New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2018 -- Corporate Profile®, a multi-media news provider, and host Annamaria Stewart interviewed My Size, Inc. Founder and CEO Ronen Luzon about a virtual measurement app that aims to disrupt the online apparel market.

We've seen some groundbreaking apps literally change the world in the past decade and there is one thing that all of these apps seem to have in common - they disrupt what we consider daily norms. They've changed the way we commute, how we eat, the way we pay, the way we travel, and now possibly the way we try on clothes. My Size's technology enables consumers to use their smartphones to virtually map their bodies to determine the correct size for clothing purchased online.

While online shopping has seen records sales, it has also seen record returns. These returns are costly, especially for online apparel retailers.. My Size has set out to change this.

My Size's body measurement technology, MySizeID™, enables its users to measure their body using their smartphones, allowing the application to determine the correct size for clothing purchased online. The application involves the use of a technological innovation that the Company believes will significantly reduce the margin of error experienced by consumers who purchase the wrong size online and thereby increase consumer confidence in online purchases on matters relating to size.

In the interview, Ronen addresses the $408 billion e-commerce market's need for technological improvement when it comes to consumer size matching. Currently, 40% of online clothing purchases are returned, as compared to 8.9% of in-store purchases. With the MySizeID app, Ronen hopes to disrupt the online apparel market by offering a solution that can significantly reduce returns for online purchases.

My Size recently unveiled its technology at the 2018 CES show in Las Vegas to an overwhelming reception. Ronen reveals the biggest retailers from the U.S. and Europe came to his Company's booth. These retailers tested the measurement app themselves and were pleased by how private the measurement process is for the consumer, who merely needs to use their mobile phone for body measurements.

Because MySizeID only uses mobile phone sensors to derive a measurement and does not use the phone's camera, there is no privacy issue. MySizeID offers more privacy than products like Apple's iPhone measurement app which uses the phone's camera as a measuring device.

Beyond solving the fit issue for clothing purchased online, My Size's measurement technology is being used in other vertical markets including the do-it-yourself (DIY) market and the courier market. Ronen talks about BoxSizeID's benefits and ease of use for measuring boxes shipped via couriers, as well as SizeUp for the DIY market, which has already been downloaded 700,000 times on platforms including iOS and Android.

Volez, Voguez, Voyagez literally translated means "Fly, Sail, Travel" and that's exactly what the 163 year old luxury brand has done. Its trunks and bags have traveled the world, and so has the exhibition, having opened at the Grand Palais in Paris, with stops in Tokyo, Seoul, and now the former American Stock Exchange Building in NYC. The exhibition explores the concept of travel as it relates to the brand's offerings but also asks viewers to travel through time; from the brand's humble beginnings, to the world of high-end luxury now synonymous with the French design house.

Master curator and historian Olivier Saillard, along with artistic director Robert Carson, tell the story of not only the brand Louis Vuitton but the man Louis Vuitton, who at the age of 14, traveled by foot for two years to apprentice for a Parisian box maker and packer. The exhibition shows how his designs and creations have evolved to cater to different modes of evolving transportation, it's a retrospective spanning not only 163 years of Louis Vuitton but also the art of travel.

Host Annamaria Stewart takes viewers on a 10 room journey through the exhibition, exploring the milestones, founders, clients, and inventions that have defined the brand. She also gives viewers a look at the exhibition's newest additions specific to its U.S. installation, including the "Louis Vuitton Loves America" room and the special high-tech augmented reality experiences unique to New York.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2017 -- Corporate Profile®, a multi-media news provider, takes viewers behind the scenes of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2017. See how the floats and balloons are made and piloted and hear from some of people who make this amazing American tradition happen each year.

Host Annamaria Stewart starts with the Macy's Parade Studio, a 72,000 square foot warehouse where the creative minds behind the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade work year-round to conceptualize, design, and bring to life the 26 floats, 4,200 costumes, and 17 character balloons viewed by over 50 million people on Thanksgiving morning.

Get a sneak peek at the five new floats that will debut this year. John Piper, Vice President of Macy's Parade Studio explains how ideas for the floats are often inspired by children. 27 sculptors, carpenters, painters, animators, costume designers, electricians, animators work all year to create the floats, using a lot of geometry and artistic elements. This is also where the balloon casts are made. It takes 4 - 9 months to construct each float. Plans for each year's parade start one year in advance, on the day after Thanksgiving Day.

Balloonfest at MetLife Stadium, is Annamaria's next destination. This is where all of the parade's new Giant Character Balloons make a pit stop for a test flight alongside their flight management crews and handlers. Balloon Pilot Kathy Kramer shows how pilots are trained. In addition to the pilot, each balloon requires up to 90 handlers, who train 6 times throughout the year. Balloon Handler Michael Giurici gives a firsthand account of what it's like to walk the balloon through the streets of New York. Over 8,000 participants are in the parade each year.

