What We Are Watching for the Week of March 22, 2010

What We Are Watching for the Week of March 22, 2010

Here’s a summary of what we are watch for the week:

Options Media Group (OPMG) – We have a detailed update on Options Media Group (OPMG) on the blog this morning. We are expecting the Company to report year end 2009 numbers on Friday. Look for continued strong gross margins and a significantly cleaned up balance sheet that will likely show a strong cash balance, the elimination of virtually all long-term debt and financial ratios that are strongly improved. In the new blog posting we also describe the Company’s initiatives in the for profit social media space. Investors should watch for news from the Company over the short-term. We like the shares at this price.

Biomagnetics Diagnostics (BMGP) – It appears the Company’s additional agreement with Los Alamos is now completed and has been kicked up to the highest levels of the lab for final approval. Under the agreement the scientists at Los Alamos will develop the tuberculosis and cholera test cartridges and will develop an additional desktop prototype unit that will be shipped to India for both malaria test cartridge development and clinical trials. We are expecting the tuberculosis and cholera test products to be available in August. We continue to be very happy with the developments and believe this will be revolutionary technology when it is releases this summer. The accounting process has now been completed with the numbers going to the auditor. This will be the last step before the Company becomes fully reporting and files its paperwork to move to the over-the-counter market. This technology is worth tens of millions of dollars upon its release. We continue to compare it to the Abbott Labs product that won of the Wall Street Journal innovation awards – but in many ways we believe the BMGP technology will be better in that it is handheld, field deployable, cheaper on a per test basis and does not require highly skilled personnel for operation. At a current capitalization of only approximately $7 million, BMGP is severely undervalued. Watch closely as the story develops over the coming months – clearly one of our favorites.

BioElectronics Corp. (BIEL) – Extremely exciting to hear about the strong results in the Latin American market. Over the coming weeks expect the Company to significantly boost advertising spending in the Latin American market. If the same five to one revenue versus ad spending translates to the mass Latin American market, major revenue growth will result. Investors do not seem to be keying in on the recent product improvements, but I believe it is really important. The quality of the new version of ActiPatch is very impressive. The new back pain belt will be even more impressive as it will be the first bacl pain specific PEMF device on the market – the design is innovative – I am impressed. The audit continues, which should be one of the last steps before the Company is able to execute its OTC-related strategy. It is good to see management taking care of issues one by one. A coming surprise for investors? Watch the Q4 revenue number when it is released. I can hardly wait.

Applied Nanoscience (APNN) – Applied Nanoscience is a small company developing a nanoparticle-based mask to prevent bacterial and viral transfer from person to person. While the Company is pretty quiet, they had a major development last week that leads us to believe that revenue production in fact will occur during the June quarter. They have successfully applied to the nanoparticle to the mask filtration material and have produced several rolls that will be used by the mask manufacturer. We are waiting for further intellectual property protection developments to occur over the next couple of months. Once these protections are in place and the Company begins to produce in quantity, we believe some substantial revenue growth could result. Likely too early to pour new money into this name, but it is one we are closely monitoring as successes could really pop the stock in a very big way.

Extensions (EXTI) – We believe you are going to hear a lot about this company over the coming weeks. The management team, lead by search engine luminary Jeff Black, has developed a press release dissemination service that merges search engine optimization and social media networks. Companies who use EXTI’s Newwire.net press release dissemination service get articles written about the press release by EXTI’s army of independent journalists and bloggers. These articles are then added to the Newswire.net website. The Newswire team was recently notified by Google that the Newswire site has become an authorized Google news source. Google now scans the site every six minutes!!!! This usually results in the information from the press release moving to the top of Google search. It is an extremely powerful tool and could turn into a fast-growing revenue stream for EXTI. Company President, Jeff Black, was one of the original designers of the AltaVista search engine and was the founder and former CEO of Hotel.com. What they have designed here is pretty important and could be worth a substantial sum to investors. Watch for news over the coming weeks as this very important technology developed further. Jeff Black is the real deal and has assumed the lead role at this Company because he sees the substantial contribution EXTI can make towards the merger of Internet search and social media.

