involves the use of inventions, processes, and knowledge developed by subject
matter experts to create and enhance private sector businesses. Technology
transfer involves a wide range of approaches to get technologies to market,
including licensing to larger, more established companies, establishing equity
transactions to provide technology to startup businesses, and entering into
research and development agreements, including Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) programs, to collaboratively advance the technology toward
commercialization.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To further expand the use of LICA’s redesigned
website, all significant forms of social media have been incorporated. LICA believes it is the first regional
capital formation services organization to have its own YouTube channel. Other social media capabilities include Twitter,
Linked In, Facebook, and a link to LICA’s blog, all provided in an effort to expand
the reach of capital providers and local emerging businesses.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Neil Kaufman,
chairman of LICA and chairman of the corporate department at Abrams Fensterman,
stated that, “One of the exciting enhancements to our new website is a section
that provides online videos of our capital forum presentations and investor
panels, which will be easily accessible by prospective investors and
entrepreneurs. In this way, we are looking forward to taking full advantage of
the impending SEC rule change permitting general advertising of Rule 506
private placements to accredited investors, in order to bring maximum benefit
to our presenting companies and investors.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">LICA
recognizes that the competition for capital is intense – even with the best
investment ideas, strongest management teams and sophisticated strategic
partners. LICA continues to do its part
to facilitate access to investment for the local business community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">LICA’s
new website provides improved access and registration for the organization’s
events. Online registration is now
available for the next event -- the Biotech Technology Transfer Capital Forum
with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scheduled for June 14, 2013. At this event, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
scientists will present some of the exciting new technologies developed there
to biotech investors, and investors will have an opportunity to meet and
establish relationships with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory officials and
scientists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the leading non-profit capital formation and business development organization
serving regional companies, today announced the successful completion of its
Health Care Capital Forum held on March 8, 2013.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The capital forum, held in collaboration with

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Neil Kaufman,

of LICA as a pivotal player in capital formation leading to economic
development in the region.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very
excited to build on this momentum, as we plan our next event in partnership
with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, one of the nation’s leading research
facilities for <span style="color: #262a2b;">molecular biology and genetics, </span>that
focuses on the bio/pharma sector of the health care industry.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Even with the weather impact, we made a couple
of good contacts. At events like this it is not about the number of people who

Crane, Chief Executive Officer of Mobile Health One, a presenting company at

The Applied Science Foundation for Homeland Security, a member of the Long Island Forum for Technology (LIFT) family of companies, hosted DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on Sept. 24, where she emphasized the importance of shared responsibility in homeland security -- by private citizens, local first responders and government. <br />
<br />
The secretary visited the Foundation in Bethpage, NY, to learn more about one of the nation’s most successful non-governmental, public-private partnerships. <br />
<br />
Napolitano is the first member of President Obama’s cabinet to visit the Foundation since its founding. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect the U.S. from man-made and natural disasters. The Foundation accomplishes this goal by bringing together, and working with, the public, private and academic sectors in its state-of-the-art homeland security C4I facility to develop and commercialize first responder-driven products and technologies. <br />
<br />
“We recognized early on that the homeland security enterprise requires everyone working together,” Foundation President Frank Otto said, in welcoming Napolitano. “That is why we have forged valuable partnerships with, among others, both national and local organizations such as the Long Island Software and Technology Network (LISTnet), the Long Island Capital Alliance (LICA) and Accelerate Long Island to advance all of our missions.”<em> </em><br />
<br />
The Secretary’s visit began with a tour of Nassau County’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) which is housed at the Foundation’s Morrelly Center. While there, Nassau Count OEM Commissioner Craig Craft provided an overview of the OEM and its working partnership with the Foundation. <br />
<br />
Napolitano next toured the Foundation’s Cyber Operations Integrated Network Facility (COIN), a state-of-the-art homeland security C41 facility where technologies for homeland security applications are being developed and tested. While in the COIN, she met with representatives of DHS S&T and some of the Foundation’s resident companies, also known as “Resident Research Partners.” She also saw demonstrations of several DHS-funded technologies, including: VCORE’s Regional Common Operating Picture (RCOP), which is a four-dimensional situational awareness technology that provides real-time information to first responders in the event of a regional or local catastrophic event, and Applied Visions’ <em>WildCAT</em> program which is designed to detect, locate and analyze wireless cyber security threats and vulnerabilities. The DHS secretary also learned about <em>Project SAFEguard</em>, a program designed to enhance the emergency management programs of schools, municipalities and other entities. <br />
<br />
In her remarks, she expressed that homeland security should be non-partisan and that the mission is to maximize our ability to minimize risk. She noted the importance of the front line being well-equipped and empowered. Most importantly, the Secretary expressed DHS’s emphasis on the nation’s core critical infrastructure, in particular stating the need to make sure the U.S. doesn’t have big gaps where the electrical grid and infrastructure are concerned. <br />

LIFT has provided a number of companies that will present at our Homeland Security and Defense Capital Forum, and we look forward to further collaboration now and in the future. Each presenting company has been hand picked by LICA for this event, and possesses what we and LIFT believe is the “Wow Factor” that may serve as the catalyst for significant growth.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />

As our constituent companies can attest, accessing the capital markets for small, growing businesses is vitally important yet extremely challenging.

The new enhanced easy-to-navigate site has numerous benefits for LICA members. Read on to learn more about the site.<br />
<br />
The new website has a <a href="http://www.licapital.org/licapital/members/default.asp">“Members Only” area</a> which can be entered through a login and password. And don’t worry if you forgot your password. All you need to do is click the “Forgot Your Password?” link and your password will be sent to you via e-mail. Within this new Members Only area, you can now enter an area of the site that will allow you, the member, to manage your own profile or business listing. You have the ability to keep your own information up to date and current. But even better is the opportunity to control the information that you want to display on your member profile. You can include as much or as little as you choose, plus you decide what others can see. You can also add a photo of yourself or logo for your company, and share files with other members. This is all available for members of LICA to enhance the networking experience.<br />
<br />
Another new feature of the website is the ability to search for other members. Member profiles, company and website will be accessible through a search of the member database. This will now increase your member and company visibility. Members can also be reached through the LICA website using a safe, spam free contact form. The networking doesn't have to end when the physical meetings end. All members of LICA can continue networking online, through the website, to make new contacts and generate new opportunities. Event registration is now easier than ever for members with 2-click event registration. Registration for non-members is also easy with a short form and payment option. <br />
<br />
On the new website you will also find out about current LICA news through links to our <a href="http://twitter.com/licapital">Twitter page</a>, our <a href="http://licapital.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, and soon we will be involved with other social media sites.<br />
<br />
The LICA website is growing.

Ken was a highly respected professional in the Long Island business community. His reputation as a tenacious advocate for manufacturing and technology companies is embodied in the growth of the Long Island Forum for Technology of which he was President. Unlike many others who talk the talk, Ken walked the walk. His devotion to the Long Island business community is exceeded only by his strong love for his family. He will be sorely missed. The LICA Board extends its heartfelt condolences to his wife, children and grand children. <a href="http://libn.com/blog/2009/10/02/lift-president-ken-morrelly-dies/" target="_blank">For more information visit LIBN</a>.<br />
