SGLS(.0172) Obtains $150,000 Line of Unsecured Financing 4/16/2007
CASSELBERRY, FL and CHAMPLIN, MN, Apr 16, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Signature Leisure, Inc. (OTCBB: SGLS) announced today that the company has obtained a line of unsecured financing in the amount of $150,000.
Stephen W. Carnes, President of Signature Leisure, Inc., stated, "Due to cash flows within Signature's Investor Relations Division, outside financing sources are used primarily as a back-up facility and to accelerate growth, not to fund daily operations. However, we are pleased that our growing revenues have resulted in an increase in the availability of credit to the Company."
Carnes further stated, "Signature has not completed a draw down under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) since September 2006. What this means is that Signature has not sold or issued any stock under terms of the SEDA since September 2006. Management has not had the desire to utilize the SEDA at recent share prices, which would further dilute the market. This line of unsecured financing provides another source of capital which will not dilute the market of Signature's stock."

SFSH(.10) Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End Results for 2006 4/16/2007
ENGLEWOOD, FL, Apr 16, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- SinoFresh HealthCare, Inc. (OTCBB: SFSH), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
Revenue in 2006 was $1,083,576, compared to $2,939,189 in 2005. Revenue for the fourth quarter 2006 was $310,490 as compared to $639,739 for the same period in 2005. The decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the lack of funds available for marketing and advertising, the loss of distribution to Wal-Mart and also due to inferior label claims as a result of a change of its nasal product to the health and beauty aid category in late 2005. In late 2006, the Company reformulated its nasal spray under homeopathic guidelines in order to enhance the product's capabilities and to broaden label claims.
Total operating expenses for 2006 were $2,129,963 compared to $3,608,139 in 2005. Operating expenses for fourth quarter 2006 were $536,461 as compared to $770,214 in the fourth quarter of 2005. The decreases for both periods are a result of reduced salaries and other compensation attributable to specific cost reduction programs. The change for fiscal year 2006 was also affected by a reduction in legal fees related to a lawsuit, which was favorably resolved in early 2006 and also due to the lack of any significant marketing and advertising or research and development activities.
Total other expense (net) for 2006 was $3,379,439 compared to $289,944 in 2005. Other expense (net) for fourth quarter 2006 was $2,924,168 as compared to other income (net) of $219,485 in the fourth quarter of 2005. The 2006 fiscal year and fourth quarter amounts include a charge of $2,409,401 for what the Company determined to be an impairment in the carrying value of its goodwill. Also included in the 2006 other expense amounts is a penalty of approximately $397,000 related to the default on outstanding debentures that were due in December 2006. The 2005 fiscal and fourth quarter other income/expense amounts included an award of approximately $390,000 that resulted in the favorable outcome of lawsuit settlement.
Net loss for 2006 was $4,963,031 ($0.31 per basic share) as compared to $1,833,508 ($.13 per basic share) in 2005. The fourth quarter loss was $3,304,144 in 2006 and $93,366 in 2005.
Working capital deficit is approximately $4.3 million, as of December 31, 2006.
"We are working very diligently to obtain outside sources of financing which will enable us to appropriately expose our products to a greater portion of our potential consumer base and to further our scientific agenda. We anticipate that the recent reformulation and associated labeling changes of our lead nasal product will stimulate interest from new consumers that browse retailers' shelves," stated Charles Fust, SinoFresh Chairman and CEO.

UDTT(.0053) Reports Record Annual Revenues Since Entering Bio-Defense Field Company Reports Results for Year 2006 (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UDTT) -- Universal Detection Technology is pleased to announce today that its annual revenues for the year ending December 31, 2006 jumped to their highest level in five years at $111,515.00. In the previous year, the Company had no revenues from the sale of its devices. Furthermore, due to increased revenue and significant cost-cutting measures, the loss per share decreased to $0.03 per share from $0.07 per share. The 2006 Net loss was calculated on a weighted average of 86,650,120 shares outstanding. The revenue was derived primarily from the sale off Anthrax Detection Systems. The company now counts the United States Army, The British Government, and other defense firms as customers for its bioterrorism defense products.
"We are very pleased to have begun revenue recognition from the sale of our BSM-2000 anthrax detection systems for the first year since we began development of our anthrax monitors," stated Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology. "Having a record year like this one is a significant milestone for this company as we continue to market our counter-terrorism products and services."
BSM-2000 is UDTT's line of real-time bacterial spore detectors co-developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The device is used to monitor the air continuously and to sound an alarm if elevated levels of spores such as anthrax are detected. UDTT holds an international exclusive license to the detection technology deployed in BSM-2000. The Company recently sold two units of BSM-2000 to the government of the UK and has begun marketing training videos related to emergency planning and preparedness and countering WMD threats.
Universal Detection Technology is a developer of monitoring technologies, including bioterrorism detection devices. The Company on its own and with development partners is positioned to capitalize on opportunities related to Homeland Security. For example, the Company, in cooperation with NASA, has developed a bioterror 'smoke' detector that detects certain biohazard substances.

ETIM (.0065) Receives Approval from Major League Baseball(TM) for Seven More Casket Designs
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of brand image caskets and urns, today announced that Major League Baseball(TM) has approved an additional seven casket designs for the upcoming MLB(TM) casket line. The seven new designs include the reigning World Series Champions, St. Louis Cardinals as well as the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies. The organization approved the first design - for the Chicago Cubs - last month.
"With this approval, our design and production schedule for this line remains on schedule," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. "We look forward to bringing these products to market late this summer."
These clubs are the first eight teams featured in the casket line, which will feature all 30 major league teams by the close of 2008.
The caskets will be crafted from EI's proprietary composite and decorated with various woods and metals. Each casket will be instantly recognizable for the team after which it is designed. The supple interior fabric will feature the team logo and colors for the pillow and fabric trim.
The casket line corresponds to the company's recently launched MLB(TM) urn line. That line currently features the same eight MLB(TM) teams and has been receiving a great deal of attention from funeral homes and consumers. The entire first production run sold-out through pre-orders before the product had even arrived in the US. The company has submitted a production request for a second order - double the size of the first.
Urns and caskets featuring the balance of 22 Major League Baseball(TM) teams will launch in late 2007 and through 2008.
A limited number of the new casket designs will be debuted on the company's investor conference call tomorrow (April 18) at 10:00 a.m. To register for the call, please visit www.eternalimage.net. The company intends to post all eight images to its website by April 19.
