Franklin Electronic Publishers Reports Year End Results

BURLINGTON, N.J., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Franklin Electronic Publishers, Incorporated reported a net loss of $3,180,000 or $.39 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 compared with net income in the prior year of $2,012,000 or $.22 per share after preferred stock dividends. Sales for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $52,213,000 compared with $59,622,000 in the prior year. The sales decline of approximately $7,400,000 is primarily due to lower product sales of $5,200,000 in North America partially offset by increased international sales of $1,300,000 and the inclusion in the prior year of sales from two technology licensing agreements of $3,500,000 which provided a gross margin of $2,300,000.

The Company reported a net loss for its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter of $1,636,000 or $.20 per common share, compared with a net loss in the same quarter last year of $1,005,000 or $.12 per common share. During its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, the Company has written off approximately $900,000 of capitalized software and prepaid royalties pertaining to products produced for the Japanese market partially offset by the reversal in such quarter of a provision of $510,000 taken in fiscal 2006 to provide for a minimum purchase commitment to Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII). For the three months ended March 31, 2007 revenues were $10,973,000, compared with $10,178,000 in the same period last year.

The Company has executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with SII, under which, subject to concluding a definitive agreement, SII would make a one time payment to the Company of $3,000,000 in consideration for the elimination of minimum purchase commitments of both parties in the agreements under which SII distributes the Company's products in Japan and the Company distributes SII's products in the United States and Germany. Any payments received pursuant to the definitive agreement will be reflected in the Company's fiscal 2008 financial statements.

Barry Lipsky, President and CEO said that, "We are well on the road to a strong rebound in sales and a return to profitability in fiscal 2008 led by increased domestic sales and margin from the launch of three new products and broadened distribution, coupled with a 15% anticipated increase in our international sales." Mr. Lipsky went on to say, "We remain in an excellent cash position and continue to explore opportunities for acquisitions that would leverage our mainstream distribution channels and/or enhance the Company's technology and product development process."

AZZ incorporated Reports Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2008For the first quarter - Revenues Up 44%, Segment Operating Income Up 41% and Backlog Up 57%, FY 2008 earnings guidance increased to a range of $1.65 to $1.75 per diluted share

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AZZ incorporated , a manufacturer of electrical products and a provider of galvanizing services, today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended May 31, 2007. Revenues for the first quarter increased 44 percent to $75.4 million compared to $52.5 million for the same quarter last year. Net income for the quarter was $4.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in last year's first fiscal quarter. Earnings per share numbers are stated after adjusting for the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent share dividend and paid on May 4, 2007.

SG&A expenses significantly increased in the first quarter as compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. This increase over the prior period is primarily related to compensation expense for stock appreciation rights that fully vested and were booked during the quarter in the amount of approximately $4.4 million or 22 cents per diluted share.

Backlog at the end of the first quarter was $144.8 million versus $92.1 million at May 31, 2006, an increase of 57 percent. Backlog at February 28, 2007 year-end was $120.7 million. Incoming orders for the first quarter totaled $99.5 million while shipments for the quarter totaled $75.4 million, resulting in a book to ship ratio of 132 percent. Incoming orders increased 41 percent over the same period last year and equaled the record setting incoming order rate of the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Based upon current customer requested delivery dates and our production schedules, 72 percent of the backlog at May 31, 2007 is expected to ship in the current fiscal year. Of the backlog of $144.8 million, 35 percent is to be exported from the U.S.

Revenues for the Electrical and Industrial Products Segment increased by 30 percent in the first quarter of the current fiscal year to $40.9 million compared to $31.5 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the segment increased 55 percent to $6.3 million. Operating margins of 15.5 percent for the first quarter compare favorably to the 13 percent in the first quarter of last year.

Revenues for the Company's Galvanizing Service Segment for the first quarter were $34.5 million, an increase of 65 percent compared to the $20.9 million in the same period last year. Operating income improved 32 percent to $8.6 million. Revenues for the first quarter continue to be favorably impacted by pricing actions to offset increased zinc cost. Of the 65 percent increase in revenues, 28 percent was attributable to volume and 37 percent attributable to price. Our acquisition of Witt Galvanizing on November 1, 2006, accounted for 69 percent of the volume increase.

David H. Dingus, president and chief executive officer of AZZ incorporated, commented, "Regarding our Electrical and Industrial Products Segment, we are pleased to report favorable increases in our revenues, operating margins and backlog for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. We have seen a continuation of improving market demand and improved pricing. We continue our emphasis on booking business at specific targeted margin levels and seeking out new market opportunities. While the largest increases in our incoming orders were related to our high voltage transmission products, all of our served markets reflected an increase over the same period of a year ago. Our domestic and international quotation and inquiry levels continue at an encouraging pace. The operating margin improvement is attributable to the leverage gained from increased volumes, quick turn jobs, and pricing actions.