Want to witness the balloons being inflated first hand? You can. It happens on Thanksgiving eve in front of American Museum of Natural Museum.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/16/2017 -- Corporate Profile®, a multi-media news provider, profiles the latest hot spots for moviegoers seeking a superior film viewing experience. In the age of Netflix, it takes more than a box of Milk Duds and a fountain soda to convince New Yorkers to leave their homes to catch a flick.

Host Annamaria Stewart breaks down sites for the coolest movie theaters in New York City, giving viewers four reasons to leave their beds and head to the big screen.

Nitehawk Cinema is New York's premier dine-in theater, pairing exemplary first-run and repertory film programming along with table side food and beverage service and strives to enhance the cinematic experience with a creative framework by providing a specialty menu with fresh, local ingredients inspired by the films we love; archival 35mm projection; and special guest Q&As.

Every month, the theater offers several Signature Series programs each concentrating on a different corner filmdom including new work from New York filmmakers (Local Color), grindhouse oddities (The Deuce) or country bands paired country movies (Country Brunchin').

According to Nitehawk's website, setting a historical precedent, Nitehawk Cinema single-highhandedly is responsible for the groundbreaking overturn of the prohibition-era New York State liquor law that made serving alcohol in motion picture theaters illegal. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's signed the new law allowing moviegoers to enjoy an adult beverage at their theater seats a mere three months after the Cinema's opening date; and thus, a new era of boozy film viewing in Brooklyn (and beyond) began!

Metrograph is a unique experience of seeing prestigious films; of stepping into a special, curated world of cinema, a world of hospitality harkening back to the great New York movie theaters of the 1920s, as well as the Commissaries of the Hollywood Studio back lots, a world inhabited by movie professionals screening their work, taking meetings, watching films. It's the ultimate place for movie enthusiasts.

From exclusive premieres to rare archival print screenings, book signings, special dinners, and events, Metrograph offers experiences for a wide spectrum of audiences, attracting diverse communities all drawn to the excitement of cinema and the magic of having a place to celebrate it.

Rooftop Cinema Club believes iconic movies and great dialogue deserves to be heard properly. Ever missed that key plot-line because the guy behind your seat is eating his popcorn too loudly? Rooftop Cinema uses state-of-the-art wireless headphones so users can live in those memorable cinematic moments, and not get disturbed by the outside world.

iPic Theaters indulges moviegoers in a new standard of affordable luxury unlike any other movie theater by deftly combining the highest levels of comfort, hospitality, and amenities that turn an ordinary experience into a unique and extraordinary movie-going escape. Whether you opt for their oversized, plush leather seats or custom Chaise Lounges in the Premium section, or treat yourself to the luxe comfort of their reclining seats and personal PODs in the Premium Plus section (complete with a personal pillow and blanket and complimentary popcorn), every seat is first-class with impeccable views of the big screen. Tempt all of your senses with next-level in-cinema dining.

Premium seats are fitted with tables, perfect for housing selections carried in from iPic Express; or have it all delivered in the Premium Plus seats featuring a table to accommodate seat-side service, direct to your chair at the touch of a call-button by ninja-like servers throughout the movie.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/28/2014 -- CorporateProfile.com recently reported a story on CEL-SCI Corporation, a biotech company dedicated to improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the body's natural immune defense system.

The European Biopharmaceutical Review, a leading scientific publication for the biotech industry, published an article by CEL-SCI's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Eyal Talor in its spring 2014 edition.

The article titled, "Infection Control" is focused on the link between HIV, HPV and cancer. The Centers for Disease Control puts the number of HIV-infected adults in the US at over 1 million. Because these individuals are immune-compromised, it is harder for their bodies to fight off infection and cancer.

Dr. Talor's article points out that with today's advanced treatments, HIV may be a more manageable disease but those with the condition face a growing risk of HPV infection, some of which can become a precursor to cancer.

CEL-SCI's immunotherapy drug, Multikine, offers a potential immune boost for patients that helps them against HPV and cancer. As pointed out in the article, Multikine may help to kill HPV-infected cells. The US Navy is working on finding out if this is the case. The Navy is investigating the use of Multikine immunotherapy against anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected individuals. Multikine is also currently being investigated in a global Phase 3 trial as a treatment for head and neck cancer.

CEL-SCI's Dr. Talor is a clinical immunologist with over 19 years of hands-on management of clinical research and drug development for immunotherapy. He is the author of over 25 publications.

