WILMINGTON, DE--(Marketwire - October 7, 2009) - Universal Capital Management, Inc. (OTCBB: [ UCMT ]), a Wilmington, Delaware business development company that provides management and strategic growth resources to emerging growth companies, is pleased to see exceptional progress being made with one of its portfolio companies, Lightwave Logic, Inc.

In June of 2006 Lightwave Logic [ reported ], and the University of Arizona confirmed, an r33 performance of 12pm/V with a loading of 3%. These results demonstrated that Lightwave's material outperformed the nearest competitor by 700%. Lightwave's most recent test results indicated r33 performance readings of between 25pm/V and 80pm/V with loading ranges of 4 to 10%. We believe these readings are unprecedented. Just as remarkable is the loading ranges of between 4% and 10%. These loadings are far better than previous readings and well within commercially acceptable ranges -- a marked improvement over past results! In addition, Lightwave's materials appear to have demonstrated long term stability and it is our understanding that the materials now have the solubility they lacked during prior testing.

These accomplishments are extraordinary and a credit to their scientific team. This is the type of news we have been waiting for and we look forward to the completion of their modulator in the near future. Lightwave Logic was Universal Capital's first holding back in 2004.
