AT&T Launches High Definition Homezone ServiceHomezone Customers Can Now Enjoy More HD Channels Than With Cable

SAN ANTONIO, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. has announced that AT&T Homezone(SM) customers can now access one of the nation's most robust collections of High Definition (HD) content available: With more than 30 national HD channels -- and additional local HD channels for each market -- Homezone service offers customers access to more HD channels than its local cable competitors while providing thousands of video-on-demand titles, access to the system via wireless phones and more -- all through a single receiver.

AT&T Homezone service integrates AT&T | DISH Network and features of AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet. It allows customers to enjoy satellite TV programming, net-based on-demand content, and music and photos via their TV screens and stereos. It also features digital videorecording technology and remote access to the system through Web-enabled PCs or WAP-2.0 compatible wireless phones.

The service is available across AT&T's traditional 13-state broadband footprint to new and existing AT&T | DISH Network residential customers who either have or plan to order AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet and the AT&T Wireless Gateway.*

The current HD channel lineup is provided by AT&T | DISH Network and includes a wide variety of programs, including news, sports, movies and more. The HD content delivered to Homezone customers produces images that are four times as detailed as standard definition (SD) TV and provides rich, realistic video and multichannel, movie-theater-quality sound.

Homezone service's HD content, combined with the offerings of AT&T | DISH Network standard definition (SD) programming, and the wide variety of on-demand content available via strategic relationships with Movielink and Akimbo, further expands AT&T's video portfolio -- and offers end users more variety and choice than ever before.

"Our goal is to deliver a video solution that provides greater value, flexibility and simplicity than our competitors deliver," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer-AT&T Consumer. "Compelling features such as one of the largest lineups of HD programming offer our customers another reason why AT&T can be the only communications and entertainment company they will ever want."

Customers can add the AT&T | DISH HD package to their entertainment experience. Through June 2007, new AT&T | DISH customers will be able to enjoy free HD channels for a year when they order qualifying SD and HD programming and packages. After the free year, AT&T | DISH Network HD programming will be $20 a month. The monthly $9.99 fee for Homezone service and $5.98 for digital videorecorder (DVR) functionality will remain the same.

The new HD programming complements other unique Homezone features, including:

-- Remote access to the DVR, which allow customers to schedule recordings with their compatible wireless phones and devices or by using their AT&T Yahoo! Internet accounts. -- Up to 140 hours of TV recording capacity. -- A 30-second DVR skip feature, enabling customers to skip commercials with the press of a button. -- Access to a library of more than 7,000 total on-demand titles - including more than 1,000 full-length movies available on demand, surpassing the on-demand movie libraries offered from cable.

AT&T Homezone service also complements AT&T U-verse(SM) TV, the company's cutting-edge Internet Protocol (IP)-based television service. AT&T U-verse services are currently available in 21 markets, and the company plans to continue expanding the availability of these services on an ongoing basis. Although AT&T U-verse services will be the company's primary video offer in available markets, both products underscore the company's strategy to expand its video services portfolio, which also includes AT&T | DISH Network service.

With Homezone service, which launched in fall 2006, AT&T became the first national telecommunications provider to offer seamlessly integrated video content and TV entertainment to the "digital living room" through both broadband and traditional satellite networks. Awarded the 2007 North American Product of the Year by Frost & Sullivan, AT&T Homezone service integrates AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet, AT&T | DISH Network satellite television and AT&T home networking services via a single set-top device.

ISS Recommends Shareholders Vote AGAINST Inter-Tel Buyout by MitelMihaylo Receives Financing Commitments Demonstrating Feasibility of Recapitalization ProposalMihaylo Urges Shareholders to VOTE NO on Mitel Proposal

TEMPE, Ariz., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Steven G. Mihaylo, founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Inter-Tel (Delaware), Incorporated today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), one of the world's leading providers of proxy voting and corporate governance solutions to the institutional marketplace, recommended that shareholders vote AGAINST the merger with Mitel Networks Corporation ("Mitel") at the June 29th shareholder meeting.

In its report, ISS stated that "Based on our review of the terms of the transaction, in particular, the relatively low 7.6 percent 1-day offer premium, the flawed sale process, lack of an imminent reason to sell the company without conducting a proper sale process, and valuation, we believe that the merger agreement does not warrant shareholder support."(1)

"I am gratified ISS agrees with my position that shareholders should not vote in favor of the Mitel buyout at $25.60 per share. I believe we are here today due to a flawed process that resulted in an undervalued offer," stated Mr. Mihaylo. "Based on the assumptions underlying the recapitalization analysis, the Company is worth more than the Mitel offer. Indeed, I believe a proper auction should have been conducted to win the highest price for shareholders," he said.

Furthermore, as ISS recognized, Mr. Mihaylo is not alone in his concerns regarding the process and valuation: Millenium Management LLC, which owns approximately 3.2% of the outstanding shares, sent a letter to Inter-Tel on June 13, 2007, stating that, in their view, the process was not a full and fair auction and the proposed purchase price fails to value the Company adequately.(2)

Mr. Mihaylo added, "Absent a higher bid, I believe Inter-Tel has a better alternative through a leveraged recapitalization, which will provide greater value to all shareholders and will at the same time preserve the opportunity for future growth and upside potential, including a potential sale at a later date. I urge all shareholders, especially current and former employees who care as much about the Company as I do, to stand up, be heard and vote their shares AGAINST this buyout proposal."

With regard to his proposed recapitalization plan, Mr. Mihaylo also announced that the Royal Bank of Canada and RBC Capital Markets have committed a total of $255 million to finance Mr. Mihaylo's recapitalization plan subject to customary closing conditions similar to those contained in the Mitel financing commitments.

The Senior Secured Financing Commitment Letter consists of the following: -- First-lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million -- $30.0 million revolving credit facility -- Second-lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million

"With Royal Bank of Canada and RBC Capital Markets as my financing partners and their firm commitment to my recapitalization plan, I am confident Inter-Tel shareholders will agree that my proposal is superior to Mitel's buyout offer and will vote AGAINST the merger at the upcoming meeting of shareholders on Friday, June 29, 2007," stated Mihaylo. "I believe the $255 million commitment should more than adequately address concerns raised by the Board concerning the financeability of the recapitalization proposal and should not require any asset disposition."

Mr. Mihaylo added, "The Board has had ample time to pursue its 'strategic options' but I believe the Board never had a coherent plan as evidenced by its recent agreement to sell the Company to Mitel. Thus, if the shareholders vote AGAINST the merger, I believe it should be viewed as an unequivocal vote of no-confidence for the Board and the Company's leadership over the past 15 months."

Verizon Business Manages Network and Mobility Services for Global Transaction-System ManufacturerMEI Signs Three-Year Agreement for Private IP Network Supporting Remote Access

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- MEI, one of the world's leading manufacturers of unattended payment systems, has turned to Verizon Business to provide a new global network that includes remote access for MEI's mobile employees.

Under terms of the three-year agreement, Verizon Business designed and deployed a global, managed Private IP network. It seamlessly connects MEI's company headquarters in West Chester, Pa., with its major business centers in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Mexico, as well as locations in Australia and China, and several U.S.-based distribution centers. The MPLS-based network also links to the company's disaster recovery site to help ensure its operations run continuously.

MEI manufactures electronic bill acceptors, coin mechanisms and other unattended payment systems for the amusement, gaming, retail, transport and vending markets. It has the world's largest installed base of unattended payment systems, handling in excess of 2 billion transactions per week in over 90 countries. The company's recent divestiture created new requirements for local- and wide-area networks.

Integral to MEI's new Private IP network is the capability to provide remote access for more than 200 mobile employees located around the world. Verizon Secure Gateway - Mobile User Service provides MEI's mobile employees with convenient, secure and dependable remote access to the corporate network.

"We needed to build a new global network from the ground up," said Tim Michel, chief information officer, MEI. "The relatively small size of our enterprise belies a highly sophisticated and dispersed operation. The decision to fully outsource the management of our global infrastructure to Verizon Business made sense in terms of global presence, proactive network management, support for future growth and cost efficiency."

With a widely dispersed mobile workforce, MEI is open for business worldwide 24 hours a day. This requires a dependable network to enable employee access to critical e-mail and enterprise resource-planning applications that support manufacturing, finance and human resources functions. Verizon Business fully manages MEI's Private IP network, delivering a high degree of reliability and strong security supported by proactive, round-the-clock management. Today more than 40 percent of Verizon customers using Private IP service opt for full management.

