OLATHE, Kan., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. , the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today a one-time-purchase plan for Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry. This one-time, $99.99 purchase is only available in North America and will give customers who own BlackBerry devices unlimited use of Garmin Mobile's turn-by-turn, voice prompted directions for the life of their specific BlackBerry. Users will also have unlimited access to Garmin Mobile's dynamic content such as traffic, weather conditions and forecasts, fuel prices and more. The one-time purchase Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry is designed to meet the navigation needs of customers who prefer a one-time purchase rather than continuous monthly payments.

"Garmin is one of the first to offer a one-time purchase navigation package for BlackBerry devices," said Charles Morse, Garmin's director of mobile and online marketing. "Having turn-by-turn directions on a BlackBerry is essential to mobile professionals because it takes the stress out of navigating to that important business meeting or child's soccer game. It helps people arrive at their destination every time, while taking into consideration uncontrollable variables like traffic."

Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry is easy to use and offers users extreme utility especially when traveling in unfamiliar areas. Users can navigate to addresses in North America, or search millions of points of interest (POI's) -- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Once a destination is selected, Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry automatically calculates the fastest route to the destination, and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. If a turn is missed en route, Garmin Mobile automatically recalculates the route based on the user's current location. Map data is provided by NAVTEQ -- a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

Since Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry's mapping data is stored online and not on the BlackBerry device itself, customers have the advantage of the most up-to-date mapping information available directly from Garmin. In order to access Garmin's network with the mapping data, the BlackBerry device must have a data plan.

BlackBerry customers will also have access to real-time traffic, fuel, and weather information. The real-time traffic service identifies accidents, road construction, or other incidents affecting traffic, and routes users around the congestion. The fuel feature displays helpful fuel information such as the filling station's name, fuel price, type of fuel, and distance to the station. Real-time weather information lets users see weather conditions and forecasts at their current location or anywhere in North America.

Those customers using a BlackBerry without embedded GPS may need to pair their BlackBerry with the GPS 10x(TM), a highly sensitive, portable GPS sensor that receives location data from the GPS and transmits that information to the BlackBerry via Bluetooth wireless technology. The GPS 10x is not included in the $99.99 one-time purchase.

Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry's $99.99 one-time purchase is available directly from Garmin at http://www.garmin.com/mobilephones. The one-time purchase plan for Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry is not transferable between BlackBerry devices.

D-STAR Begins Trials of PLAY MPE(TM)

SYDNEY, Australia, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shooting Star Picture Company's D-STAR division is pleased to announce the start of trials of PLAY MPE(TM), the new generation of B2B music delivery in Australia.

PLAY MPE(TM) is already the #1 digital delivery platform in North America and commences trials this week with content from both major and independent labels from around the country.

"We have had much success in the last few years with our D-STAR Video product and the time was right to launch a new generation product to revolutionize the delivery of audio from Record Labels to their numerous media partners," said CEO Peter Skillman.

The trial of PLAY MPE (TM) will initially concentrate on radio, with plans to expand to other media later in 2008. The company is currently allocating logins for the system to music programmers around Australia as part of their trial phase of the system.

With its vivid, rich and colorful image quality, it is the best choice for digital signage applications. The new 42" double-side display shares a single backlight module with the thickness of just 60 mm. In addition, it can display different images on both sides simultaneously therefore create higher advertising benefits. For general applications, AUO is exhibiting a series of TFT-LCD displays with LED backlights, which can be applied to handheld devices, ATMs or other business and entertainment applications.

ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq Capital Market: PNTR, Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange: PNTR) - a leading provider of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology, stolen vehicle retrieval services, fleet management, car & driver safety, public safety, vehicle security, asset management and road side assistance, announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2008.

The successful merger of Cellocator's business together with strong internal growth has resulted in an exceedingly good quarter. Following first indications in the fourth quarter of 2007, Q1 2008 presents the second consecutive quarter of improved profits. Pointer's technologies and services businesses continue to attract more companies worldwide and increase their business and financial strength.

Financial Highlights:

Revenues: Pointer's revenues for the first quarter of 2008 increased by 63%, to $18.5 million from $11.3 million, in the comparable period in 2007. International activities consist of 28% of total revenues compared with 10% in the comparable period in 2007. Revenues from products were $7.6 million and consist of 41% of total revenues, as compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 - which indicate growth of 158%. Revenues from services increased 30% to $10.9 million and 59% of total revenue, compared to $8.4 million and 74%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2007.

Gross Profit: For the first quarter of 2008, gross profit increased 76% to $7.2 million from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit is approximately 39% in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to approximately 36% in the same period in 2007. Gross margin increased mainly as a result of increased portion of products contribution of total revenue.

