WhereNet Supports New ISO Active RFID Real-Time Locating System StandardDozens of Countries and Companies Drive Adoption of First Global Standard for RTLS to Encourage Interoperability of Products in Rapidly Growing Market

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- WhereNet Corp., a Zebra Technologies company and the leader in wireless solutions for tracking and managing enterprise assets, announced today its support for the first global technical standard for real-time locating systems (RTLS). Recently published by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the ISO/IEC 24730 standard defines an air interface protocol and an application programming interface (API) for use in RTLS applications. The new standard will enable multi-vendor compatibility and encourage interoperability of products for the growing RTLS market, thereby driving broad international adoption and integration of wireless location systems by global companies.

"Standards are valuable because they give end users confidence that a technology has been well vetted by the technical community, they promote interoperability, and they encourage a competitive marketplace. ISO/IEC 24730-2 well serves these purposes and begins an era of standardized real-time locating systems," said Craig K. Harmon, President & CEO, Q.E.D. Systems, the industry's leading consulting and standards advisory organization.

"With its bottom-line business benefits and proven return on investment, RTLS is being embraced on a global scale and ratification of this standard will further accelerate adoption," said Jon Rosselle, vice president for SSA Terminals. "Creation of a global standard for tracking mobile assets in campus-wide environments will get more vendors involved in building out RTLS architectures, leading to additional capabilities and price reductions. In particular, the international shipping industry, which has more than 18 million intermodal containers in use around the world, will benefit from this newly established standard, since shippers and carriers have longed for a solution that provides visibility throughout their supply chain."

International Collaboration at Work

WhereNet is a member of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 5 (International Standards Organization/International Electrotechnical Commission, Joint Technical Committee 1, Sub Committee 31, Working Group 5), and participates as a member of the U.S. delegation within the international community; other members of the delegation include representatives from APL, the Department of Defense, and Q.E.D. Systems, to name a few. Delegations from other countries include representatives from Denso, ETRI, Hyundai, G2 Microsystems, and numerous others.

The ISO/IEC 24730 standard has been ratified by ISO member countries, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Columbia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others.

"This ISO standard is a tribute to a strong partnership of the international community of government and industry. Although many proprietary technologies are being modified to provide limited locating functions, this is the first and only internationally accepted, high-precision locating standard for assets and people," said Tim Harrington, vice president of product strategies for WhereNet and document editor for ISO 24730-2. "Furthermore, ISO/IEC 24730 lends credence to the fact that the technology used by WhereNet is openly available to other companies to develop products. In fact, G2 Microsystems and GE Healthcare are among those already designing products to this standard."

About ISO/IEC 24730

The fundamental goal of the ISO/IEC 24730 standard is to allow for compatibility and to encourage interoperability of products for the growing RTLS market. The ISO/IEC divided the standard into two parts:

-- ISO/IEC 24730-1 defines an API needed for utilizing an RTLS. It enables software applications to utilize an RTLS infrastructure to locate assets with RTLS transmitters attached to them. It defines a boundary across which application software uses facilities of programming languages to collect information contained in RTLS tag blinks received by the RTLS infrastructure. -- ISO/IEC 24730-2, the 2.4 GHz air interface protocol, establishes a technical standard for real-time locating systems that operate at an internationally available 2.4 GHz frequency band and are intended to provide approximate location with frequent updates (for example, several times a minute). This part of the standard defines a networked location system that provides x-y coordinates and data telemetry. The system utilizes RTLS transmitters that autonomously generate a direct- sequence spread-spectrum radio frequency beacon. The transmitters may be field programmable and support an optional exciter mode that allows modification of the rate of location update and location of the RTLS device. About WhereNet Corp.

A Zebra Technologies company, WhereNet is the first company to deliver a single wireless location and communication infrastructure that reliably and cost-effectively manages valuable mobile resources and delivers a complete return on investment within 6-12 months. Based on patented, standards- compliant technology resulting from a collective 100+ years of development, the WhereNet active RFID, real-time locating system solutions enable companies such as APL, BMW, Ford Motor Company, and NYK Logistics and facilities like Tobyhanna Army Depot to reduce inventory, lower operating costs, and improve operations.

