I see it more and more as I learn more and more regarding the news/dilution scenario. That is why it is getting harder and harder for me to play the game especially with pinks. TMAN...

Will nice post. Very good DD. I see from your analysis, I know next to nothing. I'll be on the lookout for QMMG at below .005 as you say. and will back in CBAY on a dip. say .011/.013 thanks. recall I lost my daytrade privlidge with scottrade with too many daytrades months ago. my acct is still at $7K (Bought a $4K stereo that lowered my acct) need to get to $25K to get day trade status. I'll get there with the right moves, maybe in 6 months. IMR selling at 70 cents will win a court case this summer, thats a 4 X bagger. FASC target for me is .025 and will catch it back on the dip in late friday sell off at .017. CCMI is another good pick. I'd love for her to dip back to .013 level. PR's should come this month. later Paul
-------------------- Do not invest on any of my suggestions

Some conditions carry more weight than others too. Even diluted issues run, so timing and news can affect them. I elect to not play news, and stay away from diluted issues. Companies have a habit of diluting into good news also, how often have you seen a price decline on a positive PR? Also, bad news isn't always bad.

Damn fine advice! Looking for these signs will definitely help traders with getting through the chaff and closer to the wheat. Thanks Will. TMAN...
Turned my trading life around when I started following those guidelines. Thanks will.

2:20 – 2:55 pm Pilot Testing of the Micronex System to Produce a Class A Biosolids Presenting Author(s): Marco Fornari, City of Prince George and John Boyle, P.Eng.,Dayton & Knight Ltd
Other Author(s): Norm Gobbi, A.Sc.T., City of Prince George and Babak Rezania, Ph.D., E.I.T., Dayton & Knight Ltd., Sundar Narayan, Ph.D., P.Eng. and David Dungate, M.Eng., both from First American Scientific Corporation
This paper presents the findings of a full scale pilot study to assess the feasibility of using the Micronex system to produce a Class A Biosolids.
The Micronex system consists of a rotating mechanism inside a vertical cylinder through which dewatered biosolids are passed. Temperatures inside the cylinder are high enough to produce a Class A Biosolids in a relatively short time. The Micronex process is not presently recognized as a Class A process under the Municipal Sewage Regulation. As part of the acceptance protocol, the Ministry of Environment requires that additional testing occur by spiking samples entering the Micronex unit with ascaris eggs and with the polio virus.
The paper documents the pilot study process and the results from the spike testing work. Analyses of the spiked data were carried out by Kari Kitzmorris, Sc.D., MSPH, Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University and Janie Liotta, B.S. from the Parasitology Laboratory at Cornell University in Ithica, New York, under the direction of Bob Reimers, Ph.D., QEP, Professor from Tulane University in New Orleans. The City of Prince George retained Ron Thring, Ph.D., P.Eng., Chair, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering Programs, from the University of Northern British Columbia to carry out an independent review of the pilot test work. Tests to date indicate that the Micronex system can consistently produce a Class A Biosolids. The economical feasibility of the system is currently being assessed.

By the 14th some 5000+ people of Prince George have to object to funding the of the City Wastewater Treatment Centre Micronex or it appears as though the funding will be approved by the local government. Things definitely are slow in FASCland right now but there definitely is something happening behind the scenes. In time this issue may get very interesting.
Thanks for your email - I hope to have the sessions put up on our website by early next week. They will be found on our Annual Conference & Trade Show page: http://www.bcwwa.org/AGM/index.php

Tonight is the town hall meeting for Prince George, B.C., and 5000+ residents are going to have to submit their opposition to Loan Authorization Bylaw 7923 for the city to not spend $650,000 on a Waste Water Treatment Centre Micronex, whose job it will be to grind/dry biosolids into a Class A fertilizer. Also, hopefully, the biosolids can be combined with pine beetle killed timber to create a source of electricity. B.C. is going crazy green these days (gotta love that) and this could be huge...in B.C., at least.
Also, look for the paper to show up on http://www.bcwwa.org/AGM/BCWWA_Papers_2007.php with regards to the KDS Micronex and the pilot project at Prince George to determine the ability of the KDS Micronex to turn biosolids into a Class A Fertilzer. The papers for Tuesday afternoon (session 24) are not up yet but should be soon.

