On2 Technologies Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008Revenue increases 23% in fiscal 2008CFO transition planned

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Alternext US: ONT), a leader in video compression solutions, today announced quarterly and annual financial results for the period ending December 31, 2008. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $3.6 million, compared to revenue of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year fourth quarter revenue decline was primarily due to challenging business conditions in the global semiconductor industry in which the company's Finnish subsidiary, On2 Finland, operates, while the sequential decline was due largely to normal quarter-to-quarter variability in licensing patterns. On a GAAP basis, fourth quarter net loss was ($10.2) million, or ($0.06) per share, compared to a net loss of ($1.8) million, or ($0.01) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2007. The loss was largely driven by a $7.0 million non-cash write-down of goodwill and intangible assets related to the company's On2 Finland business.

For the year 2008, revenue was $16.3 million, up 23% from $13.2 million in 2007. GAAP net loss for 2008 was ($51.2) million, or ($0.30) per share, compared to $6.9 million, or ($0.06) per share, in 2007. In 2008, the company wrote down $33.3 million in goodwill and intangible assets related to its On2 Finland operation.

Matt Frost, Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Executive Officer of On2 Technologies said, "We are pleased with our business progress in 2008. We were particularly encouraged to see royalty revenue increase 76% in 2008, confirming growing use of our technology among a larger group of customers. In the fourth quarter we saw some normal quarter-to-quarter variability after a strong third quarter, resulting in a sequential revenue decline. Additionally, our On2 Finland operation had a weaker performance in light of the global economic recession, which has affected our semiconductor and OEM customers and partners. However, our software-based encoding solutions continue to be successful in the current economic environment. As consumers are looking for lower-cost entertainment and video content distributors look to reduce bandwidth costs, on-line video continues to grow in popularity and our solutions have demonstrated a compelling return on investment for video content producers and providers."

Frost continued, "We are pleased with the results of our recent cost-cutting efforts and we expect to see further benefits of these measures in early 2009. We are optimistic that our differentiated bandwidth- and cost-reducing technology will continue to be adopted by customers, despite - or in some cases perhaps, because of - macroeconomic conditions. Further, based on our current new business and cost-containment projections, we continue to anticipate that the Company's existing capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements for the next 12 months. We believe our more streamlined operations better position us for success in a soft economy and should provide even greater advantage when the economy improves."

On2 Technologies also announced today that it plans to appoint Wayne Boomer as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Anthony Principe, who plans to resign this month. Mr. Boomer joins On2 from Inmedius, Inc., where he served as CFO and Vice President of Finance for over five years. In that role, he was responsible for management of finance, HR, IT, contracts and facilities worldwide. Prior to joining Inmedius, Mr. Boomer spent seven years with MapInfo Corporation in finance roles of increasing responsibility, including Director of Finance and Operations for the 140 employees working in MapInfo's Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Mr. Boomer began his career at Coopers and Lybrand, where he was a senior associate. He graduated from Siena College earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and is a CPA.

"It has been a pleasure to work with Tony Principe for the last five years," said Matt Frost, interim Chief Executive Officer. "The Company and board of directors are grateful for his many contributions and we wish him well in his future endeavors. We are very pleased to be welcoming Wayne Boomer to On2 and are confident that the CFO transition will be a smooth process."

