(www.yippy.com), formerly known as Cinnabar Ventures, Inc., is a new economy technology company that develops technologies and application services environments for both Consumer and Commercial market segments in the cloud computing sector.YIPI News:May 23 – Yippy, Inc. Retains Educational Industry Executive & Consultant Marc Bigelow Yippy, Inc. (OTC: YIPI), the providers of the world`s fastest, family friendly, educational search engine and web portal, reports that it has retained Mr. Marc Bigelow from Vast Resource Group LLC as the primary executive management consultant.Marc Bigelow comes to Yippy with over 22 years of senior management experience in the educational publishing, information and new media markets and is an adjunct professor at Sierra Nevada College. Marc has headed up executive transition teams for McGraw-Hill, Times Mirror, Thomson Learning (a division of Thomson Company) and most recently Gale Cengage which was purchased from the Thomson Company (now Thomson Reuters) for $7.75 billion by Apax Partners and OMERS Capital Partners. He also assisted in the transition of the educational business units from Times Mirror and McGraw-Hill where he supported college and K12 businesses that generated over $1.7 billion in annual revenue at the time. Marc`s main role will be to assist the executive management of the company to create strategic partnerships, joint ventures, fund raising and ready the company for a potential acquisition or merger.”I am beyond excited about what Yippy`s business model represents to the multi-billion dollar education markets and it is coming at just the right time. With the emergence of ebooks from traditional publishers and open source providers, the industry leaders of K12 and higher education institutions are looking for a way to manage all their educational resources within a safe browsing environment for their students. Yippy`s application services environment (ASE) provides the most comprehensive suite of student/family friendly programs I have ever seen in all my years in the education sector. They also own in my opinion the most efficient and logical search program for educational content and coupled with their K12 browser makes Yippy a serious player. I believe with the right partner(s) Yippy will be a top resource in the education research market, and that`s my main focus,” stated Marc Bigelow, Managing Partner, Vast Resource Group.He continues, “Yippy will significantly reduce school and library costs thru its program suite and provide access to tools that students, instructors and administrators can utilize effectively. Yippy is easy to use and they can create web based user interfaces for all types of educational situations such as but not limited to K12, Law, Medical and General Studies free of cost while providing the institutions with the ability to generate revenue from advertising, merchandise and other sources to offset current research subscription (pay for use) based models. Due to massive budget constraints in education and learning, I see Yippy as the most viable option for K12 – college research markets by private labeling research tools for each educational institution.””The company is extremely pleased to add Marc Bigelow to the team. He is the perfect guy at the right time to help move Yippy forward. Marc`s contacts in the space are extensive and his knowledge will be of great value to the shareholders of Yippy, Inc. I expect Marc will join the executive management team of Yippy once we have completed the tasks laid out and he would certainly be a great asset to help transition Yippy should we sell/merge the company with a larger entity in the future,” stated Richard Granville, CEO, Yippy, Inc.Yippy, Inc. has established a new toll-free number for customer service and company inquiries which is 1-877-YIPPY01.ORSUS XELENT TECHNOLGIES INCORPORATED (AMEX: ORS) “Up 26.45% on Tuesday” Detailed Quote:

(AMEX: ORS) (“Orsus” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of award-winning mobile phones for the Asian market, reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011.* Sales in the quarter declined to $3.91 million, compared with $7.6 million a year earlier.

* The Company achieved income from operations in the period of $342,000.

However, mainly due to a non-cash reversal of allowance for bad debt generating other income of $32,022,000 in the quarter, the Company reported net income of $32.03 million or $12.73 per share, compared with a loss of $(446,000) or $(0.18) per share a year earlier.

* Per share figures in each period are based on 2.52 million and 2.48 million weighted average shares outstanding respectively, which are a reflection of the 1:12 reverse share split effected by the Company in April, 2011.

* Stockholders` equity at the end of the first quarter was $27.54 million, compared with an accumulated stockholders` deficit of $(4.5 million) at the same time last year.Third Party Guarantee of Accounts Receivable Renewed on March 30, 2011The reversal of the allowance for bad debt is a consequence of the fact that following a year-end write down of those doubtful accounts (accounts receivable) in 2010 which were not covered by an expired third party guarantee agreement, on March 30, 2011 the Company entered into a Credit Guarantee Contract with Beijing Xingwang Shidai Tech and Trading Co.

The Company`s most pressing concerns — and the continuing primary focus of management attention — are cash flow and related going concern issues.Mr. Guoji Liu, CEO of the Company, stated, “We are pressing ahead with our previously described plans for a strategic merger and/or a capital raise and/or a loan to resolve our cash flow problem. We believe we have made progress in this regard, but have not yet succeeded and cannot predict the final outcome of our various discussions. It is only with success in securing additional cash that we will be able to move forward with plans to strengthen operations. These plans include a focus on product sales in developing regions such as Africa and the introduction of new products that conform to consumer demand and the needs of China`s telecom operators.””While we are in a difficult struggle,” Mr. Liu said, “we remain confident of a positive outcome and will keep shareholders informed of progress we may achieve.”OTCPicks.com is located at 3533 Twin Lakes Drive, Prosper, TX 75078, Telephone: (972) 546-3740, Email: Publisher@OTCPicks.com.This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it..DO NOT BASE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION UPON ANY MATERIALS FOUND ON THIS REPORT.
