CHANDLER, Ariz., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLink Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProLink Holdings Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: PLKH) and the world's leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") golf course management systems and digital out-of-home on-course advertising, today announced that Crystal Springs Golf Course (Burlingame, Calif.) now features the ProLink Solutions GPS system used at many of the world's most famous golf courses.

Designed by legendary architect William Herbert Fowler and opened in 1924, Crystal Springs is one of the most unique golf courses in the Bay Area. The hilly layout challenges golfers with uneven lies and well bunkered greens, following the natural lay of the land near Crystal Springs Reservoir. The course is part of a 32,000-acre wildlife refuge and offers splendid views of the reservoir and nearby Coastal Range.

"Crystal Springs is a classic layout that requires golfers to think their way around, and the ProLink GPS system is a great strategic aid," said Steve Bratcher, general manager at Crystal Springs. "Pace of play picks up when golfers can access their yardage right from the cart, and that makes for a better experience. ProLink also helps us manage our cart fleet and delivers increased customer service from food-and-beverage to tournament operations, so it's a win-win for golfers and Crystal Springs Golf Course."

"We are proud to call Crystal Springs a trusted partner -- it is one of Northern California's truly original courses," said Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions. "Whether classic or modern, golf courses enhance the playing experience and boost the bottom line with ProLink GPS."

With ProLink's patented, 10.4" high-resolution color screen -- the industry's largest -- Crystal Springs' cart-mounted units display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes. Golfers at Crystal Springs will also be able to order food and beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProLink screen.

Waytronx Introduces Industry's First Single-Slot, Integrated 400-Watt CPU Cooler to the European Market; Confirms Initial Delivery of WayCool Carbon Interface to OCZ TechnologyWayCool(TM) U400NT supports the industry's move toward integrated computing systems that deliver ultimate performance and rich graphics from a compact design

VISTA, Calif., March. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waytronx, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: WYNX) , the leading provider of openly licensable advanced systems cooling solutions, today announced that it has introduced the WayCool(TM) U400NT reference design to the European market. WayCool U400NT, the revolutionary single-slot 400-Watt integrated CPU and peripherals cooler, simplifies cooling architecture by replacing heat sinks, active air fans and coolers, as well as liquid CPU coolers, and is compatible with Intel and AMD processors.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080116/CLW101-b )

The extremely quiet, fan-less WayCool U400NT reference design is the industry's first cooler that can manage multiple heat sources on the motherboard in a single slot configuration. These features make the WayCool U400NT a critical component of integrated computing systems that can deliver superior multimedia, memory, connectivity, performance and display flexibility from ultra compact designs. The WayCool U400NT reference design, introduced to the U.S. market at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in January, and now available in Europe, supports systems designers looking to build smaller and more powerful workstations, portable devices and PCs.

Some of the industry's leading cooling solution manufacturers, graphic chip suppliers and system designers attending the CeBIT 2008 Conference in Hannover, Germany last week responded enthusiastically to the technology's compact feature and cooling capabilities during demonstrations of the WayCool U400NT plumbed to two of the industry's most powerful graphic cards.

"It was very apparent at CeBIT that the graphics card market, in particular, is eager to have a truly silent cooling solution which takes up less real estate on the motherboard. The ability of our U400NT to cool multiple high-end GPU cards with a fan-less, single slot solution dramatically and efficiently addresses both of those concerns," said William Clough, chief executive officer of Waytronx, Inc.

The licensable WayCool U400NT reference design is a complete cooling platform which includes the innovative WayCool(TM) carbon technology. WayCool carbon technology, which will soon ship to OCZ Technology to power one the industry's most powerful CPU coolers, offers up to four times the heat transfer capability of copper plates, which are commonly used in cooling solutions today.

Leveraging science and advance materials technology, the WayCool U400NT is able to address extreme heat from multiple sources in a compact configuration that is also efficient in terms of power consumption. Demonstration of the plumbed architecture confirmed that the WayCool U400NT is capable of up to 400 Watts of thermal management capacity for the hottest graphics CPUs and peripherals.

Additionally, Waytronx confirms that the first order of WayCool carbon interfaces will be shipped to OCZ Technology later this month. The carbon interface material is to be used in OCZ's new HydroJet CPU cooler, which incorporates a key technology from the WayCool U400DT cooler reference design.

According to Cliff Melby, Waytronx chief operating officer, "I was gratified to confirm at CeBIT that OCZ is moving forward on this exciting project. The implementation of such new and unique technology is always a challenging and time consuming proposition, but we are nearing the first commercialization of the WayCool Technology in a market-leading product, the OCZ HydroJet."

About the WayCool U400NT

The WayCool U400NT is a pre-defined, tested and optimized reference design to address extreme heat and improve system performance in specific engineering combinations. The WayCool U400NT replaces heat sinks, active air fans and coolers, and liquid CPU coolers, and is compatible with Intel and AMD processors. WayCool U400NT can be plumbed to alternative heat sources such as graphic cards, memory or northbridge chipsets. The design allows one cooler to manage multiple heat sources on the motherboard without fans, multiple pumps or additional loss of real estate, for improved processor performance and maximum over-clocking performance.

About Waytronx, Inc.

Waytronx, Inc. has pioneered and is commercializing innovative thermal management solutions capable of revolutionizing industries including semiconductor, solar, government and electronic packaging, among others. Utilizing its patented WayCool(TM) hybrid mesh architecture, Waytronx can enhance system performance and remove thermal barriers caused by "microwarming" in today's advanced computing devices. The Company delivers licensable reference designs for central and graphics processors, solar energy cooling and power supply cooling. These solutions deliver more cost effective and efficient thermal management to the industry. Waytronx is headquartered in the San Diego area.

AT&T Announces OPT-E-WAN a Virtual Private LAN Service With National and Global ReachCompany Also Expands Midband Ethernet Capability by Introducing Three New Connection Speeds Below 10 Mbps

SAN ANTONIO, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. today announced the introduction of expanded capabilities of AT&T's Ethernet portfolio with the rollout of a global virtual private local area network service (VPLS) and expanded midband Ethernet connection speeds -- including speeds below 10 Mbps -- that enable businesses to use Ethernet services over copper wires.

AT&T's VPLS service called OPT-E-WAN(SM), will enable businesses to link multiple locations -- whether across town or around the world -- with all the ease and efficiency of a point-to-point Ethernet connection. The service is expected to be available beginning this summer. Throughout 2008, AT&T plans to make these services available in the U.S. and in 14 overseas locations -- Frankfurt, London, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Dublin/Cork, Milan, Madrid and Zurich in Europe; and Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo in the Asia/Pacific region.

Because OPT-E-WAN uses the same simple and highly scalable Ethernet interfaces, businesses will have a great deal of flexibility to mix and match bandwidth and security among locations. This will allow network managers to assign network resources across the virtual LANs with a level of sophistication not possible before.

Demand for Ethernet services worldwide continues to expand, reaching a global market size of nearly $12 billion in 2007, according to the research firm, Ovum(1). That growth is being driven by the need that businesses of all sizes have for affordable and easy-to-manage bandwidth to support next-generation enterprise applications including disaster recovery, storage and converged voice and video. Ovum also notes that Ethernet service over copper wires is the fastest-growing segment of the Ethernet market, with growth expected to continue.

"OPT-E-WAN will provide users with a new level of choices for establishing virtual LAN or WAN connections, unlike other services -- such as traditional Frame Relay -- that typically limit users to point-to-point connections," said Sanford Brown, vice president, AT&T Connectivity and Metro Network Services. "Because it uses Ethernet interfaces, OPT-E-WAN can be configured easily in a variety of ways to meet customer needs whether they require point-to-point, multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint connections.

"And when combined with the power and global reach of AT&T's Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) core, customers will get the look and feel of a metro Ethernet network that can handle converged voice, data and video applications globally, along with the ability to scale it seamlessly," Brown said.

