Gerald I ran a patent search on ozone related patents. CycloPSS has a patent for luandry ozone injection systems(#5625915). If you look through the list of ozone related patents I think you will find there have been many recent additions, although not by CycloPSS. I did not check them all to see if CycloPPS had any patents in the food processing area. Even if they don't I was nonetheless enthused to see a great number of ozone related patents. Why would I say that if CycloPPS hasn't got the patents? It's simple. This recent interest in ozone patents indicates to me that we have alot of growth potential for various applications for what AJ refers to as a luandry company. The very fact that CycloPPS has experience in the laundry field gives them a headstart on the competition. Anyway here are those patents if you want to look at : patent.womplex.ibm.com For all the new investors interested in OZON please do your due diligence. What every investor should be aware of is the old buy low and sell high maxim. It seems to me that when AJ has bought stock in OZON it has only been on days where the company recieved extraordinary coverage by one form of media or another. That is not a reasonable way to invest. However it just might work alright with this stock except that AJ sells his stock before the next media event. Then to compound his mistake he buys whenever ozone is in the news again. I think even AJ is figuring this out when he advises new investors to buy at 2 rather than what he has done in the past. That at least may be good advice.
One thing is for certain though and that is that the company is working towards a number of goals outside of the laundry business. Still in all likelihood the next contract announcement will probably still be laundry related. After all they have already sold a number of systems in that area. At any rate I would think any period where the stock falls back due to lack of news should be viewed as buying opportunities. So what are they working on? I took this list from the last quarterly report:
The plan of operation during the next twelve (12) months includes the following:
1. Aggressively market the Company's Ozone Laundry Systems to the Health care market and the commercial and Industrial Laundry marketplaces.
2. Continue research and development, testing and implementation of ozone systems for the food processing industries. Ozone was recently given the status of "generally regarded as safe" or "GRAS" by FDA.
3. Continue testing and validation and initiate sales and installation of the Company's Health care Ozone Laundry Systems with Health care providers in the United States and Internationally.
4. Complete design and development and embark upon marketing of the Company's Ozone Laundry Systems for institutional users such as hotels, resorts, prisons, etc.
5. Continue to increase marketing, sales and installation of the Company's VAC laundry counting and sorting systems to commercial, industrial, institutional and Health care customers.
6. Complete validation testing of the Company's liquid chemical sterilant, SterOxTM, preparatory to completion of a licensing agreement with an
established medical product manufacturing/marketing company and/or preparation and submission of a 510(k) Premarket Notification to the FDA.
7. Produce data and design elements in support of desired labeling claims for FDA officials reviewing the Company's 510(k) Premarket Notification for the STER- O3-ZONE 100TM.
8. Continued development of products and enhancements for the Company's textile operations.
9. Increased marketing and continued growth of contract research and development within the BioChemical group and the ongoing manufacture and sales of their current and future products.
10. Engage brokerage firms to assist the Company in more effectively marketing its shares to the investing public, including the preparation of an analyst report on the Company and its technologies.
11 Seek additional capital. With additional financing in place, there may be additional diversification of the Company's business activities through future acquisitions or product development. Company has entered into an engagement agreement with First Financial Investment Securities, Inc., a registered broker dealer firm with headquarters in Austin, Texas. |
