TPDI News:
November 9 - True Product ID States Details Previously Reported in Its
Form 10-KSB Relating To Projected $1.3 Billion Revenue Gas Tank
Contract Signed With The Chinese Government Counterpart To U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
True Product ID, Inc. (OTCBB: TPDI) stated the following details
previously reported in its Form 10-KSB filed October 2, 2007 relating
to the agreement which its Chinese joint venture company affiliate,
True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited ("TPID Beijing"), signed
on August 27, 2007 with the State General Administration for Quality
Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of
China ("AQSIQ") to develop a national safety/security system for
China's liquefied natural gas and other pressurized canisters and other
special equipment (Contract No. 0076180):
As reported in its press release on August 27, 2007, the Company,
through its Chinese joint venture affiliate, entered into a contract
with the National Quality Inspection Department of the State General
Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of
the People's Republic of China ("AQSIQ"), to develop a national
safety/security system for China's liquefied natural gas and other
pressurized canisters and other special equipment.
According to its website (www.aqsiq.gov.cn), AQSIQ is a ministerial
administrative organ directly under the State Council of the People's
Republic of China in charge of national quality, metrology, entry-exit
commodity inspection, entry-exit health quarantine, entry-exit animal
and plant quarantine, import-export food safety, certification and
accreditation, standardization, as well as administrative
law-enforcement. AQSIQ is considered the Chinese counterpart to the
United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. See The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission-AQSIQ Joint Statement on Enhancing Consumer
Product Safety at www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07305.pdf.
The AQSIQ Contract follows an AQSIQ Circular to every quality and
technical supervision bureau in all provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities under the control of the Chinese Central Government. The
AQSIQ Circular sets out a 5-year AQSIQ National Security/Safety Plan to
protect against the illegal production, circulation, and use of certain
"special equipment" (the "Plan"). AQSIQ's mission in the Circular is,
among other things, to protect public safety from safety accidents and
other risks caused by counterfeit and substandard "special equipment."
Among the "special equipment" referenced in the AQSIQ Circular are
liquefied gas tanks, oxygen tanks, and other pressurized containers and
pipes, elevators, lift machinery; and equipment at large recreational
facilities and automobile plants.
In its Circular, AQSIQ has explicitly designated True Product's
technology and Chinese joint venture company affiliate as the exclusive
technology and technology provider to help AQSIQ develop, implement and
administer its National Security/Safety Plan. Under the AQSIQ Circular,
TPID Beijing is to help AQSIQ develop national special equipment
security identification standards (the "standards"), a special
equipment identification information security management system (the
"management system"), and a special equipment security/safety logo (the
"logo").
As a result of the Circular, AQSIQ has entered into a Project
Cooperation Agreement with the Company's Chinese joint venture company
affiliate (Contract No. 0076180). ASQIQ subsequently entered into
supplementary provisions to the Project Cooperation Agreement in
connection with the initial phase of AQSIQ's National Security/Safety
Plans relating to liquefied natural gas containers (the "LNG Contract").
Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide and apply a security
logo to all LNG containers in China. According to Chinese government
statistics, the total number of LNG containers in China is currently
over 130 million and is expected to increase in quantity by 10% every
year. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed
taggant price per LNG container. The specific taggant price per LNG
container is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature.
Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide 50,000 units of one
of its highly proprietary scanners and 15,000 units of another of its
highly proprietary scanners to approximately 20,000 LNG gas stations,
30,000 special equipment manufacturers, and 40,000 "platforms" in
China. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price
per scanner, with a different fixed price for each type of scanner. The
specific price per scanner is not being disclosed due to its
proprietary nature.
Finally, under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to establish a
security management information system for 50,000 enterprises. Under
the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price per
enterprise. The specific price per enterprise is not being disclosed
due to its proprietary nature. According to AQSIQ, among such
enterprises and platforms include 5,016 enterprises in charge of
manufacturing LNG containers and other pressurized containers, 14,995
enterprises in charge of charging LNG containers, 8,747 enterprises in
charge of manufacturing, installing, reequipping and repairing boilers,
and approximately 1,823 institutes in the Chinese state quality
inspection system which check LNG containers.
Since AQSIQ's Circular, Project Cooperation Agreement and LNG Contract,
TPID Beijing and AQSIQ have met and continue to meet on a routine basis
to develop, coordinate, and implement AQSIQ's National Safety/Security
Plan and in particular as the Plan initially pertains to LNG
containers. The initial revenue projections set forth by AQSIQ in the
LNG Contract (as corrected to fix a mathematical miscalculation in the
original Chinese version of the LNG Contract) to mark the 130 million
LNG containers (at a fixed price per container), to provide the 50,000
and 15,000 proprietary scanners (at fixed prices per scanner), and to
develop a security management information system for 50,000 enterprises
(at a fixed price per enterprise) total 2,720,000,000 Chinese Yuan,
which equates to over US$362,000,000.

by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal

returns on the spread between the yield on its assets and its costs,
including the interest expense on the funds it borrows.
BMNM News:
November 8 - Bimini Capital Management Reports Third Quarter 2007
Results
Exit from Mortgage Origination Business Drives Substantial Improvement
in Sequential and Year-Over-Year Quarterly Results
88 bps Net Interest Margin on MBS Portfolio at Quarter End
MBS Portfolio Remains 100% Invested in Agency MBS Bimini Capital
Management, Inc. (OTC: BMNM) ("Bimini Capital" or the "Company"), a
real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today announced its third
quarter results of operations and Book Value Per Share at September 30,
2007. The Company today also announced that it has filed its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007,
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Book Value Per Share
The Company's Book Value Per Share at September 30, 2007, was $1.00
compared with $1.17 as of June 30, 2007. Book Value Per Share is
regularly used as a valuation metric by various equity analysts that
follow the Company and may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure
pursuant to Regulation G. The Company computes Book Value Per Share by
dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares
outstanding of the Company's Class A Common Stock. At September 30,
2007, the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity was $24.8 million.
Details of Third Quarter 2007 Results of Operations
The Company today reported a consolidated net loss of $4.7 million, or
$(0.19) per Class A Common Share, for the three month period ended
September 30, 2007, compared with a consolidated net loss of $162.5
million, or $(6.53) per Class A Common Share, for the three month
period ended June 30, 2007, and a consolidated net loss of $6.3
million, or $(0.25) per Class A Common Share, for the three month
period ended September 30, 2006. Included in the Company's third
quarter consolidated results was a loss from continuing operations
before minority interest of $3.2 million and a loss from discontinued
operations, net of tax, of $1.5 million.
The Company's third quarter loss from continuing operations was
composed of net interest income of $1.4 million, a realized loss on the
sale of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") of $1.1 million, a net
decrease in the fair value of MBS of $1.4 million and $2.1 million in
operating, general and administrative expenses, which expenses include
$0.7 million in amortization expense associated with phantom shares
previously granted as compensation and $0.3 million in audit, legal and
other professional fees. During the third quarter, the Company sold MBS
with a market value at the time of sale of $0.9 billion, resulting in
the realized loss of $1.1 million on the sale of MBS. The Company's net
interest margin on its MBS portfolio increased to a positive 88 basis
points as of September 30, 2007.
REIT Taxable Income
For the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company
estimates its REIT taxable income at $1.5 million, inclusive of $2.8
million of interest income on intercompany debt. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 2007, the Company estimates its REIT taxable
income at negative $5.1 million. Depending on the Company's fourth
quarter performance, the Company may have negative REIT taxable income
for the year and all dividends declared year-to-date may be treated as
a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
REIT taxable income is a term that describes the Company's operating
results calculated in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's REIT taxable
income is computed differently from net income as computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP net
income"), as reported in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Depending on the number and size of the various items or
transactions being accounted for differently, the differences between
REIT taxable income and GAAP net income can be substantial and each
item can affect several reporting periods. Generally, these items are
timing or temporary differences between years; for example, an item
that may be a deduction for GAAP net income in the current year may not
be a deduction for REIT taxable income until a later year.
In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company is
required (among other provisions) to annually distribute dividends to
its stockholders in an amount at least equal to, generally, 90% of the
Company's REIT taxable income. Additionally, as a REIT, the Company may
be subject to a federal excise tax if it distributes less than 85% of
its REIT taxable income by the end of the calendar year. Accordingly,
the Company's dividends are largely based on REIT taxable income, as
determined for federal income tax purposes as opposed to its net income
computed in accordance with GAAP (as reported in the Company's
consolidated financial statements), and are paid if, when and as
declared by the Company's Board of Directors.
Management Commentary
Commenting on the Company's third quarter results, Jeffrey J. Zimmer,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Following the
close of the second quarter, we stated that we were optimistic about
our prospects going forward, and today we reported quarterly results
reflecting a dramatic improvement on both a sequential and
year-over-year basis. Although we recognize that much work remains to
be done to restore our profitability, we are pleased to report that our
net interest margin on our MBS portfolio increased to 88 basis points
at quarter end. As of September 30, 2007, our MBS portfolio consisted
of $1.3 billion of agency MBS at fair value and had a weighted average
yield on assets of 6.11% and a net weighted average borrowing cost of
5.23%."
Mr. Zimmer continued, "We continue to be optimistic about our future
for several reasons. First, as has always been the case, our MBS
portfolio continues to be 100% invested in liquid Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac and Ginnie Mae agency MBS, having little to no credit risk
exposure. Second, because we own various interest-rate-sensitive
assets, we stand to benefit further from any additional monetary policy
easing by the Federal Reserve. Third, we have monetized substantially
all of the value associated with our mortgage servicing rights
portfolio and mortgage loan inventory, and all liabilities under the
financing facilities that were secured by these assets have been
extinguished. Fourth, we continue to have over $100 million in trust
preferred debt capital that does not mature until 2035. Finally, as
illustrated by our third quarter results, we expect to no longer incur
the substantial operating losses experienced earlier in the year and
most of last year that were attributable to the discontinued mortgage
loan origination business. In sum, as I stated last quarter, we
continue to believe that our future is bright."
The Company has scheduled an online Web simulcast and conference call
to discuss these announcements that will begin at 8:45 a.m. E.T.
tomorrow, Friday, November 9, 2007. An online replay will be available
approximately two hours following the conclusion of the live broadcast
and will continue for four days. A link to these events will be