New OPT-E-MAN Connection Speeds

At the same time, AT&T is adding new connection speeds of 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps, and 8 Mbps to its OPT-E-MAN(R) switched metro Ethernet service that uses AT&T's MPLS network backbone to transport voice, data and video applications to multiple locations. The new speeds will be available in AT&T's 13-state legacy footprint, and will be supported by AT&T's industry-leading service level agreements offered with OPT-E-MAN service. AT&T already offers 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps, and 8 Mbps Metro Ethernet(R) speeds in the nine-state Southeast footprint.

The lower speeds will help businesses connect to Ethernet services over fiber facilities or over copper facilities, eliminating the need for businesses to invest in expensive fiber build outs when copper facilities are readily available. For example, businesses with large data centers located in a metro area may need to connect multiple smaller offices, or branch offices, to their centrally located centers. These smaller locations may require less bandwidth and may reside in suburban or rural areas where copper facilities are more accessible.

Pricing for the new connection speeds is based on a combination of the rate, level of support and grade of service, and contract terms range from one to five years.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Appfluent Technology, Inc. today announced that TELUS has successfully deployed the Appfluent Product Suite to improve its BI and Data Warehouse performance and increase the agility and effectiveness of its IT staff.

"We are entering into the era of pervasive BI, where low latency, in-process 'actionable' information is required to support critical tactical and strategic business decisions. Appfluent gives our Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC) holistic and non-invasive insight into corporate data usage, infrastructure utilization and query performance," said Simon Gratton, Director, Business Transformation at TELUS. "With ever-increasing quantities of data requiring consolidation, aggregation and transformation, and changing business needs from the resulting data warehouse information, ongoing proactive usage analytics after solution deployment are crucial to both reducing the total cost of ownership and ensuring ongoing customer satisfaction with the performance and content of the enterprise BI solution."

TELUS required the ability to accurately diagnose and remedy performance problems before they happen, provide visibility to data usage and system utilization to efficiently scale its BI and Data Warehouse environment, and reduce the complexity of its database and application systems while increasing the collaboration of their BI/ Data Warehouse teams.

"For the first time, we are able to directly link performance problems with specific end-user reports and queries."

IBM recently announced the DB2 Warehouse Performance Management suite teaming with Appfluent Technology to deliver the most comprehensive data warehouse lifecycle management solution that combines the Performance Optimization feature already available in DB2 Warehouse with the new Performance Monitoring feature that takes advantage of Appfluent's monitoring and workload analysis software.

City of Clearwater Implements Oracle(R) Utilities Work and Asset ManagementFlorida Municipality Enhances Visibility into Public Works Assets to Strengthen Budgeting, Streamline Operations and Manage Costs

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- Oracle today announced that the City of Clearwater has successfully implemented Oracle(R) Utilities Work and Asset Management to gain a comprehensive view of its infrastructure assets to help enhance planning, streamline operations and contain costs. -- The City of Clearwater's gas department is the city's fourth department to deploy Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management, joining the city's Public Utilities, Solid Waste/General Services and Police Departments on the Oracle system. -- The City of Clearwater -- located in the Pinellas peninsula midway on Florida's West Coast, and home to more than 110,000 permanent residents and 20,000 additional winter residents -- required a single asset management solution that would provide a cohesive view of citywide capital resources while also supporting tailored requirements for multiple departments. The city was migrating from a legacy system that did not provide visibility across multiple departments or the applications required to enhance asset management processes. -- To maintain high levels of service to its citizens and complete field maintenance to prepare for Florida's tropical storm season, the City of Clearwater is using Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management to improve budgeting and planning throughout the asset lifecycle, and to optimize its field maintenance workforce and manage costs effectively. -- Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management provides city managers with an enhanced understanding of field asset maintenance costs, which is essential to budget effectively for significant equipment repairs and replacements. The application allows the City to take a proactive approach to asset maintenance -- resulting in fewer unplanned system outages due to faulty equipment. City managers also use the information from the Oracle application to provide elected officials and residents with quantifiable information and increased visibility into the City's asset management operations. Further, the Oracle system supports enhanced recordkeeping that is available to any authorized user. Phasing In Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management -- The City's leaders directed a phased, department-by-department rollout for the Oracle Work and Asset Management application. The City initially implemented the Oracle application in 2004 at its Public Utilities department, which included the Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water divisions. In 2006, the City rolled out the application at the Solid Waste/General Services department, which is responsible for citywide building and fleet maintenance. This rollout also addressed users in the Police department responsible for asset and property management. -- The City's gas department, Clearwater Gas System, also went live with the Oracle application in summer 2007. Clearwater Gas System provides natural and propane gas equipment installation and services to 19,000 customers across a 330-square-mile service territory. The department's 90 employees use Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management to proactively maintain assets, as well as more effectively align the workforce to department priorities and develop accurate budget forecasts. Increasing Efficiencies Across City Government -- Currently 200 city employees use the Oracle application. The City of Clearwater will continue to implement Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management for additional asset-centric departments, including the Parks and Recreation Department. The City will also enable mobile asset management updates by deploying the application on laptops for field maintenance and repairs, which will help the City make immediate updates to the system and simplify the administration process for employees. Supporting Quotes -- "Establishing visibility across multiple departments is essential to optimizing equipment and associated staffing resources, while also closely tracking costs. We look forward to continuing to work with the City of Clearwater to help it maintain its highly efficient operations," said Quentin Grady, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Utilities. -- "We continue to focus on expanding our services while increasing employee efficiency. Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management provides us with a clearer understanding of the maintenance status of our diverse field assets. We are using this information to schedule service proactively and map priorities to staff resources, which enables us to increase productivity and service to our residents. In the past, much of our valuable data resided with key employees. The Oracle system provides a central source of accurate, up-to-date data, allowing us to share information citywide and better serve our citizens," said Dan Mayer, director of IT, Information Technology Department, City of Clearwater.

Oracle Introduces Oracle(R) Mobile Sales Assistant for Oracle CRM On Demand for BlackBerryOracle Redefines Mobile CRM And Continues Its Commitment to Industry-Leading CRM Innovation

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- Oracle announced Oracle(R) Mobile Sales Assistant, a new product that redefines mobile CRM access and productivity for Oracle CRM On Demand customers using the BlackBerry(R) wireless platform from Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM). -- Optimized for mobile professionals, Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant is a simple, highly intuitive application designed to help users collaborate with colleagues and customers, complete frequent tasks while out in the field and close deals more quickly while on the road. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant's intuitive user interface helps sales representatives become more efficient with frequently executed tasks, including managing appointments, collaborating with sales team members and connecting with customer contacts. -- With a single click, users can view account team information and customer contact information; communicate with the team through a call, email, or text message; and get driving directions through PIM and Web integration. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant enables automated prompts to remind users to follow-up or enter notes at the end of a conversation, ensuring vital information is stored locally on their smartphone or saved to the Oracle CRM On Demand in real-time. -- In contrast to browser-based mobile CRM solutions on the market today, Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant is a rich (Java) client application that also supports offline usage and a rich, streamlined user experience. -- Since Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant is delivered as a service, there are low-predictable costs without set-up fees or administrative overhead, and it is easy to deploy and manage because synchronization is not required. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant for BlackBerry(R) smartphones on the BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Server leverages the wireless platform's inherent security features and push-based architecture. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant is available on BlackBerry(R) OS 4.2 for the following devices: BlackBerry(R) 8800, 8820, 8830, BlackBerry(R) Curve 8300, 8310 and BlackBerry(R) 8700, 8703e, 8707. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant is available for Oracle CRM On Demand customers on the BlackBerry wireless platform for $30 per user per month. Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant and Social CRM -- Since collaborative applications, social networking, and mobile are driving forces behind Web 2.0 innovations, Oracle is investing heavily to integrate these into Oracle technologies. -- Social CRM enables users to become more effective and productive in their jobs through easy-to-use, focused collaborative applications that become 'smarter' by leveraging the collective intelligence of social networks and work both within and outside the barriers of companies. -- Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant embraces Social CRM to provide immediate access to critical information -- virtually anytime, anywhere -- removing barriers to productivity and collaboration, resulting in better customer insight that helps improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and increase sales. Supporting Quotes -- "In a recent Yankee Group survey of on demand CRM offerings, sales users overwhelmingly expressed interest in being connected to their CRM data via mobile devices," said Sheryl Kingstone, Director of Enterprise Research, Yankee Group. "Combined with an equally high number of responses expressing interest in application ease-of-use, it is clear that there exists a pent-up demand for consumable mobile applications such as Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant. There is a big difference between wireless CRM and mobile CRM." -- "The face of mobile CRM is changing with the release of Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant," said Oracle Senior Vice President of CRM Anthony Lye. "Traditional mobile CRM tries to put the kitchen sink onto a mobile device; sales professionals often don't like cumbersome CRM on their laptops and like it even less squeezed onto a tiny screen and keyboard. Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant takes a new, consumable approach to delivering CRM on mobile devices with a user interface that works the way sales teams work and finally enables significant productivity gains over traditional mobile CRM solutions."

