Southern Company Announces Expected Charges for SILO Transactions

ATLANTA, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southern Company today announced that it expects to record an after tax charge of approximately $70 million - $90 million in the second quarter of 2008 related to three residual investments from the 1990s, when the company pursued development of international energy projects. These international lease transactions, commonly known as "sale-in, lease-out" or "SILO" transactions, are no longer pursued by Southern Company or its subsidiaries.

In connection with an audit of the company's 2000 - 2003 tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) challenged Southern Company's deductions related to the SILO transactions. In the third quarter of 2006, Southern Company paid the full amount of the disputed tax and the applicable interest on the SILO issue for tax years 2000 and 2001, and filed a claim for refund which was denied by the IRS. Following the IRS disallowance of the refund claim, Southern Company initiated litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia for a complete refund of tax and interest paid for the 2000 and 2001 tax years.

During the second quarter of 2008, decisions in favor of the IRS were reached in several court cases involving other tax payers with similar leveraged lease investments. Pursuant to the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48) and FASB Staff Position No. 13-2, "Accounting for a Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction" (FSP 13-2), management is required to assess, on a periodic basis, the likely outcome of the uncertain tax positions related to the SILOs.

Based on these accounting standards and management's review of the recent court decisions, Southern Company expects to record an after tax charge of approximately $70 million - $90 million in the second quarter of 2008. Of the total, approximately $20 million - $30 million is associated with the application of FIN 48 and represents additional interest expense related to tax returns for years 2000 - 2007 and approximately $50 million - $60 million represents non-cash charges related to the application of FSP 13-2. The charges related to FSP 13-2 reflect the reallocation of lease income and will be recognized as income over the remaining term of the affected leases. The tax benefit associated with the lease transactions represents timing differences that do not impact total net income over the life of the transactions. The ultimate impact on Southern Company's net income and cash flow will be dependent on the outcome of its pending litigation with the government and proposed legislation and cannot be determined at this time.

Chief Financial Officer Paul Bowers and Ron Hinson, senior vice president and chief accounting officer, will provide additional details for financial analysts at 11 a.m. EDT, on Friday, June 27.

Brocade's New DCX Helps Drive Data Center Evolution and Customer DemandLatest Market Share Results Show Strong Growth

NEW YORK, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (Brocade Technology Day) -- Brocade(R) , the leader in data center networking solutions that help enterprises connect and manage their information, today announced strong customer response and third-party analysis that demonstrate significant strides in market adoption of Brocade's Data Center Fabric architecture and the use of Brocade's DCX Backbone to meet the demands of their next-generation data center.

According to the latest market share data from Dell'Oro Group, in calendar Q1 '08 Brocade grew its overall storage area networking revenue market share by nearly three percent, while other competitors declined. In addition, according to Dell'Oro, Brocade's market share in the modular (director) segment climbed 5.5 percent over calendar quarter Q4 '07.

"Brocade's Data Center Fabric architecture is generating enthusiastic support from our customers as evidenced by our company's strongest marketshare position in the high-end of the storage networking market," said Ian Whiting, Vice President and General Manager of the Brocade Data Center Infrastructure Division. "Brocade continues to lead the data center networking market by delivering real-world, high-performance solutions that meet the challenges of consolidating and virtualizing their IT operations today, but with a clear, differentiated investment-protection strategy that will provide sensible and realistic upgrade paths to emerging data center technologies."

European communication service provider KPN is deploying six Brocade DCX Backbones in data centers in Rotterdam and Groningen, part of an expansion plan designed to accommodate the growing data management demands of more than 35.3 million KPN mobile, wireless and broadband Internet customers in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Brocade to Outline Its Vision and Leadership Role for the Next-Generation Data Center at Technology Day

NEW YORK, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brocade(R) will affirm the strength and direction of its core technologies and chart its plans and strategies for helping customers migrate to next-generation data center technologies at an event it will hold today at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in front of investors, financial and industry analysts, media and customers. The event will be webcast starting at 1:00 p.m. EDT at http://www.brcd.com/.

The event is the backdrop for Brocade to discuss and detail the company's current and future technology, product and service plans for its four primary businesses: Fibre Channel-based storage area network (SAN) connectivity, server connectivity, file-based data consolidation and management, and professional services and support.

Brocade will also present its vision and a pragmatic timeline of the evolution to the next-generation data center networks. Brocade will outline an application-centric vision of the data center infrastructure, with intelligent, purpose-built networks that rationally and non disruptively integrate new technologies such as Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE). This discussion will reiterate and extend the vision Brocade introduced with the Data Center Fabric (DCF) architecture and the DCX Backbone platform, and will highlight the advantages over alternative strategies.