"MEI had a specific set of requirements critical to building out their new network, including making sure their mobile workforce could access corporate resources when and where needed," said Steve Young, senior vice president of sales, Verizon Business. "Our broad portfolio of managed networking and global mobility capabilities gave MEI the flexibility and choice needed to find the right approach for their business."

Verizon's mobility strategy builds on the power of the company's expansive, world-class wireline and wireless networks along with its advanced collaboration technologies. Verizon offers a comprehensive suite of mobility solutions that enable professionals to seamlessly conduct business while away from the office.

Verizon mobility services include: managed wireless LAN; wireless voice and data; fixed-mobile convergence services; and Verizon Secure Gateway, which provides flexible access into a corporate virtual private network for mobile users. In addition, the mobility services feature Verizon's advanced collaboration tools, including audio, video and Web-based conferencing services; secure instant messaging; and managed e-mail.

[Note: A companion news release about PBX Mobile Extension, Wireless Office and Mobile Conference Connection provides more information on Verizon's mobility services, including its fixed-mobile convergence offerings.]

Nancy Gofus, Verizon Business senior vice president and chief marketing officer, said the agreement with MEI reflects a growing trend. "As the world becomes more global and more mobile, organizations are looking for us to solve their unique mobility requirements," she said. "Our comprehensive suite of mobility solutions enables professionals to seamlessly conduct business while away from the office."

Verizon Business manages more than 3,700 customer networks in 142 countries, overseeing non-Verizon connections from more than 60 network providers around the world. Verizon Business' industry-leading service-level commitments and award-winning IMPACT management platform underscore a legacy of service and innovation. The company is the recipient of the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Customer Service Leadership Award for Managed Services and the 2006 Cisco Systems Global Managed Services Partner of the Year Award. It has also been listed by Gartner Inc. in the leaders quadrant of a report titled "Magic Quadrant for U.S. Managed and Professional Network Service Providers, 1H06."(1)*

About MEI

MEI, headquartered in West Chester, Pa., holds the world's largest installed base of unattended payment systems, handling in excess of 2 billion transactions per week in over 90 countries.

Verizon Introduces Three New Fixed-Mobile Convergence Services to Enhance Business MobilityOn-the-Go Workers Can Flexibly Move Between Wireline and Wireless Networks

NEW YORK, June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- To make it easier for businesses and government agencies to enhance employee mobility and productivity, Verizon is introducing three new fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services. The services help on-the-go professionals seamlessly bridge wireline and wireless networks.

The services, unveiled today at the NXTcomm trade show in Chicago, are: Wireless Office, PBX Mobile Extension and Mobile Conference Connection.

[NOTE: An audio podcast discussing these new services and the benefits to business and government customers is available by linking to the Verizon at NXTcomm press kit at http://newscenter.verizon.com/kit/nxtcomm/.]

Features include: a single phone number that simultaneously rings to an office, home and cell phone; a unified mailbox that consolidates voicemail from multiple devices; and instant conference calls that can be organized and initiated with just a few clicks on any Research in Motion BlackBerry or Microsoft Windows Mobile smart phone or PDA.

The new services are part of Verizon's overall mobility strategy, which builds on the power of the company's expansive, world-class wireline and wireless networks and advanced collaboration techniques.

The services are also the latest additions to Verizon's comprehensive suite of Mobility offerings, which enable professionals to seamlessly and securely conduct business while away from the office. The offerings include: wireless voice and data, managed wireless LAN, and Secure Gateway, which provides mobile users with access to their company's virtual private network.

In addition, the Mobility services feature Verizon's advanced collaboration tools including conferencing services (audio, Web and video), secure instant messaging and managed e-mail.

"Now, more than ever, busy professionals are demanding new tools to help stay on top of their business, both in and out of the office," said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon. "By bridging its world-class wired and wireless networks, Verizon is helping to enhance mobility and productivity in today's fast-paced, mobile work environment."

According to Forrester Research, 23 percent of large-business professionals are frequent travelers who spend significant time away from their offices and conduct increasing amounts of business on the move. As a result, businesses each year are spending more on mobile devices while also focusing greater attention on asset management and liability.