Operating Income: Pointer reported a $2.3 million operating income for the first quarter of 2008, compared to an operating income of $0.95 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Minority share: For the first quarter of 2008, Pointer reported a $561 thousand minority share, compared to $434 thousands in the first quarter of 2007.

Net Income: Pointer recorded a net income of $752 thousand, or $0.16 per share during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to a net loss of $180 thousand, or $(0.06) per share in the first quarter of 2007. Improved bottom line is in line with internal growth and the successful merger of Cellocator business into Pointer Telocation, taking place from September 2007.

Non-GAAP net income:

Pointer's non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2008 was $1.8 million, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2007. The non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2008 excludes amortization of $ 0.85 million and non-cash taxes on income of $ 218 thousand.

EBITDA:

Pointer's EBITDA increased to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $2 million in the comparable period in 2007.

Danny Stern, Pointer CEO, said: "We are proud to present the 12th consecutive quarter of revenue growth and a second consecutive quarter of improved profits following our Cellocator acquisition. Our operating parameters continue to improve as a result of both internal growth and the successful merger of Cellocator's business. International revenue was responsible for 28% of revenue in Q1 2008 and was derived from exports and activities in over 25 countries. 41% of revenue was generated from our technology and products sales. In addition, all our subsidiaries presented improved operating results, which further provides evidence that internal growth is a major business driver. Pointer's technology, know-how and stronger market presence continue to draw an increased number of business partners from additional countries and from various sectors - car dealers, fleet operators as well as insurance companies - who are motivated by an increase in the demand for high-quality technology and services", concluded Mr. Stern.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred income tax, as well as certain business combination accounting entries. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-GAAP charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. We believe that these non- GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our three most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the consolidated statements of operations.

Pointer uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and minority interest. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP measures is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Conference Call Information:

Pointer Telocation's management will host a conference call with the investment community to review and discuss the financial results:

Conference call will take place on 9:30 AM EST, 16:30 Israel time.

Eutelsat Communications Annonce une Augmentation de 8,9% de son Chiffre d'affaires du Troisieme Trimestre de l'Exercice 2007-2008

PARIS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

- Information Financiere Trimestrielle - Le Groupe Revise a la Hausse son Objectif de Chiffre d'Affaires pour l'Annee - Forte Augmentation du Chiffre d'Affaires par Rapport au Troisième Trimestre de l'Exercice Précédent, Tirée par la Croissance Continue des Applications Vidéo et des Services à Valeur Ajoutée - Objectif de Chiffre d'Affaires pour l'Exercice 2007-2008 Porté à 860-870 Millions d'Euros Contre 850-860 millions d'Euros Précédemment

Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris : ETL), l'un des premiers opérateurs mondiaux de satellites, publie aujourd'hui son information financière pour le troisième trimestre clos le 31 mars 2008.

Chiffre d'affaires par application

3ème trimestre Var 9 mois clos Var. clos le 31 mars en% le 31 mars en% En millions d'euros 2007 2008 2007 2008 Applications Vidéo 148, 164,9 +10,8% 438,6 484,2 +10,4% Services Données & Valeur 39,2 40,0 +1,9% 120,8 114,9 -4,8% Ajoutée Dont Services à valeur 8,5 9,7 +13,4% 23,5 26,6 +13,5% ajoutée Multiusages 15,1 14,2 -5,6% 44,5 43,8 -1,7% Autres 2,5 4,8 5,7 10,4 Sous-total 205,7 223,9 +8,9% 609,6 653,3 +7,2%(1) Revenus non récurrents - - 11,4 - Total 205,7 223,9 +8,9[2]% 621,0 653,3 +5,2%

Commentant ces résultats, Giuliano Berretta, Président-directeur général d'Eutelsat Communications, a déclaré : << Notre performance continue à refléter parfaitement une stratégie qui allie croissance, visibilité et innovation, en nous positionnant sur les marchés les plus porteurs. Avec une augmentation de près de 20% en un an du nombre de chaînes de télévision diffusées par notre flotte de satellites, les applications vidéo confirment leur dynamique. Elles consolident également la forte visibilité de nos revenus avec des contrats de long terme comme en témoigne le récent renouvellement jusqu'en 2020 des capacités louées par le bouquet NOVA, premier bouquet grec de télévision, sur notre position HOT BIRD(TM). D'autres exemples de nouveaux contrats confirment le rôle croissant de nos satellites dans la distribution des services numériques : Faisant suite au lancement fin 2007 du bouquet BIS sur nos satellites HOT BIRD(TM) et ATLANTIC BIRD(TM) 3, notre activité en France se consolide avec l'annonce faite par Orange d'assurer depuis ces positions orbitales la diffusion en France de la partie TV de son offre triple play lorsque celle-ci n'est pas accessible par ADSL. En Allemagne, le contrat avec Tele Columbus pour la distribution de chaînes numériques vers les réseaux câblés vient renforcer notre position dans ce marché clé du câble européen. La sélection par Swisscom de notre nouveau service TOOWAY(TM) pour offrir aux foyers suisses une couverture universelle d'accès au haut débit confirme également le rôle essentiel joué par le satellite dans la résolution de la fracture numérique.

La forte progression de notre chiffre d'affaires nous conduit ainsi à réviser en hausse notre objectif de chiffre d'affaires pour l'exercice à 860 - 870 millions d'euros >>.

PARIS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

FAITS MARQUANTS DU TROISIEME TRIMESTRE 2007-2008

Les Applications Vidéo (164,9 millions d'euros) continuent à se développer à un rythme élevé, avec une progression de 10,8% par rapport au troisième trimestre de l'exercice précédent. Les principaux éléments de cette croissance sont :

- L'arrivée depuis mars 2007 de 472 nouvelles chaînes de télévision (+ 19%) qui portent à 2 977 le nombre total de programmes diffusés par les satellites du Groupe au 31 mars 2008 ; - Les marchés de la Russie, de l'Afrique, de la Turquie et du Moyen-Orient représentent près de 60% de ces nouvelles chaînes de télévision. On notera en particulier la signature depuis mars 2007 de contrats majeurs avec l'opérateur Intersputnik pour la Russie ou encore les bouquets de télévision Entertainment Highway et Gateway en Afrique, et CanalSat Réunion pour les îles de l'Océan indien ; - La montée en puissance du satellite EUROBIRD(TM) 9, qui est entré en service à la fin de l'exercice précédent à la position orbitale 9degrees Est. Cette position diffuse 78 chaînes de télévision au 31 mars 2008. EUROBIRD(TM) 9 a été sélectionné au cours du trimestre par Tele Columbus, l'un des trois câblo-opérateurs majeurs allemands, pour le prochain lancement d'une offre de chaînes numériques dans le cadre de la transition du câble allemand de l'analogique vers le numérique ; - Enfin, sur un an, le Groupe a plus que doublé son nombre de chaînes en Haute Définition avec 35 chaînes HD au 31 mars 2008. Les nouvelles chaînes lancées au cours du trimestre comprennent notamment Rush HD pour le Royaume Uni, FilmBox HD et HBO Polska pour la Pologne ou encore Movie Max HD pour la Turquie.

L'évolution des Services de Données et à Valeur Ajoutée (40,0 millions d'euros, +1,9%), résulte de plusieurs facteurs :

- En forte progression de 13,4%, le chiffre d'affaires des Services à Valeur Ajoutée s'établit à 9,7 millions d'euros au 31 mars 2008. Cette croissance est principalement titrée par le déploiement continu des services D-STAR d'accès Internet haut débit en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Le trimestre a également enregistré la livraison de nouveaux équipements dans le cadre du contrat signé avec la SNCF pour tester l'accès haut débit à bord des trains sur la ligne TGV Est. Enfin, les Services à Valeur Ajoutée ont bénéficié du déploiement par Swisscom, le premier opérateur suisse de télécommunications, des premiers terminaux du service TOOWAYTM d'Eutelsat pour assurer un accès universel au haut débit à tous les foyers suisses ; - Les Services de Données s'inscrivent en quasi stabilité (-0,4 million d'euros) par rapport au troisième trimestre de l'exercice précédent. Ils ont enregistré l'activation de nouveaux contrats avec les opérateurs de télécommunication et de réseaux d'entreprise Telespazio (Italie), Teles (Allemagne), Orascom (Algérie) ou encore GulfSat (Moyen Orient).

Les revenus des services Multiusages (14,2 millions d'euros) enregistrent un léger recul par rapport au troisième trimestre de l'exercice précédent, imputable à un effet défavorable de change entre le dollar US et l'euro. A taux de change constant, le chiffre d'affaires se serait apprécié de 9,4% par rapport au troisième trimestre 2006-2007.

Enfin, le poste << Autres Revenus >> s'établit à 4,8 millions d'euros. Il correspond essentiellement à l'effet de la politique de couverture de change mise en place au cours de l'exercice précédent sur le chiffre d'affaires (3,7 millions d'euros).

ACTIVITE DES NEUF PREMIERS MOIS DE L'EXERCICE 2007-2008

Le chiffre d'affaires des neuf premiers mois de l'exercice 2007-2008 s'élève à 653,3 millions d'euros, (+5,2% par rapport à la mÃªme période de l'exercice précédent). Hors revenus non récurrents et à taux de change constant, la croissance s'établit à 9,5%.