"Brocade is an industry leader in developing technologies to drive tomorrow's data centers and we realize that any migration of global, information-based systems needs to be carefully plotted, tested and evaluated before being put into production," said Mike Klayko, CEO of Brocade. "We understand our customers' concerns in this area which is why our Data Center Fabric (DCF) architecture and DCX Backbone platform are designed to enable customers to migrate to newer technologies on their own timetables while continuing to enjoy the benefits of the most innovative, high-performance data center fabric technologies available today."

Recent research from TheInfoPro(R), an independent research network for the IT industry, supports Brocade's views that while customers are aware of these developing technologies, their plans are to carefully assess and evaluate the impact of the new standards and technologies prior to deploying them into production data center environments. TheInfoPro polled storage and networking users from 152 Fortune 1000 companies from various industries. On average, each of these organizations manages 1.5 terabyte of data. Of the respondents, 84 percent said they have no immediate plans to deploy FCoE and another 9 percent said it was in their long-term plans. Comparatively, 77 percent of these overall respondents said that they were already using or were evaluating Fibre Channel technology.

Ongoing Commitment to Fibre Channel Innovation

In alignment with these customer plans, Brocade will also use the Technology Day to outline its continued investment and on-going commitment to lead the market in delivering innovative Fibre Channel solutions. For example, Brocade will discuss its first-to-market success in the SAN switching industry with 8-gigabit per second (gbps) solutions, giving it considerable first-mover's advantage. The latest available research from the Dell'Oro Group, which tracks market information for the SAN switching industry, confirmed this by showing that Brocade gained nearly 5.5 points of market share in the high-end -- or the modular switch -- segment versus competitors in the most recent reported quarter. Rapid customer adoption of the new 8-gbps Brocade DCX Backbone and DCF architecture played a significant role in this success, Brocade reported in a related press release (http://www.brocade.com/news/2008/6_26_DCXmomentum.jsp).

Brocade will also discuss its commitment to future innovation such as driving and supporting 16-gbps Fibre Channel, the next phase in this technology's roadmap expected by 2011. As with previous Fibre Channel advancements, the higher performance through 16-gbps will help customers further address their data center growth and consolidation needs while continuing to drive down complexity and operating costs through increased efficiencies.

"Fibre Channel is here to stay. And from Brocade, you will see us delivering more -- not less -- in terms of capabilities, innovation and solutions," said Martin Skagen, Chief Technology Officer of Brocade's Data Center Infrastructure Division. "We believe this will help us maintain and grow our leadership position in data center server-to-storage networking for the next several years."

Outlining Innovation and Realistic Expectations for FCoE, CEE

Brocade will also present its views on the likely evolutionary paths and customer adoption trends for emerging data center technologies, namely FCoE and CEE. Brocade believes that these technologies are likely to develop and be adopted by customers incrementally, to extend their existing networks, with greatest impact initially at the server-edge. The company will point out that through this progression FCoE is likely to increase demand for Fibre Channel technologies by enabling customers to attach more servers to networked storage.

Brocade will further outline that it expects that the FCoE and CEE standards will begin to be ratified in 2009 with early adoption of standards-compliant products to follow shortly afterwards. Brocade expects that mainstream, large-scale deployments of FCoE and CEE are not likely to occur until at least 2010. In preparation for this evolutionary path, Brocade is currently developing, and will soon begin testing solutions based on these new technologies.

Future FCoE- and CEE- based solutions that the company will discuss at Technology Day include:

-- FCoE and CEE module options for the DCX Backbone platform, which further expands the role and performance of data center networks;

-- A 10-gbps FCoE switch enabling efficient server I/O consolidation as a "top of rack" model or as an edge switch to an existing storage network;

-- Next-generation 10-gbps FCoE server adapters for full-performance server I/O consolidation and ease-of-management. These next-gen adapters will extend Brocade's existing portfolio of 4- and 8-gbps Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs). Brocade today announced the general availability of these new HBAs through global channel partners. See related press release (http://www.brocade.com/news/2008/6_26_HBA_GA.jsp ).

Other technology developments to be discussed include:

-- Brocade's plans to extend its file management solutions portfolio to support content management systems such as Microsoft(R) SharePoint(R) and to deliver unified file management capabilities for both file server and web-portal based environments;

-- Broadening of Brocade's professional services capabilities to meet the evolving requirements of a virtualized data center that will help customers and partners accelerate and manage their new technology deployments.

"Our message to this audience will be simple: Brocade continues to execute well on all technology and product fronts in our evolution to become a larger, more strategic enabler of data center solutions," said Tom Buiocchi, Brocade's Vice President of Worldwide Marketing. "Key to our ongoing leadership and growing momentum is that we continue to focus and innovate in our core technologies but with an eye and a sensible plan toward the migration to the next-generation data center."

Teneros Hires Top Talent for Growth and Adds Software as a Service (SaaS) Product OfferingAnnounces New Leadership Team to Drive SaaS Product Offering

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Teneros (http://www.teneros.com/) today announced that it has undergone a full restructuring of the company's management team and is launching a new Software as a Service product offering. By bringing in seasoned talent, the company can capitalize on its leadership position and its opportunity for market expansion with new product offerings for the business continuity market for Microsoft(R) Exchange. The move follows the recent appointment of Ben Petro as the company's new president and CEO. Petro formerly held the position of senior vice president of Ultra Services at NeuStar, Inc. , which was the company's highest-growth division under Petro's leadership. He was appointed to this position after NeuStar's acquisition of his former company, UltraDNS, in April 2006; where as CEO and president he grew the company to be the number one provider of managed domain name system (DNS) and traffic management solutions worldwide.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060925/SFM078LOGO) Aggressive growth under new leadership

With Petro at the helm, Teneros plans to aggressively grow staff under the new leadership team. "The new executive team comprises proven talent with reputations for creating sustainable value in a variety of high-growth businesses," said Ben Petro. "We have restructured with top performers in each discipline to optimize execution of our new go-to-market plan focused on direct sales of an expanded product offering."

Patrick Kearns, appointed general manager and vice president of corporate development, is charged with expanding global partnerships and distribution alliances to establish a stronghold in international channel sales. Kearns brings to Teneros a history of success with strategic international corporate development at technology companies such as Lucent Technologies , Motorola, and Fujitsu.

"The messaging market is migrating from Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and businesses everywhere are leveraging virtualization technology. Teneros' new technology partnership with VMware will allow us to both capitalize on virtualization benefits within our appliances and to provide the VMware channel with flexible, scalable and comprehensive high availability and disaster recovery email solutions to Microsoft Exchange Server email customers," offered Kearns.

Jon Ferrell joined Teneros, as vice president of direct sales to spearhead the company's drive up market with the expanded SaaS offering. Ferrell joined Teneros from NeuStar, Inc. where he was vice president of sales for the company's Ultra Services Division, formed by the acquisition of UltraDNS in 2006. At UltraDNS, he established and grew direct sales offices across the United States and Europe. His team also established UltraDNS as the pre-eminent DNS services provider in wide range of major vertical markets. Prior to joining UltraDNS, Ferrell was a syndicate coordinator at Merrill Lynch where he managed over $750 million in client assets and was responsible for the distribution of initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary offerings.

David Novosad, in the new position of vice president of business operations, was hired to optimize and drive efficient operational growth. Novosad came to Teneros from NeuStar, Inc. where he was vice president of Ultra Services.

Teneros' investors Goldman Sachs and New Enterprise Associates (NEA) were instrumental in assisting the restructuring of the company's management team by accessing their valuable network of seasoned executives with track records of repeated success.

Expanded Email Continuity Product Offering to Include Software as a Service (SaaS)

Teneros also announced it is expanding its email continuity product family with a SaaS offering to increase the company's market reach. The new service model allows customers to simply and cost-effectively satisfy their email high availability and disaster recovery requirements with the low monthly fee per mailbox service. As companies grow and prosper, they can easily add support of new mailboxes.

Teneros Application Continuity Appliances end email downtime for businesses by delivering local high availability and remote disaster recovery of Microsoft Exchange. An estimated 70 percent of businesses worldwide use Microsoft Exchange as their email messaging server, according to Ferris Research. Ferris Research sites that it is business critical for many of these companies to assure 24x7 email operation as well as email data protection and access.

Teneros' new SaaS offering provides around-the-clock email uptime for businesses running Microsoft Exchange by utilizing Teneros' Instant-On(TM) failover technology. Included in the low monthly mailbox fee, Teneros supplies customers with an appliance that requires no reconfiguration of, modification to, or additional software on the Exchange server or network infrastructure and it can be installed in the customer's network in minutes. The appliances are remotely monitored, maintained and updated from Teneros' Network Operations Center, and the appliances use transactional integrity validation -- Teneros' proprietary, real-time data verification technology -- to prevent replication of Exchange data corruption on Teneros appliances. These features earn accolades from customers because Teneros appliances do not add to the ongoing workload of their in-house IT staff to deliver truly hands-free IT(TM) solutions.

Lithium Technology Corporation Selected for PHEV Project with Volkswagen AG and E.ON

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lithium Technology Corporation (LTC) (OTC Pink Sheets: LTHU) announced today that its German subsidiary, GAIA Akkumulatorenwerke GmbH (GAIA), was selected to participate in a passenger car fleet project for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) sponsored by the German Federal Government. GAIA batteries will power the project made possible in conjunction with Volkswagen AG and E.ON. The project was unveiled today in Berlin by Minister Sigmar Gabriel, Prof. Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen AG and Dr. Klaus-Dieter Maubach, CEO of E.ON.

Over the next three years, GAIA will deliver a total of seven lithium ion batteries that are based on iron phosphate cathode chemistry with energy content of about 12kWh. The project will partially be funded by the German Federal Government.

The project aims to demonstrate the use of electricity generated by renewable energy such as wind and solar for powering up 20 PHEV's in a fleet trial under real-time conditions. The project will also validate the superiority of advanced lithium ion batteries to power such vehicles and evaluate the use of various methods of integrating these vehicles into the electric power grid for stabilization purposes.

"It is a great honor for LTC to be part of this program and to work with a leading car company and one of the largest utility companies in Europe," commented Dr. Klaus Brandt, Chief Executive Officer of LTC and Managing Director of GAIA. "This project will not only demonstrate the viability of the use of lithium ion batteries to power PHEV's, but also the use of the large energy storage capabilities that the batteries of such a PHEV fleet represent to the power grid."

"At the present time the automobile is unthinkable without a highly efficient diesel or gasoline engine. The future however, and that is certain, will belong to the electric motors fueled by the wall power plug" (PHEV), commented Professor Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen AG in their announcement today. "On this way to the future, our innovative motors (TDI/TSI) combined with electric motors and highly efficient battery systems create advanced propulsion systems."

PHEVs are part of a family of electric-drive technologies that will play an important role in achieving the objectives of energy security and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The relatively large battery installed enables a full electric driving over distances typical in urban situations as the battery can be charged directly from the electricity grid. The increased use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar put stress on the grid stability as power generation becomes less predictable. PHEV batteries can play a role in stabilizing the grid by charging at times of excess power generation capability and by feeding power back to the grid when there is a power generation shortage.

"LTC, with its unique battery technology, is one of the few companies in the world today that enables the construction of large batteries needed by PHEV's and other heavy duty applications in the transportation market. Moreover, with regard to the grid and renewable energy, we currently target even larger applications, such as grid stabilization and peak shaving, which will require batteries of 2-20 Mega Watt hours, the largest of their kind in the world," concluded Dr. Brandt.

About Volkswagen AG:

Volkswagen AG is a Germany-based automobile manufacturer. The Company consists of two divisions: Automotive and Financial Services. The activities of the Automotive Division comprise the development of vehicles and engines, as well as the production and sale of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks and buses, and the genuine parts business.

Garmin(R) Introduces New and Improved Astro(R) GPS Dog Tracking Collar

OLATHE, Kan., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. , the global leader in satellite navigation, today announced the DC(TM) 30, a completely redesigned GPS dog tracking collar for use with the Astro GPS Dog Tracking System. The new collar is more rugged and its antennas are positioned differently for optimal tracking.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061026/CGTH082LOGO)

"The new DC 30 collar is designed to stand up to the torturous abuse of hunting dogs. Whether it's hounds crashing through thick and swampy woods, or bird dogs bounding through dense CRP fields, the DC 30 is made to take the beating that working dogs dish out daily," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "And the new configuration also makes mounting the collar a cinch -- while improving reception."

The DC 30 collar's main housing is weighted to sit below the dog's neck, while a small, low-profile GPS antenna is integrated into the collar strap and positioned on top of the dog's neck, providing a clear view of satellites with minimal rotation. The transmitter antenna originates from the lower housing, and has been redesigned for more flexibility and ruggedness. No counterbalance or harness is needed. The weight for the transmitter plus antenna is 4.1 ounces, and the entire DC 30 weighs just 8.7 ounces.

Used in conjunction with the Astro 220 receiver, the system pinpoints exactly where your dog is and what he's doing -- running, pointing, or treeing -- even in dense cover, up to seven miles away, depending on terrain.

