Dec 09, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Orbit Brands (OBBCQ: Pink Sheets) stock closed up 11% yesterday on volume of over 23 million shares The company recently announced it was taking positive steps in its proposed restructuring. The Company's proposed plan of reorganization was filed with the Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles and noticed to its creditors on October 6, 2005. As part of the plan, the Company proposes that the interests of common shareholders in the Company will not be impaired. The proposed plan is subject to amendment by the Company and additional input from the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Office of the United States Trustee, and must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
Universal Express (OTCBB-USXP) shares closed up 50% yesterday on heavy volume of 834 million shares after the Company announced it has come to an agreement with Astro Datensysteme AG (www.astro.de), and Astro's United States sister company Security IT Vision, Inc. (SECITV) located in California and Germany to the joint development of an existing Astro technology. One of these projects will be located in the United States and one will be internationally based, with numerous additional locations being considered. The international project will have a contract guaranteeing over 100,000,000 Euro. Universal Express will be licensed to use the Astro Datensysteme AG identification system for use overseas and in the United States. These two projects alone should gross over 240 million in equivalent euro dollar revenues.
Additional contracts with foreign governments are expected to follow, along with various exclusive contracts and governmental guarantees. SECITV has also embarked on an exclusive fingerprint, identification and cutting edge BioSmart card technology product for Luggage Express and Universal Express's postal association members in North America.
"Initially, we approached Astro Datensysteme AG to differentiate and augment the security of our Luggage Express business. By contracting with them, our goal was to enhance their identification business, generate an American presence and to assist Universal Express in its profitability and International awareness; making it a win-win for all involved," said Richard Altomare, CEO and Chairman of Universal Express, Inc.
"Universal Express will initially invest 5.5 MM Euro over time to realize the rights to this overseas contract, and based on governmental guarantees will have access to 100% of the cash flow and to a majority of the profits of both projects from SECITV. Obviously, the technological, financial and administrative advantages of this alliance should add to our ability to qualify for larger acquisitions 'and in time' another potential trading venue," concluded Mr. Altomare.

The Coalition for Luggage Security Suggests Charging for Carry-on Luggage Business Wire - December 14, 2005 14:23
NEW YORK, Dec 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Coalition for Luggage Security announced today it applauds Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska for his suggestion to reduce the number of bags that passengers may carry on board airliners from two to one. This would give the screeners more time to check fewer items and speed up the boarding and deboarding process. His proposal was included in an article published in the New York Times on Tuesday December 13, 2005 by Mathew L. Wald. (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/13/politics/13planes.html)
"The Coalition suggests charging for carry-on bags. This would help eliminate costly and time critical security checks during the boarding process by using these fees as a deterrent. This could be added to a long list of other services that are presently being charged as outlined in a Mercury News article entitled, 'Air Travelers face long list of new costs'. Curb side check in, $2.00 per bag; Tip to Skycap, $1.00 per bag; Suitcases over 50lbs, $25.00; Over sized suitcases, $100 per bag; More than 2 checked bags, $80 per bag," said Harvey Abelson, Coalition Director. (http://origin.dfw.com/mld/mercurynews/living/travel/13231427.htm? source=rss&channel=mercurynews_travel) (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.)
"Travelers could be charged for bringing carry-on bags. Perhaps, they could even give those without carry-on bags a discount. Imagine what airports and the TSA could do with the extra screeners and equipment then left available. We could even start screening all cargo and suitcases that go into the hold of passenger airliners," concluded Mr. Abelson.
"This formula could lead to more secure flights, more revenue for cash strapped airlines, and faster check-in for travelers. We still believe that separating passengers from their luggage (http://www.usxp.com/securitywp.pdf) by having the suitcases removed totally from the traveling process is the future of air travel in this country," concluded Richard Altomare, Founder and President of the Coalition for Luggage Security and CEO and Chairman of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP.)

He must have some strong financial partners, if this will become reality.
Okay, he told a lot all day long the last years, but maybe there's a chance that he will get USXP back up again. The last few news seems to be of better quality than his average news the last time.

Universal Express Clarifies 100MM Euro Contract Friday December 16, 10:28 am ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2005--Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP - News). In anticipation of our Wednesday Webcast, Universal Express has today clarified the projected revenues from its 100MM Euro Astro contract. ADVERTISEMENT
As the proformas have now been created by the Investment Banking Firm, we are able to project that Universal Express should generate approximately 61,510,000 Euro in profits from this contract," said Alfredo Walker, Project Manager.
"Universal Express is required to pay only 5,500,000 Euro for this project, and based on their proformas and potential return anticipates very little difficulty in achieving that sum of money," stated Richard Altomare, CEO and Chairman of Universal Express, Inc.
"This project guaranteed by a foreign government adds to our fundability, but will not generate revenues until April of 2006 as the set-up and start-up will take a period of time to commence," concluded Mr. Altomare.
