Gold and Mining Stock News Alert; (TSX-V: RUN), (TSX: LSG), (TSX: AVR), (TSX: CPN)
Point Roberts WA- March 22, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining Newswire) –
www.Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including mining stocks, releases a sector
snapshot on TSX gold stocks , in addition to commentary on the gold markets.
Regular contributor , John Nadler from Kitco.com reports, “Tuesday's trading action opened
under somewhat more subdued conditions as a slight easing in the level of apprehensions
surrounding Japan and the MENA region induced global investors to seek profits in equity and
risk markets just a tad more. Dollar selling did not abate too much however, as the US currency
scraped the 75.28 level on the index and as it neared the "outer markers" of its trading channel
against the euro, at 1.424, while trading at 80.925 vis a vis the Japanese yen.”

Market Summary for Commodities (at time of release)
Oil 103.80 +1.47 +1.44%
Gold 1,426.20 0.00 0.00%
A more bullish outlook was reported at Marketwatch.com
Gold futures turned edged higher Tuesday morning, rebounding from an earlier decline
with the metal poised to extend its winning streak to five sessions.
A stronger yen helped lure investors to the gold market, according to one strategist.
“We see no fundamental reasons this morning for strong gold, but we are beginning to see
evidence of Japan probably increasing demand for gold, and some other banks may be buyers in
order to add to the portfolio just in case Japan sells gold later this year to fund its rebuilding,” said
Richard Hastings, a macro strategist at Global Hunter Securities.”

Security Stocks; Visualant (OTCBB:VSUL) Subsidiary TransTech Systems Obtains Exclusive Department of Homeland Security Distribution Deal
SEATTLE - March 22, 2011 (Investorideas.com Defense Newswire) - Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL), a pioneer provider of industry-leading color-based identification and diagnostic solutions, an emerging leader in security and authentication systems technology and distributor of a wide variety of security solutions through its wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., is pleased to announce that TransTech Systems has become the exclusive distributor to the US Federal Government of a new custom-developed proximity card programmer for use on their newly mandated identification cards.
This programmer will allow those agencies to program both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz access control cards to match the current format in use at any particular facility, and will eliminate the expense for those agencies to have the cards individually programmed by the proximity chip manufacture prior to delivery. Agencies can now order standard card stock for all their facilities and not be required to purchase different formats for different locations as necessary prior to the development of this new device. As well, this offering will allow more flexibility in time and budget to the many agencies that are being forced to consider expensive upgrades to their existing access control systems in order to comply with the HSPD-12 presidential directive that all federal employees carry a specific type of access card, referred to as Personal Identity Verification ("PIV").
Jim Gingo, TransTech President stated, "This product will be supplied to the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") on an exclusive basis. This order is indicative of our ongoing commitment to and support of the many DHS agencies with which we work with the ultimate goal of assisting them to save money and better work within the constraints of severely reduced funding."
Ron Erickson, Visualant CEO said, "TransTech has a respected reputation for excellence in the security and authentication marketplace. The work that Jim Gingo and his team perform for our nation’s government is first rate and helps provide the security that we demand for our country."
About Visualant, Inc.
Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) develops low-cost, high speed, light-based security and quality control solutions for use in homeland security, anti-counterfeiting, forgery/fraud prevention, brand protection and process control applications. Our patent-pending technology uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM"). SPM technology can be miniaturized and is easily integrated into a variety of hand-held or fixed mount configurations, and can be combined in the same package as a bar-code or biometric scanner.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., the Company provides security and authentication solutions to security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.

