ritical Pharmaceuticals announced the results of a long-term preclinical study that confirms the

excellent local tolerability of its unique and propri- etary CriticalSorb™ nasal drug delivery technology. The emerging biotechnology company is now pre- paring to take the technology forward into a phase I clinical trial. CriticalSorb™ is already used in a number of marketed drugs for intravenous and oral administration and the results of this study complete the toxicology package for the nasal route of admi- nistration. CriticalSorb™ is a best in class absorption promoter that enables the nasal delivery of biologi- cal and challenging small molecule drugs. Biological drugs represent a $90 billion market, and yet nearly all need to be administered by frequent injection. CriticalSorb™ has the potential to transform the delivery of biological drugs by enabling non-invasive delivery that would be strongly preferred by patients. http://www.criticalpharmaceuticals.com

VD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV) received new orders during January, 2011. The

orders totaled approximately $9.3 million. These or- ders are for both production and research equipment in the fields of Solar, LED’s and Nanotechnology.

CVD Equipment Corporation and Graphene Labo- ratories Inc. now offer commercial CVDGraphene™ research starter materials and customization services for transparent and conductive CVD grown Gra- phene films.

Furthermore, CVD Equipment Corporation an- nounced a seventh consecutive profitable year. On revenue of approximately $5,123,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 we achieved net earnings of $375,000 or $0.08 per basic and diluted share and on revenue of approximately $16,258,000 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 we achie- ved net earnings of $532,000 or $0.11 per basic and diluted share. Revenue for fiscal year ended Decem- ber 31, 2010 increased due to increasing demand for energy saving and energy generation materials and products needed to address rising energy costs. Gross profit margin for Q4, 2010 was 41.6%, raising the overall gross profit margin for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 to 36.2%. This was accomplis- hed through a combination of greater efficiencies in purchasing and labor on an increase in revenue, a trend we expect to continue. http://www.graphene-supermarket.com http://www.cvdequipment.com
