The posting, headlined "Implant Sciences: Little Known Pure-Play On Bomb Detection Systems Starting To Attract Investor Attention," can be viewed by clicking on the link [ http://blogs.forbes.com/genemarcial/ ]

Gene Marcial, who many readers know from his 28 years as author of Business Week's "Inside Wall Street" column, describes Implant Sciences as "a pure-play whose unique, patented technologies have started to stir investor interest." This assessment is supported by comments from Rob Goldman, analyst at Goldman Small Cap Research, who is quoted in the posting, "With demand for its product starting to mount, Implant has become an attractive pure play in explosives-detection."

Also quoted is Gregory MacArthur, president of investment consulting firm ViewPoint2000, who states, "Implant's technologies... have a broader market and greater demand than those of security metal detectors." Later in the posting Gene Marcial writes, "With Implant's strong growth prospects, says MacArthur, the stock offers great upside potential over the next six to 12 months. He believes the stock is worth $3 to $4 a share."
