Press Releases

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BRAVADA International (www.OnlyLeggings.com) (Pink Sheets: BRAV) announced today that BRAVADA CEO and founder Danny Alex, in a message to shareholders, said that, “BRAVADA International Ltd. is setting new standards in the world of microcap companies by creating real growth, real value, real return on investment and preserving and creating shareholder value despite the worst economy since the great depression.” BRAVADA International Ltd., with its World of Leggings retail stores and OnlyLeggings.com ecommerce web mall, has seen its revenue continue to grow at a very impressive rate with plans in 2012 to continue expansion in the realization of creating significant shareholder value.

Mr. Alex’s message to shareholders continued as follows:

“I can say with confidence that BRAVADA International Ltd. has reached the next level of its corporate development by achieving the ability to maintain and expand its operations with its own free cashflow derived from its own operations for the past three months. That is not to say that BRAVADA is void of any risks and potential jeopardy inherent in any business however, we see little to no need to raise capital for daily operations, only for large scale expansions when they occur. I have always maintained that this company, along with its Officers and Directors would, at all times, make decisions and operate for the benefit of all shareholders equally and make sacrifices commensurate with the desire to create real return on investment. This is no easy task and we have had many difficult decisions to make, many plans that did not work out as desired and made changes to our business plan and direction as more fruitful derivative opportunities made themselves evident. I never wavered in my commitment to all interested stakeholders and will continue to do so into the future.

“In early 2012, BRAVADA began a process to implement a number of new structural corporate infrastructure additions, the most significant of which is internal financial management so as to be able to grow its operations at the same accelerated pace in 2012 as it did in 2011 with discipline. A business generating millions of dollars in revenue cannot grow effectively without sophisticated financial management tools and controls. I expect to be making a specific statement and provide details with regards to these changes very shortly.

“BRAVADA is perhaps one of the very few pink sheet companies that set out with the intent to create and grow an idea, a vision, a concept and make good on creating real value for its shareholders. It is no secret that pink sheet penny stocks have a dubious reputation created by individuals that do not hold the same morals and standards that the Officers and Directors hold at BRAVADA and I applaud the efforts of the SEC, FINRA and other regulators in protecting shareholders from individuals that continually bring harm to the investing community. I strongly believe that BRAVADA has proven that the elements that allow for the formation of capital at the microcap level can work and can be developed to benefit investors and grow companies into 'going concerns' and maybe even into having a national and international presence. I believe that BRAVADA is a wonderful example of what can be achieved at the microcap level when the vices available to it are used in the creation of a common good for all shareholders equally.

“In closing I will say that the United States was founded by great people with great ideas that had access to a free market system that created wealth for millions of people honestly and with integrity. It is my hope that BRAVADA can lead by example and prove that the microcap market is an important one that can serve as an incubator for great ideas and a conduit for creating jobs and wealth for middle America. I look forward to 2012 and what BRAVADA may achieve. What is next for BRAVADA? As I have said in the past, I will let our revenue growth and financial performance speak for us.”

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As 2011 W-2 forms and 1099s start arriving in mailboxes throughout the country, now is the time to remind taxpayers with health savings accounts (HSAs) that they have until April 17 to contribute to their HSAs to maximize their 2011 deductions, up to the legal limit.

For 2011, HSA contributions are tax deductible up to $3,050 for individuals and up to $6,150 for families. HSA holders who are 55 and older can deduct an additional $1,000. In 2012, tax-deductible contribution limits have been increased to $3,100 for individuals and $6,250 for families.

Health savings accounts have two components: a tax-advantaged savings account coupled with a high-deductible health insurance plan. In addition to the tax savings, a high deductible health insurance plan paired with an HSA typically costs significantly less in monthly premiums compared to more traditional health insurance while still providing quality coverage, including preventive care.

Savings deposited into an HSA grow tax-deferred and can be withdrawn tax-free as long as the HSA dollars are used for qualified medical expenses, which include health insurance deductibles as well as vision and dental care that are not covered by health insurance plans.

“HSAs make sound financial sense because they enable consumers to save tax-free for their current and future medical needs,” said Richard A. Collins, CEO, UnitedHealthcare’s Golden Rule Insurance Company.

According to a recent Fidelity Investments® survey, “almost seven in 10 (68 percent) of pre-retirees said the cost of medical care in retirement is one of their three biggest financial concerns.”

“Unspent HSA savings can accumulate year after year, earning interest. This helps build up a ‘medical nest egg’ that can be valuable later in life when health care needs can increase significantly,” Collins said.

To learn more about HSAs, visit www.HSAcenter.com, an interactive online resource developed by Golden Rule to educate consumers about the advantages that health savings accounts offer. Golden Rule’s expertise in the consumer-directed health care market goes back more than 20 years when the company introduced the first medical savings account (MSA), predecessor to the HSA.

Unique Hitless Adaptive Coding and Modulation Ensures Availability During One of India’s Rainiest Monsoon Seasons

PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Siklu, provider of the EtherHaul millimeter wave wireless backhaul solution, has announced that its radio performed flawlessly in a challenging trial in Mumbai, India, during the 2011 monsoon season.

A leading Indian mobile operator led a six-month trial and concluded that the Siklu EtherHaul delivers a robust wireless backhaul solution under all weather conditions. Having already established a leading position in the European E-band backhaul market, Siklu is now poised to deliver its low-cost, high-capacity backhaul to the Indian market.

A series of EtherHaul links were deployed at various distances and their performance and availability were monitored for an entire monsoon season in Mumbai. The monsoon in that region is one of the harshest in India, and the 2011 season was particularly challenging.

As a result of this trial, Siklu has demonstrated that its EtherHaul E-band systems can be effectively used in India, for last mile backhaul of mobile and business services.

“We are pleased with the performance of the Siklu EtherHaul trial in the Indian weather conditions,” said an executive of the operator. “Now we can benefit from the underutilized E-band spectrum and deliver high-capacity at a very low cost as soon as the pricing of the spectrum will be finalized.”

Siklu excelled in the E-band trial thanks to its unique hitless adaptive bandwidth, coding and modulation capabilities (ABCM™) that provide a very large dynamic range. This exceptional ABCM implementation allows the EtherHaul to cope with high attenuation, ensuring reliable performance even under very rainy conditions.

Siklu will be exhibiting at Mobile World Congress, February 27-March 1 in Barcelona, showcasing its EtherHaul millimeter wave systems in Hall 2, 2C72, and Hall 6, C50.

About Siklu

Siklu has been committed to reducing the cost of high capacity wireless backhaul solutions since 2008. The company's success centers on an innovative silicon-based design of the millimetric wave radio system and components that has resulted in the lowest cost millimeter wave systems available. The EtherHaul radios deliver gigabit speeds over the millimetric wave spectrum and are ideal for urban wireless backhaul of macro, micro and picocells. Serving providers around the world, Siklu Communication is based near Tel Aviv, Israel.
