 per ADS payable to the depositary. The ADSs issued in the U.S. were issued pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement dated April 30, 2010.



The ordinary shares and ADSs comprised in the placement will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares and ADSs.



The Australian share placement and U.S. offering do not require shareholder approval.



Share Purchase Plan



The Company also announces that it intends to offer a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) to all holders of the Company's ordinary shares. Shares will be offered to Australian resident shareholders at an issue price of A$0.034 each. Each shareholder as of the record date of May 18, 2010 will be entitled to subscribe for between 30,000 shares (for A$1,020) and 441,176 shares (for A$15,000) by selecting one of four prescribed tranches.



Concurrent with the SSP, the Company intends to pursue a rights offering in the U.S. which will enable its ADS holders to purchase additional ADSs at a price of $0.639 per ADS, which includes a fee of $0.01 per ADS payable to the depositary. Each holder of ADSs as of the record date of May 18, 2010, regardless of the number of ADSs held by such holder, will be entitled to purchase, by selecting one of four prescribed tranches, between 1,500 ADS (for US$958.50) and 22,058 ADS (for US$14,095.06).



Option or Warrant Holders



As part of its 2009 rights offering, the Company issued options and warrants which gave the holders the right to subscribe for either shares or ADS, depending on the holders' residency. In connection with the SPP and concurrent U.S. rights offering, holders of these securities will have 10 business days in which to convert the warrants or options so as to become a shareholder (or ADS holder) prior to the record date of May 18, 2010 and therefore be eligible to participate in the SPP or U.S. rights offering. If an option or warrant holder is already a shareholder, then the conversion or exercise would not be necessary to be eligible to participate in the SPP or U.S. rights offering. Holders of warrants in the U.S. who desire to exercise their warrants prior to the record date are urged to contact the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Robyn Lamont, no later than May 10, 2010 in order to ensure that the ADSs are issued pursuant to that exercise prior to the record date.



The expected timetable for the SPP and the U.S. rights offering is as follows:



Notice to optionholders and warrantholders of the SPP Monday, 3 May 2010

Record date under the SPP for existing shareholders Tuesday, 18 May 2010

Dispatch of SPP documentation to existing shareholders Wednesday, 19 May 2010

Opening date of SPP Thursday, 20 May 2010

Closing date of SPP Thursday, 10 June 2010

Allotment of SPP shares and dispatch of holding statements Wednesday, 16 June 2010



The SPP and U.S. rights offering will be conducted on the basis that the aggregate funds raised shall not exceed A$4.2 million (the “Authorized Maximum”). Accordingly, a maximum of 123,529,411 shares (or 6,176,470 ADSs) may be issued under the SPP and U.S. rights offering.



The Company reserves the right to increase the Authorized Maximum to a level not greater than 30% of the Company's ordinary shares already on issue. If applications for shares and ADSs under the SPP and concurrent U.S. rights offering exceed the Authorized Maximum, acceptances will be scaled back on a pro rata basis.



The SPP is to be underwritten by Patersons to the extent of A$2,000,000.



The Company has previously filed a shelf registration statement (including a base prospectus) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for the potential rights offering in the U.S. to which this communication relates. A prospectus supplement (together with the accompanying base prospectus, the “Prospectus”) will be filed on or about the commencement of the rights offering.



This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. When available, copies of the Prospectus relating to the ADSs may be obtained by contacting the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at 1726 Cole Blvd., Suite 210, Lakewood, Colorado 80401, or by email at robyn.lamont@samsonoilandgas.com. Shareholders and investors may also obtain the Prospectus and other documents filed by the Company in the U.S. for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

HENDERSON, Nev. – April 21, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) – Indigo-Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: IDGG) is pleased to announce today that is producing oil from its horizontal oil well, the "D-1," recently completed in the Illinois Basin. The well began flowing commercial grade oil about one week ago and is now consistently producing approximately 80 barrels per day.

In addition to the oil production, this well is also producing natural gas at a flow rate of approximately 200 MCFD (thousand cubic feet per day). Because of this additional production development, a new gas line has been run to the well site so the natural gas can be gathered and sold simultaneously with the oil, making the D-1 both a gas and oil producing well.

Q- Investorideas.com

What is MobileBits target market?



A- Mr. Walter Kostiuk, Founder & CEO of MobileBits



We believe there is a major shift in the way people access content on their mobile devices. It is very different than surfing the web at home or the office from your PC. It’s about immediacy and relevancy. Our product is geared to those who are not really researching information, but already know what they are looking for and just want to ask the question and receive the information in the fewest clicks.



Q- Investorideas.com



When will MobileBits launch officially?



A- Mr. Walter Kostiuk, Founder & CEO of MobileBits



We are continually connecting to content on the web with our process and expect to be releasing a Beta version in the near term on a wide variety of content. I encourage everyone to visit our website at www.mobilebits.com and sign up for the early Beta releases.

