Business Wire
Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:PST) announced today that
its Board of Directors has approved the divestiture of the
Company's non-healthcare assets to allow the Company to focus on
its patient safety related assets through SurgiCount Medical and
opportunities in the healthcare sector. The Company had previously
acquired assets in the digital media, financial services and real
estate sectors when it operated as Franklin Capital, a Business
Development Company. "This decision by our Board of Directors will
allow us to focus on our promising patient safety business, which
has made great strides recently in commercializing its
Safety-Sponge(TM), retained surgical sponge incident reducing
system,'' said Milton ``Todd'' Ault III, PST's Chairman and CEO.
``The growth opportunities at both SurgiCount and in related
healthcare areas are so compelling that we want to deploy all of
our resources toward these efforts. The recent announcement by
Digicorp underscores the great value that is inherent in PST's
non-core assets, and in the coming months we will take initiatives
to monetize this value through a series of transactions.''
Recently, Digicorp entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Rebel
Crew Films, Inc., a Los Angeles-based film licensing and
distribution company, owned and founded by Jay Rifkin and Cesar
Chatel. Rifkin brings more than 20 years of experience building
successful media and interactive marketing companies, including
Mojo Records, a joint venture with Universal Records that was
ultimately sold to Zomba/BMG; Media Ventures, a creative
entertainment cooperative that became an industry-leading source
for original film and television music; and, Media Revolution, a
cutting edge developer of advanced, integrated consumer marketing
solutions whose clients include Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, and
Twentieth Century Fox. Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (PST) is a
developer and manufacturer of patient safety products and services,
working toward becoming the leader in the patient safety sector.
Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, the company's flagship
product is its Safety-Sponge(TM) System, which helps in reducing
the number of retained sponges and towels in patients during
surgical procedures and allows for faster and more accurate
counting of surgical sponges. For more information on Patient
