    Tundra Semiconductor Reports Q1 FY09 Financial ResultsTundra Reports Revenue and Earnings at High End of Guidance

    OTTAWA, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (Tundra, or "the Company") (TSX:TUN), a leader in System Interconnect, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, which ended August 3, 2008.

    Q1-2009 RESULTS: - Q1 Revenue: $18.0 million - Q1 Pro forma earnings: $1.2 million - Q1 Pro forma diluted earnings per share: $0.06 - Q1 GAAP Results: earnings of $0.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share - Q1 Product Revenue: up 4% over previous quarter

    Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $18.0 million, comprised of $8.9 million in the Communications market segment, $6.8 million in the Computing/Storage market segment, and $2.3 million in Design Services. Quarterly revenue represents a 1% increase from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and a 10% decrease compared to the first quarter in fiscal year 2008. Pro forma earnings for the quarter were $1.2 million or $0.06 per share, compared to earnings of $1.5 million or $0.07 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and compared to $1.9 million or $0.10 per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. GAAP earnings for the quarter were $0.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $3.9 million or $0.20 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and a loss of $1.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter fiscal year 2008.

    "We are pleased with the financial results of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Revenue and pro forma earnings were at the high end of the guidance we provided at the close of the fourth quarter, and we also achieved more than 4% growth in product revenue as projected. Our cash position remains strong at more than $58 million and our cash generated from operations was once again positive," said Daniel Hoste, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tundra Semiconductor. "In the first quarter we adapted our growth strategy to focus on maintaining our leadership position in RapidIO and on addressing new, broader, larger markets by expanding our PCI Express portfolio. We are excited about this strategy, setting up Tundra for steady growth from both product lines, while we continue to carefully manage our financial performance," continued Hoste.

    Management offers the following outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009:

    - Q2 Revenue is expected to be in the range of $16.5 million to $18.5 million - Q2 Pro forma diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.03 to $0.07

    "Our outlook for the second quarter is expected to be consistent with first quarter guidance, with a continued focus on delivering solid cash performance," said David Long, Chief Financial Officer, Tundra Semiconductor.

    Q1-2009 Highlights - Tundra announced that it has been selected by ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, to supply Tundra's high performance PCI Express(R) (PCIe) product for ZTE's Next Generation Platform System Graphics Card. ZTE selected Tundra's high performance semiconductor to improve overall performance on its new Graphics Card. Tundra's PCIe interconnect solution has typical power consumption of 1.3W, and incorporates power management to minimize power consumption during operation. In addition, Tundra's PCIe product offers the flexibility, high performance, small footprint, low power consumption and drop-in compatibility that ZTE required for its new design. - In the quarter Tundra introduced an evaluation platform centered on its Tsi620(TM) multi-standard RapidIO(R) Switch. In addition to the Tundra Tsi620, the multi-platform evaluation platform works in conjunction with Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320TCI6487 high performance multi-core DSP and an Altera(R) Stratix(R) III FPGA to enable prototyping and, ultimately, cost reduction in applications such as high performance wireless and video processing, medical imaging and military signal- processing solutions. The platform will allow customers to use the RapidIO protocol for DSP or processor aggregation, while leveraging the Tsi620's hardware bridging to low cost PCI-enabled processors. The platform offers communication with a variety of cost competitive PCI-enabled microprocessors through a PMC connector, providing additional cost saving opportunities. TI's 3GHz embedded DSP delivers exceptional performance in computationally challenging applications. On the evaluation platform, the Tsi620 interfaces with Altera's Stratix III FPGA to leverage RapidIO over XGMII. This results in low latency while leveraging the RapidIO protocol and allows customers to access RapidIO processor clusters from an FPGA without SerDes. The complete solution allows customers to reduce their time-to-market, and the bill-of-materials (BOM) in end applications by over $100 compared to other solutions.

    Finally, it is with deep regret that we announced in July that Mike Unger, a long-standing member of the Tundra Board of Directors, passed away after a short illness. Mike served on Tundra's Board of Directors since 2001, after a long and successful career at Nortel Networks, his last role there being President of the Optical Networks Division. As a Director of Tundra's business, and as Chair of the Board's Human Resources, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Mike demonstrated grace, balance, wisdom and good judgment in all that he did, and always had the best interests of Tundra's Shareholders and Employees in mind. Mike's positive attitude and good nature will be sorely missed.

    Marvell Technology Reports Fiscal Second Quarter Results- F2Q09 Revenue: $843 Million, up 28% Year-on-Year- F2Q09 Net Income: $71 Million (GAAP), $154 Million (non-GAAP)- F2Q09 EPS: $0.11 (GAAP), $0.24 (non-GAAP)- F2Q09 Free Cash Flow: $167 Million

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marvell Technology Group Ltd. , a leader in storage, communications and consumer silicon solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, ended August 2, 2008.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070411/SFW034LOGO)

    Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $842.6 million, an increase of 28 percent over $656.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, ended July 28, 2007, and a 4.8 percent sequential increase from $804 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, ended May 3, 2008.

    "The results for our second quarter were better than we had anticipated. We demonstrated significant year over year revenue growth, sustained profitability and excellent free cash flow generation," said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also continued to realize recurring benefits from our improved efficiency which combined with our revenue performance enabled us to achieve increased sequential growth in gross and operating margins."

    Marvell reports net income (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis as outlined below. Reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP net income for the three and six months ended August 2, 2008 and July 28, 2007 appear in the financial statements below. Non-GAAP net income, where applicable, excludes the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization and write-offs of acquired intangible assets and restructuring costs.

    GAAP net income was $71.4 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with a GAAP net loss of $56.5 million, or a loss of $0.10 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009 GAAP net income was $69.9 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted).

    Non-GAAP net income increased to $154 million, or $0.24 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a 288 percent increase compared with non-GAAP net income of $39.7 million, or $0.06 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and an increase of 2 percent from non-GAAP net income of $150.4 million, or $0.24 per share (diluted) for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Results for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 included one time benefits of $14.5 million, or approximately $0.02 per share.

    Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was 52.3 percent, compared to non-GAAP gross margin of 52.0 percent for the first

    quarter of fiscal 2009 and non-GAAP gross margin of 49.4 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

    Shares used to compute GAAP net income per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were 638 million shares (diluted), compared with 588 million shares in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 624 million shares (diluted) in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Shares used to compute non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were 640 million shares compared with 630 million shares for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 624 million shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

    Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $183 million, up 40% sequentially from the $130 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Free cash, defined as cash flow from operations, less investments in property, plant and equipment, was $167 million, up 67% sequentially from the $100 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

    Conference Call

    Marvell will be conducting a conference call on August 28, 2008 at 1:45 p.m. PDT to discuss its second quarter of fiscal 2009 financial performance. The call is being webcast by Thomson/CCBN and can be accessed at Marvell's web site at http://www.marvell.com/. The conference call will also be available via the web at http://www.marvell.com/. Please visit Marvell's website, under the Investor Events section of the Investor Relations page. Replay on the Internet will be available until September 4, 2009.

    Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Non-GAAP net income consists of net income excluding stock-based compensation expense as well as charges related to acquisitions and other charges and gains that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core operating performance. Non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP earnings per share, the GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude the potential benefits of compensation costs expected to be incurred in future periods, but not yet recognized in the financial statements. The expected compensation costs are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method and also include the dilutive/antidilutive effects of warrants, common stock options and restricted stock.

    Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial measures. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. For further information regarding why Marvell believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to Marvell's Current Report on Form 8- K filed today with the SEC. The Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/ as well as on the Marvell website in the Investor Relations section at http://www.marvell.com/.

    SGI Achieves 25 Percent Bookings Growth Year-Over-YearSGI Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2008 Results

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SGI today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008 ended June 27, 2008. The Company achieved its stated objectives for the fiscal year of strong growth in bookings, a strengthened leadership team, an array of new products and services, and penetration into new customer accounts.

    Fiscal Year 2008 Highlights In fiscal 2008, SGI: * Grew bookings 25 percent year-over-year to $356 million through a mix of high performance compute, storage and visualization solutions and services. * Saw backlog more than double year-over-year, putting the Company in a stronger position heading into fiscal 2009 with beginning backlog of $147 million compared to $66 million at the end of the prior year. * Strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of key executives including Barb Stinnett to lead the global services organization; Irene Qualters to head the software and storage organization; Douglas Britt to direct worldwide sales; Bob Pette to form a new group focused on leveraging the Company's extensive intellectual property to deliver visualization solutions; and Shahin Khan to drive marketing. * Launched and shipped new products and services including: SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE, an ultra-dense blade platform that began shipping in volume in the first quarter of the fiscal year; SGI(R) Virtu VN200 to power the performance visualization needs of HPC and business users; SGI(R) InfiniteStorage 4600, a new flagship RAID product; the SGI(R) InfiniteStorage NEXIS NAS family of high-performance storage systems; Solutions Support Plus, a new multi-vendor support service; and new cluster nodes and processors aimed at increasing the performance of SGI(R) Altix(R) XE clusters and SGI Altix systems. * Accelerated its Industrial Strength Linux(R) Environment software strategy by acquiring key IP assets formerly owned by Linux Networx. * Delivered and gained acceptance on several significant orders including: a major online trading community, multiple Hollywood and international film and television production companies, the National Basketball Association, Chrysler, Honda Racing, Sikorsky Aircraft, Total Exploration and Production, GENCI (Grand Equipement National de Calcul Intensif), North German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN), New Mexico Computing Applications Center, NASA, Merck, and Sanofi-Aventis.

    "We're very encouraged by the progress we've made over the past fiscal year," said SGI CEO Robert "Bo" Ewald. "We've achieved significant bookings and backlog growth which positions us well as we enter fiscal 2009 to execute on the second year of our three-year plan to achieve a profitable operating structure. With our new products and services, we've seen acceptance of our solutions across all targeted technical and commercial environments."

    Fiscal 2008 and Fourth Quarter GAAP Results

    Revenue for the fourth quarter was $93.9 million, compared to $79.1 million in the third quarter and $122.3 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year, representing an increase of 19 percent and a decline of 23 percent, respectively. Revenue for fiscal 2008 was $354.1 million, a decline of 24 percent from the prior fiscal year.

    The fiscal 2008 operating loss was $127.2 million, compared to a loss of $101.2 million for the prior fiscal year. The fourth quarter operating loss was $28.6 million, compared to $40.6 million in the third quarter and $24.8 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Operating expenses for fiscal 2008 were $230.7 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 2 percent year-over-year. Operating expenses were $58.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $59.2 million for the third quarter and $56.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

    For purposes of comparison, fiscal year 2007 figures comprise three months of results, ended September 29, 2006, for the Company existing before the Company's reorganization and emergence, and 9 months of results, ended June 29, 2007, for the Company existing after the reorganization.

    Pro Forma Results

    Pro forma results comprise non-GAAP financial measures that facilitate comparison of the Company's results of operations in previous fiscal years. Pro forma revenue was $121.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $80.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Pro forma revenue excludes the impact of fresh start accounting and the deferral of the Company's recognition of revenues for certain of the Company's transactions where software is more than incidental to the overall solution. Pro forma gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, which is adjusted for similar items and also for amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, was 37 percent, compared with 27 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Pro forma operating expenses, which exclude restructuring, stock- based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, the non-cash impact of Linux Networx asset acquisition, and the impact of fresh start accounting, were $53.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and $52.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring (EBITDAR) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was a loss of $3.0 million, compared with a loss of $25.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

    "We are pleased with bookings performance year-over-year as a leading indicator of the market's acceptance of our solutions," said Kathy Lanterman, SGI's Chief Financial Officer. "Our fiscal 2008 financial goals were to generate double-digit bookings growth, stabilize revenue and manage cash and expenses. We largely achieved these goals, particularly through the growth in our core products bookings, although the timing of customer acceptances did impact revenue for the year."

    Ewald added that new server, storage and visualization products helped drive bookings growth by giving SGI the winning edge in several competitive sales situations, including a contract to supply NASA with its next major supercomputer. "These new products have allowed us to capture some of the world's most coveted HPC wins, while placing us in new accounts like a major online trading community," said Ewald. "Developments like these give us great confidence about the validity of our strategy and direction."

    In this press release, SGI uses certain financial measures, including the "pro forma" financial measures, bookings and backlog that are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Bookings, also referred to as orders, reflect authorized orders for SGI products and professional services accepted in the period that are expected to ship in the next twelve months. Backlog is the cumulative bookings for which the Company has not yet recognized revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, bookings and backlog, are useful to investors because they facilitate period to period comparisons of SGI performance and because they help investors view the Company's results of operations through the eyes of management and the Company's lenders. SGI credit line covenants, management reporting and incentive plans are measured against certain of these non-GAAP financial measures.

    A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the Company's GAAP results of operations, including an illustration of the impact of the Company's fresh start accounting and the impact of the implementation of Statement of Accounting Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2) is attached to this press release and is also available at http://www.sgi.com/company_info/investors.

    Anthony Grillo Named Chairman of SGI Board of Directors

    As it embarks on the second phase of its growth strategy, SGI also announced today that Anthony Grillo has been named the Chairman of its Board of Directors. Grillo has served on the SGI Board of Directors since October of 2006.