A- Mr. Walter Kostiuk, Founder & CEO of MobileBits



We know the shortest path to profitability is through automation and scalability. Our approach has the ability to disambiguate text and categorize questions.

A- Mr. Walter Kostiuk, Founder & CEO of MobileBits



The opportunity to deliver on intelligent search is a really big thing and the mobile economy is a major disruptor. I have invested the last five years of my career researching what I believe is a viable approach to deliver quick results to consumer questions and secured the best technology available. We have delivered on a successful enterprise proof of concept that has answered over 100M questions with a very high accuracy rate. Now we are pointing the system to strategic content sources on the web so we can answer as many questions as people ask. We don’t index the entire web and hope that something relevant comes back in the result; instead we take a vertical approach to horizontal content. The service will be free and we will monetize by associating highly targeted advertisements to consumer questions and interests around products, services, people, places and things. The mobile environment creates the opportunity for change and those companies that can deliver value across the internet, including mobile, will have the best chance at being successful.

Energy Stock Indigo-Energy (OTCBB: IDGG) Announces Oil Production in the Illinois Basin


HENDERSON, Nev. – April 21, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) – Indigo-Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: IDGG) is pleased to announce today that is producing oil from its horizontal oil well, the "D-1," recently completed in the Illinois Basin. The well began flowing commercial grade oil about one week ago and is now consistently producing approximately 80 barrels per day. The Company believes that continued adjustments to the well and down-hole pump may cause increased production in the coming weeks. In addition to the oil production, this well is also producing natural gas at a flow rate of approximately 200 MCFD (thousand cubic feet per day). Because of this additional production development, a new gas line has been run to the well site so the natural gas can be gathered and sold simultaneously with the oil, making the D-1 both a gas and oil producing well.


INDIGO's President and CEO Steve Durdin stated, "I am thrilled to be able to share this exciting news with our shareholders today. The oil production we are announcing today along with the stability of oil prices over the past several months represent the continued fulfillment of the business plan for INDIGO's shareholders and drilling partners. Even at current production levels the Company anticipates an ability to liquidate the remaining payables associated with the initial drilling as well as begin to return a substantial profit by the end of next quarter."


INDIGO is also pleased to announce that it has made significant progress in its efforts to clear all the hurdles to begin selling the natural gas from the three additional gas wells that were drilled and recently completed. A natural gas purchase agreement has been signed and the field gas samples submitted for quality testing have been completed and approved by the pipeline company. These procedures are in addition to other steps completed over the past two months including the completion of state regulatory inspections and the replacement of production hardware at the pipeline tap. In the coming days INDIGO will make some additional adjustments to the down-hole pump located in the vertical connector gas well, the "Hub," and anticipates flowing gas into the pipeline system shortly. As was announced at the end of March the company and its operating partners have already flared millions of cubic feet of natural gas during the testing and preproduction stage of this project and are eager to clear the last requirements to begin sales.


Drdin concluded, "As we make final adjustments in our natural gas production efforts we will continue to fulfill every step necessary to ensure maximum sustainable production and I believe we are very close to that point." Durdin added finally that, "We expect completion of these final steps and getting into production on the Hub well within the next two to three weeks."

Energy Stocks; Atlas Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATLS ) Announces $1.7 Billion Marcellus Shale Joint Venture with Reliance Industries



Atlas Management to Host Conference Call at 9AM ET on Monday, April 12th to Discuss the Joint Venture Transaction


PITTSBURGH--(www.Investorideas.com energy newswire)--Atlas Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATLS ) (“Atlas” or “the Company”) announces today its entry into a joint venture transaction with a wholly owned affiliate of Reliance Industries Limited (“Reliance”), the largest private sector company in India and a global energy leader, pursuant to which Atlas will transfer an interest in its Marcellus Shale position equal to 120,000 net acres in a transaction valued at $1.7 billion. Reliance will pay approximately $340 million in cash upon closing and an additional $1.36 billion in the form of a drilling carry. Atlas will serve as the development operator for the joint venture. Reliance will have the option to operate in certain project areas in the coming years outside of Atlas’ core operating areas of Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Pursuant to the agreement, Reliance will acquire a 40% undivided interest in approximately 300,000 net acres (120,000 net to Reliance) of undeveloped leasehold held by Atlas, and Atlas will retain a 60% undivided interest in the acreage. In addition to funding its own 40% of drilling obligations, Reliance has agreed to fund 75% of Atlas’ respective portion of drilling and completion costs until the $1.36 billion drilling carry is fully utilized. Atlas has 5-1/2 years to utilize the drilling carry, subject to a two-year extension under certain conditions. Atlas and Reliance have agreed upon a five-year development plan that calls for the drilling of 45 horizontal Marcellus Shale wells for the joint venture during the remainder of 2010, increasing to 108 wells in 2011, 178 wells in 2012, and 300 wells in 2013 and 2014.