Consumer/ Retail Stocks; YesDTC (OTCBB:YESD) Receives $500,000 Credit Line to Expand WordSmart Advertising, Driving Additional Revenue Growth -- Investor Update
SAN FRANCISCO - March 22, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - YesDTC Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:YESD), a direct-to-consumer marketer and global distributor of consumer goods and products, today announced it has obtained a new credit line of up to $500,000 for media purchasing. The credit line is being utilized beginning this week to finance a sizably increased budget for advertising the Company's flagship WordSmart product line, a development that holds significance given that over 90% of the WordSmart revenues come from television advertising.
"This is a very important event for us," commented Joseph Noel, CEO of YesDTC. "Since acquiring the WordSmart show, we have been producing a solid media efficiency ratio (MER) which corresponds to revenue generated for each dollar spent on media. With a strong, reliable MER, the direct response revenue generation model becomes relatively simple -- spending more on media will produce more revenues." Mr. Noel continued, "With this new financing resource, we will be able to further increase the airing frequency of the thirty-minute WordSmart infomercial hosted by Alex Trebek of Jeopardy! Next week, we plan to double our WordSmart media spending, with an almost additional doubling the following week."
Mr. Noel, continued, "While these events are very exciting, and given the WordSmart program will likely be a significant revenue producer this year, we do not think it will be our biggest revenue producer. We are planning to launch our MotorBooster engine conditioner product during the Memorial Day weekend and, considering the rising price of fuel, we believe revenue from this new fuel saving product could easily surpass the robust results produced by WordSmart. Additionally, our PureSleep anti-snoring product, which launched inChina
a few days ago, could represent meaningful upside potential. We believe this product is well positioned in the marketplace considering that it is an FDA cleared device made from U.S. produced plastics that is now going head-to-head with vastly inferior Chinese designed and manufactured products at the same pricing level."
"Over the next few weeks, we also plan to restart the advertising program for the MediPendant personal medical alarm in conjunction with our joint venture partner, Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCQB:MDHI). Recent tests showed very strong sales. We have re-cut the 120-second MediPendant commercial into a 60-second format, which we believe will produce even better results. We are also proceeding with the NutriFusion product via an upcoming retail placement in up to 300 Mannings drugstores in Hong Kong. We remain very excited about our growth prospects this year," concluded Mr. Noel.
YesDTC's growing product portfolio currently includes the NutriFusion line of easy-to-consume capsule and chewable nutraceutical supplement products; WordSmart, the knowledge and vocabulary building program sponsored by Alex Trebek of Jeopardy!; PureSleep Asia, the U.S. FDA-cleared anti-snoring dental device for the treatment of snoring, and MediPendant(TM), the only speak and listen through the pendant medical alarm system.

Ronald Erickson, CEO, of Visualant Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL), Discusses the Power and
Accuracy of its Patent Pending Sensor Technology
Multiple Market Applications For Spectral Pattern Matching Technology Include Homeland
Security, Identity Theft, Environmental and Agricultural
Point Roberts, WA- March 22, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal
specializing in sector research, including security stocks, presents a Q&A interview featuring Mr.
Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board of Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL).
Visualant’s patent pending ‘Spectral Pattern Matching’ technology uses light to create a unique
signature for individual items and classes of items, including a recent environmental application to
identify oil in water.
Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Ron, according to your corporate description, your sensor technology offers the simplest, fastest
and most inexpensive means to document unique non-visible signatures from nearly any kind of
product or surface. What kind of results and feedback are you seeing with the technology as your
applications widen into new markets?
A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
As we continue our work in the laboratory we are discovering some rather startling results. For
example, this past week we were able to differentiate between ten brands of vodka. I don’t
expect that to be a business focus for us. It simply illustrates the power of the Spectral Pattern
Technology to detect the unique differences that exist between substances that appear identical
to the human eye.
Q: Investorideas.com
With some of the most recent applications in conjunction with your licensed partner, Javelin LLC,
you are detecting oil in water. To what level of accuracy and to what degree can your technology
detect the oil?
A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
In the laboratory test setting we have been able to detect miniscule amounts of oil or adulterates
in oil. The laboratory tests have provided evidence of an acceptable level of accuracy.
Q: Investorideas.com
From an accuracy and efficiency standpoint, who would you say your nearest competitors are in
the sensor market? And how do you compare?
A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
There are any number of competitors providing competitive products in the senor market. We
believe that we have a distinct competitive advantage because of our low cost model and the
flexibility and durability of our technology.
Q: Investorideas.com
How does your technology enhance and improve overall security by adding it to current
biometrics technology?
A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
The Visualant Spectral Pattern Technology adds an additional layer of authentication and
requires no added features such as an RFID chip, taggant, thread or hologram. We simply see
that color that is present.
Q: Investorideas.com
In terms of new applications, is there ongoing testing and R&D to develop new markets internally
at Visualant or do you work with partners and companies that license the technology to build this
out ?
A: Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
We do both. We are working on a Spectral Pattern Matching Development Kit which third parties
can use to develop their own applications. We are also working on some product ideas at
Visualant which we will bring to market ourselves and in conjunction with joint venture partners.
Q: Investorideas.com
In terms of potential new partners and markets, what industry sector are you seeing the most
interest and activity in? And why do you think that is?
A. Ronald Erickson, CEO, President and Chairman of the Board
Naturally, given the focus of our TransTech subsidiary on the security and authentication
marketplace we are seeing most of our activity in that sector. It is an extremely important part of
the market.