Clear Skies Solar (CSKH) – Clear Skies Solar remains one of our top picks. Shares have been beat up rather significantly, but the fundamentals of this business remain intact as financing returns to the solar industry and as several major customers accelerate their plans for solar installations. We have posted a full review here on the blog. We have been in very close contact with management over the past few days and have received a new briefing of corporate activities. Our opinion remains the same – the shares are severely undervalued at current levels. In our opinion, investors who purchased shares at current levels will be handsomely rewarded over the short-term.

Medical Alarm Concepts (MDHI) – Medical Alarm is another company that has suffered as major long-term shareholders have liquidated their positions. We believe the fundamentals of the story remain sound and we love the Company’s products. Last week, the Company announced Albertson’s supermarkets would begin carrying the product. We are expecting further retail expansion over the coming weeks and a new marketing and advertising program to be instituted to further get the word out to consumers about this revolutionary medical alarm technology. With approximately 250 million when fully converted shares outstanding, total market capitalization is only about $7 million. We think patient investors could make a lot of money by buying the shares at these currently severely depressed levels.

ThermaFreeze Products Corp. (TZPC) – We recently received a full briefing from the ThermaFreeze management team. Additionally, the CEO and Chairman did an audio interview which can be heard here on our blog. On the right of the homepage is a section labeled “CEO Interviews”. You can hear the interview by clicking on the ThermaFreeze tab. In the interview and during our briefing, management team members are extremely positive noting that the retail chains are now beginning to carry the ThermaFreeze artificial ice product. If you have never seen the ThermaFreeze product, you should call the Company and get a sample as it is pretty amazing stuff. There is also a full research report here on the blog that explains the technology and the Company’s distribution model. Over the coming weeks look for the Company to continue to announce additional retail distribution – if the product pulls through the retail channel, the shares should do very well.

Patient Access Solutions (PASO) – Patient Access Solutions recently acquired exclusive U.S. rights to a digital pen technology and process for the home healthcare market. Home healthcare is worth billions of dollars per year and this technology could significantly improve productivity among workers within this important sector of the U.S. economy. While we have not seen a huge number of deals being signed as of yet, bid activity at the Company appears to be through the roof. As a result, the management team is meaningfully adding to the sales staff. Investors should watch closely for developments of these prospects turning into paying customers as this would signal an important stage of revenue generation for PASO. Look for the Company to be out in front of these developments over the next several weeks as contracts begin to be awarded. This is clearly a name we will be watching closely as large share price percentage gains could be realized in the short-term.

Car Charging Group, Inc. (CCGI) – We recently completed an audio interview with the management team that can be heard here on the blog. According to the management team things are moving along as planned for CCGI. Throughout 2010 you will hear a lot about electric vehicles – the charging stations are a vital component that CCGI plans to bring into the fold. We do not expect a tremendous amount of near-term news on this name, but rather slow and steady progress toward winning deals to add this vital infrastructure.

KeyOn Communications (KEYO) – As was discussed in the Company’s recent conference call, KEYO was not successful in gaining federal broadband stimulus monies. The Company’s applications now move into round two, which we do not believe will be awarded until very late summer of 2010. We consider the investment to be dead money for the next few months until additional information about the Company’s round two applications is made available.

Do you have any guidance to the shareholders as to when the audit info will be released to investors of BIEL and BMGP? Two of my favorite pinksheet stocks right now!

Joe March 22, 2010 at 6:03 am

Steve – BMGP has just finshed the accounting portion of the process and the audits are just now getting to the numbers. They say it will take about two weeks from this point. The BIEL auditor has been working on the Q4 audit for several weeks now. I suspect it will be another 3 weeks to complete. Joe

Skip March 22, 2010 at 7:29 am

Hi Joe – Will BIEL be providing any update on sales for Canada? We have been hearing new distritubtion partnership has been signed but when will we see products on shelves in Canada? Also, any update on China?

Thanks Joe.

Rick March 22, 2010 at 8:28 am

Joe,

For BIEL to be SEC compliant with full reporting don’t they have to get the audited 2009 financials (10K) released by March 31? In Andy’s interview one of the things he stressed the most was to be SEC compliant.