Fourth Quarter Business Highlights -- Royalties increased 16% year-over-year to $820,000 in the fourth quarter and decreased 15% sequentially. Royalties represented 23% of revenue in the quarter, compared with 11% in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 19% of revenue in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in year-over-year royalties reflects higher unit shipments and increased delivery of video that uses On2 technology. -- Royalties were $3.4 million in 2008, up 76% from $1.9 million in 2007 and represented 21% of 2008 revenue. Royalties increased year-over-year due to increases in both the number of royalty-paying customers and the average royalty per customer. -- In the fourth quarter of 2008, On2 added over 50 new customers, excluding online sales, with 12 transactions in the quarter that contributed over $50,000 to revenue. -- In November, On2 introduced Flix(R) Cloud, a video transcoding solution building on On2's popular Flix Engine. Flix Cloud will operate in the Amazon EC2(R) (Elastic Computing Cloud) and provide on-demand, pay-as-you-go networked transcoding. -- In November, On2 announced that China's leading video-sharing website, 56.com, is switching to VP6-based Flash video and is using the Flix encoding engine for server-side transcoding and publishing. 56.com serves video to over 35 million people each month and chose On2's VP6 encoder based on factors including encoding speed, video performance and quality, market acceptance, and licensing terms. -- In November, On2 announced that Skype has extended its relationship with On2 in a new strategic agreement. In February, Skype 4.0 for Windows was launched featuring advanced video conferencing capabilities that use On2's VP7 technology. Additionally, Asus recently launched its AiGuru SV1 Skype Certified videophone, which also uses VP7 technology. -- In December, On2 added support for Sun JavaFX(R) to the Flix line of video encoders, enabling cross-platform video encoding for JavaFX applications.

FORTUNE Names EMC the Only Technology Company Among World's 10 Most Admired Companies for Product and Service QualityEMC Named 'Industry Champion' in its Sector for Second Year in a Row

HOPKINTON, Mass., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, is the only technology company among the World's 10 Most Admired Companies for Product and Service Quality, according to FORTUNE magazine's prestigious annual ranking of the "World's Most Admired Companies." The Product and Service Quality rankings are derived from a survey of executives, directors and financial analysts across all industries.

FORTUNE also named EMC "Industry Champion" as the #1 Most Admired Company overall in its industry sector for the second consecutive year. EMC was ranked #1 in all nine individual categories used by the magazine to rank the Most Admired Companies in each industry, including Innovation, People Management, Use of Corporate Assets, Social Responsibility, Quality of Management, Financial Soundness, Long-Term Investment, Quality of Products and Services and Global Competitiveness.

"Product and service quality tops the list of our customers' most critical requirements," said Frank Hauck, EMC Executive Vice President of Global Marketing and Customer Quality. "It is no coincidence that product and service quality is central to the way we measure and run EMC's business, and that this broad cross-section of global executives would rank EMC as the only technology company on such a prestigious list makes us incredibly proud. We are deeply honored to be recognized by FORTUNE, our peers and thousands of executives and analysts among the top echelon of global companies. I want to thank EMC's employees worldwide for their continued commitment to providing our customers with the best total customer experience."

FORTUNE's Most Admired Companies list is widely considered the definitive measure of corporate performance and reputation. This year, the magazine changed its survey format, combining the world's and America's Most Admired surveys into one global survey. To identify the Most Admired Companies, FORTUNE and its partner the Hay Group, survey top executives and boards of directors from the FORTUNE 1000 and Global 500 companies, and financial analysts who rate companies on nine attributes that include innovation, people management, social responsibility, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness.

The Most Admired survey results are featured in the March 16 issue of FORTUNE, and are accessible online at http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mostadmired/2009/snapshots/670.html.

Mobile Services to Capture More Advertising Revenue in Emerging Markets, Finds Pyramid Research

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

As market penetration rates for mobile services continue to soar in emerging markets, advertisers are expected to dramatically increase their spending on "third-screen" ad campaigns targeted specifically to users of mobile data services, providing a potentially huge new revenue stream for operators of mobile networks, according to the latest report by Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com).

"Mobile Advertising in Emerging Markets" examines mobile advertising initiatives and the revenue potential in emerging markets, with a particular emphasis on Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Romania, Russia, South Africa, and Turkey. This 84-page report puts Pyramid Research's findings in context by making comparisons with global trends and developed markets, such as the U.S. and the U.K. Download an excerpt of this report here: http://www.pyramidresearch.com/downloads.htm?id=1&sc=PR030509_MOBAD

Pyramid predicts that mobile advertising will boost mobile data service revenues by 10 percent within the next five years, as mobile service adoption rates grow worldwide. Mobile data services are expected to account for more than 33 percent of operators' service revenues at the global level by 2013, making any driver of this market a strategic component.