    "I look forward to continuing to work closely with management and my fellow Board members," said Grillo, who is founder and CEO of American Securities Advisors, LLC.

    The company also announced that Kevin Katari and Chun Won Yi have resigned from its Board of Directors. Both have been members of the Board since October of 2006, with Katari serving as Chairman since joining the Board.

    "I am pleased to have worked with the Company during this transition, and I have confidence in Bo and Tony in leading SGI forward," said Katari.

    Yi added, "I have enjoyed being on the Board and assisting SGI since its successful reorganization, and the Company continues to have my full support."

This table includes a reconciliation of each listed component to the comparable GAAP figures. (2) The non-GAAP adjustments for SOP 97-2 are indicative of the revenue results the company would have recorded without the effect of SOP 97-2, although these are unaudited adjustments. We believe that this presentation more closely matches the results that would have been recorded had SAB 104 been applied, in which case the revenue for the hardware components of the arrangement would have been recorded when those deliverables were completed, and the primary remaining deliverable is customer support. Generally, this presentation matches the timing of billings to customers for the hardware deliverables, and therefore allows more transparency to cashflows.

    Novell Reports Financial Results for Third Fiscal Quarter 2008- Raises non-GAAP operating margin guidance for fiscal year 2008- Continued product revenue growth year-over-year

    WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novell, Inc. today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008. For the quarter, Novell reported net revenue of $245 million. This compares to net revenue of $237 million for the third fiscal quarter 2007. Income from operations for the third fiscal quarter 2008 was $1 million, compared to a loss from operations of $10 million for the third fiscal quarter 2007. Loss from continuing operations in the third fiscal quarter 2008 was $15 million, or $0.04 loss per share, due to a $15 million impairment charge related to our auction-rate securities. This compares to a loss from continuing operations of $4 million, or $0.01 loss per share, for the third fiscal quarter 2007. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenue by $7 million, unfavorably impacted operating expenses by $7 million and did not materially impact income from operations year-over-year. On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations for the third fiscal quarter 2008 was $24 million. This compares to non-GAAP income from operations of $14 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the third fiscal quarter 2008 was $21 million, or $0.06 per share. This compares to non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $19 million, or $0.05 per share, for the third fiscal quarter 2007.

    For the third fiscal quarter 2008, Novell reported $33 million of product revenue from Open Platform Solutions of which $31 million was from Linux Platform Products, up 30% year-over-year. Product revenue from Identity and Security Management was $37 million of which Identity and Access Management was $34 million, up 22% year-over-year. Product revenue from Systems and Resource Management was $47 million, up 25% year-over-year. Workgroup product revenue of $92 million was down 1% year-over-year.

    "We had another quarter of strong product revenue growth and expanding operating margins," said Ron Hovsepian, President and CEO of Novell. "Our transformation of the company positions us well to focus on sustained growth in 2009."

    Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1.4 billion at July 31, 2008, down from $1.8 billion in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of PlateSpin, the repurchase of a portion of our debentures and our stock repurchase program. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 78 days at the end of the third fiscal quarter 2008, up from 74 days at the end of the year-ago quarter. Total deferred revenue was $726 million at the end of the third fiscal quarter 2008, down from $734 million at the end of the year-ago quarter. Cash flow from operations was $30 million for the third fiscal quarter 2008. This compares to cash flow from operations of $25 million in the third fiscal quarter 2007.

    With regard to the Company's previously announced share repurchase program, Novell repurchased 7 million shares of common stock at a cost of $45 million during the quarter. To date, the Company has repurchased 10 million shares at a cost of $58 million. The Company has $42 million remaining under the existing share repurchase program.

    During the quarter, Novell used $27 million of cash to repurchase a portion of its outstanding 0.5% senior convertible debentures. To date, $142 million of cash has been used for these repurchases.

    Full details on Novell's reported results, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP results, are included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release.

    Financial Outlook Novell management issues the following financial guidance: For the full fiscal year 2008: -- Net revenue is expected to be between $940 million and $970 million. -- Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be between 8% and 10%, exceeding previously stated guidance of between 7% to 9%.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We supplement our consolidated unaudited condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted income from operations, operating margin, income from continuing operations, net income, income per share from continuing operations and net income per share. We provide non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future and to enable investors to evaluate our performance in the same way that management does. Management uses these same non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, allocate resources, and determine bonuses. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results, but they eliminate expenses and gains that are unusual, that are excluded from analysts' consensus estimates, and/or that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, such as, but not limited to, those related to stock-based compensation, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, restructuring, asset impairments, litigation judgments and settlements, purchased in-process research and development, and the sale of business operations, long-term investments, and property, plant and equipment.

    Federal Judge Finds Qualcomm in Contempt of Injunction on 3G Cellular and Push-to-Talk Products Previously Found to Infringe Broadcom Patents

    IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation , a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, announced that a federal judge today found Qualcomm Incorporated in contempt of an injunction he ordered last December designed to prevent Qualcomm from continued infringement of three Broadcom(R) patents.

    U.S. District Judge James V. Selna found that Qualcomm violated the injunction by continuing to use and support infringing WCDMA chips and ordered Qualcomm to immediately cease such use and support. The court further found that Qualcomm violated the injunction by failing to pay royalties to Broadcom on its infringing QChat(R) products. Citing the "egregiousness" of Qualcomm's conduct, the court ordered Qualcomm to pay Broadcom the gross profits Qualcomm has earned on its infringing QChat(R) products. Judge Selna further ordered Qualcomm to pay Broadcom's attorneys fees in connection with the contempt proceedings.

    Additionally, the Court reserved determination of whether Qualcomm should also be held in contempt for post-injunction offers to sell infringing WCDMA chips pending additional discovery and proceedings.

    "Over the past two years, Qualcomm has been found to have infringed four Broadcom patents, abused the standards-setting process, and committed gross discovery misconduct, and now has been held in contempt of a court-ordered injunction," said David Rosmann, Broadcom's Vice President, Intellectual Property Litigation. "Qualcomm's conduct demonstrates a startling lack of respect for its competitors' intellectual property, industry standards-setting processes, and the courts."

    Broadcom filed the case in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, Calif., in May 2005. On May 29, 2007, a unanimous jury returned a verdict finding that Qualcomm infringed three Broadcom patents and awarded $19.64 million in damages for past infringement.

    BOSTON, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tiger Woods, one of today's greatest athletes, joined two of his partners -- and two of the world's best known brands -- Gillette [PG], the world's leading grooming brand, and EA SPORTS(TM), the world's leading sports interactive entertainment brand and a Label of Electronic Arts Inc. , on Wednesday to announce a global partnership that will create a variety of co-promotional marketing opportunities focused on similar male consumers. This will include joint online marketing efforts in more than 20 markets in North America, Latin America, Western Europe and Asia that will leverage the Xbox 360(R) LIVE and EA SPORTS in-game environments. Joining Tiger Woods for the announcement in New York City were Peter Clay, Vice President, Gillette Grooming, and Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS.

    (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080828/NYTH076 )

    "Gillette and EA SPORTS represent the best in grooming and gaming, and this partnership is a natural extension of our ongoing efforts to engage guys through their competitive nature and their passions, including sports," said Peter Clay. "We'll be working together to reach consumers with unique programs such as the Gillette -- EA SPORTS Champions of Gaming, a global tournament that will offer gamers the opportunity to compete against the best in the world and then take on the Gillette Champions and other sports legends to see if they have what it takes to be the best."

    Gillette and EA SPORTS are leaders in industries favored by male consumers that have witnessed considerable growth in recent years. Both companies share the same strategic target -- guys 18-34 years old -- as well as a rich history of technological innovation, competition and connecting with guys through their passion for sports.

    The Gillette -- EA SPORTS Champions of Gaming -- the world's largest multi-sport gaming tournament -- will officially launch in late October and provide gamers the opportunity to compete against others from around the world for the chance to be named a Global Champion of Gaming. The live global finals will be conducted in Tampa, Florida, in January 2009, with the Global Champions in each gaming category competing against one of the Gillette Champions -- Gillette's group of global sports superstars that includes Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Derek Jeter. Gamers will be able to play via Xbox 360 LIVE on Tiger Woods PGA TOUR(R) 09, NASCAR(R) 09, Madden NFL 09, NBA LIVE 09 and EA SPORTS(TM) FIFA Soccer 09. More information about the Gillette -- EA SPORTS Champions of Gaming will be available after October 15, 2008, at http://www.gillette.com/.

    "I'm proud of my association with both Gillette and EA SPORTS because they represent what it means to be at the top of your game," said Gillette Champion Tiger Woods. "This program will give guys the chance to play games at the highest level possible, which is always exciting. To be the best at anything is an amazing feat."

Ces dispositifs présentent une surface de seulement 27 mm(2) et 29 mm(2) respectivement, pour moins de 0,6 mm de hauteur. Avec une plage de tension d'entrée de service allant de 2,7 V à 5,5 V, les deux régulateurs sont adaptés à des applications alimentées par une seule batterie Li-Ion ou une source 5 VDC telle qu'un port USB. La précision de sortie est impressionnante : +/- 2,5 % sur une gamme de température de jonction de -40 C à +125 C.

    SiRF Hosts 2nd Annual Location 2.0 SummitIndustry Leaders Gather to Make Location Fundamental to Everything Mobile

    SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building on the success of last year's inaugural event, SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. , a leading provider of GPS-powered location platforms, today announced the second annual Location 2.0 Summit as well as the ten finalists chosen to give Fast-Pitch presentations at the event. More than 200 of the top global location industry executives are expected to gather at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco on September 10, 2008 for this invitation-only event, which this year also introduces the People's Choice Awards to highlight innovation in the LBS industry.

    This year's event will feature keynote addresses from Christof Hellmis, director of Navigation and Routing Solutions at Nokia and Dr. Vincent Tao, senior director of the Microsoft Local, Mobile Search and Virtual Earth business unit at Microsoft. Other featured speakers include Joe Astroth, vice president of Location Services; Randy Frantz, director of Telecommunications and LBS at ESRI; Steve Glagow, vice president of Market Operations at Orange-France Telecom; Niren Hiro, vice president of business for Admob; Masaaki Maeda, senior vice president of the Service and Technology Division at NTT DoCoMo; Rich Miner, vice president of Mobile Technology for Google; Magnus Nilsson, CEO of Wayfinder Systems; Jerry Panagrossi, vice president and general manager of North America for Symbian, Inc.; Ed Schmit, associate director of the Enterprise Developer Program at AT&T; Brad Smith, technology editor at Wireless Week and Eric White, general manager of Handheld Solutions at Trimble Mobile Solutions.

    "The Location 2.0 Summit has quickly become a popular event for global industry leaders, and based on the success of last year's event, we anticipate another standing-room-only crowd again this year," said Kanwar Chadha, founder and vice president of marketing for SiRF. "In keeping with spirit of this event, attendees will be able to use their wireless handsets to vote for their favorite Fast-Pitch presentations, and the winner in each Fast-Pitch category will receive a People's Choice Award during the evening award ceremony."

    The Location 2.0 Summit attracts attendees from across the entire location industry ecosystem -- operators and service providers, device manufacturers and enabling platform providers as well as content and application developers -- to explore the future direction of technologies for making location fundamental to everything mobile. Attendees will hear and discuss success stories and proven strategies as well as critical challenges for the location industry in the mobile and wireless space.

    Fast-Pitch Finalists

    This year's event introduces unique three-minute Fast-Pitch presentations -- high-intensity sessions that demonstrate the benefits of using the power of location to enhance the daily lives of individuals, enterprises and communities. Developers will pitch their innovative LBS applications to the top global location industry executives in attendance at the conclusion of each of the panel discussions.

    The Fast-Pitch nominees that were submitted were judged by Kanwar Chadha and wireless industry analyst, Andrew Seybold; finalists have been chosen for each of the three panel discussion sessions.

    For the consumer Fast-Pitch category, the finalists are Dial Directions for its product DIR-ECT-IONS; Locr for its product locr.com; and Loopt for its product Loopt.

    For the enterprise Fast-Pitch category, the finalists are LuckyCal, Inc. for its product LuckyCal with Predictive Presence Technology, Pacific DataVision for its product Locator for SkyMailTM, and Proxpro, Inc. for its product Prompt.

    The Fast-Pitch presentations will be an integral part of the three panel discussions:

    -- Consumer Panel: Location and the Wireless Ecosystem -- Enterprise Panel: Using Location to Beat the Economy -- Future Technologies: One World, One Network for LBS?

    Unlike typical conference-style panel discussions, these interactive sessions will delve deeply into the topics being covered and allow attendees to take part. Held in question-and-answer format to promote audience participation, the panels will conclude with unique three-minute presentations from the finalists of the Fast-Pitch competition, which will feature the most innovative new LBS application and technologies in beta or on the market today. Participants will be able to utilize SMS-based voting to select their favorites from each group of Fast Pitches, and the winner of each Fast-Pitch category will receive People's Choice Awards.

