North American Technologies Group, Inc. Releases Annual Report

IRVING, Texas, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- North American Technologies Group, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NAMC) , world leader in engineered composite railroad ties, released its 10-KBS report for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

The report reflects substantial improvement in the Company's operating results. The Company's net sales increased by 199% to $21,661,240, a $10,801,051 increase from prior 12 month period. This 199% increase was due to increased sales and prices for the Company's products.

During 2007 the Company was awarded contracts from leading companies in the class one rail and transit market segments. Sale of ties to the Chicago Transit Authority for its Blue Line track restoration project, the Union Pacific Railroad Company and other contracts has led the company to focus on increasing production to meet additional sales demand.

The Company is focused on achieving certain lean manufacturing efficiencies while improving its cost and managerial structure. Recent initiatives include consolidation of production facilities, diversification of raw material sources, heightened focus on quality management and managerial adjustments to allow increased focus on the Company's key result areas.

Alex Rankin, NAMC's Chief Executive Officer said, "While the Company is continuing to absorb certain legacy and restructuring costs from initial commercialization, a core business is emerging which shows evidence of exceptional potential. Continued focus on production capacity, efficiencies and cost improvements will further our goal of world leadership in the high performance tie market. TieTek is committed to achieving customer preference where determinants for supplier selection include high costs of replacement, caustic environments, heavy loads, noise, environmental concerns and generally excessive life cycle costs. We are committed to delivery of exceptional value for our customers. Recent progress is encouraging."

More Cable TV Choice for Rowley, Mass., Consumers1,800 More Households Now Can Order Verizon's FiOS TV, the Only TV Service Delivered Over Nation's Most Advanced Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers

ROWLEY, Mass., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, consumers in Rowley have more choice in cable TV providers now that Verizon has introduced FiOS TV, making a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to some 1,800 more Massachusetts households.

Rowley is among 61 Massachusetts communities [see list below] where the company's new television service is being offered -- the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses. FiOS TV is now available to consumers in more than 400,000 Massachusetts households.

Verizon is currently negotiating with several other communities in Massachusetts to obtain additional franchises. For more information on the Verizon franchise process in the state, visit http://www.verizon.com/ma.

Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, said, "FiOS TV gives consumers in Rowley an outstanding, superior alternative for their video entertainment. Customers in Rowley who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the speed and capacity of fiber-based broadband with the power of broadcast to create a revolutionary, new entertainment experience."

Massachusetts residents who are FiOS TV-eligible now have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Value unlimited calling plan, all for $99.99 a month.

Service highlights include: * FiOS TV Premier, the lead offer, delivers more than 200 all-digital channels. * A total of 30 high-definition channels with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound. * A library of more than 10,000 on-demand titles, 60 percent of which are free. * The choice of three set-top boxes: standard definition for $4.99 per month; high definition, which includes HD channels, for $9.99 per month; and a dual-tuner, HD-capable digital video recorder for $12.99 per month. * Channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming. * An easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, On Demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience. * The option of Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, a new feature that lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best. * FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market. Because FiOS TV has so much capacity, it is an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Information on packages and prices is available at http://www.verizon.net/fiostv. Rowley customers also can call 1-888-GET-FIOS to see if they qualify to order FiOS TV.

Verizon research indicates 87 percent of Massachusetts residents favor more competition and choice for video services. Independent studies have shown that competition in the video market brings enormous benefits to consumers in the form of reduced prices, better packages and improved service.

FiOS TV is designed to be a formidable competitor to cable and satellite. Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, the largest of its kind in the country, is currently under construction in more than half the states where the company offers landline communications services, including more than 60 Massachusetts communities.

The network brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability.

Verizon Wireless Encourages Michigan Domestic Violence Organizations To Apply for Grants

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today it is seeking grant proposals from non-profit organizations in Michigan for programs that directly benefit domestic violence survivors and their families or for initiatives that raise awareness of and prevent domestic violence, teen dating violence, partner violence or elder abuse.

Grant applicants must have a 501(c) 3 tax status, and funding requests should not exceed $10,000. Proposals may be submitted in writing to Michelle Gilbert at michelle.gilbert@verizonwireless.com.

