HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY REPORT

10/15/2008 12:00:00 AM

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY REPORT, October 2008

Provided by Healthcare of Today, Inc.

It is during trying financial times that the foundations of our economy are tested; and the strongholds become immediately apparent. For years healthcare has been touted as the “the beating heart of America’s economy,” and now we can see the many reasons why.

While layoffs are rampant across industries, the health job market is not just strong, but booming. In fact, nine out of 20 occupations with fastest growth are in the medical/healthcare fields. September 2008, at the peak of financial crisis nationwide, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics again reported that the healthcare sector had felt continued growth, increasing by 17,000 jobs. For the previous year it had a steady growth average of 30,000 jobs/ month. Within the current framework, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics predicts it to be a leading growth sector, with conservative estimates of 3 million jobs predicted to grow between now and 2016, the most of any industry.

There are many reasons for this optimism. Our nation faces a growing elderly population, a trend of growth forecasted to continue for 50 years and a population often requiring delicate care. The fact that many “Boomers” will be retiring with sizeable savings indicates that they may have unprecedented choices in their healthcare options as well. Across the spectrum, the future is promising. Patients are experiencing increased longevity courtesy of infection control, less invasive surgical methods, innovative therapies, and more. Advanced medical techniques for diagnosis and treatment have led to higher survival rates for trauma victims and the severely ill. The implications of this are that, as ill patients live longer lives, they require extensive care and support personnel which only the healthcare industry is equipped to provide. The Bureau of Labor Statistics currently estimates that from 2004-14, the total employment of home health aides is projected to increase by a whopping 56 percent. Business Week claims that “if trends continue, 30-40% of new jobs in the next 25 years will be in health care… the biggest worry is that demand for health care will absorb too much of the workforce and squeeze out other types of jobs.”

The growth in workers is just one contributor to the projected income for the industry. The Washington Post reports that “Spending on health care in the United States could double by 2017, reaching $4.3 trillion and accounting for 19.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product…” This growth is expected to be steady, ‘Our expectation is that growth in health spending is expected to be steady over the projection, which is 2007 through 2017, at 6.7 percent per year,’ reports co-author Andrea Sisko, an economist with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services…”

At the same time as they have reason to be optimistic, healthcare companies are aware that they operate in a time of heightened cost awareness just as any industry should. Hospitals may be feeling this crunch more, as patients are increasingly being discharged earlier, and “whenever possible”, inpatients are signed out as outpatients. For a variety of reasons, non-hospital healthcare environments are being explored by many, as are a range of nursing and in-home facilities or day care for elderly patients.

Some of the reason for confidence in the continued growth of this sector is that it’s not seasonal; on the contrary, healthcare is a “round-the-clock” business. In contrast to many other sectors, it remains highly labor intensive; even advanced technology requires human oversight and operation. Furthermore, in contrast to many industries, there is little “leakage” of jobs abroad; outsourcing is rare.

In these many ways healthcare is and will continue to be a supporting column of the American economy. As our lives get longer we will continue to discover the widths of our healthcare needs and capabilities. For now, this speeding train shows no sign of slowing.

COMPANY INTENTION TO AGGRESIVE ACQUISITIONS

10/19/2008 12:00:00 AM

Burbank, CA, October 19, 2008 — President and CEO of Healthcare of Today, Inc. (“Healthcare of Today”) Henry Jan has announced a corporate initiative to continue the company’s aggressive acquisitions of healthcare companies despite climbing fears in other sectors of the economy.

Jan says, “We realize financial sectors are suffering, but, while we keep a watchful eye on what’s happening elsewhere, we remain committed to our company goals. We are thrilled with our success to date and are confident in our business plan, which allows us some important independence from the troubled banking systems. All signs point to continued growth for the healthcare sector, and we’re going to continue to take advantage of our prime positioning with regard to those projections. Now, more than ever, we need to continue forward.”

The company recently issued a brief summary of health industry forecasts from a variety of sources, which is available on their site, www.healthcareoftoday.com.

Jan points out that while layoffs are being seen nationwide, across industries, the healthcare job market is not suffering in the same ways and this fact encouraged corporate management to its decision announced today. Jan says, “The sectors of healthcare that we have handpicked to work with need us as much as we need them; our ownership of nursing schools and placement services couldn’t be better-timed with regards to the nursing shortage that exists and unfortunately continues to plague the healthcare system. We cannot disregard that we operate against a more optimistic background than other businesses, and we will stay focused as long as this is so.”

