En Pointe Sues Softchoice for Illegal Acts

LOS ANGELES, July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- En Pointe Technologies, Inc., , announced today that it had filed suit against Softchoice Corporation, seeking a court declaration that Softchoice has engaged in improper business practices by using anti-competitive clauses in its employment contracts and policies which unlawfully restrict an individual's ability to work.

In the court filing En Pointe alleges that Softchoice's employment contracts contain illegal and void clauses that prevent former Softchoice employees from marketing, offering, or providing products similar to those marketed, offered, or provided by Softchoice or to any Softchoice customer and that Softchoice's use of such clauses in its employment contracts is illegal and void.

"We believe that Softchoice's overreach manifests itself through an attempt to impose illegal and void terms on employees that restrict the rights of workers through anti-competitive business practices," noted Bob Din, CEO of En Pointe.

As a Minnesota court found in ruling against Softchoice on a trade-secret claim on April 15, 2008:

"... While [the employees] may know customers' contact information, the company's hardware system, etc. and they have skills and experience that was acquired while working for Softchoice, "[H]ow could [they] not?" . . . .. But many salespersons in the industry have acquired such skills and experience. Further, the customer information [the employees] have is available to anyone in the industry. Every company with computers is a potential reseller customer; the more computers, the better the prospect. Resources abound for salesperson to find contact information and details about those companies. None of the information obtained through these methods is Softchoice's confidential information, and it is not legitimate for Softchoice to seek to prevent [the employees] from utilizing these methods or the information obtained through these methods. Id. (a "salesperson should be able to ply his trade"); . . . .("knowledge of industry contact people does not rise to the level of a trade secret because this type of unprotected information is readily attainable with a trade"). That Softchoice "maintains" it after its representatives collect it does not convert the information into Softchoice's confidential information. . . . . ("the mere fact that a 'confidential' label is attached to information is not itself sufficient to elevate ordinary sales information to secretive stature") . It is insufficient for Softchoice to argue that, while the individual pieces of information may be publicly available, Softchoice has combined the information and the combination is entitled to protection. . . . ("[simply to assert a trade secret resides in some combination of otherwise known data is not sufficient"); . . . . ("customer lists, even with specific information about those customers attached to them, are generally not considered to rise to the level of a trade secret under Minnesota law"). Nor is it sufficient for Softchoice to argue that the way it generated and combined the publicly available information is entitled to protection, because it does so just like everyone else in the industry . .. . "

"We are confident in the value of the totality of the En Pointe offering to potential employees and to our customers. En Pointe's broad offering of software, hardware and services enables its employees to serve customers across the full spectrum of the customers' needs. We believe that Softchoice wrongfully threatens suit against employees who dare to leave them," said Michael Rapp, Vice-President of En Pointe. "Our goal is to put a stop to this illegal behavior and force Softchoice to acknowledge the rights and freedoms of their present and former employees."

New Linksys by Cisco Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router Makes Home Networking Multimedia FriendlyEntertainment Optimized Networking technology automatically prioritizes network traffic to provide better multimedia experience for consumers

IRVINE, Calif., July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Linksys(R), a Division of Cisco, and the recognized leading global manufacturer of wireless, and networking hardware for home, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) and the small business user, today announced the Linksys by Cisco Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router (WRT610N). The WRT610N is designed to greatly enhance the entertainment experience for consumers who wish to take advantage of the ever-increasing availability of digital media content, including High-Definition video.

Building on the heritage of the award-winning WRT600N, the WRT610N is designed to achieve true Wireless-N performance in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz spectrums. The WRT610N effectively provides consumers two networks to which they can connect devices. It is recommended that consumers connect entertainment-oriented devices, such as a Media Center Extenders, audio players or Personal Video Recorders, to the wider 5GHz band, while connecting other devices, like PCs, Print Servers, or Network Attached Storage to the more common 2.4GHz band.