Steve March 22, 2010 at 8:33 am

Joe:

Any indication when BMGP’s new website will be posted? Thanks.

Joe March 22, 2010 at 9:34 am

Hi Steve – The BMGP website is a bit delayed as are many thing with web development. I am being told it is close to being launched. CEO told me a few minutes ago the beta site is supposed to be up over the next day. Development is being done in India, which often means things take a bit longer than scheduled. Joe

Joe March 22, 2010 at 9:36 am

No – The deadline is March 31 for companies that are currently fully reporting. BIEL can file at anytime to become fully reporting. Fully reporting status is acheived as of the day of the filing. Joe

Joe March 22, 2010 at 9:38 am

Skip – BIEL has been in process of changing the distro partner in Canada. The new one, Northern Response, is up and running, but the Canadian regulator had issues with the TV commercials. These have been recut and are now finished. Expect to start see thing happen relative to Canada soon as a result. Joe

Joe March 22, 2010 at 9:39 am

Steve – Relative to the BMGP audit. The accounting portion is now done. CEO is saying the actual audit part should take only a few weeks. He is pushing the process as had as possible. Joe

Steve March 22, 2010 at 9:50 am

Joe:

Thanks for the response on BMGP’s website. It appears to me the company is seriously moving ahead on multiple fronts. I appreciate your diligence in updating BMGP’s news.

Steve

cert March 22, 2010 at 10:51 am

As per my email communication with Mr. Andrew J. Whelan few mints back today , BIEL is on schedule to meet 3/31 date for the 2009 audit report and 10 K.
Anyone can validate my post just by sending an email to the company or a phone call.

Skip March 22, 2010 at 11:58 am

Thanks Joe – Great news about Canada and the new partnership with Northern Response, great move by management.

cert March 22, 2010 at 6:04 pm

Hi Joe,

Is there any reason why http://www.allaypatch.com/ website is not accessible anymore ?

Thx,
Cert

Joe March 23, 2010 at 1:29 am

It is being re-done pending FDA clearance. Joe

Joe March 23, 2010 at 1:30 am

Skip – Northern Response is a good outfit. Also has reach past Canada. Joe

Joe March 23, 2010 at 1:31 am

Steve – Thanks – I think BMGP is one of the most undervalued small caps on the market today. Availability of the IOBS is close at hand! Joe

cert March 23, 2010 at 9:10 am

Hi Joe,

Could you please let us know what do you exactly mean by “It is being re-done pending FDA clearance” ? We are not clear here and could you please clarify on the completion of 2009 full year audit status ?

Thx,
cert

Tyler March 23, 2010 at 9:48 am

Joe –
You mentioned another 3 weeks for the BIEL audit? On the last interview Whelan said it would be done by the end of the month, which is only a week and a half away. Interesting disparity there. He also said the company would have earnings that would “justify the current market cap” – so I’m expecting some good numbers. By the way, what are the numbers on the YesDTC purchasing the rights to Allay for Japan? How does BIEL benefit from this in terms of sales? Have there been any FDA meetings with management lately? Still curious as to why there has been no decision on clearance at this point.
Thanks.

Skip March 23, 2010 at 1:03 pm

Hi Joe, Could you please let us know what do you exactly mean by “It is being re-done pending FDA clearance” ?

Mike March 23, 2010 at 8:16 pm

With so many ActiPatches and Allays being sold around the world in other other markets, what the heck does the FDA have a problem with exactly? There’s a home use hair comb laser that was approved years ago, a hair removal laser that was approved years ago for home use…products like these are a much more dangerous (even though they are safe) than any of BIEL’s products.

I don’t think any investors get what the FDA’s problem is with this.

josey March 24, 2010 at 6:23 am

Joe.
First, for Clear Skies, is Ezra et al. planning to release any news of their ‘pipeline of projects’ in the near term?
We are getting killed daily on the pps. down 50% at this point (which i know you are well aware of)
Just looking for some positive news here.

