Ok gang. Here is the news that I promised. From my own correspondence with Paul, as well as a co-workers correspondence, I have been informed that a PR in regards to Calbatech’s marketing strategy is in the works for later this week or sometime next week per this email I received from a co-worker.

Paul, I hope all is well. I wanted to get in touch because I had received word from a fellow shareholder that Calbatech would be issuing PR sometime next week in regards to their Marketing strategy with the microbanks. I was hoping you might clarify this rumor for me. Is a PR to keep the shareholders up to date on this Marketing strategy in the works for the near future? As always, thank you for your time and help! It is greatly welcomed and appreciated! Subject: Re: Calbatech Marketing Strategy I am trying to do something for them.

Thanks, Subject: Re: Calbatech Marketing Strategy right; soonest. paul
----------------------------------
So that takes care of the PR in regards to the Marketing Strategy. If anyone has an opinion about this, please feel free to state it. M and myself feel it means that Paul was agreeing that a PR would be coming out this or next week. “right; soonest”
My own correspondence with Paul was in regards to the date of the financials and is below.

I think you hit the nail on the head. People want instant results. This company is being built by smart, entrepreneurial, scientific-minded people for the long term. The company had to test all aspects of its microbank services -- remember what it is bringing to the marketplace is both new and unique -- and it was more important to make sure everything worked properly than to hit an arbitrary date for the launch.
The financials were issued last year on August 12 and these dates tend to trend the same annually.
Hope this helps.

OK. Last year the financials were released on Friday August 12th. This year the financials in my opinion will be coming out on the 11th if they release them on Friday, or Monday the 13th.
So what does all of this mean. IMHO, it means that we should be expecting a PR possibly sometime this week, but more than likely very early next week, followed with financials at the end of the week. I will remind everyone that it is fully LEGAL for a company to issue a release date for their financials, so when Paul says that it will trend the same as last year, it will. If you take this in combination with the fact that I personally have been in contact with several companies in regards to Email campaigns once the PR and Financials hit “and not the buy now crap like those P&D sites, but legit services that alert news to subscribers/members about undervalued companies and that’s all” and as of this moment, IMHO, we will begin the next run at the teens. With the recent MM’s consolidation, they now have enough shares to let this break past a dime, which is why IMHO, I say the teens.
Quest, as always, I know you will be confirming all of this correspondence with Paul. Please do so to validate it for the readers of this thread. Everyone else, take it with a grain of salt, but again, IMHO, this thing is about to go. I hope this is as good of news as I promised last night and was worth the wait. GLTA!!!!
Wednesday, 2nd August 2006 Parents to store stem cells in private lab Roland Hancock A £1m private lab to store babies' stem cells is set to open in Manchester.
Parents will pay about £1,600 for the cells to be taken from the umbilical cord, frozen and stored until their child reaches adulthood.
Clients hope advances in medical science could one day allow doctors to use the cells to treat serious illnesses.
Advertisement your story continues below More than 11,000 parents have paid to freeze stem cells from their newborn babies since the service became commercially available in Britain.
Ballet dancer Darcey Bussell and footballer Thierry Henry are among the celebrities who have chosen to pay for the service.
Stem cells have the potential to transform themselves into other human cells, including brain, heart and liver tissue.
But critics claim only one in 20,000 babies is likely to need them for treatment.
And the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists only recommends the practice for families with a high risk of passing on genetic disorders.
The new lab, near Manchester University, will open in two months and will be run by UK Cord Blood Bank.
Extraction
It will be able to store up to 100,000 samples.
Parents will pay £650 for the extraction and £50 a year storage fees. Blood will be siphoned from the placenta after the birth and the stem cells will then be extracted before being frozen at minus 196 C in liquid nitrogen on to a plate the size of a credit card.
The company hopes to store cells from women in Europe and the Middle East.
Dr Peter Hollands, who founded the lab, also plans to set up a public bank of stem cells, where women can donate stem cells to treat anybody with a life-threatening disease.
Dr Hollands, who was part of the team behind the world's first test-tube baby, Louise Brown from Oldham, said: "We were drawn to Manchester because of the university and because of its fantastic commitment, not least in the financial commitment to such a great lab space.
"Tests have already shown that we can take these cells and make nerve cells, insulin, and muscle cells. We can do all the things that embryonic stem cells can do."
In a recent report, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said there was "insufficient evidence" to support commercial storage, but it did recommend a national store for babies at risk of genetic diseases.
The European Group on Ethics in Science and Technology said the centres raised "serious ethical criticisms" as cord stem cells at present have no medical use.

Reminder for anyone who may not know whats going on the next two weeks.
LifeStem, Inc. will begin operations of its Adult Stem Cell Microbank(TM) collection service on August 15th 2006. LifeStem's Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Service is the nation's first service to collect micro quantities of adult stem cells from multiple tissue sources. "We have completed the validation of our protocols to guarantee that our service will run smoothly at the time of launch," said James DeOlden, CEO. "LifeStem and its partners are now satisfied with the vitality and viability of the cells that have been collected."
A number of individuals have already expressed interest in being the first to store their stem cells with LifeStem once the Service has begun. The company will begin enrolling clients immediately. LifeStem will also begin its marketing efforts immediately to take advantage of the time between today's date and the 15th of August to schedule other individual's stem cell harvests. CalbaTech's wholly owned subsidiary LifeStem has developed a unique process[COLOR="Red"](this is where the patent pending is related I believe)[/COLOR] to harvest stem cells from two tissue sources, in micro quantities, to be cryopreserved for possible future therapeutic use. The collection of stem cells from two different tissue sources increases the potential for possible treatment options of more diseases[COLOR="red"][/COLOR]

it won't take much to get us to the dime but the catalyst to bust the .10 wall down needs to be pretty healthy...once the dime drops its off to the races for sure....and knowing now they will be profitable in 2006 (per CEO) then this little cookie can really hit the high marks especially for the sector they specialize in.

For August---the financials should be out on or before the 12th of August, its obvious they intend on a marketing campaign which may start shortly but will probably start with PR's on the 15th for the opening of the stem cell banks.Marketing will definitely draw some outside attention to this company where as some investors who have never heard of CalbaTech may take notice.

Looks like we have a bullish engulfing pattern here.
Last time it ran for 4 days from 0.03 to almost 0.07, traded sideways for another 4 or so then ran up to around 10 cents. Not saying it wil again, but looks promising.

To a large degree, we believe that the adult stem cell collection and storage market mirrors the cosmetic surgery market, with its emphasis on proactive and preventative healthcare. People likely to have cosmetic surgery are concerned about quality of and longevity of life, they are health conscious, college-educated, and tend to seek non-traditional medical services. To this end, in December 2005, we signed a distribution agreement with Solana MedSpas, a developer and syndicator of medical spas, with 25 medspas currently open and operating and plans for more than 50 additional locations to open during 2006. In accordance with this agreement, adult stem cell collections will be performed at medspa locations using our Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Service. We are also working to contract with physician's offices to carry our Stem Cell MicroBank(TM) Service and believe that cosmetic surgeons, cardiologists, and orthopedists will be excellent distribution sites. With these agreements, we believe we will be ready to make an explosive entry into this marketplace as we perform the first collections in June.
