Qiao Xing Universal Releases Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2007

-- Best Year Ever with All Major Indicators of Financial Performance at Record-high --

HUIZHOU, Guangdong, China, July 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. today filed its 2007 annual report on Form 20-F.

Fiscal Year 2007 Highlights -- Net sales were Rmb 3,874.1 million (US$ 531.1 million), an increase of 20.3% from 2006. -- Gross profit was Rmb 975.1 million (US$ 133.7 million), an increase of 71.1% from 2006. -- Income from operations was Rmb 717.5 million (US$ 98.4 million) an increase of 119.0% from 2006. -- Gross margin was 25.2%, compared to 17.7% for 2006. -- Net results after extraordinary gains were a net income of Rmb 903.9 million (US$ 123.9 million), compared to a net loss of Rmb 19.8 million for 2006. -- Basic earnings per share after extraordinary gains were Rmb 24.95 (US$ 3.42), compared to a basic loss per share after extraordinary gains of Rmb 0.84 for 2006. 2007 Business Review

"2007 was an extremely exciting and fruitful year. Through its IPO, the value we had built up over the years in our major subsidiary Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. was partially recognized in XING's income statement as a gain on the sale of stocks by a subsidiary of Rmb 384.0 million (US$ 52.6 million). We are so pleased to see that in 2007, our net sales, gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, net income and basic earnings per share of common stock of XING reached a record-high," Mr. Wu Rui Lin CEO and Chairman of Qiao Xing Universal said.

In 2007, the Company's major subsidiary CEC Telecom Co., Ltd. (CECT) sold approximately 3,816,000 units of mobile phones (an increase of 68.7% compared with the previous year), further strengthening its competitive position among domestic mobile phone players. CECT's outstanding performance validates its strategy of building a highly profitable business by developing innovative, differentiated, high-margin handsets.

Huizhou Qiao Xing Communication Industry, Ltd (QXCI), another of the Company's subsidiaries, faces increasingly intense competitive pressure in both the indoor telephone and the mobile phone industries. Against this backdrop, its mobile division sold more than 1,000,000 units of mobile phone handsets in 2007, an increase of over 50% compared to 2006. Its COUSN-branded lower-end mobile phone with ultra long standby hours won great popularity in the domestic market. The sales revenue of its indoor phone business for 2007 increased slightly compared to 2006 while many of its domestic peers experienced a decline in sales. For its future development, QXCI sacrificed some revenue and gross profit by clearing at low prices inventories of conventional indoor phone sets to expedite the shift in the composition of the product portfolio from conventional phones to higher-end value-added products.

Outlook

Mr. Wu said, "We remain optimistic about our mobile phone and indoor phone business. Regarding the CECT-branded mobile phone handset business, as competition continues to intensify in the Chinese handset market, our strategy is to try to maintain profitability by developing differentiated handsets that consumers appreciate. We began the year of 2008 with the addition of a number of low cost handsets to the CECT-branded product portfolio, causing our total revenue and average selling price ("ASP") figures to decline. However, since these handsets are still quite unique at their respective price ranges, we have been able to maintain their margins at a higher level, which is the main reason behind our ability to raise our overall gross margin for the period in question. We expect our ASP to rise again later in the year with the introduction of a number of higher-end phones, which will help us maintain our profitability in the CECT-branded mobile phone handset business. So far as sales and marketing of the CECT-branded handsets are concerned, we will continue to establish differentiated distribution channels, including TV infomercials, which proved to be very successful in 2007, and internet platform, which is expected to play more important role in distribution."

The Company expects that in 2008, sales revenue from its COSUN-branded mobile phone business will grow by over 30%. QXCI will take more initiatives to better deploy its distribution channels, including cooperation with telecom operators to supply customized mobile phones and expansion into overseas markets. It also plans to launch a series of unique lower-end and middle-end products with differentiated functionalities, including mobile phones fitted with a binocular or a remote temperature sensor.