Biotech Sector Snapshot HIV Drug Development; (OTCBB: AEMD), (NYSE: BMY), (Nasdaq: GILD), (NYSE: PFE)
Industry Warns of Drug Resistance Potential for HIV Drugs
Point Roberts, WA - March 18, 2011- Investorideas.com releases an industry snapshot on HIV- AIDS drug makers and recent data that suggests the HIV virus has developed drug resistance and that drug industry is not acting fast enough to get new drugs into the pipeline to combat the potential threats.
Company snapshots include Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NasdaqGS: GILD), the largest player in HIV/AIDS products and medical technology companyAethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD).
Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) is betting that its medical technology,
Hemopurifier® may offer solutions. Human studies have documented the ability of the Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs.
"In the absence of a cure for AIDS, the drug industry responded with antiviral regimens that have allowed HIV-infected individuals the ability to effectively manage their disease," stated Jim Joyce, CEO at Aethlon Medical. "However, with a shrinking drug pipeline, the big question now is who is going to help these individuals at the point they become resistant to drug regimens?"
"Much like dialysis has extended the lives of those with kidney failure, we have created a therapeutic filtration device known as the Hemopurifier® that provides a device mechanism to address all circulating HIV strains, including those resistant to HIV drug therapies. Additionally, the device fills the unmet medical need of clearing immunosuppressive toxins that are shed by the virus to deplete immune cells, which is the hallmark of AIDS," concluded Joyce.
In the absence of drug therapy, Aethlon recently demonstrated immune function improvement and a greater than 90% viral load reduction in an AIDS patient as the result of 12 treatments administered over the course of one month.
UNAIDS recently reported in a press release, "Millions of people in developing countries now depend on a steady supply of affordable first-line treatment for HIV. If their treatment is interrupted, which can lead to drug resistance, these patients will have to switch to a second-line regimen. That can be at least six times more expensive than the first-line regimen," said Dr Gottfried Hirnschall, Director of WHO's HIV/AIDS Department.
A recent article on Bloomberg.com entitled , HIV Drug Development Falters as Merck, Bristol-Myers Struggle With Success" reports "Without a steady stream of new medicines to attack the virus in different ways, drug resistance will develop, leaving more patients without a viable treatment, said Scott Hammer, a professor of medicine at Columbia University in New York.
"If we are complacent, resistance will start to spread against the key components of our therapies," Hammer said in an interview. "We need to be ready for that because we won't be able to catch up after it happens."

Company Snapshot
About Aethlon Medical ( OTCBB:AEMD)
At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® in India as we advance our clinical strategies in the United States and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:
1.Cancer: A treatment candidate to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies by removing immunosuppressive exosomes from circulation.
2.Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV): As an adjunct therapy to accelerate viral load reduction at the outset of standard of care drug regimens.
3.Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Provides a potential therapeutic option for HIV-infected individuals to manage disease progression once they become resistant to antiviral drug regimens.
4.Bioterror and Pandemic Threats: Represents the most advanced broad-spectrum strategy to address untreatable bioterror and emerging pandemic threats.
The Hemopurifier® is an expansive multi-patented platform technology whose mechanism of action can be leveraged to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, and biomarker discovery solutions. As a therapeutic, the Hemopurifier® is a single-use disposable cartridge designed for implementation within the established infrastructure of dialysis machines and other blood circulatory pumps already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy. Additional information regarding Aethlon Medical and Exosome Sciences can be accessed online at www.aethlonmedical.com.