And for BIEL, for the Allay Class II potential clearance.
Is the FDA getting hung up on the issue of use of the patch in an unknown pregnancy? I only ask because of any of the PEMF research i’ve been involved with, or written meta-analyses for, used pregnancy as exclusionary criteria for the studies. Hence, we’ve only had some in vitro, and some in vivo data from rat clinical trials to understand the effect of PEMF on a fetus.
Granted, my personal and professional medical belief is that it will NOT harm the fetus.
But I’m just curious if the FDA has been hesitant purely based on this potential situation.
regards
josey

Joe March 24, 2010 at 8:37 am

Josey – I too am extremely frustrated with the lack of CSKH news. It is all there however and I still believe this is a huge bargin at today’s level. I do not know of any issue relative to BIEL clearance and pregnancy. Joe

Joe March 24, 2010 at 8:43 am

Skip – We are still waiting for FDA clearance. We are redoing the site and will have it back up as soon as clearance is granted. Joe

Joe March 24, 2010 at 9:38 am

Tyler – Regarding the BIEL audit – It should be done over the next few weeks. Can’t really give you an accurate date as we do not know. As you may remember the previous audit was delayed at the last minute. I expect the full 2009 audit to be completed by approximately April 15th.

cert March 24, 2010 at 10:26 am

Hi Joe,

As I mentioned before also that Andy clearly mentioned in his email reply and in the audit interview that 2009 full year audit and 10K filling will be done by 3/31 but your statement of april 15th doesn’t sound correct to me. Could you please re-clarify that from the company one more time and let us know. In the mean time I will try to reach Andy to clarify this also.

thx,
cert

Jack March 24, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Cert,
Andy said it would be done by April 31st in a PR so Joe’s guesstimate falls right in there. Ideally it will be done by March 31st, but don’t count on it.

Murphy March 24, 2010 at 5:45 pm

What the he’ll is the big deal if it’s done 1 week later or close! The big picture is that they are executing everything they have promised and soon the company will be off te pinks and generating millions in revenue. It’s amazing how impatient some biel investors have become. Don’t forget to step back and look at the big picture.

Eddie March 25, 2010 at 4:25 am

Well said, Murphy!!!!!!!! The big picture is an ……ULTIMATE GOAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So patience is important……..

Joe March 25, 2010 at 8:16 am

Murphy – I agree with you. The BIEL team is doing a great job right now. Getting lots done! Joe

Joe March 25, 2010 at 8:18 am

Jack – We would rather under promise and under deliver here relative to delivery of the numbers and the audit – there is a huge amount at stake here – the delivery of the 2009 full audit cures many issues – it is all very exciting!!!!. ;)

Joe March 25, 2010 at 8:20 am

Cert – We are committed to deliver the audit and the year end numbers over the next few weeks. Probably by April 15th but Andy has made to promise to have all done by April 30. Joe.

goldflash March 25, 2010 at 10:47 am

Joe,

Why is Emerging Growth Research, the same company that gave BIEL a BUY recommendation and a .30 – .50 cent target last summer, also the registrant of Allaypatch.com!!!???

I was able to get this info off of whois.com, for anyone else who wants to verify the info.

“Registrant:
Emerging Growth Research

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: ALLAYPATCH.COM

Domain servers in listed order:
NS17.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS18.DOMAINCONTROL.COM”

This looks like a CLEAR conflict of interest at the very best. At the very worst, it looks like you guys have been pulling some kind of boiler room scam for the past year or so.

CARE TO EXPLAIN?????????

Murphy March 25, 2010 at 11:15 am

This looks interesting

Greg March 25, 2010 at 11:18 am

Are there any SEC rules governing a relationship such as this, between EGR, YesD and BIEL?

Greg March 25, 2010 at 11:20 am

Here’s the buy recommendation from Yahoo.

BioElectronics Corp. (OTCPK:BIEL), the maker of ActiPatch™, the drug free anti-inflammatory patch, with an embedded battery operated microchip delivering continuous pulse therapy that revolutionizes the way people heal, today announced that ***** Emerging Growth Research, LLP has issued a Buy recommendation ***** on the company’s shares through a new research report on the company. The report, which places a 12-month target price of $0.20 on the company’s shares, outlines the research firm’s belief that the Company’s sales are aggressively ramping and that positive clinical data is expected over the next few months.

