How Motorcycle OEM US Highland (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) can Benefit from Industry Growth

October 25, 2011- Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors issues a snapshot on the motorcycle industry and how the industry is showing signs of recovery, with better than expected sales from the industry leaders and how small player  US Highland, Inc. (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) can participate in the growth as an OEM supplier .

Overall sales are up about 10% this year from a year ago.  

Harley Davidson (NYSE:HOG) and Polaris (NYSE:PII ) (which owns Indian and Victory Motorcycles), are the industry’s top guns, collectively owning well over 50% of the U.S. market.

Both companies (having recently reported Q3 earnings) have had strong rebounds and are showing phenomenal growth in an industry that is supposedly underwater.  Polaris recently raised its sales growth outlook to 30% to 32% based on a solid – and better than expected - third quarter.  Sales of off-road vehicles rose 25% and fueled significant market share gains by ATVs in the North American market. Sales of Victory Motorcycles were up 77% compared to figures from the same period last year. Even “Parts, Garments and Accessories” sales increased 21%.
Similar things are happening at Harley Davidson, though the company has run into some production issues.  Sales of new motorcycles rose 5.1% to 61,838 bikes, which included a 5.4% increase in U.S. sales.  This pushed revenue from bike sales and related products up 13.4% to $1.23 billion.  Harley held its motorcycle shipment forecast steady for 2011, saying it still expects to ship between 8% to 12% more new bikes than last year (right in line with Jones’ 10% growth estimate).

Of course, sales of finished goods should also drive sales growth for OEMs that supply manufacturers. One such company, US Highland, Inc. (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) is a relatively new player on the OEM scene, providing complete single cylinder and v-twin engine powertrain foundations - engine platforms coupled with patent-pending innovative fuel systems.  

After its own challenges in an industry that has had its share, US Highland is in the midst of a restructuring, bringing in new management (now headed by Harley Davidson and Indian veteran, John Fitzpatrick) solidifying its strategy and operations, and working to raise capital to fund its business plan.  Thus, we do not have a lot of specific information at this time, but we do know the Company appears to be an engineering and technology firm first.  US Highland generated over $1.5 million in revenues last year from engineering and business development activities, but plans are to target OEM manufacturers, followed by its own line of motorcycles in 2012.   

According to management, the Company is currently working with several OEMs for the implementation of its powertrain technology, the results of which could extend US Highland sales beyond 20,000 units per year globally.

Market Turning Positive Despite all the Terrible News
Over the past few days most of my indicators (technical) have turned positive and despite all the terrible news in the U.S. economy and in Europe what appears to be happening NOW is a buying opportunity.
There is an old saying that a rising tide lifts ALL boats.
The solar sector has literally been destroyed and NONE of the stocks in our solar stock list have given a strong buy signal - but I have gotten so many e-mails regarding what to buy if an investor wants to "bottom fish" in the solar area.
I took a look at the sector over the weekend and we "bought" (simulated, not actual) the following 5 solar stocks yesterday (10-24-2011) these are the best five stocks, in my opinion, if you want to take a chance and bottom fish in the solar industry sector. But keep in mind this is a trading play and should be classified as higher risk money.
We also further diversified, due to the weakness of the sector, by putting an equal amount of money ($5,000) into each stock, thereby not having the portfolio overly influenced by any one stock being overweighed and having a disproportional effect on the portfolio results.
Good Luck traders.....

Background Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

Direction of Motorcycle Stocks: Harley Davidson (NYSE:HOG), Polaris (NYSE:PII), US Highland (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK)

Q&A Interview with CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: BPAX) Following News of Positive LibiGel® Safety Data Review in Phase III Program