Verizon Wireless is a recognized corporate leader for its commitment to preventing domestic violence and raising awareness of the issue. In 2007, Verizon Wireless -- along with the Verizon Foundation -- donated more than $420,000 in cash grants, phones and airtime to shelters and other organizations in Michigan working to support victims of domestic violence and their families

"We are here to help those nonprofits that work so hard to combat domestic violence and make our community a safer place to live," said Greg Haller, president-Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless.

STMicroelectronics Launches Sub-50 Cent 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller FamilyHighly cost-effective 8-pin to 32-pin series, with 2KB to 8KB embedded Flash memory, retains advanced technology benefits and supports upgrade path to ST7Lite

GENEVA, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics today announced a new ultra-low-cost series of Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) intended for highly cost-sensitive products such as electric bicycles (ebikes), air conditioning, small appliances and sensors. The ST7FOX series includes devices with from 2KB to 8KB of on-chip Flash memory, and with eight to 32 pins, all of which are priced below the critical 50 cent ($0.50) threshold.

Part of the well-established and popular ST7 family of MCUs, built on an industry-standard 8-bit architecture, the new devices achieve their remarkably low unit cost with a simplified feature set, while maintaining the benefits of a robust and proven technology. ST7FOX operates at +5V (plus or minus 10%) power supply, and includes a relaxed RC oscillator which can be calibrated within the application.

The CISC (complex instruction set computer) architecture is a significant advantage for the production of compact code matching the small memory footprint of the family's devices, with nested interrupt management and a variety of addressing modes in the core architecture simplifying high level language coding.

ST7FOX is designed to satisfy the increasing needs in the industry for reliable low-end and very low-cost MCUs for use in cost-critical applications. However its upgrade path to the easy-to-use ST7Lite family -- itself a cost- effective solution -- also enables manufacturers to build scalable product families to address broader markets.

The very low pricing enables designers to implement a microcontroller solution to replace electromechanical or logic-based control, and for the same cost as ROM devices this Flash-based family will ease inventory management and simplify the supply-chain. A free integrated development environment (IDE), including a C compiler, minimizes costs for developers.

Samples of ST7FOX are available now in: 8-pin DIP or SO-8 packaged devices with 2-Kbytes of Flash, and 32-pin DIP or LQFP devices with 4-Kbytes of Flash. All are priced at less than $0.50 in large quantities.

P Phone (a.k.a. Asia Premium Television) Acquires Significant Assets to Enhance its Mobile Marketing Strategy

BEIJING, Jan. 3 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- P Phone, Inc. (a.k.a. Asia Premium Television Group, Inc.)(Bulletin Board: ATVG)("P Phone"), a China-based marketing and ad sales company, today announced that it has acquired significant assets to enhance its mobile marketing strategy.

The Company has entered into an agreement with the China Mobile and Communications Association ("CMCA") and its wholly-controlled affiliate, Union Max Enterprises, Ltd ("Union Max") to obtain rights to operate as a Provincial Class One Full Service Operator in Jiangxi Province. Based in Beijing, CMCA is China's leading association of Telecoms and Telecom-related companies. It is also a key business partner of P Phone.

As part of the same agreement, P Phone has also acquired a 70% stake in Jiangxi Hongcheng Tengyi Telecommunication Company, Ltd ("Jiangxi Hongcheng"), a local reseller of mobile minutes.

"Provincial Class One Full Service Operator" is the Chinese term used to describe a company that does not own its own networking infrastructure, but has the right to provide self-branded mobile services (in this case "P Phone"- branded) using the telecom operator's network [in this case China Mobile (Jiangxi)'s network].

Provincial Class One Full Service Operators provide services similar to those of Mobile Virtual Network Operators ("MVNOs") such as Virgin Mobile (UK) in the West, but with special Chinese characteristics. They operate in partnership with the provincial Telecoms -- in this case China Mobile (Jiangxi) -- to offer an array of integrated mobile media and payment services that enhance the mobile experience of consumers.

Rights to operate as a Provincial Class One Full Service Operator are some of the highest operating rights that non-state mobile operators can receive in China, a country with over 450 million cell phone users but with only two state-run mobile carriers - China Mobile and China Unicom.

P Phone obtained its Provincial Class One Full Service Operator rights and supporting mobile operating assets in Jiangxi province from CMCA/Union Max through a three-step process procured by CMCA/Union Max. The process, which has already been completed, is as follows:

STEP 1. CMCA/Union Max procured a contract for P Phone to acquire Provincial Class One Full Service Operator rights from China Mobile (Jiangxi). The agreement includes quasi-exclusive rights:

(a) To resell China Mobile minutes to consumers in Jiangxi Province.