True Simultaneous Wireless-N Performance

Dual-N Band Wireless networking allows consumers to utilize both the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum and the wider, more available 5GHz wireless spectrum to address their networking needs. The 5GHz spectrum provides more than seven times the number of non-overlapping wireless channels, allowing for clearer transmissions, while the 2.4GHz spectrum allows older network devices like print servers or Wireless-G and Single-Band Wireless-N PCs to access the network. Where the WRT610N stands out is that it allows consumers to achieve full Wireless-N network speeds on both bands at the same time.*

"There are products on the market that are framed as Dual-Band that allow access to only one band at a time or lose transmission speeds when both bands are in use," said Mani Dhillon, director, Linksys Consumer Business Organization. "As consumers begin to use the 5GHz spectrum for their multimedia devices, it becomes more important to have access to the full capabilities of both bands."

Entertainment Optimized Networking

Entertainment Optimized Networking technology helps deliver a premium experience when WRT610N users share and access multimedia content. The WRT610N is designed so that network performance is fine-tuned to give priority to High-Definition video without the need for manual configuration. PC users can customize their networks to give priority to certain devices, like gaming consoles, over others.

"Each day, more digital multimedia content is becoming available, and with that growth in availability comes the need to maintain the experience consumers have come to expect when enjoying a movie, watching an HDTV broadcast, or listening to their favorite music," said Dhillon. "With the WRT610N, the home network can optimize the process of streaming multimedia content, and helping to make the process more user friendly than it has ever been."

Easy Network Setup and Management

Linksys EasyLink Advisor (LELA) provides consumers with a flash video-based guided installation guide for PC and Mac users. LELA uses simplified terminology that doesn't require knowledge of networking jargon, and helps make setting up a wireless network easier than ever before.

When LELA is installed on a PC connected to your network, a visual overview or network map of all the devices connected to your network is created that provides an easy way to quickly view the status of the network. When a new device is connected, LELA will automatically discover the device and add it to the network map. Advanced users who like to further tailor the settings of their network and devices can launch the advanced configuration via the traditional Web GUI method from within the EasyLink Advisor interface.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is also included on the WRT610N. Wi-Fi Protected Setup is an optional certification program from the Wi-Fi Alliance that is designed to ease the task of securely setting up and configuring devices on wireless local area networks. The WRT610N features a button that enables consumers to add additional devices to their network by simply pushing it and the corresponding button on the other certified product.

More Environmentally Conscious

To address the growing concern consumer products have on the environment, Linksys is using packaging for the WRT610N that is more friendly to the environment in several ways. These include a transition from the traditional "sleeve" box to a one piece box that is created using recycled and biodegradable content materials, along with inks made from soy and vegetables. The product is also using an ENERGY STAR certified power adapter to help lower power consumption by the device.

Pricing and Availability

Available now at an Estimated Street Price of $199.99, the WRT610N can be purchased from Linksys e-commerce resellers, retailers, and VAR partners.

VTech Announces FY2008 Annual Results

HONG KONG, July 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Record Revenue and Profit Despite Difficult Economic Conditions

-- Record revenue and profit -- Group revenue increased by 6.0% to US$1,552.0 million -- Profit attributable to shareholders rose by 17.9% to US$215.7 million -- Net profit margin expanded 1.4% points to 13.9% -- Net cash topped US$285.4 million -- Final dividend of US51.0 cents per share, total dividend per share for the year (exclude a special dividend of US30.0 cents per share in the financial year 2007) up 26.0%

VTech Holdings Ltd (HKEx: 303; LSE: VTH; ADR: VTKHY) today announced its annual results for the year ended 31st March 2008, reporting record revenue and profit, as net profit margin again expanded.

Revenue for the Group increased by 6.0% over the financial year 2007 to US$1,552.0 million. Profit attributable to shareholders rose 17.9% to US$215.7 million. Earnings per share rose 16.7% to US89.4 cents. In light of the continued increase in profitability, together with the very strong Group balance sheet, the Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of US51.0 cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of US12.0 cents per share, this gives a total dividend for the year of US63.0 cents per share. Excluding a special dividend of US30.0 cents per share in the financial year 2007, the total dividend per share for the financial year 2008 increases 26.0% over the previous financial year.

"Despite challenging economic conditions, VTech reported record revenue and profit and we were able to expand net profit margin for a third consecutive year. The solid result reflects the success of our strategy, with its focus on the four key areas of product innovation, gains in market share, geographic expansion and operational excellence," said Mr. Allan Wong, Chairman and Group CEO of VTech Holdings Limited.

Margin Improves Further

While rising costs posed a challenge to all manufacturers during the financial year 2008, VTech continued to build on its track record of achieving margin improvement, based on its know-how in R&D and manufacturing. The Group leveraged its economies of scale, re-engineered products and increased productivity through better utilisation of manufacturing capacity. At the same time, stringent quality control ensured that products met customer expectations, helping to raise sales.

Telecommunication Products (TEL) Business Strengthens Position

Revenue at the TEL business rose 4.1% over the previous financial year to US$688.0 million and the business accounted for 44.3% of Group revenue. In contrast to the financial year 2007, growth was mainly driven by increased sales to Europe, Asia Pacific and emerging markets, where VTech mainly operates an Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) business.

Sales to Europe grew by 42.9% to US$180.3 million, mainly buoyed by increasing sales to existing customers as the business delivered more price competitive products through its new technology platform. Sales to the Asia Pacific and emerging markets also rose by 126.1% and 32.3% respectively, with notable sales growth from Australia, Brazil and India.

Adding to the ODM business, in December 2007, the Group entered into a joint venture with Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH (FEC), a leading supplier of network and communications solutions based in Germany. FEC will provide expertise and software for the development of integrated access devices, with VTech responsible for hardware design and manufacturing. The first shipment is expected in the final quarter of the financial year 2009.

Sales to North America, where VTech operates a branded business using the VTech and AT&T brands, declined by 7.3% to US$476.8 million. Although sales to Canada increased markedly, this could not offset the decline in the United States where customers reduced inventory in anticipation of an economic slowdown. VTech nonetheless continued to outperform the competition in the United States and gain market share.

Strengthening its leadership position, on the technology side, VTech added to its track record of industry "firsts" by introducing a cordless phone with instant messaging capability. The new AT&T DECT 6.0 series, meanwhile, brought to the market phones that deliver the best range and voice clarity using a proprietary antenna technology.

In cutting edge design, the popular V.Mix range allows users to customise handsets with their own graphics. The new V.Style series also created a new trend and standard of high-end industrial design cordless telephones in stores.

Traditional Electronic Learning Products (ELP) Boost Sales

The ELP business achieved a record performance for the third consecutive year, with revenue increasing by 8.0% to US$615.7 million, equivalent to 39.7% of total Group revenue, as innovative products supported by increased shelf space boosted growth. In Europe, revenue increased by 13.5% to US$296.1 million, as VTech maintained its long-established leadership in its principal markets. Sales in North America also posted gains, rising 3.5% to US$291.1 million. Traditional ELPs led the way, with good sales across the board, although sales of the award-winning Whiz Kid PC Learning System(TM) were not up to expectation.

The maturing of the basic V.Smile platform led to an easing off in sales of both consoles and cartridges. Consequently, contribution of the V.Smile range to total ELP sales declined to 40.7%, compared to 51.0% in the previous financial year. Nonetheless, the V.Smile console and cartridges continued to be the top selling platform items in the electronic preschool category in the United Kingdom, France and Germany in the calendar year 2007.

To augment the basic console, three new members of the V.Smile family have been launched in the calendar year 2008. The new V-Motion(TM) console combines educational video gaming with a wireless motion-activated controller. Together with the associated game titles, it creates an interactive gaming experience that engages both minds and bodies. The new Cyber Pocket(TM) joins the existing V.Smile Pocket(TM) in the Group's offering of handheld educational gaming systems. To complete the line-up, PC Pal(TM) is an interactive TV educational game console equipped with a wireless keyboard, a mouse and a writing pad, teaching young children basic computer skills such as typing and mouse manipulation.

Both V-Motion and Cyber Pocket include V.Link(TM), a USB drive that connects children to VTech's secure online site to unlock bonus games and track their learning progress. These new V.Smile products are also compatible with the entire existing V.Smile Smartridge library, which, in the calendar year 2008 will be joined by eight new titles.

In addition to the strengthened V.Smile family, major product launches in the calendar year 2008 also include the KidiCreative(TM) line and Create-A-Story (TM). KidiCreative is a line of products that offer high tech creative play for children. It includes the award-winning Kidizoom Camera(TM), KidiArt Studio(TM), KidiJamz Studio(TM) music keyboard and KidiDoodle(TM) game pad. Create-A-Story is a TV connected interactive reading system that lets children create their own animated stories involving their favourite Disney characters.

Record Performance at Contract Manufacturing Services (CMS)

The CMS business achieved a fourth consecutive record, with revenue for the financial year 2008 increasing by 6.5% to US$248.3 million, accounting for 16.0% of Group revenue. The growth was driven by new customers in professional audio equipment and radio frequency products.

VTech continued to build its reputation in the Electronic Manufacturing Services industry and is increasingly winning business through word-of-mouth recommendation. This is especially true for professional audio equipment, which accordingly became the largest product category, accounting for 26.8% of total CMS revenue, followed by switching mode power supplies at 25.4%, home appliances at 13.0% and wireless products at 13.0%.

While North America raised its share of total CMS revenue to 40.4%, Europe remained the largest market at 45.7%, followed by Asia Pacific at 13.9%. Good progress was made in developing Japanese customers, who have been impressed by the new dedicated facility.

The quality of the service VTech offers was again evidenced by a number of supplier awards. Despite continued cost pressures, the CMS business has been able to mitigate the impact of cost increases through economies of scale and leveraging the procurement power of the Group. The business was also able to pass on some cost increases to customers.

Outlook

"It is prudent not to foresee growth for the financial year 2009, as economic conditions in our markets, especially the United States, are worsening. In addition, cost pressures will continue owing to the high oil price, rising labour costs and inflation in mainland China. Nevertheless, we remain positive about our future. Our track record in product innovation, dominant position in many markets, strong balance sheet and operational excellence should allow us to strengthen our competitive position. We will continue to manage costs closely and focus on our four strategic drivers for expansion," said Mr. Wong.

In the TEL business, the ODM business is expected to grow, as competition weakens and VTech continues to develop emerging markets. The joint venture with FEC will start to contribute to sales in the final quarter of the financial year.

Although the branded business will be affected by the slowing US economy, new product categories that will bring incremental sales are to be launched. These include AT&T office headsets and a new range of enterprise phones for medium sized businesses.

For the ELP business, market conditions will be challenging. Not only is the US economy slowing, but competition is increasing, while the benefit the Group has reaped from an appreciating Euro is unlikely to continue.

Nonetheless, the global toy business has historically performed relatively well during economic downturns. We also have a sound strategy that should allow us to grow the business. Continued innovation in products remains at the core of this strategy and this will help rejuvenate the V.Smile range. V-Motion, an interactive educational gaming system that engages both minds and bodies, is already on the shelves. It will be joined by Cyber Pocket, a new handheld version to complement the V.Smile Pocket. Both of these products feature USB connectivity, offering more value to consumers.

Following the success of V.Smile, which brought a new dimension to the ELP business, the Group is working to create other new categories that can become major growth drivers. One of the new product lines to be launched during the financial year 2009 is the KidiCreative line, which offers high tech creative play for children.

The prospects for the CMS business looks promising and further sales increases from both existing and new customers are anticipated. The business will continue to focus on medium sized customers and maintain our edge in quality and cost. In mid 2007, the CMS business set up a six sigma team to improve operational efficiency and this is beginning to yield results. Work processes are being streamlined and automation increased in order to reduce the dependence on labour, raise productivity and improve product quality. The business is also consolidating the supplier base and strengthening relationships with fewer suppliers to ensure it achieves the most favourable pricing.

"We should not underestimate the challenges that lie ahead, but with leadership in our markets, a strong balance sheet and a highly efficient manufacturing capability, VTech should benefit in the longer term from the industry consolidation that will ensue," concluded Mr. Wong.

About VTech

VTech is one of the world's largest suppliers of corded and cordless telephones and electronic learning products. It also provides highly sought-after contract manufacturing services. Founded in 1976, the Group's mission is to be the most cost effective designer and manufacturer of innovative, high quality consumer electronics products and to distribute them to markets worldwide in the most efficient manner.

Hooper Holmes Announces Sale of Claims Evaluation Division

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hooper Holmes today announced the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's Claims Evaluation Division (CED), a unit providing independent medical exams primarily for automobile and workers' compensation insurance carriers for use in evaluating claims.

The sale was completed in two transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.6 million. In one transaction, the CED's operations in New York State, known as D&D Associates, Allegiance Health and Medimax, were sold to DDA Management Services, LLC. In another transaction, the CED's operations in Michigan, known as the Michigan Evaluation Group, were sold to J&P Michigan Evaluation Group Inc. Both transactions closed on Monday, June 30.

"Divesting the Claims Evaluations Division is a strategic move that will strengthen our balance sheet and enable us to focus on and invest in our core businesses," said Roy H. Bubbs, President and CEO of Hooper Holmes.

The decision to sell the CED was based on several factors, including the subsidiary's limited ability to significantly contribute to the long-term strategic goals of the Company. The company expects to record a net gain of approximately $1.0 million in connection with the transaction.

Nokia, the NRW Government and the City of Bochum to Create a "Growth for Bochum" Program

ESPOO, Finland, July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia , the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and the City of Bochum jointly unveiled a plan today to stimulate growth, create new jobs and generate investment for Bochum and the neighbouring cities. The agreement underlines Nokia's and NRW's commitment to the region following the closure of the Bochum facilities.

The main elements of the "Growth for Bochum" package, which will be executed under the joint responsibility of the parties, are:

- A proactive, international campaign to attract suitable investors to Bochum and the surrounding region in order to create long term employment opportunities in the area. - The establishment of an "Entrepreneur Centre" in Bochum to develop and grow new companies which will create high quality employment. The business sector focus of the centre is to be decided. - The creation of a Chair at the Bochum University or a similar mechanism to ensure the commercialization of scientific research. - Finding a suitable buyer or investor for the Nokia facilities in Bochum to ensure job creation on the site with financial support.

In addition, the Parties agreed on financial support for the surrounding region of Bochum.

Nokia will support these measures by contributing the sum of 20 million euros plus the net proceeds from the sale of Nokia's production facility and property in Bochum. NRW will also contribute a co-investment in the amount of 20 million euros.

The details of the above measures will be finalized in the near future.

"We said in January that, as a responsible company, we would work together with the employee representatives, unions, NRW Government and City of Bochum to find ways to support employees and Bochum's future growth both during and after the difficult process of closing the factory. We are pleased to now announce this important milestone," said Nokia Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Rick Simonson.

"This agreement with the NRW Government and the City of Bochum aims to create jobs and bring new companies to the Bochum region. All parties share the strong belief that the "Growth for Bochum" program will provide a good impetus for sustainable job creation in Bochum and the region," Simonson added.

NRW Economics Minister Christa Thoben said: "Following the social plan agreement between Nokia and the works council it was important for the NRW Government to agree to a future-orientated solution for Bochum. Nokia has made this solution possible, and we are satisfied with the result."

The City of Bochum also welcomed the outcome of the negotiations. "It is not easy for Bochum to deal with the loss of Nokia. However, I am pleased that we will receive strong support from Nokia and NRW in the search for investors and in identifying new job creation opportunities," said Bochum Mayor Dr. Ottilie Scholz.

As part of the plan Nokia and NRW have also discussed the issue of the subsidies paid to the company in the late 1990s and both parties now consider this issue closed.

Under the terms of the partnership, MTS and MySpace will develop an exclusive service for the subscribers of MTS Russia that will become part of MTS' WAP-portal. In addition, the companies are planning to launch an MTS-branded community on MySpace Russia website to drive usage and support the partnership.

"We are looking forward to introducing over 60 million customers of MTS in Russia, the largest subscriber base in the country, to the leading social network, MySpace," said Pavel Roytberg, product and service development director of MTS Russia.

Roytberg continued, "This partnership fits well into our strategy of providing Web 2.0 and social networking capabilities for our subscribers. The new service from MySpace on our WAP-portal will also allow us to explore innovative marketing initiatives, such as viral marketing. The pairing of the leading mobile and social networking brands will bring increased portability and greater access to customers of both MTS and MySpace and enrich the mobile user experience."

"MySpace is known for its networking and creative solutions which revolutionized social networking.

MTS is the leader in value-added services (VAS) in Russia, with a 32% market share of VAS revenues and a 43.2% share of mobile content revenues in Q1'2008[1]. The partnership with MySpace builds on MTS' commitment to developing advanced content and data solutions for customers to allow mobile access to communication and information sources previously only available at home.

New Forum and Conference Extend Chief Executive China's Role as the Best Source of Information for China's Top Executives

BEIJING, July 3 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China's C-level executives looking for their next competitive advantage now have two entirely new learning opportunities from Global Sources' Chief Executive China ( http://www.ceconline.com/ ), the leading international management magazine and website serving China's business elite.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030303/LNM011LOGO-b )

World-famous author and MIT professor, Dr. Peter Senge, will host the first "Chief Executive China Guru Conference Series" on September 11 in Shanghai. Dr. Senge, called "one of the 20 most influential business strategists" by The Wall Street Journal, is the renowned author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, and a senior lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Subsequent "guru" conferences will be held quarterly, featuring world-famous business thinkers invited to China by Chief Executive China.

In addition, the first-ever "Stanford-Chief Executive China Learn & Play Executive Development Program", developed in partnership with California's Stanford University ( http://www.stanford.edu/ ), will begin on November 21, with continuing programs each quarter. Stanford University is widely recognized as the world's top business school for entrepreneurs. The "Stanford-Chief Executive China Learn & Play Executive Development Program" marks the first time that Chinese executives will have direct access to Stanford University professors in China. The program uses an innovative approach that combines intensive learning and relaxed networking tailored for China's business executives.

"These exciting executive education programs are truly groundbreaking for China," said Craig Pepples, Global Sources Chief Operating Officer and Publisher of Chief Executive China. "These specialized programs bring the world's top business thinkers to China, giving China's business elite face-to- face learning opportunities at the highest level."

Stanford-Chief Executive China Learn & Play Executive Development Program: Four Weekends of Intensive Learning and Fun Networking

Fewer than 100 Chinese C-level executives will have the opportunity to participate in the ground-breaking program with Stanford. Unlike more traditional eMBA programs, the joint Stanford-CEC program takes place over four weekends spread across the year. Each weekend focuses on a different management topic, and is hosted by Stanford's leading expert in that area. In lectures, case studies and conversations, participants will have many opportunities to engage with Stanford professors and develop new ideas about how to better manage their particular business. In addition to intensive academics, participants will also have time to network with each other by playing golf and other sports.

DOCDATA N.V. Will Publish 2008 Half-Year Results on 29 July 2008

WAALWIJK, The Netherlands, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The management of DOCDATA N.V. today announces that the Group will publish the consolidated figures for the first half of the 2008 financial year on Tuesday 29 July 2008 by issuing a press release at 07.30AM Amsterdam time, before opening hours of the stock exchange. Consequently, the management will discuss the 2008 half-year results in a meeting for which both financial press and analysts will be invited, to be held at 10.30AM Amsterdam time in the Mercurius room of the Financieel Nieuwscentrum Beursplein 5 of NYSE Euronext Amsterdam (Beursplein 5, 1012 JW Amsterdam, +31-20-5505505).

Originally, the announcement of the 2008 half-year results was scheduled for Thursday 17 July 2008, as disclosed in the overview with important dates in the 2007 Annual Report of DOCDATA N.V. The changed planning predominantly has two causes, based on which management decided to take (on this occasion) more time for the preparation of the consolidated figures to be published by DOCDATA N.V.:

- effective 1 January 2008, the organisation structure of the Group has been changed from a country organisation to a divisional structure, with the Internet Service Company docdata and the Technology Company Industrial Automation Integrators identified as two separate organisations. The comparable figures for the first half of the 2007 financial year will also have to be based on this new structure;

- the integration and inclusion in the consolidation during the first half of the 2008 financial year of two recent acquisitions, which have resulted in a majority interest of the Group in Pegasus e-Business GmbH in Germany (70% starting 1 January 2008) and in Hitura Ltd. in the United Kingdom (61.2% starting 1 February 2008). For both acquisitions, a valuation in respect of the purchase price allocation, which is required under IFRS, has been performed.

------------------------------------------

DOCDATA N.V. has been listed at the NYSE Euronext since 1997 and exists of two different organisations, docdata and Industrial Automation Integrators.

The Internet Service Company docdata (http://www.docdata.com) is an European market leader with a strong basis in The Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom, and exists of four divisions:
