PACT to Continue Trading on the Nasdaq Global Market

BEIJING, April 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PacificNet, Inc. , a leading provider of e-commerce and gaming technology in China, announced today that due to a Nasdaq administrative error, the Company's trading was temporarily halted but will resume trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on Monday, April 28, 2008. PACT management held a call with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Dept. immediately after noticing trading irregularities to address the issue.

As PACT announced previously, the Company has delayed the filing of its 10-K annual report due to an increase in its scale of operations and increased account work as a result of recent mergers and acquisitions. PACT plans to file its 10-K annual report within one month. PacificNet has appealed the Nasdaq Staff's determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which would automatically stay the delisting of PacificNet's common stock pending the Panel's review and determination. Although there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing, once the 10-K is filed, PACT believes the Nasdaq non-compliance situation will be remedied.

About PACT

PacificNet (PACT) is a leading provider of gaming and mobile game technology worldwide with a focus on emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Europe. PacificNet's gaming products are localized to their specific markets creating an enhanced user experience for players and larger profits for operators.

Aon eSolutions Releases ERM Risk RegisterRiskConsole module provides companies with immediate view of enterprise risk; ERM solution debuts at RIMS Conference, Booth #1037

CHICAGO, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aon eSolutions, the client technology arm of Aon Corporation and a leading provider of global risk and insurance solutions, today announced it has released ERM Risk Register, a new module within RiskConsole, its market-leading, browser-based risk management information system (RMIS). ERM Risk Register will provide organizations with the ability to manage enterprise risk.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20041215/CGW049LOGO)

Awareness of the need for robust enterprise risk management (ERM) programs is on the rise but, as Aon reported in its recent global enterprise risk management report, many companies have struggled in their efforts to implement these programs. Although companies have begun to perform risk assessments, a key challenge is effectively being able to process, analyze and act on the consolidated results, commonly referred to as the "risk register."

In the past, organizations utilized a spreadsheet-based tracking and management process, but standalone documents made it difficult to ensure the availability and timeliness of information across an organization.

"ERM Risk Register offers an advanced technology platform to alleviate these challenges," said Kathleen Burns, chief executive officer of Aon eSolutions. "The system not only provides organizations with a centralized data repository to input enterprise risk information, but also enables companies to compare results against risk tolerance, develop action plans to address critical risk areas, delegate action items to staff, and create performance indicators that lead to ERM success."

The ERM Risk Register is developed on the same award-winning platform as RiskConsole, but is also available as a stand-alone solution. With its browser-based platform, the system can easily be accessed and utilized enterprise wide. Key features and benefits include:

-- Categorization of risk. Companies can track and analyze risks by various segments -- such as business units or multiple risk categories. -- Description of risk. By describing each risk in terms of likelihood and impact, organizations can more effectively target and control critical risk areas. -- Quantification of risk. Utilizing a matrix scoring system, organizations can quantify and prioritize risks. -- Audit and track risk. With full auditing and tracking capabilities, ERM Risk Register enables organizations to analyze how risk changes over time. -- Track losses arising from risk. When losses occur, they can be related to and tracked against a company's defined risk categories. -- Full reporting capabilities. ERM Risk Register provides multiple ways to analyze and act on risks, including heat maps, risk profiles, and top 10 risk areas.

Aon eSolutions will debut ERM Risk Register at the Risk & Insurance Management Society's (RIMS) conference held at the San Diego Convention Center, April 28 - 30, 2008, where risk management professionals can obtain one-on-one product demonstrations at the company's booth, #1037.

"Managing a company's enterprise risk is a rapidly expanding area of risk management," added Phillip Lucas, director of global product management at Aon eSolutions. "Today, risk managers are demanding a sophisticated, scaleable, and flexible solution, yet they don't want to invest in a full blown ERM system. ERM Risk Register offers a powerful alternative. It's highly customizable and can be tailored to meet any client's unique business and ERM needs."

About Aon

Aon eSolutions is the client technology solutions arm of Aon Corporation. We provide innovative products, services and solutions to meet the diverse and varied needs of risk and insurance professionals. Our best-in-class systems-iVOS, RiskConsole, AonLine, and SafetyLogic-provide an unparalleled and integrated risk and insurance technology suite.

