Oct 22, 2008 -- BigString Corporation (OTCBB: BSGC), a developer of messaging technology, today (22 October) announced the release of a new text messaging application for Blackberry phones that permits both personal and business users to send self-destructing Short Message Service (SMS) text messages and pictures.

The new application is called SMS Eraser. BigString said that the self-destruction timing of messages is determined by the sender. A message can be set to self-destruct in as little as fifteen seconds or after a set number of views. The message will disappear in real time simultaneously from both the sending and receiving IM screens. Once the message self-destructs it cannot be recovered.

BigString's BlackBerry SMS Eraser is priced at USD29.95 and can be downloaded from BigString's website.

Oct 22, 2008 -- BroadVision, Inc. (OTCBB: BVSN), a global provider of strategic e-business solutions, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Revenues for the third quarter were $8.2 million, compared with revenues of $8.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $12.8 million for the comparable quarter of 2007.

License revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was $2.1 million, compared with $2.4 million for the prior quarter and $5.3 million for the comparable quarter of 2007. The majority of the third quarter license revenue was generated from the BroadVision(R) core Business Agility Suite(TM), Commerce Agility Suite(TM), eMerchandising(TM) and QuickSilver solutions, from customers including the State of Minnesota, Epson, Raiffeisen Bank, Honeywell and other brand-name, global customers.

In the third quarter of 2008, BroadVision posted net income on a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") basis of $0.3 million, or break even per basic and diluted share, as compared with GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008 and GAAP net income of $5.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP measure net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $0.1 million, or break even per basic and diluted share, compared with non-GAAP measure net income of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008 and non-GAAP measure net income of $6.7 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2007. These non-GAAP measure net income figures exclude restructuring charges, stock compensation expense under SFAS 123(R), and revaluation of warrant liabilities. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measure figures to GAAP net income figures is included in a table on the attached financial statements. The Company believes these non-GAAP measure net income figures provide useful information because they reflect the Company's financial performance excluding certain charges, credits, gains, and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $62.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, representing a $3.4 million, or 6%, increase over the June 30, 2008 combined balance of $59.1 million, and a 16% increase over the balance as of the end of 2007 of $54.0 million. This increase is due primarily to positive cash flow generated from operations.

"We are making steady progress in the marketplace transitioning to our new generation of products," said Dr. Pehong Chen, President and CEO, BroadVision. "Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, we are optimistic about future opportunities due to our improved pipeline and visibility; strengthening of revenue backlogs; and a solid balance sheet with strong cash positions."

Oct 22, 2008 -- Biovest International, Inc. (OTCBB: BVTI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today announced that the U.S. Federal Government has approved the appropriation of $1.6 million in biomedical research funds for Fiscal Year 2009 for the Defense Department's Cancer Immunotherapy and Cell Therapy Initiative, which is intended to support research into new applications for the AutovaxID(TM) instrument, Biovest's fully-automated cell-manufacturing device to cost-effectively and efficiently manufacture difficult-to-produce therapeutic proteins and personalized vaccines, including vaccines targeting cancers.

Biovest's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Steven Arikian, stated, "Congressman James McGovern (D-MA, Third District) and his staff have been wonderful to work with. We have been very impressed with Congressman McGovern's personal commitment in the fight against cancer, and his leadership will ensure that the latest cancer immunotherapy technology gets to military personnel and their dependents expeditiously."

"The U.S. military in recent years has actually been leading the field in cancer immunotherapy research," Dr. Arikian added. "Biovest is proud that its cancer vaccine enabling technology, AutovaxID, will be a major part of the Defense Department's efforts in the national and international fight against cancer."

According to Dr. Arikian, the federal research funds are planned to be used to conduct groundbreaking research with life-saving applications for the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans, and civilians. "Currently, we are utilizing AutovaxID(TM) to manufacture our proprietary personalized anti-cancer vaccine (BiovaxID(R) targeting B-cell blood cancers, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. With this expected critical funding support, we intend to further develop AutovaxID to be capable of growing patient-specific cells that could be used to rebuild damaged tissue or organs. The potential applications following trauma or injury are numerous, such as for the production of autologous skin for burn repair, growth of bone for fracture repair, and/or the production of tissue for plastic reconstruction of severe injuries."

The funds are being provided in the Defense Department's Title VI, Defense Health Program's Research and Development Account in the Defense Appropriations Conference Report. President Bush signed the Continuing Resolution, which included the research funds on September 30, 2008.

About AutovaxID(TM)

By automating the biomanufacturing process, and using single-use, closed-system disposable bioreactors, AutovaxID dramatically cuts the need for supervision, thus also minimizing error-prone manual monitoring and adjustments. Its capabilities actually reduce the need for large, expensive production facilities, including costly isolation suites and clean rooms. Biovest is positioning AutovaxID as a critically important platform technology which allows manufacturers of specialized protein-based drugs to streamline the production process, allowing for the faster and cheaper production of their products, using less manpower, while continuing to adhere with stringent regulatory standards.