Thanks but I'm down 50% on my investment and I've been talking about this stock all the way down.
I like the company as much as ever though....hopefully Prince George is just the start of big things.
Maybe it won't even be the start (ie./ something happens on another front first.)
This company has a lot of irons in the fire, and management has a lot of years under their belt of being at the helm. Things could happen rather quickly from here on out...jmo....GLTA

We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding the City of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist in solving its environmental cleanup problems with sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex system. This will be the first operation of its kind in the world where the strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can now be cleaned, bagged and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment. The initial runs will be monitored for two months, and if satisfactory, the city will establish a permanent facility and purchase up to 4 KDS Micronex machines. To date all trial runs have been satisfactory and many adjustments have been made to accommodate the efficient processing of the sewage sludge. The project is now entering Phase 2 which will commence in October 2007.

We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist them at their Waste Water Treament Plant in solving their environmental cleanup process of sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex System. This will be the first operation of its kind in the worls where strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can be cleaned, bagged, and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment. The initial runs are being monitored and evaluated by the University of BC, and if acceptable, the City will establish a permanent facility utilizing up to four KDS machines. To date, all trial runs have been satisfactory, and after making many modifications, we have reached the Phase I goal of “proof of concept”, as reported by Dayton & Knight P.Eng.’s the City’s project engineers.
Phase Two is expected to begin this fall where we will build a commercial scale model to be perfected and sold to Prince George as a show piece and, hopefully to other like sized municipalities in the region.

Brazil - Proposed Joint Venture & License Agreement
On April 18, 2006 we announced the signing of an Agreement in Principle to form a joint venture to be named First American Scientific Brazil Ltda. These negotiations will not be finalized until the test machine sent to Brazil is fully operational and evaluated. The machine was delivered in June 2007, but is not set up yet. Target date for commissioning is October 2007. We believe this project will produce excellent results processing bagasse and other agricultural waste.

Malaysia - FASCM Joint Venture & License Agreement
On July 8, 2004, we granted an exclusive license for 21 years to First American Scientific Corp (Malaysia) Bhd. Sdn., to market the KDS system in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. FASCM purchased one KDS machine and set up a fully operational demonstration plant in Malaysia. Under the agreement, we will receive a royalty for each machine manufactured and sold in the territory and will share 50% in any excess profits from the operation. There was one sale in Malaysia to date, but the equipment was recovered when payment was not forthcoming. Two new projects are at the quotation stage.
This is a very solid, well financed operation in which we hold a 50% interest. The Malaysians are currently raising money privately to build a $1.3 million plant to process fibre which will be sold to China.

Japan - JP Steelplantech Co. License Agreement
On September 26, 2005, we signed an exclusive license agreement for manufacturing and marketing the KDS System in Japan with JP Steelplantech Company of Yokohama, Japan. As part of the agreement JP Steel has paid an up front licensing fee and purchased and installed a fully operational KDS at its facility in Yokohama to be used for sales demonstrations and research purposes. Under the agreement, we will receive a royalty for each machine manufactured and sold in Japan. Marketing efforts are now underway, but there have been no sales yet to customers in Japan.
JP Steel Plantech Co. is a well established engineering and equipment manufacturing company owned by four Japanese steel industry companies; Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), Hitachi Zosen (HITZ), JFE Engineering (JFE) and Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI).
While JP Steel Plantech is diligently working with the equipment documenting every component of the system, they have yet to aggressively enter the marketing phase and have not sold any equipment to date. Nonetheless, we are encouraged by their work and believe this will be very valuable to us over the long term. They are also working with our patent attorneys to finalize the examination process.

Bagasse = carbon neutral. So are wood pellets, believe it or not. So, FASC might find quite a niche being a part of the emerging carbon trading market.
If you haven't been following the debate surrounding capping and trading emissions, you're missing out. Not only does it have implications for how our nation, and the world, produces energy, it has the potential to offer a myriad of opportunities for well-informed investors.
You see, California has been asking for permission to regulate greenhouse gas emissions since 2004, but the philistines at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have yet to grant it permission to do so.
For quite some time the EPA's excuse was that they didn't have the power to regulate emissions. That's funny--greenhouse gases harm the environment and the EPA is supposed to protect the environment. Maybe they should consider a name change.
Now, back in April the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA did in fact have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Like we didn't see that one coming.
After that decision, you'd expect everything to be rosy. But this administration doesn't make anything easy, even obeying Supreme Court decisions. So here we are, a substantial time since that decision, and the EPA still hasn't given California--and the eleven other states that would do so--permission to regulate emissions.
And while it would be nice to have the federal government's support, it looks like the rest of America is ready to move on without it.
Already, corporate behemoths like General Electric, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson and others have come together to form the United States Climate Action Partnership.
Even oil juggernauts like Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips have joined this coalition, which calls itself "an expanding alliance of major businesses and leading climate and environmental groups that have come together to call on the federal government to enact legislation requiring significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions."
Now you can be certain the environmental groups that are a part of this alliance are there with pure intentions, but I'm willing to bet some of those companies are looking for a way to make a buck from the capping of emissions.
Carbon Market Potential
According to a recent New York Times article, carbon trading is one of the "fastest-growing specialties in financial services." And companies are scrambling to get "a slice of a market now worth about $30 billion and that could grow to $1 trillion within a decade."
The article, entitled, "In London's Financial World, Carbon Trading Is the New Big Thing," continues: "Carbon will be the world's biggest commodity market, and it could become the world's biggest market over all."
If you doubt that assertion, consider this: Every year humans generate about 38 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
At its current price of about $3.50 per ton, the potential carbon market stands at roughly $133 billion (38 billion x $3.50). That's today.
As more and more governments start to regulate their country's emissions, and as more companies - just as we're seeing in the US--start to voluntarily limit their emissions, the demand for available carbon credits will skyrocket. And so will their price!
One need only revert to the simple law of supply and demand to see that this industry is going to be huge. If increased demand dictates an increase in price, getting in now could be one of the wisest investment moves you make in the first half of this century.

First American Scientific Corp. Reports the Sale of Two KDS Micronex Systems in December 2007
Cal Kantonen, Chairman of First American Scientific Corp. (OTCBB: FASC) is pleased to report the company has sold and shipped two KDS systems during the month of December 2007. An order for a third machine has also been received and the equipment is currently being fabricated. The first system was delivered to a group in Quebec, Canada for pulverizing construction waste and the second was delivered to a group in Mexico who plan to process agricultural waste and other biomass for use in their current business operations. Both machines will be commissioned on site in January 2008 and are expected to be fully operational by February. The third sale should complete this quarter.
According to Brian Nichols, President of FASC, "We are finally attracting serious attention from the alternative energy sector. The KDS equipment's ability to remove water while pulverizing and cleansing wood and agricultural waste has proven to be a valuable pre-treatment for end users who are developing biofuels from agri-waste. We have now sold 5 systems in the last 6 months, three sales completed and 2 sales in process, so our outlook for the future is definitely positive."
First American Scientific Corp. is the owner of a unique patented disintegration system, the KDS Micronex System, which is capable of cost effectively converting biomass and agri-waste, including animal waste, sewage, and forestry waste into a fine dry combustible powder which can be burnt in specialized dust burners, pelletized into fuel pellets or used in the process of creating biofuels.
Other applications for the KDS include reducing and drying various grades of mineral rock such as clay, zeolite, gypsum and limestone into a fine dry powder suitable for cosmetics and fertilizers. Please see our web site for further details.

So...it would seem FASC is getting the word out about their company being involved in ethanol production somehow without us shareholders even having a clue as to what is up...interesting, although somewhat frustrating...but I do expect to be hearing something soon.
A picture featured there is of a crew from Japan Steel Plantech, a company with 360 million US in revenues. They've been a licensee since late 2005 and has been quietly testing the KDS Micronex for some time. It would appear as though the KDS Micronex still is part of their plans...see the bottom of this link (for which I've used a Google translated page.) (Page is copyright 2008)
It would appear as though there may be some exciting things in the works...but it's not as if the company is not making a few sales of its machine in the meantime. Below is their last PR.
• Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers, Raymond, Minn., to research the application of a new, energy-efficient technology to process a variety of biomass feedstock to expand the resource options for biomass energy production, $1 million.
Proposal: Researching the Use of KDS (Kinetic Disintegration System) to Process Various Feedstocks for Biomass Pelletization Use
The project research centers on designing and fabricating changes in machinery originally used for pulverizing ores and minerals to process and pelletize various feedstocks for renewable energy applications. The resulting pellet products will be used for energy production by co-firing with coal, in combined heat and power (CHP) applications, for gasification, and/or used in biofuel production. Examples of feedstocks that will be explored include sweet corn silage, distiller’s grain, sorghum and millet, municipal byproducts (trees, grass clippings) paper sludge, and switchgrass.