1-800-THE-INFO Supports 'Rebuilding Together' With a $1 Million Try-The-Service Challenge GrantFree Business Directory Assistance Service Will Donate $1 for Each New Caller; Grant Will Support Nonprofit Organization's Mission of Providing Free Home-Renovation Services to People in Need

NEW YORK, April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon's free business directory assistance service, 1-800-THE-INFO, announced Friday (April 25) a challenge grant of up to $1 million to support the work of Rebuilding Together, a nationwide nonprofit organization that provides free home-renovation services to people in need.

Starting Saturday (April 26), National Rebuilding Day, the free business directory assistance service will contribute $1 to Rebuilding Together and its 225 affiliates for each new caller to 1-800-THE-INFO. The campaign will continue through May.*

"If you want to do something good for your community, then call toll-free 1-800-THE-INFO and give it a try," said Gary Officer, president and CEO of Rebuilding Together. "It's a great way to find businesses in your community, and each new caller during the next few weeks will generate $1 to help Rebuilding Together provide needed renovations and modifications so that low-income homeowners can continue to afford to stay in their homes.

"We're excited that a great company like Verizon selected us to support our important mission," Officer said.

Kitty C. Linder, president of Verizon LiveSource and Public Communications, said, "In local communities 1-800-THE-INFO and Rebuilding Together are a natural fit. Rebuilding Together provides a vital service linking volunteers in local communities to low-income homeowners with a special focus on the elderly, disabled and families at risk. By running this challenge, we're bringing awareness to Rebuilding Together's work and to a convenient directory service that can easily search and find any local business listing for callers."

Verizon LiveSource team members will volunteer in many communities across the country on National Rebuilding Day, as Rebuilding Together affiliates kick off the 2008 season by rebuilding homes in their local communities.

The 1-800-THE-INFO service, which has thousands of local business listings, was launched earlier this month. Callers hear a brief advertisement and then are able to use the free automated voice-recognition to search Verizon's national directory database. The automated business search is backed up by live operators to assist callers in obtaining responses to their requests quickly and accurately. For more information on the service, visit http://www.800theinfo.com/ .

* The entire call must be completed through voice recognition system or by operator to qualify; only one call per telephone number is credited for the $1 contribution to Rebuilding Together.

(There is no cost to the caller for the contribution. Call may be placed from either wireline or wireless number. Not exempt from airtime charges by caller's wireless carrier.)

About Rebuilding Together

Rebuilding Together is the nation's largest nonprofit organization working to preserve affordable homeownership and neighborhoods by providing rehabilitation services free of charge to those in need. Through the support of corporate sponsors, local businesses, and the hands-on work of a quarter-million volunteers, Rebuilding Together rehabs and repairs more than 9,000 homes each year. The market value of this work is in excess of $100 million annually. Rebuilding Together responds to the needs of low-income homeowners including families at risk, the elderly and veterans through four specific practice areas: Safe & Healthy Homes, Disaster Recovery & Reconstruction, Veterans Housing, and National Rebuilding Day to ensure that homeowners live in safe, warm and dry homes. Rebuilding Together celebrated the rehabilitation of its 100,000th home in 2006 and has grown to nearly 225 affiliates nationwide since its founding in 1988. For details, see http://www.rebuildingtogether.org/ , or call 1-800-REHAB-9.

Tellabs annonce un revenu de 464 millions USD pour le premier trimestre 2008

NAPERVILLE, Illinois, April 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- La société privilégie la clientèle en consacrant plus de ressources à l'innovation

Le revenu de Tellabs pour le premier trimestre 2008 a atteint 464 millions USD, soit une augmentation de 3 % par rapport aux 452 millions USD du premier trimestre 2007.

Sur une base PCGR (principes comptables généralement reconnus aux Etats-Unis), les bénéfices de Tellabs s'élèvent à 17 millions USD, ou 0,04 USD par action, par rapport à 25 millions USD ou 0,06 USD par action au trimestre équivalent de l'exercice précédent.