The article can be read by following this link on the magazine's site: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/launch.aspx?pbid=587773cf-29c4-46f2-9d9d-2f87bf178b5c

About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Its lead investigational therapy is Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), currently being studied in a pivotal global Phase III clinical trial. CEL-SCI is also investigating an immunotherapy (LEAPS-H1N1-DC) as a possible treatment for H1N1 hospitalized patients and as a vaccine (CEL-2000) for Rheumatoid Arthritis (currently in preclinical testing) using its LEAPS technology platform. The investigational immunotherapy LEAPS-H1N1-DC treatment involves non-changing regions of H1N1 Pandemic Flu, Avian Flu (H5N1), and the Spanish Flu, as CEL-SCI scientists are very concerned about the possible emergence of a new more virulent hybrid virus through the combination of H1N1 and Avian Flu, or maybe Spanish Flu. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2014 -- The saying goes that a woman should always keep her head, heels and standards high; but if she isn't as confident in her ability to walk in sky-high heels as she want to be, there is actually a class for that. Corporate Profile®/ClearVISION host, Annamaria Chen, drops in to one of LEGWORK "Walking in High Heels" workshops to pick up some tips from shoe designer Victor Chu. The class pulls exercises and tricks from the famed NYC Rockettes. According to Chu, "Whether you are prepping for the Catwalk or the Sidewalk you'll leave walking with grace and control."

Corporate Profile a video campaign called the NYC Urban Guidebook last year to help visitors better understand the in-and-outs of New York City including the best places to visit. The series is currently streaming on the ClearVISION Network, an innovative in-airport TV network which features the best entertainment, news, music, and sports programming for travelers.

The latest edition to the NYC Urban Guidebook series takes a fresh and best approaches to navigating the city in heels. "New York City women are particular about their heels and even risk injury in the subway or stairs," explains Chu in the video. One point Chu makes in the video is the importance of good posture. By shifting your body upright, it takes pressure off the weight on the heels.

Chu points out that all heels are not made equal as he gives Chen some feedback on her personal shoe selections. According to Chue, many women are unaware that their shoe choices may not necessarily be good choices based on the heel lands and the height of the shoe's heel. He advises to keep clear of shoes that are too tight, too narrow or too big on the feet as he finds the heels compensate for the uncomfortable fit, causing pain.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2014 -- Companies in the global waste-to-energy market earned revenues of $18 billion in 2012 and research firm Frost & Sullivan estimates revenues in the sector will skyrocket to $29 billion by 2016. Driven by the demand for renewable sources of energy and growing mounds of trash in the industrialized world, this is clearly a growth market. Private venture capital and clean tech funds, as well as billion dollar giants like Caterpillar are investing. The World Energy Council reported that between 2011 and 2012, the increase of venture capital and private equity investment into the waste-to-energy sector increased by 186% to a total investment of $1 billion. Blue chip players and large VC and hedge fund typically have access to ground floor investment opportunities that would not be available to public investors.

Blue Sphere, an Israel-based energy company builds facilities that turn organic waste into electricity and it offers public investors a rare opportunity to invest in and co-own property with the Caterpillars and private funds of the world. Blue Sphere has just entered the U.S. waste-to-energy market. In 2014 the company will break ground on it first 5.2 megawatt waste-to-energy facility in North Carolina.

Deep pocked investors are funding the build out of the facility, which already has guaranteed long-term revenue contracts. Caterpillar is providing $17.8 million in project financing. A leading green tech fund is investing an additional $6 million in project financing. This $23.8 million is non-dilutive funding for the public investors of Blue Sphere because the funding comes in the form of project financing that goes directly into the facility build out. It is not money in exchange for Blue Sphere stock.

Blue Sphere itself does not invest millions into the facility like Caterpillar and the clean tech fund. However, it earned a 36% ownership stake in this first facility in exchange for the world-class expertise it brings to the table as project manager. This North Carolina facility is a model for how Blue Sphere will build out a large portfolio of waste-to-energy facilities across the U.S., all funded by others, with Blue Sphere keeping a growing equity stake in each one. Blue Sphere is already developing its second U.S. facility in Rhode Island and the company reports that by 2018 they plan to have 11 facilities built with 6 more under construction and development.

This presents a very unique public company situation. Companies typically go public to raise money from public investors in exchange for stock, and then reinvest this money into growing their business, which hopefully increases the value of the company for public investors. Blue Sphere is getting its growth capital not from public investors, but from the likes of Caterpillar and private investment funds. Public investors who become Blue Sphere shareholders in effect become co-owners of the facilities alongside Caterpillar.

North Carolina is just one project and Blue Sphere is looking to build many more. Building them becomes easier when you have guaranteed long term revenues contracts from some of the largest utility companies in the world. Major utilities including Duke Energy and National Grid have both signed 15 year contracts to purchase electricity produced by Blue Sphere. In building out the rest of its portfolio of facilities, Blue Sphere plans to have similar financing and contracts from companies of similar caliber.