The expected growth in mobile data subscriptions will make mobile advertising a robust growth area despite an expected overall downturn in advertising spending over the next two years, notes Jan Ten Sythoff, manager of Mobile Content at Pyramid Research and co-author of the report. "Fixed-line Internet and mobile platforms will take market share away from traditional formats in the short term and grow in line with economic recovery from 2011 onward," says Sythoff. "Mobile and Internet platforms combined will account for roughly 12 percent of overall advertising spending in emerging markets and 30 percent in developed countries by 2013."

The Pyramid report identifies eight developing markets in which mobile advertising initiatives are gaining ground. Combined, these markets will account for more than 35 percent of mobile subscriptions worldwide by 2013. "South Africa and Indonesia stand out as markets where the mobile sector's share of overall advertising spending will surpass that of the Internet medium as early as 2009," says Sythoff.

"The development of mobile advertising is favorably affected by mobile networks' evolution to 3G, but even basic services, such as sponsored messaging and alert systems, are enabling brands to reach a wider audience and make the most of the mobile channel. For example, SMS-based approaches can help companies reach more than 60 percent of the mobile audience across emerging markets immediately and close to all subscribers in five years."

"Mobile Advertising in Emerging Markets" is part of Pyramid's research report series. A blend of primary research and qualitative analysis, Pyramid's research reports offer comprehensive coverage of the fixed and mobile communications space and enable those in the communications industry to stay ahead of changing market dynamics.

Certicom Reports Third Quarter Results

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Certicom Corp. (TSX:CIC) ("Certicom" or the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter ended January 31, 2009. All figures are in U.S. dollars and presented in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), except where otherwise noted.

Revenue for the quarter was $6.9 million, compared to $6.1 million in the third quarter last year. Year-to-date, revenue was $17.7 million, up 35% from $13.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2008. The majority of the revenue growth was due to the Company's sale of higher value solutions focused on the Energy & Utilities and Semiconductor sectors.

"We have continued with the momentum in building a stronger revenue stream from our new market verticals - Energy & Utilities and Semiconductors - and we are currently on track in achieving the objectives of our three-year plan. In spite of the challenging economic environment, Certicom continues to develop significant opportunities in "smart energy" and "smart grid" initiatives in the energy sector. And, we are helping semiconductor companies reduce their operating costs," said Karna Gupta, CEO.

Operating Highlights for the Quarter - Acquisition of Certicom by Research In Motion Limited announced. - Certicom launched its new Asset Management System, which is being implemented by global leaders in semiconductor manufacturing to help lower their inventory and supply chain costs and enhance their competiveness. - Certicom's Asset Management System has been deployed by nVidia and other leading companies in the semiconductor market. - Certicom's Device Authentication Service for ZigBee Smart Energy shipped more than 500,000 certificates for smart metering devices to help utilities and customers achieve more efficient energy consumption. - Certicom announced that 10 leading suppliers licensed the Company's Smart Energy technology to address ZigBee Alliance smart energy markets. Subsequent to Quarter-end - Certicom's Board of Directors recommends that shareholders approve Research In Motion Limited's proposed acquisition of Certicom. A Special Meeting of shareholders to approve the acquisition will be held on March 18, 2009. Financial Review

Revenue for the quarter was $6.9 million, compared to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Year-to-date, revenue was $17.7 million, up 35% from $13.1 million reported for the same period last year. The Company's strategic focus on larger, higher value contracts, along with other new initiatives, were the main drivers of revenue growth. The revenue distribution for the nine-month period was 36% from toolkit licences, 24% from higher valued solutions being deployed to verticals such as Energy and Utilities and Semiconductors, 16% from professional services, and the balance from maintenance and intellectual property. Thirty-nine percent of the year-to-date revenue came from new customers and 30% from new contracts. This distribution is in line with the Company's strategic plan. During the third quarter, recurring revenue was $2.4 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior quarter and $2.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2008.

Operating expenses, excluding the Sony litigation and M&A related costs, were $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2008. For the nine month period, operating expenses, excluding Sony litigation and M&A related costs, were $19.5 million, compared to $17.0 million for the same period last year. The higher expenses were due mainly to accelerated product development initiatives along with one time management restructuring costs.

Expenses related to the Sony litigation were $1.7 million in the third quarter, compared to $0.3 million in the same period for 2008. On a year-to-date basis, expenses related to the Sony litigation were $4.6 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period for 2008. M&A related expenses in the third quarter of 2009, which were not incurred in fiscal 2008, were $1.7 million.

The Company posted an operating profit(3) of $0.2 million in the third quarter, excluding Sony and acquisition related activities, and reported a net loss for the third quarter of $3.6 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. Year-to-date, the net loss was $9.5 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, in the same nine-month period in 2008.

Certicom had $31.1 million of cash on hand at the end of the third quarter and remains debt free. Subsequent to the quarter end, Certicom paid a $3.3 million (Cdn$4.0 million) fee to terminate its Arrangement Agreement with Verisign in accordance with the terms of that agreement.

Proposed Acquisition of Certicom by Research In Motion Limited

A Special Committee of independent Directors was formed in early December after an unsolicited bid of Cdn$1.50 per share for the acquisition of Certicom was announced by Research In Motion Limited ("RIM"). The committee, supported by the Company management and by its financial and legal advisors, conducted a shareholder value maximization process involving the participation of several interested parties.

On February 10, 2009, Certicom announced that it had accepted a proposal from RIM to acquire all of Certicom's outstanding common shares at a cash price of Cdn$3.00 per common share. The board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the acquisition. To this end, a special meeting for shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m (Toronto time) on February 20, 2009 has been convened for Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Details of the meeting are set out in an information circular mailed to Certicom shareholders on February 23, 2009, which is also available on SEDAR and Certicom's website at http://www.certicom.com/.

Commenting on the transaction, Chairman of the Board Jeff Chisholm, said, "As a long serving member of the Board, I am gratified by the recognition Certicom has received as the global leader in Elliptic Curve Cryptography technology and comprehensive security solutions for a wide range of market verticals. Certicom employees should be rightfully proud that their hard work, especially given the harsh economic environment of the past year, has created significant value for the Company and its shareholders."

Developing Markets Will Fuel Telecom Capex Recovery in 2010, Report FindsTelecom capex will begin growing in 2010 due to increased spending and new market expansion, says Light Reading Insider

NEW YORK, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the current worldwide economic downturn, telecom capital expenditure (capex) will begin to grow again in 2010, fueled by increased government spending and by expansion of service offerings into new markets, according to the latest report from Light Reading Insider (http://www.lightreading.com/insider), a paid research service of TechWeb's Light Reading (http://www.lightreading.com/).

After the Freeze: A Five-Year Telecom Capex Forecast examines the impact of the economic downturn on telecom investment around the world, and offers forecasts for global capex between 2008 and 2013. It investigates the likely trends in different geographical regions and identifies national and technological markets that are likely to see growth in 2009 and beyond.

For a list of companies analyzed in this report, please see: http://img.lightreading.com/lri/pdf/lri0309companies.pdf

"The global economic downturn has prompted a rash of earnings warnings, and has led to a horde of telecom operators announcing cost-cutting initiatives," says Danny Dicks, research analyst for Light Reading Insider. "There are geographic locations and technology markets that, if not offering huge growth potential over the next year or two, will offer some growth and some places of refuge for vendors."

Globally, markets are reacting differently in the face of a hurting economy, Dicks notes. "There are highs and lows in terms of infrastructure investment across all the major geographic blocks," Dicks says. "In spite of the gloomy headlines, it looks as if there a lot of new network construction underway or imminent around the world."

