MissionIR Features AdCare Health Systems (ADK) in Exclusive Interview Featuring President and CEO Boyd Gentry

MissionIR today announces that its interview with Boyd Gentry, the president and chief executive officer of AdCare Health Systems (NYSE Amex: ADK), is now available online. The complete interview can be heard at http://adk.missionir.com/adk/interview.html.

Mr. Gentry discussed the company’s rapid growth, its aggressive M&A program, and acquisitions that are on the horizon for 2012, which are projected to increase the company’s revenue run rate by more than 500% over 2010. Mr. Gentry additionally provided an overview of the company’s business model and discussed the background of the company’s executive team, including recent additions of new talent. Mr. Gentry emphasized AdCare’s tremendous growth, which is singular among its competitors in these challenging economic times.

“We’re the only long-term care company that is aggressively acquiring these smaller, regionally focused, privately held, nursing home operators,” Mr. Gentry stated. “Typically, these acquisition targets are not focused on the more complex, but more profitable sub-acute segment of the business. AdCare is able to build upon the solid custodial care reputations of these smaller operators by expanding their clinical capabilities and post-acute services. Our revenues grew four-fold in 2010, and then last year we doubled to a run rate of $200 million. We have a number of acquisitions in the pipeline and expect by the end of this year to at least double again.”

Threshold Pharmaceuticals (THLD) and Merck KGaA Announce Global Agreement

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 02/03/12 — Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ: THLD)

• Threshold to receive $25 million upfront, plus further potential milestones and royalties
• Deal provides Threshold option to co-commercialize in the United States
• Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma on-going and randomized Phase II trial in patients with pancreatic cancer expected to report in February 2012

Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ: THLD) today announced that a global agreement was signed with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, to co-develop and commercialize TH-302, Threshold’s small molecule hypoxia-targeted drug. TH-302 is currently being investigated in a global Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with soft tissue sarcoma, a randomized Phase 2 trial in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer from which top-line results are expected in February, as well as additional clinical studies in other solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

Under the terms of the agreement, Merck will receive co-development rights, exclusive global commercialization rights and will provide Threshold an option to co-commercialize the therapeutic in the United States. In exchange, Threshold will receive an upfront payment of $25 million and could receive up to $35 million in additional development milestones during 2012. Threshold is also eligible to receive a $20 million milestone payment based on positive results from its randomized Phase 2 trial in pancreatic cancer. Total potential milestone payments are $525 million, comprised of $280 million in regulatory and development milestones and $245 million in sales-based milestones.

In the United States, Threshold will have primary responsibility for development of TH-302 in the soft tissue sarcoma indication. Threshold and Merck KGaA will jointly develop TH-302 in all other cancer indications being pursued. Merck KGaA will pay 70% of worldwide development costs for TH-302.

Subject to FDA approval in the United States, Merck KGaA will initially be responsible for commercialization of TH-302 with Threshold receiving a tiered, double-digit royalty on sales. Under the royalty-bearing portion of the agreement, Threshold retains the option to co-promote TH-302 in the United States. Additionally, Threshold retains the option to co-commercialize TH-302 allowing the company to participate in up to 50% of the profits in the United States based on certain revenue tiers. Outside of the United States, Merck KGaA will be solely responsible for the commercialization of TH-302 with Threshold receiving a tiered, double-digit royalty on sales in these territories.

“The addition of TH-302 to our pipeline provides an important opportunity in several different tumor types to expand our oncology development program,” said Susan Jane Herbert, Head of Global Business Development and Strategy, Merck Serono. “Given the fact that pancreatic cancer is a very difficult to treat indication, successful Phase II results could represent an important upside for our company.”

“We are excited by the new resources that our partnership is going to bring to the development of TH-302 and the expertise in clinical development and commercialization that Merck will contribute to this program,” said Barry Selick, President and CEO of Threshold. “This collaboration provides Threshold a strong and committed partner with a shared vision for TH-302.”

Morrison & Foerster LLP acted as legal counsel for Threshold in this transaction.

About TH-302
TH-302 is a hypoxia-targeted drug that is thought to be activated under tumor hypoxic conditions, a hallmark for many cancer indications. Areas of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) within tissues are common in many solid tumors due to insufficient blood vessel growth. Similarly, the bone marrow of patients with hematological malignancies has also been shown, in some cases, to be extremely hypoxic.

