GeckoSystems Expects New Medicare/Medicaid Payments to Increase Personal Robot Demand

There is breaking news coming GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (OTC: GCKO). Yesterday after the markets closed the company announced that the new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes recently approved, for physicians only, will further enhance the cost/benefit ratios of personal companion robots for family care.

These new CPT codes will increase physician productivity and revenue by billing for activities that have previously been considered unpaid administrative time for non-physical consultations such as telephonic or on-line consumer care using home monitoring medical devices. GeckoSystems is a dynamic leader in the emerging Mobile Service Robot (MSR) industry revolutionizing their development and usage with “Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security and Service(TM).”

When it comes to developing devices to help doctors monitor patients’ health remotely, we’re talking multibillion dollar potential. According to the release, this professional telehealth market is predicted to grow from $3 billion in 2009 to $7.7 billion by 2012. And with the 65-and-older demographic estimated to be more than 71 million people by 2030, telehealth, especially cost effectiveness in the home, promises to be huge.

“The new Medicare/Medicaid payments for physicians’ usage of home monitoring medical devices will cover multitasking, upgradeable personal companion robots such as the CareBot due to the cost effective, robust, and efficient coverage readily available with minimum modifications to the home itself other than the comparatively simple installation of WiFi coverage. These new economic realities improve the value proposition of our mobile robot solutions for this marketplace, enhance the present pent up demand, and increase ROI for our stockholders,” stated Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems.

Dear Investor,
Did you know that the United States comprises less than 5% of the world’s population yet accounts for roughly a quarter of both total oil usage and carbon dioxide emissions?

Most Americans do not. Fortunately the incoming administration is fully cognizant of these facts and plans on investing $150 billion into alternative energy technology over the next decade to help solve this and similar problems.

USA Today Highlights Raser Technologies/Geothermal Energy as Most Promising Alt-Energy Source
Sure, the recent economic downturn and drop in oil prices have shifted focus away from renewable energy projects to some extent. . . for the moment. However, the same set of circumstances still plague the U.S. whether oil is priced at $30 per barrel or $150. The need to end reliance on foreign oil and minimize our carbon footprint is growing and only a push towards cleaner, more economical energy sources can help achieve this.

An exciting technology capable of drastically changing the way we produce energy was profiled in Tuesday’s addition of USA Today.

According to the article, entitled “Despite Economy, 3 Companies Stay on Alternative-Energy Path”, research firm New Energy Finance expects investment in emerging alternative energy projects to grow nearly 45% in 2008 to $14.2 billion from $9.8 billion in 2007 with total spending on clean-energy projects at $142 billion. The piece highlights geothermal producing Raser Technologies, Inc. (NYSEArca: RZ) as one of 3 companies that are persevering in the alt-energy space despite tough credit markets, declining oil prices, and a dismal economy.

While geothermal energy itself is not a new concept, the technology developed by United Technologies and deployed in Raser’s first geothermal power plant is relatively new. It is also beginning to emerge as a viable alternative to traditional electricity generation technologies due to the growing number of economical and environmental benefits it affords.

Despite Economy, 3 Companies Stay on Alternative-Energy Path

Geothermal: Chu’s Ace in the Hole
Newly appointed United States energy secretary Steven Chu has already voiced his intent to immediately begin seeking alternatives to coal energy, which provides roughly 50% of America’s electricity.

This aligns perfectly with President elect Obama’s plans to “develop new forms of energy and ways to use them”. While nuclear, solar, and wind are all expected to play a role in helping reduce the country’s carbon footprint, Mr. Chu may have an ace up his sleeve.

Earlier this year, Chu, a Nobel Prize winner, briefed the world on the many benefits of enhanced geothermal systems. As the country searches for an optimal alternative to fossil fuels, recent advancements made in the geothermal sector by companies such as United Technologies and Raser Technologies coupled with support from America’s energy and environmental departments could become a driving force behind widespread adoption of geothermal technology.

Steven Chu on Geothermal Energy

Gaining Momentum
UTC has developed the PurceCycle® power solution, a fuel-independent system that is able to convert lower temperature (+165 Farenheit) geothermal resources into 280KW of electrical power. This technological innovation helps energy providers overcome one of the key roadblocks to the widespread generation and usage of geothermal energy.

Historically, in order to optimally harness geothermal power, the presence of high temperature geothermal resources (+300F), such as those typically located near areas with high volcanic activity, was imperative. UTC’s development greatly expands the potential pool of geothermal resources that American firms can harness by roughly 120,000 MW of energy (U.S. Geological Survey data). RZ will soon be one of the first U.S. companies to leverage the technology.

The company’s Thermo #1 plant in Utah, which is scheduled to be online by year’s end, will incorporate the PurceCycle system into its modular power plant design. RZ is set to begin delivering on its first geothermal power contract with the City of Anaheim this week. To date, RZ has received and implemented 50 PurceCycle units for use at its Thermo #1 plant, and placed orders for a combined 200 units which are expected to generate roughly 45-50MW of energy at the company’s first 4 to 5 geothermal plants.

Why geothermal energy?

In a nutshell:

Geothermal energy is a renewable and unlimited source of emission-free base-load (24/7) power.

Generating geothermal power requires relatively little real estate in comparison to traditional power plants.

There are substantial governmental renewable energy mandates/tax incentives available to producers.