With Wireless Office and PBX Mobile Extension, Employees' Offices Can Follow

Where They Go

Wireless Office and PBX Mobile Extension provide wireless phone users with the same capabilities available on an office phone.

Wireless Office, powered by the Verizon Wireless network, is immediately available for U.S. businesses. It delivers a network-based solution for small and mid-sized businesses to merge their fixed and wireless voice communications by extending common private branch exchange (PBX) calling features -- such as abbreviated dialing, closed user groups and call control - - to wireless devices.

The features enable small and mid-sized businesses to respond more quickly to their customers and make their communications more cost-efficient. As a result, these businesses can compete more effectively with their larger rivals. The service includes two different pricing options for either "on campus" wireless calling or on-net calling for calls that originate from a wireless handset to corporate office extensions.

PBX Mobile Extension enables a large corporate campus or large numbers of mobile workers -- including executives, sales personnel or field service technicians -- to answer calls and respond quickly. This service works with a company's existing PBX system to provide a single phone number that simultaneously rings on a user's cell phone, home phone or any pre-selected phone number. If a user can't answer the call, PBX Mobile Extension uses a company's existing voice mail system to provide a unified voice mailbox, eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple voice mail systems.

In addition to making it easier for callers to reach a company's workforce, the service enhances calling for employees. Outbound calls by employees using cell phones show the caller's office phone number via caller ID. Cell phone callers also can use other PBX functions such as call-transfer, park, hold and more.

With PBX Mobile Extension, workers can also move seamlessly between their cell phone and a desk phone to complete a call in progress, conduct quick and secure conference calls, and initiate mass notifications enabling companies to quickly respond to planned or unplanned situations. The service will be available in the United States starting next month, and Verizon plans to roll it out internationally in 2008.

On-the-Go Virtual Meetings Take New Shape With Mobile Conference Connection

Mobile Conference Connection helps busy workers quickly and easily coordinate spontaneous meetings and boost productivity away from the office. This new offering, targeted for launch this summer, provides road warriors with tools right at their fingertips to initiate or join a conference call with a few clicks on any Research in Motion BlackBerry or Microsoft Windows Mobile smart phone or PDA. For example, Mobile Conference Connection allows Instant Meeting leaders in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia- Pacific and Latin America to enter their Instant Meeting Subscription information on their mobile device. This enables the meeting leaders to initiate and schedule spontaneous meetings, send e-mail meeting invitations, start meetings, and add participants to conference calls via a link embedded in an e-mail invitation that participants receive via their mobile registered device. In addition, participants or leaders can join audio calls by having a conference call bridge "dial out'' to contact them.

Users of Verizon's Global BlackBerry 8830 service can use Mobile Conference Connection to initiate or participate in conference calls from 150 countries worldwide. In addition, Global Blackberry users benefit from e-mail and Internet connections in 90 countries.

More Mobility Services Planned

"Today's announcements enhance our existing Mobility portfolio with new, simple and secure ways for workers to stay connected to the office," said Stratton. "We will continue to aggressively roll out products and services that best meet the needs of business customers round the world."

Additional new services Verizon plans to launch this year and next include:

- Satellite access in Europe and Asia to enable companies without terrestrial access to remain connected to corporate resources. - Additional automatic wireless primary and backup access options to help enable companies to remain up and running. - Mobile satellite access where users can access their network in hard-to- reach areas such as mountainous regions. - Integrated VoIP offerings to support mobile workers. - Managed Wireless backup to Private IP.

Oce Business Services Adds Equivio's Near-Duplicate Document Review Technology to its eDiscovery PlatformUsers Can More Efficiently Review and Compare Documents Identified as Near- Duplicates

NEW YORK, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oce Business Services, Inc. today announced that it has incorporated Equivio's near-duplicate document review capability into its eDiscovery platform. This enhanced functionality will help corporations and law firms improve discovery management, lower risk, and significantly reduce costs.

According to industry estimates, documents that are similar but not exact duplicates represent from 30 percent to 50 percent of email and document repositories. The redundant review of near-duplicates is time-consuming and creates a substantial hidden cost in the discovery cycle.

Oce Business Services has addressed these challenges by integrating Equivio's technology with dataDeliver(TM) ASP, a service offered through its CaseData eDiscovery and litigation support division. dataDeliver(TM) ASP is a Web-based tool that provides collaborative review and production of scanned paper and electronic files. Clients now have the added benefits of reducing time, cost and risk, improving the document review process, and insuring the consistent treatment of similar documents.