Medical technology company with instant ability to diagnose HPV joins Healthcare of Today

10/24/2009 12:00:00 AM

BURBANK, Oct. 24 -- Healthcare of Today, Inc., a vertically-integrated healthcare network, has merged Aequorea Vision™ Medical (“AVM”) into one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. AVM is responsible for developing advanced diagnostic screening equipment for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Bovine Papillomavirus (BPV).

HPV is known to be the cause of a number of diseases including cervical cancer and throat cancer. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 6.2 million people become newly infected with HPV each year, and at least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire an HPV infection at some point in their lives.

AVM’s technology offers hope for affordable, efficient, real-time diagnosis for patients and their healthcare providers. AVM’s diagnostic equipment allows healthcare providers to progress beyond the 60-year-old Pap smear test to “see & treat” patients on the spot with advanced technology and on-premises equipment. It also has direct application to the multi-billion dollar equine industry, as BPV causes sarcoid tumors in horses and cattle. AVM’s devices are suitable for both in-office and remote location testing.

Burbank, CA – November 17, 2009: Healthcare of Today, Inc (“Healthcare of Today”) today announced a planned 2-for-1 forward split of its common shares.

The holding company has continued to grow its healthcare business assets exponentially, including the most recent addition to its medical technology portfolio, Aequorea Vision Medical. Aequorea has developed advanced screening equipment capable of efficiently diagnosing the cell damage caused by Human papillomavirus (“HPV”) or Bovine papilloma virus (“BPV”). The unique benefit of Aequorea’s work lies in its ability to diagnose immediately and with complete accuracy, whether in medical offices or in the field. The company has developed large equipment suitable to a hospital environment, as well as a portable (less than three pounds) device, and a third, pocket-sized, battery-operated “super portable” device suitable for use in low-resource environments and elsewhere. All three levels of the prototype are cu rrently in use at a clinic in Mexico City.

Aequorea’s “see and treat” technology offers patients and their doctors substantial advantages, both in convenience and cost, over the time-consuming and costly Pap smear method. The screening equipment’s direct BPV applications also make it an important advancement for veterinary medicine.

BURBANK, CA - Dec. 17, 2009 - Healthcare of Today, Inc. announces that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Xenotis Pty Ltd., the Australian-based producer of human tissue engineering technology for $40M.

“Xenotis is leading the world in advanced human tissue engineering. While many companies are interested in this fast-growing market, few have made the clear strides that Xenotis has. The company has working products and a strong distribution network in place around the globe. As we consider how to seamlessly integrate Xenotis into our family of companies, I think there is a particular dynamic to be enjoyed given our relationship with Regenetech, which is the world leader in advanced stem cell research technology,” says Healthcare of Today CEO Henry Jan.

The recent growth of the tissue engineering industry has been attributed to the shortage of donors and the desire to avoid rejection. Xenotis has been involved in proprietary tissue scaffolds and processing technology since the late 1980’s. Other medical devices and products in the company’s tissue engineering portfolio include a range of tissue-engineered grafts, replacement blood vessels, ligaments and heart valves.

Xenotis is well known for its custom-designed biosynthetic graft, produced according to strict specifications for use in peripheral bypass or arteriovenous access. The custom-designed prosthetic material combines the durability of synthetic material with similar hemocompatibility to that of a natural blood vessel. This stands in contrast to pure biological grafts, which are made from recycled blood vessels or other recovered tissues.

The prostheses is used when grafting from the patient’s own blood vessel is not possible. Among its benefits are that it is non-toxic, non-calcifying, and has medium to long-term functionality, making it a more cost-effective solution. It may also allow the patient to undergo fewer procedures, a distinct advantage for seniors for whom general health considerations increase the risk of repeated surgical procedures. To date, the prostheses has been implanted in tens of thousands of patients across 30 countries, and is produced and sold through one of Xenotis’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Regenetech, Inc. (www.Regenetech.com), a Houston-based biotechnology company, has established itself as the world leader in advanced adult stem cell technology. It has licensed 13 patents, utilizing its unique relationship with NASA, for the expansion of adult stem cells in a simulated weightless environment, and through its own research efforts has obtained several hundred patents and patent applications throughout the world. With its vast patent portfolio, Regenetech has been able to develop an aggressive international licensing policy, offering its technology and patents across the globe.

