Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX), Discusses the Future of LibiGel® Following Closing of $48 Million Offering

Point Roberts, WA, LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill - August 8, 2011 - (Investorideas.com newswire.com) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal covering leading sectors including biotech and pharma stocks, features an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BPAX), following the announcement of the closing of a $48.0 Million public offering.

BioSante plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel� for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is in development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes, following the closing of the $48 Million offering, you report use of proceeds will include ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel® for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). How far will this take you into the study and what does this mean for investor confidence in taking this product to market?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The proceeds of the $48 million underwritten financing together with the cash we had before the transaction results in almost $80 million in cash. This cash balance is sufficient to fund the LibiGel program and BioSante through our anticipated LibiGel new drug application (NDA) submission by the end of 2012, and in fact all the way through a potential FDA approval which could come in mid-2013. This long runway was one of the key reasons for executing the transaction at this time. Another reason for executing the transaction at this time was so that in the fourth quarter of this year when we announce LibiGel efficacy data investors can concentrate on the quality of the data versus being concerned that we would need to raise money.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes can you tell investors what it means to BioSante to have some of the top names in Healthcare Banking, such as Jefferies backing the financing for your company to pave your way for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We are happy to have had Jefferies as the lead banker on this important and well executed BioSante financing. This is our first underwritten transaction, our first financing without issuing warrants and the largest single financing we have ever executed. The institutional investors in this transaction include new and existing stockholders of BioSante, most of which concentrate in biotech/pharma investing. All of these factors are important indicators of investor confidence in BioSante.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes besides funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel how else will BioSante use their funding proceeds?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The vast majority of BioSante spending over the last few years has been and will continue to be funding the LibiGel Phase III clinical development program. This has been a long-term commitment of BioSante, and we believe represents a major upside for our stockholders and the women of the United States. A full 13 years after Viagra was approved for men in the United States there still is no pharmaceutical product approved by the FDA for women's sexual health. LibiGel is the only product in the world in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder, a significant unmet medical need.
About BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
BioSante is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for female sexual health and oncology. BioSante's lead products include LibiGel ® (transdermal testosterone gel) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) which is in Phase III clinical development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). BioSante's first FDA-approved product is Elestrin™ (estradiol gel) indicated for the treatment of hot flashes associated with menopause, marketed in the U.S. by Azur Pharma, BioSante's licensee. BioSante also is developing a portfolio of cancer vaccines, four of which have been granted Orphan Drug designation, and are currently in several Phase II clinical trials. Other BioSante products are Bio-T-Gel™, a testosterone gel for male hypogonadism, for which an NDA is pending, licensed to Teva Pharmaceuticals, and an oral contraceptive in Phase II clinical development using BioSante patented technology.

turbines.”

RFID Stock; ZST Digital Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZSTN) Announces Second Quarter 2011 Results

ZHENGZHOU, China - August 3, 2011 (Investorideas.com RFID stocks newswire) � ZST Digital Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZSTN) (the "Company" or "ZST"), a major developer, manufacturer and supplier of digital and optical network equipment to cable system operators and provider of GPS tracking devices and support services for transport-related enterprises in China, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 (unaudited) Financial Highlights

• Total revenue was US$41.4 million, an increase of 25% compared to the second quarter of 2010.
• Gross profit for the second quarter 2011 was US$10.2 million, an increase of 24% compared to the second quarter 2010.
• Gross profit margin for the second quarter 2011 was 24.7%, compared to 25.0% for the second quarter of 2010.
• Operating income for the second quarter 2011 was US$8.8 million, an increase of22% compared to the second quarter of 2010.
• Net income for the second quarter 2011 was US$6.4 million, an increase of 22% compared to the second quarter of 2010.
• Net income margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 15.4%, compared to 15.7% for the second quarter of 2010.

Recent Business Highlights

• On June 8, 2011, the Company announced that it signed a Letter of Intent with EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. ("EarthSearch"), a subsidiary of East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTC.BB:ECDC) as the basis for further discussion regarding the terms and conditions that may apply in a formal agreement to be executed between both parties in the future. Under any such formal agreement, ZST Digital would be granted Chinese distribution and marketing rights to EarthSearch'sLogiboxx product, a proprietary technology for integrated wireless communication between GPS and RFID, and ZST would provide technical and administrative support for the product in China.
• On June 20, 2011, the Company announced that it filed a patent application with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) to ensure intellectual property protection for its Assisted GPS technology. Assisted GPS, or A-GPS, is a technology used to improve the performance of traditional standalone GPS tracking systems which rely solely on radio signals from satellites and can be impacted by poor signal conditions in certain environments, for example in dense urban areas. Without requiring any additional hardware, ZST Digital's A-GPS system can make use of the GSM modules and location based service (LBS) capabilities of customers' existing mobile phone equipment, in conjunction with additional software, to introduce LBS capabilities to the GPS system, forming a dual-positioning mode.
• On July 12, 2011, the Company reported that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Zhong Bo was named a "Zhengzhou City Outstanding Entrepreneur" in a ceremony held by the Zhengzhou Association of Enterprises and the Zhengzhou Entrepreneurs Association.

Mr. ZhongBo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZST, commented, "We delivered another quarter of healthy top- and bottom-line growth supported by strong sales of our commercial GPS fleet management products and services and continued expansion of our cable TV related businesses. Sales revenue from our IPTV, cable TV network equipment and commercial GPS fleet management tracking segments accounted for approximately 39%, 32% and 29% of total revenues, respectively. We continue to benefit from government regulations which are spurring demand within our end markets, especially for commercial GPS fleet management products and services. We expect these positive trends to continue to support the growth of our commercial GPS-related business segment in the second half of the year, and we remain confident in our ability to reach our full year guidance. As we enter the second half, we will continue to focus on delivering profitable growth, maintaining the highest standards of transparency and disclosure and increasing shareholder value."
Mr. Henry Ngan, Chief Financial Officer of ZST, commented, "We delivered a strong financial performance in the second quarter with year-over-year revenue increases across all three of our product segments. We believe that the underlying demand for our products and services remains healthy, and we are especially pleased with the rapid growth of our commercial GPS segment. While gross profit margin declined slightly in the quarter due to the change in sales mix of our IPTV products, we nevertheless maintained a healthy profit margin level thanks to the high-margin profile of our commercial GPS products and services. We further strengthened our balance sheet in the second quarter, and we believe that we are well-positioned to fund our continued growth. We enter the second half of the year on a strong footing and maintain our commitment to increasing long-term shareholder value."
Second Quarter 2011 (unaudited) Financial Highlights
Revenue
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was US$41.4 million, representing an increase of 25% from US$33.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The primary reason for the increase in revenue during the quarter was strong growth in the commercial GPS-related business line. Revenue from sales of GPS devices and related service amounted to $12.1 million, representing an increase of 102% year-over-year, supported by the growing market demand for commercial GPS fleet management systems in response to government regulations requiring the registration of certain types of commercial vehicles on GPS platforms for government monitoring purposes. For the second quarter, the cable TV-related business and the commercial GPS-related business accounted for approximately 71% and 29% of total revenue, respectively, compared to 82% and 18% for the comparable period in 2010.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 was US$10.2 million, representing a 24% year-over-year increase. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 24.7%, essentially flat compared to25% in the second quarter of 2010.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were US$1.4 million, representing an increase of 39% from US$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.This increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of the higher volume of business activities generated.
Selling expenses for the second quarter 2011 were US$203,000, an increase of 86% from US$109,000 for the second quarter of 2010. Selling expenses comprise mainly salaries, shipping costs, and after-sale service expenses. Since our suppliers cover most of the shipping costs, we have not incurred high selling expense relative to our substantial increase in revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expenses accounted for 0.5% and 0.3% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and development expenses (R&D) for the second quarter 2011 were US$167,000, an increase of 76% compared to US$95,000 for the second quarter of 2010. The increase resulted from the continued focus on the commercial GPS tracking business as we continued to expand the overall scope of the segment. As a percentage to total revenue, R&D expense accounted for 0.4% and 0.3% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
General and administrative expenses (G&A) for the second quarter 2011 were US$1.1 million, up 28% from US$0.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. The rise in G&A expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in salary expenses and stock-based compensation. As a percentage to total revenue, G&A expenses accounted for 2.6% and 2.5% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was US$8.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 representing an increase of 22% compared to operating income of US$7.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Income Tax
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2011 was US$2.5 million, compared to approximately US$2.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was mainly due to an increase in taxable income.
Net Income and EPS
Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was US$6.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 22% from US$5.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net margin was 15.4% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to15.7% in the second quarter of 2010.
Diluted net income per share was US$0.55 in the second quarter 2011, compared to US$0.45 for the second quarter of 2010, based on weighted-average common shares outstanding of 11,613,730 and 11,650,442, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents totaled to US$50.2 million as of June 30, 2011, compared to US$40.2 million as of March 31, 2011, primarily attributable to cash generated from operations.
As of June 30, 2011, total accounts receivables were US$27.8 million, an increase of 31% from US$21.3million as of March 31, 2011, primarily due to a higher volume of business generated.
Full Year 2011 Outlook - For the full year 2011, the Company reiterates its estimates that revenues will range between US$160 million and US$175 million, and net income will range between US$28 million and US$30 million. This represents the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Mining and Gold Stocks News; Lomiko (TSX-V: LMR; OTC: LMRMF) Adds another 3,684 Ha to Vines Lake Property

Vancouver, BC - August 3, 2011 (Investorideas.com mining stocks newswire) � LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX-V:LMR, OTC: LMRMF, Europe: ISIN: CA54163Q1028, WKN: A0Q9W7) has staked an additional 3,684 Ha directly south of the Vines Lake claims. Lomiko now holds the rights to mineral tenures totaling 5,267 Ha located in the southwestern corner of the Cassiar District or 'Cassiar Camp'.

Due to the property's close proximity to formerly producing mines with a proven history in the Cassiar Mining Camp, it is the opinion of the Company that potential exists on the 100% owned Vines Lake Property for discovering new high-grade gold vein systems. Also, there is a potential for other intrusion related mineralization in proximity to the Cassiar Batholith and its associated boundary contacts, over which Lomiko's Vines Lake property claims are located.
Cassiar Area Highlights:

• A new company with Chinese investors known as China Minerals Mining Corporation is located adjacent to the property.
• A fully permitted 270 tonne per day, gravity and flotation mill, power plant, assay laboratory and tailings impoundment facility is owned by China Minerals.
• Approximately 316,000 ounces of gold have been produced at the adjacent Table Mountain Mine from 1979-2007 under various companies.
• Current Resource Estimates for the Table Mountain Mine are 21,471 tonnes grading 18.02 g/t indicated and 65,757 tonnes grading 24.3 g/t inferred were reported at the adjacent property in the May, 2010 NI43-101 Technical Report on the Table Mountain Property by C. Pearson and F.J. Bakker.

Vines Lake Highlights:

• Two significant anomalies have been identified by geophysical surveys. The claims cover formations of the Sylvester group, which are known to contain productive zones of gold mineralization in the area.
• The Vines Lake Property is located approximately two kilometres southwest of the former Erickson gold mine.
• Highway 37 N bisects the property north to south providing excellent year-round access.
