"We are grooming Yippy to become the standout brand of the future for high tech families. Games consoles and a flotilla of mobile devices will soon be Yippy-enabled devices."

Yippy is unabashedly focused on providing a worry-free family Web experience based on a combination of parental proxy controls for approved content, trusted content partners and strict enforcement of a government-registered restriction list." "PC vendors should be concerned about future commoditization of the PC as a result of cloud services, such as Yippy, that decrease the need for compute capability on the client," said Winogradoff. "Device manufacturers looking for service-bundling opportunities should also care, as should families that want to shield their children from adult Web content, advertising firms and local businesses, game developers and local media/entertainment providers."

MFLI News:

July 20 - BRAVADA Looks to Dual List its Shares on Canada`s TSX Venture Exchange as a Reporting Issuer to Coincide with its BRAVADA Women`s Athletica Canadian Expansion BRAVADA International Inc. (OTC: MFLI) (www.BravadaLtd.com) announced that it is looking to develop a dual USA / Canadian stock listing by seeking to list its shares for trading on the Canadian TSX Venture exchange as a reporting issuer. BRAVADA is currently looking to expand its BRAVADA Womens Athletica stores into Canada and listing its shares to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange as a reporting issuer would greatly expand its potential shareholder base across North America. Canada is a market that is very friendly to microcap companies that possess authentic and growing business plans in both the formation of capital as well as the regulatory environment. The Canadian TSX Venture Exchange is a vibrant exchange which requires companies to fully report and disclose audited financials, material change events and all corporate disclosures consistent with being a fully reporting issuer. Most important to BRAVADA, the regulatory environment is one that is fair and consistent that seeks the creation of shareholder value.

BRAVADA is currently looking to expand its BRAVADA Womens Athletica stores into Canada and has done significant research into the Calgary market, a city that BRAVADA CEO Danny Alex is very familiar with. Calgary is one of Canadas wealthiest cities and is thriving economically.

Kelowna, British Columbia is also being considered as well as Toronto and Vancouver. Expansion plans into the United States market shall continue as well.

BRAVADA is choosing to up-list its shares and report to Canadian regulators as opposed to its United States counter-parts for a number of reasons. The Canadian financial and banking systems provide a strong environment to continue BRAVADAs fast paced growth as well as an environment that it regards as friendlier to microcap companies. As well, the Canadian economy continues to be one of the fastest growing global economies.

We intend to dual list BRAVADA on the Pink Sheets in the United States and the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada as a reporting issuer, replied Danny Alex CEO of BRAVADA International. Many factors influenced our decision both economic and regulatory. We want a fair and consistent regulatory environment by which we conduct our business and report to shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange will allow us to greatly expand our shareholder base as we expand our BRAVADA Womens Athletica stores and presence into Canada.

BRAVADA shall report to shareholders any material developments in pursuing its TSX Venture Exchange listing. BRAVADAs head office shall remain in Los Angeles.

MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION (NASDAQ: MCBC) "Up 33.05% in morning trading" Detailed Quote:

MCBC News:

July 29 - Macatawa Bank Corporation Reports Profitable Second Quarter, Improved Results Macatawa Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: MCBC) announced a return to profitability and improvements in several key capital and operational ratios in the second quarter 2010. The Company`s results for the quarter included:

* Pre-tax net income of $3.1 million.

* After-tax net income of $1.7 million, compared to a loss of $30.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

* Net charge-offs of $6.3 million, down 54 percent from the first quarter 2010 ($13.6 million), 72 percent less than the second quarter 2009 ($22.1 million).

* Sixth consecutive quarter of improvement in net interest margin now at 3.29 percent.

* Solid improvement in capital ratios remained categorized as "adequately capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital requirements.

* Deposit accounts remain insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law.