Seagate Among '100 Best Corporate Citizens' According to CRO Magazine

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seagate Technology has been named to CRO Magazine's Ninth Annual top "100 Best Corporate Citizen" list, in recognition of the company's performance across a wide range of corporate citizenship and social responsibility issues.

"We are proud to receive this recognition from an organization such as CRO (Corporate Responsibility Officer Magazine), who for nine years has researched and acknowledged the companies that lead in corporate social responsibility across a variety of key criteria," said Dave Wickersham, president of Seagate. "While our efforts are ongoing, this recognition underscores the hard work Seagate has been doing to advance and sustain its position in all areas of corporate citizenship."

CRO Methodology

With transparency being such an important component of corporate responsibility, IW Financial relies on publicly-available data from company financial disclosures, sustainability/environment/citizenship reports, websites, EPA databases, and a number of other sources as part of its standardized research processes.

CRO also culled the initial rankings and excluded eight companies that numerically qualified as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens because of alleged transgressions that ranged from suppression of information about product risks to accounting scandals.

"Some companies have good environmental policies," says Mark Bateman, IW Financial's director of Research. "Some companies have great employee relations. Some companies have exemplary human rights records. CRO's 100 Best Corporate Citizens list answers the question: Which companies do best across a wide variety of citizenship issues? Companies can't make it onto the list if they do poorly in too many categories."

The 2008 list marks the 100 Best Corporate Citizens' ninth year in publication. Business Ethics magazine, which CRO acquired in 2006, published the list for the first seven years and CRO continued the tradition in 2007 and 2008. The list's methodology for 2008 includes two significant changes. First, CRO changed rating agencies, switching from KLD Analytics to IW Financial. The change was driven by IW Financial's dedication to basing rankings solely on publicly-available data, as compared with KLD's interview-and- questionnaire-based methodology. Second, the 2008 rankings are limited to the Russell 1000-companies that represent the largest impact on B2B and consumer markets. In previous years, the rankings also included the Domini 400 companies, which resulted in a perceived bias in favor of smaller companies.

The 100 Best companies will be honored in a special reception at the conclusion of the Spring CRO Conference March 27, 2008 at the Union League Club in NYC. For more information on the CRO Conferences, please go to http://www.thecro.com/conferences.

New Study Forecasts Explosive Growth of the Digital Universe; Spotlights Worldwide Phenomenon of 'Digital Shadow'For First Time the 'Digital Shadow' - Amount of Digital Information Being Generated About People - Surpasses the Amount They Create ThemselvesDigital Universe Bigger Than Estimated Due to Explosion of Digital Cameras, Digital TVs, Surveillance Cameras and Social Networks

HOPKINTON, Mass., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced new findings to the groundbreaking EMC-sponsored research from IDC that measures and forecasts the vast amounts and diverse types of digital information created and copied in the world.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080311/NETU032 )

"The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe: An Updated Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth Through 2011" highlights newly updated research first revealed in IDC's inaugural forecast of the digital universe published in March 2007. IDC's whitepaper offers updated growth projections and new findings expected to impact business and society based on new data and analysis that indicate:

-- At 281 billion gigabytes (281 exabytes), the digital universe in 2007 was 10% bigger than previously estimated -- With a compound annual growth rate of almost 60%, the digital universe is growing faster and is projected to be nearly 1.8 zettabytes (1,800 exabytes) in 2011, a 10-fold increase over five years -- Your "Digital Shadow" -- that is, all the digital information generated about the average person on a daily basis -- now surpasses the amount of digital information individuals actively create themselves

IDC's new research shows the digital universe is bigger and growing more rapidly than original estimates as a result of accelerated growth in worldwide shipments of digital cameras, digital surveillance cameras, and digital televisions as well as a better understanding of information replication trends. The digital universe in 2007 was equal to almost 45 gigabytes (GB) of digital information for every person on earth -- or the equivalent of over 17 billion 8 GB iPhones. Other fast-growing corners of the digital universe include those related to Internet access in emerging countries, sensor-based applications, data centers supporting "cloud computing" and social networks comprised of digital content created by many millions of online users.

IDC's research also examines how society and the digital universe interact with each another, addressing how individuals actively participate in contributing to the digital universe -- leaving a digital footprint as Internet and social network users, email use, through use of cell phones, digital cameras and credit card transactions. The white paper also highlights the fast-growing passive contributions that individuals make to the digital universe, something known as the "digital shadow."

"In the updated study, we discovered that only about half of your digital footprint is related to your individual actions -- taking pictures, sending emails, or making digital voice calls," said John Gantz, Chief Research Officer and Senior Vice President, IDC. "The other half is what we call the 'digital shadow' -- information about you -- names in financial records, names on mailing lists, web surfing histories or images taken of you by security cameras in airports or urban centers. For the first time your digital shadow is larger than the digital information you actively create about yourself."

Enterprise IT organizations that gather the information comprising our digital shadows have a tremendous responsibility -- in many cases mandated by law -- for the security, privacy protection, reliability and legal compliance of this information.

"Society is already feeling the early effects of the world's digital information explosion. Organizations need to plan for the limitless opportunities to use information in new ways and for the challenges of information governance," said Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman, President and CEO. "As people's digital footprints continue growing, so too will the responsibility of organizations for the privacy, protection, availability and reliability of that information. The burden is on IT departments within organizations to address the risks and compliance rules around information misuse, data leakage and safeguarding against security breaches."

Due to its vast size and rapid expansion, both consumers and businesses experience the impact of the digital universe in many profound ways. IDC reports the information explosion creates new complexity for IT organizations charged with managing digital information that is rapidly growing in size and becoming more diverse. Consumers will also struggle with the growth of their own digital information as they attempt to figure out what to do with all the data they're creating.

Other key findings: -- The "Visual" Universe -- the information explosion -- at least in raw gigabytes -- is predominately visual: images, camcorder clips, digital TV signals, and surveillance streams. -- Enterprise Responsibility -- The picture related to the source and governance of digital information remains intact: Approximately 70% of the digital universe is created by individuals, yet enterprises are responsible for the security, privacy, reliability, and compliance of 85%. -- Digital Diversity -- Because of the growth of VoIP, sensors, and RFID, the number of electronic information "containers" -- files, images, packets, tag contents -- is growing 50% faster than the number of gigabytes. The information created in 2011 will be contained in more than 20 quadrillion -- 20 million billion -- of such containers, a tremendous management challenge for both businesses and consumers. -- Information Governance -- To deal with this explosion of the digital universe in size and complexity, organizations will need to spearhead the development of organization-wide policies for information governance: information security, information retention, data access, and compliance. -- Digital Cameras -- In 2007, the number of digital cameras and camera phones in the world surpassed 1 billion, and fewer than 10% of all still images were captured on film. -- Digital Surveillance -- Shipments of networked digital surveillance cameras are doubling every year. -- Share by Industry -- The enterprise share of the digital universe is widely skewed by industry, having little relationship to GDP or IT spending. The finance industry accounts for almost 20% of worldwide IT spending but only 6% of the digital universe. Meanwhile, media, entertainment, and communications industries will account for 10 times their share of the digital universe in 2011 as their share of global GDP. -- "eWaste" an Environmental Concern -- Electronic waste is accumulating at more than 1 billion units a year -- mostly mobile phones, but also personal digital electronics and PCs. The switch to digital TV will place a lot more analog TV sets and obsolete set top boxes and DVDs on the waste pile, which will double by 2011. -- Energy Use Increases -- Power consumption that was 1 kilowatt (kW) per server rack in 2000 is now closer to 10kW. Enterprises building new data centers are planning for 20kW per rack.