University Hospital Denmark Uses Brocade-Based Storage Area Network and Professional Services to Improve Data Availability

SAN JOSE, California, April 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- Denmark's Leading Hospital Implements SAN to Better Manage Virtual Data for Doctors

Brocade(R) (Nasdaq: BRCD), the leader in networked storage solutions that help enterprises connect and manage their information, today announced that Rigshospitalet, the leading Scandinavian University Hospital, is building a Storage Area Network (SAN) to improve access to vital patient records and specialist services for 20,000 doctors, nurses, and staff working across seven hospitals.

The University Hospital, which celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2007, is the administrative center for seven hospitals in Denmark. In addition to managing the administration of this new network, the University Hospital found that its own data demands and storage use were growing rapidly, requiring it to upgrade its existing storage servers to a SAN. The SAN has enabled the hospital to roll out specialist services, such as a medicine module that helps ensure the availability of patient records, medicine orders, and other information. The medicine module has 800 different roles and, depending on access rights, enables staff and doctors to order patient drugs, track patient records, share patient files, and perform other administrative tasks.

The Brocade SAN has enabled the hospital to better utilize its existing storage by facilitating administration and management. More importantly, it helps ensure that doctors working across the hospital network can access and share vital patient information when they need it.

The SAN consists of Brocade SAN switches and Brocade 48000 Directors, linked to IBM storage (including TotalStorage DS8100). The project was managed by the local Brocade Professional Services team working in tandem with IBM. Over the coming months, the University Hospital will be seeking to increase redundancy and security within the storage network.

"When we took on administrative duties for the rest of the network, it quickly became clear that we had to upgrade our existing storage infrastructure," said Jorgen Krogh Larsen, SAN and Storage Manager, Rigshospitalet. "For us, storage is the most important part of the storage area network equation and it made sense to work with the leader in this area: Brocade."

The Brocade SAN has benefited the University Hospital in numerous ways. Krogh Larsen continued, "In the future, the storage area network will be able to serve up to 45,000 users on the system. Because access to information for the hospital staff is so vital for patient care, availability is a key requisite for the SAN and as such we have also just signed an Enterprise Supplemental Support contract with Brocade Services to maximize reliability. Performance will also have to be closely monitored, especially the speed of the network, so we are looking into monitoring tools, such as the Brocade SAN Health utility."

"Working with the University Hospital has been a really rewarding project," said Bent Jorgensen, Brocade Regional Manager Nordics. "Implementing a SAN has had great benefits for patient care across the different hospitals by ensuring that doctors and staff can access necessary records any time, anywhere."

VimpelCom Announces New Stock Repurchase Program

MOSCOW and NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Open Joint Stock Company "Vimpel-Communications" ("VimpelCom" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized VC ESOP N.V., or VC ESOP, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, to repurchase up to 1,600,000 American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, which is equivalent to up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value 0.5 kopecks per share, through December 31, 2008. The number of shares underlying ADSs that may be repurchased equals approximately 0.8% of VimpelCom's common stock currently outstanding. The Company and VC ESOP intend to utilize the repurchased shares for the issuance of stock based compensation awards.

VimpelCom intends to establish a systematic purchasing plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate repurchases of up to 800,000 ADSs, which is equivalent to up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, under the repurchase program. Rule 10b5-1 permits a public company to repurchase its shares at times when it ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Under the Rule 10b5-1 plan, certain specified amounts of ADSs would be purchased on a daily basis provided that specified trading prices are achieved. The Rule 10b5-1 plan would commence on May 1, 2007 and expire upon the earliest of December 31, 2007, the purchase of all the ADSs covered by the plan, or certain other specified events. Purchases would be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, all in accordance with U.S. and Russian securities law, including the volume, price, timing and other requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. VimpelCom also intends to establish a similar purchasing plan in 2008 to facilitate repurchases of up to an additional 800,000 ADSs, which is equivalent to up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, under the repurchase program.