(b) To sell P Phone-branded (or "Kuai Yi Cong"-branded in Chinese) mobile services, including: debit-card based payments over mobile phones, content and other mobile based marketing services to consumers in Jiangxi Province.

(c) To embed software solutions into SIM cards for the purpose of distributing content and other branded-mobile services in Jiangxi Province.

(d) To distribute P Phone-branded SIM cards, phones and smart film through China Mobile (Jiangxi)'s retail outlets in Jiangxi Province.

CMCA has also agreed to assist the company to obtain preferred content portal and content aggregation status with China Mobile (Jiangxi).

STEP 2. CMCA/Union Max procured an agreement for P Phone to acquire 70% of Jiangxi Hongcheng Tengyi Telecommunication Company, Ltd ("Jiangxi Hongcheng"), a local reseller of mobile minutes in Jiangxi province. P Phone plans to use Jiangxi Hongcheng as its designated exclusive local operator in for the services listed in Step 1.

STEP 3. CMCA/Union Max procured sales access to 100% of China Mobile (Jiangxi)'s existing 20,000 retail outlets, which will be granted to Hongcheng Tengyi by China Mobile (Jiangxi) over the next three to five months. According to China Mobile (Jiangxi), the run rate of sales at these outlets is currently RMB730 million (approximately US$97 million) per year. Such revenue derives only from the resale of mobile minutes. P Phone plans to expand these revenues in 2008 by offering its additional mobile and mobile-based marketing services to mobile users and advertisers.

The aggregate consideration of the Agreement to be paid by the Company is US$6 million. The consideration will be satisfied through the issuance of 300,000 new shares of P Phone (ATVG) common stock valued at US$5 per share and a cash payment of US$4.5 million.

To generate funds for the cash portion of the consideration, the Company will divest its existing, low-margin media buying business. This media-buying business presently carries several unfavorable operating risks, including: (a) high working-capital requirements (the company has to finance the large-scale media-buying of its clients on an ongoing basis); (b) high dependence on certain corporate clients for business; (c) large accounts receivables due to long payment collection cycles common in China; and (d) reliance on key management members who maintain important client relationships.

To divest the existing low-margin media buying business, P Phone has entered into an agreement with Fanya Advertising Company Ltd ("Fanya"), an affiliate of one of the Company's existing media-buying clients. According to the agreement, the Company will sell its media buying operations to Fanya for a cash consideration of US$4.5 million. The Company will also pay Fanya a separate one-time fee of US$300,000 to have Fanya assume all debts and payables associated with the media-buying business. The entire US$4.5 million proceeds paid to the Company by Fanya will be used to satisfy the US$4.5 million consideration of the Company's agreement with CMCA/Union Max (see above).

As a result of the agreement with CMCA/Union Max, P Phone has become China's first Provincial Class One Full Service Operator. It will begin rolling out its "P Phone"-branded (or "Kuai Yi Cong"-branded in Chinese) mobile services in early 2008 with the support of China Mobile (Jiangxi) and CMCA/Union Max. The Company's mobile services initially will include the resale of China Mobile minutes, and over time will include debit-card based payments over mobile phones, mobile media and content services and other mobile-based marketing solutions. Revenue streams will include: (a) commissions on the resale of China Mobile minutes; (b) tiered mobile media and content service fees; and (c) mobile-based marketing service fees to corporate clients. The Company will generate supplemental revenue through its existing brand agency services.

To best reflect the Company's expansion into China's mobile space as a Provincial Class One Full Service Operator, the Company plans to change its name from "Asia Premium Television Group, Inc." to "P Phone Mobile Networks, Ltd" rather than from "Asia Premium Television Group, Inc." to "P Phone, Inc., as previously disclosed in a press release on November 21, 2007.

The Company will also appoint Mr. Lo Pei De, Executive Secretary General of the China Mobile and Communications Association (CMCA), to serve as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Lo will replace the current chairman Mr. Li Li, who will step down but continue to serve as a strategic advisor to the Company.

Mr. Lo commented on P Phone's developments, "This acquisition of Provincial Class One Full Service Operator rights is a landmark move to transform P Phone from a traditional marketing company into a new-age mobile marketing and service company. We look forward to rolling out our P Phone solution in 2008 under the support of China Mobile (Jiangxi) and the China Mobile and Communications Association. We believe our enhanced mobile business model will position us for profitable, scalable growth in the new year."