Joe March 25, 2010 at 11:47 am

Goldflash – I can see the confusion. Last year a group of long term BIEL shareholders put together Allay Online Marketing LLC to market the Allay patch and to help bail BIEL out of a finanial jam. I helped organize the LLC. They needed an url so I reserved http://www.allaypatch.com for them. Not a big deal. No grand conspiracy. Allay Online Marketing was acquired by YesDTC, for which I am the CEO. YESD owns the rights to the Allay product in the US and all BIEL products in Japan. YesDTC is a fully reporting OTC company – well financed and partnered with one of the most successful DRTV firms in the world – Schulberg Media Works (www.smw.tv) We are excited to be part of the BIEL team and plan to spend quite a bit of money to bring BIEL products to market. Is a win win for all. Thanks for asking the question – I can see how it is confusing to some – Joe

Joe March 25, 2010 at 11:51 am

Hi Greg – Yes – Why is that an issue? Joe

Greg March 25, 2010 at 11:59 am

Joe, it’s actually kosher to be a company’s IR, own their web domain, distribute their products AND issue BUY ratings?

Joe March 25, 2010 at 12:03 pm

Greg – It is not BIEL’s domain name- it belongs to YesDTC which is a BIEL distributor. We do not issue buy rating any more on BIEL. What you had was months old before all this got organized. Joe

Skip March 25, 2010 at 12:07 pm

Joe – What compensation did BIEL receive for allowing YESD to own the owns the rights to the Allay product in the US and all BIEL products in Japan?

Joe March 25, 2010 at 12:16 pm

Skip – We are like any other distributor – We wil buy the product from BIEL, mark it up and then resell. We have placed an order for $150K of initial units and are making a very sizable commitment for purchases over the next year. I do not recall what the yearly requirement is but it was announced in the initial press release at the beginning of January. Joe

Greg March 25, 2010 at 12:16 pm

For propriety’s sake, I would suggest a transfer of domain ownership to BIEL. This tangled web of BIEL-YESD-EGR comingling is damaging investor confidence. Pink sheets are already scary, this type of company and personnel comingling smacks of 3-card monty to the average retail investor.

Thanks,

Greg, a concerned shareholder.

Skip March 25, 2010 at 12:19 pm

Thanks Joe, i think its a great partnership and beneficial to all in the long run. With YESD owning the Japan rights it should be exciting times for both BIEL and YESD investors.

Joe March 25, 2010 at 12:22 pm

Greg – Financing companies is tough business – we are doing creative things to get the job done. Last year BIEL was on a shoestring budget so we put the money together to help out. Investors should know that there are many wealthy people behind the BIEL story that are helping to make this company a success. It is a backing that most pinks can only dream about. But I can understand the concern. I will have the URL transfered over to YesDTC where it belongs. Good suggestion. Joe

cert March 25, 2010 at 12:57 pm

goldflash,
why are you making this as a big deal over here ? slowly this informative board is becoming like another yeahoo message board. This place is only meant for the serious investors who have done enough DD before buying this stock.
How many times to let you know that this stock will reward everyone in long term, if you had a wish to make tons of money over night then you made a mistake. Plz. move on and don’t spoil the purpose of this message board.
However, just to let you know that currently I am also down but I know I will make much more than what I invested in long term.
If you don’t have patience, then why are you investing in penny stock ???? no need to respond also..

-Cert

Skip March 25, 2010 at 1:09 pm

Hey Joe – You mention that there are “many wealthy people behind the BIEL story” can you elaborate on any of these individuals and their background. Might be a great confidence boost if we got some heavy hitters on board with us.

Thanks.

Ben March 31, 2010 at 7:50 pm

biel is overvalue. Market cap over 40million with revenue less than a million and huge outstanding shares in billions. I wonder why people still interested in biel not OPMG after losing so much money in biel. Probably biel is good at attracting peoples attention through discussion board like they did on yahoo and google board.
