Trade Promotion Effectiveness Study to be Focus of DemandTec Webinar September 18, 2008Research Identifies Food & Beverage Manufacturers as Outpacing Industry Peers in Key Trade Effectiveness Measures

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DemandTec, Inc. , a leading provider of on-demand optimization solutions for retailers and consumer products manufacturers, will present a summary of recent primary research from AMR Research that examines trade promotion effectiveness in the consumer products industry. The webinar, entitled Who is Driving Trade Effectiveness?, is to be held at 2:00 PM EST, Thursday, September 18, 2008, and will feature presentations by Lora Cecere, research director at AMR Research, and Armen Najarian, senior director, product marketing at DemandTec.

Based on a study entitled Trade Promotion Effectiveness: Strengthening Shareholder Value for Consumer Goods Companies, the webinar will review how companies demonstrating trade promotion best practices outperform those identified as having less effective trade promotion strategies. The study includes a quantitative survey of 100 leading consumer products manufacturers, as well as qualitative input from retail executives and Wall Street analysts who cover the industry.

The webinar will also discuss how food and beverage manufacturers have focused their trade investment strategies and delivered better shareholder value versus their non-food industry counterparts.

"When AMR Research started the study, we believed that non-food CPG companies -- which are larger and have significantly higher IT budgets and greater margins than the average food and beverage company -- would be more effective at trade promotions. But we were wrong. Food and beverage companies are making better use of price and promotion optimization technologies than non-food CPG companies," said AMR Research's Cecere.

Among the key discussion points for the webinar are:

-- How demand-shaping activities, including promotion management activities, list-price management and new product introductions intended to lift sales are rising in importance at the expense of sales incentives.

-- Reasons why food and beverage firms are more confident that their trade spending levels are on target, as compared to consumer products firms.

-- Why price promotions remain the largest share of the trade spending mix for both food and beverage firms and consumer products firms.

-- How more than half of respondents report using predictive simulations and optimization tools to calculate baseline volume and projected case lift for planned trade promotions.

"This study outlines how the consumer products industry at large is focused on getting more return out of trade spending. Our customer success shows that pairing the right predictive trade planning tools with a capable and informed user base drives the right decisions to be successful at retail," said DemandTec's Najarian.

AXS-One Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

RUTHERFORD, N.J., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AXS-One Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: AXSO) , a leading provider of high performance Records Compliance Management (RCM) software, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2008.

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $3.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 35% from the second quarter 2007 revenues of $2.5 million. License revenue for the second quarter was $1.1 million, an increase of 109% compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. Service revenue for the second quarter was $2.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 16% from the second quarter of 2007. Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $5.5 million, a decrease of 10% percent compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $2.1 million, a $1.4 million or 41% improvement from the second quarter 2007 operating loss of $3.6 million. The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2008, or $(0.07) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $3.7 million in the second quarter of last year, or $(0.10) per diluted share.

Highlights for the second quarter include:

-- Announcement of AXS-One as a visionary in the 2008 Gartner Inc.'s report: "Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Active Archiving".

-- Wins and new sales opportunities across disparate industries including public sector, manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceutical. This reflects the position maintained by the Company that every organization will need software assistance to manage their electronic records.

-- A major competitive replacement at an international medical device provider, continuing the trend of competitive wins as organizations reevaluate their archiving technology and vendor selection.

-- Announcement of a patent-pending new product, Dynamic Data Migrator(TM). The product leverages the Company's current archiving and electronic records management technology to provide a unique approach for organizations migrating their messaging platform from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange.

-- Endorsement from Microsoft of Dynamic Data Migrator and expansion of AXS-One's current partnership with the company. Microsoft has identified their "Notes Transition Program" as a strategic initiative for the current fiscal year and, per their quote in the product announcement, is excited by the product's ability to "have a dramatic effect on the cost and time it takes customer to migrate."

Bill Lyons, Chairman & CEO of AXS-One, commented, "We are seeing steady progress in our core business of electronic records archiving and are particularly excited about the opportunity presented by Microsoft to migrate millions of users that have already committed to convert from Notes to Exchange, using our software products and methodology. We are actively engaged with the Microsoft team, which has validated and endorsed our technology and methodology and are now introducing us into their client opportunities. We expect this partnership to drive a significant improvement in our financial results starting this year."

For the first six months of 2008, total revenues were $7.3 million, an increase of 17.4% compared with total revenues of $6.2 million for the first six months of 2007. License fees were $2.5 million, up 10.5% from the $2.3 million in license fees for the first six months last year. Total operating expenses were $11.2 million for the first six months of 2008, a decrease of 11.3% from $12.6 million in the prior year. The operating loss narrowed to $3.9 million for the first six months of 2008, down from an operating loss of $6.4 million in the first six months of last year. The net loss for the first six months of 2008 was $4.7 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $6.3 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share for the comparable prior-year period.

"Corporate leaders continue to recognize the importance of implementing electronic records management solutions as a key risk management tool," Mr. Lyons continued. "The changes in the processes for litigation, including the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), remain a catalyst for us as enterprises recognize the need to pro-actively manage their electronically stored information (ESI). This trend demonstrates that industry leaders recognize the growing trend in this area, and increasingly see AXS-One as an emerging leader. As a pioneer in providing archiving and electronic records management for disparate record types for 15 years, AXS-One is uniquely positioned to exploit this emerging and accelerating opportunity."

Document Capture Technologies Second Quarter 2008 Financial ResultsAchieves $0.04 in GAAP EPS for Second Quarter

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Document Capture Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: DCMT) , a leading provider of secure imaging solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

-- GAAP net income available to shareholders increased to $746,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share from an $(81,000) loss, or $0.00 loss per share in the year-ago period

-- Operating income swung $479,000 to $302,000 compared to an operating loss of $(177,000) in the year-ago period

-- Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 60% to $681,000 from $1.7 million in the year-ago period

-- Strengthened balance sheet through tight inventory control and debt reduction; shareholders' equity increased to $1.4 million for the period ended June 30, 2008 from a deficit of $(280,000) at December 31, 2007

Subsequent Highlight

-- Edward M. Straw, retired US Navy Vice Admiral and senior business executive, named Chairman of the Board of Directors

Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $3.0 million, a 19% decrease compared to $3.7 million in net sales for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in net sales in the quarter was primarily due to the overall slowdown of the general economic and market conditions in the U.S. economy and the related slowdown of information technology ("IT") spending as well as decreased demand from the banking, financial, and insurance sectors.

David P. Clark, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We regained profitability and continued to generate healthy cash flow in the quarter. Although our 2008 sales have thus far been affected by the general economic slowdown of the U.S. economy, we have kept a watchful eye on our operating expenses while we refocus on our core mobile scanner business. The positive effects of our expense reduction can be seen at the operating and net income level and we are pleased with the financial progress we made in the quarter. We continue to generate cash from operations and fully expect GAAP profitability for the year."

Mr. Clark continued, "During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, our European sales, to which we have paid greater attention, continue to show strong growth. We have nearly doubled our distribution network within this market during the last six months compared to the year-ago period. We expect this trend to continue as we have improved our ability to deliver all channel products from our Netherlands-based warehouse, improved our time-to-market and reduced our logistics and shipping costs. We used a good portion of the cash we generated during the quarter to pay down debt and shareholders' equity increased to $1.4 million this quarter from a deficit of $280,000 at the end of December 2007. We expect this trend to continue in the third quarter.

Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2008 were $2.0 million, resulting in a gross profit of $983,000, or 33% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $1.5 million, or 42% gross margin, based on $2.2 million cost of sales for the second quarter of 2007. The decreased gross margin in the second quarter of 2008 was directly attributable to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese Yuan, and also negatively impacted by lower sales in the period. The gross margin increased over Q1 2008 and the Company is working to continue that trend.

Bill Hawkins, DCT's President and COO commented, "In the quarter, we continued our efforts toward reducing our cost-of-goods-sold, which has helped offset the impact of the weakening dollar against the Chinese Yuan. We continue to experience some softness in orders as our larger VAR (Value Added Reseller) channel orders are often related to large capital expenditures, particularly in the healthcare, banking and financial sectors. We are encouraged by the initial success of a product pilot project with a new customer. We are confident that several unique (vertical) integrations of our technology will deliver efficiencies and a competitive advantage as they roll out in the remainder of 2008 and the early part of 2009. We continue to introduce new products that meet our customer's needs including one in early June that has drawn a very positive response. Two additional new products are expected to be introduced before the end of the year."

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were $681,000, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 60%, from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 48% to $511,000 from $974,000; and research and development expenses decreased 77% to $170,000 compared to $749,000 in the year-ago period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of the termination of HD display-related activities in November 2007 as well as lower stock-based compensation costs (a non-cash charge), which were somewhat offset by increased personnel costs, including those related to the costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the termination of all R&D activities related to the HD display development efforts.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $302,000 compared to a net operating loss of $(177,000) in the year-ago period, representing an operating margin of 10%. GAAP net income for the second quarter 2008 increased by $596,000, or 368% to $758,000 compared to GAAP net income of $162,000, for the second quarter 2007. GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $746,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share (based on 18.4 and 20.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding, respectively) compared to a GAAP net loss of $(81,000), or $0.00 per basic and diluted share (based on 21.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding) for the second quarter of 2007. The 2008 second quarter's net results were favorably impacted by a change in fair value of derivative instruments and the gain on sale of assets totaling $575,000, and partially offset by the increased interest expense.

On a non-GAAP* basis, net income available to stockholders in the second quarter of 2008 was $537,000 compared to a non-GAAP net income of $79,000 in the second quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP net income excludes certain non cash items, including stock-based compensation cost, and the accounting for derivative instruments.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $5.5 million, a 29% decrease compared to $7.8 million in net sales for the same period in 2007. The decrease in net sales in the quarter was primarily due to the overall slowdown of the general economic and market conditions in the U.S. economy and the related slowdown of "IT" spending as well as decreased demand from the banking, financial, and insurance sectors.

GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $278,000 compared to a GAAP net loss of $(646,000) for the year-ago period. GAAP net loss attributed to common stockholders was $(67,000), or $0.00 per basic and diluted share (based on 17.5 million weighted average common shares outstanding) for the first six months of 2008 compared to a GAAP net loss of $(1.1) million, or $(0.05) loss per basic and diluted share (based on 22.9 million weighted average common shares outstanding) for the same period in 2007. On a non-GAAP* basis, net income available to stockholders in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $586,000 compared to a non-GAAP net income of $436,000 in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net income excludes certain non cash items, including stock-based compensation cost, and the accounting for derivative instruments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million, working capital of $2.1 million, and a current ratio of 2.1 to 1 at June 30, 2008 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million, working capital of $3.0 million and a current ratio of 2.1 to 1 at December 31, 2007.

Mr. Clark concluded, "Subsequent to the end of the quarter, there were some important changes to our Board, highlighted by the Board's unanimous consent naming Edward M. Straw as Chairman. We welcome Mr. Straw's participation on the board and his 30-year track record as a leader in global logistics and supply chain management and believe he, as well as the rest of the board, will be a valuable asset to our management team. Through Ed's extensive contact network and relationships we believe he will be a key contributor to current initiatives we're working on, as well as the development of our customer base and sales pipeline with the objective of accelerating our top-and bottom-line growth."

*In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, DCT uses non-GAAP measures of net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation costs in accordance with SFAS 123R and the non-cash accounting for derivative financial instruments. DCT's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of DCT's ongoing core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors.

Synergx Systems Inc. Announces Third Quarter and Nine Month Results

SYOSSET, N.Y., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synergx Systems Inc. reported the following results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

THREE MONTHS NINE MONTHS 2008 2007 2008 2007 Revenues $4,539,000 $4,174,000 14,909,000 $11,893,000 (Loss) From Operations (690,000) (91,000) (1,014,000) (343,000) Interest (Expense) (12,000) (36,000) (95,000) (101,000) Gain on Equity Investment 83,000 (Loss) From Operations (703,000) (128,000) (1,109,000) (361,000) Net (Loss) (754,000) (77,000) (1,213,000) (300,000) (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted ($.14) ($.01) ($.23) ($.06) Weighted Average Common and Potential Dilutive Common Shares Outstanding 5,210,950 5,210,950 5,210,950 5,210,950

The increase in revenues during the three month period ending June 30, 2008 was primarily due to an increase in sales of fire alarm product, subcontract, and service. The increase in revenues during the nine month period was primarily due to higher shipments with respect to transit projects.

The loss from operations in the 2008 periods was impacted by the following:

Gross profit decreased notwithstanding increased revenues due to a shift in product mix. Selling, general and administrative costs were increased by a $355,000 charge for separation costs related to the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a charge of $547,000 for the resignation of both the CEO and the President of the Company's principal operating subsidiary during the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

The net loss from operations, for the three and nine months periods ended June 30, 2008, includes a $50,000 and $100,000 deferred income tax expense, for the respective periods ($.01 and $.02 per share), from a valuation allowance for future utilization of the Company's deferred tax asset. Also, no current income tax benefit was recorded for the 2008 operating loss and therefore the valuation allowance at June 30, 2008 was increased by an additional $440,000 (amounting to $.08 per share). In contrast, the net loss from operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007 included a $80,000 valuation allowance (amounting to $.02 per share in each period ended June 31, 2007) regarding the future tax benefit to be realized from losses of Secure 724 LP.

For the nine month period of 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $83,000 on the sale of its investment in Secure 724 LP.

The Company's order position, excluding service, at June 30, 2008 was $12,800,000 compared to $11,100,000 at September 30, 2007. Management believes that shipments and product mix will be more favorable in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 although there can be no assurance that the Company will secure the necessary releases to ship and/or that the favorable product mix will materialize.

Management noted that its results include product development costs which have been increased to a level of $99,000 and $267,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. In connection with its development program the Company secured regulatory approval for component and feature modernization of its proprietary life safety systems allowing the commencement of a sales and marketing program in New York City. The sales and profit benefit from this effort are expected to commence in fiscal 2009.

The Company was required and did secure a waiver of the net worth covenant in its Credit Facility as at June 30, 2008. There can be no assurance that future waivers will be secured if required.

Mr. Paul Mendez was quoted saying: "As the new President and CEO of Synergx during the past 8 weeks I have been engaged in the discovery of the challenges that face the Company. As is obvious from the historical financial results, there exist numerous problems, both at the company level and in the markets in which Synergx operates. Our goal at this time is to address the company problems and evaluate its components. The challenge is to try to raise prices, maintain revenue levels and lower overhead. In the current economic climate this will be difficult."

Synergx is engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and service of a variety of data communication products and systems with applications in the fire alarm, life safety, security and communication industries.

inTEST Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- inTEST Corporation , an independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) interface solutions and temperature management products, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $11.5 million, compared to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. Our net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $(1.4) million or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.3) million or $(0.14) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008.