Geothermal power is cost competitive with coal-based energy, which fuels half of our nation’s electricity.

Raser Moves to the Big Board,
Raser Technologies announced Monday that is has filed for listing on the NYSE “Big Board” and also recently closed the remaining $10M of its private placement funding with Fletcher International.

In the wake of negative news ranging from massive ponzi schemes to the possibility of all three American car manufacturers filing for bankruptcy, Raser’s recent announcements are a breath of fresh air and indicative of how the company’s model is holds up in a global economic slowdown.

“Raser Closes Remaining Funding of Previously Announced Private Placement”

Conclusion

As the United States strives to become greener and energy independent, we think geothermal power will surface as an optimal replacement for fossil fuels. With 8 geothermal projects currently under development representing at least 80- 85 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power and a “heat farm” portfolio that currently spans five states and more than 250,000 acres, we also believe that RZ is well positioned to take advantage of the shift towards geothermal power.

In today’s edition, I’ll bring you up to speed on one of our favorite portfolio companies that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on a monumental market downturn by delivering technology that makes the semiconductor fabrication process more profitable and environmentally friendly. But first, what in the world is going on in the semiconductor space?

Troubled Global Economy Finally Sends Semi Space into the Red
After six years of steady growth, the SIA forecasts a substantial decline in 2009 global semiconductor sales. Citing a tumultuous global economic environment that is driving decreased PC and cell phone sales, the association expects a 5.9% plunge in the current quarter to be followed by a 5.6% dip next year.

Despite the SIA issuing optimistic 2010 forecasts, it’s quite evident that a market turnaround is by no means imminent given the current state of the global economy and the fact that not even the most highly esteemed economists have a clue when the hemorrhaging will subside.

Only the Strong Survive and LGYH is Showing Signs of Strength

As the old saying goes “only the strong survive”. This certainly holds true in cutthroat industries such as the semiconductor space. In order to stay strong and improve operating efficiencies, many leading players including Tyco, Micrel Systemsand Silicon Genesis have aligned themselves with portfolio company Legacy Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: LGYH).

The company was founded and is directed by Robert R. Matthews, a chemist with nearly 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry with time spent as a process engineer at both Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC).
“SIA Forecast: Semiconductor Sales Slowing”

Legacy Helps Semicon Leaders Do More with Less
By nature, Moore’s law keeps capital expenditures uniquely high throughout the semiconductor industry. Frequent upgrades to fabrication equipment are imperative in order for manufacturers to stay competitive. Moreover, with the credit market now bone dry, semiconductor-related organizations are increasingly being forced to get creative and do more with less.

Oddly enough, this dynamic creates an interesting opportunity for Legacy’s EPA Green Chemistry award-winning silicon wafer cleaning technology. For a point of reference here are a few data points regarding the industry’s struggle to remain profitable:

1. The capital cost to build and equip a semiconductor fabrication facility has risen from $6 million in 1970, to anywhere between $1B to $3B today;

2. A typical fab is equipped with several hundred equipment items that range in price from roughly $700,000 to $5,000,000;

3. Minor interruptions to the fab process can cost upwards of $1M;

4. Losses related to massive semiconductor fab contamination can range from $100M to $1.5B;

5. Daily costs associated with operating a fab are in the $3M+ range for leading players; and

6. Besides a few extremely large market players, the vast majority of manufacturers in the industry have been unable to remain profitable and have chosen to either collaborate or consolidate to produce on an economic scale.

LGYH Presents a Massive Value-Proposition to a $7B+ Marektplace

In addition to improving wafer processing time by 200% and enhancing oxide removal control by 92%, the company’s technology also decreases costs by 22% by reducing the amount of consumable materials used in wafer cleaning and reduces particles left on the wafer after cleaning by 76%. Given today’s troubled economic environment, these benefits qualify the technology as a no-brainer solution to many of the problems facing the industry today.
Legacy 10Q

Quarterly Results Positive amidst Backdrop of Negative Economic Trends
LGYH recently announced operating results for the 30-day period ending 9/30/08, which are fairly promising given the current troublesome global economic environment. Despite total costs and operating expenses being up nearly 80% on a quarterly year-over-year basis, Legacy’s performance over the first 9 months of 2008 has improved in a number of key areas.

Highlights of the filing include:

3-months ending 9/30/08 versus corresponding quarter of 2007

1. Revenue increased 1% from $87,543 to $88,474;

2. A 35% increase in General and Administrative costs ($42,332 to $57,283) largely driven by costs associated with transitioning from Pink Sheets to OTC Bulletin Board Exchange; and

3. Net loss of $70,985 vs. net loss of $14,600.

9 months ending 9/30/08 vs. corresponding 9 months of 2007

1. Revenues increased roughly 5% from $313,138 to $328,746;

2. Total costs and expenses decreased 10% from $207,037 to $185,475; and

3. Positive net income of $2,051 vs. net loss of $79,182.
“LGYH Delivers Repeat Order to Tyco”

Conclution

Although quite resilient to economic slowdowns, the semiconductor industry, like all of the rest, is by no means impervious to global recession. However, with a little help from value-added solution providers such as LGYH, leading semiconductor players should be able to optimize their operations now and squeeze out smaller competitors during tough times thus setting the stage for easy growth once the economy rebounds in the future.