About BiovaxID(R)

BiovaxID is a personalized, patient-specific therapeutic vaccine designed to stimulate the patient's own immune system to recognize and destroy cancerous B-cells that may remain in the body or may arise after the patient has been treated with chemotherapy. Unlike many other approaches to treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, BiovaxID is designed to kill only cancerous B-cells, with the initial indication of follicular Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Additionally, we anticipate that BiovaxID could potentially be used to treat other types of B-cell cancers, such as Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma.

About Biovest International, Inc.

Biovest International, Inc. (OTCBB:BVTI) is a pioneer in the development of advanced individualized immunotherapies for life-threatening cancers of the blood system. Biovest is a majority-owned subsidiary of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABPI) with its remaining shares publicly traded. Biovest has a foundation in the manufacture of biologics for research and clinical trials. In addition, Biovest develops, manufactures and markets patented cell culture systems, including the innovative AutovaxID(TM), which is being marketed as an automated vaccine manufacturing instrument and for production of cell-based materials and therapeutics. Biovest recently completed a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for BiovaxID(R), which is a patient-specific anti-cancer vaccine focusing on the treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. BiovaxID has been granted Fast Track status by the FDA and Orphan Drug status by the EMEA.

Oct 22, 2008 -- Brian McEwen, President and CEO of Buffalo Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BUF)(OTCBB:BYBUF)(FRANKFURT:B4K) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.) with China Railway Resources Co. LTD. ("CRRC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Railway Group Limited ("CREC") (www.crec.cn) to invest directly into the Company as well as finance the Mt Kare project in Papua New Guinea and the grassroots projects in Australia. "CREC" is a public company registered in the People's Republic of China and one of the largest civil construction companies in the world. From January 2008 to June 2008 CREC reported profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of RMB1.906 billion ($332,000,000 CDN), representing a year-on-year growth of 190%. CREC has created a Resource Development Branch to invest in overseas mineral development projects.

Buffalo Gold's CEO, Brian McEwen commented, "We are very excited to have signed this MOU with CREC. Raising money for early stage projects is extremely difficult in the current market, and as such our Australian properties and even the Mt Kare project have been underexplored for the past year. Buffalo now has a partner with the financial backing to complete exploration and evaluation at Mt Kare and our portfolio of grass roots projects in Australia. This allows us to focus on completing the underground feasibility study at our Furtei operation in Sardinia so that we can increase our revenues from that project."

Under the terms of the M.O.U., CRRC intends to:

- Make an equity investment into Buffalo of $3,000,000 CDN at $0.10 for each unit. Each unit contains one common share and one half share warrant at $0.30 per share for one year from date of closing.

- Make a project investment $7,500,000 CDN into Buffalo's Mt Kare JV with Madison Minerals within 24 months of signing to earn 54% of the project.

- Earn up to 72% in the project by making a cash payment of $5,000,000 CDN to the Mt Kare JV and completing a feasibility study on the project. CRRC will earn 82% with a total project investment of at least $40,000,000 CDN.

- Make a total project investment into Buffalo's Australian portfolio of $2,500,000 CDN to earn 60%. CRRC can earn up to 80% in any of the projects by advancing to the stage of resources as defined in NI 43-101.

The M.O.U. is contingent on CRRC completing due diligence on Buffalo and its assets and receiving all approvals, including approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Time is of the essence and the proposed schedule is for CRRC to begin due diligence and site visits and within two weeks of signing and if satisfied with the due diligence to finalize terms and conditions within eight weeks of signing.

Madison-Buffalo joint venture

The interests of Buffalo Gold and Madison Minerals in the Mt. Kare project are currently held via a joint venture agreement dated June 25, 2007 by which Buffalo has a 60% interest and Madison a 40% interest, which is subject to dilution in certain circumstances. Completion of the transactions set out in the M.O.U. would result in the replacement of that joint venture agreement with a new agreement, providing for, among other matters:

- Fixing Madison's interest in the project at 40% of the total retained Madison-Buffalo interest at all stages going forward, not subject to dilution.

- A cash payment from Buffalo to Madison of $352,165 CDN on regulatory acceptance of an agreement in respect of the matters set out in the M.O.U.

- Receipt by Madison of 40% of the $5,000,000 USD cash payment to the JV as set out above.

- Retention by Madison of 3.2% interest in the project at the point of CREC's earning its 82% interest.

- Relief from a requirement that Madison fund a portion of the JV's expenditures on the Mt. Kare project since July 14, 2008 or, in the alternative, face dilution of its interest to an amount less than 40%.

Madison confirms that it is the owner of 3,521,648 shares of Buffalo Gold Ltd.