EMC and IDC have assembled numerous resources regarding the ongoing research, interaction with and public discussion of the digital universe.

ATA Announces Results for Fiscal Third Quarter 2008

-- Net Revenues Increased by 83.8% Year-Over-Year -- Net Income Increased by 151.5% Year-Over-Year

BEIJING, March 11 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ATA Inc. ("ATA" or the "Company") , the leading provider of computer-based testing and testing-related services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2007 ("Third Quarter 2008"). The Company's 2008 fiscal year ends on March 31, 2008.

Highlights for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 -- Net revenues increased by 83.8% year-over-year to RMB66.7 million (US$9.1 million). -- Gross profit increased by 76.5% year-over-year to RMB45.7 million (US$6.3 million). -- Income from operations increased by 227.3% year-over-year to RMB21.5 million (US$2.9 million). -- Net income increased by 151.5% year-over-year to RMB17.4 million (US$2.4 million), and net income excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses, net (non-GAAP) increased by 183.7% year-over-year to RMB22.1 million (US$3.0 million). -- Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB1.59 (US$0.22) and RMB0.95 (US$0.13), respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non-GAAP) were RMB2.02 (US$0.28) and RMB1.21 (US$0.17), respectively. Each ADS represents two common shares of the Company. -- For the quarter, ATA successfully completed the delivery of 221,006 exams, the second set of tests in calendar 2007 for the China Banking Association, concluding China's initial year launch of large-scale nationwide bankers certification and driving ATA's testing service revenue to increase 242.5% year over year.

"This was a record quarter in the history of ATA, as we experienced substantial growth in net revenues driven by the delivery of a record number of computer-based tests for the financial sector in China," said Kevin Ma, ATA's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to benefit from the large-scale implementation of computer-based testing for the banking, securities and futures industries in China. In addition, the outlook for our business remains promising as we look forward to penetrating other industries and as Chinese regulatory bodies begin to exploit the powerful benefit of computer-based testing from the cost, security and flexibility perspective and work with ATA to deploy large-scale nationwide testing."

ATA's Chief Financial Officer, Carl Yeung, stated, "The third quarter is generally ATA's strongest quarter of the year in terms of net revenues. For the quarter, we saw good results from our management strategy focusing on higher growth and higher margin services. We enjoyed rapid revenue growth in our highest margin services, including test-preparation solutions, as well as the rapid growth in the delivery of tests for the finance sector, including tests administered by the China Banking Association, Securities Association of China and China Futures Association. Due to our unique market position as the only commercial provider of large-scale nationwide testing, we look forward to completing our most successful fiscal year in terms of net revenues and net income in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008."

Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2008

For the third quarter of 2008, ATA reported net revenues of RMB66.7 million (US$9.1 million), representing an 83.8% increase year- over-year. This increase was mainly driven by a 242.5% increase in net revenues from testing services and a 48.0% increase in net revenues from test preparation solutions, while net revenues from test-based educational programs increased by 1.4%.

The overall number of tests delivered declined by 4.4% year-over-year to approximately 970,341 in the third quarter 2008, while the average price per test delivered rose to RMB38.4 in the Third Quarter 2008 from RMB10.7 in the same period of fiscal year 2007. This increase in average revenue per test was due, in part, to a significant increase in the number of higher priced financial industry-related tests delivered.

Gross profit increased by 76.5% year-over-year to RMB45.7 million (US$6.3 million) from RMB25.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin declined to 68.5% in the Third Quarter 2008 from 71.3% in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, driven by lower contribution from the Company's highest gross margin test preparation solutions business as a percentage of net revenue.

Operating expenses increased by 25.3% year-over-year to RMB24.2 million (USS$3.3 million) from RMB19.3 million, primarily due to the increase in sales and marketing expenses to support the rapid growth of the Company's business.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 49.4% year-over-year to RMB8.4 million (US$1.1 million) from RMB5.6 million, primarily due to share-based compensation expense related to the Company's October 2007 option grant, an increase in payroll and welfare expenses as ATA grew sales and marketing staff to 103 at the end of December 2007 from 91 people at the end of December 2006, and agent fees paid to distributors of the Company's educational programs.

General and administrative expenses increased slightly by 4.9% year-over- year to RMB11.5 million (US$1.5 million) from RMB11.0 million, primarily due to share-based compensation expense related to the Company's October 2007 option grant.

Research and development expenses increased by 57.6% year-over-year to RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) from RMB2.7 million, primarily due to increased use of outsourced research and development ("R&D") to prepare pre- occupational training and online test prep solutions and increased bonuses paid to R&D staff.

Income from operations increased by 227.3% year-over-year to RMB21.5 million (US$2.9 million) from RMB6.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Operating margin increased to 32.2% in the Third Quarter 2008 compared to 18.1% for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

ATA's effective tax rate for the third quarter 2008 was 18.1%, slightly higher than ATA's highest statutory tax rate of 15% on any of its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates due to non-tax deductible expenses.

Net income for the third quarter 2008 was RMB17.4 million (US$2.4 million), representing a 151.5% increase from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted earnings per common share amounted to RMB0.79 (US$0.11) and RMB0.48 (US$0.07), respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB1.59 (US$0.22) and RMB0.95 (US$0.13), respectively.

Net Income excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non-GAAP) was RMB22.1 million (US$3.0 million) for the third quarter 2008 compared to RMB7.8 million in the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non- GAAP) were RMB2.02 (US$0.28) and RMB1.21 (US$0.17), respectively.

Cost of revenues and operating expenses included RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) in share-based compensation expense, which was lower than the RMB9.3 (US$1.3 million) million in share-based compensation expenses that the Company estimated it would incur in its prospectus dated January 28, 2008 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

As of December 31, 2007, ATA had cash of RMB44.4 million (US$6.1 million). Net operating cash outflow for the Third Quarter 2008 was RMB38,799 (US$5,320). Capital expenditures for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 were RMB1.8 million (US$0.2 million), mainly for the leasehold decoration for new office and the addition of computers and servers.

Other Operating Data

As of December 31, 2007, ATA had 339 staff, 114 of which were in client service and support, 103 in sales and marketing, 63 in research and development and 59 in general and administrative functions.

As of December 31, 2007, ATA had 1,835 authorized test centers located throughout China.

Fourth Quarter 2008 and Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

For the fiscal fourth quarter 2008, which is generally ATA's slowest quarter in terms of net revenues, ATA forecasts net revenues will be in the range of RMB29 million to RMB31 million, representing year-over-year growth in the range of 79% to 85%, and that ATA will incur a net loss for the quarter, consistent with ATA's disclosure in its prospectus dated January 28, 2008. ATA expects net revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 to be in the range of RMB340 million to RMB350 million, which is expected to represent a 95% to 103% growth over fiscal year 2008. This is ATA's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change. Our results of operations for the fiscal third quarter 2008 are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements

This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "look forward to," "outlook," "forecast," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate" and similar terminology and include, among other things, the Company's anticipated financial and operating results for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Among the factors that could cause the Company's actual financial and operating results to differ from what the Company currently anticipate may include the Company's ability to meet challenges associated with its rapid expansion, the Company's ability to meet the expectations of current and future clients, the Company's ability to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the health of the PRC economy, and uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal and regulatory environments. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's prospectus dated January 28, 2008, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov/. For additional information on these and other important factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, se "Risk Factors" beginning on page 9 of our prospectus. The forward-looking statements in this release involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and the markets in which it operates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, which speak only of the Company's views as of the date of this release, to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that its expectations will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement ATA's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), ATA uses the following measures defined as non- GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and foreign currency exchange losses and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and foreign currency exchange losses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release. ATA believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses and foreign currency exchange losses, which may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. ATA believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to ATA's historical performance and liquidity. ATA computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the consistent method from quarter to quarter. ATA believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses is that share-based compensation charges have been and are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in ATA's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table captioned "Reconciliaitons of Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end this release, has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures used by ATA.

Currency Convenience Translation

The Company's financial information is stated in RMB. The translation of RMB amounts at and for the Third Quarter 2008 into United States dollar ("US$") is included solely for the convenience of the readers and has been made at the rate of RMB7.2946 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of December 31, 2007 in the City of New York for cable transfers in RMB per US dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, today announced that it has acquired Xiam Technologies Limited (Xiam), an Ireland-based pioneer of wireless content targeting solutions. Xiam's My Personal Offers System (MPOS) provides targeting and personalization technology that accelerates discovery and individualizes the user experience by presenting relevant content offers and advertisements to consumers.

Xiam's MPOS technology enables mobile operators and brands to make personalized recommendations to individual consumers that are tailored to their unique tastes and preferences using advanced profiling techniques. Consumers can receive personalized offers of new and relevant content over wireless and Web channels, both before and after purchase. MPOS also leverages demographic, contextual and behavioral profiling to enable true one-to-one mobile advertising. Coupled with the global reach of Qualcomm's ecosystem, MPOS will provide a powerful way for operators and brands to quickly and easily target their customers with relevant content offers and advertisements.

Qualcomm plans to continue to offer MPOS as a standalone product through Xiam as a wholly owned subsidiary, as well as offer the targeting technology as part of its core solutions and products to present operators and brands with powerful subscriber intelligence and personalization tools that help spur wireless data growth.

"Qualcomm's acquisition of Xiam provides us with advanced content discovery and recommendation technology that strengthens Qualcomm's services portfolio," said Andrew Gilbert, executive vice president of Qualcomm and president of Qualcomm Internet Services, MediaFLO Technologies and Qualcomm Europe. "With this acquisition, we are excited to further demonstrate our ongoing commitment to operators, brands and consumers worldwide."

"Qualcomm and Xiam are both committed to helping operators and brands reach their customers more effectively by providing them with the technology to make informed and relevant content recommendations," said Colm Healy, CEO of Xiam. "Qualcomm's suite of solutions and products are designed to help operators and brands deliver a wide range of content quickly and efficiently, and the addition of MPOS will only make that process more intuitive as consumers receive highly personalized offers attuned to their unique interests."

Qualcomm will pay approximately US$32 million for Xiam and estimates the acquisition will be neutral to FY08 earnings per share.

Founded in 2004 and funded with venture capital from Delta Partners and Enterprise Ireland, Xiam is a software company that provides personalized targeting and recommendations technology that enables wireless operators to interact directly with individual customers offering them meaningful, timely and relevant content offers, promotions and advertisements through all wireless channels including WAP, Web and outbound messaging. These individualized offers enable the wireless operator to increase mobile content revenues dramatically, drive discovery of new and relevant products and services, and accurately target customers with meaningful advertisements while enhancing the customer experience and retention.

U.S. Computer Manufacturer to Use Dow Corning Electronics' TC-5121 Thermally Conductive Compound at Facility in ChinaNew Thermally Conductive Compound Continues to Gain Global Market Acceptance

MIDLAND, Mich., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dow Corning Corporation's Electronics and Advanced Technologies group today announced that a U.S.-based personal computer maker has qualified DOW CORNING(R) TC-5121 Thermally Conductive Compound for use in its manufacturing operations in China. This market win for Dow Corning Electronics reflects the continuing global market acceptance of TC-5121 following its introduction in December 2007.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080118/DCELOGO )

TC-5121 offers low thermal resistance at 0.1 degrees C-cm(2)/W and excellent reliability in an easily screen or stencil printable material.

Full-year 2007 non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.77 and $0.68, respectively, which exclude non-cash share-based compensation expenses.

Fourth-quarter 2007 total revenues were $47.7 million and net income was $10.7 million, up 11 and 10 percent, respectively, from the third quarter of 2007. Fourth-quarter non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.21 and $0.19, respectively.

"GigaMedia had a great year - solid execution delivered record revenues, operating income and profit while we continued to invest strongly in our core businesses and develop new business opportunities," stated Chief Executive Officer Arthur Wang. "We made excellent progress building a powerful online entertainment brand in Europe and an enormous pan-Asian online game platform, and closed out the year with strong momentum driving an even stronger 2008."

"We are looking at a great year in 2008, a combination of strong organic growth accelerated by major deals such as the key sponsorship of the World Series of Poker driving growth in Europe," stated CEO Arthur Wang. "And in Asia, we have the honor to partner with the very best like Electronic Arts to bring top online games to our pan-Asian online entertainment platform."

Consolidated Financial Results For the Fourth Quarter GIGAMEDIA 4Q07 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited, 4Q07 4Q06 Change 4Q07 3Q07 Change all figures in (%) (%) US$ thousands, except per share amounts) Revenues 47,708 30,069 59 47,708 43,021 11 Gross Profit 37,592 23,537 60 37,592 33,190 13 Operating Income 9,299 8,032 16 9,299 10,035 -7 GAAP Net Income 10,659 9,875 8 10,659 9,695 10 GAAP Net Income Per Share, Diluted 0.18 0.17 6 0.18 0.16 9 Non-GAAP Net Income (A) 11,329 10,044 13 11,329 10,236 11 Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share, Diluted (A) 0.19 0.17 10 0.19 0.17 10 EBITDA (B) 11,725 11,695 0 11,725 11,246 4 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities-Current 79,917 36,187 121 79,917 71,982 11 (A) Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share exclude non- cash share-based compensation expenses. (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.) (B) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is provided as a supplement to results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.)

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter increased 59 percent to a record $47.7 million from $30.1 million in the same period of 2006, and grew 11 percent from $43.0 million for the third quarter of 2007. Key factors driving the year-over-year improvement were strong organic growth in GigaMedia's poker software and Asian online games businesses, as well as consolidation of T2CN. The sequential quarterly improvements were largely due to continued record-breaking performance in the poker vertical.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter increased 60 percent to $37.6 million from $23.5 million in 2006 and increased 13 percent quarter- over-quarter from $33.2 million, with year-over-year results reflecting revenue increases in the gaming software and Asian online games businesses during the periods, and quarter-over-quarter results reflecting strong growth of the poker software business. Fourth-quarter consolidated gross profit margin was 78.8 percent compared to 78.3 percent a year ago and 77.1 percent in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase reflected a small increase in the gross margin of the online gaming software business and decreased relative contributions from the lower margin, non-core broadband ISP business, which together more than offset an expected margin decrease in the Asian online games business related to increased game licensing and royalty costs.

Consolidated operating income for the fourth quarter grew 16 percent year- over-year to $9.3 million from $8.0 million in 2006 and decreased 7 percent quarter-over-quarter from $10.0 million.

Driving the year-over-year increase in consolidated operating income from continuing operations were increased revenues from the gaming software and Asian online games businesses, which offset declining contributions from the legacy broadband ISP business. Revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease in consolidated operating margin to 19.5 percent from 26.7 percent a year ago. The year-over-year operating margin decrease reflected margin decreases in the gaming software business and the Asian online games business due to increases in selling and marketing expenses in all core business units, growth in product development and engineering expenses in the poker and casino software business, and consolidation and integration of T2CN and increased contributions from licensed games in the Asian online games business.

The quarter-over-quarter decline in consolidated operating income reflected a decline in the company's consolidated operating margin to 19.5 percent in the fourth quarter from 23.3 percent in the previous quarter, which offset revenue growth during the fourth quarter. The sequential decline in consolidated operating margin was largely due to the increase in advertising and marketing activities in the gaming software business and reflected the beneficial impact of lower product development and engineering expenses from the termination of a licensing agreement in the Asian online games business in the third quarter of 2007. (See "Business Unit Results," for more details.)