The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System requires very little configuration straight out of the box, and is extremely simple to use. Once the transmitter and receiver acquire a GPS signal, the receiver automatically lets users know the location of their dog. Unlike old radio telemetry collars, the Astro features a dog page that shows the precise direction and distance to a dog -- even indicating if it is running, on point, or treeing quarry -- and does it all without the annoyance of beeper collars. Unlike cellular tracking systems, there are no subscriptions or setup fees required to use the device.

Astro can track up to ten dogs per receiver at once, and the collar gives location updates every five, 10, or 30 seconds (user selectable). Battery life is 17-36 hours (based on update rate) on the rechargeable DC 30 collar and 24 hours on the Astro 220 receiver, which is powered by two AA batteries. Both the DC 30 collar and the Astro 220 receiver are completely waterproof.

The Astro also has a map page to illustrate where a dog is and where it has been -- in relation to the hunter -- and allows hunters to determine if they have covered nearby ground. Garmin's unique Covey Counter(TM) lets hunters mark the precise location, time of day, and elevation where they encountered their quarry -- and users can easily note the number of birds flushed and how many were taken. The Astro also comes packed with new hunting-specific icons, to easily mark and identify bird flushes, treed raccoons, food plots, tree stands, cover, ATVs, and other outdoor-related features.

Besides being a state-of-the-art dog tracking device, the Astro is also a full-featured handheld GPS based on the GPSMAP(R) 60CSx, with a sunlight-readable color display and a highly sensitive GPS receiver that works even under a thick tree canopy or in deep canyons. So when the hunting season is over, the Astro can pull double-duty for hiking, boating, or car trips.

The Astro has a microSD card slot that allows users to insert optional pre-programmed topo maps or road maps, which can be invaluable in an unfamiliar area. Topo maps give hunters an idea of the most productive areas to hunt, while road maps feature the same basic functions as an automotive GPS navigation unit -- even in rural areas. The optional road map data can also give turn-by-turn directions to motels, gas stations, restaurants, and even veterinarians.

The Astro also calculates area, which is ideal for determining the acreage of a piece of property or the exact size of a food plot. The unit has location-specific sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset tables (ideal for determining legal hunting hours) and a hunting and fishing calendar that suggests the best times to be out in the field.

The new DC 30 collar is included as part of the Astro GPS Dog Tracking system, which also contains an Astro 220 receiver, user's manual, power/data cables, Trip & Waypoint Manager CD, and a carrying case for a suggested retail price of $649.99. The DC 30 tracking collar sold separately is $199.99. The DC 30 collar is compatible with current Astro GPS Dog Tracking Systems as well. For current Astro DC20 owners wishing to upgrade to the DC 30, Garmin is offering a $50.00 rebate for a limited time only.

Garmin has also developed a new Astro portable long range antenna, sold separately. The accessory is designed to increase the range of the hunter's handheld receiver, by up to three miles. When a dog travels outside the Astro's range, the antenna can be lengthened to over a meter and attached directly to the Astro 220 via a one-meter coaxial cable. The antenna features a molded handle and lanyard, and measures just a quarter meter long when stored -- small enough to be carried in a hunting vest when not in use. The handheld antenna has a list price of $69.99.

The DC 30 is expected to be available in third quarter 2008. For more details and an interactive demo of the Astro GPS Dog Tracking System, visit http://www.garmin.com/astro.

Mattson Technology, Inc. Announces a 5% Reduction in Force

FREMONT, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mattson Technology, Inc. , a leading supplier of advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors, today announced a reduction in force in selected organizations, as a result of the continuing downturn in the wafer fabrication equipment industry. "The restructuring of our global workforce will have the effect of reducing our cost structure in selected areas, while allowing the Company to continue critical investments in our new products and strategic initiatives," said David Dutton, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Memory spending is highly cyclical and has been exacerbated by the overall weak global economy. We believe the restructuring will help to optimize our organization and position Mattson for expanded growth."

As a result of the reorganization, Mattson will eliminate approximately 25 positions, or about 5 percent of the Company's global workforce. On June 25th, 2008, the Company began providing notices to those employees whose employment would be affected by the restructuring activity. It is expected that the workforce reduction will be completed by the end of the next fiscal quarter.

The Company anticipates that this plan will result in annualized savings of approximately $1.9 million. Due to Mattson's growth initiatives, these savings will be absorbed in its new product development efforts; however operating expenses will be maintained at the current levels. Mattson expects to record restructuring-related charges of approximately $0.7 million in connection with the reorganization. These one-time pre-tax charges are comprised of severance pay expenses, which will be recorded in the second quarter of 2008 and will adversely impact the Company's second quarter operating expenses.

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company's future prospects, including, but not limited to: anticipated bookings, revenue, margins, earnings per share, market share, tax rate and fully diluted shares outstanding for future periods. Forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: end-user demand for semiconductors; customer demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment; the timing of significant customer orders for the Company's products; customer acceptance of delivered products and the Company's ability to collect amounts due upon shipment and upon acceptance; the Company's ability to timely manufacture, deliver and support ordered products; the Company's ability to bring new products to market and to gain market share with such products; customer rate of adoption of new technologies; risks inherent in the development of complex technology; the timing and competitiveness of new product releases by the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to align its cost structure with market conditions; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company's Forms 10-K, 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for the current quarter are preliminary and subject to adjustment. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information provided in this news release.

Commerzbank Drives Core Banking Processes With SAPGermany's Second Largest Bank Successfully Deploys SAP for Banking in Only Nine Months, Optimizing Integrated Workflows and Automation of 1.2 Million Loans Yearly

WALLDORF and FRANKFURT, Germany, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced that Commerzbank, Germany's second largest bank, has successfully implemented the SAP for Banking solution portfolio in just nine months to centralize and optimize its business processes. Commerzbank has restructured its entire loans transaction business unit, setting up a "loans factory," which will process 1.2 million loans yearly, based on an SAP solution portfolio with enterprise-wide standardized and integrated processes. The high degree of workflow automation and shorter processing times with the integrated SAP(R) solutions enable the bank to realize significantly improved efficiency. Commerzbank joins a long list of global banking industry leaders relying on SAP solutions to manage their operations.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

As a large bank with worldwide operations, Commerzbank turned to SAP software to provide a standard solution for core banking processes. A team comprised of experts from Commerzbank, Eurohypo, Eurohypo Systems and several SAP implementation partners rolled out the new systems in only nine months, replacing Commerzbank's former banking platform with SAP for Banking.

The existing SAP application for credit management deployed by Eurohypo, a subsidiary of Commerzbank, served as a model and basis for the new solution and adaptation. The "credit factory" technology platform went live on September 1, 2007. Today, the private mortgage loans business, currently with 600,000 contracts, is managed via SAP for Banking. The integration of consumer loans will follow in a next implementation step. Commerzbank's "loans factory" concept provides an integrated IT system for all areas of business, based on standard solutions and processes accounting for a high degree of integrated workflow automation. With SAP software, Commerzbank is able to serve multiple business organizations by a single software instance.

"Banks around the world are moving to a licensed software for core banking model for reasons of productivity, efficiency and agility," said Bart Narter, senior analyst, Celent. "About half of the top ten North American banks use a licensed software product for core systems, while in other regions internally developed systems predominate. We believe that banks will move to licensed systems globally in order to reduce development costs and deployment timelines."

Due to the integration of the solution with the balance-sheet and risk systems, Commerzbank has significantly increased its data quality, improved risk selection and provided more transparency across all borrower units. Employing standardized solutions and establishing automatic workflows can also significantly drive down costs. With SAP for Banking, Commerzbank is able to reduce both loans processing steps and processing times. The bank's customers will also benefit from the reduction of refinancing costs, risk-adjusted pricing and from the overall reduction of risk management costs.

"By implementing SAP software, we were able to remove the burdens brought on by our former loans platform and create a durable, efficient core banking solution," said Christian Weber, head of retail credit, Commerzbank. "We decided to go with SAP when we saw how the solution boosted performance at Eurohypo. We have now implemented automated loans processes with SAP solutions that have considerably improved the response time of each loan when compared to our old solution."

"Commerzbank is taking a giant leap forward in the 'industrialization' of its core banking operation thanks to standardized processes and workflows, bearing enormous potential for raising efficiency," said Thomas Balgheim, senior vice president, Global Banking Line of Business, SAP AG. "Banks must ensure their core business systems are durable for the future. Only through a flexible, adaptable solution can banks better manage future changes and products in the marketplace. We have been continuously enhancing SAP for Banking toward a service-oriented banking business process platform, in order to meet the requirements of global banks today and ensure a growth platform for the future."

About Commerzbank AG

Since taking over Eurohypo, Europe's largest institution specializing in financing real-estate and public-sector projects, Commerzbank has been Germany's second-largest bank and one of the leading banks in Europe. Its consolidated balance-sheet total stands at 616bn euros. Roughly 35,000 employees, 8,504 of them active outside Germany, look after more than 8 million customers worldwide. Commerzbank sees itself as an efficient provider of financial services for private and business customers as well as for small to medium-sized companies (Mittelstand), but it also serves numerous major corporates and multinationals. For each of its core target groups, it aims to be the 'best bank'.

Active Control reports significant progress toward MSHA approvalsTSX-V: ACT

TORONTO, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX-V:ACT) today reported further advancement toward US federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) certification of ActiveMine(TM), the premier wireless communications and locating system for mines.

Active Control management believes that it is entering the final iteration of the MSHA approval process for two core ActiveMine components: the system's wireless mesh node modules and RFID Wi-Fi tags. The nodes are placed in operating areas of mines and form the wireless backbone of the ActiveMine network system; the RFID tags enable accurate, real-time tracking of people and assets.

Based on recent progress, Active Control management believes that the company is positioned to table its final submissions for both components within weeks for approval. MSHA controls the timing of approvals.

"We continue to work closely with MSHA to expedite the certification of ActiveMine," said Steve Barrett, ACT President and CEO.

Four Active Control employees are working full-time, along with consultants retained by the company, on the approval process. They have been and continue to meet with MSHA engineers by phone and in person on a weekly basis.

A separate application was submitted late last year to MSHA for Wi-Fi telephones used in the ActiveMine system. Active Control continues to work with MSHA on that certification, and hopes to have a better understanding in the coming weeks of the timeline for approval of the telephone. Further information on the certification of the Wi-Fi telephone will be forthcoming at that time.

MSHA approves mining equipment as 'intrinsically safe,' i.e. to not create a spark or thermal ignition of methane or coal dust in coal mines. ACT submitted applications to MSHA last year for all components of its ActiveMine system. The company expects to receive three individual approvals for ActiveMine's RFID tag, node assembly and telephone.

MSHA certification is not required to sell and deploy ActiveMine in most base metal and precious metal surface and underground mines. Some ActiveMine purchase orders for coal mines are subject to certain conditions including regulatory approval of the system by MSHA.

"The company continues to make excellent progress in advance of approvals, with additional purchase orders and new commercial installations confirmed in the first half of 2008," Barrett said.

About ActiveMine

The ActiveMine communications, data and tracking system enables monitoring of production, personnel and equipment in all types of surface and underground mining environments, including coal and base metal mines. The system is designed to:

- Operate on a 100 percent wireless Wi-Fi network backbone. - Be less susceptible to water and mechanical damage of all sorts, including rock fall. - Use open-standards technology. - Meet federal MINER Act requirements for wireless systems as established in MSHA policies. - Enable miners who become isolated underground to stay linked, even when they are distant from one another and cut off from the outside world - a capability made possible by the system's unique "Starfish(TM)" feature. - Provide four-day intrinsically safe battery back-up and power supply. - Provide a wireless communications and data network above-ground, linked seamlessly to underground networks. About Active Control Technology

ACT designs and markets wireless network control and communication systems for buildings and extreme environments. Located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, the company trades publicly on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ACT. For more information, visit the company's website at ww.activecontrol.com.

Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. Announces Recent Developments with its Operating Subsidiaries

COVINGTON, Ky., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VLYF) announced today recent developments with its operating subsidiaries.

Valley Forge Imaging Systems Inc.'s next-generation advanced Personnel Detection System, ODIN, was validated in March and passed or exceeded ANSI standards. The machines are suitable for virtually any location requiring the screening of people entering the facility and are immediately available for placement in locations worldwide. Valley Forge is presently negotiating with several foreign airports for the placement of multiple ODIN machines.

Valley Forge Detection Systems Inc.'s advanced Explosives Detection System, THOR, is in the final stages of development. Valley Forge recently attended a meeting with a division of the US Army about the development of an IED detection system. The company also has begun negotiations with various foreign governments for the sale and placement of THOR systems. Analysis and feasibility studies are being done, to determine locations suitable for THOR. Expected markets include airports, seaports, cargo terminals and border crossings.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, partners with Valley Forge on the developmental end of THOR, stated on page 17 of their 2005 annual report, "...In one such project, the laboratory is working with the Lebedev Physical Institute and Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. on an accelerator-based device to detect hidden explosives in luggage and cargo. The explosives-detection system is based on a small-scale electron accelerator developed by Lebedev. The potential market for this technology is huge; the US market demand alone is approximately $2 billion dollars a year for hardware and $2.5 billion for maintenance and support services."

The annual report can be accessed here: http://vlyf.tv/pdf/LLNL_2005_ANNUAL_REPORT.pdf , see page 17 for discussion of Valley Forge.

Bill H.R. 1 Becomes Law - Positively Impacts Valley Forge Imaging Systems and Valley Forge Detection Systems

On August 3, 2007, the United States enacted into law, Bill H.R. 1 and Congress made the following findings: 182 public transportation systems throughout the world have been primary targets of terrorist attacks; more than 6,000 public transportation agencies operate in the United States; people use public transportation vehicles 33,000,000 times each day; the Federal Transit Administration has invested $93,800,000,000 since 1992 for construction and improvements; the Federal investment in transit security has been insufficient; and greater Federal investment in transit security improvements per passenger boarding is necessary to better protect the American people, given transit's vital importance in creating mobility and promoting our Nation's economy.

The new law also mandates that within 5 years any container loaded on a vessel in a foreign port shall not enter the United States unless the container was scanned by non-intrusive imaging equipment and radiation detection equipment at the foreign port before it was loaded on the vessel. The law also mandates that not later than 3 years after the date of enactment, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish a system to screen 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft operated by an air carrier or foreign air carrier in air transportation or intrastate air transportation to ensure the security of all such passenger aircraft carrying cargo. The full text of HR1 can be found here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1

Valley Forge Aerospace continues to supply aerospace giants such as NASA and Northrop-Grumman with their line of light-weight, unique space instruments. Valley Forge is providing specialized, prototype Attitude Control Instruments to NASA's precise engineering specifications, and has extensive experience in the satellite momentum wheel and bearing fields. Valley Forge's composite rotor is lighter, more stable, and less expensive than metal rotors currently in use, so much so that Valley Forge received the NASA's Director's Award for their Composite Rotor and Space Bearings.

Valley Forge Emerging Technologies continues to closely monitor the marketplace for opportunities to adapt their current and other technologies to new products.

Cypress Incorporates Denali Blueprint for CSR Automation ManagementNew Methodology Speeds Hardware and Software Design and IP Reusability

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Denali Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP), today announced it has licensed its Blueprint(TM) product to Cypress Semiconductor Corp. , for use in developing their PSoC(R) devices. Cypress' hardware and software designers have deployed SystemRDL as a single source for register descriptions and are leveraging the Blueprint Compiler's extensive generators to create and automate a variety of register views used in their development process. This single-source automated synchronization results in pre-silicon validation, architectural quality, and an increase in productivity.

"Today's design teams are looking for methods to manage changes between the chip specifications and all the implementations used throughout the design and verification process," states Jennifer Sirrine, senior design engineering manager at Cypress Semiconductor. "Our engineering teams wanted a single source for control register descriptions, and by using the industry-standard SystemRDL and Blueprint, have realized reduced integration time enabling us to meet our design requirements. Denali's Blueprint provides Cypress with an integral and reliable platform solution for SoC design."

Cypress PSoC devices employ a highly configurable system-on-chip architecture for embedded control design, offering a flash-based equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC without lead-time or NRE penalties. PSoC devices integrate configurable analog and digital circuits, controlled by an on-chip microcontroller, providing both enhanced design revision capability and component count savings. They include up to 32 Kbytes of Flash memory, 2 Kbytes of SRAM, an 8x8 multiplier with 32-bit accumulator, power and sleep monitoring circuits, and hardware I2C communications. For more of PSoC information, visit: http://www.cypress.com/.

"Denali understands the challenges facing design teams today. The control register content has exploded in modern SoC's with numbers of control registers often exceeding 10,000 instances," states Sean Smith, director of Field Applications and product manager for Blueprint at Denali Software. "Our customers, such as Cypress, can utilize SystemRDL to specify all the control register content and act as a single source of information, and then with Blueprint Compiler, generate all control registers and related content such as documentation, RTL implementations, and verification test cases. Due to this automated synchronization, Blueprint results in increased chip design productivity and speeds IP reuse."

About Denali Blueprint

Denali Blueprint, now part of PureView(TM) and MMAV(TM) 2008, is a SystemRDL compiler that enables a system-level approach to automating specification, view generation, and management of control registers for IP and SoC design. Blueprint will generate necessary outputs and views for design, verification, documentation, software development, post silicon debug and even enables early software development with SystemC(TM) Transaction Level Models. Blueprint guarantees interoperability with other EDA tools by inputting and outputting IP-XACT and SystemRDL formats.
