Lighting Science Group and Tech Lighting to Create and Market New Line of LED Lighting Solutions

NEW YORK and CHICAGO, March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lighting Science Group Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: LSCG) , a global leader in energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting solutions, entered into a development and marketing agreement with Tech Lighting, a Generation Brands Company, to launch a full line of LED-based lighting products.

Lighting Science Group will integrate its patented LED technology into Tech Lighting's light fixtures for both residential and commercial use. Equipped with Lighting Science Group's LED technology, the energy used by the Tech Lighting fixtures will be significantly reduced over traditional sources. For example, a 35-watt bulb will be replaced by a mere 6-watt LED module with equivalent light output. The LED fixtures will operate for as long as 25,000 hours -- or up to 10 years -- in normal residential usage and pay for themselves within two years.

"Lighting Science approached Tech Lighting to develop a LED product line because we knew it was a prime opportunity to partner with a lighting industry leader," said Govi Rao, CEO of Lighting Science Group. "Tech Lighting's innovative high-quality product portfolio is an ideal platform for us to launch a new line of breakthrough LED products. From both an environmental and performance perspective, LED based solutions provide a superior alternative to traditional incandescent and halogen lighting systems."

LED light sources surpass both compact fluorescent and incandescent variations in energy efficiency, life span and environmental impact. LEDs consume up to 80 percent less energy than traditional incandescent sources and as much as 50 percent less energy than compact fluorescent bulbs. This efficiency translates into a significant reduction in energy costs for the end user. LED based lighting solutions lower our carbon footprint relative to traditional light sources like incandescent and fluorescents, as they do not contain hazardous materials like Mercury and have a higher recyclable content.

Steve Harriott, president of Encompass Lighting Group, said, "Prior to this agreement, Tech Lighting offered a full range of lighting options for commercial, residential and industrial applications, but had yet to offer a suite of LED solutions. We have spent the past four years researching the progress of LEDs and its potential to integrate into our product mix. As a result of that research we can now move forward, confident that our entry into LEDs will effectively meet the high standards of our customers. We partnered with Lighting Science Group because we felt they could lead us to an LED lighting system that meets our stringent requirements -- its truly LED without compromise."

The Tech Lighting line of LED lighting solutions powered by Lighting Science will be first displayed at the Light and Build Show in Frankfurt, Germany (April 6-8, 2008 stand J80 in Hall 4.2), and formally launched in North America at Lightfair International (May 28-30, 2008 booth #937). Products will be sold through the extensive Tech Lighting network of lighting reps and electrical wholesalers.

China Ritar Announces Completion of Phase 1 of New Technical and Manufacturing Complex in Hengyang

SHENZHEN, China, March 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Ritar Power Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: CRTP) ("the Company" or "China Ritar"), has announced that construction of the first phase of its new technical and manufacturing complex in Hengyang City, Hunan Province has been completed and lead acid battery production will begin in April of this year.

The new facility will increase China Ritar's production capacity for lead acid batteries by 100% by the end of 2008. In addition, in the second quarter of 2008, production of lead plates will begin at the Hengyang facility. Lead plates comprise approximately 85% of the cost of lead acid batteries. It is expected that vertically integrating the production of lead plates will provide an approximate 3%-6% improvement in gross margins for the Company in the long-term.

China Ritar's new technical and manufacturing complex is strategically located near lead mining reserves in Shuikou Shan, Hunan which will allow the Company to more readily secure a long-term supply of lead for its batteries. The total area of the Hengyang complex is approximately 266,667 square meters. Approximately 46,000 square meters of factory space has already been constructed. Plans call for another 40,000-60,000 square meters of factory space to be constructed during the second phase over the next three years which will be allocated to both lead acid battery and lead plate production. Upon completion of Phase 2 construction, China Ritar's battery production capacity is expected to have roughly quadrupled as compared to 2007 levels and lead plate capacity will reach 45,000 tons per year, which is expected to be sufficient to provide lead plates for approximately 50%-60% of China Ritar's batteries.

The Company invested approximately $15.5 million to complete the first phase, of which $10.7 million came from funds raised through the Company's private placement financing in February, 2007 and the remaining $4.8 million came from internally generated funds. The second phase is expected to require $18.5 million which the Company plans to finance using internally generated funds and bank loans.

"We are very excited to be initiating production in Hengyang," said Mr. Jiada Hu, Chief Executive Officer of China Ritar. "Due to the quality of our batteries and the high growth rate of the markets we serve, demand for our batteries is increasing and the Hengyang facility will enable us to seize the growth opportunity that lies ahead. In addition, lower manufacturing costs in Hengyang, our proximity to a reliable source of lead, and the improved manufacturing technology we are utilizing in Hengyang, will contribute to the increased efficiency of our operation and continued quality and cost- competitiveness of our batteries. Lastly, we are confident that our expansion into lead plate manufacturing will enhance our bottom-line and stabilize our operations by giving us more control over the overall battery-making process. We are pleased to enhance our operational infrastructure with the continued build out of our Hengyang facility and believe we are building a solid foundation for future growth."

CSC's Ron Dick to Deliver Keynote on Critical Infrastructure Protection at Next Generation Utilities SummitDoug Neal to Lead Workshop Discussion on Green IT

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Sciences Corporation announced today that Ron Dick, director of CSC's Homeland Security Programs and former director of the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center, will be a keynote speaker at the Next Generation Utilities Summit 2008 to be held March 24-26 in Austin, Texas. In addition, Doug Neal, research fellow with CSC's Leading Edge Forum Executive Programme, will lead a workshop discussion on green information technology (IT). The summit will address key challenges facing North American and European electric utilities.

Dick will describe how breaches in critical infrastructure present opportunities for material consequences that are extremely expensive, dangerous, irreversible and publicly damaging. He will also explain why traditional cyber or network security protections are no longer sufficient and will discuss ways to assess and enhance risk management efforts. His presentation will cover several examples, including the CIA's recent reports of cyber attacks that knocked out power in multiple cities outside the U.S. and were followed by extortion demands, and the August 2003 New York power outage that became a multi-state crisis due to weaknesses in the nation's grid control systems.

Neal will lead the discussion for the alternative energy issues workshop entitled: "Green IT: Moving Beyond the 2% Solution." He will talk about how studies have shown that eliminating computing power-consumption issues would address only two percent of the energy problem. Neal will offer a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities of green IT. He recently completed a study tour on the topic and has collaborated with Yale Professor Dan Esty, author of Green to Gold.

"We are pleased to lend our support to this key summit," said Lem Lasher, president of CSC's Global Business Solutions and Services organization. "CSC has nearly 15 years of experience in the energy industry, and both Ron and Doug are extremely knowledgeable about these topics. We look forward to sharing ideas and working with our colleagues toward collaborative solutions to the industry's most pressing concerns."

Dick joined CSC after 25 years of distinguished service to the FBI. He most recently served as director of the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) and deputy assistant director. As director of the NIPC, he was responsible for the detection, assessment and warning of all cyber and physical threats to the critical infrastructures of the United States. As deputy assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, he was responsible for developing and executing the FBI's domestic and international cyber investigative strategy and overseeing related efforts in response to criminal, terrorist and nation-sponsored threats against the U.S. government and private industry.

Neal is responsible for research into "Innovating through Technology." His current areas of focus are: leveraging the growing technical sophistication of employees; exploring ways global businesses can collaborate; and how green IT can address the 98% energy issue. His recent published projects have included: Harnessing Web 2.0 -- Enterprise Strategies for Living on the Web, the Consumerization of IT, Developing Employee Responsibility and Trust, the Use and Misuse of Collaborative Technologies and Business Process Management. Prior to joining CSC, Neal worked at two international management consulting firms.

CSC, which has supported the energy industry since 1994, provides a full spectrum of IT services, including management consulting, systems design and integration, applications development and maintenance, and infrastructure outsourcing. Clients include Arizona Public Services Co., Direct Energy (formerly Entergy Solutions), National Grid, Pinnacle West Corp., Reliant Energy Inc., SCANA Corp., Sempra Energy and Southern California Edison.

Harris Corporation Awarded Contract to Develop National Health Information Exchange Gateway for Sharing Patient RecordsCompany's Enterprise Intelligence Approach Applied to Healthcare IT in Support of Federal Agencies and Healthcare Providers Will Improve Quality of Care While Reducing Costs

FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation , an international communications and information technology company, has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop and integrate an open-source, National Health Information Exchange Gateway solution. The Gateway, part of the larger National Health Information Network initiative, will enable federal healthcare agencies and healthcare providers to more quickly and easily share patient information -- improving the quality of care and reducing costs.

Initially, the Gateway will connect government healthcare providers within the Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, Social Security Administration, and Indian Health Service to provide access and exchange of vital patient medical records. The second phase of the Gateway deployment will move the core components into the public domain, essentially creating a World Wide Web for healthcare information exchange among providers of all specialties and sizes.