Point Roberts, WA - October 24, 2011- Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an exclusive Q&A with Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer ofBioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGM: BPAX).
The Company reported news earlier this month of positive LibiGel® safety data review in the Phase III program. Mr. Simes explains the significance of the data and what's next to take
LibiGel (testosterone gel) to market for the millions of women anxiously awaiting an approved FDA solution for female sexual dysfunction.
BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
In the Company's last release, it was reported that "The DMC once again has recommended that the safety study continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modification as there were no general or specific safety issues based on their unblinded review of adverse events."
Based on competitors dropping out of the market due to lack of sufficient safety data how significant is it that BioSante has reached this stage?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Very significant. BioSante is conducting the largest safety study ever undertaken for a drug in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. We are in the fourth year of a cardiovascular event and breast cancer safety study having completed enrollment at 3,656 women equally randomized to LibiGel or placebo. The Independent data monitoring committee has recommended continuing the study as per FDA-agreed protocol based on their seventh unblinded review of all safety data. We expect to be able to demonstrate the safety of LibiGel for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you explain to investors the next steps prior to filing an NDA in 2012?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We now have completed two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials of over 500 women each. We expect to announce top-line efficacy data in December of this year. The LibiGel safety study will undergo its primary safety analysis next summer which will put us in position to submit the new drug application (NDA) by the end of 2012. Bases on positive safety and efficacy data we hope to receive FDA approval by mid-2013.
Q: Investorideas.com
LibiGel is currently the only product in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), with an estimated market of $2 billion. How does the Company see the revenue stream following FDA approval?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We expect that the market for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction will be over $2 billion, which is the size of the erectile dysfunction market in the U.S. Based on published reports we believe the market for FSD will be at least that large. In addition, in 2010, there were about four million testosterone prescriptions written off-label for women, and in primary research doctors tell us they will switch over 90 percent of the off-label use to an FDA approved product.
Q: Investorideas.com
Several analysts including Rodman & Renshaw have a 12- month price target of $5.00 or more on the stock. The stock has had a 52-wwek high of just over $4.00 and has fallen back… What do you say to that?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
These are very difficult times in the market and in the economy. We believe our stock price is not reflecting accurately our true value. As we continue to make progress we would expect our stock price to reflect our true value. Happily we are in a very solid cash position with over $73 million in cash as of August 31, 2010 with an approximate $4 million/month burn rate which should decrease to about $3 million/month in 2012.
About LibiGel ®
LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The completed Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled over 500 surgically menopausal women each for six-months of therapy. The completed efficacy trials were conducted according to an FDA-agreed special protocol assessment (SPA) agreement. LibiGel is absorbed quickly through the skin after applying a once-daily pea-sized topical application on the upper arm that delivers testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time.
In a Phase II trial, LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD by 238 percent versus baseline (p<0.0001); this increase also was significant versus placebo (p<0.05). In this study, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel.

Oil and Gas Drilling Plans for the Mississippian: (OTCBB: OEDV), (NasdaqGM: RAM), (NYSE: RRC), (NYSE: SD)


Point Roberts, WA - October 24, 2011 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors including oil and gas stocks, issues an update on publicly traded oil and gas stocks reporting drilling plans for the Mississippian Formation for the fourth quarter and into 2012.
Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) raised investor awareness to the significance of the Mississippian Formation play when it announced in August it entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Atinum Partners Co., Ltd., an investment firm in the Republic of Korea. According to the agreement, SandRidge will transfer a 13.2% non-operated working interest in approximately 860,000 acres, or approximately 113,000 net acres to Atinum for $500 million.
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. ( OTCBB: OEDV) noted in its September release, when the Company also reported an increase in its net acreage to 15,000 acres: “Slawson Exploration as Operator is focused on drilling the project in the fourth quarter this year, yet is bringing a tremendous amount of leadership to the land acquisition process as well. The synergy that has been created by the contribution of U.S. Energy on the land side, coupled with Slawson's and our own efforts, has increased the overall acquisition efficiency dramatically from my perspective," stated Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO.
Slawson Exploration Company is the Operator of the project and owns 45%, U.S. Energy Development Corporation owns 30%, and Osage Exploration has 25%.
RAM Energy Resources, Inc (NasdaqGM: RAM ) reported in a recent update it is tentatively planning to drill its first horizontal Mississippi well in early 2012. The processing and interpretation of the company's Phase II seismic survey, which covers 31 square miles of the concession to the south and east of the 25 square-mile Phase I survey, is complete. The identification of potential new drilling locations over the Phase II survey is beginning, setting the stage for future drilling.
Range Resources Corporation (NYSE: RRC) reported to shareholders that leasing activity expanded during the quarter in the Mississippian horizontal play of northern Oklahoma. Having started the year with 15,000 net acres, Range's position has increased to over 92,000 net acres. Reserve projections are estimated in the range of 400-500 MBOE per well for approximately 2,000 foot laterals at depths of 5,000 feet. These potential reserves generate attractive finding and development costs, along with strong rates of return in this liquids-rich play. Range's production from the Mississippi horizontal area continues to hold at 3,400 gross (2,709 net) BOE per day. With its larger acreage position, Range is targeting a two rig drilling program in 2012 and is currently focused on adding the necessary infrastructure to facilitate future development
Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD ), the most dominant player in the Mississippian Play, previously told Investorideas.com, "As far as our drilling plans for 2011, our capital plan has us drilling about 140 producers in the Mississippian.". Sandridge recently sold $231 Million in assets in its East Texas natural gas properties to focus on its core plays including the Mississippian.
This asset sale is part of the capital plan to execute our 3 Year Strategy of tripling EBITDA, doubling oil production, and lowering our debt ratio by the end of 2014 by continuing to develop high rate of return oil wells in the Central Basin Platform and the Mississippian play in the Mid-Continent."