Such potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the company's ability to commercialize its Hemopurifier® in India, capability of the Hemopurifier® to reduce viral loads and other disease conditions or to identify or treat disease conditions such as cancer or Hepatitis-C, including the ability to capture exosomes and the impact that potential ability may have on disease conditions, the Company's ability to raise capital when needed, the Company's ability to complete the development of its planned products, the ability of the Company to obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals permitting the sale of its products, the Company's ability to manufacture its products either internally or through outside companies and provide its services, the impact of government regulations, patent protection on the Company's proprietary technology, product liability exposure, uncertainty of market acceptance, competition, technological change, and other risk factors. In such instances, actual results could differ materially as a result of a variety of factors, including the risks associated with the effect of changing economic conditions and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings .

In that light, small player Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) is betting that its medical technology,
Hemopurifier® may offer solutions. Human studies have documented the ability of the Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs.
"In the absence of a cure for AIDS, the drug industry responded with antiviral regimens that have allowed HIV-infected individuals the ability to effectively manage their disease," stated Jim Joyce, CEO at Aethlon Medical. "However, with a shrinking drug pipeline, the big question now is who is going to help these individuals at the point they become resistant to drug regimens?"
"Much like dialysis has extended the lives of those with kidney failure, we have created a therapeutic filtration device known as the Hemopurifier® that provides a device mechanism to address all circulating HIV strains, including those resistant to HIV drug therapies. Additionally, the device fills the unmet medical need of clearing immunosuppressive toxins that are shed by the virus to deplete immune cells, which is the hallmark of AIDS," concluded Joyce.
In the absence of drug therapy, Aethlon recently demonstrated immune function improvement and a greater than 90% viral load reduction in an AIDS patient as the result of 12 treatments administered over the course of one month.
UNAIDS recently reported in a press release, "Millions of people in developing countries now depend on a steady supply of affordable first-line treatment for HIV. If their treatment is interrupted, which can lead to drug resistance, these patients will have to switch to a second-line regimen. That can be at least six times more expensive than the first-line regimen," said Dr Gottfried Hirnschall, Director of WHO's HIV/AIDS Department.
A recent article on Bloomberg.com entitled, HIV Drug Development Falters as Merck, Bristol-Myers Struggle With Success" reports "Without a steady stream of new medicines to attack the virus in different ways, drug resistance will develop, leaving more patients without a viable treatment, said Scott Hammer, a professor of medicine at Columbia University in New York.
"If we are complacent, resistance will start to spread against the key components of our therapies," Hammer said in an interview. "We need to be ready for that because we won't be able to catch up after it happens."

Biotech/Pharma Sector Snapshot
About Aethlon Medical ( OTCBB:AEMD)
At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® in India as we advance our clinical strategies in the United States and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:
1.Cancer: A treatment candidate to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies by removing immunosuppressive exosomes from circulation.
2.Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV): As an adjunct therapy to accelerate viral load reduction at the outset of standard of care drug regimens.
3.Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Provides a potential therapeutic option for HIV-infected individuals to manage disease progression once they become resistant to antiviral drug regimens.
4.Bioterror and Pandemic Threats: Represents the most advanced broad-spectrum strategy to address untreatable bioterror and emerging pandemic threats.
The Hemopurifier® is an expansive multi-patented platform technology whose mechanism of action can be leveraged to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, and biomarker discovery solutions. As a therapeutic, the Hemopurifier® is a single-use disposable cartridge designed for implementation within the established infrastructure of dialysis machines and other blood circulatory pumps already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy.