Healthcare of Today CEO Henry Jan also says, “Xenotis’s work has changed the lives of patients throughout the world. Improving the quality and viability of people’s lives is something we are quite passionate about here at Healthcare of Today. Considering that the United States is 50% of the world medical device market, we wholeheartedly support their entry into this market and into the lives of our core customers. We intend on using the relationships that Xenotis has built around the world to expand the reach of the other companies in the Healthcare of Today family so that all can improve the value to the shareholder.”

BURBANK, CA--(Dec. 18, 2009) – Healthcare of Today, Inc. (www.healthcareoftoday.com) announces that it has acquired NuvoDigital Technology, Inc., a data security technology firm based in Salt Lake City.

NuvoDigital Technology, Inc.'s ("NuvoDigital") technology explores the realm of complete, digital data protection from unauthorized use, with an emphasis on meeting the industry standards for HIPAA compliant data security technology. Companies or individuals needing to transport sensitive electronic medical records outside the safety of firewalls require "military level" security and encryption to ensure data security, and furthermore, to minimize liability. The company's technology completely prevents data at healthcare organizations or offices of any size from being accessed by any unauthorized parties. In addition, Digital Rights Management can be incorporated to automatically erase data outside of the firewall after a specified window of time.

The company's research offers a competitive focus on the portability of data, complete security, and the patient's ability to control their own medical records. NuvoDigital CEO Clayton Sherwood said, "The goal of NuvoDigital's work is to provide an extreme level of protection through a combination of layers and types of security, and to ensure that patients and their doctors have access to the highest standard of medical data security available."

CEO of Healthcare of Today Henry Jan says, "NuvoDigital provides exceptional data security capabilities, and is a natural fit for healthcare companies that, like ours, want to protect their patients' private information. As our own Healthcare of Today network continues to grow, it is important to think not only about how we're providing healthcare services and products to our patients on a daily basis, but how we protect them long after they leave our offices."

Healthcare of Today announced another addition to its security portfolio earlier this week, with the acquisition of Prescient Global, Inc. (www.prescientedgeglobal.com). Prescient Global, Inc., the global security division of Prescient Edge Consulting, offers complete solutions for corporate security, protecting personnel, assets, and interests in a changing global marketplace. Services provided include IP protection, information security, system standardization, compliance, due diligence and other investigations, risk management, crisis intervention, operations and performance management, and more. Through its work, Prescient Global is able to assist companies in increasing product value, company profitability, and ultimately, shareholder peace of mind.

Real Medicine (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) began deploying its team members to the earthquake-stricken region last week, providing emergency medical care while preparing to create mobile clinics that can continue to thrive.

They spare no resource; even RMF’s founder Dr. Martina Fuchs is there now. And the stories coming out about the experience there are testimony to the faith patients can have in Real Medicine’s work.”

Real Medicine Foundation has been issuing updates from abroad, including the story of Stancia, a woman whose life was severely affected by the estimated 7.0 earthquake. Real Medicine’s Michael Lear reported on their blog that, “Her first words to me are – ‘I am dead. I have lost everything, my family, my husband and children and my house. It is just me and God… and you. You are my family now.’”

Healthcare of Today CMO Lilly Ghahremani said “Real Medicine Foundation is unique in that it thinks about patients as individual people and solutions as long-term. They’re not only deciding what they can do for Haitians today, but how they can heal Haitians in the months and years to come. Whatever we can do to further their work, we are doing, and will continue to do, in Haiti and around the world.”

Real Medicine Foundation (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) provides humanitarian support to people in disaster, post-war, and poverty-stricken areas of the world.

BURBANK, CA – March 3, 2010 — (“Healthcare of Today”) announces that it has acquired a controlling interest in the publicly traded company, Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (ticker symbol: AEGY).

Alternative Energy Partners (“AEGY”) promotes the use of clean energy by developing innovative, high-performance buildings that can provide clients with significant energy cost savings and superior work environments.

3/5/2010 1:12:00 PM

BURBANK, CA – March 5, 2010 -- Healthcare of Today has announced the acquisition of Immersion House, a bilingual after-school program based in California.

Immersion House currently offers Spanish-English bilingual after school care, combining stimulating, interactive activities for children with language enrichment. While the program currently operates in Spanish/English, Immersion House will be offering additional languages in the near future.