The Company also announced that it has amended its Amended and Restated VimpelCom 2000 Stock Option Plan to increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the plan from 650,000 to 1,050,000 common shares (equivalent to 4,200,000 ADSs).

The VimpelCom Group includes cellular companies operating in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and recently acquired companies in Georgia and Armenia. The VimpelCom Group's cellular license portfolio covers a territory with a population of about 240 million. This includes 77 regions of Russia (136.5 million people, representing 94% of the Russia's population), and the entire territories of Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, and Armenia. VimpelCom was the first Russian company to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). VimpelCom's ADSs are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "VIP".

This press release contains "forward-looking statements," as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The statements related to the Company and VC ESOP's ability to repurchase ADSs and establish a Rule 10b5-1 plan are based on management's best assessment of the Company's strategic and financial position and of future market conditions and opportunities. This discussion involves risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of changes in market conditions, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulations of the wireless telecommunications industry, general political uncertainties in Russia and the CIS, general economic developments in Russia and the CIS and other factors. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the effects of competition or current or future changes in the political, economic and social environment or current or future regulation of the telecommunications industries in Russia or the countries of the CIS will not have a material adverse effect on VimpelCom, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to undertake any of the actions described above in the manner described in this press release. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in any forward- looking statements include the risks described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 and other public filings made by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. VimpelCom disclaims any obligation to update developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release, or to make corrections to reflect future events or developments.

McAfee, Inc. Releases New Research Suggesting Data Loss Will Lead to Next Major Corporate CollapseA Third of Enterprises Surveyed Believe a Major Breach Could Put Their Companies Out of Business

INFOSEC, LONDON, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc., , today announced it has released a report, Datagate: The Next Inevitable Corporate Disaster?, revealing a widespread belief that a major security breach, even an unintentional one, could lead to the collapse of a major corporation. The global research, conducted for McAfee(R) by Datamonitor, surveyed more than 1400 IT professionals at companies with at least 250 employees in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Australia. Thirty-three percent of respondents said they believe a major data loss incident involving accidental or malicious distribution of confidential data could put them out of business.

The research also suggests that while awareness regarding the danger of breaches is high, the problem continues to grow. Sixty percent of respondents said they had experienced a data breach in the past year, and only six percent of respondents could say with certainty that they had not experienced one in the previous two years. However, despite the prevalence of breaches, enterprises are still devoting just a fraction of their IT budgets to the problem. On average respondents spend just one-half of one percent of their overall IT budgets on data security.

Additional key findings from the research include: -- A data breach that exposed personal information would cost companies an average of $268,000 to inform their customers -- even if the lost data is never used -- Sixty-one percent of respondents think that data leakage is the doing of insiders, and 23 percent believe those leaks are malicious -- Nearly half (46 percent) of respondents don't debrief or monitor employees after they have given notice that they are leaving the company -- Twenty-three percent of respondents were able to estimate the total annual cost of data leakage, and the average figure they gave was $1.82 million -- Respondents rated loss of intellectual property and financial information as the two most valuable classes of data -- with the average estimated cost of leaked financial data reaching $1.68 million.

"Six in ten companies admitting a breach in just the past year is ample proof that more needs to be done to address this very serious problem," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer at McAfee, Inc. "Awareness alone isn't enough. To protect customers, employees and shareholders, data loss prevention needs to become a top priority at every level of the organization, from the board room to the lunch room."

McAfee, Inc. Expands Data Loss Prevention SolutionNew Data Loss Prevention Gateway Adds Another Layer of Protection to McAfee's Security Risk Management Portfolio

INFOSEC, LONDON, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc. today announced McAfee(R) Data Loss Prevention (DLP), the industry's most comprehensive solution for preventing both accidental and malicious loss of confidential data. The ability to prevent data loss at the network level and on the desktop, makes McAfee the largest security company to offer a complete data loss prevention solution, and the only company to offer it as part of a comprehensive security risk management portfolio.

Recent high profile cases have shown that the cost of confidential data loss can have a major impact on a company's bottom line, with losses reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. New research from Datamonitor, commissioned by McAfee, underscores the problem, and shows that 33 percent of IT decision makers believe a major data loss incident could put their company out of business.

"Data loss is a burning issue right now and will only gain momentum as examples of its devastating impact continue to surface," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer of McAfee. "Our entire company is dedicated to protecting and securing information for organizations and individuals around the world, and McAfee Data Loss Prevention takes a huge step in that direction by extending protection wherever users work -- in the office, at home or on the road."

Additional compliance requirements, coupled with changing threat environments, are forcing enterprises to re-examine how they approach security. To help organizations fulfill their compliance requirements, McAfee DLP can provide proof of internal and regulatory compliance measures to auditors, board members, and other stakeholders. McAfee DLP offers organizations complete visibility and control over the transfer of data, with the ability to monitor, block, quarantine and/or encrypt sensitive data.

Gateway Protection Greatly Enhances Data Loss Prevention

The launch of McAfee Data Loss Prevention Gateway complements McAfee Data Loss Prevention Host, announced in February, by delivering multi-layered protection that prevents data loss at the desktop and the gateway. McAfee DLP Gateway prevents data loss from guest laptops, non-Windows systems (e.g. Mac and Linux), servers, mobile devices and all other agent-less devices by blocking the transfer of confidential information at the gateway. The protection of agent-less devices is growing in importance as corporations and government agencies are increasingly using mobile devices and laptops to access sensitive information on corporate networks.

"The data loss prevention problem is as challenging to corporations as asbestos removal is to homeowners. Like asbestos, data can be toxic when airborne," said Andrew Jaquith, senior analyst at Yankee Group. "Organizations today require data loss prevention controls that filter information at the gateway and control sensitive data on the endpoint."

Availability:

McAfee Data Loss Protection Host is available now, and McAfee Data Loss Prevention Gateway will be available May 2007.

"With the hard work and dedication of our more than 5,000 employees, we've also created a company that Bay Area residents look to first for the communications products and services that connect them to what's important in their lives."

The business publications noted the good employee benefits package that includes tuition reimbursement and Comcast University training as key assets. Comcast's community involvement was also noted, especially its Comcast Cares Day -- the company-wide day of service in which more than 30,000 employees volunteer in their local communities. "I feel valued as an employee, because Comcast supports my professional development and my volunteering in the community," remarked, Tamera Lappen, Comcast employee.

Due to the hard work and dedication of our team of employees, Comcast continues to grow and enhance our products and services -- from doubling the amount of ON DEMAND programming available in the past two years to adding more than 100 hours of HD VOD programming each month and adding new Comcast Digital Voice features like the ability to check voice mail online-all at no additional charge.

Comcast continues to grow its team to meet the high demand for its products and services. Last week, Comcast announced that it will hire 400 new employees throughout the Bay Area in the next several months. The majority of available jobs are for front-line technicians and customer care representatives, with the rest crossing the broad categories of engineering and sales. "The new employees will join an already strong, customer-focused team that is bringing advanced entertainment and communications products to residents of the Bay Area, everyday," said Mr. Germano.

DST Systems, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2007 Financial Results

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated net income for DST Systems, Inc. was $65.4 million ($0.90 per diluted share) for the first quarter 2007 compared to $81.7 million ($1.11 per diluted share) for the first quarter 2006. Taking into account certain non-GAAP adjustments explained herein, consolidated net income was $62.6 million ($0.87 per diluted share) for the first quarter 2007 compared to $51.2 million ($0.69 per diluted share) for the first quarter 2006.

First quarter 2007 highlights were as follows: -- Consolidated operating revenues increased $43.5 million or 11.4% compared to the first quarter 2006 primarily from inclusion of Amisys Synertech, Inc. ("ASI") operating revenues, higher license fees for international investment management and AWD software and higher Output Solutions volumes. -- Consolidated income from operations increased $10.2 million or 14.7% to $79.6 million as compared to $69.4 million for first quarter 2006. Taking into account certain non-GAAP adjustments (including $2.8 million of 2007 ASI merger integration costs and an Output Solutions contract termination fee of $3.1 million), income from operations increased $7.8 million or 10.9% as compared to first quarter 2006 primarily resulting from higher license fees for international investment management and AWD software, higher contributions from mutual fund shareowner processing, and higher contributions from Output Solutions. Output Solutions operating income for first quarter 2007 increased $3.2 million (excluding the contract termination fee in 2007 and a $1.8 million severance charge in 2006) from first quarter 2006. Contributing to the increase of operating income were higher U.S. volumes and revenues from new international clients, and cost efficiencies realized from the implementation of new proprietary printing and inserting technologies. As previously announced, a client completed its internalization of its print/mail operations as a result of a merger with a company with in-house capabilities at the end of first quarter 2007. The loss of this client will adversely affect revenues and operating income for the remainder of 2007. Share related activity during first quarter 2007 was as follows: -- During first quarter 2007, the Company repurchased 1,137,000 shares of DST common stock for $81.6 million or approximately $71.77 per share. At March 31, 2007 approximately 2.8 million shares remained outstanding under the existing share repurchase authorization. -- The Company had approximately 65.2 million shares outstanding at March 31, 2007, including approximately 2.5 million unvested restricted shares. The net effect of share repurchases and shares issued from stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2007 resulted in a decrease in shares outstanding of approximately 500,000 shares. -- Diluted shares outstanding for first quarter 2007 were 71.8 million shares, a decrease of 1.6 million shares or 2.2% from first quarter 2006, but an increase of 1.7 million shares or 2.4% from fourth quarter 2006. The increase in diluted shares outstanding for the quarter is primarily caused by a 1.6 million share increase in the dilutive effect of the convertible debentures as a result of higher average DST share prices. The dilutive effects of the convertible debentures, outstanding stock options and restricted stock were approximately 5.3 million shares, 2.2 million shares and 1.2 million shares, respectively, during first quarter 2007. -- Total stock options and restricted stock ("equity units") outstanding at March 31, 2007 were 10.7 million, a decrease of 700,000 equity units or 6.1% from December 31, 2006.

Intangible asset amortization during the first quarter 2007 was as follows:

-- The combined amortization of intangibles affecting DST's equity in earnings of Asurion during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.8 million. DST also recorded approximately $1.8 million of intangible asset amortization for first quarter 2007 from the acquisition of ASI on October 2, 2006. -- Effective January 1, 2007, DST adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB No. 109" ("FIN 48"). The adoption resulted in approximately $87.5 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions being released, of which $68.2 million (net of related deferred income taxes) resulted in a reduction in previously recorded identified intangibles relating to the Company's April 2005 acquisition of DST Health Solutions, and the remainder was recorded as an increase in stockholders' equity as a cumulative effect adjustment. The reduction in the identified intangibles resulted in a reduction in amortization expense of approximately $1.5 million during first quarter 2007 as compared to 2006. The reduced amortization will continue in the future, as no identified intangibles remain from the DST Health Solutions acquisition. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting operating income, pretax income, net income and earnings per share on a GAAP basis, DST has also made certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in the attached schedule titled "Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the attached financial schedules titled "Reconciliation of Reported Results to Income Adjusted for Certain Non-GAAP Items" that accompany this earnings release. In making these non-GAAP adjustments, the Company takes into account the impact of items that are not necessarily ongoing in nature, that do not have a high level of predictability associated with them or that are non- operational in nature. Generally, these items include net gains on dispositions of business units, net gains (losses) associated with securities and other investments, restructuring and impairment costs and other similar items. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business unit performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating business unit performance utilizing GAAP financial information. Management uses non-GAAP measures in its budgeting and forecasting processes and to further analyze its financial trends and "operational run-rate", as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of DST's financial statements to better understand DST's recurring comparative operating performance for the periods presented.

DST's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods. DST's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although DST's management believes non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, DST acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company's income from operations, pretax income, net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management typically uses non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP results. Investors and users of our financial information should also consider the above factors when evaluating DST's results.

Detailed Review of Financial Results

The following discussion of financial results takes into account the non- GAAP adjustments described in the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and detailed in the attached schedule titled "Description of Non- GAAP Adjustments".