Point Roberts, WA - March 18, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com a leader in cleantech investor research, reports on electric car stocks and battery stocks trading for March 18th. A recent report by IDTechEx calls the hybrid and EV cars the new gold rush 2011- 2021.
With higher oil prices, the sector has had some ups and downs, with the overall market volatility. Long term- the green car enthusiasts are bullish. Just like the cars, most of the stocks in the sector are trading up and in the green this morning.
"Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2011-2021" and "Car Traction Batteries - The New Gold Rush 2011-2021"
Good volume growth but greater value growth The 30.6 million EVs sold in 2011 will rise to 51.3 million in 2021 but the value of the market will grow by far more because larger and more expensive vehicles are now rapidly adopting the technology. Motorcycles, military vehicles, buses and earthmovers are among them. Hybrids will rise from about 50% to about 60% of the value market through the decade. In ten years from now, a far higher percentage of the global output of light industrial vehicles, commercial vehicles and cars will be EVs. The new report gives the detail, forecasting numbers, unit value and total market value for each applicational sector with many original tables giving subsets of the data and a large number of profiles of current and planned activities of the participants. Some EV sectors were hit by the global financial meltdown but are recovering. Many sectors now benefit from the tsunami wave of government benefits, technical innovations and new models becoming available. We evaluate these aspects and the market drivers, including what users really need. Battery, motor and other technology is explained and forecasted as well. This report "Electric Vehicles 2011-2021" is a sister report to IDTechEx reports about the two most important subsectors of the EV business - "Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2011-2021" and "Car Traction Batteries - The New Gold Rush 2011-2021".

Biotech/Pharma Stock News; BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX) Reports Financial Results for 2010 and Clinical Development and Business Highlights
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. - March 17, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010 and clinical development and business highlights.
Financial Results for 2010
As of December 31, 2010, BioSante's cash balance was approximately $38.2 million as compared to $29.9 million at December 31, 2009. Subsequently, on March 9, 2011, the company completed a registered direct offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $23.8 million. Consequently, on March 10, 2011, BioSante's cash balance was approximately $54 million. "We are very pleased with our progress over the last year as well as our current cash balance," said Stephen M. Simes, BioSante's president and CEO. "Through careful cash management and our financing strategy, we believe we now have removed any near-term financial risk from BioSante, and our current cash balance is sufficient to finance our operations and LibiGel clinical development well into 2012, without need for additional funds."
BioSante's net loss was $46.2 million or $0.70 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $47.5 million or $1.40 per share for 2009. This decrease in net loss was due primarily to transaction and non-cash technology related expenses in 2009, associated with the company's merger with Cell Genesys, Inc., offset by increased LibiGel® clinical development expenses in 2010.
LibiGel® Clinical Highlights
The increased LibiGel clinical development expenses during 2010 was the result of steady progress in BioSante's LibiGel Phase III clinical program. LibiGel is in development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in menopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved product. In February 2011, the company announced completion of enrollment in the first of two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials, and expects enrollment in the second efficacy trial to be completed in the near future. BioSante continues to expect data from the two efficacy trials in Fall 2011.
BioSante also is conducting a Phase III safety study of LibiGel which has enrolled almost 3,000 women resulting in 3,200 women-years of safety data. A maximum of 4,000 patients will be enrolled in the study and be followed for a total of five years. However, BioSante can use the safety study data as part of a New Drug Application (NDA) submission after an average of 12 months of exposure to LibiGel or placebo. The study's independent data monitoring committee (DMC) has met five times and voted unanimously each time that the study should continue as per FDA-agreed protocol, without modification.
Pipeline Updates
In addition to the LibiGel clinical program, BioSante has a number of pipeline candidates in development, including a broad portfolio of cancer vaccines. Clinical trials of BioSante's Cancer Vaccines are being conducted to treat leukemia, pancreatic cancer and breast cancer, among other cancer types. These studies are being conducted in cooperation with The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, and are sponsored or funded at little or no cost to BioSante. Through March 2011, four of these cancer vaccines, the Pancreas Cancer Vaccine, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cancer Vaccine, Melanoma Cancer Vaccine, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cancer Vaccine, have received FDA Orphan Drug designations.
BioSante's pipeline also includes Bio-T-Gel™, a testosterone gel for male hypogonadism, which is licensed to Teva Pharmaceuticals for development and marketing. BioSante also has a licensing agreement with Pantarhei Bioscience for the development of the Pill-Plus triple component oral contraceptive which uses patented technology from BioSante. Pantarhei is engaged in several Phase II/III clinical studies with this product.