The Company will continue to be quoted on the NASDAQ OTC under the symbol "ATVG" until further notice.

And whether our customers prefer to bank at Wachovia, SunTrust, FirstBank or BancorpSouth, they can now do so wherever they go because Firethorn and their financial institution partners provide a secure, easy-to-use and flexible mobile banking application that delivers a superior customer experience."

Financial institutions that have joined the Firethorn network include: Wachovia , SunTrust Bank , Regions Financial , BancorpSouth , Synovus , FirstBank, Arvest Bank, and America First Credit Union.

Firethorn chief executive officer Tripp Rackley said, "Viewing balances, making transfers and paying bills on-the-go is an exciting first step for millions of Verizon Wireless customers. Together with Verizon Wireless and our financial partners, we are helping to define the market for mobile financial services."

The Firethorn application is currently available on several phones from Verizon Wireless, including the Chocolate and enV by LG, LG VX8700, LG VX8600, LG VX9400, and the Samsung SCH-a950.

CIBER Selected as E-Commerce Vendor by Elite Island ResortsSearch Engine Optimization Services Will Help Lower Client Acquisition Costs

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc. has been selected to develop four property-direct e-commerce web sites and two e-commerce web portals for Elite Island Resorts. "Property-direct" sites link the reservation booking transaction directly to the resort instead of working through a third party, such as Expedia or Orbitz. For this reason, property-direct sites provide significant cost savings for the resort.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO)

Elite Island Resorts is a leader in the travel and hospitality industry, owning and managing a number of properties in the Caribbean, including higher-end resorts on Antigua and the Grenadines. Elite also provides marketing services to other higher-end resorts on Tortola and St. Lucia.

CIBER launched the first of the web sites in October for the Verandah Resort and Spa, an eco-friendly 200-room luxury family resort that opened on Oct. 19 in Antigua.

For the project, CIBER will provide web site design and development services, content management services, and advanced search engine marketing (ASEM) services, including recurrent organic optimization, pay-per-click management, social marketing and detailed e-commerce reporting through CIBER's advanced analytics offerings. The work will be performed by CIBER's Travel and Hospitality Practice, which is based out of CIBER's Orlando, Fla. office.

Recognizing the revenue and profit potential of effective e-commerce, Elite selected CIBER to replace existing web sites with CIBER's design and development services and to provide advanced search engine optimization methodologies, which should greatly enhance Elite's positioning within search engine listings. CIBER e-commerce services will provide more detailed reporting and expanded data harvesting and customer relations management capabilities to Elite for the company's recurrent experiential direct marketing initiatives.

"CIBER's high-quality design capabilities, disciplined delivery methodologies and in-depth hospitality e-commerce experience really impressed us," said Mark Klayman, Vice President for E-Commerce at Elite Island Resorts. "CIBER demonstrated the highest levels of expertise with hospitality search engine marketing and the newest technologies available, including 3G, or the third generation of search marketing. Their search engine marketing program will help us lower acquisition costs and create more customized vacation experiences for our guests. This is a critical initiative for our resort portfolio and we eagerly anticipate the results the new sites and advanced search engine marketing services will generate."

Travel and hospitality companies, such as hotels, airlines, and cruise lines, for example, promote their services through numerous channels -- their own web sites, the global distribution system, third-party sites such as Travelocity, Expedia, Hotels.com, and search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN and Ask.com. When customers book a reservation through a third-party site, the travel and hospitality company must pay a fee to the third party that may be as high as 40% of the total booking revenue. However, when guests book directly through the company's site, no commissions or transactional fees are required, thereby reducing acquisition costs to as low as 2-5%. CIBER's advanced search engine marketing services will help Elite direct more customers to their proprietary web sites and away from the more costly third-party sites and other distribution channels, thereby producing greater top-line profit.

"We are delighted to be selected by Elite to lead this important initiative," said Don Bosworth, CHA, and Director of Business Development for CIBER's Travel and Hospitality Practice. "In addition to the cost savings provided by our advanced search engine marketing services, Elite will benefit from having greater control of guest data. This will enable Elite and CIBER to scale direct experiential marketing programs involving customized vacation itineraries and packages to guests that visit the web sites and demonstrate interest in various Caribbean activities. We are confident Elite will be very pleased with the results we generate."