Robert E. Matthiessen, President and Chief Executive Officer of inTEST commented, "The weakening of the macroeconomic environment in the second quarter posed significant challenges to our overall profitability and growth. Bookings decreased in the second quarter of 2008 to $10.0 million, compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. Our negative results for the second quarter were driven by the Manipulator and Docking Hardware product segment. At the end of the second quarter we implemented a restructuring of this product segment and reduced headcount by 18% and shortened the workweek for certain employees. We will continue to concentrate on this segment's cost structure, new product releases and sales efforts during the third quarter of 2008."

"Despite these challenges, we posted sequential revenue growth and built our market share in the tester interface and thermal management markets. In July, we closed on the acquisition of Diamond Integration, a small test floor services company based in Texas, which we anticipate expanding through our global network. This acquisition has become part of the Manipulator and Docking Hardware product segment and will give us exposure to a line of business that is normally driven by our customers' generally stable operating budgets rather than their volatile capital budgets."

(Quorum), non- GAAP operating margin in 2Q08 was 9.8%. -- GAAP net income decreased 6% year-over-year and sequentially to US$2.6 million. Recent Business Highlights: -- Spreadtrum announced and began sampling its SC6600V mobile TV solution, an integrated CMMB demodulator and source decoder chip that supports both AVS and H.264 video decoding standards. -- Spreadtrum hosted its annual technology forum on June 17-18.

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spreadtrum Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRD; the "Company"), one of China's leading wireless baseband chipset providers, today announced its second quarter 2008 financial results. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.06 in the second quarter of 2008 (2Q08), a decrease of 14% from US$0.07 in the same period in 2007 (2Q07) and unchanged from US$0.06 in the first quarter of 2008 (1Q08). Net income for 2Q08 was US$2.6 million, a decrease of 6% from US$2.8 million in 2Q07 and 1Q08.

US GAAP net income for 2Q08 included US$1.7 million of share-based compensation expense and US$0.6 million of amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition. Excluding the impact of this share-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, the Company's non-GAAP net income for 2Q08 would have been US$4.9 million, up 13% from US$4.3 million in 2Q07 and down 3% from US$5.0 million in 1Q08. Diluted non-GAAP earnings per ADS in 2Q08 was US$0.11, flat from US$0.11 in 2Q07 and Q108.

Commenting on the results, the Company's President and CEO, Dr. Ping Wu, said: "We are pleased that we were able to achieve our financial guidance in light of several factors that made this a challenging quarter. The Chinese consumer market this year has been negatively affected by a number of events, including a major snowstorm that disrupted travel and consumer spending around the time of the Chinese New Year, flooding in southern China, a major earthquake in May, a slower-than-anticipated overall development in TD-SCDMA, the disruption to business travel and logistics brought about by the Beijing Olympics, an approximate 50% decline this year in the value of the local stock market that has reduced consumers' spending power, and an approximate 8% increase in CPI. These factors have contributed towards a slowdown in the Chinese consumer market and continue to have a negative impact on our customers' business and financial conditions. We are also affected by a few company specific issues, including a delay in our Mocor software platform, which affected our 6600R baseband and which delay has since been corrected, and slower-than-anticipated transition by our customers to our 6600H and 6600R basebands. Customer design activities on our 6600H and 6600R basebands have picked up in Q2, especially after our technology forum, and we believe some of these new designs should enter into volume production sometime in the fourth quarter.

As a result of these factors, we expect Q3 to be a very challenging transition quarter for us. Despite these short-term difficulties, we are focused on positioning Spreadtrum to capture the long-term growth opportunities in this market and improving our product development process and internal execution. We offer to our customers a mobile solutions platform that includes basebands for GSM feature phones and smartphones, basebands for TD-SCDMA handsets and data cards, RF transceivers that work with these basebands and more, a mobile TV baseband, and a common software platform.

We are seeing more design activities around our 6600R and 6600H basebands and believe that these basebands compare well against competing products. After a slow start, we are seeing higher attach rates of our RF transceiver chips in our customers' new cellphone designs, which we believe should translate into meaningful volume once the new designs go into mass production. We are encouraged by our customers' favorable response to our 6600V mobile TV chip and, having used initial samples of our customers' TD-SCDMA and GSM versions of mobile TV phones over the past few days to watch the Olympics, we are quite pleased with the quality of the viewing experience. We believe that mobile TV will be an important new feature for the Chinese consumer market going forward and, being the only supplier with both basebands and mobile TV solutions currently, we believe we should be able to benefit from this growing opportunity. On the TD-SCDMA front, we are encouraged that China Mobile is proceeding with a plan to build out phase two of its TD-SCDMA network beyond the initial 8 cities that were selected for commercial trial. This bodes well for sales of TD-SCDMA handsets next year and for sales of our TD-SCDMA baseband."

Second Quarter 2008 Financial Review Revenue

Revenue in the second quarter totaled US$40.2 million, representing an increase of 25% from 2Q07 and 2% from 1Q08. Revenue from baseband semiconductors was US$38.7 million, or 96% of revenue, up from 85% of revenue in 2Q07 and 90% of revenue in 1Q08. Revenue from turnkey solutions was US$1.5 million, which represented 4% of revenue, down from 15% of revenue in 2Q07 and 10% of revenue in 1Q08.

Revenue from baseband semiconductors grew 42% from 2Q07 and 9% from 1Q08 to US$38.7 million. Unit shipments of baseband semiconductors increased 54% from 2Q07 and 9% from 1Q08. Nearly all baseband semiconductor shipments in the second quarter were 2G/2.5G related products. 3G products accounted for less than 1% of the baseband shipments in 2Q08. The average selling price per unit for baseband semiconductors declined by 8% from 2Q07 and 1% from 1Q 08.

Revenue from turnkey solutions decreased during the quarter by 69% from 2Q07 and 62% from 1Q08 to US$1.5 million, as a result of the Company's ongoing plan to phase out its modules business.

Gross Margin

The gross margin for the quarter was 45.2%, down from 45.5% in 2Q07 and up from 44.9% in 1Q08. The non-GAAP gross margin was 45.4%, down from 45.7% in 2Q07 and up from 45.1% in 1Q08.

The cost of revenue in 2Q08 totaled US$22.1 million, representing increases of 26% from 2Q07 and 1% from 1Q08. The year-over-year increase was driven by an increase in the total cost of baseband semiconductors from higher volumes partially offset by a decline in the total cost of turnkey solutions. The total cost of turnkey solutions declined as the Company continued to de- emphasize its SM5100 series module business. The sequential increase was primarily driven by an increase in inventory write-down in 2Q08 partially offset by a decline in the total cost of turnkey solutions.

Operating Margin

The Company's operating margin was 4.2% in 2Q08, compared to 7.9% in 2Q07 and 5.1% in 1Q08. The year-over-year decrease in operating margin was primarily attributed to higher R&D expense as a percentage of revenue. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Quorum, whose primary activities are the research and development of radio frequency transceivers. The sequential decrease in operating margin was attributed to higher R&D and SG&A expenses, as percentages of revenue. Excluding stock- based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, the non-GAAP operating margin in 2Q08 was 9.8%, down from 12.6% in 2Q07 and 10.8% in 1Q08.

Total operating expenses in 2Q08, which include selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses, were US$16.5 million, representing increases of 36% from 2Q07 and 5% from 1Q08. Total operating expenses for the quarter represented 41.0% of revenue, compared to 37.6% and 39.9% of revenue in 2Q07 and 1Q08, respectively. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, total non-GAAP operating expenses in 2Q08 were US$14.3 million, representing increases of 35% from 2Q07 and 6% from 1Q08. Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter represented 35.6% of revenue.

SG&A expenses increased in 2Q08 by 25% from 2Q07 and 8% from 1Q08 and represented 12.9% of revenue, compared with 12.9% of revenue in 2Q07 and 12.1% of revenue in 1Q08. The year-over-year dollar increase was driven primarily by higher investor relations, marketing and legal expenses, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense. The sequential dollar increase was driven primarily by higher investor relations and legal expenses, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.

R&D expenses in 2Q08 increased 42% year-over-year and 3% sequentially and represented 28.1% of revenue in 2Q08, compared to 24.7% in 2Q07 and 27.8% in 1Q08. The year-over-year dollar increase was driven primarily by the Company's efforts to expand its product portfolio and the impact of the Quorum acquisition. The sequential dollar increase was primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses and a decrease in government grants for R&D projects, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.

Non-Operating Income

In 2Q08, the Company recorded net interest income of US$0.5 million, representing an increase of US$0.2 million from 2Q07 and a decrease of US$0.3 million from 1Q08. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributed to interest earned from investing a higher balance of cash and cash equivalents. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, as a result of the share repurchase program and declines in interest rates.

The other income in 2Q08 was US$0.9 million, an increase of US$0.8 million from 2Q07 and US$0.3 million from 1Q08. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily attributed to increases in foreign exchange gain.

Earnings

Diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.06, down 14% from US$0.07 in 2Q07 and flat from US$0.06 in 1Q08. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS for 2Q08 was US$0.11, flat from US$0.11 in 2Q07 and in 1Q08.

The Company's net income totaled US$2.6 million in 2Q08, a decrease of 6% from US$2.8 million in 2Q07 and in 1Q08. The net margin was 6.5%, down from 8.6% in 2Q07 and 7.0% in 1Q08. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, non-GAAP net margin was 12.1% in 2Q08, down from 13.3% in 2Q07 and 12.7% in 1Q08.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had US$68.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which represented a decrease of US$28.3 million from March 31, 2008 due primarily to the US$14.9 million cash spent on the share repurchase program and US$6.6 million cash transferred to term deposits. In 2Q08, the Company also used US$7.5 million cash for operating activities and US$1.0 million cash on property and equipment.

Accounts receivable (A/R) increased from US$1.4 million at March 31, 2008 to US$17.4 million at June 30, 2008, as the Company extended credit terms to some select customers in 2Q08. As a result of the increase in A/R, average A/R days increased from 4 days to 21 days. As of July 31, 2008, the Company has collected US$5.1 million of its A/R and none of the outstanding receivables was past due. Inventory at June 30, 2008 was US$17.8 million, a decrease of $2.5 million from March 31, 2008, and the inventory days decreased from 85 days to 73 days. Total assets as of June 30, 2008 were US$250.6 million, down 3% from US$257.5 million at March 31, 2008.

Current liabilities increased from US$28.0 million at March 31, 2008 to US$32.6 million at June 30, 2008, primarily due to an increase in the current portion of long term notes payable and accounts payable. Long-term liabilities at June 30, 2008 were US$16.9 million, compared to US$19.8 million at March 31, 2008, primarily due to a reclassification from long-term notes payable to short-term notes payable.

Business Outlook:

As stated earlier in this press release, a number of factors have negatively affected our customers' business this year. In addition, Spreadtrum is also affected by delays in its Mocor software platform and in customers' transition to its newer basebands. As a result, Spreadtrum currently expects revenue in the third quarter to be approximately US$20 million, which represents a sequential decrease of approximately 50% from the US$40.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. Spreadtrum estimates its 3Q08 gross margin to be 43%-45% and its 3Q08 operating expenses to be in the range of US$17-18 million.

The Company expects to see improvements in the fourth quarter as business activities return to normal after the Beijing Olympics is over and new design wins using the Company's 6600R, 6600H, 6600V, and RF chips go into volume production.

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition. The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the Company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin, non- GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the US GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Listed below are the share-based compensation amounts included in net income that management excludes in computing the non-GAAP financial measures referred to in the text of this press release. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented after the consolidated balance sheets.

Florida, Mass., Consumers Now Have High-Speed Access to the InternetVerizon Launches Broadband Service in First of 24 New Communities

FLORIDA, Mass., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers and businesses in this tiny western Massachusetts community now have access to the Internet -- at rocket speeds powered by Verizon.

Starting Wednesday (Aug. 13), Verizon High Speed Internet service is being offered throughout Florida, one of 24 western Massachusetts communities where broadband Internet access has been unavailable. Verizon is planning to offer the service to the 23 other communities this year.

The service will give Internet users the ability to download at speeds of 768 Kbps (kilobits per second), 21 times faster than the current dial-up capability in Florida.

"This is a historic day for the town of Florida and for Verizon," said Donna C. Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, who declared Verizon High Speed Internet service "open for business" in Florida.

"We are proud to be able to bring the benefits of broadband Internet service to consumers in Florida today and soon to thousands more consumers in western Massachusetts," she said. "Verizon's investments in Massachusetts have and will continue to be a major contributor to growing the state's economy."

Earlier this year, Verizon announced it is investing $200 million to expand its network in Massachusetts, including bringing its High Speed Internet service to the 24 western Massachusetts communities.

By year's end, Cupelo said, Verizon expects to also make the service available in Becket, Blandford, Colrain, Cummington, Goshen, Hancock, Heath, Leverett, Leyden, Middlefield, Monroe, Montgomery, New Ashford, New Marlborough, Pelham, Plainfield, Rowe, Sandisfield, Tolland, Washington, Westhampton, Windsor and Worthington, and to make the service more widely available in Shutesbury.

The company will notify potential customers of the availability of the service in a number of ways, including direct mail, media advertising and contact with local officials in each community. Consumers can also visit http://www.verizon.com/ma for additional information.

When the work is completed, Verizon expects High Speed Internet service will be available to 70 percent of the company's customer lines, on average, in the 24 towns. The new broadband deployment of Verizon's High Speed Internet network will reach three-fourths of the western Massachusetts communities identified by the state as having no high speed broadband services.

State Rep. Daniel E. Bosley, chairman of the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies and a leading proponent of broadband expansion in western Massachusetts, commended Verizon for its efforts. "After years of working toward this goal, it is good to see that the residents of Florida and many other unserved towns in the North Berkshire/Franklin County communities will be able to get online," said Bosley. "I look forward to working with Verizon to roll out broadband in all of our communities."

Verizon High Speed Internet service pricing starts at $19.99 per month.

The service is delivered on a dedicated line from Verizon's central office to the customer's home and is backed by live, 24 x 7 customer service and technical support. High Speed Internet subscribers have access to an extensive collection of features and services, including online protection with Verizon Internet Security Suite; Verizon Enhanced E-mail; Verizon Premium Tech Support; Online gaming; free news from ABC News Now; free sports from ESPN360; and more.

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers.

Aon eSolutions Launches Clinical Trials ModuleProvides risk managers with comprehensive overview of clinical trials, including exposure and required coverage

CHICAGO, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aon eSolutions, the client technology arm of Aon Corporation and the leading provider of global risk and insurance solutions, today announced it has launched a new Clinical Trials module as part of RiskConsole, the market-leading, browser-based risk management information system (RMIS).

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20041215/CGW049LOGO)

Developed in conjunction with the Life Sciences practice of Aon Risk Services, RiskConsole's new Clinical Trials module enables risk managers to monitor all of the clinical trials in which their organizations are involved, the total exposures represented by those trials, and the required insurance coverage. At the same time, RiskConsole enables organizations to streamline the management of clinical trials, providing visibility into project status across studies.

Clinical trials and clinical research is the process of testing the safety and efficacy of new drugs and medical devices before they're approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. General and professional liability coverage is required throughout this testing process. As a result, sponsoring pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, as well as participating healthcare facilities and professionals, need to carefully track, assess, and manage clinical trial risks in order to obtain adequate coverage.

"Risk managers may find it challenging to keep track of the many clinical trials taking place at their institutions, and obtaining an overview is time-consuming and resource intensive," said Kathleen Burns, chief executive officer of Aon eSolutions. "With RiskConsole, risk managers have the ability to monitor clinical trials worldwide, so they have an immediate and comprehensive understanding of the trials underway and the extent of the exposure."

Increased globalization of clinical trials presents additional challenges for life sciences companies. Aon's 2008 Clinical Trials Risk Map charts the complex insurance requirements and risk management needs that exist for companies conducting clinical trials globally. For instance, in 53 percent of the countries included in Aon's analysis, businesses must include a certificate of insurance in their regulatory filing package.

The RiskConsole Clinical Trials module tracks coverage required by government agencies in various host countries, and whether proper insurance documentation was provided to regulators. The system also acts as a valuable planning tool that enables companies to better manage the entire life cycle of a clinical trial. Other key features and benefits include:

-- The ability to track certificates of insurance and T85 protocol documents electronically. -- Time-stamping enables risk managers to monitor and determine the current stage and ongoing progress of trials. -- A user-friendly graphical dashboard identifies when critical milestones are met. -- Multi-currency, multi-lingual capabilities accommodate the need to monitor clinical trial exposure worldwide. -- Automatic scheduling of reports and distribution of alerts to notify companies of potential problems, adverse events, or non-compliance. -- Real-time coordination of communication and activities among various stakeholders, including the risk manager, researchers, project managers, clinical directors, brokers, and underwriters.

"Clinical trials are essential to bringing new drugs or medical products to market, but missteps in the placement of insurance can delay or disrupt the process, resulting in costly financial implications," said James Walters, managing director of Aon Risk Services' Life Sciences practice group. "To date, companies used paper-based processes and spreadsheets to track clinical trials. RiskConsole offers a web-based platform to streamline this process and ensure proper coverage has been secured."

About Aon

Aon eSolutions is the client technology solutions arm of Aon Corporation . We provide innovative products, services and solutions to meet the diverse and varied needs of risk and insurance professionals.

SpectraScience Awarded Patent for Correcting Image Misalignment

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SpectraScience, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SCIE) , a San Diego-based medical devices company, today announced that it has been awarded a patent for correcting image misalignment between at least two images in a sequence of images due at least in part to tissue sample movement. The patent, U.S. Patent No. 7,406,215, is titled "Methods and systems for correcting image misalignment."

Jim Hitchin, SpectraScience's CEO, commented, "This is another key patent in our broad patent portfolio that furthers our commitment at SpectraScience to develop better, more reliable cancer screening technologies.

The patent is important to the Company's optical biopsy technology because, in screening for some forms of cancer, the optical response of the tissue is captured in a sequence of images that are characterized by analyzing the time-dependent response of the tissue as recorded in the sequence. During this type of screening, the tissue may move while images are being taken, resulting in a spatial shift within the image frame field. Being able to correct for this shift increases the effectiveness of the optical biopsy procedure. Tissue movement can be caused by the natural movement of the patient during the procedure, which can occur despite a patient's attempts to remain completely still. This patent provides for an accurate analysis of the sequence of images which would otherwise be misaligned due to movement of the tissue.

Hitchin added, Accurate imaging is critical to earlier and more effective identification of abnormal, pre-cancerous and/or cancerous tissue, and this invention provides methods of determining a correction for a misalignment in the imaging process that will make our screening devices more powerful to the physician and more important to the patient."

SpectraScience has filed for 60 patents worldwide on its WavSTAT(R) Optical Biopsy System and LUMA(R) Cervical Imaging System that are used to diagnose tissue to quickly determine if it is normal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous. The WavSTAT and LUMA Systems are currently approved by the FDA for detecting pre-cancer and cancer in the colon and cervix, and an evaluation for detection of pre-cancers in the throat ("Barrett's esophagus") is being tested.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause SpectraScience's actual results to differ materially from results discussed in forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by SpectraScience in this news release, its most recent Form 10-K and in SpectraScience's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect SpectraScience's business. These forward- looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the cautions and risk factors filed by SpectraScience in its annual report on Form 10-K and other documents.

About SpectraScience, Inc.

SpectraScience is a San Diego based medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets spectrophotometry systems capable of determining whether tissue is normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous without physically removing tissue from the body. The WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System uses light to optically scan tissue and provide the physician with an immediate analysis. With FDA approval for sale in the U.S. and the CE Mark for the European Union, the WavSTAT System is the first commercially available product that incorporates this innovative technology for clinical use. The Company's LUMA imaging technology has received FDA approval for an optical non-invasive system that is proven to more effectively detect cervical cancer precursors than conventional methods available in the market today.

Moms Say Math is the Most Important Skill for a Child's Future SuccessWorking Mother and Texas Instruments survey reveals parents lack knowledge about tools to help teens on college entrance tests and math homework

DALLAS, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey by Working Mother and Texas Instruments finds that most moms believe math is critical for their children's success in the future job market. However, many of these moms are not aware that the graphing calculators their teens may use in math class every day can be used to help them do well on important college entrance exams such as the SAT*, ACT and AP* tests.

Working Mother surveyed approximately 500 mothers of U.S. middle school- and high school-aged children from its Smart Moms Council panel for the Mom's Back-to-School Guide (http://www.momsbtsguide.com/), where moms can find helpful tips and resources to make their child's school year successful.(1) Of these moms, more than 55 percent said high school math is more important than any other academic course to ensure the greatest success for their child's future. Eighty-four percent believe it is important for their children to take four years of math in high school, regardless of their future academic plans.

Nearly half of moms are aware that their high school student uses graphing calculators frequently in math class, but 64 percent are unaware that graphing calculators are permitted on college entrance exams, which can be a key factor in the fiercely competitive college admissions process.

"Teens' performance on the SAT and ACT exams impacts their ability to get into the colleges and degree plans of their choice and can ultimately affect their career options," said Carol Evans, CEO and founder of Working Mother Media, including Working Mother magazine. "As a mother of two college students and CEO of a company that helps moms make a positive impact on their children's lives, I encourage parents to provide the right tools and resources for them to succeed on these exams and in school, especially in math."

Students Who Use Graphing Calculators Do Better in Math

In addition to their benefits on college entrance exams, research shows graphing calculators help students do better in math, especially when they have one to use both at home as well as in class.(2)

The TI-Nspire(TM) graphing calculator from Texas Instruments is designed with computer features that help students better visualize math concepts and deepen their understanding of math. TI-Nspire graphing calculators are allowed on SAT*, ACT and AP* tests helping students apply the math they learn in the classroom to achieve higher scores on these important college entrance exams.

Parents Need Math Help, Too

The survey, which also looked at moms' involvement with homework, found that only 36 percent of moms help their children with homework for 30 minutes or less each day as a majority of moms (68 percent) do not feel capable of helping their child with their math assignments. There are outside resources moms can turn to that can help their children, such as online tutoring from Tutor.com available 24/7 and test preparation from The Princeton Review.

"Success in math is becoming even more important in preparing our children to succeed in college and the workplace," said Melendy Lovett, president of TI's Education Technology business. "We want to ensure parents are aware of tools and resources available to help their children build a strong foundation in math."

CSC Introduces Web Service to Expedite Help to Homeowners Facing ForeclosureCSC Responds to New HOPE NOW Servicer Guidelines with Borrower Inquiry Tool

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- CSC today introduced Borrower Inquiry, a tool homeowners facing foreclosure can use to track the status of their requests for help from their mortgage servicers. This capability also will help expedite workout requests by substantially reducing inbound calls to servicers and thus freeing resources.

CSC's Borrower Inquiry is the first of several planned shared default management tools the company is designing to facilitate workouts and improve loss mitigation process efficiency. The inquiry tool, which can be used by any servicer, not just those using CSC's EarlyResolution default management software, informs borrowers of progress in accordance with new guidelines. These guidelines, called HOPE NOW Servicer Guidelines, were released in June by a federally encouraged industry alliance to expedite the process of preventing foreclosures.

With the new tool, borrowers can use a secure Web site to access updates from mortgage servicers on the status of their workouts. Credit counselors who are using CSC's EarlyResolution Counseling Portal can also track workout status from the servicer.

"Borrowers at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure are understandably in a stressful position and eager to seek a potential workout that could resolve the delinquency," said Ed Delgado, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage senior vice president and HOPE NOW Alliance Technology Committee chair. "We are focused on developing innovations to expedite the process and facilitate communication between customers and loan servicers. We believe that CSC's new tool has the potential to reduce the inbound call volume regarding workout status by as much as 30 percent. This is critical in freeing staff to focus on the larger picture of preventing foreclosures."

"This Web-accessible inquiry capability is a natural follow-on to our recently launched EarlyResolution Counseling Portal," said Kevin Schlumpf, managing director of the EarlyResolution practice within CSC's Financial Services Sector. "Servicers are struggling to keep pace with increasing loss mitigation volume and the accompanying increase of inbound calls from borrowers inquiring about their delinquency resolution status. This solution will help alleviate both issues."

About HOPE NOW

HOPE NOW is an alliance between counselors, servicers, investors and other mortgage market participants. The alliance, which is encouraged by the U.S. Department of Treasury and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is increasing its outreach efforts to homeowners in distress and creating a unified, coordinated plan to support as many as possible.

About CSC

CSC is a global leader in providing technology-enabled solutions and services through three primary lines of business. These include Business Solutions & Services, Global Outsourcing Services and the North American Public Sector. CSC's advanced capabilities include systems design and integration, information technology and business process outsourcing, applications software development, Web and application hosting, mission support and management consulting.

Woodinville, Wash., Awards Video Franchise to VerizonVote Paves the Way for Innovative, Competitive Choice for TV Service, Delivered Over the Nation's Most Advanced, All-Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers' Homes

EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of Woodinville are a major step closer to having an innovative, reliable and competitive alternative for their television services, thanks to a unanimous vote by the City Council Tuesday night (Aug. 12) authorizing Verizon to offer its fiber-optic-powered FiOS TV.

Woodinville is the eighth community in the state to grant a video franchise to Verizon, following recent approvals in Bothell, Brier, Edmonds, Everett, Kenmore, Lynnwood and Marysville. The company plans to begin offering FiOS TV in Washington later this year.

FiOS TV offers consumers a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality from the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses.

"Approval of Verizon's video franchise is great news for the residents of Woodinville, who will soon have more choice for their video entertainment," said David S. Valdez, senior vice president for Verizon's Pacific Northwest region. "We commend the mayor, City Council and city staff for their dedication and hard work throughout this process. They recognize and support the technological advantage and competitive benefits, as well as the distinctive edge in economic development and quality of life, that fiber will bring to their community."

"We look forward to reaching similar agreements with other Washington communities," said Valdez.

The new franchise gives Verizon the authority to offer FiOS TV to up to 3,600 households in Woodinville. Many Verizon customers in Washington are already enjoying FiOS Internet service, which delivers ultra-fast download speeds up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second).*

Verizon already provides FiOS TV in parts of California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.

FiOS TV Service Highlights FiOS TV service highlights include:

-- More than 400 all-digital channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming.

-- A wide array of high-definition channels, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound. The company plans to significantly expand the HD lineup to include all available major HD programming by year-end.

-- An industry-leading library of more than 11,000 video-on-demand (VOD) titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. In addition, an increasing number of VOD titles in high definition, with plans for 1,000 HD VOD titles per month by the end of the year.

-- An easy-to-use interactive media guide that integrates HD programming, on-demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience.

-- Set-top boxes ranging from a standard-definition box to the Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, a feature that lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best.

-- FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market, making FiOS TV an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Everett consumers can check online at http://www.verizon.com/fios for more information or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV becomes available. Customers also can call their local Verizon sales office or +1-888-GET FiOS (+1-888-438-3467).

Live and Mobile: MTV and Flixwagon Deliver 6 Million Video Streams To Jonas Brothers Fans During a First-Of-Its-Kind Nonstop Blogging EventMTV Broadcast Crews Armed With Video Phones Premiere Exclusive Footage and Performances Online and on MTV

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- This weekend, MTV (http://www.mtv.com/) followed the lives of rock phenoms the Jonas Brothers (http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jonas_brothers/artist.jhtml) by streaming video content on the internet while bringing footage on-air with "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile" on Saturday, August 9. In addition to the live video streams, MTV live-blogged all the goings-on behind the scenes at the Buzzworthy (http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/) blog on Friday and Saturday during the brothers' promotional tour for their new album "A Little Bit Longer" (http://www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/jonas_brothers/a_little_bit_longer).

"MTV was thrilled to have the opportunity to give fans of the Jonas Brothers a live, intimate look at a couple of days on tour. From waking up in the hotel and having breakfast on Saturday morning, taking a helicopter to a concert in the Hamptons, backstage prep moments, all the way until the brothers were under the stage as the band began their Madison Square Garden concert, viewers got the most revealing look at the Jonas Brothers to date," said Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice President, News and Production for MTV. "Bringing together our television, mobile and online production teams with Flixwagon's streaming abilities allowed us to reach our viewers on multiple platforms, simultaneously, creating a truly unique broadcasting experience for MTV."

From mid-afternoon on Friday through Sunday, August 10 at midnight ET, fans of the band visited http://jonasbros.mtv.com/ to watch 6 million streams of Jonas Brothers clips totaling 60,000 hours of content viewed, as the Buzzworthy blog received upwards of 90,000 comments on posts documenting the weekend. In comparison, the latest season of The Hills received 5 million streams during a three day period following its finale. Additionally, Saturday, August 9 marked the biggest day in the Buzzworthy blog's history with 281K page views, exceeding the previous record, set the day after the 2007 VMAs, by 14K page views.

MTV utilized an innovative mobile-to-web broadcasting technology by Flixwagon (http://www.flixwagon.com/) to stream live video footage online and on-air using mobile phones. Flixwagon's application allows anyone using a capable 3G mobile phone to easily stream live, high-quality video directly to the web. This combination of mobile broadcasting technology and as-it-happens coverage is reminiscent of News and Docs' series "Diary," but with a live and direct twist.

"Supporting this weekend's event is yet another application of how our Flixwagon technology allows companies like MTV to deliver unique marketing and branding experiences," said Eran Hess, president, Flixwagon. "Having worked with MTV during the Super Tuesday 'Choose or Lose' campaign back in February, we continue to demonstrate the scalability and flexibility of our high-quality broadcasting platform."