TH-302 has been investigated in over 550 patients in Phase I/II clinical trials to date in a broad spectrum of tumor types, both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy treatments and other targeted cancer drugs.

Threshold has several ongoing clinical trials including, but not limited to, a controlled Phase 2 trial of TH-302 in combination with gemcitabine versus gemcitabine alone in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and a Phase 3 study evaluating TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

TH-302 development in soft tissue sarcoma

A Phase 3 trial of TH-302 in patients with first-line advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) was initiated in September 2011, based on results from a Phase 1/2 trial investigating its use in combination with the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin. This randomized, multi-center Phase 3 trial will investigate the use of TH-302 plus doxorubicin compared with doxorubicin alone. The primary efficacy endpoint is overall survival. The study is conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is being run in partnership with the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC) and aims to enroll 450 patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable STS.

TH-302 development in pancreatic cancer

Results from a randomized, controlled, multi-center Phase 2 trial of TH-302 in patients with first-line pancreatic cancer are expected to be announced in February 2012. This trial of 214 previously untreated patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma started in June 2010, and completed enrollment in June 2011. Two different doses of TH-302 in combination with the chemotherapeutic gemcitabine were compared to gemcitabine alone, with progression free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint.

Soft tissue sarcoma

Sarcomas are a group of aggressive cancers of connective tissue of the body for which there are currently limited treatment options. Soft tissue sarcomas are treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Doxorubicin as a single agent or in combination with ifosfamide are the most commonly used chemotherapeutic regimens in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, but response rates are generally low and toxicity can be significant. The American Cancer Society estimates that 10,980 people were diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma in the United States in 2011, and approximately 3,920 people died from the disease. In Europe, it is estimated that more than 32,000 people were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in 2010.

Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas with current treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Gemcitabine as a single agent or in combination with other treatments is the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is estimated that approximately 279,000 cases of pancreatic cancer were diagnosed worldwide in 2008. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death both in the United States and internationally. The American Cancer Society estimates that 44,030 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States in 2011, and approximately 37,660 people died from the disease.

* Drillholes that were previously reported by Silver Bull
** Intervals shown are mineralized lengths of core and are not necessarily true widths.

About the Mineralization: A thick “upper” dolomite unit is the favorable host rock for the silver oxide mineralization seen in the Shallow Silver Zone, especially when immediately adjacent to fault zones. The discovery of the new “Centenario Zone” at the end of 2011, which is hosted within a strategraphically “lower” dolomite unit and averages +100 meter intercepts at >60g/t Ag underlies the upper dolomite which hosts the Shallow Silver Zone and was not tested by many of the early holes drilled in 2011. During the first quarter of 2012 a number of these holes will be deepened to see if the mineralization seen in the Centenario zone continues to the south within the lower dolomite. Sections 631500E and 631600E shown below demonstrate this concept.

Figure 1. Location of the reported holes in relation to the shallow silver zone defined in the NI43-101 Resource report completed by SRK in October 2011.

Figure 2. Section 631500E showing the “Shallow Silver” and “Centenario” Zones in relation to the upper and lower dolomite units. It is planned that the lower dolomite unit will be explored in 2012 by deepening a number of holes drilled early in the 2011 drill campaign. Only drill holes with the prefix “B11” were drilled in 2011.

About the Shallow Silver Zone: Currently contains a NI43-101 compliant resource at a 15g/t cutoff grade of 47.3Moz of silver in the “indicated” category and 13.8Moz of silver in the “inferred” category. The mineralized body averages between 30m – 90m thick, is up to 200m wide and has an average grade of just over 50g/t silver. Mineralization remains open in the east, west, south and northerly directions. Approximately 60% of the current 3.2 kilometer mineralized body is at or near surface before dipping at around 10 degrees to the east.

NI43-101 Resource Update: The third in a series of NI43-101 resource updates is anticipated to be prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. “SRK” in Q2 of 2012. All available data up to February 28, 2012 will be given to SRK for inclusion in the report. Given the drilling results to date it is anticipated that SRK’s next report will show a substantial increase in the silver resource at Sierra Mojada, as well as including a resource for the significant zinc mineralization seen on the project.

Sample Analysis and QA/QC: All samples have been analyzed at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Samples are first tested with the “ME-ICP41m” procedure which analyzes for 35 elements using a near total aqua regia digestion. Samples with silver values above 100ppm are re-analyzed using the Ag-GRA21 procedure which is a fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Samples with zinc, lead, and copper values above 10,000ppm (1%) are re-analyzed using the AA46 procedure which is a near total aqua regia digestion with an atomic absorption finish.