The U.S. market is ripe with opportunity now for waste-to-energy. Blue Sphere's focus on converting food waste into energy is a $6 billion global market and one of the fastest growing segments in renewable energy and waste-to-energy. There are only 202 anaerobic facilities where organic waste is turned into electricity in the entire U.S., whereas there are 7,000 in Germany alone. U.S. states are mandating that organic waste no longer be disposed of in landfills and that electric utilities buy a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable generated sources.

This is an opportunity for investors looking to take a position in the booming waste-to-energy market. Looking at other public companies that are active in the space, Waste Management, the waste industry giant, reports it is engaged in some waste-to-energy projects. However, that only accounts for a small portion of its revenues. Covanta has a $2.3 billion market cap and specializes in the conversion of waste to energy. However, Covanta is primarily engaged in solid waste like metal and plastic, not organic food waste. Covanta recently announced in October that through a partnership, it will start to offer organics to waste services in response to demand from municipalities.

Blue Sphere, with its $2 million market cap has a great opportunity to grow into a $2 billion market cap like Covanta. It is a rare occasion when public investors can participate in this kind of potential upside, starting at the ground level alongside billion dollar players that are providing non-dilutive growth capital.

Caterpillar, Duke, and National Grid have very likely done extensive due diligence into Blue Sphere before signing these high-value, long term contracts with the company. The fact that Blue Sphere locks in revenues with the largest utilities like Duke and National Grid through long-term power purchase agreements, even before the waste-to-energy facility has broken ground, creates low risk, high return projects, and the enables fast growth of Blue Sphere's portfolio.

Ray Dirks and his team suggest that investors place no more than 1% of the funds they devote to common stocks in any one security. It's best to diversify.

For more information on this press release visit: http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/07/2014 -- RAYDIRKS Research publishes its INITIAL report on Borneo Investment Resources Ltd., and suggests that our readers/investors do their due diligence, consult their investment advisers, and then consider taking a position in the common shares of Borneo at current prices for the possibility of capital appreciation of several times on their investment over the Short Term (6 to 12 months) and over the Long Term (1 to 3 years).

Borneo Resource Investments Ltd. is a profitable mining company that mines gold and develops producing gold mines as well as coal mining properties in the Republic of Indonesia. Borneo's current assets include three gold properties, two of which are now producing gold, and one coal mining asset.

In the view of Ray Dirks and his team of security analysts and money managers, Borneo Investment Resources common stock is currently undervalued – as it's under-followed by the investment community due to a combination of three factors. First, in the past few years there has been a general, and in our opinion temporary and soon-to-change, downward sentiment towards gold mining stocks in the market which has left BRNE unnoticed as a new producing miner in the market. Second, in addition to BRNE being a producing and profitable gold miner, it also has coal mining assets that are not yet recognized by the market and therefore are not priced into the stock, while the coal mining assets also serve to reduce and minimize any perceived risk associated with gold. Third, during the 4th quarter of 2013 BRNE has issued some very positive news that has transformed the company and fundamentally increased its value, and because the market has not yet priced this into the stock, BRNE is huge opportunity for investors.

Currently priced at $0.50 per share on December 30, 2013, RAYDIRKS Research believes investors could benefit from adding BRNE to their portfolios. The 12-month price target for the stock is $3.00 per share based on BRNE's current assets. This price target could go higher if the company acquires additional gold and coal assets.

Ray Dirks and his team of security analysts and money managers will first lay out the broader trends in gold and coal which create this immediate opportunity for BRNE, a company that has both gold and coal assets.

During 2013, as the price of gold has gone from about $1700 per ounce to approximately $1200 per ounce, many gold mining stocks have taken a hit. Many investors looking for tax loss selling have seen their gold mining stock as assets to sell, putting further downward pressure on these stocks. The result was an overall down trend in gold mining stocks at the end of 2013. In general gold prices tend to increase when economies are weak because investors look for a safe haven.

Borneo's timing couldn't be better. It has just started mining gold in June of 2013, and the company's operating expenses are appropriately geared to current gold prices, resulting in profitability for the company in Q3 of 2013, the company's first full quarter of mining. This is in contrast to so many gold miners that geared their operating costs to higher gold prices which neared $2000 per ounce in 2011.

In contrast to gold, coal, which is used to power 40% of the world's electricity generation, tends to be in higher demand when the economy is on the upswing. Today, as the global economy has recovered from the 2008 recession and the world is seeing stable growth, gold is likely to remain stable or go higher from current levels. Coal, meanwhile is expected to continue to increase in price as global demand, particularly in Asia, namely China and India drive demand. According to a recent report by energy consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie, coal will surpass oil as the key fuel for the global economy by 2020. And where is most of the demand coming from? It's coming from China and India which get much of their coal from Indonesian imports. BRNE's coal asset is ideally located to meet demand.

Against this backdrop of global economic conditions and the drivers for gold and coal, BRNE has unique attributes and recent news triggers that drive its movement.

BRNE has made several key announcements during the fourth quarter of 2013 that make it clear this is a mining company with upside, growing cash flows, increasing asset values and potentially set to up-list in 2014. All of these triggers set the stock for significant appreciation in 2014.

Profitable in Q3 of 2013
Based on mining just 1 of its 3 gold mines in Q3 of 2013, BRNE is profitable. This is a testament to how effectively the company manages its assets, its efficient operations, and how strategic the company has been in acquiring gold mining properties with surface mining that offer low operating costs. The company just started mining operations in June of 2013. In Q3 of 2013, the first full quarter of mining, BRNE reported revenues of $507,771 and net income of $41,201. I point out that this profitability is based on initial mining at only one property, Talawaan. BRNE reports it expects to significantly increase mining capacity of Talawaan. Add to this the Company has just started mining at its newly acquired mine Ratatotok South in December 2013 and reports it will mine at its third mine, Ratatotok in 2014.

Brilliant Move by Management to Purchase New Mine: Ratatotok South
On December 12, 2013, BRNE announced it acquired a producing gold mine for just $250,000. The acquired property, Ratatotok South, is adjacent to the southern border of one of BRNE's other gold mining properties, Ratatotok. Ratatotok South comes with assets including a stockpile of ore on site ready for processing, as well as significant infrastructure and equipment. BRNE reports that the acquisition will further boost its gold production levels, revenues and contribute to gross profits. The ore at this site may produce 99% pure gold and the structure and quality of the ore body on the property means that the extraction process used at Ratatotok South will be significantly less labor intensive and at a lower cost than the extraction method employed at BRNE's Talawaan property, the company reported. With this acquisition, BRNE says it has just reduced its expense and accelerated its timeline for mining at Ratatotok.

Gold Generates Cash for Investments
BRNE is now cash flow positive with just one mine. It appears to be set to increase these cash flows and profitability through: a) further increasing mining at Talawaan; b) the addition of mining at Ratatotok South at the end of 2013; and c) adding mining at Ratatotok later in 2014. With cash thrown off from current gold production, BRNE can invest in yet more producing gold mines as well as investing in the development of coal assets which can really produce huge gains in the future. Cash flow also means the company has less need to raise capital from outside sources and new share issuance can be minimized, taking out a large portion of risk for investors.

Gold Assets Worth More Than $240 Million
As of December 30, 2013, BRNE owns three gold properties, Talawaan which it began mining in June 2013, Ratatotok South which it began mining in December 2013, and Ratatotok which it plans to mine in 2014. The company current has estimates of gold reserves at Talawaan alone of $240 million. The company has not yet reported what the reserves are at the other two properties. However, $240 million at one mine alone, relative to BRNE's current market cap of just under $40 million seems like a value to us.

Beyond Gold and Into Coal
BRNE is building its gold assets while generating cash flows. However, investors looking at the company's gold assets and revenues may easily overlook the fact that the company also has coal assets. BRNE develops 'coal concessions' which means they acquire the coal mining rights to properties. Because coal mining requires larger scale investments, the company has a smart strategy to monetize its coal assets through joint ventures with larger mining companies. BRNE's strategy is to survey properties through geological tests to prove feasibility of mining and then partner with other mining companies to mine and monetize the best properties on a larger scale. Coal is a huge opportunity for the company that is not currently priced into the stock. Buying this stock is like owning an undervalued gold company with huge upside and in addition, having an option on a major coal play.

Coal Asset Worth $1.5 Billion
BRNE now has one coal concession which has estimated coal reserves worth $1.5 billion. If this one coal concession alone were moved forward into development and mining, BRNE's current market cap of under $40 million would be dwarfed by the potential worth of the company in the future. Additionally the company reports it has signed letters of intent and memorandums of understanding with more coal concession holders.

Indonesia: Location, Location, Location
Both in terms of gold and coal, Indonesia offers huge advantages in location. Indonesia was the 8th largest gold producing nation in 2012, producing 95 metric tons that year. The mines acquired by BRNE are properties where the company can 'surface mine' which means the costs of production are lower than other forms of mining where the gold is not as easy to reach and extract. For coal, Indonesia is a major world player. Indonesia is the world's largest exporter of coal, with $25 Billion exported in 2012. Its geographic proximity to China and India make it the largest exporter of coal to these countries. 77% of China's and 57% of India's economy is powered by thermal coal. The costs of transporting coal are high and therefore the proximity of Indonesia to China and India is a huge advantage.

Management & Relationships
BRNE's quick path to profitability based on its first full quarter of mining at just one property is a huge testament to the talent of its management team. My team and I also point out that one key executive, BRNE's Chief Operating Officer and Director, and another of its Directors, are both Indonesian nationals. This is a key. Strong relationships with local asset owners, business people, and the government are very important in any foreign nation. BRNE appears to have solid relationships which create unique opportunities for them in Indonesia. BRNE's CEO has a solid track record in resource financing and experience in Indonesia.

Look for More Triggers 2014
Beyond what the company has recently announced in Q4 of 2013, look for these key triggers which may move the stock into the levels of our $3.00 per share 12-month price target.

Q4 Results – The Company reported profitability in Q3 2013 and they may do it again in Q4 2013 and into the future.

More Gold Acquisitions – BRNE is actively looking for more acquisition opportunities. More smart buys like the one they just made with Ratatotok South will add further value.

Developments on Coal Concessions – As gold mining provides more cash flow look for BRNE to make investments in coal concessions that can unlock billion-dollar-plus opportunities for the company.

Up-listing – BRNE may have the shareholder equity and price to up-list to a major exchange in 2014. Based on BRNE's December 19, 2013 press release, on a pro-forma basis the company had stockholders' equity of $1.9 million for its Q3 ended September 30, 2013. An uplisting would add further value by opening the stock for purchase by numerous institutions that may be restricted from buying the stock now while it's listed on the OTCQB.

RAYDIRKS Research suggests that our readers/investors do their due diligence on Borneo Investment Resources (BRNE), and consult their investment advisers, and then consider taking a position in the common shares of BRNE at current prices for the possibility of capital appreciation of several times on their investment over the Short Term (6 to 12 months) and over the Long Term (1 to 3 years)

Ray Dirks and his team suggest that investors place no more than 1% of the funds they devote to common stocks in any one issue. It's best to diversify.

Local Corporation’s Deal with Microsoft Drives real-time Value

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/09/2013 -- Local Corporation just signed up one of the world's largest technology companies to provide location-based data for shoppers looking for products and services, something Local does best. In a deal finalized last week, Microsoft will use Local's Krillion shopping data platform to power its own search engine, Bing, for consumers doing local searches for categories of products that drill down to brands, retail stores, and availability. Krillion is a revolutionary real-time local product search platform that lets buyers find what they need in their immediate vicinity, saving time and money. It was acquired by Local a little over two years ago and is already paying for itself.

Shares of Local jumped 41%, to $2.30 on the news, then settled to $1.95 at the close on Friday, still an 18% gain.

Microsoft isn't the only big tech company after Local's expertise. Google Inc. is Local's largest ad partner accounting for 44% of total revenue in 2012. Yahoo! Inc. is next, supplying 21% in the same year. These are long-term partners who together own the search engine space – Google's market share is 67% in the US and Yahoo is 11%.

Bing is big, too, and growing with a market share of 18%, rising from 16% a year ago. Bing offers millions of users: news, maps, video, mobile, images, and tweets. Local listings are becoming more important to monetize because that's where ads get the most attention, and that's where Microsoft wants to be. With Microsoft on board, Local will be in partnerships with search engines that own 96% of the US market. Worldwide figures are even bigger.

Online search for products and services is important to today's consumers. Research matters to them before they use gas to go from store to store. Studies show that shoppers doing local searches on the Internet tend to buy more often because they have a mindset ahead of time, instead of just browsing at the mall. That's why advertisers pay big money to put their ads in front of local searchers on websites like Local.com. Also, Local does a huge service to small and medium-sized community businesses because it allows them to compete on a national level, something they would never have had the resources for in the past.

This deal is good for Local, but it is also very good for Microsoft, who has been struggling with Bing and other products like the new X-Box One that industry watchers say may not make breakeven in its first year of sales. Bing has a tainted history – when it was launched in 2009, there were complaints about a bug that forced users to default to it, destroying trust in the software titan. Microsoft needs a local search engine to kick-start Bing, appeal to consumers, and gain market share. Local's solution is the answer.

The biggest risk to Local had always been competition in location-based online search, from firms like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. Now all of these companies are partnering with Local who want to use its knowledge base in local search and, eventually, in capturing mobile ad revenues.

Bottom line – Local's technology is attracting attention. They have firm footing in two major markets – the $42 billion online advertising industry and local search, expected to be $14 billion in three years. Financial performance has been phenomenal, causing them to raise revenue guidance for 2013 to between $95-$97 million, with EBITDA of $5.4 million this year. The key to Local's growth is expanding their reach of monthly unique visitors and how much ad revenue they make from those users, two figures that are growing quarter to quarter. A partnership with Microsoft can only add to this expansion. With a low valuation and lots of promise, I believe Local is a stock to buy now.

Ray Dirks' investment columns appears exclusively CP Reports featuring Ray Dirks on http://www.cpreports.com/

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/06/2013 -- Ray Dirks and his team of Money Managers and Securities Analysts at RAYDIRKS Research are pleased to be writing their First Article on Unilife, an exciting company with a large upside potential – and especially so after Forbes Magazine featured Unilife in its September 23, 2013 issue – which is distributed by Bloomberg both as an e-Magazine and on newsstands.

Forbes has an unsavory reputation for beating up on some small companies and their managements, and the magazine seems to assign articles to writers who are predisposed to try to ridicule the managements they are interviewing. Sadly, that is what's happening with Unilife and its Chief Executive Officer, Alan Shortall, the 59-year-old Irishman who founded Unilife and still manages the company.

A person named Abram Brown, a member of Forbes Staff, was assigned to interview Mr. Shortall, and then write a story, which appears in the September23, 2013 issue of Forbes, which is hard to find – even in New York City (of course, it's only September 5th). Abram Brown writes about himself at the top of the article, "I write about businesses that merit attention, for better or for worse." Clearly – this one is "for worse".The headline on the article, just below Abram Brown's self-pumping-up, is as follows:

HOW IS A $329M SYRINGE COMPANY STILL UNPROFITABLE AFTER 11 YEARS?

Then on the Internet, Forbes, the e-Magazine, asks its readers for comments.

The article's first paragraph starts off with a visual put-down of Mr. Shortall – "On a recent morning in rural Pennsylvania Alan Shortall, Unilife Corp.'s 59-year-old founder and chief, is doing what he does best: talking up his company. Seated at a massive, wrench- shaped desk-cum-conference table, he spends 90 minutes on the phone with a potential overseas investor, making Unilife's retractable syringe technology sound like the greatest delivery system since … FedEx. "I believe we can do a dozen contracts this year, which should tell you about what we've got in the pipeline," says Shortall, a tall, bald Dubliner with a brogue and soft blue eyes who could pass for the younger brother of Dennis Kozlowski, Tyco's convicted felon.

The article blatantly parades numerous misrepresentations of fact, misleading statements, and deplorable inaccuracies concerning Unilife and Mr. Shortall. These falsehoods and slurs could easily have been checked for the truth by Forbes with diligent fact-verification and a well-balanced editorial viewpoint.

In the second paragraph of the article, Forbes wryly observes, "It's a good story – embellished or otherwise – one he has sold to institutions like Frontier Capital Management, JPMorgan, Chase, BlackRock, Vanguard and Fidelity, all major shareholders (none of which would comment for this story). Five of the six analysts following the firm recommend the stock.

And while the stock is down to $3.45, a 60% plunge since Shortall listed it on Nasdaq in February 2010, Unilife has a market capitalization of $329 million, 120 times sales. With cow-eyed optimism the average Wall Street forecaster predicts Unilife's first profits in 2015 – 13 years after its birth, an eternity even for a biomedical startup."

To a man – and that phrase includes women as well – the securities analysts at RAYDIRKS Research strongly object to the article's characterization of securities analysts as "cow-eyed optimists".

The third paragraph starts off, "Punctured by facts, the hype collapses. In the fiscal year ended June 30 Unilife lost $63.2 million on revenue of $2.7 million, selling syringes in different devices that deliver medications. The income from the one big contract it ever scored – a multiyear, $40 million deal with Sanofi, the French pharma – has all but ended.

The brightest prospect Shortall shares with investors is with a development-stage drug maker that's never earned a nickel. Yet Shortall is indefatigable. "The wearable injector alone," he says referring to a line of syringes, "is a billion – dollar franchise."

Ray Dirks of RAYDIRKS Research and his team thinks that while there have been delays, Mr. Shortall and his management team shouldn't make any apologies for their high level of enthusiasm or excitement as expressed in their meetings with the public. As a matter of fact, there is a quarterly report call scheduled within the next week. And RAY DIRKS Research wouldn't be surprised if some new contracts were announced during that call with shareholders.

Further into this long-winded Forbes article, writer Abram Brown implies that Mr. Shortall's realized compensation adds up to $8.1 million and that Unilife's COO's compensation totals $8 million. Forbes and Abram made these fallacious and misleading statements, Ray Dirks and his team believe, despite clear evidence from public documents that is contrary to what they write.

Mr. Shortall's base salary is $420,000 per year with a large cash bonus opportunity of 50% of that salary. This has stayed the same since 2004 and is at or below the 50th percentile for his position in his peer group for 2012. Forbes and Abram Brown have carelessly, but perhaps also carefully, combined the cash and equity compensation reported for the past three years without bothering to report that the vast majority of the amounts are stock and option awards that haven't been realized.

In Summary, RAY DIRKS Research thinks Unilife under Alan Shortall will continue to successfully build Unilife's Market Capitalization by developing and consolidating long-term partnerships with its pharmaceutical company associates and also with its pharmaceutical customers, thereby generating substantial long-term growth.

RAYDIRKS Research suggests that our readers and other investors, both Institutional and Individual, visit the Web Site of Unilife – http://www.Unilife.com for additional information and also visit the Web Site of its Investor Relations and Public Relations firm – Pro-Active Corporation – www.Pro-ActiveCorp.com for a wealth of information about Unilife.

Ray Dirks also suggests that, after doing due diligence, Readers and Investors consider buying the common stock of Unilife (UNIS) at its current price for its potential long-term upside of $5.00 to $7.00.

And Ray Dirks suggests that our Readers and other Investors share provide any comments that they might have with Pro-Active Capital through their Web Site or by Telephone.

RAYDIRKS Research advises the Readers of this Article to place no more than 1 % of the money that they devote to Common Stocks in any one Company's securities. It's best to Diversify!

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/19/2013 -- Local is a company not afraid of making promises to shareholders because management consistently achieves its performance goals. The first quarter delivered a nice gain on gross margins in its largest revenue stream – websites it owns and operates – that gave the bottom line a $0.07 boost and swung the company to a net earnings profit. These margins will keep expanding as Local creates more ways to lower its costs of acquiring consumer traffic to the websites it controls with new marketing tools. Also in the first quarter, Local's network of over 1,200 other websites that rely on the search results it provides produced revenue growth of a stunning 96% as the number of sites continues to go up almost 10% quarter to quarter.

The last time we looked, Local Corporation was trading at a ridiculous discount to its peers based on price per sales (PPS). Since then, the group's average multiple has expanded by over 30% with Local trading at an 88% discount despite revenue growth of 25% in 2012.

For the second quarter, the number of monthly unique visitors (MUV) in mobile traffic jumped to 34 million, 79% more than a year ago and growing every quarter. Predictions say that 80% of local searches will be by mobile phones by 2018, and Local is ready not only from an operational standpoint, but also with its five patents of expertise in the $1.2 billion mobile advertising business. Advertisers are devoting more of their budgets to mobile ads because people tend to search more often from their phones. Local is actively pursuing companies infringing on the patents and one lawsuit against Fry Electronics has already been filed. I believe more will follow later in the year.

I question why a company with such great fundamentals, smart management, and stellar revenue growth is still so cheap when several of its competitors are trading at nosebleed PPS multiples for no reason that I can comprehend. Online restaurant reservation taker Open Table, Inc., is over $68 per share, for a $1.5 billion market cap, almost 9x PPS, and rose on 1 ¼ points on Friday despite a ho-hum initial rating by RBC Capital Markets. Revenue growth is there, but at 16% in 2012 not nearly as impressive as Local.

Online wedding planner XO Group is another good example of silly valuations. In a very crowded and highly competitive market, it managed a paltry 4% top-line gain for 2012 yet trades at a PPS of 2.2x, far higher than Local's 0.4x. Revenues for Marchex Inc., who measures performance of mobile advertising for a living, dropped last year but still holds a PPS of 1.5x. The list goes on, and my favorite in the over-bloated category ((no offense meant toward the CEO's girth)) continues to be Angie's List with a market cap of $1.4 billion and a PPS of 8.8x. The company tacked on a nice gain in revenue in 2012, but it's a tainted business model that I believe sustains itself only through the aggressive tactics of sales reps that hound local vendors to pay extortion-level amounts of cash to get a favorable listing on the website

I revisited the peer group's average PPS multiple based on a trailing 12 months of revenue data (a total of 14 companies) and found a nice expansion from 2.5x to 3.3x with Local staying about the same despite its tremendous top-line growth and progress in the business. Applying the average to Local's 2012 revenue per share of $4.40, I come up with a fair price of $14 for the stock, which is where I believe it should be trading today.

Local's well-run business and valuable patents should make it an attractive take-over candidate, and big players like Yahoo! and Google Inc. are always on the prowl. Just last month Google snatched up Waze, a mobile traffic app company, for a whopping $1.1 billion that was seen as a defense move to block rivals in their efforts to develop similar platforms. With its growing number of MUVs, blossoming network, major inroads into the $2.7 billion mobile app industry, and irresistible valuation, it is very likely Local is on the radar screen of potential suitors and could be the next target.