The Galvanizing Services Segment achieved record setting revenues in the first quarter. Our operating results are reflective of strong market conditions and good price realization required to offset the increased cost of zinc. We are very pleased that the markets have been strong enough to absorb this level of price increases. The reduced volatility of zinc has not required us to significantly adjust our pricing levels from the third and fourth quarter of last year."

Mr. Dingus concluded, "Cost escalation recovery through pricing actions, expansion of domestic and international markets, and seeking out new product opportunities to further enhance our strategic position continue to be the focus and emphasis of our activities. Based upon the evaluation of information currently available to management, we are increasing our estimate of FY2008 earnings to be within the range of $1.65 to $1.75 per diluted share and revenues to be within the range of $310 million to $320 million."

comScore signale un trafic important sur ses principaux sites français en mai

LONDRES, June 29 /PRNewswire/ --

- L'intérêt national passe de la politique à la fiscalité et au commerce

comScore (NASDAQ : SCOR), un des leaders mondiaux dans le domaine de la mesure d'audience d'Internet, a révélé aujourd'hui le classement des sites Internet français et celui des sites les plus visités en France au cours du mois de mai, sur la base des données recueillies grâce à son service de mesure d'audience comScore World Metrix. Les Français ont laissé de côté les élections présidentielles pour s'orienter vers la fiscalité, les achats et la météo.

- Google reste le site le plus visité en France avec 17,8 millions de visiteurs en mai et 69 % des internautes français. - La fiscalité a particulièrement intéressé les Français au mois de mai du fait des échéances des déclarations de revenus. Les sites officiels Impots.gouv.fr, Finances.gouv.fr et CNAF enregistrent tous trois les meilleures progressions pour ce mois. Impots.gouv.fr a enregistré une croissance de 310 % avec 4,4 millions de visiteurs et occupe la première place en matière de progression. Finances.gouv.fr fait état d'un résultat de 219 % avec 2,5 millions de visiteurs français alors que CNAF suit avec 79 % et 2,5 millions de visiteurs. - Les sites de vente en ligne ont été particulièrement sollicités à l'occasion de la fête des mères en France comme le montre la progression du trafic à hauteur de 117 % sur les sites Karstadt- Quelle (2,6 millions de visiteurs), la hausse de 70 % sur le site des fleuristes Florajet.com (1,8 million de visiteurs) et de 47 % sur le site de vêtement Kiabi.com (2,1 millions de visiteurs). En outre, le groupe Ciao offrant une comparaison des prix a connu une progression de 40 % avec 3,7 millions de visiteurs. La progression de 13 % du trafic au sein du Groupe PPR (8,6 millions de visiteurs), le site du top 10 qui a enregistré la croissance la plus importante en mai dernier a notamment été due à la recrudescence des visites sur le site Laredoute.fr. - Enfin, les vacanciers français ont surveillé de près les prévisions météo alors qu'ils planifiaient les longs week-ends du mois de mai. Le site Meteofrance.com a dès lors enregistré une progression de 33 % avec 4,3 millions de visiteurs.

Sipex Announces Industry's Smallest 30V DC/DC Buck ControllersThe SP612X Family provides internal compensation minimizing board space in industrial systems

MILPITAS, Calif., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sipex Corporation today announced the release of the SP6125, SP6126, and SP6127, a family of High-Voltage Step Down DC/DC Controllers in a 2.9x2.8mm TSOT6 package. These regulators feature an input voltage range up to 30V which make them capable of supporting the wide variety of supply rails found in many industrial and embedded systems. This family is also supported by Sipex's PowerLab online design tool and downloadable spice models.

The 300kHz SP6125, 600kHz SP6126, and the 900kHz SP6127 provide engineers a common architecture which allows them to optimize each design for size and efficiency. These controllers are appropriate for generating a 5V or 3.3V system bus, as well as, providing the 1.xV core voltage for devices such as Altera's Cyclone(R) and Xilinx's Spartan(TM) series FPGAs.

Sipex innovative design has integrated a complete set of features into a minimum package size. The Internal control loop compensation and true op-amp error amplifier provides fast transient response while minimizing external component count. The Vin feed forward voltage mode architecture also ensures stable operation over the entire input voltage range to ensure design reliability.

"As system designers try to increase the functionality of their products, even large boards have less and less space available for the power supply. The small solution size and easy implementation allow the designer to add more product features," said Jon Cronk, Power Management Marketing Director. "Sipex's PowerLab online design tool keeps design time to a minimum so the engineer can reduce their time to market."

Lee Cleveland, Sr. Vice President of Engineering adds, "The 4.5V to 30V operating range within this small package represents a true challenge in power management design. Sipex continues to expand it's capability in solving difficult engineering problems for our customers."
