Aldila Signs Merger Pact with Mitsubishi Rayon America; Aldila Holders to Get $4/Share in Deal

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Nonprofit Quarterly (NPQ) has been following a controversy in Alabama involving a battle between the non-profit <a href="http://www.sarrelldental.org/">Sarrell Dental Center</a> and the state's for-profit, private "dental cartel" and its trade organization - the <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CCYQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aldaonline.org%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=alabama%20dental%20association&amp;ei=IPAdTpKdKOaPsQKCleG5CA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHK0Ik5bPhyJKv45U59GG813gWXaQ&amp;sig2=G1WMTb0tc2hXHsw0xGHzPA&amp;cad=rja">Alabama Dental Association</a> (<a class="ticker" href="/stock/alda#">ALDA</a>), see news reports <a href="http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=2187:nonprofit-newswire--alabama-nonprofit-vs-for-profit-dental-battle&amp;catid=155:daily-digest&amp;Itemid=986">here</a> (4/13/2010), <a href="http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=11806:nonprofit-dental-clinic-in-alabama-generates-opposition-from-dentists-and-special-interests&amp;catid=155:nonprofit-newswire&amp;Itemid=986">here</a> (4/28/11) and <a href="http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=13886:nonproit-dentistry-gathers-traction&amp;catid=155:nonprofit-newswire&amp;Itemid=986">here</a> (7/9/2011).  Here's some background:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">From the clinic's website: "Sarrell Dental is a non-profit that treats the dental and optical needs  of Alabama children ages 1-20 with Medicaid or ALLKids insurance.   Sarrell Dental was founded in 2004 in Anniston, and since then Sarrell  has grown to include 11 other offices and it operates a mobile dental  bus which travels to schools and daycare centers throughout the state.  Since  2006, Sarrell has grown to include optical services in 5 of its  locations."</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">From NPQ: "The clinic gave away  $400,000 in dental care to patients in 2010, never turns away a patient  even if they are late or don't have appointments, and, according to the  CEO, “If they make it here, somehow, somewhere, even if we have to stay  late, we'll see them.” </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The $10 million Sarrell  clinic, now the largest dental provider in the state, is turning away  job applicants and, according to the CEO, has “never had a complaint  from a consumer,” unlike other Medicaid specialty practices. There's no evidence – and no charges – that Sarrell is offering subpar  services."</div></p>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>MP:</b> So what's the problem? There really is none, unless you're a for-profit, private dentist and you don't welcome the competition from a non-profit organization.  In that case, you exercise your political  muscle and try to put your nonprofit competitor out of business, which the ALDA attempted to do, even though Sarrell was providing excellent, and sometime free, dental service to Alabama's under-served, poor children.  Sarrell countered with an anti-trust lawsuit against Alabama's dental cartel for trying to engage in monopolistic, anti-competitive behavior. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Bottom Line:</b> It now looks a <a href="http://www.sarrelldental.org/nonprofit-quarterly-%E2%80%93-lessons-from-the-victory">compromise has been reached</a>, signed by the governor, that will allow Sarrell to continue to operate under the supervision of the Alabama Board of Dental Examiners. In return, Sarrell will drop its antitrust lawsuit, although the FTC may still pursue action against the "dental cartel" for its attempts to put its non-profit competition out of business. </div>

(TSX VENTURE:APH)(OTCBB:APCSF) ("the Company" or "ALDA") announces that, in tests conducted at an independent laboratory in the US, T36(R) Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer has been shown to completely kill the new H1N1 Virus (Swine-like H1N1 Influenza A virus Strain A/California/04/2009) in 15 seconds or less.</p>
<p>Dr. Terrance Owen, President &amp; CEO states, "Since the first outbreak of the new H1N1 virus strain in Mexico in March of this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been warning that this particular strain of the virus could cause a global pandemic. By early June, the virus had reached all six WHO regions with nearly 30,000 confirmed cases reported in 74 countries. On June 11, 2009, the WHO raised its global pandemic alert level to "Level Six", the highest level possible, for the first time since 1968. A Level Six pandemic means that a virus is spreading widely in at least two of the six WHO regions. The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games ("VANOC") is committed to providing a safe environment for people from all over the world to come and participate and observe the Games. We decided to test T36(R) Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer against this new strain of H1N1 that is the subject of the pandemic warning and are pleased that it has proven to be very effective. We look forward to providing T36(R) Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer to help protect people who are coming to Vancouver in 2010 and doing our part to contribute to the success of the Games".</p>