(BULLETIN BOARD: UNXL) , the developer of flat panel color display technology called Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter ("TMOS"), today announced it has successfully completed the assembly of a series of prototype TMOS display systems. Leveraging its recent agreement with and efforts supported by Philips' open innovation center, the MiPlaza Facility at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, Netherlands, UniPixel completed the assembly of six display prototype devices. This series of TMOS prototypes encapsulate a range of materials with varying attributes which will be tested and evaluated to determine the impacts of the variations in design and materials on system functionality.

Mr. Reed Killion, President of UniPixel, stated the following: "UniPixel set a goal to deliver prototype devices by the end of the year. The TMOS displays we have in house today meet that objective. The initial performance results we are seeing as we test each system fall right in line with our predictive models and associated expectations. We are very pleased with the performance of the TMOS prototype devices we have in the lab today. The pixel performance is good enough for full motion video and some of the prototypes are actuating under twenty volts. Over the course of the next few months we will put these systems through exhaustive testing to fully characterize and optimize each of the TMOS sub-systems. We expect these optimization efforts to further demonstrate the superior performance advantages that TMOS display technology offers. We look forward to announcing the test results from these TMOS prototypes as they are completed."

Audiovox Completes Acquisition of Thomson's Consumer Electronics Audio Video Business

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Audiovox Corporation announced today that on December 31, 2007, it completed its acquisition of Thomson's Consumer Electronics Audio Video Business outside of Europe, including the worldwide rights to the RCA brand for consumer electronics audio video product lines except TVs and certain additional product categories.

As previously announced, the purchase price is $19.7 million, plus a net asset payment, and includes a five-year fee, which begins in 2010, related to the RCA brand. Audio Video Products acquired include DVD players and recorders, portable DVD players, GPS devices, HD and Internet Radios, stand alone ATSC terrestrial television converters, clock radios, MP3 and MP4 players, digital cameras and camcorders and other product that falls within the audio/video field of use.

In total, Audiovox will be acquiring approximately $400 million in sales and expects to retain $150 million of that related to the RCA branded MP3 and MP4 players, digital cameras, camcorders and clock radios. The Company is entering into a license agreement with Multimedia Device Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer to market the remaining product categories acquired in the transaction. The Company expects the transaction to be accretive within the first year.

Patrick Lavelle, President and CEO of Audiovox stated, "Our goal with this acquisition was to further control and consolidate the RCA brand and prevent fractionalization at the retail level. We believe this acquisition will add approximately $150 million in sales and a revenue stream with an up front $10 million payment. In addition, it will allow us to spread fixed overhead over a higher sales base, which will further reduce OPEX percentage, since the acquired overhead will be limited. We will establish Audiovox Mexico utilizing the former Thomson facility there, giving Audiovox a presence in that growing market and allowing us to expand the entire Audiovox line."

Lavelle added, "Over the past year, we have made five acquisitions including this one that should generate sales of approximately $300-$350 million ... for approximately $100 million. We believe we have purchased wisely and that these acquisitions should lead to improved operating and financial performance in our next fiscal year."

The Company intends to integrate the Thomson and Technuity assets into its operations during the remainder of its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter and fiscal 2009 first quarter and should have much of the work complete by May 31, 2008. The newly acquired assets will be included in Audiovox Electronics Corporation's Consumer Electronics group.

In January 2007, Audiovox completed its acquisition of Thomson's America's consumer electronics accessory business, which included the rights to the RCA brand for consumer electronics accessories. That acquisition also included the Recoton, Spikemaster, Ambico and Discwasher brands for use on any products and the Jensen, Advent, Acoustic Research and Road Gear brands for accessory products that complemented the purchase of those brands for electronics products in 2003.

In March 2007, Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the acquisition of Oehlbach a European market leader in accessories. That was followed by an August 2007 acquisition of Incaar Limited, a UK business that specializes in rear seat entertainment systems, which added to our European operation an accessory and OE component, respectively.

In November of 2007, Audiovox Accessories Corporation completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Technuity, Inc., an emerging leader in the battery and power products industry and exclusive licensee of the Energizer brand in North America for rechargeable batteries and battery packs for camcorders, cordless phones, digital cameras, DVD players and other power supply devices. This acquisition was made to further strengthen the Company's position in the accessory market.