Throughout the weekend, viewers were treated to clips of the band on-air during commercial breaks at least twice per hour on MTV from 4-9pm ET on Friday and 8am and 10pm on Saturday, and rounded up the weekend with three clip shows on Saturday, shot entirely with mobile phones. Fans were able to see a different side of the Jonas Brothers than what they would typically be accustomed to, including a peek at how the guys prepare for a show, traveling from NYC to the Hamptons and back via helicopter, and right up until the moment that they walk on stage at Madison Square Garden.

The use of Flixwagon's mobile broadcasting technology offered a new level of flexibility and complexity as MTV bloggers posted the inside scoop from the heart of the Jonas Brothers madness live on the site. Visitors to the blog posted comments on the individual clips, and MTV's Buzzworthy blogger posed viewer questions to the Jonas Brothers, who responded through follow-up clips. All told, MTV crews shot more than 600 clips, with more than 30 hours of production going into the "Live & Mobile" event.

LocatePLUS Announces Q2 Unaudited ResultsIssues letter to Shareholders and Schedules Earnings Call

BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LocatePLUS Holdings Corporation (Pink Sheets: LPHC) letter to Shareholders:

While the first twelve months in my role as President and CEO have been challenging, they have also been an exciting time for both me and LocatePLUS. When I was privileged with the appointment to President and CEO, I knew there were many things to accomplish, and the challenges were on many fronts. My plan called for a four phase approach to rebuilding the Company. One; cut expenses, two; correct data and infrastructure issues, three; initiate a large scale sales and marketing initiative, and finally; once the business is back on track, initiate a shareholder awareness and communication program. I am pleased to report, the first two phases of my plan were completed during the first eight months, the third phase has been underway now for approximately four months, and now I am embarking on phase four.

Since the Company has had its issues in the past with living up to promises, I did not want to make statements to the public without building credibility. I believe now with two successful quarters of performance, I am in a position to reach out to the shareholders and explain what the Company has been doing over the last year, and talk about the current challenges we face.

In the first quarter 2008, revenue was $2,113,225, up over the first quarter 2007, of $2,090,156, or 1%. In the second quarter 2008, revenue was $2,102,768, up over the second quarter 2007, of $2,066,265, or 2%. These quarters represent the first quarters with year over year increases in five successive quarters of year over year declines. More importantly, total operating expenses in the first quarter 2008 were $2,092,761 versus $2,775,962 in the first quarter of 2007, or a 25% improvement. Total operating expenses in the second quarter 2008 were $2,181,570 versus $2,075,271 in the second quarter of 2007, or an improvement of 5%. The result was an operating profit for through the first six months of $47,962 in 2008, versus a loss in the first six months of $(801,111) in 2007, an improvement of 106%. Despite these achievements, we are still not yet bottom line profitable. We continue to face the challenge of servicing our debt.

As most are aware, to grow a business requires capital. Capital can either come from internally generated cash flow, an infusion of equity, or in the form of debt. Since all of our free cash flow is going to service debt, our ability to grow is limited. In addition, we currently are restricted from raising any equity because the Company has issued or reserved its total twenty five million authorized shares. Replacing current debt with new debt is not the answer, as it will leave the Company in the same situation of trying to service debt while also trying to grow. The only answer is to clean up our debt by converting it to equity. This can only happen if we are successful in our vote to increase our authorized shares. This is not only the best thing for shareholders from a growth perspective, it is required to bring the Company current with its secured debt provider.

The Company has not yet achieved the level of cash flow sufficient to service its debt. If we are unable to convert this note to equity, this debt holder will most likely exercise its right to foreclose on the assets of the Company. This would leave the shareholders with nothing.

I am aware that there is a group promising many shareholders a plan to solve our debt issue by scaring them with "dilution" and asking them to vote in our current proxy to deny an increase in authorized shares. However, what isn't known is that I had a meeting with this group. They do not have a plan. The meeting included me, this group, and money raisers, not a fund with money. I asked for their plan. One option put forth by the money raisers was to sell one hundred million shares at $0.05 to raise $5 million and clean up our debt. This was by the group claiming "dilution." I am always open to any plan that is in the best interest of shareholders, but there is no plan.

To add insult to injury, the leader of this group does not appear to own a single share of stock in LocatePLUS, so he has nothing at stake, but on the contrary stands to make a lot of money on this process. You need to question the motives of an individual like this. Now, believe me when I say I have the Company and Shareholders best interest at heart. I say this because unlike the leader of this group, I am a very large shareholder, and do have a lot to lose if they are successful in scaring shareholders into a vote against an increase. A vote against an increase will not only substantially damage LocatePLUS, but more importantly, shareholders' value.

In closing, we have made great strides in the last twelve months and the Company is on the right track. Although growth has been slower than I would like due to the legacy debt service, we have a plan to solve that problem and drive substantial growth and shareholder value. However, if we are unsuccessful in educating our shareholders as to the importance of a vote to increase our authorized shares, the Company could face severe hardship. I only hope all shareholders understand how important this upcoming vote will be and what it means for the future of the Company. I will be holding an earnings/update call on August 18, 2008 at 4:30 pm eastern time. Details for dial in instructions will be sent out in a separate release.

My Sincere Thanks; James C. Fields President & CEO About LocatePLUS

Carrier Corp. Secures Nearly 70 Percent of HVAC Contracts for Beijing Games

BEIJING, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Corp., a unit of United Technologies Corp. , achieved another milestone in its connection to the 2008 Beijing Games, securing nearly 70 percent of all heating, ventilating and air-conditioning contracts for the venues. Carrier supplied a full line of integrated systems to the Summer Games facilities, ranging from AquaSnap(R) air-cooled chillers with Puron(R) refrigerant to large centrifugal chillers to air-handling units, fan coil units and the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) controls system.

The "Water Cube" National Aquatics Center, one of the major venues for the Beijing Games, utilizes four Carrier centrifugal chillers, a control network and air-side products. Carrier's innovative technology recovers more than 50 percent of the exhaust heat in the aquatics center and then uses it to warm the swimming pool. "This technology reduces heat emission in the environment as well as the energy consumed for heating," stated Ross Shuster, president, Carrier Building Systems and Services, Asia. "Additionally, our high tier air-handling units have gone through a strict anticorrosive process to ensure long-term operation under a damp and high-chlorine indoor environment."

Another application featuring Carrier's customized solutions is the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics. Carrier's uniquely designed air-conditioning system uses a water-source heat pump to employ ground water to prepare cold and hot water for air conditioning.

The "Bird's Nest" National Stadium features the first Chinese-produced HVAC product certified by EN 1886, the highest international HVAC standards. Carrier's air-handling units have air leakage rate of less then 1 percent and each unit is equipped with Carrier's new high-voltage electrostatic air cleaner to remove airborne particles which improves indoor air quality.

To ensure that the air-conditioning systems in all venues operate smoothly and efficiently, Carrier established a Remote Monitoring Center for the Beijing Games. The high-tech center can trace and analyze the data of air-conditioning system operations and release warnings. "This service helps ensure that Carrier's air-conditioning systems are operating under optimized conditions with maximum energy efficiency," added Shuster.

One important venue in Beijing is a multi-building community that will house athletes during the games. The Beijing Olympic Village achieved LEED(R) ND (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development) certification with design consultation support from Environmental Market Solutions, Inc. (EMSI). EMSI is an environmental and green building company owned by Carrier Corp. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) awards the venue LEED ND certification at the Gold level.

With a long tradition of environmental leadership, Carrier's forward- looking view drives the company to address the environmental effect of products well in advance of regulatory timetables. Carrier was the pioneer in the global phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in 1994 and introduced Puron(R) refrigerant, a non-ozone depleting refrigerant, into air-conditioning systems in 1996. Carrier is leading the transition away from hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as well to further promoting ozone preservation. Carrier's environmental stewardship extends beyond its products. Since 1997, Carrier has doubled sales but kept energy use flat.

Carrier's Environmental Leadership

For its environmental leadership around the world, Carrier Corp. was awarded the 2007 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chinese Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, Carrier was the first HVAC manufacturer to be permitted entry into the U.S. EPA's Climate Leader program and a corporate founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council.

"Worldwide, Carrier invests in innovative products and solutions that meet the varied needs of customers in an environmentally sound manner," said Kelly Romano, president, Building Systems and Services, Carrier. "The 'green' values that are apparent in Carrier's work for the 2008 Beijing Games are the same principles that have built both the success of Carrier Corp. and our reputation for visionary environmental leadership."

Ibbotson Selected by ING Financial Advisers to Create Model Portfolios for Active ETF Strategies and Tax-Sensitive Strategies

CHICAGO, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ibbotson Associates, a registered investment advisor and wholly owned subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc. , has been selected by ING Financial Advisers, LLC to create a family of active exchange-traded fund (ETF) model portfolios that dynamically change allocation to take advantage of price trends. Ibbotson will also develop a set of tax-sensitive model portfolios that are optimized to produce low tax liabilities for investors. All of the portfolios are designed for use by financial advisors within ING Financial Advisers, a registered investment advisor. Ibbotson serves as an independent consultant to ING Financial Advisers.

"The ING Momentum ETF Strategy(TM) program is a unique approach combining investment techniques and utilizing low-cost ETFs in a way that brings value to our clients. Combining the expertise of ING and Ibbotson will allow our representatives to present innovative financial solutions that address our clients' financial needs in many different areas," said Ronald Barhorst, president of ING Financial Advisers, LLC. "We have found that higher net worth investors who understand equities are seeking exposure to more market segments and asset classes for their retirement and longer-term portfolios. The use of ETFs with broader asset allocations is a potential solution to provide greater market exposure."

Ranging from conservative to aggressive, Ibbotson's active ETF portfolios start with a strategic asset allocation to an extremely diverse set of asset classes, similar to the most sophisticated institutional portfolios. Next, Ibbotson ranks the asset classes in the active ETF portfolio based on performance. The top asset classes are overweighted while the bottom asset classes are underweighted to try to capture the momentum effect in the stock market. The portfolio comprises 20 asset classes, including traditional domestic and international equity and fixed income as well as domestic and international real estate investment trusts, listed private equity, emerging market bonds, small-cap international equity, commodities, treasury inflation- protected securities, and high-yield bonds.

"A large body of academic work suggests that asset returns have some degree of predictability. Our dynamic momentum methodology used in these active ETF portfolios is designed to take advantage of this market behavior," said Peng Chen, president of Ibbotson Associates.

For the ING Wealth Management Tax Sensitive Strategy(TM), Ibbotson constructs the asset allocation policy and selects funds, taking into consideration the tax implications for investors. Ibbotson first develops after-tax capital market assumptions for each asset class to construct the asset allocation policy. Ibbotson then selects the funds according to its proprietary tax-efficiency measure.

"We can't control the gyrations of the market, but we can create portfolios that are diversified and tax efficient to help investors achieve more stable performance and keep more of the returns," Chen added.

One area of concern to investors is the effect of taxes on portfolio earnings. "With Ibbotson's assistance we have also developed an investment advisory program that seeks to minimize the tax effect on a portfolio while taking appropriate levels of risk to maximize a portfolio's return. We are excited about these programs and the solutions we can bring to our clients," Barhorst added.

This initiative is an extension of Ibbotson Associates' consulting relationship with ING Financial Advisers. Ibbotson provides investment analysis and fund selection and monitoring services for the ING Wealth Management discretionary investment advisory program. Ibbotson is also a consultant to the ING VA Lifestyle Golden Select Program.

Groupe Moniteur Creates Powerful Platform to Manage All Digital AssetsThe French publisher deploys Nstein's full suite to power its 16 online properties

MONTREAL, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nstein Technologies Inc. http://www.nstein.com/ (TSX-V: EIN), a leader in digital publishing solutions for newspapers, magazines and online content providers, announced earlier today that Groupe Moniteur, a leading French service and information provider for the construction and local authorities sectors, has licensed Nstein's full digital publishing suite including Digital Asset Management (DAM), Web Content Management (WCM) and Text Mining Engine (TME) to enhance its digital platform for managing and assembling its vast collection of assets.

Established in 1903, Groupe Moniteur, a $200 million company with more than 1100 employees, owns more than 30 publications including Le Moniteur and La Gazette des communes, 700 books, 5 specialized databases and offers tradeshow and conference management. Groupe Moniteur began the process of streamlining its content management with the installation of an early version of Nstein's DAM in 2005. Pleased with those results, the company committed to creating a powerful media hub from which all assets will be catalogued, associated, published or syndicated. The addition of WCM completes the digital content supply chain, allowing the firm to create new sites quickly. A critical component of the digital hub is TME, which allows content to be tagged and indexed automatically. This rich metadata provides the added benefit of proposing associated content to readers to enhance their experience.

"Groupe Moniteur initially deployed Nstein on a small scale to rapidly deploy a new site, http://www.operationsimmobilieres.com/ and to relaunch http://www.courriersdesmaires.com/. We had each site up in only 8 weeks," said Pierrick Guinguene, Chief Technology Officer of Groupe Moniteur. "For Courrierdesmairs.com we saw strong increase in monthly visitors, with page views increasing from 8,000 to 50,000. The monetization strategy centers on offering a one-to-one relationship between readers and content. TME embedded with DAM and WCM allows us to create this relationship."

Groupe Moniteur plans to have its two flagship sites http://www.moniteur.fr/ and http://www.gazettedescommunes.fr/ ported over to Nstein's suite in Fall of 2008. Much of the content (text, images and video) already resides in Nstein's DAM and will then be distributed by Nstein's web 2.0-enabled WCM. This will allow readers to generate content helping Groupe Moniteur create dynamic communities wthin each site.

"Nstein is very proud to continue its longstanding relationship with Group Moniteur," said Luc Filiatreault, President and CEO of Nstein Technologies. "Group Moniteur has developed a series of publications that are critical to the construction and authority sectors. We are happy to be able to help Group Moniteur build out a powerful hub and infrastructure to support their business endeavors."

About Groupe Moniteur

A leading French service and information provider for the construction and local authorities sectors, Groupe Moniteur focuses on three activities:

- Publishing, with more than 30 publications including two bi-monthly reference magazines, (Le Moniteur des Travaux Publics and la Gazette des communes), monthly specialty magazines and newsletters; - Specialized Services which includes developing more than 200 reference books, training materials, tradeshow management and conferences; - Analytical Services which provides market information, materials, prices, employment, products and industry regulations. http://www.groupemoniteur.fr/ About Nstein Technologies Inc.

- The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release. - The financial value of the contract, on an individual basis, is not financially material to the affairs of Nstein Technologies Inc. The specific financial terms of the contracts can not be disclosed since knowledge of these transaction terms could represent a significant loss of competitive advantage to the Company as competitors would gain access to its pricing model. The Company believes that the disclosure of agreements by means of a press release is necessary to demonstrate the ability of the Company's technology to meet the requirements of its potential clients in the publishing, media and entertainment industries. Further, the completion of these types of agreements demonstrates the ongoing ability of the Company to capture an increasing share of this market and generate market acceptance for its products. The software license revenues resulting from this contract will be included in the Company's first quarter results (quarter ended March 31, 2008). - Any statement that appears prospective shall not be interpreted as such.
