The first complete "Web 2.0 Office" technology for the enterprise. Blogtronix is unified platform combining enterprise blogging, Wiki, and social networking as well as advanced features like AJAX authoring in a secure enterprise portal. Blogging is a huge phenomenon but many "point" products for blogging, Wiki, and Internet data sharing are too insecure, ineffective across organizations, and lacking in enterprise administration capabilities.

Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. is applying stem cell technology in the field of regenerative medicine to bring effective, patient-specific therapies to the bedside. The company’s Myoblast program is an autologous adult stem cell therapy for the treatment of heart disease. The Myoblast program has successfully completed four Phase I clinical trials and has clearance from the FDA to begin Phase II trials shortly. The company is also rapidly moving towards human clinical trials for its embryonic stem cell therapies including its RPE and HG programs. ACT published positive data from animal studies for its RPE (retinal pigment epithelial) cell program for the treatment of retinal degenerative disorders completed in collaboration with the Casey Eye Institute at Oregon Health and Science University. The company also has GLP Safety Studies in process for its RPE Program. ACT published positive data in the journal NATURE Methods for its HG (hemangioblast) cell program for the treatment of blood and cardiovascular diseases. The company expects to file INDs for its RPE and HG programs in 2008. In August 2006, ACT announced a novel technique to generate embryonic stem cell lines without destroying embryos, a breakthrough in the ethical debate surrounding the industry. Less than one year later, the company announced the creation of a human embryonic stem cell line without destroying the embryo. ACT owns or licenses over 380 patents and patent applications.  www.advancedcell.com

Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. (GBA) has been developing gyroplane technology since 1986 and is recognized as the world's leading authority on autorotative flight. GBA developed the world's first commercially viable modern gyroplane -- the first "autogiro" to utilize a jet engine -- the Hawk 4 Gyroplane powered by a Rolls-Royce gas turbine engine. The Hawk 4 was used extensively for security aerial patrol missions during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. GBA announced in December, 2006 that a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the government of Aragón, Spain to form a joint venture (JV) to complete FAA certification, production, marketing, and delivery of GBA's Hawk 5 Gyroplane, based on the Hawk 4 prototype.

GBA announced in October, 2005 that the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) selected a GBA-led team to design a proof of concept high speed, long range, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft designed for use in Combat Search and Rescue roles. GBA's contract, a fifteen-month $6.4 million award to develop the preliminary design and perform key technology demonstrations, is Phase One of the potential multi-year $40 million four-phase program. This modern rotorcraft, named by DARPA as the "Heliplane" is designed to exploit GBA's gyrodyne technology, offering the VTOL capability of a helicopter, the fast forward flight of an airplane, and the safety, simplicity and reliability of a GBA gyroplane. This aircraft type could be the next generation rotor wing aircraft, meeting economy and performance goals not considered achievable by any other type of VTOL aircraft. GBA and DARPA recently completed a system requirements review on the rotor and are now involved in meeting the Milestone 5 objectives of Phase One.

Further information about the Company, its products, and individual members of the GBA Team is available on the Company's web site at: www.groenbros.com.