The dataDeliver(TM) ASP near-duplicate document review system offers a variety of key features. Users can perform bulk review calls to documents that have been identified as near-duplicate, reducing project costs by lowering overall document review time. Users also can analyze documents that are members of near-duplicate document sets and logically display the results ranked by similarity score percentage.

Additionally, the dataDeliver(TM) ASP near-duplicate document review system provides the ability to dynamically compare documents contained within near-duplicate document sets and intuitively display differences to expedite document review. Seamless integration with the existing dataDeliver(TM) ASP document review system allows current users to quickly incorporate the new Equivio functionality into their document review strategy.

"We have always been committed to providing efficient, cost-effective litigation support solutions through innovative technology and quality service," said Doug Bean, Vice President and General Manager, Oce Business Services' CaseData Division. "The implementation of near-duplicate technology in dataDeliver(TM) ASP underscores this commitment by enabling clients to significantly reduce costs and overall document review time."

Enterprise-level Companies Expand Their Relationship With UCN Hosted inContact Services

SALT LAKE CITY, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A growing number of enterprise-level companies are expanding their use of the inContact(R) suite of hosted services from UCN, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: UCNN) , the leading provider of all-in-one, contact handling and management services delivered over the UCN intelligent network.

"Over the last 12 months, we have seen the benefits of the hosted model, including low startup costs, rapid implementation, low impact on existing IT infrastructure and fast ROI, contribute to operational improvements of larger enterprises," stated Paul Jarman, CEO of UCN. "We are seeing the ability for our products to go both deep and wide within a single account. Our success among enterprise accounts is coming from a number of industries, including international financial services, e-tailers (online retailers), agribusiness, consumer product manufacturers, healthcare and outsourcers, to name a few."

The following three customer examples demonstrate the acceptance and growth of the inContact product suite within existing UCN multi-national enterprise accounts.

In November of 2006, UCN engaged with a leading international financial services company. Initially, the company was seeking to bring an outsourced contact center operation in-house, without having to deploy and manage related premises-based contact handling technologies. InContact was chosen because it enabled the company to outsource the technology and immediately take control of its inbound contacts, even though the call was still handled by the outsourcer. Additionally, it gave the company the flexibility to migrate over time to an internally hired and managed staff, with the option to support a distributed workforce model that includes at-home employees.

By December of 2006, the average monthly revenue from the initial business unit within the financial services company was $11,000. By June of 2007, it had tripled to an average of $30,600 per month. During this same time frame, news of the benefits of inContact had spread beyond the original business unit to eight additional business units, all of which were involved in a "technology refresh review" for their respective contact centers. When the additional eight centers are fully implemented, revenue should exceed over $60,000 per month.

In 2002, the Echo product line was launched within a leading online e-tailer. Initially, its North American operation, comprised of 11 locations, was using the product, billing an average of $24,000 per month. Within six months, the relationship expanded to include European operations and a major subsidiary. With the recent implementations within this account, Echo is now supporting five subsidiary operations and the entire worldwide operation of the parent company; revenue has nearly quadrupled from the initial $24,000 monthly range.

In February of 2007, UCN engaged with a Fortune 200, international food company which was seeking to bring an outsourced customer service operation in-house. InContact was chosen because it enabled the company to simplify its operations by outsourcing the technology and support a distributed workforce, predominately at-home workers. The relationship began with the purchase of the core inContact technologies. More recently, the Workforce Management module and the Echo customer survey and individual scoring tools are being deployed. As of June, revenue was averaging about $10,000 per month. However, the current bill rate does not reflect the new product line additions or the additional seat opportunity within this account, both of which will significantly increase revenue over time.

"Not only is it exciting to see the number of enterprise accounts increase," said Jarman, "we are now at a stage where existing enterprise accounts are expanding their relationship with UCN by increasing the number of business units that use our product lines or by increasing the range of services they acquire from UCN." Today, the inContact service suite includes traditional core contact handling technologies (IVR, ACD, database integration capabilities, reporting, monitoring and recording), workforce scheduling and forecasting analysis, and the Echo(TM) product line which includes automated satisfaction surveys and individual quality scoring and trending analysis.