Sur une base non PCGR, les bénéfices de Tellabs s'élèvent à 32 millions USD ou 0,08 USD par action par rapport à 34 millions USD ou 0,08 USD par action au trimestre équivalent de l'exercice précédent. Les résultats non PCGR excluent des frais avant impôts de 22,6 millions USD, y compris 8,0 millions USD ou 0,013 USD par action en dépenses de rémunération à caractère participatif.

Les marges bénéficiaires brutes non PCGR étaient de 39 % pour le premier trimestre 2008, comparé à 34 % au quatrième trimestre 2007. Cette variation est imputable aux changements dans la gamme de produits.

<< La performance de Tellabs est satisfaisante malgré un environnement difficile dans notre secteur. Notre première priorité désormais est de privilégier la clientèle en consacrant plus de ressources à l'innovation >>, déclare Rob Pullen, président et PDG de Tellabs.

Tellabs interrompt la production du terminal de ligne optique Tellabs(R) 8865, mais poursuit le développement de la série d'accès multiservice Tellabs(R) 1100 GPON (gigabit passive optical network). Avec les ressources ainsi libérées, Tellabs a l'intention de financer des initiatives de croissance.

Perspectives pour le deuxième trimestre 2008 -- Les déclarations suivantes sont des énoncés prospectifs qui se fondent sur les attentes actuelles et contiennent des risques et des incertitudes, dont certains sont détaillés ci-dessous. Tellabs anticipe que le revenu du deuxième trimestre se situera dans une fourchette de 425 millions USD à 445 millions USD. La marge bénéficiaire brute non PCGR devrait être de plus ou moins 31 %, suite à la nouvelle configuration de la gamme de produits. Les frais d'exploitation non PCGR devraient rester identiques ou se situer légèrement en retrait par rapport au premier trimestre 2008. La marge bénéficiaire brute non conforme aux PCGR est exprimée à l'exclusion de 2 millions USD de dépenses de rémunération à caractère participatif. Les frais d'exploitation non conformes aux PCGR sont exprimés à l'exclusion de 6 millions USD de dépenses de rémunération à caractère participatif.

Rachat d'actions -- En vertu des plans de rachat d'actions précédemment annoncés, Tellabs a racheté 21,5 millions d'actions pour un montant de 142 millions USD au cours du premier trimestre 2008.

"By partnering with AT&T as our U.S. Wi-Fi provider we aim to deliver a better value, greater convenience and seamless connectivity in a mobility centric world to our customers."

Free AT&T Wi-Fi service is currently offered with AT&T's three higher-speed residential broadband packages, all small business broadband packages and with all AT&T U-verse(SM) offerings with high speed Internet service.

For other customers, AT&T Wi-Fi service will reach company-operated Starbucks locations on a market-by-market basis throughout the year. The experience will include a mix of free and paid connection options for both frequent and occasional Wi-Fi users and qualifying Starbucks customers. Once AT&T Wi-Fi service is available, customers will be able to shop and surf both Starbucks' and AT&T's respective home pages for products and services.

The initiative brings together two of the most recognizable global brands to create a powerful and convenient online experience for consumers and business customers. The San Antonio launch delivers on the companies' joint commitment to begin the rollout of AT&T Wi-Fi service this spring.

ChoicePoint(R) Reports First Quarter 2008 Results- Internal revenue in the Insurance Services segment grew 12.2 percent.- Net Free Cash Flow from continuing operations increased to $29 million for the quarter.- Shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the proposed acquisition of ChoicePoint by Reed Elsevier.

