NPDT Newport Digital Technologies, Inc

Newport Digital Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NPDT) (OTCQB: NPDT) announced today a strategic business agreement with TechVentures Capital Investment Corp and its principal, Roy Koo. NPDT also has become a reseller for LG Electronics (LG) Commercial Display products in the United States.




Newport Digital Technologies will focus initial sales efforts on the business-to-business commercial markets with emphasis on sports and entertainment facilities, hotels and hospitality venues and digital signage networks in retail stores. The company has already been retained by the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball to revamp their digital signage and audio systems in Petco Park to optimize the fan experience.



Koo, the founder of TechVentures Capital Investment Corp, will become a 10 percent stakeholder in NPDT through the Koo Family Trust. Koo will also be a board advisor for NPDT as the company looks to expand its presence in the U.S. digital signage market.



Through these new relationships, NPDT also plans to launch a division that will be dedicated to deploying proprietary out-of-home digital signage networks (DSNs) in select retail chains based on a recurring advertising revenue model. The company also plans to explore similar revenue-sharing alliances with existing DSNs.



NPDT CEO Donald Danks stated, "LG is one of the world's strongest brands in consumer and commercial electronics. With LG commercial display solutions, we plan to expand our digital signage marketing efforts into several large markets in the United States targeting opportunities in the hospitality, health care, retail, sports and entertainment and government and education markets.



"We plan to be opportunistic in leveraging key relationships to expand sales into these niche markets while keeping a very low fixed cost business model. We will be sharing more details about our plan for growth in these markets and our move into the out-of-home digital signage network business in the near future," Danks concluded.

Herborium Group Commences AcnEase(R) Retail Sales

SADDLE BROOK, NJ -- (Marketwire)
06/02/10
Herborium Group, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: HBRM), a Botanical Therapeutics™ company, today announced it has now successfully secured direct consumer points-of-sale for its flagship product, AcnEase®, with a recognized group of New York dermatological clinics.

"Acceptance of AcnEase by board certified dermatologist to be sold in the clinics is a major third-party validation of the therapeutic value of our product, and is an important cornerstone in building the AcnEase® brand," commented Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, Herborium Group's president and chief executive officer.

AcnEase® is a proprietary, all herbal, systemically acting botanical therapeutic targeting acne symptom in both females and males of all ages, and has been proven safe and effective through clinical testing. Test results have demonstrated that in adolescent acne, approximately 95% of patients responded positively to AcnEase. In individuals above age 31, the level of effectiveness was 80%. The overall positive response rate to AcnEase was 91%. After more than five years of online sales, Herborium has consistently registered over 95% consumer satisfaction rating (www.acnease.com).

Dr. Olszewski continued, "Expanding beyond e-commerce (internet sales) to direct consumer points-of-sale is an important milestone in our overall plan to increase AcnEase sales and brand recognition and grow market share within the US 3.5 billion over the counter medicated skin care market

"With the current surge in sales of over-the-counter nutritional and health supplements, combined with Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.'s announcement to discontinue marketing
of its leading treatment for severe acne, Accutane® (isotretinoin), and Herborium's AcnEase product's demonstrated and documented over five year history of safe and effective acne treatment, I firmly believe we have the right product, at the right time, for over 50 million acne sufferers in the USA.

"Having successfully launched our direct-to-consumer sales strategy with AcnEase in the US market , we intend to replicate this strategy to the extent justified "by market conditions" in International markets, while we prepare our next product sales initiative to access the US cosmeceutical market expected to potentially reach over $16 billion by 2010.

"Herborium is committed to continue developing a global brand with a strong international distribution network, and the acceptance of AcnEase by the dermatological community is a key development in both product branding and sales growth strategies," Dr. Olszewski concluded.

Hobo Investing

Hobo Investing
May 26, 2010

Investing, at its core, is a simple process. You need to determine if the train is going north or south, or just sitting on a track siding doing nothing. Once you’ve found a train going north, you need only to hop aboard. If the train starts to go south, you need to jump off.

The concept is simple, but sometimes investors make the execution more complicated. For us, relative strength and trend following provide the tools and methodology to find the northbound trains. The same tools and methodology can be used to tell you when the switch engine has come along and started to move the train south.

The problems happen when investors deviate from the simple goal-directed hobo mentality and get too clever for their own good. Can you imagine how irrational some investor behavior must look to a hobo? Here are the top six dysfunctional hobo sayings:

1. I wanted to go north, so I hopped on an out-of-favor southbound train, hoping it would go north eventually. (value hobo)

2. I got on a northbound train, but it only went north a few miles. A switch engine came along and started to take my boxcar south. How embarrassing! This train owes me. I’m not getting off. (ego-attached hobo)

3. There are so many trains going north. I want to hop on one eventually, but I’m afraid it will go south right after I get on it. (failure to launch hobo)

4. This northbound train is picking up speed. I’d better get off. (premature ejection hobo)

5. I want to go north, but my train pulled on to a siding and stopped. Maybe I’ll just sit here and see what happens. (buy-and-hold hobo)

6. There are so many trains going north without me. Eventually they will all have to go south, and then I’ll have my revenge! (bitter hobo with economics background)

If you want to go north, get on a northbound train. KISS really applies here. On our good days, we all know this, but it’s so easy to forget.

Herborium Group (HBRM)

Herborium Group, Inc. Focuses on a Lucrative Botanical Therapeutics Market

SADDLE BROOK, NJ -- (Marketwire)
05/28/10
Herborium Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HBRM) (www.herborium.com), a botanical therapeutics® company that develops, licenses and markets all natural, herbal medicinal products, has focused its efforts on developing aggressive routes of taping into $33 billion over the counter alternative medicine market in the USA and over a trillion USD global market for alternative and complementary medicine.

The Company business model focuses on emerging market opportunities spearheaded by the growth of a new market sector located between high-cost, high-risk, ethical pharmaceuticals and commoditized classic nutraceuticals (supplements). The Company uses clinical validation and a proactive regulatory strategy based on the FDA Guidance for Industry: Botanical Drug Products (FDA Guidance 2004) to establish and maintain a differential advantage.

Herborium pipeline of botanical therapeutics in the sectors of dermatology (Acne -- global market is over 55 Billion USD and over 60 million Americans are diagnosed and affected yearly by different forms of acne -- www.acnease.com), women's and men's health, including BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia affects over half of male population at the age of 50+) and liver health, belong to the most growing category of CAM products (self care costs) that reached $22 Billion in the US last year with majority going to purchase of non-vitamin, and non-mineral products.

"With the conversion of such factors as health economics
, directing consumers to spend money on prevention and on non ethical products (lower insurance coverage) and to pharmaceutical companies being forced to remove drugs from the market for safety reasons (La Roche and Accutane for acne or Vioxx for pain), Herborium is ideally positioned to take advantage of those emerging market opportunities," said Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, President of Herborium Group. "During last four months we have focused our activities on preparing to penetrate new markets with our existing products including targeting of foreign markets. We have signed or are in final stage of negotiating new distribution agreements in the USA and abroad that will greatly increase our customer base. We expect that our bottom line will significantly benefit from those initiatives in 2010 and 2011," continues Dr. Olszewski.

"We are also planning to introduce new and complementary products. We are especially excited about expected product line extension in the field of dermatology with a product targeting acne," adds Dr. Olszewski

"While securing additional resources we plan to address needs of consumers and health providers that look for highly efficient, proven safe and effective all natural alternatives in treatment and prevention of number of health problems and concerns," concludes Dr. Olszewski