About UCN

UCN (BULLETIN BOARD: UCNN) is the leading provider of all-in-one, off-premises contact handling services that improve the customer contact experience and the productivity of those handling the contacts. InContact(R) includes an integrated suite of core contact handling applications, including contact routing, interactive menus, database integration, automated surveys and scoring analysis, reporting, monitoring, recording, administration and workforce scheduling and forecasting applications. InControl(TM) is a unique, rapid application development tool that enables inContact customers to develop highly flexible, customized business contact handling processes in record time.

VTech Announces FY2007 Annual Results

HONG KONG, June 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- Strong Performances from All Businesses Leads to Record Year

-- Record revenue and profit -- Group revenue increased by 21.5% to US$1,463.8 million -- Profit attributable to shareholders rose by 42.0% to US$182.9 million -- Net profit margin expanded 1.8% points to 12.5% -- Net cash, after special dividend of US$71.7 million, rose to US$246.5 million -- Final dividend of US41.0 cents per share, total dividend per share for the year (include special dividend of US30.0 cents) up 150.0%

VTech Holdings Ltd (HKSE: 303; LSE: VTH; ADR: VTKHY) today announced its results for the year ended 31st March 2007, reporting record revenue and its second successive year of record profit.

Revenue for the Group increased by 21.5% over the financial year 2006 to US$1,463.8 million. Profit attributable to shareholders increased by 42.0% to US$182.9 million. Earnings per share rose 39.5% to US76.6 cents. In light of the continued increase in profitability, together with the very strong Group balance sheet, the Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of US41.0 cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of US9.0 cents and the special dividend of US30.0 cents made in celebration of the Group's 30th anniversary, this gives a total dividend for the year of US80.0 cents per share, 150.0% higher than the US32.0 cents declared in the financial year 2006.

"All three of our businesses recorded revenue increases during the financial year 2007. The record results demonstrate that we are reaping the benefit of the hard work put in to enhance our operations and build a solid foundation for growth," said Mr. Allan Wong, Chairman and Group CEO of VTech Holdings Limited.

Sales Rebound at TEL Business

Revenue at the telecommunication products (TEL) business increased by 11.1% over the financial year 2006 to US$660.6 million, accounting for 45.1% of Group revenue.

North America was the key growth driver. For the financial year 2007, revenue from the region increased by 26.3% to US$514.3 million, representing 77.9% of total TEL revenue, against 68.5% in the financial year 2006.

The competitiveness of the TEL business in North America has strengthened following the rationalisation of its business operations two years ago. Better products, together with enhanced supply chain and channel management resulted in higher market share. The new 5.8GHz cordless phones, together with the AT&T 2.4GHz products using proprietary technology developed in-house, were well-received by consumers and enabled VTech to win more shelf space from retail customers.

In Europe, as mentioned in the interim report, the market had suffered from excess inventory, especially during the first half of the financial year. Hence, despite a pick up of sales in the second half over the first half, revenue from this market still declined 25.1% over the financial year 2006 to US$126.2 million, accounting for 19.1% of total TEL revenue.

Across the Board Growth at ELP Business

The ELP business achieved record revenue in the financial year 2007, which increased by 26.2% as compared with the financial year 2006 to US$570.1 million. This was equivalent to 39.0% of total Group revenue, as compared with 37.5% in the previous financial year.

The growth came across the board, with good performances from all product ranges. The traditional ELPs recorded higher sales growth than the V.Smile range, mainly driven by increased shelf space and an expanded product portfolio.

Revenue increases were apparent in all markets, with particularly strong growth in North America as VTech continued to gain shelf space in this market. Sales from the region rose by 29.2% to US$281.2 million. In Europe, revenue grew by 21.5% over the previous financial year to US$260.9 million and VTech maintained its leadership position in its principal markets.

In the financial year 2007, the V.Smile range entered its third year of sales. Sales of the basic console and software met management expectations. In addition to the basic V.Smile, the range was extended through the introduction of the V.Smile Baby Infant Development System(TM) (V.Smile Baby), aimed at children from nine months to three years old and the V.Flash Home Edutainment System(TM) (V.Flash), which targets those aged six and up.