Biotech Stock News Alert; Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD) Updates Shareholders
San Diego, CA, March 17, 2011 � Investorideas.com newswire; Biotech and biodefense stock news; Aethlon Medical Shareholder Letter Aethlon Medical, Inc., (OTCBB:AEMD) disclosed that its Chairman and CEO, James A. Joyce has issued the following letter to shareholders.
Website: aethlonmedical.com
To our Shareholders:
As we advance our Hepatitis-C (HCV) treatment studies in India, we have also been active in our efforts to benefit from new government policies aimed at protecting U.S. civilian and military populations from bioterror and pandemic threats. This policy shift redefines the primary strategic objective of related government agencies to be the identification and support of innovative broad-spectrum countermeasures, technologies, and platforms. This is a considerable shift from the government�s previous focus of attempting to align a single drug or vaccine countermeasure with each pathogen threat. We remain convinced that our Hemopurifier� is the most advanced broad-spectrum countermeasure, technology, or platform.
Earlier this year, we were honored to be invited by The Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS) to present our Hemopurifier� as a broad-spectrum platform technology to multi-agency health officials on January 12th at the Washington Convention Center. Since this presentation, our bioterror and pandemic threat initiative has led to follow-on meetings and presentations, including a formal presentation to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) on February 15th. While the pursuit of government grants and contracts is not our primary focus, it is difficult to ignore a growing pipeline of new and evolving opportunities to advance our science with non-dilutive capital resources.
On February 8th, we were pleased to learn that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) released a broad agency announcement (BAA) entitled: �Dialysis Like Therapeutics� (DLT). The goal of the DLT program is to develop a portable device that removes �dirty� blood from the body, separates harmful agents, and returns �clean� blood to the body in a manner similar to dialysis treatment of kidney failure. While the device could have an impact across multiple areas of medicine, the target application for this device is sepsis. The envisioned device will be capable of removing at least 90% of unknown pathogens, toxins, and activated cells from a patient in one day. As stated in the BAA, targets for removal include viral pathogens referenced to include Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Influenza Bio-agents, Smallpox, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. As we have proven capabilities within the scope of this BAA, we plan to respond with a full proposal by April 1st.
If you are not familiar with DARPA, their mission is to maintain the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from harming our national security by sponsoring revolutionary, high-payoff research bridging the gap between fundamental discoveries and their military use. Innovation sponsored by DARPA has resulted in groundbreaking discoveries and life changing advances such as the internet. DARPA envisions that the device developed under this BAA would save the lives of thousands of military patients each year.
If selected to participate in the DLT program, we would anticipate a multifaceted role that would involve teaming with other industry partners to advance our core Hemopurifier� as an innovative dialysis-like multi-use platform technology able to selectively target deleterious pathogens and toxins from the entire circulatory system. We would also seek expand the capabilities of our technology platform as the basis for a device targeting to reduce the presence of circulating factors that are precursors to sepsis. Our goal would be to reduce the occurrence of sepsis as post-sepsis treatment strategies to inhibit the inflammation process including the modulation of inflammatory cytokines have yet to be proven clinically beneficial. It is also possible that we could participate in the advancement of portable blood pump technology required under the BAA that would be deployed to treat wounded warfighters with extracorporeal device technologies including current and future iterations of our Hemopurifier� technology. Regardless of outcome, it is truly gratifying to witness therapeutic filtration being the focal point of a government contract opportunity. This is especially true when it comes from an agency as scientifically adept as DARPA. Once we complete our submission to DARPA, I will be back in touch with an update on other activities.
On behalf of our dedicated team at Aethlon Medical, I thank you for your continued support.
Very truly yours,
James A. Joyce
Chairman, CEO