Macatawa reported net income available to common shares of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2010, compared to a net loss available to common shares of $31.3 million, or ($1.82) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2009 and a net loss of $21.1 million for the first quarter 2010. For the first half of 2010, the Company`s net loss available to common shares totaled $19.4 million in 2010 compared to $36.4 million for the same period in 2009.

"Eight months ago, in an extremely challenging environment, we began an all out effort to instill business discipline and sound banking principles throughout the entire organization," said Richard L. Postma, Chairman of Macatawa Bank Corporation. "The second quarter results and our first profitable period in almost two years, coupled with improvements in nearly every key capital and performance metric, certainly are positive steps, but we still have a great deal of work to do to return the Company to financial health." Since taking the helm as chairman in late 2009 and with the full support of the Board of Directors, Mr. Postma has navigated the Company during a critical transition period. Under this leadership, the Bank implemented improved business and banking principles, added experienced personnel, bolstered the Bank`s risk management functions by adding key individuals in its Special Assets and Loan Review departments, and implemented new and more disciplined lending and loan risk management policies and new procedures for loan administration and loan review. Macatawa continued this momentum during the second quarter by accelerating workout strategies with some of its more stressed loan customers and making significant progress towards completing an independent loan review of all commercial credits.

In addition to its focus on improving asset quality, the Company continued to implement strategic initiatives to improve core operating performance.

"Our quarterly net interest margin continues to improve and is currently at its highest level in the past three years, while our quarterly controllable overhead costs are at their lowest level in over two years. In addition, we continue to efficiently manage our balance sheet. We have reduced out-of-market funding on our balance sheet by nearly $200 million as we continue to scale the organization to the current realities," commented Postma. "Even though the operating environment for banking is far from normal, we are confident that we are establishing a well-disciplined banking culture which will help us return to consistent and sustained profitability. However, it is realistic to expect that as the Company strives to return to sustained positive performance, it will experience uneven results on a quarterly basis. No one should assume that the second quarter results mean that the Company`s problems are fully resolved. It is a very good start, but just that, a start. We have a long road to travel to regain our shareholder and depositor confidence," said Postma.

Operating Results Net interest income for the second quarter 2010 totaled $12.8 million, a decrease of $210,000 from the first quarter 2010 and a decrease of $580,000 from the second quarter 2009. However, net interest margin increased to 3.29 percent, up 7 basis points from 3.22 percent on a consecutive quarter basis and up 50 basis points from 2.79 percent in the second quarter 2009.

"Future margin expansion will be dampened by the sale of the Company`s securities portfolio but margin should be positively impacted by the continued payoff of higher costing wholesale funds," said Postma. "The sale of our securities portfolio was an important step at firming up our capital position during this depressed economic cycle, and despite this impact on margin in the short-term, we expect continued momentum toward margin expansion over the longer term." Average interest earning assets for the second quarter 2010 declined $93.7 million from the first quarter 2010 and declined $385.0 million from the second quarter 2009, negatively impacting net interest income. However, the decline in assets continues to reflect the Bank`s focus on liquidity improvement, capital ratio maintenance and reduction in credit exposure within certain segments.

Non-interest income of $6.3 million for the second quarter 2010 was up $2.9 million from the first quarter 2010 and up $2.1 million from the second quarter 2009. The increase was primarily driven by the $2.7 million in gains on sales of securities in the quarter, offset by continued reductions in income from mortgage banking activities. Mortgage loan sales volumes have decreased significantly from levels in the second quarter 2009, when mortgage refinancing activity was strong as a result of low interest rates.

Non-interest expense was $14.3 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $17.9 million for the first quarter 2010 and $21.3 million for the second quarter 2009. Last year`s second quarter total was unusually high as it included $5.5 million in expense associated with the Trade Partners litigation settlement. In the most recent quarter costs associated with the administration and disposition of problem loans and non-performing assets were $2.5 million compared to $5.5 million in the first quarter 2010 and $2.4 million in the second quarter 2009. FDIC insurance assessments remain elevated at $1.2 million in the most recent quarter compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter 2010 and $1.7 million in the second quarter 2009, as a result of higher assessment rates implemented by the FDIC.

When excluding nonperforming asset costs and FDIC assessments, non-interest expense was $10.6 million for the most recent quarter, down from $11.1 million in the first quarter 2010 and $17.1 million in the second quarter 2009. Salaries and employee benefits were down $104,000 compared to the first quarter 2010 and down $678,000 from the prior year quarter as a result of a reduction in overall staffing levels due to the Company scaling its operations to respond to the impact of the prolonged economic weakness.

Asset Quality The provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the second quarter 2010 declined 90 percent or $17.9 million, from the first quarter 2010 and, even more dramatically, down $18.8 million from the second quarter 2009. Net charge-offs were $6.3 million compared to $13.5 million for the first quarter 2010 and $22.1 million for the second quarter 2009. During the fourth quarter 2009 and into 2010, the Company continued to complete a full, independent re-evaluation of its loan portfolio at the direction of the Board of Directors. The elevated levels of provisions for loan losses and net charge-offs in the first quarter 2010 reflect these efforts.

The loan loss reserve of $56.3 million was 4.12 percent of total loans at June 30, 2010, compared with 4.23 percent at March 31, 2010 and 2.32 percent at June 30, 2009. The loan loss reserve coverage to nonperforming loans remains elevated at 59.2 percent of non-performing loans at June 30, 2010, compared to 59.3 percent at March 31, 2010 and 39.1 percent at June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2010, the Company`s non-performing loans were $95.1 million (6.96% of total loans) compared to $102.5 million (7.13% of total loans) at March 31, 2010 and $103.9 million (6.88% of total loans) at December 31, 2009. Sales of foreclosed properties continued to improve as compared to 2009, with the Bank selling nearly $10 million of real estate in the first six months of 2010 compared to sales of $7.5 million for all of 2009.

"We intend to continue to maintain a prudent and conservative level of loan loss reserves until we see a clear trend of significant reductions in our charge-off and non-performing loan levels. That being said, we are seeing signs of stabilization in the valuations of properties securing our assets, allowing us to accelerate sales and reduce non-performing asset expenses. We also are encouraged by our efforts to find workable solutions with our challenging accounts to mitigate the impact on our loan losses and are achieving credit upgrades in some instances. Going forward, our approach to loan loss reserves will be cautious as we remain focused on reflecting the values of these assets at appropriate levels and moving the non-performing assets out of the Bank," said Postma.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Total assets were $1.65 billion at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $179.1 million from $1.83 billion at December 31, 2009. Total loans were $1.36 billion at June 30, 2010, down $145.9 million from $1.51 billion at December 31, 2009.

Commercial loans decreased by $125.2 million representing the majority of the decrease since December 31, 2009. The commercial real estate portfolio was reduced by $69.7 million as the Company continues its efforts to reduce exposure in these segments. Commercial and industrial loans declined by $55.4 million due in part to a general decline in business activity.

Of the decline in commercial real estate loans, $33.0 million of the decrease was in loans to residential developers, the portfolio that has caused the majority of stress within the Company`s loan portfolio.

The reduction in loans since year end 2009 allowed the Company to reduce wholesale funding, including out-of-market deposits acquired through brokers, by $93.2 million and to reduce other borrowed funds by $56.0 million. Total deposits were $1.31 billion at June 30, 2010, down $103.6 million from $1.42 billion at December 31, 2009, primarily from the run-off of brokered deposits. Customer deposit accounts remain fully insured to the highest levels available under the FDIC insurance programs.

Two of the three regulatory capital ratios for Macatawa Bank, including the tier one risk-based capital ratio and the tier one leverage capital ratio, were maintained at levels in excess of those ordinarily required to be categorized as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory capital guidelines. Despite these ratios, the Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized" as its total risk-based capital ratio of 8.71 percent was below the 10.0 percent minimum to be categorized as "well capitalized." In addition, because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well capitalized" regardless of actual capital levels.

At June 30, 2010, the Bank did not have capital at levels required by the Consent Order.

"Our goal remains to return to `well-capitalized` status, and we continue to work closely with our regulators in our efforts to comply with the terms of the Consent Order. While we are encouraged by the results of the quarter and are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the rest of 2010, we remain committed to building back profitability and improving our valuation. Although improvements in our operating results may be uneven during 2010, we continue to expect the overall profit trend to be positive," Postma said. "The Board of Directors and management team are determined to restore Macatawa Bank to sustained profitability and return to a position of capital strength. The second quarter was an important step in that direction." CONNECTYX TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS GROUP (OTC: CTYX) "Up 83.33% in morning trading" Detailed Quote:

July 29 - Power-One Posts Record Second Quarter 2010 Results * Consolidated revenue expands to $215 million, up 135% year-over-year * Ships 529 MW of inverters; cumulatively has shipped over 800 MW in 2010 * Posts net income of $24 million and diluted EPS of $0.17 Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWER), a leading provider of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2010. Power-One posted record net sales of $215 million for the second quarter ended July 4, 2010, an increase of 135% from the second quarter 2009. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter was $24 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7 million, or $0.08 per share for the same period last year. Consolidated bookings reached $757 million in the second quarter of 2010.

"In the second quarter, we drove significantly improved revenue growth from renewable energy products, due to capacity expansion and specific demand for Power-One`s industry-leading products. In turn, this led to expanded gross and operating margins and the third straight quarter of net profit," said Richard Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Power-One.

"Orders were strong in the quarter, backlog increased and we expect to grow revenue again in the third quarter. Strategically, we are positioning the company to achieve profitable growth across all of our business segments through new product introductions, expansion and manufacturing efficiencies." Power-One expanded consolidated gross margin for the fifth consecutive quarter, improving to 37% in the second quarter of 2010, compared with 19.9% for the same period last year. A favorable product mix, better absorption and an improving manufacturing cost structure contributed to the expansion. Gross margin was negatively affected by approximately $1.8 million in charges related to the closure of the Dominican Republic facility, which was near completion at the end of the second quarter 2010.

Operating income for the second quarter 2010 was $49 million, or 23% of revenue, and included $4.7 million in total charges primarily related to the closure of the Dominican Republic facility.

Strategic Business Units Beginning this quarter, Power-One will report revenue and operating income specific to its newly formed strategic business units, or SBUs, in the company`s filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Renewable Energy Solutions Renewable Energy Solutions posted strong sequential revenue gains in the second quarter 2010. Inverter and related product sales posted a record $142 million in revenue for the second quarter 2010, or a year-over-year increase of 745% from $17 million in the second quarter 2009. Renewable Energy Solutions contributed the majority of the company`s revenue, at 66% of total sales in the quarter, versus 18% in the second quarter of 2009.

Power-One shipped 529 MW of inverters in the quarter.

"Based on the efficiency, harvesting power and quality of our products and technology, we are continuing to take share in the inverter market," said Dr. Alex Levran, President of the Renewable Energy Solutions SBU. "We are implementing strategies and investments to continue our momentum, including new product introductions, capacity expansion and investments into sales, marketing and R&D." Power Solutions Power Solutions generated revenue of $72 million in the second quarter 2010 versus $74 million in the same period of 2009. Component availability continues to impact the production and sale of Power Solutions products.

"The closure of the Dominican republic facility, among other initiatives, will improve the margin profile of the Power Solutions SBU," commented Mr.

Steve Hogge, President of the Power Solutions SBU. "We will continue to reshape this business, as well as focus on new product offerings and design wins with marquee customers, in order to improve growth and profitability for this SBU." Business Outlook Effective today, Power-One will begin issuing quarterly revenue guidance.

For the third quarter of 2010, Power-One forecasts revenue of $250 to $270 million.