Outperformance of CMS Business

The CMS business once again achieved excellent results, with revenue for the financial year 2007 increasing by 47.3% over the financial year 2006 to US$233.1 million, the third consecutive record. The business accounted for 15.9% of Group revenue, up from 13.1% in the previous financial year.

The business once again outperformed the global Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry, which grew by some 13.5%(i) during the calendar year 2006. Although some new customers were acquired, the growth in revenue came primarily from existing customers, especially in the areas of switching mode power supplies, professional audio equipment and industrial printing. Particularly strong demand was experienced from customers in the United States and hence this market grew its share of total CMS revenue markedly from the 29.5% recorded in the previous financial year.

Switching mode power supplies and professional audio equipment continued to be the leading product categories, accounting for 28.2% and 27.7% of total CMS revenue respectively, followed by communications products and home appliances.

Europe remained the leading source of revenue, representing 48.4% of total CMS revenue, followed by North America at 36.6% and Asia Pacific at 15.0%.

Countering Cost Pressures

All three businesses did well to counter cost pressures during the financial year 2007, despite high materials prices, rising labour cost and overheads in China, following the appreciation of the Renminbi. Greater economies of scale and efficiency gains mitigated these pressures. The new plant at Qingyuan, in the northern part of Guangdong province, is also beginning to make a positive impact.

Changes in Directors

The Group's Deputy Chairman, Mr. Albert Lee Wai Kuen, retired with effect from 1st April 2007. He has been with the Group since 1984 and will continue to play a role as an adviser to the Group. Two new Executive Directors were appointed in April 2007, Mr. Edwin Ying Lin Kwan, Group Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Pang King Fai, Group Chief Technology Officer.

Outlook

The rise in our production volumes has begun to put pressure on capacity and to ease capacity constraints and realise further economies of scale, the Group is adding manufacturing facilities. In the second quarter of the financial year 2008, a new factory building for the CMS business will open, increasing its capacity by some 50%. We also intend to build a second factory at Qingyuan, to serve the growing needs of the ELP business.

(i)Source: Manufacturing Market Insider -- December 2006 issue

Growth at the TEL business will primarily come from Europe as the market recovers from excess inventory. The North American business will be hard pressed to repeat the similar growth recorded in the financial year 2007, since it has already rebounded from a sales decline and regained its leadership position. Nonetheless, innovative designs such as DECT 6.0 models are creating new product categories for retail customers, while new technologies such as the infoPhone(TM) will enable VTech to explore new distribution channels. To add further avenues of growth, the TEL business intends to develop the small and home office market.

Building on its strong position in Europe and increasing market share in North America, the ELP business is expected to continue to grow. The Whiz Kid Learning System(TM) will enable VTech to capture a position in the reading market. The V.Smile range will continue to evolve through an enhanced V.Smile console that will hit the shelves in August 2007, as well as a smaller and lighter version of V.Smile Pocket. The library of cartridges will expand further.

Growth at the CMS business is expected to moderate as existing customers mature and newer customers only gradually build up orders, but it should again outperform the EMS market. The Japanese market will be a focus for new business development, with separate facilities, a dedicated team and a new sales office ready to serve the clients.

"The succession of good results achieved in recent years testifies to VTech's ability to develop sound business strategies and execute them well. I believe we have developed a solid foundation for future expansion. Despite the uncertainties of the US economy, a probable further appreciation of the Renminbi, as well as continued rises in labour costs and components prices, we expect to achieve a similar level of profitability as in the financial year 2007," said Mr. Wong.

Leading Industry Analyst Positions Magic Software in Visionaries Quadrant in Four Quadrant Reports on Application Infrastructure- New Research Evaluates Magic Software's Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

OR YEHUDA, Israel, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. , a leader in enterprise application development, deployment and integration technology, announced today that it has recently been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of four Gartner Magic Quadrants:

- Application Infrastructure (1) - Application Infrastructure for New Service-Oriented (SOA) Business Application Projects(2) - Application Infrastructure for Composite-Application Projects (3) - Application Infrastructure for Back-End Application Integration Projects (4)

Gartner has defined a new market for application infrastructure that reflects the convergence and overlap of many of the products available to support application development, deployment and execution. Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure, 2Q07, analyzes the total application infrastructure market and the relevance of suppliers whose products might be used in a variety of project types. Gartner produced three additional Magic Quadrants which reflect a particular emphasis in terms of user objectives and assessment criteria.