Atlas will act as the sole leasing agent for the joint venture in the area of mutual interest (“AMI”). In the near future, Atlas and Reliance expect to considerably grow the joint venture’s Marcellus Shale leasehold position within the AMI. Reliance will have the option to acquire a 40% share of such new acreage under terms comparable to those agreed to by Atlas, with each party paying its proportionate share of acquisition costs. In addition, if Atlas decides to sell all or part of the 280,000 additional Appalachian acres currently controlled by it, but excluded from the joint venture and not included in the AMI, Atlas has granted Reliance a right to purchase such acreage at a price of $8,000 per acre. Reliance also receives a right of first offer with respect to potential future sales of this acreage by Atlas at lower prices. This acreage is located predominantly in Mercer, Crawford, and other Pennsylvania counties not currently included in Atlas’ core Marcellus area of southwestern Pennsylvania.



“We are excited by this opportunity to partner with Reliance, one of the world’s largest vertically integrated energy companies, and one that has demonstrated exceptional capability in all aspects of the energy business. We believe that this joint venture will greatly increase the value of Atlas’ business,” commented Edward E. Cohen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Energy. “This transaction will enable us to accelerate sharply our development of the Marcellus while further reducing our already low finding and development costs and our capital structure will immediately benefit from reduced leverage and enhanced liquidity. As a result of this joint venture, we anticipate creating a significant number of new, well-paying Pennsylvania jobs. Pennsylvania will also benefit from our strong commitment to the highest environmental and safety standards."

Reliance Industries Limited, an India-based industrial enterprise, is one of the largest refiners and petrochemical producers in the world. Its recent market capitalization was over $78 billion and Reliance currently produces almost 3 Bcfe per day of oil & gas production from their E&P operations.

The purchase and sale is subject to certain closing conditions, including the consent of participating lenders under Atlas’ senior secured credit facility. The transaction is expected to close in April 2010.


Jefferies & Company, Inc. acted as lead financial advisor and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. acted as financial advisor to Atlas Energy on the joint venture transaction. Jones Day, Ledgewood and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acted as legal counsel to Atlas Energy.

Interested parties are invited to access the live webcast of an investor call with Atlas Energy’s management regarding the joint venture transaction on Monday, April 12, 2010 at 9:00 am ET by going to the Investor Relations section of Atlas Energy’s website at www.atlasenergy.com. For those unavailable to listen to the live broadcast, the replay of the webcast will be available following the live call on the Atlas Energy website and telephonically beginning at 11:00 am ET on April 12, 2010 by dialing 888-286-8010, passcode: 93641727.



Atlas Energy, Inc. is one of the largest independent natural gas producers in the Appalachia and Michigan Basins and a leading producer in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. Atlas Energy, Inc. is also the country’s largest sponsor and manager of tax-advantaged energy investment partnerships. Atlas Energy, Inc. also owns 1.1 million common units in Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: APL - News) and a 64% interest in Atlas Pipeline Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: AHD - News), a limited partnership which owns the general partner interest of APL.

Karl Miller : “EU, House of Cards Economically”

Energy Investing News; Energy Commentary from Karl Miller

Delta B.C., April 8, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading investor research portal updates investors with recent commentary from regular contributor, energy executive, Karl Miller.

As oil prices decline for the second day, and markets pull back on Greece debt concerns, Mr. Miller notes: "The European Union continues to be a house of cards economically with a very weak economic foundation being further eroded by Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Expect more fiscal problems to be uncovered which will further degrade the Euro, drive global interest rates up, an force capital to pull back across the board."

Yesterday’s column excerpt –

Take Profits Across the Board in the Energy Sector
Upon further analysis, Mr. Miller is moving from a "hold rating" to actively taking profits across his entire energy portfolio based upon his personal opinion that the equity markets have gotten well ahead of all logical fundamentals, looming residential and commercial debt write downs in the billions of US Dollars, and absolute rising interest rates in the ten to 30 year range ahead for the US Government Debt. The cost of borrowing is going to rise in for the US Government sooner rather than later, and this will take fiscal policy matters out of the hand of the US Federal Reserve and place them in the hands of the institutional market investors. This will also force additional friction with Euro and with the China devaluation is still in question, more uncertainty.

Full article- http://www.investorideas.com/Companies/NaturalGas/Karl_Miller/news/4071.asp

Mr. Miller is acclaimed for multiple ground breaking market calls and investments, including the U.K switching from a net gas exporter to a net gas importer in 2000, called the California energy crisis in 2001, called the Ethanol and Bio diesel boom and bust in 2007, called the renewable energy boom and bust cycle underway in 2008, and most recently called the revival of natural gas in the United States in 2009.