A rigorous procedure is in place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified standards and blanks, as well as duplicate samples are routinely inserted into all sample shipments to ensure integrity of the assay process. The QA/QC of the assay results has been contracted to IOGlobal, an international and independent QA/QC and database management firm.

About Silver Bull: Silver Bull is a well funded, US registered mineral exploration company listed on both the NYSE Amex and TSX stock exchanges and based out of Vancouver, Canada. The flag ship “Sierra Mojada” project is located 150 kilometers north of the city of Torreon in Coahuila, Mexico and is highly prospective for silver and zinc. Silver Bull also owns three mineral exploration licences in Gabon, Africa, two of which are currently under joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Indicated and Inferred Resources: This press release uses the terms “indicated resources” and “inferred resources” which are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101. We advise U.S. investors that these terms are not recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The estimation of indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that indicated mineral resources will be converted into reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.

Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not subject NI 43-101.

Cautionary note regarding forward looking statements: This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and Silver Bull’s future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding indicated and inferred resource estimates, the anticipated scope and targets of future drilling in the Shallow Silver Zone and Centenario Zone and the timing and expected resource increase of Silver Bull’s next resource update. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about Silver Bull’s exploration projects, the industry in which Silver Bull operates and the beliefs and assumptions of Silver Bull’s management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including such factors as the results of exploration activities and whether the results continue to support continued exploration activities, unexpected variations in ore grade, types and metallurgy, volatility and level of commodity prices, the availability of sufficient future financing, and other matters discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and our other periodic and current reports filed with the SEC and available on www.sec.gov and with the Canadian securities commissions available on www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

TMNG Global (TMNG) Launches MDLx(SM), Breakthrough Mobile Device Leasing Solution

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TMNG Global (Nasdaq:TMNG), a premier provider of professional services and software solutions to the global leaders in the communications, digital media and technology industries, today announced a game-changing development for wireless carriers, their subscribers and device manufacturers with the first-ever mobile device leasing solution – Mobile Device Lease xChange (MDLx). MDLx is a third party administration (TPA) company that provides (1) a comprehensive and integrated business and operating model for mobile device leasing; and (2) the complete technology platform for lease administration and accounting.

“The economics of the mobile device market are complex and particularly burdensome for carriers, who must offer the latest technology at affordable price points. Escalating smartphone prices, higher subsidies absorbed by carriers, market-driven caps on consumer upfront payments and regulatory pressure to eliminate early termination fees – are all factors which contribute to frustrations for carriers, subscribers and even the OEMs,” said Don Klumb, TMNG Global’s CEO. “We think the market is ready for a viable smartphone leasing option. MDLx provides a complete solution that enables carriers to dramatically reduce their device subsidy obligations; provide subscribers access to the latest device technology as it becomes available and on a more frequent basis; and also benefits OEMs by decreasing their sales cycles by half and facilitating development of new technology with less concern for carrier subsidy constraints.”

Building upon TMNG’s proven business and operations support systems capabilities, as well as its Ascertain® software suite and its acquisition of an industry-proven TPA platform, MDLx has created an innovative, technology-based ecosystem for managing the entire mobile device leasing program structure. MDLx enables efficient, end-to-end support for carriers’ premises and billing systems, and back-end lease aggregation and management platform, including administration, finance, insurance, and handset recovery and redeployment capabilities.

“Our experience with handset recapture models, including our own SmartXchange offering, has proven that the rapidly advancing sophistication of smartphones gives them attractive residual values,” said Tom Murphy, MDLx’s Chief Marketing Officer. “The ability to capture that residual value is the basis for successful application of a lease model, and is what enables MDLx to pioneer an offering that’s highly compelling for players throughout the smartphone food chain. By designing an end-to-end, fully administered solution that addresses the pain points of carriers, subscribers and OEMs, we think MDLx offers the wireless industry a new option for dramatically improving its economic model.”

About MDLx

MDLx, a wholly-owned subsidiary of parent company, TMNG Global (Nasdaq:TMNG), provides carriers with an end-to-end solution, Mobile Device Lease xChange, that reduces the economic impact of handset subsidies, while providing consumers with access to more frequent mobile device upgrade opportunities. MDLx also allows OEMs to decrease sales cycles by half, while facilitating development of new technology with less concern for carrier subsidy constraints.