As for the QXCI's Indoor Phone Division, it will continue to shift its focus to value-added products like internet-related products and payment terminals with fixed line telephone functions. It expects that domestic sales and the related gross margin in the Indoor Phone Division will increase significantly compared to 2007. In addition, the sales revenue from the export of indoor phones is expected to continue its trend of fast growth in 2008.

McGraw-Hill Higher Education Delivers Digital Solution With ALEKS Math PlacementUniversity of Illinois Increases Student Pass and Retention Rates By Accurately Placing Students With System Utilizing Artificial Intelligence

NEW YORK, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- With algebra course failure rates at nearly 50 percent in many colleges and universities nationwide due to inaccurate student placement, higher education institutions are in urgent need of a reliable method for evaluating and placing students into introductory math classes. Over the last two years, the University of Illinois has been using ALEKS, a Web-based software system that employs artificial intelligence, to address the issue of accurate student placement, thereby significantly increasing student pass rates.

Now, the University has entered into a contract for the use of ALEKS, developed by ALEKS Corporation, a leader in the creation of Web-based artificially intelligent educational software. ALEKS digital solutions are made available to colleges and universities nationwide by McGraw-Hill Higher Education, a leading provider of electronic and print learning materials.

"We are sharply focused on integrating technology into the classroom to enhance learning and drive student achievement," said Ed Stanford, president of McGraw-Hill Higher Education. "A prime example of that successful integration is the ALEKS placement solution offered through McGraw-Hill and available to colleges and universities across the U.S. This digital tool is ideal for measuring a student's mathematical skills with precision."

Previously, the University of Illinois had experienced lower pass rates among students taking its introductory math courses. The lower pass rates resulted in students who were unable to continue their education because they lacked math course requirements. To remedy the situation, administrators and faculty at the institution -- led by Alison Ahlgren, coordinator for math placement -- opted to try ALEKS based on its unique approach, which instead of multiple choice, uses adaptive questioning to determine exactly what a student knows, doesn't know, and is ready to learn next in a course.

"Before ALEKS, the SAT and ACT exams along with high school transcripts, were the only measurement tools used to gauge students' math capabilities. The use of these tools alone often prevented us from accurately determining the proper math course placement for students," said Ahlgren. "With ALEKS, we've been able to fundamentally shift our approach to math assessment, resulting in a more successful math placement and greater student retention rates."

At the heart of ALEKS is an artificial intelligence engine that assesses each student individually and continuously. In approximately 45 minutes, ALEKS assesses the student's current mathematical knowledge by choosing each question on the basis of the student's answers to all the previous questions. Each set of assessment questions is unique and avoids multiple choice questions. When the student has completed the assessment, ALEKS produces a precise report of the student's mathematical knowledge.

ALEKS is a ground-breaking technology developed from research at New York University and the University of California, Irvine, by a team of software engineers, mathematicians, and cognitive scientists with the support of a multi-million-dollar grant from the National Science Foundation. "ALEKS is a powerful tool that zeros in on the strengths and weaknesses of a student's mathematical knowledge, reports its findings to the student, instructor, and test administrator, and provides a very accurate assessment of the math course that is most appropriate for the student," said Wil Lampros, president of ALEKS. "The University of Illinois is a perfect example of how ALEKS can be used to solve placement problems, improve pass rates and retain students."

McGraw-Hill Higher Education offers an array of digital products and learning tools designed to provide new paths to educational success for students and instructors. Developed by leading experts in content development and instructional technology, McGraw-Hill's digital products and services include online courses, ebooks, homework management programs, tutoring, assessment solutions and additional resources for students such as iPod content and online learning resources.

About McGraw-Hill Higher Education

McGraw-Hill Higher Education is a premier provider of teaching and learning solutions for the post-secondary and higher education markets worldwide. It is a unit of McGraw-Hill Education, a leading global provider of instructional, assessment and reference solutions that empower professionals and students of all ages.

Through adaptive questioning, ALEKS accurately assesses a student's knowledge state, and then delivers targeted instruction on the topics a student is most ready to learn.

Lockheed Martin Breaks Ground on $15 Million Advanced Radar Test and Measurement Facility

SYRACUSE, N.Y., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin broke ground July 11 on a $15 million, 9,600 square foot radar test facility that will provide the company with one of the world's most advanced, large-antenna measurement systems.

The new 80' tall structure will be added on to the existing EP-6 building at Lockheed Martin's Radar Systems facility in Syracuse, NY. Once complete in summer 2009, the facility will house one of the largest high-precision, spherical near-field radar test and measurement systems.

The new facility will house state-of-the-art measurement equipment that will be used to design, analyze, characterize and test future radar systems ranging from the smallest systems to next-generation digital phased array systems. It will have the capability to perform highly-accurate antenna, radar system and radar cross-section measurements at a wide range of frequencies. The equipment will allow users to fully automate a precision antenna measurement process from set-up through analysis and report generation.

A key component of the facility will be its electromagnetically-shielded anechoic chamber. Lined with special foam to absorbs radio frequency (RF) radiation and suppress potentially interfering external acoustics and frequencies, the chamber will provide greater test security of sensitive government equipment.

"Our new radar test facility will support next-generation sensor development for 21st-century radar systems with extremely accurate and rapid antenna signal characterization capabilities," explained Carl Bannar, vice president of Lockheed Martin Radar Systems. "The facility's design will ensure that our customers' requirements for protecting allied troops and providing homeland defense are met for the most demanding applications."

An early user of the new facility will be the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS), a mobile air and missile defense system designed to replace Patriot systems in the United States and Germany and Nike Hercules systems in Italy. Lockheed Martin's Syracuse facility is developing the new MEADS surveillance radar and will contribute significant software and hardware components of the MEADS Multifunction Fire Control Radar.

In 2007, Lockheed Martin Radar Systems awarded MI Technologies of Suwanee, GA a $9.9 million contract to design and build the radar test and measurement facility. The company is a leading supplier of RF and microwave antennae and radar cross section testing products, systems and services.

Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.

TI unveils lowest power zero-drift instrumentation amplifier for portable, precision applicationsDevice improves accuracy and extends battery life

DALLAS, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing an unmatched combination of precision, low power and low supply voltage, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today introduced the industry's lowest power zero-drift instrumentation amplifier. The device features the lowest quiescent current and lowest input bias current versus the nearest competition, as well as an impressive power-to-noise ratio, very low offset voltage/drift and 1.8 V operation. Consequently, the INA333 improves accuracy and stability while extending battery life in a variety of precision, low-power applications such as portable medical, handheld instrumentation, weigh scales and data acquisition. (See http://www.ti.com/ina333-pr.)

"Customers are consistently demanding higher precision combined with lower power and lower operating voltages in order to increase the performance and value of their sensor signal acquisition systems," said Art George, senior vice president of TI's High-Performance Analog business unit. "The INA333 leverages our expertise in analog signal conditioning to deliver a new standard for precision, low-power instrumentation amplifiers and enable our customers to gain a competitive advantage in the market."

The INA333 utilizes TI's zero-drift technology, which incorporates a proprietary switched-capacitor notch filter to eliminate chopping noise and provide very low input voltage noise of 50 nV/rt-Hz. The device features a versatile three op amp architecture to simplify design and reduce board space.

With only 75 uA of quiescent current and operation on power supplies as low as 1.8 V, the INA333 maximizes power efficiency. Low offset voltage of 25 uV and offset drift of 0.1 uV/C deliver excellent accuracy and long-term stability. Applications with high impedance sources will benefit from low input bias current of 200 pA.

Special filters have been integrated in series with the inputs of the INA333 to reduce radio frequency (RF) interference. This can dramatically reduce susceptibility to RF-induced offset voltage variations, which can be a critical advantage in applications that require DC stability, such as weigh scales.

The INA333 joins TI's state-of-the-art signal chain solution for precision, low-power applications: analog-to-digital converters such as the ADS1158; operational amplifiers such as the OPA333; digital isolators such as the ISO721; and temperature sensors such as the TMP102. The INA333 is also optimized to work with TI's MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller family.

ESCO Announces Electric AMI Selection at Idaho Power

ST. LOUIS, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ESCO Technologies Inc. today announced that ESCO's Aclara Power-Line Systems Inc. TWACS(R) advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution has been selected by Idaho Power (IPC) for its entire electric service territory.

The total value of purchase orders anticipated to be issued under this contract are approximately $25 million and the system is expected to be deployed over a three year period beginning in early 2009.

IPC is involved in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy in a 24,000 square mile area in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon serving approximately 500,000 metered endpoints.

IPC initially deployed the TWACS power-line solution several years ago with a 25,000 unit deployment intended to substantiate the business case for AMI and to test customer response to time-of-use billing and demand response / load control programs. The successful performance of this technology over the past few years was a significant factor in IPC's decision to expand to a system-wide TWACS deployment.

IPC plans to purchase the most advanced TWACS meter modules to collect interval data for current billing needs and to support planned time-of-use billing and demand response programs that are designed to allow the utility and its customers to better manage energy consumption and related energy costs.

Bruce Kessler, President of Aclara Power-Line Systems Inc., commented, "We are pleased that Idaho Power has decided to expand its existing TWACS installation to meet its AMI needs within its vast service territory. We believe Aclara's versatile, proven at scale, power-line solution is the most cost-effective AMI system for utilities such as IPC, which have both rural and urban service areas, to collect meter data and to provide advanced demand response and time-of-use programs to meet customers' energy needs today and well into the future."

On2 Technologies Partners with China Central Television (CCTV) to Deliver Video Coverage of the Beijing Olympics Over the WebCCTV VOD service uses On2 VP6-based Adobe(R) Flash(R) video

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc. , a leader in video compression technologies, announced today that China's nationwide broadcasting network, CCTV, will use On2 Flix(R) Engine to encode and publish video coverage of the Beijing Olympics on its domestic web site http://www.cctv.com/. CCTV, the official internet and mobile phone broadcaster of the 2008 games, will deliver an exclusive video on demand service using On2 VP6-based Adobe Flash video across its network of more than 1000 servers; bringing 24/7 accessibility of the 2008 Beijing Olympics to China's internet users.

Channel 5, dubbed the "Olympic Channel" earlier this year, is spearheading the move to On2 VP6 based Flash video for CCTV. By using On2's Flix Engine, CCTV will benefit from the latest encoding tools for the format which deliver up to a 40% performance improvement over legacy VP6 encoders, and are particularly effective for encoding fast movement sequences characteristic to sports coverage.

"Our bandwidth costs are very high as we need to support a large number of concurrent downloads, and this will inevitably increase during the Olympics," says Mr. Shan Xiaolei, Director, Technology Management Commission, CCTV. "On2 have helped us quickly address this problem by contributing the Flix Engines we need to publish our sports coverage in TrueMotion(R)-based Flash video."

By using On2 technology, CCTV is able to reduce the bandwidth needed to deliver high quality web video by as much as 40%. Following this initial collaboration, CCTV intends to expand the use of On2's solutions to deliver video across multiple screens.

"We are pleased to provide CCTV with the technologies they need to deliver a high quality VOD service in time for the Olympics," says Eero Kaikkonen, Chief Marketing Officer, On2 Technologies. "We see this as the beginning of a long term partnership that will see our two companies working together to lay the foundation of web TV in China."

Flix Engine is a leading server side platform for encoding and publishing Flash video. The On2 VP6 video compression scheme is used by many of the leading UGC sites, CDNs and content owners including Facebook, Daum, Eurosport, Akamai and Brightcove to encode all genres of video targeted for web delivery in Flash format. Coupling high quality with low datarates and supporting cue points and alpha channel in Adobe Flash, VP6 is proprietary to On2 Technologies, and as such does not bear content royalties like those levied by MPEG-LA. For more information, visit http://www.on2.com/.

About On2 Technologies

On2 creates advanced video compression technologies for desktop and wireless. Powering the video in many of today's leading web and mobile applications and devices, On2's customers include: Nokia, Infineon, Mediatek, Sony, Facebook, Brightcove, Move Networks, Adobe and Skype.

myPhotopipe.com Posts 25% Increase in Second Quarter RevenuesRecord Revenues in First Half of Year Exceed Prior-Year Levels by 30% as Popularity of Internet Ordering with Mail Delivery Continues to Expand within Digital Print Processing Market

ATLANTA, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- myPhotopipe.com, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MPPC), a web-based online provider of digital photo processing and related services, today announced its operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/CLTU023)

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, revenues increased 25% to $423,610, compared with revenues of $337,676 in the second quarter of 2007. The Company reported a net loss of ($26,757) in the most recent quarter, versus a net loss of ($5,341) in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company's revenues rose 30% to a record $789,939, compared with revenues of $609,810 in the first half of 2007. The Company reported a net loss of ($100,482) in the first half of 2008, versus a net loss of ($51,700) in the corresponding period of the previous year.

"Over the last six months, we have strengthened our Company from a personnel perspective, and we are very pleased with the results we have already seen from these crucial hires," stated L. Douglas Keeney, Chief Executive Officer of myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "While this added to our net loss for the second quarter and first half of the year, we feel that we have improved our 'bench' to execute our plans and to match the investments made in technology in the past. We now feel that our team is in place to carry us through the balance of the year."

"We have accomplished a great deal since transitioning from film to digital, and from regional to national," added Keeney. "Revenues have grown every quarter, when compared with prior-year periods, since we unveiled our online digital photo processing model, and I am pleased to report another quarter of record revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008."

"Our customer base has increased almost ten-fold since the end of 2005, and we are well-positioned to accelerate our rate of revenue growth as more and more professional and serious amateur photographers look to the Internet as their preferred method of ordering prints from digital images. Our future prospects are further bolstered by the growing popularity of high-end digital cameras. A couple of years ago, high-end 7+ megapixel cameras represented a tiny portion of the market, whereas such cameras accounted for 70% of industry sales in 2007. Increasingly, professional photographers are deserting the local camera store and moving their work stream online. myPhotopipe.com's stand against low-margin photo mugs and mouse pads has paid off for us, both in an ever-widening reputation for quality and our ability to focus on innovations in the 'real' product of the digital age -- the print itself."

"Our focus on technology has also helped us better serve our partners, including the Department of Homeland Security, Getty's iStockphoto, Blurb, and numerous other companies," continued Keeney. "Our Company's recent participation in http://www.photographybooknow.com/ allowed us to showcase our capabilities alongside the industry's top brands in a competition to find and reward the creator of the world's best photo book. We believe such opportunities clearly illustrate the outstanding quality that we deliver to customers, thereby expanding market recognition for myPhotopipe.com. Online ordering with mail delivery is expanding its share of the print processing market and now accounts for about one of every six prints made from digital images. This is a trend that holds great promise for myPhotopipe.com, and we look forward to continued revenue growth and a transition to sustainable profitability in the foreseeable future."

myPhotopipe.com, Inc. is one of the few "pure play" online digital photo processors. The Company serves serious amateur and professional photographers with more than 1,000 print and surface combinations. Its innovative use of digital photo tools has resulted in the creation of several unique print options for customers, including the only multi-photo prints, the first catalog of preset panoramic prints, FolioPrints with Embedded Digital Effects, and PRPrints for professional sports organizations and celebrities.

Canadian Solar Announces Preliminary Unaudited Results for its Second Quarter 2008 Ended June 30, 2008

JIANGSU, China, July 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. ("the Company", "CSI" or "we") today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Preliminary net revenues for the second quarter 2008 are expected to range from $210 to $214 million, compared to the forecasted range of $185 to $190 million. The preliminary net revenue includes approximately $6 million of silicon and other sales.

The gross profit is expected to be in the range of $33 to $35 million. During the quarter, the company shipped approximately 47MW of solar module products, including about 2.2MW of UMG e-Modules and a small amount of tolling business.

As a result of the induced conversion of $74 million of our 6.0% convertible senior notes due 2017 on June 27 2008, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $10 million equal to the fair value of the common shares and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of common shares issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. However, this one-time, non-cash charge is more than offset by the interest cost savings the Company will realize through early conversion of the notes.

Dr. Shawn Qu, CEO of CSI, remarked, "We are very pleased with the Company's performance in the second quarter. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees as well as a confirmation that demand for both our regular and e-Module products remains very strong. We have already achieved nearly $400 million in revenue in the first half of 2008 and remain on track to meet or exceed our full-year revenue guidance of $750 to $870 million, based on solar module shipments of 230-260MW."

Based on market forecasts, customer orders and supply contracts, CSI reiterates its full-year 2009 forecast and expects to deliver 500-550MW of solar modules including both its high-efficiency regular module products and lower-cost e-Modules.

Second quarter preliminary results are subject to change following the completion of the Company's normal quarter-end review process. A news release announcing the official second quarter 2008 results will be disseminated on August 13, 2008 before the NASDAQ stock market opens.

Investor Conference Call / Webcast Details

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today announced that iPhone(TM) and iPod(R) touch users have already downloaded more than 10 million applications from its groundbreaking new App Store since its launch late last week. Developers have created a wide array of innovative mobile applications ranging from games to location-based social networking to medical applications to enterprise productivity tools. Users can wirelessly download applications directly onto their iPhone or iPod touch* and start using them immediately. More than 800 native applications are now available on the App Store, with more than 200 offered for free and more than 90 percent priced at less than $10.

Phoenix HyperSpace(TM) to Power Breakthrough in OS-Independent PC Security for New NEC NotebooksAnti-Virus Software Running In Phoenix's New Embedded Virtual Environment Will Provide Unprecedented Levels of Security For NEC Customers

MILPITAS, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Phoenix Technologies Ltd. , the global market leader in core system firmware, today announced that NEC (TOKYO:6701) will be among the first PC manufacturers to integrate Phoenix HyperSpace, a virtualized operating environment that enables instant-on applications running independently and alongside the Windows operating system. NEC has signed an agreement with Phoenix which will allow the leading PC OEM to deliver unprecedented levels of security for NEC notebook customers, enabled by HyperCore(TM), Phoenix's firmware-based hypervisor.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070410/SFTU048LOGO)

The Phoenix HyperSpace environment includes ManageSpace(TM), which enables security applications to operate before, during and after Windows Vista(TM) boots up and shuts down. As a result, NEC notebooks will be secured BEFORE malware gets downloaded by Windows applications. This is possible because virus definition files are updated in ManageSpace while preventing Windows access to the network.

"Phoenix HyperSpace complements Vista and transforms mobile computing," said Woody Hobbs, President and CEO of Phoenix Technologies. "HyperSpace and HyperCore provide the foundation for PC manufacturers, OEMs and ODMs to deploy a host of new instantly available applications, including advanced security software, to provide a simpler, more satisfying and reliable experience for mobile PC users. NEC will be able to demonstrate the power of HyperSpace by providing new levels of security for users. We're pleased to see the first HyperSpace-enabled application and notebooks reaching the market."
