Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) CEO Note: Cancer Treatment Discovery, Exosomes Transport Pharmaceutical Industry Targets

SAN DIEGO - May 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), today released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce

Investorideas.com Newswire The discovery that our Hemopurifer® captures tumor-secreted exosomes provides hope for a new therapeutic paradigm to augment cancer care. Yes, the same Hemopurifier® we are preparing to advance in a forthcoming FDA approved infectious disease study. In my last CEO note, I referenced a National Institute of Health (NIH) – National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored article that referenced Hemopurifier® therapy as a candidate to address tumor-secreted exosomes.
The article detailed several exosomal mechanisms that promote cancer progression, including suppression of the immune system, triggering resistance to cancer therapies, promotion of angiogenesis and seeding the spread of metastasis. The article also indicated that high levels of circulating exosomes correlated with advanced stage cancer.
As researchers continue to unravel the deleterious mechanisms of exosomes underlying cancer, it has become clear that these particles also transport many molecular targets of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Thus providing further support for a medical device that is able to target circulating exosomes without adding drug toxicity to established cancer therapies.
In this regard, I am pleased to share the following overview authored by Dr. Annette Marleau (our Director of Tumor Immunology), which outlines oncology targets of the pharmaceutical industry that have been reported to be transported by exosomes.
Therapeutic Elimination of Cancer Exosomes: Delivery Vehicles For A Spectrum of Pharmaceutical Industry Targets
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class extracorporeal hemofiltration device with the ability to capture and retain disease-mediating particles from the entire circulatory system. Utilizing existing hemodialysis infrastructure, Hemopurifier® cartridges are packed with a carbohydrate-binding protein known as GNA, which has a unique affinity for glycosylated particles that are typically released in large quantities by diseased cells.
Among the disease targets that can be addressed by Hemopurifier® therapy are exosomes (also sometimes referred to as extracellular vesicles or microvesicles). Previously thought to represent unwanted cellular debris, an explosion of research has now proven that exosomes serve as primary transportation systems between the body's cells. In disease conditions such as cancer, pathogenic material from diseased cells is packaged into exosomes and released into circulation, thereby unleashing the cancer's arsenal of malignant signals throughout the body. In recent years, the scientific community has identified a complement of disease-causing proteins and genes carried in the exosomal cargo, the tumor's essential blueprint. Exosomes are thus major purveyors of aggressive cancer phenotypes, able to provide the comprehensive array of mediators for tumor growth and metastasis, drug resistance, immune suppression, and angiogenesis.
Drawing from the surplus of possible targets in cancer therapeutics, pharmaceutical companies are vying in a race for clinical enhancement and commercialization of a plethora of drug candidates, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed at specific mediators of malignancy. We envision that addressing exosomes therapeutically could serve as a strategy for dealing with many of these disease targets simultaneously. Indeed, an analysis of the drug targets being pursued by the pharmaceutical industry reveals that many of these targets are actually transported by cancer exosomes during the disease process. Included in the pipeline of promising oncology drugs are immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (also known as PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1, B7-H1), a molecular pathway triggered by exosomes that contributes to muted anti-cancer responses. As underscored by the list that follows, the drug targets present in exosomes encompass the breadth of molecular pathways that are exploited by tumors to escape immune surveillance and hijack host tissues, including CTLA-4, HGF/met, FGF, b-Raf, EGFR, HER2, CD20, P-glycoprotein, and VEGF/VEGFR.

Although this list of pharmaceutical targets and drugs is by no means all-inclusive, it highlights the broad scope of cancer's cellular pathways that can be addressed individually or in combination. While small molecule therapies are widely used against cancer, complicating factors include the development of resistance and debilitating side effects in response to these agents. Given that cancer exosomes have been reported to transport these pharmaceutical targets, therapeutic hemofiltration of exosomes offers significant clinical potential, whereby the tumor's complement of disease-mediating particles can be diminished simultaneously without additive drug toxicities or interaction risks to the patient.

Stevia / LOHAS Stock Alert: GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) Announces First Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Vancouver, B.C. - May 13, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) ("GLG" or the "Company"), a vertically-integrated leader in the agricultural and commercial development of high-quality stevia and other natural sweeteners, announces financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

2014 FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
New sales strategy delivers Top Line Sales Growth
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $4.7 million, an increase of 44% compared to $3.2 million in stevia-related revenue for the same period last year. We achieved this increase primarily by pursuing sales of higher purity stevia extracts to international customers that generate monthly recurring revenues. This focus was consistent with our strategy of moving away from sales of lower purity stevia extract sales to other China-based stevia providers, in favor of international sales of our higher purity products. As a result, international sales contributed to 48% of Q1 2014 revenues, compared to only 23% in the first quarter 2013, and international sales more than doubled year over year.
Other sales growth initiatives in 2014 include the introduction of the Company's second zero calorie natural sweetener -- Luo Han Guo or "Monkfruit" -- and the sale of other natural ingredients complementary to stevia (our GLG Naturals+ line of products). There were no sales of Luo Han Guo or GLG Naturals+ products in the first quarter 2014; however, Luo Han Guo production is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2014, following the next harvest, and sales of GLG Naturals+ ingredients are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2014. Additionally, the Company recently announced its launch of a new line of stevia sweeteners -- organipureTM. Along with the clean finish and rounded sweetness of our usual high-quality GLG stevia extracts, the organipureTM products carry organic certifications recognized in both North America and Europe.
Cash-based SG&A expenses flat in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013
Cash based selling, general and administration expenses were flat at $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the comparable period in 2013.
Non-cash-based SG&A expenses up in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013
Non-cash-based selling, general and administration expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization charges increased to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $0.3 million in 2013.
Other expenses were up in the first quarter of 2014 due to appreciation of US Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar
Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $2.4 million, a $0.9 million or 59% increase compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2013. Other expense increases are driven by the appreciation of the USD against the Canadian dollar during the quarter, which drove a net increase on foreign exchange losses between the two periods of $0.8 million.
33% increase in net loss in Q1 2014 driven primarily by appreciation of US Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss attributable to the Company of $5.0 million compared to a net loss of $3.7 million for same period in 2013.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Gross Profit (Loss) before capacity charges
This non-GAAP financial measure shows the gross profit (loss) before the impact of idle capacity charges are reflected on the gross profit margin. GLG had only 50% of its production facilities in operation in the first quarter of 2014 and idle capacity charges have a material impact on the gross profit (loss) line in the financial statements.
Gross Profit (Loss) before capacity charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $0.9 million or 19% of first quarter revenues, compared to $1.1 million or 33% of first quarter revenues for the same period in 2013.
Improvement in Earnings before Interest Taxes and Depreciation ("EBITDA") and EBITDA Margin achieved in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2013
EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was negative $1.3 million or negative 28% of revenues, compared to negative $1.2 million or negative 37% of revenues for the same period in 2013.
Financial Resources
Investorideas.com Newswire The Company decreased its cash position by $1.7 million as at March 31, 2014, from the start of the year. The Company has a working capital deficit of $33.6 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to a working capital deficit of $29.4 million for the period ending December 31, 2013. The negative working capital has been driven by the total of $46.5 million of inventory impairment charges recognized since the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company has pursued the following actions to manage this situation since 2013. The Company has reduced short-term by loans refinancing with longer term debt from banks and through loans from its Chairman. The Company has also reduced accounts payable and negotiated with its creditors on extended payment terms.
Results from Operations
The following results from operations have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for 2013 and the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.
Investorideas.com Newswire For further information of the Company's financial performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, please see the Company's interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Sales Outlook
The Company plans to focus on four key components to expand its sales in 2014.
1. Continued focus on increasing its international customers of high-purity stevia extracts.
2. Focus on developing Chinese market through its partnership with COFCO.
The Company currently has a number of formulation projects underway with COFCO NHRI and a number of COFCO's key subsidiaries.
3. Expansion of natural sweetener product line to include Luo Han Guo ("LHG") (Chinese Monk Fruit) in 2014.
The Company is currently working with key customers for LHG and expects to be in production in the fourth quarter of 2014, after the harvest of its first fruit. The Company continues to prepare all aspects of its operations for the formal launch of its production including agriculture, regulatory filings and production preparation. The Company plans on utilizing its currently idle plants to produce Luo Han Guo.
4. Sales of other complimentary natural ingredients through its GLG Naturals+ product line in 2014.
The Company is currently quoting a number of these products to existing and new potential customers and expects this product-line to be generating revenues in 2014.
Agriculture Outlook
The Company has arranged planting of its H3 Leaf in China in 2014. Analysis of its H3 and H4 leaf compared to other competitors' leaf available in China clearly shows GLG's lead in providing a seed that generates a significant amount of steviol glycosides in the leaf (13 to 15% range), a high percentage of Rebaudioside A (65 to 70% range) and a larger weight per acre planted than any other varieties available in China. The weight per acre is a key metric of interest to farmers in China who are evaluating whether to grow our stevia leaf versus other alternative crops or competing stevia seedlings.
The Company is also pleased to report on the success of its non-GMO hybrid breeding program which has resulted in a number of new strains that it plans to develop, which have individual advantages such as:
  • higher amounts of total steviol glycosides and higher amounts of Rebaudioside A.
  • higher amounts of targeted glycosides such as Rebaudioside C, Rebaudioside D and Rebaudioside M. The Company has seen some new seedling varieties with double to triple the amount of these strategic glycosides.
  • The Company will continue on to the next step to bring these proprietary seedlings to the next stage of development and expects availability for planting within the next 3 to 5 years.
The Company is of the view that the Consumer's preference will always be "naturally sourced from a stevia leaf" glycosides compared to those originating from a different process such as fermentation.

3D Printing News Alert: Vancouver Based 3DPrinting Company Tinkerine (TSX.V: TTD) Launches New Consumer DittoPro 3D Printer

Vancouver, BC, New York, NY - May 7, 2014 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including 3D printing technology, reports on the recent launch event held by Tinkerine Studios Ltd. (TSX.V:TTD).

On May 1 st, 2014, the Company launched its DittoPro 3D Printer, calling it the industry's first affordable 'prosumer' (the market segment that offers professional-grade equipment at a consumer level price) 3D printer.
"The prosumer market is demanding a 3D printer that features quiet operation along with high speed, high resolution and massive build volume. DittoPro delivers on all of these, packaged in an elegant design that owners will be proud to have on display," said Eugene Suyu, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tinkerine Studios.
The event was attended by many interested Vancouver-area techies and business people, who are excited about a new product that is about to change the industry, not just in how the DittoPro works, but also in how it is being marketed.
The 3D printing industry is the fastest growing technology sector and it is a considered disruptive technology. Wohlers Associates, a rapid product development consulting firm, predicts a strong double-digit growth in the 3D printing industry over the next several years. In four years, Wohlers Associates believes that the sale of 3D printing products and services will approach $6 billion worldwide. By 2021, Wohlers Associates forecasts the industry to reach $10.8 billion. Research from Gartner Group, Juniper Research, RBC and Credit Suisse all have similarly impressive growth estimates.
In just over a year Tinkerine has developed a 3D printer which has advanced from one that required assembly and a more sophisticated user, to one that is fully assembled, sleek, user-friendly and designed for the curious consumer who wants to get into 3D printing but may not be tech savvy.
The most curious minds, and the ones that are increasingly enamored with all things tech, are today's students. Currently, there are about 113,000 K to 12 schools in Canada and the US with about 60.7 million students and about 21 million students enrolled in over 4,600 post-secondary and higher-learning intuitions in North America. Therefore, the company's marketing team would like to see the DittoPro being utilized in schools everywhere. So, Tinkerine is starting an education initiative named Tinkerine U which will provide educational content, materials and 3D models for both the teachers and the students to enable and streamline learning with a 3D printer.
Imagine students having the ability to physically create what they had previously only been able to dream, think, and draw or print off a replica of a sharks jaw, DNA molecule chain or represntation of an algebra expression. A whole new generation of tomorrow's entrepreneurs and inventors are ready and waiting to take the next step – and the DittoPro would be the means of accomplishing that.
“We believe everyone can be a designer, and should have the ability to easily create whatever they want, whenever they want" says Tinkerine CEO, Eugene Suyu.
“Once the students and teachers are exposed to 3D printing, they can be imaginative and explore the capabilities of 3D printing in depth….just imagine them having the ability to easily create whatever they want, whenever they want" added Suyu.
The Company manufactures 70% of the product right in Vancouver, making it a local enterprise.
The retail price for DittoPro 3D Printer is $1,999 CAD ($1,899 USD) fully assembled. The Company expects begin to ship its product at the end of May.