Corinthian Colleges (COCO) Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (Nasdaq:COCO) reported financial results today for the second quarter ended December 31, 2011. The results for the quarter exceeded previous guidance ranges for earnings per share and were within previous guidance ranges for revenue and new student enrollment.

“In the second quarter we remained focused on student outcomes, balancing expenses with current and projected enrollment, and improving the efficiency of back-end operations,” said Jack Massimino, Corinthian Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our student attrition and graduate employment trends continue to make incremental improvement, primarily the result of reducing the risk profile of our students and our ongoing efforts to help students succeed.”

“As anticipated, the rate of decline in new student enrollment growth improved significantly in the quarter,” Massimino said. “The improvement is the result of several factors, including a less challenging comparable from the second quarter last year, gradual stabilization in ground school new enrollments and continued strong growth at Everest University Online. In the last half of fiscal 2012, we expect new enrollments to be slightly positive.”

“To help offset recent declines in student population, over the past 18 months we have reduced annualized operating expenses by approximately $150 million,” Massimino said. “We also continue to pursue several growth initiatives, such as introducing new program offerings, opening new campuses, and growing our exclusively online enrollments.”

Comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2012 with the same quarter of the prior year:

• Net revenues were $415.5 million versus $481.7 million, a decrease of 13.7%.
• The total student population at December 31, 2011 was 94,860 versus 105,210 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of 9.8%.
• New student enrollments totaled 25,951 versus 26,758, a decrease of 3.0%.

• Operating income was $10.0 million, excluding severance charges of $2.7 million, compared with operating income of $33.1 million, excluding impairment and severance charges of $206.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
• Net income, excluding impairment and severance for both periods, was $3.4 million, compared with $19.1 million in the prior year.
• Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 per share versus a diluted loss per share of $(1.94). Excluding impairment and severance charges of $0.02 per share in Q2 12 and $2.17 per share in Q2 11, diluted earnings per share were $0.04 in Q2 12 versus $0.23 in Q2 11.

Financial Review

Educational services expense decreased $33.0 million, or 11.4%, from $288.6 million in Q2 11 to $255.6 million in Q2 12. As a percent of revenue, educational services expense increased from 59.9% in Q2 11 to 61.5% in Q2 12. The increase as a percent of revenue is primarily due to an increase in compensation and facilities expense, reflecting the fixed nature of these expenses against a lower revenue base, partially offset by improvement in bad debt expense.

Bad debt expense decreased to $14.6 million or 3.5% of net revenues for Q2 12 compared to $31.6 million or 6.6% of net revenues for Q2 11. The improvement in bad debt expense is primarily the result of continued efficiencies in packaging students with financial aid as a result of bringing processing in-house.

Marketing and admissions expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 1.9%, from $106.0 million in Q2 11 to $104.0 million in Q2 12. As a percent of revenue, marketing and admissions increased from 22.0% in Q2 11 to 25.0% in Q2 12. The increase as a percent of revenue is primarily attributable to a lower revenue base.

General and administrative expenses decreased $8.2 million, or 15.2% from $54.0 million in Q2 11 to $45.8 million in Q2 12. As a percent of revenue, G&A decreased from 11.2% in Q2 11 to 11.0% in Q2 12. The decrease reflects the company’s cost reduction initiatives.

Impairment and severance charges – During the second quarter, we recorded severance charges of $2.7 million.

The operating margin, excluding the impairment, facility closing and severance charges in both time periods, was 2.4% in Q2 12 versus 6.9% in Q2 11. The decline is primarily the result of lower enrollment in the ground schools, and fixed compensation and facilities expenses against a lower revenue base.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.4 million at December 31, 2011, compared with $107.4 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease results from the repayment of debt, partially offset by cash flows from operations.

Total debt and capital leases were $135.3 million at December 31, 2011, compared with $331.8 million at June 30, 2011.

Cash flow from operations was $137.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012, versus $4.0 million in the same period last year. The increase in cash flow is primarily related to the timing of cash payments and receipts related to working capital.

Capital expenditures were $20.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012, versus $65.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily the result of opening fewer new campuses.

Other

The company has signed a definitive agreement for the sale-leaseback of five of its Heald College facilities. The transaction is expected to generate proceeds of approximately $40 million, and close in mid-February, subject to customary closing conditions.

The following guidance excludes one-time charges:
