Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Operating Results

CINCINNATI, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. , today announced the financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 ended April 30, 2008.

Revenues for the first quarter were $3.6 million, compared with $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company reported a net loss of $814,662, or $(0.09) per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $443,312, or $(0.05) per fully diluted share in the first quarter of the previous year.

Professional services revenues increased by 43% as we began to install several systems from our backlog. The Company expects professional services revenues to continue to increase in the coming quarters. As expected, there was one major system sale that closed during the first quarter of 2008; however, it did not impact revenues, as this transaction involves the future deliverable of multi-language capabilities. We anticipate an announcement regarding this major system sale sometime within our second quarter. As a result of the deferral of the software license revenue for this transaction, software license sales were lower. The comparable quarter last year included software license revenue of approximately $300,000.

During the quarter the Company expanded its direct sales force and added two new Account Executives in order to more fully develop our reach within the hospital information technology market and compliment the sales achieved through our two primary distribution partners. The hiring of these additional personnel brings to nine (9) the numbers of sales professionals in the Company's direct sales force, which is supported by an additional eight (8) sales support personnel. The Company also continues to pursue the expansion of our solutions to address the document management and workflow requirements in other market segments such as state and local governments.

Brian Patsy, president and chief executive officer of Streamline Health, commented, "We are pleased with the results of the quarter as they were in- line with our expectations. Historically, the first two quarters of our fiscal year are not the strongest quarters primarily because software license purchases traditionally tend to skew toward the end of the year, and the results of this quarter certainly reflected that pattern."

"However, looking ahead, we are beginning to see indications, in conjunction with our distribution partners, that a number of system sales to new customers will close during the second quarter and subsequently have a beneficial impact to our first half results. We continue to be very pleased with the relationships that we have with our primary distribution partners, GE Healthcare and Emergis. They are doing a great job at proposing and integrating our workflow solutions into the systems they install for their customers. We could not have a better set of partners."

"As it relates to product development, we continue to invest in an architecture platform that enhances the capabilities of our solutions to seamlessly integrate into the healthcare enterprise," continued Mr. Patsy. "The first version of our next generation architecture, which includes six key architectural elements, has been completed, and we are currently building multiple workflow solutions on this new architectural platform. The first of these workflow solutions, Financial Screening Workflow(TM), is complete and is in Beta testing with our Beta partner. Later in the year we expect to introduce an upgraded version of our flagship "accessANYware(TM)" system that will provide greater functionality, and will eventually feature multi-language capabilities as early as fiscal year 2009. This will be critical in expanding into international markets in the coming years."

Mr. Patsy concluded, "In addition to enabling the linkage of documents with clinical, financial and administrative systems within the healthcare enterprise, we expect that our continuing investment in developing our next generation architecture will realize shorter development cycles, better productivity, and more frequent product releases in the Workflow solution family. We are dedicated to maintaining a strong research and development effort as we expect to expand our product offerings to address the needs of other market segments, both domestically and internationally. We believe this new architecture will set the stage for improved operating and financial performance going forward. We expect 2008 to be a solid year and we look forward to the opportunities ahead in the coming years."

China GrenTech Corporation Limited Announces First Quarter 2008 Results

SHENZHEN, China, May 19 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China GrenTech Corporation Limited (Nasdaq: GRRF, "the Company", or "GrenTech"), a leading China-based radio frequency ("RF") technology and product developer and a leading wireless coverage products and services provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

First Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights -- Total revenue increased by 128.2% over the first quarter 2007 to RMB71.4 million (US$10.2 million)(1) Revenue from wireless coverage products and services was RMB52.1 million (US$7.4 million), an increase of 149.1% over the first quarter 2007 Revenue from base station RF products increased 86.1% over the first quarter 2007 to RMB19.3 million (US$2.8 million) -- Gross profit was RMB22.0 million (US$3.1 million), an increase of 69.2% over the first quarter 2007 -- Operating loss was RMB36.3 million (US$5.2 million), a decrease of 14.0% from the first quarter 2007 -- Net loss was RMB41.5 million (US$5.9 million), a decrease of 7.3% from the first quarter 2007 -- Net loss per ADS(2) was RMB1.69 (US$0.24) (1) The Company's reporting currency is Renminbi ("RMB"). The translation of amounts from RMB to United States dollars is solely for the convenience of the reader. RMB numbers included in this press release have been translated into U.S. dollars at the noon buying rate for U.S. Dollars in effect on March 31, 2008 in the City of New York for cable transfers in RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which was US$1.00=RMB7.0120. No representation is made that RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. Dollars at that rate or at any other rate on March 31, 2008. (2) Each ADS represents 25 of our ordinary shares.

Mr. Yingjie Gao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GrenTech, commented, "I am proud to announce strong top line year-over-year growth from both our wireless coverage and our base station RF businesses. In the first quarter of 2008, we obtained additional wireless coverage business from China Mobile and China Unicom, and played a key role in China Mobile's construction of WLAN networks for the 2008 Beijing Olympic cities. We also recognized revenue from China Mobile derived from the construction projects commenced in the fourth quarter 2007, which collectively enhanced our wireless coverage segment. Our RF business also grew in this quarter, primarily due to increased demand for our base station RF modules from a domestic base station manufacturer.

"Traditionally, the first quarter is seasonally lowest for our Company in terms of revenues, as Chinese telecommunications operators tend to plan their equipment spending for the year during the first quarter. We are working to minimize the seasonal impact by diversifying our product and consumer base and we expect to see gradual improvements over the medium term."

Mr. Gao continued, "During this first quarter, we fully participated in the centralized bids for equipment supply orders with China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. I am delighted to report that we won several bids, including a bid with China Mobile to provide GSM wireless coverage equipment in 2008. This would potentially make our company one of the most important wireless coverage equipment suppliers for China Mobile in 2008. Additionally, we won a bid from China Unicom to provide wireless coverage equipment in 2008, which, we believe, will strengthen our position as China Unicom's key wireless coverage equipment supplier. We also won bids with China Mobile and China Telecom to provide WLAN equipment.

"While the adoption of centralized bidding policies by our major customers has lowered the gross margin on equipment sales, it has also, however, increased the gross margin of integration services, which are expected to make up a larger share of total project fees than previously. With our enhanced sales and marketing efforts, we are confident that we would enter more of China Mobile's regional integration service markets. China Unicom's move to implement centralized bidding in 2008 would also result in additional integrated services revenue for our Company, which would offset the adverse effect of lower equipment sales margin on our overall margin. In addition, the adoption of centralized bidding policies for equipment procurement may help shorten our equipment revenue recognition and payment collection cycle, and reduce our sales and marketing expenses.

"In the first quarter, we won bids to supply Huawei and ZTE with base station RF modules for six months in 2008. We also commenced shipments of RF module products to an international base station manufacturer on a trial basis. In addition, we successfully completed customer testing of our amplifier modules, filter modules and remote radio units ("RRU") for Phase II TD-SCDMA network construction, and we are well-prepared to supply base station RF modules and RRU products for Phase II TD-SCDMA network construction," concluded Mr. Gao.

First Quarter 2008 Unaudited Financial Results Revenue

Revenue for the first quarter 2008 was RMB71.4 million (US$10.2 million), an increase of RMB40.1 million (US$5.7 million), or 128.2%, over RMB31.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. This was primarily due to increased revenue generated from sales to China Mobile and increased sales of base station RF modules to a domestic base station manufacturer.

Revenue from wireless coverage products and services increased by 149.1%, from RMB20.9 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB52.1 million (US$7.4 million) in the first quarter 2008, mainly due to the recognition of integration service fees from China Mobile, and increased WLAN revenue generated from China Mobile's network construction in the Olympic cities. Our revenue from China Mobile in the first quarter 2008 increased by RMB24.0 million, or 342.8%, compared with the first quarter 2007.

Revenue from RF products increased by 86.1%, from RMB10.4 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB19.3 million in the first quarter 2008, primarily due to increased demand from a base station manufacturer in China.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 2008 Revenues Revenues Revenues % of Total (RMB'000) (RMB'000) (US$'000) Revenues Wireless Coverage Products & Services China Mobile 7,003 31,010 4,422 43.4 % China Unicom 8,736 16,102 2,296 22.6 % China Telecom 1,378 1,859 265 2.6 % China Netcom 999 775 111 1.1 % Overseas 376 2,273 324 3.2 % Non-operators 2,412 48 7 0.1 % Subtotal 20,904 52,067 7,425 73.0 % RF Products OEMs 10,382 19,322 2,756 27.0 % Total 31,286 71,389 10,181 100 % Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue in the first quarter 2008 was RMB49.4 million (US$7.0 million). The year-over-year cost of revenue increase of 170.0% was driven primarily by a higher volume of sales at lower price levels during the first quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by RMB3.1 million (US$0.4 million), or 5.6%, from RMB55.2 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB58.3 million (US$8.3 million) in the first quarter 2008. This was due to increased research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), or 16.1%, to RMB15.3 million (US$2.2 million) in the first quarter 2008. This was due to increased research material costs and the increased fixed asset amortization expenses related to the additional research equipment.

Sales and distribution expenses were RMB28.8 million (US$4.1 million), which remained stable compared to RMB28.6 million in the same period last year. Due to the implementation of centralized bidding policies by our major customers, the Company has shifted its sales focus away from provincial operators, which has reduced sales expenses.

General and administrative expenses were RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million) for the first quarter 2008, an increase of RMB0.8 million (US$0.1 million), or 5.6%, from RMB13.4 million in the first quarter 2007. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased fixed asset amortization related to the ERP system implementation. This was partially offset by a decrease in other administrative expenses, such as travelling fees and personnel costs.

Other Expenses/Income

Total other expenses were RMB12.5 million (US$1.8 million), an increase of 98.8% compared with RMB6.3 million in the first quarter 2007. This was mainly due to increased interest expenses and foreign exchange loss.

Interest income increased from RMB2.5 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB5.5 million (US$0.8 million) in the first quarter 2008, which was primarily due to the increase in effective interest income related to long-term accounts receivable.

Interest expense increased by 118.4% year-over-year to RMB13.2 million (US$1.9 million), which included RMB3.1 million in interest expenses related to increased bank loans and RMB3.4 million in expenses related to the sales of accounts receivable to banks in the fourth quarter 2007.

The foreign currency exchange loss was RMB7.0 million (US$1.0 million) in the first quarter 2008, compared with a loss of RMB2.8 million in the same period of the previous year. The Company has kept a portion of its foreign currency in offshore accounts, causing increased exchange losses as the RMB appreciated. The Company is in the process of obtaining approval from the Chinese government to exchange its foreign currency to RMB.

Earnings

Gross profit of RMB22.0 million (US$3.1 million) in the first quarter 2008 represented an increase of RMB9.0 million, or 69.2%. Gross margin was 30.8%, compared to 41.5% in the first quarter 2007. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to decreased equipment sales prices, and was partially offset by an improved integrated services gross margin.

Operating loss decreased from RMB42.2 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB36.3 million (US$5.2 million) in the first quarter 2008. The Company has typically reported an operating loss in the first quarter of each year due to seasonality in wireless coverage spending trends among Chinese telecom operators, and this year was no exception. However, the Company's results for the first quarter 2008 improved over its the first quarter 2007 results due to increased revenue and tighter control of sales and marketing expenses.

Net loss decreased from RMB44.8 million in the first quarter 2007 to RMB41.5 million (US$5.9 million) in the first quarter 2008.

Net loss per ADS was RMB1.69 (US$0.24). There are no dilutive potential ordinary shares in existence for the period ended March 31, 2008.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents and pledged time deposits decreased from RMB576.6 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB432.8 million (US$61.7 million) as of March 31, 2008, a decrease of RMB143.8 million, or 24.9%. This decrease was mainly attributable to the use of cash for working capital outlays for raw materials and operating overhead, as well as capital expenditures for plant and equipment purchases.

Total accounts receivable decreased by 4.3%, from RMB1,315.3 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB1,259.4 million (US$179.6 million) as of March 31, 2008. This decrease was mainly attributable to improved wireless coverage receivable collections and shortened RF business receivable timelines.

Inventories increased from RMB542.1 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB647.7 million (US$92.4 million) as of March 31, 2008, an increase of 19.5%. The increase was mainly due to increased RF product raw materials and an increase in the amount of wireless coverage product finished goods that have been shipped to customers but have not yet been recognized as revenue.

Total assets decreased by RMB55.9 million, or 1.9%, from RMB2,997.3 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB2,941.4 million (US$419.5 million) as of March 31, 2008, mainly due to decreases in total cash and total accounts receivable.

Total liabilities decreased by RMB14.2 million, or 1.0%, from RMB1,405.0 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB1,390.8 million (US$198.4 million) as of March 31, 2008. Current liabilities decreased by 1.1% to RMB1,234.9 million (US$176.1 million) as of March 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable. Long-term debt as of March 31, 2008 was RMB150.0 million (US$21.4 million), unchanged from December 31, 2007.

Business Outlook and Guidance for the Second Quarter 2008 Base Station RF Products

GrenTech believes that in the second quarter, revenue from the RF business will increase over the first quarter 2008, as the Company has won the bids from the two largest Chinese base station manufacturers and expects customer demand to increase in the second quarter 2008. Additionally, the Company will continue to supply RF modules to international base station manufacturers on a trial basis. Furthermore, following the successful completion of customer tests of its TD-SCDMA amplifier modules, RRU products and filter products, GrenTech is ready to support Phase II TD-SCDMA network construction.

Wireless Coverage Products and Services

The Company believes that second quarter wireless coverage revenue will increase significantly over the first quarter 2008, due to expected increased investments by China Mobile and China Unicom in wireless coverage network construction, as well as the Company's China Mobile and China Unicom contract wins for GSM wireless coverage equipment. The Company also believes that as it enters China Mobile's additional regional markets, including Guangxi and Heilongjiang provinces, it will increase integration service revenues in the second quarter. In addition, China Mobile will complete its WLAN network coverage construction for the six 2008 Beijing Olympic cities during the second quarter 2008, which, GrenTech believes would lead to revenue growth in the second quarter with a substantial increase in revenue from China Mobile.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company's management team will conduct a conference call on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 5:00 am (Pacific) / 8:00 am (Eastern) / 8:00 pm (Beijing/Hong Kong). A webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company's website at: http://www.grentech.com.cn/ .

Quest Diagnostics and Google Empower Patients and Physicians to Share Diagnostic Test Results Online With Launch of Google Health

MADISON, N.J., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Patients and physicians have a new way to share diagnostic laboratory data online, thanks to Quest Diagnostics and Google Health, a product launched today by Google. More than 100,000 physicians in the U.S. who use Quest Diagnostics' family of Care360(TM) connectivity products will be able to securely provide diagnostic data with a brief explanation of test results to a patient's Google Health Account, where a patient can maintain medical records and personal health information online. The new product is expected to empower patients and physicians to collaborate more closely in making more well-informed health care decisions based on diagnostic information. Quest Diagnostics Incorporated is the nation's leading provider of diagnostic testing, information and services, serving half of all physicians and hospitals in the U.S. and analyzing test results for more than 500,000 patients every day. Quest Diagnostics is the only diagnostic testing company collaborating with Google to launch Google Health.

"Diagnostic testing is the foundation of a patient's health record and a key driver of the health care decisions physicians make on behalf of their patients," said Stephen C. Suffin, M.D., interim chief laboratory officer and corporate medical director, clinical pathology, Quest Diagnostics. "Using Google Health, physicians will be able to more efficiently share important diagnostic data with their patients. As patients become better informed and proactive in managing their health care, they may be more likely to practice preventive care, adopt healthful behaviors and practice other measures that promote improved medical outcomes."

Google Health allows users to store, organize and manage their medical records and personal health information online. The collaboration will enable physicians who use Quest Diagnostics' Care360(TM) patient-centric physician portal to securely transfer, at a patient's request, diagnostic data in a HIPAA-compliant format into the patient's protected Google Health Account. Using Google's secure technology platform, patients will be able to use their account to access current and historical diagnostic laboratory records that include brief electronic messages from their physicians about test results.

Quest Diagnostics and Google established their collaboration because the companies share the same vision of giving patients greater access to personal health information so they can make more informed decisions about their care. The companies first announced their collaboration in February 2008, when Google announced a pilot of Google Health with a large delivery system. The product is publicly available to all U.S. users starting today.

According to The Markle Foundation, two in three Americans (65 percent) would like to access all of their medical information electronically to ensure accuracy, improve doctor-patient communications and help prevent medical errors. Two-thirds (68 percent) also said having health and medical information accessible online gives them more control over their own health.

Google Health complements Quest Diagnostics' commitment to physician- and patient-focused solutions. These include an option for patients to schedule diagnostic testing online and access to a comprehensive health library, available at http://www.questdiagnostics.com/. In addition, its Care360 family of connectivity products allow physicians to access diagnostic test results online, share clinically relevant information in a HIPAA-compliant manner and electronically prescribe medications.

New EMC Backup Offerings Control Data Growth and Increase Efficiency Using Latest TechnologiesNew Data De-Duplication, Disk Drive Spin Down Capabilities and Low Power Drives Help Lower Costs and Reduce Backup and Recovery Challenges

LAS VEGAS, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC WORLD -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today unveiled a number of new backup offerings that help ease the burden that data centers are facing in dealing with the ever expanding digital universe. These new solutions, introduced to thousands of attendees at EMC World, leverage the latest technologies including data de-duplication, disk drive spin down and low-power disk drives, and continue to help dramatically lower the cost of disk-based backup versus tape. EMC offers the industry's broadest set of hardware, software, and services that meet the world's digital backup, recovery and archiving needs, from individual consumers to the world's largest data centers.

The new products and capabilities include: -- EMC Disk Library 3D 1500 and 3000 -- New local area network (LAN) backup-to-disk systems targeted at midsize businesses and featuring policy-based data de-duplicated backup, EMC five-9s (99.999%) storage platform and IP replication to help customers ensure availability, reduce the amount of backup data and meet off-site protection requirements without physically transporting tapes. -- EMC Disk Library 4000 -- EMC's market leading open systems virtual tape library (VTL) now features data de-duplication, spin down and the latest high-capacity, low-power disk drives to reduce power and cooling by up to 47%. -- EMC Avamar(R) Data Store Gen 2 and EMC Avamar 4.0 -- The newest versions of EMC's next generation backup and recovery solution, featuring global source-based data de-duplication technology, provide a host of new scale, support, and ease-of-use features, including a doubling of backup capacity per system. Now, customers use up to 43% less energy per terabyte backed up and reduce total cost of ownership by up to 25% compared to the first generation solution -- and by up to 75% relative to tape. This makes it easier to manage more information and eliminate the strain on the infrastructure caused by backing up duplicate copies of data on a regular basis. -- EMC NetWorker(R) Fast Start -- A new, simplified package of EMC's leading NetWorker backup software designed for growing midsize businesses that cuts deployment time by as much as 75% and decreases the number of installation steps by up to 80%. The software provides a single backup solution for one price, with one model, and one simple installation.

Norton Healthcare, the largest healthcare system in Kentucky and one of the top 100 integrated healthcare delivery systems in the U.S., is a large user of EMC's backup, recovery and archive portfolio. Sean O'Mahoney, Norton's Manager of Client/Server Information Systems, said, "Today's announcement demonstrates why EMC is a leader in the backup, recovery and archive market. They have set a tremendous foundation by delivering market and industry leading solutions like EMC Disk Library, EMC NetWorker and EMC Backup Advisor and EMC Centera."

O'Mahoney added, "Now, by adding key cost-saving features like data de-duplication, spin-down and low power drives to an already robust portfolio, EMC continues to make it easy for us to be proactive and not reactive in the management of our data protection environment. EMC understands it's not one size fits all and that's why they've had a crucial relationship with Norton for years -- and will continue to -- as they help us transform and evolve our backup, recovery and archive infrastructure one byte at a time."

Lauren Whitehouse, Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, said, "Backup poses a number of different customer challenges depending on the use case, service level requirements and what's currently implemented in the environment. EMC's strategy of delivering new features like de-dupe that can be performed at the client through the backup solution stack and at the target storage destination will help them address a number of customer requirements where their competitors are left flat footed -- either with no solution or a solution that isn't tailored for a specific use case. Today's announcement emphasizes the strength of their portfolio and that they can deliver data protection solutions to customers of all sizes and environments."

EMC Disk Library 3D 1500 and 3000 -- New LAN Backup-to-Disk Platforms Leveraging Data De-duplication

The EMC Disk Library 3D (DL3D) 1500 and 3000 are new backup-to-disk libraries with data de-duplication, targeted at midsize, LAN-based environments. The DL3D 1500 provides up to 36 TB of usable capacity, while the DL3D 3000 provides up to 148 TB of usable capacity. Both systems use 1 TB SATA disks with RAID 6 protection and include optional Fibre Channel ports for storage area network (SAN) connectivity.

All data de-duplication is policy-based, and can take place during the backup process or be shut off for a defined time period to speed ingest rates, helping customers tailor de-duplication policies to meet the needs of their different applications. Replication of de-duplicated data saves on bandwidth costs, providing customers an affordable and secure way to implement offsite protection and recovery.

EMC Disk Library 4000 -- New De-duplication and Disk Drive Spin Down Options with Low Power Drives

As the industry's leader in VTLs -- with more than 245 PB shipped to 1,350 customers (through the end of Q1 2008) -- the EMC Disk Library (DL) 4000 series is targeted at environments that require the highest performance for larger SAN environments. The new policy-based data de-duplication option allows Disk Library 4000 customers to maintain performance service levels for backups, while reducing backup storage growth and lowering the costs of backup data residing on disk. This new option provides an opportunity to increase utilization and reduce replication costs, making the elimination of tape more practical for DL 4000 customers.

The new disk drive spin down option for the DL 4000 series is free and enables customers to reduce their overall power and cooling costs in a typical environment by 19% by putting idle drives in sleep mode. In addition, new and existing DL 4000 customers can take advantage of the new low power 5400 rpm 1 TB SATA drives which require 32% less energy than 7,200 rpm drives. Combining both spin down with the low power drives in a new DL 4000 system will consume up to 47% less energy.

These new features and options are backwards compatible to previous DL4000 models, enhancing investment protection for current customers.

EMC Avamar Data Store Gen 2 and EMC Avamar 4.0 -- Increased Capacity Helps Reduce Energy Costs and Improves TCO

Ideal for VMware, large file servers, remote offices and other environments where the backup process is hampered by network or other resource bottlenecks, the new versions of Avamar help customers shrink their backup requirements while reducing power and cooling costs per terabyte by up to 43% compared to the first generation solution. In its first full year under EMC, the Avamar business tripled its customer base and is playing a significant role in EMC's Backup, Recovery and Archive practice as the leading backup solution for source-based data de-duplication.

The new Avamar Data Store Gen 2 is a fully integrated product consisting of the new Avamar V4.0 source-based data de-duplication backup and recovery software running on a new-generation, pre-configured, EMC-certified hardware platform. Avamar Data Store Gen 2 is available in several models, ranging from single node to scalable, multi-node. The new solution provides twice the capacity per server node of the previous generation. For example, a fully configured Avamar Data Store Gen 2 can provide enough capacity to store the equivalent of 1 Petabyte of non-de-duplicated, traditional backup capacity. Doubling the capacity per system helps customers use fewer systems, consequently driving smaller data center footprint and reducing overall total cost of ownership by up to 25% over the previous generation of Avamar and by up to 75% relative to tape.

In addition, the new Avamar software now supports 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and offers expanded client support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005; Microsoft Vista; Native Netware client backup and restore (Netware V6.5); and Novell Storage Servers (NSS) volumes on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) SLES 10.

EMC NetWorker Fast Start -- Full Version of NetWorker for Midsize Customers

NetWorker Fast Start is an integrated, packaged offering designed to simplify licensing, installation, and set-up for midsize customers. NetWorker Fast Start is ideal for mid-tier customers who want to start out with a basic deployment of an enterprise-class backup application -- at an affordable price -- that can scale to support other integrated features such as de-duplication, CDP, backup analytics and more. NetWorker Fast Start offers one part number that delivers a NetWorker server (Linux or Windows), 20 clients, support for five applications modules for hot backups (choice of Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange, and Oracle), 10 TB backup-to-disk or backup to EMC Disk Library, 40 slot Autochanger, and 40 hours of video instructor-led training.

Mark Sorenson, Senior Vice President of EMC's Information Management Software Group, said, "Today's announcement continues EMC's momentum in the backup and recovery market, allowing us to offer customers both integrated backup and recovery solutions and best-of-breed standalone products. By adding key features like data de-duplication across our portfolio, customers can eliminate redundant data, move more easily to disk backup, and strengthen the management of their backup infrastructures. This differentiates EMC from other vendors who must 'force-fit' a single product across a range of de- duplication use cases. As data growth continues to create challenges for customers of any size, the breadth of the EMC portfolio ensures that customers will have the right solution for their backup and recovery needs."

Additional Customer and Partner Quotes EMC Customer -- Tiger Direct

Tiger Direct, a provider of computer and IT equipment, is a beta tester and early adopter of the EMC Disk Library 3D 1500. Mark Pacetti, Vice President of Information Technology, Tiger Direct, said, "After reviewing a number of different LAN backup-to-disk solutions, we were blown away by the overall performance of the EMC Disk Library 3D 1500. The way EMC has developed this solution -- leveraging policy-based data de-dupe on the front end with an EMC CLARiiON(R) -- makes a lot of sense as we need a platform that can provide simple and easy-to-use backup and recovery management, with the highest levels of availability. We are excited about our continued use of this product and look forward to working with EMC on its next-generation backup, recovery and archive portfolio."

EMC Customer -- Orange

"For years, we've turned to EMC NetWorker and EMC Backup Advisor for our backup and recovery needs, and are now looking forward to leveraging EMC Disk Library with its new de-dupe and spin down options," said Douglas Bovie, Head of Backup & Archive Engineering Worldwide, Orange. "By adding Disk Library to our already powerful EMC backup deployment, we believe we can continue improving service levels, stabilize information growth on disk, and reduce energy consumption in our data center. EMC does a great job of integrating new and exciting technologies in their tried-and-true products, without disrupting current investments in the data center."

EMC Customer -- Brown Forman

"As an independent, publicly-traded producer and marketer of premium spirits and wines, including Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky, it's paramount for us to be able to centrally manage our backup and recovery efforts for 31 remote sites across the Unites States and 24 countries," said Greg Tinnell, Senior IT Manager at Brown Forman. "Since leveraging EMC Avamar's backup and recovery solutions and de-duplication technology in our remote offices and VMware environments, we've been able to improve our backup success rate to almost 100% while decreasing backup windows from hours to minutes. The latest additions in the Avamar family continue to reinforce our commitment to EMC's backup and recovery strategy as they help us reduce backup infrastructure costs, improve backup and restore reliability and performance, and reduce our storage footprint."

EMC Customer -- The CharacterShop

"As an award-winning U.K. animation studio and production company, our business is based on the creation of digital assets which are growing rapidly due to the adoption of high definition broadcasting," said Mark Vale, Production Director at The CharacterShop. "We needed a backup and recovery solution that was not only easy to implement and use, but would allow us to scale as our business and digital assets grew. EMC NetWorker Fast Start was not only easy to install, but had an immediate return on performance and scalability. In addition, NetWorker Fast Start's built in web-based reporting gives us a good measurement of backup success and for the first time allows us to monitor performance and growth. This solution gives us a high degree of confidence that our value to customers will be protected as the business evolves."

EMC Partner -- AdvizeX

"EMC has really raised the bar again with these new Avamar offerings," said C.R. Howdyshell, Vice President/General Manager, Midwest Region at AdvizeX. "Customers need to maximize the effectiveness of their resources and by doubling the de-duplicated storage capacity in the Avamar Data Store Gen 2 and expanding supported client operating systems, we have powerful solutions to meet this demand."

EMC Partner -- ICI

"We are very excited about the new sales opportunities EMC NetWorker Fast Start brings to our business in the midsize and small business space," said Jamie Shepard, Vice President, Technology Solutions at ICI. "The technology, overall package and price point are very attractive and game changing to customers who want the proven technology that NetWorker offers but don't have the resources to manage complex installations and configurations. The default settings allow customers the luxury of set it and forget it, eliminating the need for a NetWorker administrator to effectively manage their backup environment."

Tasker Products Receives Authorization from USDA for its Tasker Clear for use in Meat and Pork IndustriesCompany can now market product to poultry, red meat and pork processing industries

FAIR LAWN, N.J., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tasker Products Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: TKER) , a distributor and marketer of proprietary technology effective in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, today announced that it has received authorization from the Food Safety and Inspection Service ("FSIS") of the United States Food and Drug Administration ("USDA") to market its Tasker Clear product as a processing aid in the red meat and pork processing industries. This comes on the heels of receiving similar authorization to market Tasker Clear to the poultry industry.

Tasker Clear is a liquid application that aids in the control of pH levels in water used in various protein (meat, poultry and pork) processing. The product is considered "safe and suitable", according to the FSIS, when used in the processing of red and white meats. Tasker Clear, when used in combination with Chlorine as an acidifier, becomes an acidified chlorine, which is a safe and widely used antimicrobial. The Company intends to market Tasker Clear in multiple sections of meat processing, from pre-carcass treatment to rapid chilling and in the ensuing "secondary processing" sections during which meat is separated into primal sections, finished product, tenderized, marinated, or ground.

Lanny Dacus, Tasker's president and CEO, commented, "This authorization extends Tasker marketing efforts to include red meat, poultry and pork processors, while working through testing processes of Tasker Blue for other meat processing applications. We have already received an order for Tasker Clear from a red meat processor. Tasker Clear applications for red meat and poultry processing are effective and cost competitive. Because of the existing worldwide use of acidifiers in meat processing, we intend to expand our market boundaries beyond the United States. We also intend to vertically expand our line of applications similar to what we did with our dairy line of products."

Mr. Dacus added, "It is estimated that the meat and pork market opportunity alone exceeds $200 million in annual revenue in the United States. As we announced yesterday, our goal is to establish Tasker products as a leading player in the food processing and dairy industries. Our goal is to gain a 20% market share in each category we enter."

About Tasker Products

Tasker is a manufacturer, distributor and marketer of acid-based eco-chemistry products. The Company currently markets Unifresh(R) Footbath products for dairy cows, Tasker Blue(R) and Tasker Clear, antibacterial solutions for use in processing poultry, and Pacific Blue(TM) Seafood Spray, an antibacterial spray for retail seafood counters. Tasker Products Corp. is headquartered in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. To be added to the news distribution list or to present any questions, send an email to tasker@grannusfinancial.com.

These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and performances, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from those made in or suggested by any forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, for example, our ability to obtain new financing and/or generate revenue growth in the near future; our history of losses; our limited experience in the marketing of our products; our ability to compete with other products in our market space; and the risk of unfavorable federal regulation. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Townsend and Pepperell, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

TOWNSEND, Mass., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Middlesex County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Routes 113 and 119 in Townsend and Pepperell, Massachusetts, as well as the surrounding area.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high- speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high- population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Cascade Microtech Announces Strategic Initiative to Maximize Lab and Fab Investments via Fully Integrated Measurement SystemsNew approach includes measurement accuracy assurance

BEAVERTON, Ore., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In response to the ever-increasing cost associated with developing new process nodes, today Cascade Microtech announced a new initiative to develop integrated measurement systems for on-wafer semiconductor device characterization and process development. This innovative approach results in increased performance and accuracy as well as better, faster service and support and renders obsolete the traditional practice of bolting together system elements from multiple vendors.

Because each system is designed from the ground up to optimize measurement capability, Cascade Microtech's integrated measurement systems offer the industry's only certified measurement accuracy. The first such system, also being announced today, is the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System (see press release dated May 19, 2008: Cascade Microtech Offers Industry's First Fully Integrated Flicker Noise Measurement System).

"When it comes to highly sensitive measurements, the traditional approach of piecing together a system is simply not good enough," said Cascade Microtech CEO Geoff Wild. "Our customers need solutions that are going to solve their problems, not create new ones. Only truly integrated measurement systems can give our customers the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing they are going to get accurate and repeatable results."

"Chartered sees potential benefit in fully integrated measurement systems, such as guaranteed measurement accuracy and single-vendor support, which would translate into a more secure investment for companies like Chartered," said Dr. Sanford Chu, vice president, device technology division, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing. "We applaud Cascade Microtech for taking the initiative to bring a more integrated approach to on-wafer semiconductor device characterization and process development."

Cascade Microtech's first integrated measurement system, the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System, tackles the very difficult challenge of accurately identifying flicker noise, an illusive measurement to obtain. In addition, Cascade Microtech has identified a number of other critical measurement challenges it believes are best solved via integrated measurement systems, which it will roll out in the coming months.

Cascade Microtech Offers Industry's First Fully Integrated Flicker Noise Measurement SystemEDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System is Certified Accurate from 1Hz to 30 MHz

BEAVERTON, Ore., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With the cost of developing each new semiconductor manufacturing process node escalating dramatically and time to market pressures increasing, there is no longer room for error in measuring critical parameters such as flicker noise. Recognizing these market realities and their impact on semiconductor manufacturers, Cascade Microtech today introduced the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System, the only flicker noise measurement system that is certified to provide accurate measurements from 1Hz to 30 MHz.

In addition, the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System is the industry's only fully integrated measurement system. In contrast to traditional flicker noise measurement solutions, which are bolted-together systems comprising system elements from up to five different vendors, the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System is a true turn-key solution. Seamless integration of the wafer probe station, instruments, software and accessories is overlaid with unprecedented service and support in the form of site surveys, pre- and post-measurement optimization and continuing application support. The result is a worry-free, accurate flicker noise measurement.

"Flicker noise is a particularly intricate parameter to characterize. Having worked closely with Cascade Microtech on the first deployment of its EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement system, we can have confidence in the measurements this system produces," said Dr. Michael Cheng, senior director, device technology division at Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing. "This enables us to provide our customers with substantially more information on the devices' flicker noise performance, which is critical in the design of low-noise, high-performance circuits."

Why Flicker Matters

Flicker, or 1/f, noise occurs in all semiconductors and can compromise device performance by causing jitter or phase noise in communications devices, which results in high bit error rates. It can also cause random retention errors in flash memory or soft errors in SRAM. In fact, Flicker noise is such a problem for device developers that in 2003, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors was revised to forecast increased minimum device operating voltage as geometries shrink. Flicker noise, a major contributor to device noise, is the gating barrier to reducing device operating voltages. Unfortunately, today's market pressures result in even less room for the types of performance degradation flicker noise can cause. For instance, higher serial data rates means less jitter margin, and the low standby power demanded by handhelds results in lower signal to noise ratios.

Flicker noise is characterized by a corner frequency beyond which other types of noise become dominant. Because extrinsic background noise often obscures the ultra-low noise frequency corner, measurement and extraction tasks are typically difficult to achieve with precision.

Ironically, such background noise is often introduced by the very systems attempting to measure flicker. Unlike Cascade Microtech's fully integrated EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System, other flicker measurement solutions are bolted together from multiple instruments and probes from multiple vendors and are virtually impossible to imbue with the noise immunity a fully integrated system can attain.

Integrated Measurement System Approach

A turn-key, one-vendor system, the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System provides simple access to flicker noise data over the widest frequency range -- up to 30 MHz -- with the lowest background noise, typically less than 1.2nV/rtHz at 100 KHz and above. This wide frequency range and low background noise allows customers to increase device performance, command higher margins and reduce time to market.

Because it is fully integrated, the EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System eliminates the need for custom fixturing or instrumentation. In addition, it has been designed to switch between flicker and DC measurements with push-button automation, providing both sets of measurements, over-temperature, in one system. This eliminates risky transfer of the wafer from one measurement station to another, and removes the risk of error associated with reconfiguring bolted-together solutions to change their functionality.

Service and Support

The EDGE Flicker Noise Measurement System comes with full support, both pre- and post-sale, and expert advice. This includes device and lab site evaluation, pre- and post-sale training and 100 hours of ongoing application and technical support for the complete system from one vendor.

Price and availability

Cascade Microtech's EDGE Flicker Noise Management System is available immediately for $1.2 million.

AT&T Awards $75,000 Contribution to Improve Educational Opportunities for Disadvantaged Orlando Youth

ORLANDO, Fla., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. today announced a $75,000 donation to the Parramore Kidz Zone (PKZ) to assist the nonprofit organization's efforts to boost the school performance of disadvantaged youth in the Parramore area in Orlando.

"Investing in programs that can make a true difference in the quality of life for Floridians, especially our children, is a real priority for the AT&T team," said Marshall Criser III, president of AT&T Florida. "We are committed to helping indispensable community-based organizations like the Parramore Kidz Zone by providing them with the tools needed to help the wonderful kids who participate in the program."

PKZ will use the AT&T contribution to enhance the computer capabilities at its Homework Room sites throughout the community and increase access for neighborhood children to the University of Central Florida's Digital U program. The money will also be used to expand tutoring services and academic-enrichment activities for all youth, develop and launch workshops to teach parents how to best interact with schools and teachers, and to expand peer-support activities to improve youth's attitudes toward succeeding in school and life.

PKZ, a grass-roots project launched in 2006 by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, provides Parramore children with pre-kindergarten education, health care, jobs, mentoring, tutoring and after-school programs -- such as sports, arts and technology programs -- to help ensure a smooth transition to adulthood.

The mission of PKZ, which is patterned after the nationally acclaimed Harlem Children's Zone in New York, is to transform Orlando's most distressed neighborhoods into a healthy place for children.

"Our goal is to engage every child in Parramore in positive, quality programming," Dyer said. "That doesn't happen without support from responsible community partners like AT&T. Their generous contributions will help transform the lives of Orlando's most at-risk youth."

The Parramore Heritage Community, a 1.4-square-mile neighborhood in the heart of downtown Orlando, is home to 2,066 children, with 73 percent of them living in poverty. Children living in poverty are more likely than other children to perform below grade level in school, have high truancy and dropout rates, become teen parents and end up in child abuse and juvenile crime systems.