Bilingualism is a hot topic in education, and has captured the attention of parents nationwide. After school language enrichment programs, immersion schools, and bilingual preschools exist and are appearing across the country. However, Immersion House founder Kristi Bliss says ”All too often they [bilingual programs] fall short on ‘the experience’. Understanding words, phrases, and hearing cultural stories is useful – but to really learn a language and its culture, you need to converse with people and be immersed in that target language and culture. Immersion House provides that experience through physical and digital immersive experiences that aid in learning multiple languages.”

Immersion House’s program is a natural complement to the great number of bilingual schools in the Bay Area, where the company is headquartered. Language practice is reinforced through cultural activities, cooking, and other events led by the bilingual staff. The company currently caters to children in grades K-2 and is preparing the next steps of its offerings to children and their families, beginning with a summer camp.

Immersion House has also laid plans for an online component to bilingual education learning. Bliss says this will assist busy parents and caretakers in staying involved in what their children are learning and overcoming the misperception that parents must be fluent foreign language in order for their children to learn it.

Bliss says, “Immersion House is thrilled to become a part of the HOTI family. The breadth and depth of HOTI’s vertical integration strategy and our shared passion for language immersion will enable us to extend the Immersion House teaching facilities and online experience to more children and families so they can truly become bilingual, bi-literate, and bicultural."

CEO Henry Jan of Healthcare of Today says, “It’s impossible to talk about education these days without discussing the benefits of language education. Immersion House is creating a fun, safe environment in which young children not only receive after-school care, but gain the bilingual edge. Our company’s commitment is to provide avenues for a healthy, happy family. High-quality education is an important step in this commitment.”

Healthcare of Today’s other education holdings include Northwoods College, a nursing school based in Wisconsin, and HealthStaff Training Institute, based in Santa Ana, California.

Research suggests a number of advantages to being bilingual including, linguistic and metalinguistic abilities and cognitive flexibility, concept formation, divergent thinking and general reasoning and verbal abilities.

BURBANK, CA – Healthcare of Today, Inc. announces it has signed a letter of intent with leading edge medical product company DyfucaMed®, LLC (“DyfucaMed®”).

DyfucaMed®’s flagship product is the DyfucaMed® Ratio Applicator, a medical biomaterials applicator for performing Autogenous Hematopoetic Tissue Grafts (“AHTG”). Using stem cell technology and controlled application of a concentrated platelet gel, the DyfucaMed® Ratio Applicator allows the body to use its own healing mechanisms for therapeutic benefits and accelerated healing. Platelet Gel has received attention as the medical choice for athletes who require a rapid recovery, including NFL player Hines Ward. The use of a platelet gel applicator is appealing for a number of markets requiring aggressive recovery, including the military and veterinary markets.

DyfucaMed® creates user-driven medical solutions, consulting with medical professionals who regularly use tissue grafts to gain insight into market needs during various stages of product development. In one example, the DyfucaMed® Ratio Applicator uses a plastic polycarbonate that is the first disposable applicator to be lipid-resistant and has finger grips to prevent slippage.

The development of the DyfucaMed® Ratio Applicator was inspired by surgeons’ increasing recommendation of the use of platelet gel. Platelet gel offers a number of benefits including accelerated tissue regeneration, helping create hemostasis, reducing pain, helping prevent infection, and reducing the chance of adhesions. Clinical uses of autologous platelet gel are numerous and include plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery including hip replacements, neurosurgery, major vascular surgery, cardio-thoracic surgery, oral surgery, and chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers.

CEO of DyfucaMed® Lawrence Williams says, “The DyfucaMed® Ratio Applicator improves healing time and prevents bruising. Platelet gel can often make a dramatic difference, such as the difference between a patient having a limb amputated or healing the sore and moving on. We are thrilled to bring our products into the Healthcare of Today family of businesses and we share its passion for finding new and innovative ways to improve patient outcomes.”

Healthcare of Today Executive VP Daniel McKeown says, “DyfucaMed® has taken the time to understand what doctors say they need to help their patients heal faster, and has developed those tools. We are thrilled to bring their cutting-edge line of products on board with Healthcare of Today and to vertically integrate them into our family of companies so our patients and businesses across the board can benefit from their ground-breaking product line. We look forward to working with DyfucaMed® to find new ways to restore our patients, young and old, to their best health.”