Consolidated net income for the quarter increased 8 percent to $10.7 million from $9.9 million in 2006, and grew by 10 percent from the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to the aforementioned increase in operating income, which was partially offset by a decline in non-operating income. The quarter-over-quarter increase reflected the aforementioned factors impacting operating income in the fourth quarter, and the net impact of lower non-operating income, the benefit of a minority interest loss, and income tax benefits in the period.

GigaMedia also reports non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP consolidated operating income, non-GAAP consolidated net income, non-GAAP basic and fully-diluted earnings per share, and consolidated EBITDA. The non- GAAP measures are described below and reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures are included at the end of this release. (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.)

Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, non-GAAP consolidated net income, and non-GAAP basic and fully-diluted earnings per share all exclude non-cash share-based compensation charges. Fourth-quarter non-cash share-based compensation charges were $709 thousand, up from $574 thousand in the third quarter.

Non-GAAP consolidated operating income was $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, up 22 percent year-over-year and down 6 percent quarter-over- quarter. Non-GAAP consolidated net income in the fourth quarter was $11.3 million, representing an increase of 13 percent over the same period last year and an 11 percent increase over the third quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP basic earnings per share were $0.21, an 8 percent increase from 2006 and an increase of 10 percent quarter-over-quarter. Non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share were $0.19, a 10 percent increase from the same period last year and up 10 percent compared with the third quarter.

Consolidated EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2007 held at $11.7 million versus the same period last year, and was up 4 percent from the third quarter of 2007. Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $13.3 million. Capital expenditures totaled $3.7 million for the period.

GigaMedia continued to maintain a robust balance sheet at year end. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities-current totaled $79.9 million, up from $72.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2007. Total loans amounted to $33.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007.

For the Full Year 2007 GIGAMEDIA FY07 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS (all figures in US$ FY07(unaudited) FY06(audited) Change(%) thousands, except per share amounts) Revenues 166,878 94,292 77 Gross Profit 131,333 70,961 85 Operating Income 38,091 21,964 73 GAAP Net Income 38,890 30,784 26 GAAP Net Income Per Share, Diluted 0.65 0.51 27 Non-GAAP Net Income 40,646 31,094 31 Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share, Diluted 0.68 0.51 32 EBITDA 44,255 37,958 17 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities-Current 79,917 36,187 121

Consolidated revenues for 2007 increased 77 percent to a record $166.9 million from $94.3 million in 2006, driven by 116 percent growth in GigaMedia's gaming software business and 75 percent growth in the company's Asian online games business.

Consolidated gross profit for 2007 increased 85 percent to $131.3 million from $71.0 million in 2006, reflecting sharp revenue increases in the gaming software and Asian online games businesses during the period. Consolidated gross profit margin grew to 78.7 percent in 2007 from 75.3 percent in 2006 as a result of an increased gross margin in the gaming software business and decreased relative contributions from the legacy broadband ISP business, which more than offset a decline in the gross margin of the Asian online games business during the period related to an increase in game licensing and royalty costs.

Consolidated operating income for 2007 grew 73 percent to a record $38.1 million from $22.0 million in 2006. Driving the increase in consolidated operating income were increased revenues from the gaming software and Asian online games businesses, which offset declining contributions from the legacy broadband ISP business during 2007. Results also benefited from an increase in the operating margin of GigaMedia's gaming software business to 31.7 percent from 30.5 percent, which partially offset declines in the operating margins of the Asian online games business and the legacy broadband ISP business.

Consolidated net income for 2007 increased 26 percent to a record $38.9 million from $30.8 million in 2006, and grew 63 percent after deduction of a one-time after-tax gain of approximately $7.0 million recorded in 2006 from the sale of the company's ADSL business.

Non-GAAP measures reported by the Company for 2007 are described below and reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures are included at the end of this release. (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.)

Non-GAAP consolidated operating income was $40.0 million in 2007, up 79 percent from 2006. Non-GAAP consolidated net income in 2007 was $40.6 million, representing an increase of 31 percent over 2006. Non-GAAP basic earnings per share in 2007 were $0.77, a 26 percent increase from 2006. Non-GAAP fully- diluted earnings per share were $0.68, a 32 percent increase from a year ago.

Consolidated EBITDA for 2007 was $44.3 million, up 17 percent from a year ago. Operating cash flow for 2007 was $53.5 million. Capital expenditures totaled $9.8 million for 2007.

Gaming Software Business (unaudited, in US$ FY07 FY06 4Q07 4Q06 3Q07 thousands) Revenues 118,950 55,019 34,159 19,803 29,300 Gross Profit 102,750 47,195 29,734 16,978 25,170 Operating Income 37,703 16,772 9,818 6,006 9,533 Net Income Before Minority Interests 37,858 16,529 10,561 5,896 9,488 Net Income 37,510 16,209 10,871 5,889 9,130 EBITDA 38,631 17,942 10,859 6,461 9,483

The gaming software business delivered outstanding performance in 2007, with strong organic growth in the company's poker software business driving record revenues and net income. Fourth-quarter results benefited from year-end seasonality, with revenues in the poker software business climbing 21 percent quarter-over-quarter and continuing to grow strongly into 2008. (See, "Business Outlook," for more details.)

For the Fourth Quarter

Fourth-quarter revenues in the gaming software business increased 73 percent year-over-year to $34.2 million from $19.8 million and by 17 percent quarter-over-quarter from $29.3 million.

GigaMedia's revenues from the gaming software business derived from providing poker and casino software and services to its master licensee were $15.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2007. This represented an increase of 66 percent from $9.5 million in 2006 and a 22 percent increase from the third quarter of 2007, which totaled $13.0 million. Such revenues are eliminated in consolidation.

Driving this performance was record revenue growth in GigaMedia's poker software business resulting from continued strong growth in real-money players on Everest Poker. Results also benefited from strong year-over-year growth in the casino software business.

Revenues in the poker software vertical were $26.8 million, up 107 percent from the same year-ago period and up 21 percent from the previous quarter. Poker software represented 78 percent of the business unit's total fourth- quarter 2007 revenues. Approximately 182,000 active depositing real-money customers played on the poker platform during the fourth quarter, up 12 percent from the previous quarter. During the quarter, approximately 57,000 new depositing real-money poker players were added, up 11 percent quarter- over-quarter.

The casino software business also continued to deliver strong profitability. Revenues in the casino software vertical were $7.4 million during the fourth quarter. This represented a 7 percent increase from the same period in 2006 and an increase of 2 percent from the previous quarter.

Fourth-quarter gross profit grew 75 percent to $29.7 million from $17.0 million in 2006 and was up 18 percent from $25.2 million in the third quarter, reflecting strong revenue growth over the year period and a seasonal upturn in the industry during the fourth quarter resulting in higher revenues. Gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 87.0 percent versus 85.7 percent in 2006 and 85.9 percent in the preceding quarter.

Total fourth-quarter selling and marketing expenses were $16.5 million, up 87 percent from $8.8 million in 2006 and up 44 percent quarter-over-quarter from $11.4 million, with the period increases reflecting increases in mass media promotions and payments to marketing affiliates as a result of strong revenue growth.

Operating income grew 63 percent to $9.8 million from $6.0 million in 2006 and by 3 percent quarter-over-quarter from $9.5 million. Operating margin declined to 28.7 percent from 32.5 percent in the previous quarter as selling and marketing expenses increased at a rate higher than that of revenue growth, reflecting continued strong reinvestment in the business to exploit attractive market opportunities during the seasonally strong winter months and drive continued strong growth in 2008.

Net income rose 85 percent to $10.9 million from $5.9 million in 2006 and by 19 percent sequentially from $9.1 million in the third quarter. EBITDA increased 68 percent year-over-year and grew 15 percent from the third quarter of 2007 to $10.9 million from $9.5 million. Capital expenditure totaled approximately $1.4 million for the fourth quarter.

For the Full Year 2007

Total revenues for 2007 jumped 116 percent to $119.0 million from $55.0 million in 2006, with poker software revenues climbing by 190 percent to $89.7 million from $30.9 million, and casino software revenues increasing 20 percent to $29.0 million from $24.1 million. Operating income increased 125 percent to $37.7 million in 2007 from $16.8 million in 2006, due to strong organic revenue growth and an increase in operating margin to 31.7 percent from 30.5 percent year-over-year. Net income for 2007 grew 131 percent to $37.5 million from $16.2 million in 2006. EBITDA grew 115 percent to $38.6 million from $17.9 million in 2006. Capital expenditure totaled approximately $4.4 million for 2007.

Everest Poker was awarded Poker Operation of the Year for 2007 by industry journal eGaming Review.

Asian Online Games Business (unaudited, in US$ FY07 FY06 4Q07 4Q06 3Q07 thousands) Revenues 32,764 18,691 10,074 5,252 10,028 Gross Profit 23,603 14,920 6,847 4,132 6,920 Operating Income 6,688 5,513 1,219 1,842 2,341 Net Income Before Minority Interests 8,132 5,497 1,138 1,815 3,818 Net Income 7,199 5,497 1,298 1,815 2,592 EBITDA 9,537 7,259 2,058 2,286 3,246

The Asian online games business delivered solid performance in 2007 as GigaMedia continued to build out its leading pan-Asian platform.

During 2007, the company strengthened its position as a leader in Asia, growing its regional footprint significantly, enhancing its game portfolio by licensing expected hit titles targeting a full-range of gamers, and adding to its ability to source hot games through investments in leading game development studios. The business enters 2008 well-positioned to leverage its massive regional reach and grow profit significantly.

For the Fourth Quarter

Fourth-quarter revenues in the Asian online games business increased 92 percent to $10.1 million from $5.3 million a year ago and were comparable with the previous quarter. Organic growth of FunTown in Taiwan and Hong Kong and the consolidation of T2CN in China drove the year-over-year improvement.

Fourth-quarter revenues from FunTown grew 16 percent to $6.1 million from $5.3 million in 2006 and declined 1 percent from $6.2 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year revenue growth was driven largely by strong contributions from the advanced casual game Tales Runner. Average monthly active paying accounts were approximately 117,000 during the fourth quarter, down 4 percent from the third quarter, and average monthly revenue per active paying account was $17.43 during the period, up 3 percent quarter-over- quarter. Peak concurrent users were approximately 49,000, a decrease of 4 percent from the third quarter.

During the fourth quarter, GigaMedia continued to build out and integrate its China platform, T2CN. Total net revenues for T2CN in the period were $4.0 million, up 2 percent from $3.9 million in the third quarter as a result of increased revenue from FreeStyle. Average monthly active paying accounts were approximately 360,000 during the fourth quarter, comparable with the third quarter, and average monthly revenue per active paying account was $3.45 during the period, up 8 percent quarter-over-quarter. Peak concurrent users of T2CN's popular online basketball game, FreeStyle, were approximately 173,000, an increase of 42 percent from the third quarter, with growth driven by the addition of new content and new promotional activities for the game during the period.

Fourth-quarter gross profit grew 66 percent to $6.8 million from $4.1 million in 2006 and decreased by 1 percent sequentially from $6.9 million, with the year-on-year results reflecting strong revenue growth in FunTown during 2007 and contributions from T2CN, and the quarterly sequential results in line with revenues in the period. Gross profit margin decreased to 68.0 percent from 78.7 percent in 2006 and from 69.0 percent in the preceding quarter, with the year-over-year decline reflecting an increase in revenue contributions from licensed games that have lower margins than self-developed games.

Total selling and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter grew 122 percent to $2.9 million from $1.3 million in 2006 and were comparable with the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was due to increased mass media marketing of FunTown's game products and services during the period, as well as consolidation of T2CN and overall increased headcount and personnel expenses related to expansion of the Asian online games business.

Operating income declined 34 percent from the same period in 2006 to $1.2 million from $1.8 million, and decreased 48 percent from the previous quarter. Year-over-year results reflected the aforementioned decrease in gross margin and an increase in selling and marketing expenses, as well as higher general and administrative expenses related to expansion and integration of the Asian online business, which more than offset revenue growth during the period. The quarter-over-quarter variation was largely attributable to the beneficial impact of lower product development and engineering expenses from the termination of a licensing agreement on T2CN's results in the third quarter of 2007.

Fourth-quarter operating margin decreased to 12.1 percent from 35.1 percent in 2006 and from 23.3 percent in the previous quarter.

Net income declined by 29 percent to $1.3 million from $1.8 million in 2006 and by 50 percent sequentially from $2.6 million in the third quarter. The declines were due to the aforementioned factors impacting operating income. The quarterly sequential decline was also related to a quarter-over- quarter decrease in non-operating income, primarily reflecting the impact of non-operating gains from the cancellation of preferred share warrants and the termination of a licensing agreement at T2CN in the third quarter of 2007, partially offset by the benefit of a lower fourth-quarter minority interest income deduction.

EBITDA decreased 10 percent from the fourth quarter of 2006 to $2.1 million from $2.3 million and declined 37 percent from $3.2 million in the third quarter. Capital expenditure totaled approximately $663 thousand for the fourth quarter.

For the Full Year 2007

Total revenues for 2007 jumped 75 percent to a record $32.8 million from $18.7 million in 2006, with FunTown's revenues climbing 27 percent to $23.8 million and T2CN contributing revenues of approximately $9.0 million. Operating income increased 21 percent to a record $6.7 million from $5.5 million in 2006, due to strong organic revenue growth in FunTown and contributions from T2CN, partially offset by a decline in operating margin to 20.4 percent from 29.5 percent a year ago. Net income for 2007 grew 31 percent to a record $7.2 million from $5.5 million a year ago. EBITDA grew 31 percent to $9.5 million from $7.3 million in 2006. Capital expenditure totaled approximately $3.0 million for 2007.

Other Business -- Legacy Broadband ISP Business (unaudited, in US$ FY07 FY06 4Q07 4Q06 3Q07 thousands) Revenues 15,208 20,686 3,492 5,022 3,705 Gross profit 4,982 8,847 956 2,427 1,142 Operating Income (Loss) 715 4,290 (107) 1,316 24 Net Income (Loss) 1,156 13,037 40 3,221 6 EBITDA 2,834 16,757 271 4,073 401

In the fourth quarter of 2007, revenues were $3.5 million. Revenues during the period decreased 30 percent year-over-year and 6 percent quarter-over- quarter, primarily due to decreases in fees derived from bandwidth, consulting and support services related to the disposal of the ADSL business in 2006 and a continued decline in the consumer ISP business.

Operating income decreased from $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $24 thousand in the third quarter of 2007 to a loss of $107 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2007. The declines were largely due to the aforementioned decreases in revenues.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased from $3.2 million in 2006 and increased from $6 thousand in the third quarter to $40 thousand. The year-over-year variation reflected the aforementioned factors impacting operating income, as well as a non-operating gain of approximately $2.1 million related to a disposal gain on marketable securities recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Total revenues for 2007 declined to $15.2 million from $20.7 million in 2006. Total operating income for 2007 decreased to $715 thousand from $4.3 million in 2006, primarily due to reduced revenues and operating margins. Total net income for 2007 decreased to $1.2 million from $13.0 million in 2006. The year-over-year variance in net income was due mainly to the aforementioned operating income decrease and certain non-operating gains recorded in 2006.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of March 11, 2008. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of broadband and online entertainment software, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2006 Annual Report or 20-F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

Gaming software business. GigaMedia expects continued strong revenue growth in its gaming software business in 2008 accompanied by continued strong investment to expand product offerings and strengthen the Everest brand. For the first two months of 2008, average net daily revenue was up approximately 12 percent over that achieved in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Asian online games business. The company expects revenues to climb sharply in 2008, driven by major new game launches, strong subscriber growth, and regional expansion of GigaMedia's pan-Asian platform, accompanied by continued strong investment to grow the business. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, GigaMedia expects major new game launches to include NBA Street Online, Holic and Hellgate: London in the second half of 2008. In China, GigaMedia expects to launch Holic in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the first two months of 2008, the business unit has recorded a significant increase in player activities compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.

Broadband ISP business. GigaMedia has retained financial advisors to assist with potential disposal of this legacy business unit and remains in discussions with identified buyers concerning potential sale of the business.

This outlook reflects GigaMedia's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following measures defined as non- GAAP by the SEC: EBITDA, and US GAAP operating income, net income and basic and fully-diluted earnings per share data adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

GigaMedia believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding GigaMedia's performance by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of the company's operating performance. Effective January 1, 2006, GigaMedia adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) ("SFAS 123(R)") regarding the expensing of share-based compensation. The company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP operating income, net income, and basic and fully- diluted earnings per share enables more meaningful comparisons of performances across periods to be made by excluding the effect of SFAS 123(R), and that EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. GigaMedia believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. GigaMedia believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and basic and fully-diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expenses is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a recurring expense in the company's business. A limitation of using EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income for the period. In addition, EBITDA as defined by GigaMedia may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations of the adjusted income statement data to GigaMedia's US GAAP income statement data are provided on the attached unaudited financial statements.

About the Numbers in This Release Full-year and quarterly figures

All 2007 figures and all 2006 quarterly figures referred to in the text, tables and attachments to this release are unaudited; all full-year 2006 amounts are audited. The financial statements from which the financial results reported in this press release are derived have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and are presented in U.S. dollars. Consolidated financial results for the third and fourth quarters of 2007 benefited from GigaMedia's investment in T2CN. GigaMedia increased its total equity ownership of T2CN to approximately 58 percent in July 2007 and began to consolidate T2CN financial results with those of the Company in June 2007. As a result, consolidated financial results for the third and fourth quarters of 2007 and full-year 2007 may not be comparable with other periods.

Segmental results

GigaMedia's segmental financial results are based on the Company's method of internal reporting and are not necessarily in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Consolidated quarterly and/or annual financial results of the Company may differ from totals of the Company's segmental financial results for the same period due to (1) the impact of certain of the Company's headquarters costs and expenses, which are not reflected in the business segment results, (2) the impact of certain non- operating subsidiaries of GigaMedia on the Company's consolidated financial results, and (3) certain inter-company eliminations.

Trimble Demonstrates the Connected Community and Interactive Real-Time Communication for Construction ContractorsTrimble Connected Site Solutions Allow Greater Communication Between Construction Stakeholders

LAS VEGAS, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble announced today that it will demonstrate its new Trimble Connected Community, a Web-based set of networking tools for heavy and highway construction contractors to connect with internal and external partners and clients. As part of the Trimble Connected Site(TM) portfolio of construction solutions, the Trimble Connected Community allows contractors to build information portals, share information and collaborate between head office management, site office teams, field crews, subcontractors, suppliers, engineers and clients on a project.

The live demonstrations will be held at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2008, one of the world's largest international exhibitions for construction and construction materials industries. Trimble will be located in the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall #S-17411 and in the Silver Lot #S-890.

In both indoor and outdoor settings, the demonstrations will feature four crucial Connected Site workflows on the modern construction job site by showing how two-way data transfer and real-time communications increase productivity for site positioning, grade control, asset management, and the Trimble Connected Community.

-- Connecting Site Positioning Systems - demonstration of real-time, two-way data flow between the office and GPS or total station positioning systems. By eliminating trips back to the office to retrieve or download the latest design and work order data, the process is streamlined and enables field crews to have the most up-to-date information, reducing downtime and making field crews more efficient and productive. -- Connecting Grade Control Systems - demonstration of the productivity improvements from real-time, two-way data for grade control systems, which creates an intelligent "live" link between the machines and the office. The live link enables contractors to rapidly send up-to-date design information to the cab eliminating time consuming trips to site and reducing errors associated with use of incorrect or out-of-date site models. Two-way data also allows the equipment manager to monitor the location and activity of each machine and to retrieve as graded and compaction data from the machines to monitor site production volumes and compaction performance. -- Connecting Equipment and Mobile Assets - demonstration of the Trimble Construction Manager solution, which combines GPS and wireless communications to enable contractors to connect to their assets on heavy and highway projects. Using an Internet-enabled interface, the contractor can see the status of each piece of equipment on their construction sites--live in the office. This powerful solution allows the contractor to monitor and report cycle times, delivery status, equipment productivity and utilization, machine run time and idle-time hours, and fuel consumption to maximize their equipment fleet and improve their operations by lowering costs, improving project cost reporting and reducing project risk. -- Connecting a Community - demonstration of the Trimble Connected Community. Using Web communication technologies, contractors can integrate head office, site office and field crew operations into a communication portal that can be accessed by construction project stakeholders. In addition, a contractor can extend their user community to include engineers, subcontractors, suppliers and the owners of their projects. The Connected Community can provide insight into project operations, head office activities, and provide a collaboration site that allows efficient sharing of information and rapid resolution of site problems and requests for information. The collaborative environment leverages information resources, promotes efficiencies, and reduces delays associated with communicating and sharing information with multiple stakeholders on the construction site.

Trimble Introduces Real-time Material Density Information for Earthworks CompactionNew Functionality Provides Consistent Material Compaction Over the Entire Construction Project

LAS VEGAS, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble today introduced the new Trimble CM310 Compaction Sensor that enables the display of real-time material density to the earthworks compactor operator. This new capability can increase machine productivity while providing complete, consistent material compaction over the entire construction project. Material surfaces can be compacted faster with better in-place densities-improving the efficiency of other earthworks operations, such as optimization of haul truck times and improved water drainage and management.

The announcement was made today at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2008, one of the world's largest international exhibitions for construction and the construction materials industries. Trimble will be located in the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall #S-17411 and in the Silver Lot #S-890.

Using the Trimble(R) CCS900 Compaction Control System with the new sensor, the contractor can better control the compaction process, making operations more efficient and productive. Now, the contractor can compact sub-surface material to a target density and number of machine passes, analyze sub-surface grade post-compaction for deficiencies in the surface (whether certain locations are high, low or on grade), and catch grade control mistakes in real-time, prior to the start of the final road building process.

Early detection of sub-surface material anomalies means that soft spots and hidden obstructions can be excavated and re-graded or compacted prior to the more costly phases of the construction process. Improved efficiency is accomplished by reducing unnecessary passes that might result in over compaction. Under compacted areas can be detected in the field, avoiding the need to return later and compact the area again.

The new real-time data feedback in the Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System reinforces Trimble's leadership in providing the broadest portfolio of solutions for the heavy and highway contractor. The CCS900 system offers the same rugged durability and reliability standards that are customary of Trimble heavy construction positioning equipment. It can be installed on any single drum soil compactor with open or enclosed cab without fear of component failure or damage.

The Trimble CM310 Compaction Sensor for the Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System is expected to be available in April 2008 through the Trimble worldwide distributor network.

With this new two- way data capability, field crews are more connected to the office than ever before.

The addition of two-way data transfer in SCS900 Site Controller Software reinforces Trimble's leadership in providing the broadest portfolio of connected site solutions for the heavy and highway contractor.

With the Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software version 2.33, engineers can email design changes or work orders to contractors and crews in the field. Likewise, the contractor can transfer progress reports, on-site problems, and as-built data back to the office on completion of on site operations. Contractors can realize significant savings by eliminating the time and cost of physically driving data updates to and from the field. Using the two-way data capability reduces delays and re-work associated with using outdated information and synching data only at the end of the work day. Reduced delays and re-work increase the likelihood that projects finish on time and under budget.

The Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software operates on the Trimble TSC2(TM) or TCU hand-held controller. Using total station or the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the software is designed to simplify construction operations, increase efficiency in the field, and minimize downtime. The Trimble SCS900 software can be used at every stage of a heavy and highway construction project to:

-- Perform initial site measurement and verification of original ground levels -- Measure site features -- Check finished grade and laid material thickness -- Topo site or material stockpiles and compute volumes -- Stake out points, lines, alignments, planes, surfaces, complex roadways, side slopes, and catch points -- Carry out as-built site measurements

Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software v2.33 is expected to be available as a software download from the http://www.trimble.com/ website before the end of March.