Cette performance traduit les évolutions suivantes :

- L'augmentation des ressources en orbite au cours de l'exercice précédent avec l'ouverture de trois nouvelles positions orbitales : 7degrees Ouest (ATLANTIC BIRD(TM) 4), 4degrees Est (EUROBIRD(TM) 4) et 9degrees Est(EUROBIRD(TM) 9). Le Groupe a donc disposé de 43 nouveaux répéteurs opérationnels durant l'exercice en cours(3) ; - La dynamique des Applications Vidéo, illustrée par la croissance continue du nombre de chaînes diffusées par les satellites du Groupe pour la réception directe par les foyers et l'alimentation des réseaux du câble et de la TNT ; - La progression soutenue des Services à Valeur Ajoutée, portés par le déploiement régulier du service D-STAR, ainsi que par les services d'accès haut débit en mobilité dans les transports et le lancement des premières offres d'accès au haut débit TOOWAY(TM) pour les particuliers.

PARIS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

SITUATION FINANCIERE ET PERSPECTIVES POUR l'EXERCISE 2007-2008

Compte tenu de la performance enregistrée, Eutelsat Communications ajuste ses perspectives de chiffre d'affaires pour l'exercice en cours et vise à présent un objectif compris entre 860 et 870 millions d'euros. Ceci est à comparer à la fourchette précédemment communiquée d'un chiffre d'affaires compris entre 850 et 860 millions d'euros.

Le Groupe maintient son objectif de marge d'EBITDA à plus de 78% du chiffre d'affaires pour l'exercice en cours, confirmant une solide situation financière.

PARIS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

EVENEMENTS RECENTS SIGNIFICATIFS: SIGNATURE D'UNE POLICE D'ASSURANCES POUR TOUS LES LANCEMENTS DE SATELITES EN COMMMANDE

Au cours du mois d'avril 2008, le Groupe a conclu l'un des plus importants contrats d'assurances jamais signé par un opérateur de Services Fixes par Satellite. Ce contrat, passé à des conditions très favorables, couvre l'assurance << lancement + 1 an en orbite >> des sept satellites actuellement en construction. Elle ouvre au Groupe la possibilité d'utiliser la totalité des lanceurs disponibles sur le marché, lui donnant une flexibilité maximale pour conduire son programme d'expansion en orbite sur les trois prochaines années.

Eutelsat Communications Reports 8.9% Revenue Increase for Third Quarter 2007-2008

PARIS, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

- Quarterly Financial Information Revenue Objective For Current Fiscal Year Revised Upwards - Strong revenue increase compared to third quarter of the previous fiscal year driven by continued growth of Video Applications and Value Added Services - Upward revision of revenue objective for fiscal year 2007-2008 to 860-870 million euros, compared to previous objective of 850-860 million euros

Eutelsat Communications (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris: ETL), one of the world's leading satellite operators, today reported financial information for the third quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Revenue by application 3rd quarter Change 9 months ended Change ended March 31 March 31 In million euros 2007 2008 in % 2007 2008 in % Video Applications 148.8 164.9 +10.8% 438.6 484.2 +10.4% Data & Value Added 39.2 40.0 +1.9% 120.8 114.9 -4.8% Services Of which Value Added 8.5 9.7 +13.4% 23.5 26.6 +13.5% Services Multi-usage 15.1 14.2 -5.6% 44.5 43.8 -1.7% Other 2.5 4.8 5.7 10.4 Sub-total 205.7 223.9 +8.9% 609.6 653.3 +7.2%(1) Non-recurring revenues - - 11.4 - Total 205.7 223.9 +8.9(2)% 621.0 653.3 +5.2%

Commenting on the Group's results, Giuliano Berretta, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communications said:

"Our performance continues to perfectly reflect a strategy combining growth, visibility and innovation, positioning us in the most attractive markets. The strong dynamic of Video Applications is reconfirmed by the almost 20% increase in the number of television channels broadcast by our satellites over one year. Video activity has also further consolidated our strong visibility on revenues, illustrated by long-term contracts that include the recent renewal to 2020 of capacity at our HOT BIRD(TM) position for NOVA, the leading pay-TV platform in Greece. Further examples of new business underscore the increasing role of our satellites for distributing digital services: following the launch at the end of 2007 of the BIS TV platform from our HOT BIRD(TM) and ATLANTIC BIRD(TM) 3 neighbourhoods, our activity in France has been further strengthened by the announcement last month by Orange of its selection of our satellites to deliver the TV component of its triple play offer in cases where it is not accessible via ADSL. The contract concluded in Germany with Tele Columbus for delivery of digital channels to cable networks increases our participation in Europe's leading cable market, while the selection by Swisscom of our new TOOWAY(TM) service to ensure universal broadband access for homes throughout Switzerland is a positive signal of the demand for satellite broadband to close the digital divide.

Our strong increase in revenues leads us to revise upwards our revenue objective for the current fiscal year to 860-870 million euros".

Q3 2007-2008 highlights

Video Applications (164.9 million euros) continue to develop rapidly. Strong year-on-year growth of 10.8% mainly reflects:

- The launch since March 2007 of 472 new channels (+19%), taking to 2,977 the total number of channels broadcast by the Group's satellites at March 31, 2008; - The markets of Russia, Africa, Turkey and the Middle East account for almost 60% of new channels, notably as a consequence of major contracts signed since March 2007 with the Russian operator Intersputnik, as well as with the pay-TV operators Entertainment Highway and Gateway for Africa, and with CanalSat RÃƒÂ©union for Indian Ocean islands; - The take-up of the EUROBIRD(TM) 9 satellite which entered into service at 9 degrees East at the end of the last fiscal year, and which was broadcasting 78 channels at March 31, 2008. EUROBIRD(TM) 9 was selected during the third quarter by Tele Colombus, one of the three leading cable operators in Germany for the upcoming launch of an offer of digital channels within the framework of the transition of German cable from analogue to digital; - Finally, the Group more than doubled the number of HDTV channels broadcast by its satellites over one year, with 35 HDTV channels broadcasting at March 31, 2008. New HDTV channels launched in the third quarter include Rush HD for the UK, FilmBox HD and HBO Polska for Poland and Movie Max HD for Turkey. The development of Data and Value Added Services (40.0 million euros, +1.9%) is attributed to factors that include: - Strong increase of 13.4% of Value Added Services to 9.7 million euros at March 31, 2008. This growth is principally fuelled by continued deployment of D-STAR broadband access services in Africa and the Middle East. The third quarter was also marked by delivery of new equipment to test broadband services on TGV Est high-speed trains within the scope of the contract with France's SNCF. Value-Added Services also benefited from the deployment by Swisscom, the leading telecom operator in Switzerland, of the first terminals for Eutelsat's TOOWAYTM service to ensure universal broadband access to homes throughout Switzerland; - The quasi stability of Data Services (down 0.4 million euros year-on-year). This activity included the activation of new contracts with the telecom and corporate network operators Telespazio (Italy), Teles (Germany), Orascom (Algeria) and GulfSat (Middle East).

Revenue from Multi-usage (14.2 million euros) is slightly down year-on-year due to the depreciation of the US dollar versus the euro. At a constant exchange rate, year-on-year revenue growth would have been 9.4%.

Other Revenues of 4.8 million euros mainly reflect the impact on revenue (+3.7 millions euros) of the currency hedging policy put in place during the preceding fiscal year.

Year-to-Date 2007-2008 Revenue Highlights

Revenue for the first nine months of the 2007-2008 fiscal year amounts to 653.3 million euros, up 5.2% year-on-year. Excluding non-recurring revenue and at a constant exchange rate, revenue would have risen by 9.5%.

This performance reflects: - Expansion of in-orbit resources during the previous fiscal year, with the opening of three new neighbourhoods: 7 degrees West (ATLANTIC BIRD(TM) 4), 4 degrees East (EUROBIRD(TM) 4) and 9 degrees East (EUROBIRD(TM) 9), bringing 43 additional operational transponders during the current fiscal year(3); - Strong momentum of Video Applications, illustrated by the continued increase of channels broadcast by the Group's satellites for DTH (Direct-to-Home) reception and for feeding cable and DTT networks; - Continued take-up of Value Added Services, notably sustained by deployment of the D-STAR service, by mobile broadband services for transport markets and also by the launch of the first offers of the TOOWAY(TM) satellite consumer broadband service. Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Financial Situation and Objectives

In view of its performance, Eutelsat Communications is revising upwards its revenue objective for the current fiscal year: the Group now targets revenue between 860 and 870 million euros compared with the previous objective of 850 to 860 million euros.

The Group maintains its EBITDA margin objective for the current fiscal year at above 78%, confirming its strong financial situation.

Recent Significant Events: Insurance Policy Signed for the Launch of all Satellites in Procurement

In April 2008, Eutelsat concluded one of the largest insurance packages by a Fixed Satellite Services operator. The highly favourable conditions of this contract, which covers insurance "launch plus one year in orbit" of the Group's seven satellites currently in construction equips Eutelsat with the possibility to use the full range of launch vehicles available in the market. It delivers the Group maximum flexibility in the deployment of its in-orbit expansion programme over the coming three years.

Camtek Announces First Quarter 2008 ResultsGrowth in Revenues, Gross Margin and Net Income

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Camtek Ltd. , today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

The Company reported revenues for the first quarter of $21.3 million, an increase of 47% over the $14.5 million reported in the first quarter of last year and a slight increase sequentially from the $21.0 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2008 improved to 44.5%, as compared to 41.5% for the first quarter of 2007, and 43.7% for the fourth quarter of 2007.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2008 was $114 thousand (0.5% of revenues), compared with an operating loss of $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and an operating income of $126 thousand (0.6% of revenues) in the prior quarter.

The Company's profitability was affected by strong devaluation of the US dollar against the Israeli shekel in the first quarter of 2008, which increased Israel-based shekel costs in dollar terms. However, the company hedged its dollar/shekel exposure and subsequently reported increased financial income which compensated for the increase in expenses due to the devaluation of the dollar.

Financial income in the quarter of $467 thousand, compared with $133 thousand in the first quarter of 2007 and $66 thousand in the prior quarter.

Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $493 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share. This is compared to a net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.14 per share, in the first quarter of 2007. For the previous quarter in 2007, net income was $247 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share.

The Company reported a positive operating cash flow of $307 thousand in the quarter. As of March 31st, 2008, the Company reported a net cash and equivalents of $20.7 million as compared with $20.0 million at December 31st, 2007.

"We are satisfied with our first quarter results, especially with the increase in profitability and positive cash flow", commented Rafi Amit, Camtek's CEO. "We maintained our revenues at similar level to that of the last two quarters in spite of the on-going macroeconomic situation and the weakness of the electronic industry. Our activity in the PCB sector has been stable, while we recorded a slight increase in revenues from the semiconductors manufacturing and packaging industry. We attribute this growth to technology-driven demand for our wafer inspection systems.

Mr. Amit continued, "Following our continuous investment in R&D, we have recently introduced three new lines of inspection systems: Planet, for ultra-fine line PCB panels; Mustang for finished boards of mobile products; and Falcon 1000, enhanced performance wafer inspection systems. Products from all the new lines have already been sold to customers.

"At the same time, we continue to look for additional growth opportunities - both internal and external - in related markets into which we can leverage our technologies and global organization."

Mr. Amit concluded, "We expect second quarter revenues at a similar level to that of the current quarter, between $20 and 22 million."

The Company also announced the appointment of Roy Porat to the newly created position of General Manager at the Company's headquarters in Israel. Roy's previous role was President of Camtek HK, where he oversaw all of Camtek's activities in Asia. Aharon Sela, previously VP of Sales at Camtek Europe, was appointed to replace Mr. Porat in Camtek HK.

The Company generated a gross margin of 20.8% in the first quarter 2008, versus 23.7% in the same period of 2007.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were US$1.6 million (RMB 11.2 million), compared with RMB 6.2 million in same period 2007. The increase was mainly due to the increased legal expenses related to ongoing litigation and increased staffing costs.

Administrative expenses increased to US$1.1 million (RMB 7.7 million) from RMB 2.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.

Anti-Dumping Case Updates

In April, the Company received notice of a preliminary anti-dumping assessment issued by the Korean Trade Commission (KTC). The initial assessment of the tariff rate for Fuwei was 6.13%, versus 24.37% for Chinese companies on average.

The KTC began its anti-dumping investigation of BOPET film products from China and India in November 2007. After studying the trade practices of six Chinese BOPET manufacturers, including Fuwei, and several Indian manufacturers, the KTC issued its preliminary tariff assessment. Fuwei was notified by the KTC that its tarrif rate will be 6.13%, the single-lowest rate received among all the Chinese and Indian manufacturers involved in the investigation. KTC will announce a formal resolution of the anti-dumping case in the summer, upon which the new rates will become effective.

"The decision reached by the KTC is expected to strengthen Fuwei's reputation as a Chinese exporter of BOPET films to Korea," said Mr. Xiaoan He, Chairman and CEO of Fuwei. "Fuwei first entered the Korean market in 2005 and since then we have been adding higher-end specialty film products to our export offerings, which makes our products less liable for the anti-dumping case. While tariffs have always been a distortion of the market force, we expect the Korean assessment to work to our advantage to further expand our presence in the overseas market."

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Commerce has also informed the Company of its preliminary assessment of dumping margins, which has been set at 46.82%, also the lowest among Chinese companies investigated. The Department of Commerce is expected to make its final determination in July 2008.

NetDragon annonce ses premiers résultats trimestriels de 2008 : le chiffre d'affaires grimpe de 63,7 %, comparativement à la mÃªme période de l'année dernière

HONG KONG, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

L'un des principaux développeurs et exploitants de jeux vidéo en RPC, NetDragon Websoft Inc. (<< NetDragon >> ou la << Société >>, avec toutes ses filiales, le << Groupe >> ; code boursier : 8288.HK), a présenté aujourd'hui ses résultats non vérifiés pour les trois mois clos le 31 mars 2008 (la << période considérée >>), représentant ses premiers résultats trimestriels de 2008.

Les faits marquants -- Le chiffre d'affaires total s'élève à approximativement 175 556 000 RMB, ce qui représente une augmentation de près de 63,7 %, comparativement à la mÃªme période de l'année précédente. -- Les bénéfices bruts et les bénéfices de la période étaient d'approximativement 159 023 000 RMB et 69 934 000 RMB respectivement, ce qui représente des augmentations de près de 57,7 % et 19,6 % par rapport à la période correspondante de 2007. -- Les directeurs ne recommandent aucun paiement de dividendes intermédiaires pour les trois mois clos le 31 mars 2008.

Principaux faits financiers et commerciaux

L'augmentation du chiffre d'affaires total du Groupe est essentiellement due à la popularité continue de ses principaux jeux tels que Conquer Online, Eudemons Online, Zero Online et Tou Ming Zhuang Online. Afin d'améliorer la qualité de ces jeux, le Groupe a permis aux joueurs de télécharger gratuitement des mises à niveau pour chacun d'entre eux, et ce chaque semaine.

Eudemons Online -- Ce jeu est un jeu de rôle en ligne massivement multi-joueurs (MMORPG) 2.5D qui s'adresse aux joueurs appréciant les jeux de fiction avec des personnages diaboliques, et il a été lancé à la fin du mois de mars 2006. Le chiffre d'affaires qu'il a généré pendant la période considérée s'élève à approximativement 105,4 millions RMB, ce qui représente une augmentation de près de 37,4 %, comparativement à la mÃªme période de l'année précédente, et un apport général au chiffre d'affaires total du Groupe d'environ 60 %. Durant la période de référence, le jeu a obtenu un PCU (Peak Concurrent User) et un ACU (Average Concurrent User) de 479 000 et 210 000 respectivement, ce qui représente une hausse de près de 9,4 % et une baisse de près de 1,4 % respectivement, lorsqu'on les compare à la mÃªme période de l'année dernière. Le Groupe a également conclu un accord de concession de licence avec UserJoy Technology Co., Ltd. pour l'exploitation d'une version en chinois traditionnel d'Eudemons Online à TaÃ¯wan. Selon les prévisions, le jeu sera lancé à TaÃ¯wan cet été.

Conquer Online -- Ce jeu est un MMORPG 2.5D visant les joueurs qui apprécient les jeux évoquant l'esprit héroÃ¯que de l'ancienne ère guerrière, et il a été lancé en septembre 2003. Au cours de la période considérée, il a généré un chiffre d'affaires de près de 39,4 millions de RMB, et il a apporté approximativement 22,4 % du chiffre d'affaires total du Groupe. Ce jeu a obtenu un PCU et un ACU de près de 99 000 et 64 000 respectivement durant la période de référence, ce qui représente des augmentations respectives de près de 16,5 % et de 4,9 % par rapport à la mÃªme période de l'année précédente.

Zero Online -- Ce jeu est un MMORPG 2.5D destiné aux joueurs qui apprécient les jeux de combats de robots, et il a été lancé à la fin du mois d'avril 2007. Le chiffre d'affaires généré par Zero Online durant la période de référence est de l'ordre de 19,3 millions RMB approximativement, et il a apporté près de 11 % du chiffre d'affaires total du Groupe. Il a obtenu un PCU et un ACU de près de 67 000 et 30 000 respectivement, durant la période de référence. Le Groupe a également conclu un accord de concession de licence avec Wayi International Digital pour l'exploitation d'une version en chinois traditionnel de Zero Online à TaÃ¯wan.

Tou Ming Zhuang Online -- Ce jeu est un MMORPG basé sur le film en costumes orientaux du mÃªme nom qui a été produit grâce aux efforts conjoints de NetDragon et de China Film Group. Le jeu a été lancé à la fin de l'année 2007 et il a déjà généré près de 11,2 millions de RMB de chiffre d'affaires, en apportant approximativement 6,4 % du chiffre d'affaires total du Groupe durant la période de référence. Il a obtenu un PCU et un ACU de près de 24 000 et de 9 000 respectivement, durant la période considérée.

Sur la base de ses résultats exceptionnels et de ses perspectives extrÃªmement favorables pour un futur développement, le Groupe a été reconnu en janvier 2008 comme l'une des meilleures petites et moyennes entreprises chinoises de 2008 (<< China's Best Small and Medium Sized Enterprises 2008 >>) par Forbes, la revue financière de renommée internationale (édition chinoise). En outre, le tout dernier jeu du Groupe, << Way of the Five >>, a été officiellement reconnu par le Ministère chinois de la culture comme un << jeu en ligne qui convient aux enfants >>. De plus, les valeurs mobilières de la Société seront cotées à l'indice MSCI Chine à la fin du mois de mai 2008.

Perspectives commerciales

Actuellement, le Groupe développe activement trois MMORPG 2.5D, à savoir << Heroes of Might and Magic Online >>, << Way of the Five >> et << Tian Yuan >>. Selon les prévisions, << Heroes of Might and Magic Online >> et << Way of the Five >> seront lancés au cours du second trimestre de cette année, tandis que << Tian Yuan >> devrait Ãªtre commercialisé au troisième trimestre.

M. Liu Dejian, président de NetDragon, a conclu : << En attendant, nous poursuivrons nos efforts afin de renforcer encore plus les capacités de développement de nos principaux jeux. Nous le ferons en recrutant des développeurs de jeux plus expérimentés, en mettant au point un logiciel de développement de jeux pour remplacer certaines opérations manuelles, et en achetant quelques ordinateurs supplémentaires et certains logiciels nécessaires pour le développement de jeux avancé. Nous consoliderons également notre position actuelle de leader grâce à différentes stratégies commerciales. >>

<< En outre, le conseil a demandé d'avoir ses actions cotées sur le tableau principal de la bourse de Hong Kong en guise de présentation, une démarche qui pourrait offrir de nouvelles avancées pour notre futur développement commercial.>>

In addition, the company is planning to soon launch new country access points in Estonia, Latvia, Romania and the Middle East. This continued expansion is designed to ensure customers have access to conferencing services from all key business centers around the world, supporting customers' evolving business needs.

"Achieving cost-effective global collaboration continues to be a key objective for multinational corporations," said Roberta Mackintosh, executive director, global voice, Verizon Business. "More access points make it easier for companies to cost-effectively enhance their productivity and business performance as they expand in high-growth economies around the world."

Mackintosh concluded, "Our customers are showing more interest than ever in collaboration. With growing awareness of the impact of business travel on the environment, companies are experiencing increased pressure from customers, employees and regulatory bodies to reduce their overall carbon footprint. Our audio-conferencing service is part of an integrated and expanding portfolio of collaboration solutions, which are designed to support our customers' own business needs."

Dr. Henry Samueli and David A. Dull Take Leaves of Absence as Executive Officers of BroadcomDr. Samueli also Resigns from the Broadcom Board of Directors

IRVINE, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation announced today that Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Henry Samueli, and Senior Vice President and General Counsel, David A. Dull, have each taken leaves of absence as executive officers of Broadcom pending resolution of a civil complaint filed against them today by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its previously- disclosed investigation of Broadcom's historical stock option granting practices.

Also pending resolution of the civil action, Dr. Samueli has resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. The Board has named John E. Major, an independent director of the company since January 2003, to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Mr. Major made the following statement:

"While we will not be commenting on the allegations made in the SEC's complaint against Henry and David, or against other former Broadcom employees, it is important to note that the government's charges pertain to events that occurred half a decade to nearly a decade ago."

"In mid-2003 the company significantly strengthened its equity award practices, putting into place rigorous processes for equity awards. We believe that the company's current practices are among the best anywhere. In early 2007, our Audit Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, engaged independent counsel to determine that Broadcom's current equity granting processes are appropriate and sound and have been consistently adhered to since June 2003."

"The Board is also confident that the company has built strong teams under the office of the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and within the Legal Department that will discharge the daily business of the company and carry forward our strategic initiatives without missing a beat."

While Dr. Samueli and Mr. Dull are on leaves of absences from their elected officer posts (CTO and Senior Vice President and General Counsel, respectively), they will continue to serve as non-officer employees of the company, reporting to President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. McGregor, in their areas of expertise - Dr. Samueli in technology and Mr. Dull in strategic initiatives and litigation matters. They will not be involved in matters dealing with corporate governance, the company's financial reporting or public disclosures, and will no longer have the power to bind the Company under agreements. Dr. Samueli will not be standing for re-election to the Board of Directors at the company's 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Last month, Broadcom entered into a settlement with the SEC relating to the SEC's investigation of Broadcom's historical stock option granting practices. Without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Broadcom agreed to pay a civil penalty of $12 million. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California approved the settlement at the end of April 2008, thus concluding the SEC's investigation of this matter with respect to Broadcom.

Note to Editors

Broadcom's President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. McGregor, joined the company in January 2005. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Eric K. Brandt joined Broadcom in March 2007.