    Awards

    The afternoon will conclude with closing remarks and the Location 2.0 Summit Awards, an extraordinary opportunity to promote excellence and celebrate achievement in the industry. In addition to the Leadership Award and Pioneer Award presented to honor and recognize outstanding members of the location ecosystem, this year's event also features the new People's Choice Awards presented to the most popular Fast-Pitch presentations. The cocktail reception accompanying the Awards will provide an opportunity for attendees to make new acquaintances, interact with other executives and leaders within the location industry and build strategic partnerships.

    Agenda

    The Summit will commence at 11:00 a.m. with a luncheon in the St. Regis Ballroom hosted by Andrew Seybold, a renowned expert on the convergence of wireless, mobility and the Internet. During his noontime opening remarks, Mr. Seybold will be sharing his insights on the most effective location-based services strategies that he has championed from the very early days of the industry.

    Gameloft - Current Operating Income up 18% and Operating Margin of 5.5% for the First Half of 2008

    PARIS, August 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 2008 Half-Year Results

    Gameloft's financial statements for the first half-year ending June 30, 2008 break down as follows:

    In EUR million H1 2008 H1 2007 Sales 50.3 45.9 Other Income 0.2 0.2 Cost of goods sold -4.1 -3.8 R&D -26.6 -25.1 Sales & Marketing -13.8 -10.5 Administration -4.5 -3.7 Other income and expenses 1.3 -0.7 Current operating income* 2.8 2.3 Stock-based compensation -1.3 -1.5 Other operational revenues and expenses -0.1 0.0 Operating income 1.4 0.8 Financial result -1.3 -0.1 Tax expenses -0.9 -0.6 Group Share of Net Income -0.8 0.0 *before stock-based compensation

    Gameloft achieved consolidated revenues of EUR50.3 million for the first half of 2008, up by 17% from the previous year on a comparable exchange rate basis. Mobile games accounted for 94% of first-half revenues and the remaining 6% are related to Gameloft's console game business (Nintendo DS, Xbox Live Arcade and Nintendo WiiWare).

    The current operating income for first-half 2008 is in line with expectations, up 18% with H1 2007. The operating margin stands at 5.5%, compared to 5.1% in the first half of 2007. This improvement in the margin, despite a 29% increase in the average headcount over the period, highlights the leverage that exists with the growth in revenues. The operational margin should therefore continue to improve over the second half of the year and the company is confident in renewing its goal for operating profitability over the full financial year 2008.

    The half-year impact from expensing stock options is EUR1.3 million. This charge will have no impact on the company's equity and cash level.

    Interest income amounted to EUR(1.3) million and is mainly comprised of exchange rate losses, due to the sharp rise in the Euro from January to June 2008. Net half-year profit stands therefore at EUR(0.8) million but is expected to improve substantially over the full-year 2008 thanks to the anticipated operating margin increase.

    Healthy Financial Position

    Gameloft's financial position has been very solid since June 30, 2008. The company's equity stood at EUR47.3 million, net cash was EUR12.7 million and financial indebtedness remained at zero. The operating cash flow reached EUR0.3 million in the first half of the year. The company therefore has the financial resources necessary for its international growth strategy.

    Outlook 2008

    Gameloft continues to reap the fruit of its investments in its creative and distribution abilities. These investments have allowed the company to grow faster than most of its major competitors and reach a leading worldwide position in the industry. These strategic investments pave the way for the future growth of the company, especially in the "rich games" segment that was launched in 2008 on high-end phones (iPhone, N-Gage, Instinct, etc.) and on downloading consoles (Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3) which is expected to fuel growth in the second half of 2008 and in following years.

    Gameloft currently benefits from:

    - the industry's largest development capacity, well beyond that of its competitors with over 3,300 developers in its studios. This allows Gameloft to release around 80 new games each year. Its catalogue comprises over 250 games covering 1,200 models of cell phones;

    - a unique know-how demonstrated by its ability to diversify on platforms such as iPod, iPhone, Nintendo DS and WiiWare and with games that innovate as well as cater to a mass market audience. Gameloft is currently positioned as one of the major suppliers of games for the Apple iPhone and the Nokia N-Gage. It managed to place between one to four games in the top ten best selling iPhone games in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan since the launch of the AppStore in July 08;

    - strong licenses with many of its own brands that are amongst the bestselling mobile games worldwide (Asphalt: Urban GT, Brain Challenge, Midnight Pool, TV Show King, etc.) and new partnerships with world-renowned brands (Ferrari, NBA, Oregon Trail, The Mummy, etc.);

    - the world's most complete distribution network with over 180 operators and over 150 affiliates that distribute our games in more than 80 countries throughout the world.

    Gameloft is therefore renewing its growth and profitability targets for 2008. In the long term, the company is in an ideal situation to occupy the top position in the industry with its successful investments in a market that is predicted to reach nearly 4 billion potential consumers in 2010[1]. The company expects to continue its steadfast growth and impact

    Sales for the third quarter of 2008 will be published on Monday, November 3, 2008.

    Le groupe GfK affiche une croissance dynamique au deuxième trimestre

    NUREMBERG, Allemagne, August 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Le groupe GfK vient d'enregistrer un excellent deuxième trimestre 2008. En effet, le groupe a connu une forte croissance interne de 11,4 % de son chiffre d'affaires et a vu son bénéfice d'exploitation ajusté atteindre 43,8 millions d'euros, soit une hausse de 13,4 % par rapport au deuxième trimestre de 2007. Avec un résultat de 13,6 %, la marge, qui représente le rapport entre le bénéfice d'exploitation ajusté et le chiffre d'affaires, s'est quant à elle maintenue à un niveau plus élevé que celui qui avait été atteint à pareille date l'an dernier (13,2 %).

    Pour les six premiers mois de l'exercice actuel, la croissance interne du chiffre d'affaires a atteint 8,4 %. Ainsi, le groupe GfK a enregistré son taux de croissance interne le plus élevé depuis son premier appel public à l'épargne en 1999. Les trois secteurs ont d'ailleurs contribué à ce résultat. Les effets négatifs du taux de change ont toutefois contribué à réduire de 4,5 % la croissance du chiffre d'affaires. Le chiffre d'affaires déclaré après les effets de la devise et les acquisitions a pour sa part augmenté de 6,5 % à 589,7 millions d'euros. Quant au bénéfice d'exploitation ajusté, il est passé de 63,5 millions d'euros au premier semestre de 2007 à 66,8 millions d'euros en 2008. À 11,3 %, la marge a presque atteint le même niveau que celui de l'an dernier (11,5 %).