Segment Results Financial Services Segment

Operating revenues for the Financial Services segment, excluding out-of- pocket reimbursements ("OOP"), for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $32.1 million or 13.2% to $275.5 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. U.S. operating revenues for first quarter 2007 increased $23.3 million or 10.9% over first quarter 2006 primarily from the inclusion of ASI revenues and higher mutual fund and AWD revenues. International operating revenues increased $8.8 million over first quarter 2006 attributable to higher license fees for investment management and AWD software.

Financial Services segment software license fee revenues are derived principally from DST International (investment management systems), DST Health Solutions (medical claims processing systems) and AWD (workflow management and CRM solutions). Operating revenues include approximately $16.7 million of software license fee revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $5.0 million, compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to higher international investment management and AWD license fee revenues. While license fee revenues are not a significant percentage of DST's total operations, they can significantly impact earnings in the period in which they are recognized. Revenues and operating results from individual license sales depend heavily on the timing, size and nature of the contract.

U.S. mutual fund open shareowner accounts processed totaled 108.2 million at March 31, 2007, a net increase of 2.4 million or 2.3% since December 31, 2006 and an increase of 4.7 million or 4.5% from the 103.5 million accounts serviced at March 31, 2006. Tax-advantaged retirement and educational savings accounts serviced (which include 529 and Coverdell savings plan accounts) totaled 41.4 million at March 31, 2007, a net increase of 900,000 or 2.2% since December 31, 2006 and an increase of 1.4 million or 3.5% from the 40.0 million at March 31, 2006. For the period April 1 - 17, 2007, open shareowner accounts increased approximately 700,000, of which 400,000 were tax-advantaged retirement and educational savings accounts. In addition, previously announced new mutual fund client commitments of approximately 7.6 million accounts, based on current account levels, are expected to convert in the second and third quarters of 2007.

Financial Services segment income from operations for the first quarter 2007 increased $3.8 million from the prior year quarter to $66.6 million, attributable to higher license fee revenues and the elimination of amortization of DST Health Solutions intangibles from the adoption of FIN 48, partially offset by higher personnel costs to support business growth. Costs and expenses (including OOP costs) during the first quarter 2007 increased $29.2 million compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the inclusion of ASI and increased personnel. Depreciation and amortization costs decreased $900,000 in the first quarter 2007 compared to the prior year quarter. The net decrease is attributable to lower depreciation of computer equipment and the absence of amortization of DST Health Solutions intangible assets resulting from the adoption of FIN 48, which is partially offset by the inclusion of amortization of ASI intangible assets. Operating margin for the first quarter 2007 was 24.2% compared to 25.8% for the first quarter 2006.

Output Solutions Segment

Output Solutions segment operating revenues (excluding OOP reimbursements) for first quarter 2007 were $146.1 million, an increase of $10.3 million or 7.6% as compared to first quarter 2006, reflecting higher U.S. processing volumes and revenues from new international clients.

Items mailed during first quarter 2007 were 694.2 million, an increase of 11.7% compared to first quarter 2006. Images produced during first quarter 2007 were 4.3 billion, an increase of 22.2% compared to first quarter 2006. Revenues per image and package have declined principally as a result of higher relative volume increases from customers with lower unit pricing.

Output Solutions segment income from operations for first quarter 2007 was $9.2 million as compared to $6.0 million in first quarter 2006. Costs and expenses (including OOP costs) decreased $29.5 million or 9.8% from the first quarter 2006 attributable to lower OOP costs associated with a reduction in OOP reimbursement revenues of approximately $34.7 million resulting from certain customers purchasing postage directly, offset by higher material and equipment costs associated with increased volumes. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.0 million as compared to first quarter 2006 attributable to depreciation on new proprietary printing and inserting equipment.

Investments and Other Segment

Investments and Other segment operating revenues, primarily rental income for facilities leased to the Company's operating segments, were $15.8 million for first quarter 2007, an increase of $400,000 from first quarter 2006. Income from operations for first quarter 2007 increased $800,000 as compared to first quarter 2006 attributable to a $300,000 gain from the sale of a property, higher rental income and operational cost improvements.

Other Financial Results Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates

The following table summarizes the Company's equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates:

Three months ended March 31, --------------------- (in millions) 2007 2006 ------ ------ Asurion $11.4 $7.8 BFDS 7.9 6.6 IFDS 5.9 1.4 Argus 1.2 1.0 Other (1.6) (0.7) ------ ------ $24.8 $16.1 ====== ======

DST's equity in Asurion earnings for first quarter 2007 increased $3.6 million due to higher revenues, primarily from higher subscribers to Asurion's handset insurance programs, and operational cost improvements, partially offset by additional interest expense for debt incurred in the third quarter 2006 to finance a distribution to shareholders.

DST's equity in BFDS earnings for first quarter 2007 increased $1.3 million due to increased mutual fund shareowner servicing revenues from an increase in shareowner accounts processed and improvements in operations.

DST's equity in IFDS earnings for first quarter 2007 increased $4.5 million, due to improvements in operations and a $1.2 million deferred income tax benefit. Shareowner accounts serviced by IFDS U.K. were 5.8 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of 200,000 or 3.6% from December 31, 2006 and an increase of 500,000 or 9.4% from March 31, 2006. Shareowner accounts serviced by IFDS Canada were 7.3 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of 200,000 or 2.8% from December 31, 2006 and an increase of 500,000 or 7.4% from March 31, 2006.

Increased equity in earnings of Argus Health Systems during first quarter 2007 were the result of higher levels of pharmacy claims processed, principally Medicare Part D claims, partially offset by an increase in personnel costs and data processing support costs charged by DST.

Other income, net

Other income was $8.5 million in first quarter 2007, an increase of $100,000 as compared to first quarter 2006, from higher dividend income.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $18.2 million for first quarter 2007, an increase of $1.4 million from first quarter 2006, due to higher average debt balances outstanding and higher average interest rates.

Income taxes

As previously mentioned, DST adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The Company's effective income tax rate was 33.7% for first quarter 2007, compared to 35.3% for first quarter 2006, a decrease of 1.6% from 2006 primarily due to a reduction in the interest accruals relating to uncertain tax positions resulting from the adoption of FIN 48 and a change in the relative proportions of domestic and international taxable income. The Company expects its recurring tax rate for the remainder of 2007 to be approximately 33.7%.

Accounting Standards

The FASB has previously issued an exposure draft on a proposed accounting standard that would amend SFAS 128, Earnings per Share, to clarify guidance for mandatorily convertible instruments, the treasury stock method, contingently issuable shares, and contracts that may be settled in cash or shares. The final statement has yet to be issued. DST is currently evaluating the impact of this proposed accounting standard and currently believes that this proposed amendment would impact the way the Company treats the 17.1 million incremental shares to be issued from the assumed conversion of the $840 million of convertible debentures issued in August 2003 in calculating diluted earnings per share. The proposed amendment would require the use of the "if-converted" method from the date of issuance of the convertible debentures. The proposed amendment would remove the ability of a company to support the presumption that the convertible securities will be satisfied in cash and not converted into shares of common stock. Under this "if converted" method, GAAP diluted earnings per share would have been $0.84 and $1.08 (versus GAAP reported earnings of $0.90 and $1.11) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The above pro-forma information presents only the effect on diluted earnings per share of the "if converted" method included in the exposure draft, but does not include any other computational changes (i.e. treasury stock method considerations) discussed in the exposure draft. DST is continuing to monitor the FASB's progress towards finalizing this proposed accounting standard.

The proposed change in accounting principles would affect the calculation of diluted earnings per share during the period the debentures are outstanding, but would not affect DST's ability to ultimately settle the convertible debentures in cash, shares or any combination thereof.

The information and comments in this press release may include forward- looking statements respecting DST and its businesses. Such information and comments are based on DST's views as of today, and actual actions or results could differ. There could be a number of factors, risks, uncertainties or contingencies that could affect future actions or results, including but not limited to those set forth in DST's periodic reports (Form 10-K or 10-Q) filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All such factors should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements. The Company will not update any forward-looking statements in this press release to reflect future events.

Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments

In addition to reporting operating income, pretax income, net income and earnings per share on a GAAP basis, DST has also made certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the attached financial schedules titled "Reconciliation of Reported Results to Income Adjusted for Certain Non-GAAP Items" that accompany this earnings release. DST's use of non-GAAP adjustments is further described in the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information".

The following items, which have been treated as non-GAAP adjustments, occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007:

-- A contract termination fee, in the amount of $3.1 million, included in Output Solutions operating revenues. The income tax expense associated with this income was approximately $1.2 million. -- Merger integration costs incurred with the acquisition of ASI, in the amount of $2.8 million, included in Financial Services costs and expenses. The income tax benefit associated with these costs was approximately $1.1 million. The Company expects that ASI integration costs will continue for the next few quarters. -- Other net gains, in the amount of $3.3 million, associated with securities transactions, which are included in other income, net. The income tax expense associated with these gains was approximately $1.3 million. -- A gain related to the recovery in a non-operating Chapter 11 bankruptcy claim of an amount due from a previous client, in the amount of $1.0 million, included in other income, net. The income tax expense associated with this gain was approximately $400,000.

The following items, which have been treated as non-GAAP adjustments, occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006:

-- Increased compensation expense from accelerated vesting of restricted stock as a result of the lock\line merger with Asurion on January 1, 2006, in the amount of $1.7 million, included in Financial Services costs and expenses. The income tax benefit associated with these costs was approximately $700,000. -- Reduced compensation expense as a result of the effect of the adoption of FAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, on January 1, 2006 related to the initial estimation of forfeitures on restricted stock awards which resulted in a $1.4 million reduction in Financial Services costs and expenses. The income tax expense associated with this gain was approximately $600,000. -- Severance and related compensation charges of $1.8 million associated with an adjustment of staffing levels, included in Output Solutions costs and expenses. The income tax benefit associated with these costs was approximately $700,000. -- Increased interest expense of $12.7 million resulting from the write- off of the Company's convertible debenture debt issuance costs.

("Stream Poland") to Central European Cable Company "CECC," to be incorporated under the laws of Guernsey. It is proposed that CECC would then apply to have its common shares listed for trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and that, concurrent with such listing, CECC would raise approximately US $60 million ("the CECC Financing"). Concurrently with or subsequent to listing, it is proposed that shares of Stream will be exchanged for shares of CECC. [See Chart below.]

Relative Ownership Chart

Stream shareholders' relative ownership of CECC will be calculated including the value of acquisitions announced prior to the AIM IPO.

The purpose of the CECC Financing is to assemble the funds needed for future growth of the business as a provider of cable TV, high-speed Internet and VoIP services in Poland and take advantage of industry consolidation opportunities which currently exist in the Polish cable industry, while continuing to strengthen its existing technology and service offerings and better compete in the rapidly evolving Polish triple play market.

Jan Rynkiewicz, President & CEO states, "Specifically, the equity fundraising, together with a similar amount of debt, will be used exclusively to acquire both existing and greenfield networks with whom Stream has completed or is completing negotiations, in keeping with the Company's 2007 objectives. The proposed acquisitions will be announced as negotiations are completed. These restructuring and funding initiatives mark the beginning of a new stage of growth for the Company."

The Company is also evaluating U.S. and London based private funding sources for pre-IPO participation; these funds may also choose to participate in the IPO.

Concurrently with, or subsequent to, successful listing on AIM, Stream management will act diligently to finalize distribution of the CECC shares to Stream shareholders. Once such distribution is completed CECC will assume Stream's status as a reporting company under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Stream remains committed to its North American shareholder base, and also recognizes the importance of North American capital markets for funding future growth.

Copies of the proxy materials with respect to the Special Meeting have been mailed on April 23, 2007 to shareholders of record as of April 4, 2007 and are otherwise available from Stream or on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com/.

It is important for Stream shareholders to exercise their right to vote (or to exercise their right to dissent) either at the Special Meeting or by proxy, on the arrangement. The directors of the Company urge shareholders to exercise these rights.