ALPHARETTA, Ga., April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the first quarter of 2008, ChoicePoint Inc. reported consolidated service revenue from continuing operations of $252.9 million, compared to $239.6 million for the first quarter of 2007. Total revenue from continuing operations was $256.4 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $244.5 million for the first quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") for the first quarter of 2008 was $0.39, compared to $0.38 for the first quarter of 2007. Excluding certain other operating charges, EPS would have increased 9 percent to $0.43 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $0.39 for the same period of 2007.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EPS excluding other operating charges to EPS calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007:

Quarter ended March 31, 2008 2007 EPS excluding other operating charges $0.43 $0.39 Other operating charges (0.04) (0.01) EPS $0.39 $0.38

Other operating charges of $4.1 million ($0.04 per share) incurred during the first quarter of 2008 were primarily for costs associated with the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier and severance costs at various business units. See Note (c) to Financial Highlights for additional detail of 2008 and 2007 other operating charges.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights - First Quarter -- Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations were $43.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. With $14.9 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2008 and $10.5 million during the same period in 2007, net free cash flow from continuing operations (cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations less capital expenditures) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $29.0 million, compared to $27.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The improved cash flow results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 primarily reflect improved working capital management, partially offset by increased capital expenditures. -- Net debt (total debt of $573.8 million less cash and cash equivalents of $31.9 million) at March 31, 2008, decreased by $47.9 million from December 31, 2007 to $541.9 million, with an average effective interest rate of 4.8 percent, as the Company utilized its cash flows to fund capital expenditures and pay down debt. The remaining debt capacity at March 31, 2008 under our committed financing lines was $440.7 million. -- The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2008. Financial Highlights - First Quarter -- First quarter service revenue from continuing operations increased 5.5 percent to $252.9 million in 2008, from $239.6 million in 2007. Internal revenue (service revenue less revenue from acquisitions) from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 increased 3.7 percent from the first quarter of 2007. Continued strong internal revenue growth of 12.2 percent in the Insurance Services segment (excluding $2.1 million of revenue related to an acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2008) was offset by declines in the Marketing Services and Business Services segments, primarily due to poor macroeconomic conditions faced by our customers in these segments. -- Operating income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2008 was $51.7 million, compared to $54.1 million for the same period of 2007. Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was reduced by other operating charges of $4.1 million ($2.7 million net of taxes) consisting of the following: * Charges of $2.0 million for transaction-related expenses associated with the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier. * Charges of $2.1 million consisting primarily of severance and asset impairment charges. -- Operating income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 included other operating charges of $1.2 million ($0.7 million net of taxes) consisting of the following: * Charges of $0.6 million for lease abandonment, severance, and impairment charges associated with the consolidation of facilities. * Charges of $0.6 million for third party expenses related to the previously disclosed fraudulent data access. Excluding these charges, operating income from continuing operations would have been $55.7 million and $55.3 million for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. -- The Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008 was 40.0 percent, compared to 38.1 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2008 is due primarily to the non-deductibility of certain charges incurred in connection with proposed acquisition of ChoicePoint by Reed Elsevier, and the December 31, 2007 expiration of the Federal R&D Tax Credit. -- Interest expense was $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2007, due to higher average debt outstanding, which is primarily associated with the Company's share repurchases throughout 2007. Operational Highlights Insurance Services -- Total revenue increased 13.9 percent to $142.7 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $125.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding revenue of $2.1 million related to an acquisition in the first quarter of 2008, internal revenue increased 12.2 percent in the Insurance Services segment. This growth was a result of double-digit internal revenue growth in all three insurance businesses: data services, claims and fraud analytics, and our software business. -- Operating income increased 10.5 percent in Insurance Services to $72.0 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared with $65.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. Operating profit margin was 50.5% for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 52.0% in the first quarter of 2007. This decrease is primarily due to changes in product mix and ongoing investments in new product initiatives. Screening and Authentication Services -- Total revenue and internal revenue both increased by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2008 to $62.3 million, compared to $61.4 million in the first quarter of 2007. Double-digit internal revenue growth from our occupational health, tenant screening, Bridger, and VitalChek businesses was offset by continued negative internal revenue growth in our employment-related screening business, due primarily to reduced hiring levels by our customers, particularly customers in the retail sector. -- Operating income in Screening and Authentication Services was $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $10.1 million in the same period of the prior year. Operating profit margin increased to 16.7% for the first quarter of 2008, from 16.4% in the first quarter of 2007. This increase is primarily due to the impact of the revenue increase discussed above. Business Services -- Total revenue increased by 0.5 percent to $35.9 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $35.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. These results include the impact of our Charles Jones joint venture, which was effective July 1, 2007. Excluding the impact of the Charles Jones joint venture, internal revenue declined 5.8 percent during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the same period of the prior year, as we experienced declining revenues, particularly from our on-demand business due diligence products. -- Operating income in the Business Services segment was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2007. Operating profit margin was 3.9% for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 2.6% in the first quarter of 2007, as improved margins in our public records business offset declines in the Charles Jones and BIS business units. Marketing Services -- First quarter total revenue and internal revenue for Marketing Services (which includes all of the Company's revenue from reimbursable expenses) declined 29 percent to $15.6 million in 2008 from $22.1 million in 2007. Marketing Services' service revenue for the first quarter of 2008 declined 30 percent to $12.0 million from $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to continued reductions in spending by our customers in the financial services market. -- Marketing Services incurred an operating loss of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared with operating income of $1.2 million for the same period of 2007. The operating profit margin decline from 7.0% in the first quarter of 2007 to a negative 9.1% in the first quarter of 2008 was due to the revenue decrease from 2007 to 2008. Corporate and Shared Expenses -- For the first quarter of 2008, corporate and shared expenses were $21.7 million, or 8.6 percent of consolidated service revenue, compared to $16.6 million, or 6.9 percent of service revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in corporate and shared expenses is due to $1.9 million of incremental third party legal costs, and $3.2 million of incremental incentive compensation. For additional information on corporate and shared expenses, please refer to the table at the end of this release. -- The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $5.3 million ($3.9 million net of taxes) during the first quarter of 2008. Approximately $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of revenue, with the remaining $4.4 million of stock- based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts include restricted stock expense of $2.9 million ($1.8 million net of taxes), and stock option expense of $2.3 million ($2.1 million net of taxes). The Company recorded $5.5 million ($4.1 million net of taxes) of stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2007, which includes restricted stock expense of $2.3 million ($1.4 million net of taxes) and stock option expense of $3.2 million ($2.7 million net of taxes). Disposition of Assets Held for Sale

On April 24, 2008, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its government software business, ("i2"), to Silver Lake Sumeru, a leader in private investments in technology, technology-enabled and related growth industries, in a cash purchase of $185 million. The consummation of the transaction remains subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions as described in the agreement. Additionally, the Company sold its iMap business to a private investment group in March 2008. The Company had reclassified the operations of both i2 and iMap to discontinued operations in 2007 as part of its previously announced strategy of divesting businesses that did not fit within its strategic focus of helping customers manage economic risks.

Shareholders Approve Merger with Reed Elsevier

On April 16, 2008 at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, ChoicePoint shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2008, by and among ChoicePoint, Reed Elsevier Group plc and Deuce Acquisition Inc., under which ChoicePoint would be acquired by Reed Elsevier.

More than 99.5 percent of all votes cast were voted in favor of the transaction. The consummation of the transaction remains subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions as described in the merger agreement.

ChoicePoint Inc. Notes to Financial Highlights (a) Service revenue excludes revenue from reimbursable expenses (see (b) below). The Company uses service revenue to measure its continuing operations without the effect of reimbursable expenses. (b) Reimbursable expenses per Emerging Issues Task Force 01-14, "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for 'Out-of- Pocket' Expenses Incurred" ("EITF 01-14"), represent out-of-pocket expenses fully reimbursed by ChoicePoint's customers and recorded as revenues and expenses in accordance with EITF 01-14. As these expenses are fully reimbursed, without mark-up, by our customers and in a majority of cases prepaid by the customers, there is no impact on operating income, net income, EPS, cash flows or the balance sheet. In addition, management excludes these expenses from its revenue analysis for operational management and incentive purposes; therefore, we have separately identified these expenses and excluded their impact in our calculations of service revenue, internal revenue growth and operating margins. Other pass-through expenses such as motor vehicle registry fees will continue to be accounted for on a net basis and, as such, excluded from revenues in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). First quarter pass-through expenses related to continuing operations totaled $216.9 million in 2008 and $214.7 million in 2007. (c) Other operating charges includes the following components: Three Months Ended March 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2008 2007 Asset impairments $486 $279 Transaction-related expenses 2,044 - Lease abandonment, severance and other 1,440 311 Fraudulent data access related expense 99 567 Total other operating charges $4,069 $1,157 Included in transaction-related expenses above are investment banking and other costs related to the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier. (d) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the following components: Three Months Ended March 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2008 2007 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes $(3,456) $1,719 Gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes 37 (365) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes $(3,419) $1,354 (e) The Company has presented this analysis with and without these items because they represent costs that management excludes in its assessments of operating results of the business. (f) To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides the following non-GAAP financial measures: "operating income before other expenses," "income from continuing operations before income taxes and other expenses," "net income from continuing operations before other expenses," "effective tax rate from continuing operations excluding other expenses" and "earnings per share from continuing operations - diluted excluding other expenses". In each case, these non-GAAP financial measures differ from the equivalent GAAP financial measures in that they exclude the other operating charges described in Note (c), which include expenses related to the pending merger with Reed Elsevier, severance, lease abandonment, fraudulent data access, and other costs relating to the consolidation of facilities. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal purposes in evaluating and forecasting the Company's operating performance because they exclude expenses that are not reflective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and, in the case of expenses related to the fraudulent data access and consolidation of operating platforms, are expected to be limited in duration and decreasing over time. The Company also uses certain of these non-GAAP financial measures in setting bonus targets and targets for other performance-based compensation plans. Management believes these non- GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the Company's results with prior periods in which such expenses were not taken. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP operating income, income before taxes, net income or earnings per share. In addition, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. For example, expenses associated with items such as the fraudulent data access or consolidation of technology platforms could have a material impact on cash flows or liquidity. These effects are reflected in our GAAP financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Other companies may use different methodologies for calculating their non-GAAP financial measures and, accordingly, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those measures. (g) Net free cash flow is not defined under GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines net free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations less capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire net free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The Company believes net free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and its ability to generate cash. (h) Net debt is not defined under GAAP. The Company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt provides useful information regarding the level of the Company's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for total debt data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. (i) To supplement the Company's balance sheet information presented on a GAAP basis, the Company also uses "net debt to EBITDA ratio". Net debt to EBITDA ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, and is obtained by dividing the Company's net debt as of a specific date by its EBITDA for the specified period ending on such date. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. The Company defines EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before taxes, interest, other operating charges, depreciation and amortization, including amortization associated with stock-based compensation. The Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio is required to be calculated by the Company's loan covenants and Management uses it to evaluate the Company's ability to repay or refinance its debt obligations. Management believes that net debt is a useful measure because it represents the amount of debt obligations that are not covered by available cash and temporary investments. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measure in this context because it assists management in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which are non- cash in nature and can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods or non-operating factors such as historical cost. The Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a ratio of GAAP total debt to net income.

Solar EnerTech Announces 2008 Second Quarter Financial Results

-- Company Adds Senior Members to Manufacturing Team --

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Solar EnerTech Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: SOEN) (the "Company") today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

For the fiscal 2008 second quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company reported total revenue of $3.5 million, compared to $3,000 of revenue in the same period of the prior year. The sequential revenue growth was lower than expected due to a delayed production schedule caused by a temporary shortage in raw material supply and a severe winter storm in China in February. The second quarter revenue of $3.5 million was comprised entirely of solar module sales which increased sequentially by $1.3 million, or 59%, compared to the prior quarter. In the first half of fiscal 2008, the Company generated $8.3 million in revenue, of which $5.7 million was from solar module sales.

The Company incurred a negative gross profit margin of $0.7 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2008. The negative gross margin was primarily a result of adverse winter weather conditions in China in February that halted our logistics and production, and to the recent increase in silicon material cost. Additionally, at the beginning of the fiscal second quarter, the Company's module production lines were halted for a period of time as the line was relocated into a new 21,000 square foot facility. These preceding factors resulted in lower manufacturing volume than expected in the fiscal second quarter which had a negative impact to gross margin.

