Xyience Inc., a company that offers products providing clean, sustainable energy to individuals who value nutrition and lead a healthy, active lifestyle, is currently headed by Adam Roseman who has been its Interim Chief Executive of Xyience Inc. since January 2007.  Latest news from the company is about the orange flavored drinks.  Often people associate the flavor with health benefits so the Xenergy Orange Blast from Xyience might have the same impact.  Reviews have claimed that the drink has a terrific buzz with its mega caffeine injection.  In addition the drink is infused with Taurine, Ginseng, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine , and lots of vitamin B, while being calorie-less at the same time.  What a terrific energy boost!

Piper Jaffray Companies recently announced a net income of $7.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, for the second quarter which ended June 30, 2010.  This is a significant decrease for the figures for the first quarter of the year when figures were $127.7 million. The company’s chairman and CEO Andrew S. Duff, commented: “We had mixed performance for the quarter. We generated solid investment banking results attributable to equity financing and advisory fee revenues. These results were partially offset, however, by significantly lower fixed income revenues driven by very challenging trading conditions in the second quarter.” When working in the West Coast Corporate Finance Group at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in San Francisco, Adam Roseman was advising fortune 500 clients on their strategic mergers and acquisitions initiatives and in the Technology Investment Banking Group at US Bancorp Piper Jaffray in Menlo Park.

Part of the campaign to get the word out about the importance of being a big brother or big sister is public service announcements which express the importance, and fun which both the big and little brother experience from the relationship. In 2006 one such advertisement showed a young man about to play a game of chess with his little brother. Their joy encountering each other is shown in a graceful and gentle way.

Adam Roseman is on the Board of Trustees of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.

Back in 2006 Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, on whose Board of Trustees Adam Roseman sits, produced a short but beautiful public service announcement to promote to the public the simplicity but importance of being a big brother.

The PSA shows a boy, about 12 years old, and a man, throwing pebbles and small rocks into a lake while the sun is setting.  Word appears on top of the scene which says “When you are a mentor, you can go to a movie, or to the library or to a museum. But sometimes the most important thing you can do is not much at all. Be a friend, be a mentor. Just be there.”

In the news at Big Brothers, Big Sisters is the announcement that the “world renowned advertising firm” DDB created a new public service announcement on their behalf. Dubbed with the title “Angel” the PSA advertisement exists in two formats, a 30 second and 60 second length “spot.”
The ad depicts a man with white, feathery wings living his ordinary life, showering, going to work, until, at the end of the day he goes to meet a young boy with whom he is going to play basketball. The message is clear that even the most ordinary person can transform himself into an angel when he helps someone by just being there.

Representing ARC China in early June was Barry Freeman, a managing director in the Shanghai office of ARC China.  Mr. Freeman was one of the noted speakers at the 12th China Venture Capital and Private Equity Forum, presenting to a large number of interested parties including, investors, entrepreneurs, officials and policy-makers, experts and professional, all brought together to share ideas and discuss the investing  climate in today’s China. The focus of Mr. Freeman’s presentation was the activist investment strategy of ARC China which emphasizes the opportunities in the Tier II and Tier III areas of China.

The forum was held in Shenzhen, China, from June 4-6, 2010. ARC China was a natural participant, as it focuses most prominently on investing in the domestic consumption-oriented high-growth enterprises in China.

Mr. Freeman commented during his presentation that, “ARC China feels that the key risks of investing in Chinese public and private companies are corporate governance, financial transparency, and control over the exit of our investment. We require an active role in these three areas for all of our portfolio companies. ARC China has found Chinese entrepreneurs to be very receptive to our advice as they understand the long-term, mutually beneficial value that is created by implementing systems and processes supporting these key areas.”

The hosts of the forum were the Central Committee of China National Democratic Construction Association, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, and People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality.

ARC China, where Adam Roseman is the founder and CEO, advises that investors should shift out of companies that rely on overseas sales that should move towards those that sell products domestically.  Such advice comes as they explain that China’s export model is in need of repair.

As Adam Roseman explained in a recent interview, “The export economy model is completely broken. They are working as fast as they can to develop their domestic economy.”

ARC China recommends, instead, to invest in Chinese retailers and similar industries, and to also invest in companies that focus on energy efficiency.

China has placed a huge economic focus on their energy-saving and carbon emission-reduction projects, allocating 210 billion Yuan ($31 billion) for these purposes.

As Adam Roseman ARC China points out, “There’s tremendous pressure from the civilian level all the way to the very senior government officials to make China cleaner,” Roseman said.