Mr. Miller is a globally recognized energy executive and institutional investor with a balance of both financial and energy sector expertise. Mr. Miller began his career on Wall Street during the 1980s and has an extensive background in banking, commodities trading and risk management.

Mr. Miller has a long history in the global energy business and has held a variety of executive management positions both within the United States, Europe and Asia. Mr. Miller has bid on over $25 billion in energy related assets during his career.

Mr. Miller has built, restructured and managed energy businesses for major public energy companies on several continents, including PG&E Corporation, Electricite de France, El Paso Energy, Enron Corporation and JPMorgan Chase.

Biotech Stock News ; ARCA biopharma (Nasdaq: ABIO ) Announces Patent Issued for Treating Heart Failure Patients with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Testing


Revised Request for FDA Special Protocol Assessment for GencaroTM Development in Genotype-defined Heart Failure Population Submitted

BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(INVESTORIDEAS.COM NEWSWIRE)--ARCA biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABIO ), a biopharmaceutical company developing genetically targeted therapies for heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a patent on methods of treating heart failure patients with bucindolol based on genetic testing. The patent (USP# 7,678,824) entitled “Methods for Treatment with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Targeting,” provides protection in the United States for this novel approach to treating patients with heart failure, one of the largest health care problems in the United States and the rest of the world. ARCA had previously announced the notice of allowance of this patent. Industry sources estimate that approximately 5.7 million Americans have heart failure and nearly 670,000 new patients are diagnosed annually. In addition, heart failure is the underlying reason for approximately 12 to 15 million annual visits to physicians, 6.5 million annual hospital days and over $37 billion in direct and indirect healthcare costs in the United States.



“We are obviously pleased with the USPTO’s issuance of this patent which we believe will extend our pharmacogenetic intellectual property protection around bucindolol and, if approved for marketing, provide Gencaro market exclusivity into 2025,” said Michael R. Bristow, President and Chief Executive Officer of ARCA. “Chronic heart failure continues to be a major health care problem, and among the challenges to improving care is the uncertainty of patient responses to drug treatment. We believe that a new heart failure therapy that includes a simple test to identify a substantial subpopulation of patients more likely to benefit has the potential to help alleviate some of the problems encountered with the current standard of practice.”



On March 25, 2010, ARCA submitted a revised clinical study protocol for review under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process for the design of a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of Gencaro in approximately 3,200 patients with chronic heart failure who have the genotype that appears to respond most favorably to Gencaro. An SPA is an agreement with the FDA that the proposed trial protocol design, clinical endpoints and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval. Any proposed trial protocol must be reviewed and agreed upon with the FDA and the final trial protocol may be significantly different from the Company’s SPA submission. If ARCA obtains sufficient funding and FDA approval of the SPA, ARCA currently expects it could begin the proposed clinical trial approximately one year after such funding and approval. The FDA has previously designated as a Fast Track development program the investigation of Gencaro for the reduction of cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations in a genotype-defined heart failure population.



About GencaroTM



GencaroTM (bucindolol hydrochloride) is a pharmacologically unique beta-blocker and mild vasodilator being developed for the treatment of chronic heart failure (HF). Gencaro is an oral tablet formulation, dosed twice daily. Gencaro is considered part of the beta-blocker class because of its property of blocking beta-1 as well as beta-2 receptors in the heart, preventing these receptors from binding with other molecules that would otherwise activate the receptor. Because of its mild vasodilator effects, the Company believes Gencaro is well-tolerated in patients with advanced HF.



About ARCA biopharma



ARCA biopharma is dedicated to developing genetically-targeted therapies for heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. The Company's lead product candidate, GencaroTM (bucindolol hydrochloride), is an investigational, pharmacologically unique beta-blocker and mild vasodilator being developed for heart failure. ARCA has identified common genetic variations that it believes predict individual patient response to Gencaro, giving it the potential to be the first genetically-targeted heart failure treatment. ARCA is collaborating with Laboratory Corporation of America to develop the companion genetic test for Gencaro.

Safe Harbor Statement





This press release contains "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the issuance of, and protection provided by, U.S. Patent 7,678,824 entitled “Methods for Treatment with Bucindolol Based on Genetic Targeting” and statements regarding the timing and outcome of the Company’s SPA submission; regulatory review and potential approval of the Company’s New Drug Application for Gencaro; the prospects for ARCA’s providing sufficient information in a timely manner as requested in the FDA’s Complete Response Letter; and the Company’s ability to fund future operations. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties associated with: the Company's financial resources and whether they will be sufficient to meet the Company's business objectives and operational requirements; the protection and market exclusivity provided by the Company’s intellectual property; risks related to the drug discovery and the regulatory approval process; and, the impact of competitive products and technological changes. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in ARCA’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent filings. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