    Le rendement du secteur de la vente au détail et de la technologie a été particulièrement satisfaisant, ce dernier ayant de nouveau augmenté sa marge déjà considérable au cours du deuxième trimestre de 2008. Malgré les effets défavorables liés au taux de change, le secteur des médias a réussi à afficher une forte croissance de presque 10 %. À l'échelle régionale, GfK a enregistré une très forte croissance interne en Europe centrale et de l'Est, en Asie et dans le Pacifique, et en Amérique latine.

    Dans l'ensemble, le carnet de commandes du groupe GfK est bien rempli. À la fin juillet, il couvrait déjà 80,3 % des ventes annuelles escomptées du groupe. Ce résultat est même supérieur à celui qui avait été atteint à pareille date l'année dernière (79,4 %).

    Gameloft - Résultat opérationnel courant en hausse de 18% et marge opérationnelle de 5,5% lors du premier semestre 2008.

    PARIS, August 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Résultats semestriels 2008

    Les comptes de Gameloft pour le premier semestre de l'exercice se clôturant au 30 juin 2008 s'établissent comme suit :

    En MEuros S1 2008 S1 2007 Chiffre d'affaires 50,3 45,9 Autres produits 0,2 0,2 Coûts des ventes -4,1 -3,8 R&D -26,6 -25,1 Ventes & Marketing -13,8 -10,5 Administration -4,5 -3,7 Autres produits & charges 1,3 -0,7 Résultat opérationnel courant* 2,8 2,3 -1,3 -1,5 Eléments de rémunération payés en actions -0,1 0,0 Autres produits et charges opérationnelles Résultat opérationnel 1,4 0,8 Résultat financier -1,3 -0,1 Charge d'impôt -0,9 -0,6 Résultat net part du Groupe -0,8 0,0

    * avant comptabilisation des éléments de rémunération payés en actions

    Le chiffre d'affaires consolidé du premier semestre 2008 est en hausse de 17% à taux de change constant et s'établit à 50,3 mEUR. L'activité jeux mobiles et l'activité jeux consoles (Nintendo DS, Xbox Live Arcade, Nintendo WiiWare) ont représenté respectivement 94% et 6% du chiffre d'affaires total du premier semestre 2008.

    Le résultat opérationnel courant des six premiers mois de l'exercice 2008 est en ligne avec les objectifs et a augmenté de 18% par rapport au premier semestre 2007. La marge opérationnelle s'établit ainsi à 5,5% comparé à 5,1% lors du premier semestre 2007. Cette amélioration de la marge, malgré une augmentation de 29% des effectifs moyens sur la période, met en lumière l'effet de levier qui existe sur la croissance des ventes de Gameloft. La marge opérationnelle devrait donc continuer à s'améliorer sur le second semestre et la société est en mesure de renouveler son objectif de rentabilité sur l'ensemble de l'exercice 2008.

    La charge semestrielle liée aux options d'achat octroyées aux salariés est de 1,3MEUR. Cette charge n'a pas d'incidence sur les fonds propres et la situation cash de la société.

    Le résultat financier est de -1,3MEUR et se compose pour l'essentiel de pertes de change liées à la forte hausse de l'Euro de janvier à juin 2008. Le résultat net semestriel s'établit donc à -0,8MEUR mais devrait s'améliorer sur l'ensemble de l'exercice 2008 grâce à la progression attendue de la marge opérationnelle.

    Situation Financière saine

    La situation financière de Gameloft est très solide au 30 juin 2008. Les fonds propres de la société atteignent 47,3MEUR, la trésorerie s'établit à 12,7MEUR et l'endettement financier demeure nul. Le cash flow opérationnel est positif et atteint 0,3MEUR sur le premier semestre. La société a donc à sa disposition tous les moyens financiers nécessaires à sa stratégie de croissance internationale.

    Perspectives 2008

    Gameloft continue de récolter les fruits de ses investissements dans sa capacité de création et de distribution. Ces investissements ont permis à la société de croître plus rapidement que la plupart de ses concurrents et de s'installer au premier rang mondial de son industrie. Ces investissements stratégiques préparent aussi la croissance future de la société, particulièrement dans le domaine des "Rich Games" dont le lancement en 2008 sur les téléphones haut de gamme (iPhone, N-Gage, Instinct, etc.) et les consoles de téléchargement (Wii, Xbox 360 et PS3) devrait nourrir la croissance du second semestre 2008 et des exercices à venir.

    Gameloft dispose aujourd'hui:

    - de la première capacité de développement de l'industrie très loin devant tous ses concurrents avec plus de 3300 développeurs dans ses studios de création. Ceci permet à Gameloft de commercialiser chaque année environ 80 nouveaux jeux et de disposer d'un catalogue de 250 jeux couvrant 1200 modèles de téléphones mobiles;

    - d'un savoir faire unique au monde illustré par sa capacité à se diversifier sur des plateformes telles que l'iPod, l'iPhone, la Nintendo DS, la WiiWare et d'être présent au lancement de ces plateformes avec des jeux à la fois innovants et faciles d'accès pour le grand public.

    - de licences fortes avec de nombreuses marques propres qui font partie des meilleures ventes mondiales du jeu grand public (Asphalt: Urban GT, Brain Challenge, Midnight Pool, TV Show King, etc.) et de nouveaux partenariats avec des marques mondialement reconnues (Ferrari, NBA, Oregon Trail, La Momie, etc.);

    - du réseau de distribution le plus complet au monde avec plus de 180 opérateurs et plus de 150 affiliés distribuant nos jeux dans plus de 80 pays à travers le monde.

    Le chiffre d'affaires du troisième trimestre 2008 sera publié le lundi 3 novembre 2008.

    Hi-Media Reports First Half 2008 Earnings and Confirms Development Plan- Strong Revenue Growth in an increasingly tight advertising market: +24%- Gross Margin maintained at high level of 40%- Operating profit in line with investment and development plan- Net Rebound in Profitability Expected During Second Half of 2008- Full year objectives and medium-term development plan confirmed

    PARIS, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Hi-Media Internet media group (ISIN Code FR0000075988 - HIM, HIM.PA), one of Europe's leaders in interactive advertising and electronic micro-payments, today announced results for the first six months ended June 30, 2008.

    Key consolidated financial highlights in millions of Euros H1 2007 H1 2008 2008/2007 Change (%) Turnover 49.0 60.8 24 % Gross profit 19.6 24.3 24 % Gross margin percentage 40 % 40 % Operating profit 7.0 5.0 (before stock based compensation) -29 % Net profit of consolidated companies 5.8 1.0 -83 %

    The consolidated income statement, statement of cash flows and balance sheet can be downloaded from the Company's website at http://www.hi-media.com/.