Under the contract, Harris will provide the Gateway Core Services, customized software that can be easily downloaded by providers to quickly enable connection to the National Health Information Network; and a Software Development Kit which enables providers to customize the Gateway while connected to the network.

"Too many people die in the U.S. each year as a result of medical errors, and more than 30 percent of today's crippling healthcare costs are tied to overhead activities such as moving paperwork around," said Jim Traficant, vice president of Harris Healthcare Solutions. "The Gateway offers the next generation of capabilities in providing immediate access to vital medical information. It will be a valuable tool for saving lives and reducing costs by sharing and managing information."

The Gateway will integrate and reuse technology based on the Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid used by the National Cancer Institute and the Bi- directional Health Information Exchange that currently provides for medical information exchange between the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. To provide the government with the lowest risk solution, Harris teamed with Agilex, Inc. and ScenPro, Inc. -- recognized experts on technologies used in these programs.

Harris Healthcare Solutions provides enterprise intelligence solutions and services for commercial and government customers, including systems integration, intelligent infrastructure, advanced visualization and display, enterprise digital content management, and IT services solutions. Harris products, systems, and services improve health outcomes by assuring that critical medical information is delivered with security and privacy to the right person, on the right device, at the point of care.

About Harris Corporation

Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries. Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the company has annual revenue of almost $5 billion and 16,000 employees -- including nearly 7,000 engineers and scientists.

Avistar Regains Compliance with NASDAQ Listing Standards

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avistar Communications Corporation has received notification from the NASDAQ Hearings Panel that it has regained compliance with the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, and will continue to be listed on the market. The determination of the Panel, which is subject to an additional compliance monitoring period through June 1, 2008, follows a presentation by the Company to the Panel on January 24.

"The NASDAQ Panel's determination is reflective of the activities that are underway in our business," said Simon Moss, who became the company's Chief Executive Officer on January 1 of this year. "The company's recent initiatives in expanding its customer base, refocusing its valuable patent portfolio and restructuring its costs are expected to build real value in the Company."

Mr. Moss noted that the strategies now being executed are directed at making progress on a number of fronts, as the Company focuses on a Unified Communications market that Wainhouse Research predicts will reach $16.5 billion in annual sales by 2012.

Specific milestones at the Company include: -- significant change in the senior management team that now includes seasoned individuals in the CEO, Global Sales and Chief Marketing Officer executive positions --with all three individuals having been colleagues from a previous "turnaround" success -- significant reduction of corporate-wide costs -- the launch of an expanded product portfolio, engineered to provide unique and patented capabilities that will be fundamental to the emerging Unified Communications market -- the diversification in go-to-market, partnering, technology licensing and distribution strategies -- a financing round in January 2008 of $7 million in convertible debt, led by Leucadia National Corporation -- an appraisal last year by Ocean Tomo, LLC, a leading appraisal and services firm with specialized expertise in valuing patents, providing Avistar with an analysis indicating that, subject to certain assumptions, the potential net present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual property was between $350 million and $500 million.

"The effect of these and other actions have combined to support Avistar's value in the marketplace," said Robert Habig, Avistar's Chief Financial Officer. "Although challenges remain, including Microsoft's recent action designed to test our patent portfolio, we now believe we have the time to address these challenges and prosper. We thank the NASDAQ Panel for this vote of confidence, and we intend to make the most of it."

As previously reported, in November 2007, Avistar received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market that Avistar did not comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2), which requires listed companies, among other criteria, to have a minimum of $35 million in market value of listed securities. Avistar was granted a 30 calendar day period in which to regain compliance, but was unable to do so. Avistar appealed the NASDAQ Staff's determination to the Listing Qualifications Panel in a presentation to the Panel conducted on January 24, 2008. The Panel's positive determination follows that appeal, and was communicated to the Company on Wednesday, March 19, 2008.

In its determination, the Panel noted that if at any time before June 1, 2008, the market value of the Company's securities falls below the required minimum of $35 million for 30 consecutive trading days, the Panel will promptly conduct a hearing with respect to such failure and the Company's securities would be subject to immediate delisting. Failure to comply with any other requirement would be subject to standard notice, hearing and restoration periods.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements made in this news release that are not purely historical, including but not limited to statements regarding the impact of the Company's recent initiatives on its customer base, its patent portfolio, its costs and the value of the Company, growth in the market for Unified Communications, the importance of the Company's patented capabilities to the emerging Unified Communications market, and the net present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual property portfolio,, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including such factors, among others, as Avistar's lengthy sales cycle, volatility associated with Avistar's sales and licensing activities, market acceptance of Avistar's products, increased competition in the market for unified communications, technical challenges associated with product development, ongoing technological developments and changing industry standards, challenges associated with protecting and licensing Avistar's intellectual property, uncertainty associated with the USPTO's review of the Company's U.S. patents, difficulties associated with enforcing or licensing Avistar's patent portfolio, and risks that the assumptions and qualifications upon which the Ocean Tomo report was based do not materialize. These and other risk factors are discussed in Avistar's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Avistar disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Mattson Technology Ships 100th Suprema(TM) Strip System100th Suprema(TM) Strip Tool Ships to Leading Semiconductor Foundry, WXIC

FREMONT, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mattson Technology, Inc. , a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor process equipment used to manufacture Integrated Circuits or IC's, today announced that the Company has shipped its 100th Suprema(TM) photoresist strip system within just two years of the official introduction of the product. The 100th Suprema system was shipped to Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, China; one of the newest 300mm semiconductor foundries in the world, which is operated and managed by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC). The system is being installed in WXIC's 300 mm facility. The shipment expands Mattson's installed base of Suprema systems and is a continuation of its market leadership with photo resist strip products.

Suprema Performance Highlights -- Suprema is rapidly displacing competitors and winning in both established and new accounts. This success is attributable to the system's advanced technical performance and compelling Cost of Ownership (COO) gains for Mattson's customers. -- The Suprema has been installed and is operational at 8 of the top 10 global semiconductor companies, and is being used for high volume production as well as sub-45nm process development. -- Mattson's superior operational efficiency gains have resulted in faster Time-to-Market. -- Suprema product adoption by Mattson's customers is the fastest product ramp in Mattson history, exceeding previous strong ramps of Aspen 3(TM) and Helios(TM) products by 200%, or a 50% reduction in the time required to get the product to market.

"China is an important force in the development of advanced technologies and the global IC market, generating the most worldwide sales of ICs;" noted David L. Dutton, chief executive officer of Mattson Technology, "and we are very pleased to be working with Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor, one of the newest 300mm semiconductor foundries in the world. This milestone shipment expands the Company's installed base of Suprema systems, continues our market leadership with photoresist strip products, and further positions Mattson to outperform the industry. It is a validation of the Company's superior technology and competitive advantages, which we believe will continue to displace competitors and will drive market share gains for Mattson."

John Liu, vice president of the Wuhan project at SMIC, commented, "We selected the Suprema system due to its extremely high productivity with superior process performance, low COO and reliability. As the first 300mm fab in central China delivering advanced technologies, we seek partners who can contribute to improved efficiencies, economics and performance. Mattson Technology is a valued partner with the requisite dedication to improvements in their customers' productivity."

Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Mattson Technology's Surface Cleaning Group, Neal Holmlund, said, "The success of Suprema is a testament to the extremely high reliability and throughput of the product, coupled with enabling process performance, maturity and extendibility to future technology nodes. Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor has selected the Suprema system including for advanced High Dose Implant Strip or HDIS applications -- demonstrating their confidence in the system's ability and maturity to deliver the process expandability that can help speed critical time-to-market for Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor's current and future products. We look forward to further supporting our customer as they ramp up production capacity for the company's state-of-the-art 300 mm fab."

The system combines Mattson's proprietary inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technology with an innovative handling architecture. The ICP technology has been successfully adopted by 17 of the 20 top semiconductor manufacturers in volume production and advanced product development. The Suprema has been designed to provide the greatest productivity per square meter of fab space with the lowest Cost of Ownership to meet industry's requirement for higher efficiency with productivity as well as the best defect performance for bulk strip applications, maximum process performance for high- dose implant strip (HDIS) and descum processes to meet manufacturers' high device yield targets.

Incentra Solutions Reports 2007 Fourth Quarter, Year-End ResultsYear-over-Year Revenues Increase 123% and 119%, Respectively; Operating Profit for Second Consecutive Quarter; Recurring Services Revenue for the Year Up 67 Percent

BOULDER, Colo., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Incentra Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ICNS) , a provider of complete IT services and solutions to enterprises and managed service providers in North America and Europe, today announced results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. Total revenues from continuing operations for the 2007 fourth quarter increased 123 percent to $53.6 million, up from $24.1 million for the 2006 fourth quarter. Total Product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 130 percent from the prior year's fourth quarter and total Services revenue was up 85 percent. The 2007 fourth quarter included revenue from the acquisitions of Helio Solutions and Sales Strategies, Inc (SSI), which were completed late in the third quarter of 2007.

Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney said that for the second consecutive quarter operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 was positive increasing to $188,000, compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million in the 2006 fourth quarter. He also said that SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue declined substantially in 2007 with a significant year-to-year decrease in the fourth quarter. "We believe that the cost structure, trends and product mix we saw in the 2007 fourth quarter will be indicative of our business going forward."

Chief Financial Officer Anthony DiPaolo said, "The increase in operating profit in the 2007 fourth quarter is encouraging, particularly when one considers the non-recurring charges in the quarter associated with the integration of the acquisitions and the higher commission costs we typically incur at year end."

Total revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, rose 119 percent to $145.8 million, up from $66.6 million for 2006 with year-over-year organic growth in Product revenue of 17 percent and Services revenue of 52 percent. Compared to 2006, total Product revenue in 2007 increased 130 percent and total Services revenue rose 73 percent. Results from continuing operations for all periods exclude the operating results of the Company's former Front Porch Digital Broadcast and Media business, which was sold in July 2006.

"The 2007 fourth quarter and year were periods of significant growth and expansion for Incentra," Sweeney added. "Our success is a direct result of our focus on strategic acquisitions and organically growing Services and Product revenues in our acquired and in-place businesses. We are rapidly becoming the preeminent complete solutions provider to the mid-tier IT market in North America and will continue to focus on expanding our business and geographic footprint.

"We are now positioned to exceed $200 million in revenue in 2008, with a business that continues to generate increasing cash flow and strong gains in Services revenue," Sweeney said. "Because of our focus on driving sales of our higher margin services offerings, we were able to grow our base of recurring services revenue in 2007 by 67 percent year-over-year, and we expect to continue to see solid increases in recurring services revenue in 2008." Recurring services revenue for all of 2007 increased to $15 million, up from $9 million in 2006. This increase was driven by increasing sales of higher margin First Call and Enhanced First Call maintenance programs, and Managed Services offerings.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the 2007 fourth quarter decreased to $3.1 million, or a loss per share of $0.12, from $4.5 million, or a loss per share of $0.34 for the 2006 fourth quarter. The loss for the 2006 fourth quarter included $1.0 million of severance costs and other charges. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the full 2007 year was $11.9 million, or a $0.63 loss per share, compared to $5.5 million, or a loss per share of $0.40, for 2006. The net loss in 2006 included a $15.4 million gain recognized on the sale of Front Porch Digital which was sold in July 2006.

President and Chief Operating Officer Shawn O'Grady said, "The integration of Helio and SSI is progressing as expected. We are focusing on expanding our services and product offerings, streamlining processes and implementing efficiencies across the entire organization. In 2008, we expect to see additional synergies from our acquisitions, which will increase gross margins for products and services and reduce operating costs."

Overall gross margin in the 2007 fourth quarter, which included the effects of the Company's acquisition of Helio and SSI, was 20 percent, compared to 24 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 21 percent in the third quarter of 2007. Services gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2007 was 27 percent, compared to 30 percent in the prior year fourth quarter. Product gross margin in the quarter was 19 percent compared to 23 percent in the 2006 fourth quarter.

"The decreases in gross margin as a percentage of revenue were expected as the gross margins of the acquired companies were lower than Incentra's. As we execute on our integration plan, we expect to see gross margins rise for the acquired companies and the combined company to pre-acquisition levels," O'Grady added. Exclusive of the impact of the acquisitions of Helio and SSI, Incentra's overall gross margin for the 2007 fourth quarter was 22 percent. Services gross margin for the 2007 fourth quarter, excluding the acquisitions, was 27 percent, and Product gross margin was 21 percent.

Excluding stock-based compensation charges, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the 2007 fourth quarter was 21 percent. This is down from 37 percent in the 2006 fourth quarter and down sequentially from 24 percent in the 2007 third quarter. SG&A expense, excluding stock-based compensation, as a percentage of revenue for all of 2007 was 24 percent, down significantly from 39 percent in 2006. Excluding incremental expenses of any companies acquired in 2008, SG&A expenses are not expected to increase in 2008.

DiPaolo added, "During the fourth quarter, we increased our revolving line of credit from $15 million to $20 million. The increased operating profit and credit availability will provide us the liquidity to fund our anticipated organic growth in 2008."

Outlook for 2008:

Exclusive of any acquisitions, Incentra expects 2008 revenue to be between $200 million and $220 million, approximately 35 to 50 percent higher than revenue in 2007, and the Company believes it will be cash positive for the year. Excluding funds which may be required under a possible redemption associated with the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, Incentra believes its combined operating and non-operating cash flows, cash on-hand and working capital facilities are sufficient to support its business operations and growth plans for 2008.