"We think our focus on SMBs and the ecosystems of SAP, Oracle's JD Edwards World and IBM's System i has certainly helped us both in terms of vision and market reach," commented Avigdor Luttinger, Magic Software's VP of Corporate Strategy.

David Assia, Chairman and acting CEO of Magic Software, added, "We believe the positioning of Magic Software by a leading technology analyst, such as Gartner, in the visionaries quadrant of all the four Gartner Quadrants on Application Infrastructure, confirms the success of our efforts to position Magic as a technology leader for today's business application development and integration projects, in particular in our target ecosystems."

HOLMES is used by more than 5000 users in 52 Police forces, and by many of their criminal justice partners across the UK, to provide a central system for handling and managing major enquiries and to respond to national disasters and major incidents. HOLMES has been crucial in many recent high-profile operations such as the Soham murder enquiry, the 7/7 bombing investigations and Tsunami responses, and is proposed to be used to provide security for the 2012 Olympics. Under the terms of their new arrangement, Autonomy and Unisys will create a joint sales task-force, combining Autonomy's world-leading software with Unisys's specialist integration competencies for the UK investigative and intelligence sector.

Autonomy and Unisys are currently working together to provide more forces with the full range of Autonomy's advanced data retrieval and processing functionality, including conceptual retrieval, dynamic hyperlinking, automatic categorization and the Autonomy data warehouse, through the HOLMES system. Autonomy and Unisys are also looking to the future and are working together to enhance HOLMES 2 to deal with a wider range of enquiries which could include fraud, road traffic accident investigation, serial and serious crimes, as well as the capabilities to deal with multimedia such as images and CCTV footage.

"We have worked with Autonomy on HOLMES for the last 10 years, and our relationship has been a great success to date," commented Forbes Gallagher, Client Director for HOLMES of Unisys. "By entering into this new agreement we will offer more forces the potential to take full advantage of Autonomy's functionality by switching on the latent capabilities of the IDOL sever in HOLMES, as well as looking to the future and finding new ways we can work together."

Dr Mike Lynch, CEO and founder of Autonomy, added "Unisys is one of our key integrators and the continued evolution of the HOLMES system using Autonomy has been integral to our success in this sector. I look forward to moving this partnership forward by investing in our joint skill base and providing a greater range of Autonomy's capabilities to UK Police forces."

Certicom Launches UMA Device Software for Mobility MarketToolkit provides core functionality for device manufacturers to support unlicensed mobile access

MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Certicom (TSX: CIC) today launched Certicom UMA Device Software, a software developer module that makes it easy for device manufacturers to implement the unlicensed mobile access (UMA) protocol and get their products to market faster while reducing development costs. Certicom has drawn on its many years of experience in the mobility sector to provide a standards-based, portable module featuring a small footprint ideal for handsets, GA/UMA terminal adapters, mobile operator home gateways, UMA softphones and femtocell backhauling.

UMA addresses the fixed mobile convergence (FMC) market by enabling a mobile device to access the core of a cellular network using an IP connection that is secured by a standard IPSec VPN. When using UMA, mobile devices will have the same features they get when connected on the standard GSM cellular network.

"Mobile device manufacturers are faced with short product life spans and the need to roll out new models that are increasingly more complex," said Jim Alfred, director of product management, Certicom. "To balance these demands, they need to partner with companies like Certicom that understand the challenges and can help them get to market quickly, while reducing the risks of adding advanced technology to their products."

Certicom UMA Device Software: - Efficient: built for resource constrained devices, minimizing the impact on memory usage and CPU resources; - Easy to integrate: contains well-defined APIs to help developers to quickly and easily integrate the UMA module with other elements that comprise the mobile device; - Provides compatibility: includes the latest industry standards for UMA protocol operation, including TS 43.318, TS 44.318 Release 6, and UMA v1.3, ensuring compatibility with other UMA network devices; and - Secure: integrated with Certicom Security Builder IPSec, an award- winning, comprehensive, cross-platform VPN module.

Certicom UMA Device Software is a cost-effective way for original equipment manufacturers to quickly bring interoperable UMA products to market. Pricing depends on the customer's platform requirements and includes developer licenses, royalties, support and integration services. For more information, visit http://www.certicom.com/uma.