    Cyril Zimmermann, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hi-Media, said: "While profits for the first half of the year may not be in line with our expectations for the year as a whole, they validate the strategy adopted more than two years ago. Thanks to our diversified revenue streams, we continue to grow and are demonstrating our resilience in uncertain advertising markets. Our performance also reflects the quality of our business model, which allows us to finance our medium-term plans. We have created new sites, enhanced our global footprint and acquired strategic stakes, while investing in the development of our organization into an integrated Internet media group. These achievements as well as these investments should bring profitability in line from the second half of 2008 onwards".

    Results in Line With Development Plan Increase in proprietary website audience

    In two years, the audience of the Group's websites has increased almost six-fold, to 30 millions unique users, of which 16 million users are in Europe.

    Hi-Media is emphasizing audience in its three priority themes (women, entertainment, news), continuing to implement this strategy by:

    -- launching several websites: contrefeux.com, monsondage.com, dastvprogramm.de, as well as the Belgian version of actustar.com. -- taking stakes in websites with high growth potential: sport.fr, vivat.be and rue89.com -- acquiring Magicrpm.com, a French directory and online resource for online rock and independent electronic music.

    Since Hi-Media acquired the social networking site Fotolog one year ago, membership has doubled to 20 million users. Revenues have increased significantly, particularly sales of graphic advertising and paid subscriptions. Fotolog's performance demonstrates the synergies generated since its integration with the Group. With consolidated revenues from all websites at 9.6% in the first half year, Hi-Media is well set to meet its 2008 objective of increasing total revenues from all sites by 10%.

    Strong Growth Driven by Diversification of Revenue Streams

    The Group's advertising offering has been further strengthened: with 65 million unique users across the world, it is now positioned among the leaders in online advertising. Revenue from this activity has increased by 17% in a difficult business environment.

    With 32% growth in the first half, Hi-Media's micro-payment business is benefiting from technology investments of the past year and the volume of commercial wins recorded since the beginning of the year. Robust micro-payments performance is expected to generate the bulk of the increase in the Group's profit in the second half of this fiscal year.

    Gross Profit Maintained at the High Level of 40% The consolidated gross profit has been maintained at 40% thanks to: -- Gross profit of micro-payments at an average level of 25% (with significant improvement toward the end of the first half). -- improving gross profits in the advertising business to 55%, a 6-point gain year-on-year that reflects a key component of the Group's vertical integration strategy -- increasing contributions from propriety sites with 100% gross profit margins. Profit Profile Consistent With a Year of Investment

    Good commercial performance, diversified revenue streams and created synergies have resulted in an operating profit of 5 million Euros, before valuation of stock options and grants. In line with Hi-Media's strategic roadmap, operating profit takes into account increases in operating charges relating to the following:

    -- integration of Fotolog, the social networking site acquired in November 2007 which has now reached break-even; -- acquisition of Mobile Trend, a leader in the mobile internet and micro-payment by SMS in France, which was finalised in June 2008; -- new business activities (local network in France, advertising business in Spain); -- implementation of the 5 million Euro, 2008 development plan to build a proprietary audience (by launching new sites, improving existing ones) and of an electronic wallet.

    The cost of 2.2 million Euros relating to share grants and stock options is equivalent, under IFRS accounting standards, to recognizing as an expense shares allocated over the past three years under policies adopted at the 2005 Shareholders' Meeting and the Fotolog profit sharing plan which was in place at acquisition.

    The financial profit (-717,000 Euros) mainly reflects interest on bank loan to finance acquisitions completed during the half.

    Lastly, significant improvement in profits over the last fiscal years has, for the first time, generated income taxes of 1.1 million Euros which weighed on net profit for the first half of the year (1 million Euros).

    Robust Financial Structure

    Long-term debt (30.7 million Euros) remains very contained in comparison to shareholders' equity (117 million Euros). Cash and cash equivalents amount to more than 19 million Euros, compared to 9.4 million Euros as of December 31, 2007.

    Full Year Objectives and Medium-Term Development Plan Confirmed Net Rebound in Profitability Expected During Second Half of 2008

    Publishing profitability will benefit from strategic development of Hi-Media's audiences, particularly proprietary audiences. While tight advertising market conditions are likely to prevail in the second half, strongly-accelerating growth in micro-payments is expected to help meet Hi-Media's revenue (turnover) objective of over 140 million Euros, with an operating profit in the 17-18 million Euros range before the cost of share grants.

    Hi Media Confirms Medium Term Strategic Outlook

    Following 2007, which demonstrated the powerful leverage of the Hi-Media model, 2008 will be a transition year. The investment program should accelerate Hi-Media's ongoing transformation into an integrated Internet media group: developing the proprietary audience, strengthening micro-payments by launching the electronic wallet and acquiring Mobile Trend represent significant progress toward the profit objective (expressed in current operating profit before cost of share grants) of 20% by 2012.

    Financial calendar

    Revenue and quarterly information for the third quarter of 2008 will be published on November 6, 2008.

    The financial report relating to the period ended on 30 June 2008 is available on the company's website at http://www.hi-media.com/, under the section Corporate Information / Financial Communication.

    Cyberlux Corporation Awarded Additional U.S. Patent Claims for BrightEye / WatchDog Portable Light DevicesThe U.S. Patent Office grants 21 additional patent claims in Portable Light Device U.S. Patent Application

    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cyberlux Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: CYBL) , a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the U.S. Patent Office has recently awarded patent protection for 21 claims contained within the Company's U.S. Patent Application for Portable Light Device, Application Number 11/336,562 filed on January 21, 2006. The new patent claims define specific areas of patent protection for the Company's BrightEye and WatchDog portable lighting products and augment the 29 patent claims announced in May 2008. In combination, the 50 patent claims provide Cyberlux with thorough patent protection for its WatchDog and BrightEye family of tactical lighting products, as well as any future products developed on this patent foundation.

    "Cyberlux continues to be a leader in solid-state LED lighting innovation, and these additional 21 patent claims will extend the scope of patent protection we have on our breakthrough tactical lighting systems. In addition, this patent foundation will provide the technical basis for future product development and new product engineering advances," said Mark Schmidt, president and chief executive officer for Cyberlux. "With the Company's continued focus on profitability and growth, the development of innovative, patentable solid-state LED lighting technology is a strategic imperative and a keystone component of our long-term growth."

    The new claims awarded by the U.S. Patent Office address a lighting device comprised of an array of LEDs that operate in spot-light and flood-light modes of illumination, or in a spot-light/flood-light combined mode, with alterable intensity levels, controlled by an electrical power system and electrical sensor operation. Further, the new claims cover the user interface that allows the user to change operating modes continuously between spot-light and flood- light illumination and to display the battery power capacity on a percentage and time interval basis.

    In addition, the claims address the specifics around the use of narrowing lenses as LED optics adapted to focus illumination in a cone angle between 4 and 50 degrees. This unique optical method and practice enable the spot-light and flood-light modes of illumination.

    Lastly, the claims address the use of a computer and computer-executable programming instructions for operating a lighting device. The operations are defined as comprising the steps of sensing electrical power information, sensing modes of illumination information and sensing LED intensity information provided by a user via the user interface, directing the array of LEDs to operate in either a spot-light, flood-light or combined mode of illumination, directing the array of LEDs to operate at a desired intensity level, and displaying the power supply capacity message to the user based upon the sensed electrical power, mode of illumination and LED intensity information.

    These newly awarded 21 patent claims provide Cyberlux with a deeper, more extensible intellectual property platform for the current tactical lighting system products and for future lighting systems currently under development. Importantly, the combined 50 patent claims create a significant licensing portfolio that will allow other companies access to these fundamental LED lighting capabilities.

    About Cyberlux Corporation

    Cyberlux Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: CYBL) , a leader in solid-state lighting innovation, has developed breakthrough LED lighting technology that provides the most energy efficient and cost effective portable lighting solutions available today for military and commercial uses. The Military and Homeland Security products provide tactical covert and visible lighting capability and are designed as highly mobile, battery-powered lighting systems ideal for threat detection, force and asset protection and general expeditionary lighting needs.

    AT&T Smartphones Get Smarter With Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008Two Smartphones From AT&T Now Support New Enterprise-Grade Mobile Management Security and Remote Access Solution Via Windows Mobile 6.1 Downloads

    DALLAS, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. today announced that the eagerly anticipated Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 (MDM) is now available to AT&T business customers who use smartphones running Windows Mobile 6.1. In conjunction with the availability of Mobile Device Manager, AT&T also announced today the availability of the MDM Early Adopter QuickStart Program that was developed cooperatively by AT&T and Enterprise Mobile and is an exclusive offering designed to assist AT&T customers with deploying the Microsoft mobility solution.

    Mobile Device Manager is an enterprise-grade mobile device management solution that also provides security, mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN) and software distribution for Windows Mobile devices. Mobile Device Manager is natively supported by the latest version of the Windows Mobile operating system, Windows Mobile 6.1. Windows Mobile 6.1 is now available for free download to AT&T Tilt(TM) and MOTO Q(TM) Global smartphones from AT&T, which has the broadest portfolio of Windows Mobile devices of any U.S. carrier. Additional new smartphones launched by AT&T later this year will feature Windows Mobile 6.1 with support for Mobile Device Manager.

    With Mobile Device Manager, AT&T customers using Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphones now have secured access to applications, files, corporate data and other information that is located on the corporate network and previously inaccessible without a secure VPN connection. For example, customers can now access information such as price sheets, marketing collateral and legal documents on the corporate network -- items that were often previously available only through PCs or laptops.

    Mobile Device Manager also gives the corporate information technology (IT) departments of AT&T customers that use Microsoft software's new security and management tools that work well with existing infrastructure investments, such as Active Directory and SQL Server. Mobile Device Manager's tight integration into Active Directory extends group policy management capabilities to Windows Mobile smartphones. This integration allows IT managers to manage smartphones similar to the way they manage desktop computers, making them first-class citizens on the corporate network.

    "Quite simply, Mobile Device Manager will allow our corporate customers to get significantly more value from their Windows Mobile phone deployments," said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Voice/Data and Wireless Products for AT&T's wireless operation. "Through Mobile Device Manager, our customers' mobile employees now have access to a greater degree of information through their smartphones to make them even more productive, while also providing at the IT level the security and device management capabilities that our customers require."

    Stephanie Ferguson, general manager, Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft Corp., said: "Microsoft is committed to providing businesses with powerful, familiar and flexible mobile solutions, and we've extended the management capabilities for IT professionals with Mobile Device Manager. We applaud AT&T and Enterprise Mobile for creating the Early Adopter QuickStart Program so that their business customers can more immediately deploy and benefit from Mobile Device Manager and Windows Mobile 6.1 phones."

    The deployment process for Mobile Device Manager can be made much more efficient through the MDM Early Adopter QuickStart Program from Enterprise Mobile, a Watertown, Mass.-based company that develops, deploys and manages solutions based on the Windows Mobile platform.

    The MDM Early Adopter QuickStart Program enables enterprises to try Mobile Device Manager's unique abilities to manage mobile devices, define access rights, provide additional security features for data transmissions, coordinate over-the-air software updates and protect the corporate network from unauthorized access. Using the program, customers can define their mobility management and security requirements and build a "test" scenario as well as deploy a proof of concept for evaluating and testing within their environment.

    "As organizations chart a course for wider rollout of mobility strategies, device management continues to emerge as one of the biggest challenges," said Mort Rosenthal, chairman and chief executive officer of Enterprise Mobile. "Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 provides enterprises with the technology infrastructure to overcome this challenge. This robust technology platform coupled with AT&T and Enterprise Mobile's MDM Early Adopter QuickStart Program allows enterprises to determine their mobility management and security requirements and develop a customized mobility strategy to ensure a successful enterprise-wide mobility rollout."

    Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 is available through Microsoft resellers. The MDM Early Adopter QuickStart Program is available through a co-sale arrangement between AT&T and Enterprise Mobile.

    Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Applied Materials, Hewlett-Packard, EMC, and Qualcomm

    PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Applied Materials , Hewlett-Packard , EMC , and Qualcomm .

    Next Inning published an extensive strategy review by editor Paul McWilliams that provides readers with a unique insight into the macroeconomic landscape for technology companies and his views as to when we can expect the next rally. In this report, he outlines exactly why tech stocks have come under pressure recently and what stocks he thinks investors should buy now in preparation for the next rally.

    https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn706

    In his special Strategy Review, McWilliams wrote: "As much as I like all the CEOs of all the companies noted here as proxies, Mark Hurd may be the best of all; what he's accomplished with Hewlett-Packard since taking it over is nothing short of miraculous and, in my view, it just keeps getting better. As I predicted in my earnings preview this week, Hewlett-Packard handily topped expectations again..."

    McWilliams also looks at these topics:

    -- Has Applied Materials' expansion into adjacent markets made it less vulnerable to cyclical trends? At what price would McWilliams add shares?

    -- Has EMC's CEO made the right moves in overseeing spin-off VMWare? Does McWilliams see more upside for EMC from here?

    -- Is Wall Street overly worried about Hewlett-Packard's acquisition of EDS? Does McWilliams expect Hewlett-Packard to leverage the deal favorably?

    -- What important long-term story for Qualcomm is Wall Street missing?

    Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 229% since its inception versus 84% for the Nasdaq.