Total operating expense for the fiscal 2008 second quarter was $5.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. In the 2008 second quarter, the Company incurred a non-cash loss on debt extinguishment of $2.1 million related to the conversion of convertible notes into common stock as well as a $1.7 million non-cash stock compensation charge related to the hiring and retention of key executives. The $3.8 million in non-cash charges during the second quarter of 2008 compares to $2.1 million in non-cash stock compensation charges for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding these non-cash charges, operating expense for the second quarter 2008 was $1.2 million compared to $0.3 million in the prior year's second quarter period. The increase in operating expense, excluding non-cash charges, was due to an increase in sales and marketing activities and general and administrative expense to support overall growth.

The Company incurred interest expense charges of $298,000 in the fiscal 2008 second quarter primarily associated with Series A and B convertible notes. It also recorded gains of $11.2 million and $10.8 million for a total of $22.0 million associated with the change in fair market value of compound embedded derivative liability and warrant liability, respectively.

Net income for the fiscal 2008 second quarter was $15.8 million. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was a loss of ($0.03), which excludes the $22.0 million gain on change in fair market value of compounded embedded derivative and warrant liabilities and certain securities because of their anti-dilutive effect, as required by US GAAP.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $12.6 million in cash, $3.9 million of accounts receivables, $8.0 million of prepayments primarily for purchase of raw materials as well as $6.7 million of inventories on hand. Additionally, the Company had $5.5 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an additional $4 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to related parties.

Mr. Leo Young, Chief Executive Officer of Solar EnerTech commented, "Our revenue and gross margin in the second quarter did not meet our expectations mainly due to a temporary shortage of raw materials, severe winter storm conditions, and delayed module production stemming from the move to a new manufacturing facility. These preceding issues, though temporary, primarily impacted our business in the first two months of the second quarter. We had a more productive month in March and we have made significant progress to position our business for solid growth ahead. As part of these efforts, we are working aggressively to increase our revenue stream, control operating costs and scale up our production capabilities. We continue to evaluate and negotiate long-term supply contracts with silicon suppliers in China and overseas. During the quarter, we also broadened our customer base by adding new customers from the Netherlands, Australia, Germany and Belgium, which can add further strength to our revenue stream in the second half of the fiscal year.

In March, we completed the expansion of our module production facility in Jinqiao Technology Park. This enhanced facility increases our potential module production capacity from 25 MW to 50 MW. We are in a better position going into our fiscal third quarter to improve the production output. We also mentioned in previous quarters that we were building a second solar cell production line, which will increase our potential cell production capacity from 25MW to 50MW. We are on schedule on this front and expect to complete the line by the end of our calendar year.

We are pleased with the quality of our products and as part of our effort to continue improving our manufacturing process, we added two senior members to our manufacturing team with considerable experience in photovoltaic manufacturing. We are delighted to announce the appointments of Mr. Fei Yun as our Chief Technology Officer and Mr. Ying Hui Tang as our Vice President of Manufacturing. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Yun was the Director of Technology of Solarfun Power Holding Co. Ltd., and Mr. Tang was the Director of Solar Cell Production of Solarfun Power Holding Co., Ltd. Messrs. Yun and Tang have a combined total of over 40 years working in the solar industry. We look forward to their contributions to our business in the areas of research and development and manufacturing, which we believe will enhance our position in the global solar marketplace. We also appointed Dr Z.Q. Ma, our former Chief Technology Officer, as the Director of the Joint Research and Development Lab at the Shanghai University. Mr. Ma will be working extensively with Mr. Yun and Mr. Tang to apply development achievements to the manufacture of our solar products."

Financial Outlook

For the fiscal 2008 third quarter ending June 30, 2008, Solar EnerTech expects module revenue to be in the range of $8.5 million to $9.5 million. The Company recently reduced its contract with Sky Solar (Hong Kong) International Co., Ltd, which was originally announced on December 18, 2007 from $21.8 million to $13 million due to high costs and tight supplies of raw materials. The majority of delivery to Sky Solar is expected to occur in the third fiscal quarter.

"Overall, as we look to the second half of the 2008 fiscal year, we believe we are moving in the right direction operationally and look forward to further expanding our sales performance and reporting improved gross margin," concluded Young.
