San West Releases 4th Quarter Expectations and Announcement of Forward Stock Split Approval in Letter to the Shareholders
SAN DIEGO, CA, Nov 02, 2009 -- San West Inc. (OTCBB: SNWT), a Company that designs, manufactures, sells and repairs off-road vehicles, apparel and accessories, releases a Letter from the President and CEO of San West Inc., Frank Drechsler, to the shareholders today addressing concerns regarding the Forward Stock Split and announcing Finra's approval. The letter also discusses Buggy World's 4th Quarter expectations and includes an update regarding the County Imports alliance, which was announced last month.
To The Attention of San West Shareholders, This past week has been one loaded with confusion and miscommunications and we apologize for that. Although there is plenty of blame to go around, none of it belongs on the shoulders of our shareholders. We have received numerous shareholder calls and emails and are grateful for your concern. We are also very happy to put an end to all of this and give another small glimpse into San West's future.
We are happy to announce Finra has just informed that our 5 for 1 forward split is set to take place the opening of business tomorrow, 11/03/2009. To clear up any and all misinformation, anyone owning shares in our company by the close of business today, 11/02/2009, will be eligible for the additional shares.
On a brighter note, Q4, the busy season for Buggy World and most retail companies, has started off with a bang and is shaping up to be the best quarter in Buggy World's history. Thanksgiving begins the prime retail season for the off-road industry, which typically ends Memorial Day weekend, and pre-season sales are the highest they have ever been, suggesting a very strong season.
Sales for our new partnership with www.CountyImports.com have also started coming in. We will begin releasing our Internet sales figures to the public on a monthly basis beginning in November.
If you have further questions or concerns regarding San West's forward stock split, they would be best addressed by your stockbroker or financial advisor.
Best Regards,
Frank Drechsler CEO/President San West Inc.

Express Scripts and Greatwater Software Announce Partnership to Provide New Service in Physician Offices
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov 03, 2009 -- Service to support medication adherence and provide Express Scripts members with cost- and time-saving options Express Scripts, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESRX), a provider of integrated pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services, and Greatwater Software, Inc., a provider of patient self-service solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced a program that will enable patients to review options for reducing prescription costs when checking in for appointments at their physician's office.
Under the terms of the agreement, Express Scripts will utilize Greatwater's PatientPoint(TM) kiosk platform to present its members with information regarding their prescription benefit and prescription management options such as generic drug and home delivery of medication options.
As patients bear the burden of a growing portion of their medical expenses, they are increasingly opting not to fill their prescriptions due to high out-of-pocket costs. According to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 35 percent of patients with chronic illnesses never discussed with their doctor that they planned to reduce their own medications due to escalating costs.
"Presenting consumers with prescription management options at the point of care not only promotes better prescription compliance but also empowers patients to take a more active role in managing their health," said Steve Miller, M.D., chief medical officer at Express Scripts.
"Only half of all patients are estimated to take their prescriptions as prescribed by their physician. By utilizing Greatwater Software's kiosk technology, we will be able to more closely monitor prescription adherence and conversion rates, which will provide us with valuable insight into patient medication compliance."
The kiosks will engage patients in real time at the point of care to streamline practice workflow and increase the likelihood of prescription adherence. These kiosks will provide Express Scripts members with economical pharmacy options based on their specific medication regimens.
"With healthcare costs continuing to rise, our patients appreciate the chance to save money on their prescriptions while also reducing trips to the pharmacy," said Pradeep Vangala, M.D., president of Orlando Internal Medicine, a pilot site for the joint initiative. "Meanwhile, our physicians have a better understanding of patients' prescription compliance issues without having to ask a number of questions during the patient visit, resulting in greater overall efficiency."
"An increasing number of physician practices are adopting self-service for functions such as patient registration, bill payment and appointment scheduling. Through this important collaboration, patients who are members of health plans that partner with Express Scripts will have access to prescription management options that make it more cost-effective and convenient for them to comply with their medication plans," adds Don Shaver, CEO for Greatwater Software. "At the same time, the initiative will provide Express Scripts with a centralized method for communicating with their member population at the point of care."

XOMA Signs Antibody Discovery Collaboration With Kaketsuken
BERKELEY, Calif., Nov 3, 2009 -- XOMA Ltd. (Nasdaq:XOMA) and Kaketsuken have entered into a collaboration involving multiple proprietary XOMA antibody research and development technologies, including a new XOMA antibody phage display library, and a suite of integrated information and data management systems. Subject to certain technical verification required under the collaboration agreement, Kaketsuken has agreed to pay XOMA a fee of $8 million and XOMA will be entitled to milestone payments and royalties on product sales. Founded in 1926 in Japan as the Chemo-Sero-Therapeutic Research Institute, Kaketsuken, a research foundation with current annual revenues of approximately US $350 million, has blood plasma products, vaccines and therapeutics and is developing therapeutic solutions for infectious, and other diseases.
"Antibody technologies are increasingly important in the development of novel therapeutics for a wide range of diseases so it is essential to find the best technologies and partners to maximize the chances for success," said Dr. Hiroshi Mizokami, Executive Director of Kaketsuken.
"With XOMA's successful record of antibody candidates and drug development relationships, we are confident that they can provide us with the technologies we need to accelerate our antibody development programs. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship."
The centerpiece of the collaboration is access to a highly diverse antibody phage display library constructed by XOMA. Phage display libraries enable rapid generation and screening of large numbers of candidate antibodies and antibody fragments to select for optimal binding and other characteristics. XOMA's new, proprietary antibody phage display library is one of a new category of libraries being developed by XOMA scientists to overcome existing limitations in library design by combining very high diversity and "best in class" techniques with XOMA's proprietary and patent-protected technologies to enable the selection of antibodies with very specific and high affinity binding and potency characteristics to an antigen of choice.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Kaketsuken, an innovator in immunology and developer of the DPT vaccine," said Steven B. Engle, XOMA's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is the third technology collaboration XOMA has initiated this year, which combined are expected to result in fee revenue totaling $43 million and potential future milestone and royalty payments. We look forward to additional agreements that demonstrate the value of our extensive antibody expertise and increase the return on our research and development investment."
About XOMA
XOMA discovers, develops and manufactures therapeutic antibodies designed to treat inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious and oncological diseases. The Company's proprietary product pipeline includes XOMA 052, an anti-IL-1 beta antibody, and XOMA 3AB, a biodefense anti-botulism antibody candidate.
In addition to its new category of proprietary antibody phage display libraries, XOMA maintains what it believes to be the world's largest known collection of commercially available antibody phage display libraries. XOMA's access to these phage display libraries supplements its proprietary libraries to provide itself and its collaborators access to unparalleled diversity of antibody domains.
XOMA has multiple revenue streams resulting from the licensing of its antibody technologies, product royalties, development collaborations, and biodefense contracts. XOMA's technologies have contributed to the success of marketed antibody products, including LUCENTIS(R) (ranibizumab injection) for wet age-related macular degeneration and CIMZIA(R) (certolizumab pegol) for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.