Key findings of After the Freeze: A Five-Year Telecom Capex Forecast include:

-- Global telecom capex is expected to begin growing again in 2010, after a slight contraction in 2009 -- Government stimulus, operator investment in new broadband technologies, and the awarding of new mobile licenses will drive new infrastructure spending -- Spending on mobile and fixed backhaul infrastructure has overtaken spending on fixed access networks -- Capex growth will be strongest in the Asia/Pacific region, which will present challenges to incumbent Western vendors -- Africa and the Middle East will be the fastest-growing markets, but their total capex will still account for less than 10 percent of worldwide spending in 2013

After the Freeze: A Five-Year Telecom Capex Forecast is available as part of an annual single-user subscription (12 monthly issues) to Light Reading Insider, priced at $1,595. Individual reports are available for $900 (single-user license).

Boeing Expands Electronic Flight Bag OfferingsHardware provides customers the flexibility they want in an EFB solution

SEATTLE, March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today Boeing announced an agreement with Esterline CMC Electronics to provide Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) hardware on selected airplane models for production and retrofit, starting with the Next-Generation 737. A second provider will be announced later.

"Boeing is providing the very important elements of end-to-end integration as well as commonality across EFB classes. Many Class 2 providers offer no integration, leaving it to be done by the airline. This can add unanticipated cost and increase technical and schedule risk," said Robert Manelski, director of Crew Information Services, Commercial Aviation Services, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Our EFB solution is fully integrated, allowing customers the flexibility they want, with Boeing support throughout the life cycle of the product."

Boeing is developing a common application suite and ground infrastructure for use across Class 1, 2, and 3 EFBs to maximize the value of the EFB infrastructure by including Boeing and Jeppesen applications and data.

"This selection of our PilotView(R) EFB makes the most of our strengths in Class 2 hardware delivery and combines it with Boeing's strengths in data delivery and integration," said Jean-Pierre Morteux, CMC Electronics president and chief executive officer. "We believe this combination will offer the flexibility that customers are seeking."

The EFB contains all documentation and forms that pilots carry -- aeronautical maps and charts, manuals, minimum equipment lists and logbooks -- in digital format and puts them at the crew's fingertips. The Boeing system provides an integrated solution from the airplane to the airline's back office and offers value through improved operational efficiencies.

In October 2003, Boeing became the first to have a Class 3 EFB certified and integrated on the 777 fleet . Since then, Boeing has certified the Boeing Class 3 EFB for the Next-Generation 737, 757, 767 and 747-400 models and has made it standard on the 787 Dreamliner and Boeing Business Jets. Boeing currently has more than 1,000 Class 3 EFBs on order.

Mobile Services to Capture More Advertising Revenue in Emerging Markets, Finds Pyramid Research

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- As market penetration rates for mobile services continue to soar in emerging markets, advertisers are expected to dramatically increase their spending on "third-screen" ad campaigns targeted specifically to users of mobile data services, providing a potentially huge new revenue stream for operators of mobile networks, according to the latest report by Pyramid Research (http://www.pyr.com/), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (http://www.lightreading.com/).

"Mobile Advertising in Emerging Markets" examines mobile advertising initiatives and the revenue potential in emerging markets, with a particular emphasis on Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Romania, Russia, South Africa, and Turkey. This 84-page report puts Pyramid Research's findings in context by making comparisons with global trends and developed markets, such as the U.S. and the U.K. Download an excerpt of this report here: http://www.pyramidresearch.com/downloads.htm?id=1&sc=PR030509_MOBAD

Pyramid predicts that mobile advertising will boost mobile data service revenues by 10 percent within the next five years, as mobile service adoption rates grow worldwide. Mobile data services are expected to account for more than 33 percent of operators' service revenues at the global level by 2013, making any driver of this market a strategic component.

The expected growth in mobile data subscriptions will make mobile advertising a robust growth area despite an expected overall downturn in advertising spending over the next two years, notes Jan Ten Sythoff, manager of Mobile Content at Pyramid Research and co-author of the report. "Fixed-line Internet and mobile platforms will take market share away from traditional formats in the short term and grow in line with economic recovery from 2011 onward," says Sythoff. "Mobile and Internet platforms combined will account for roughly 12 percent of overall advertising spending in emerging markets and 30 percent in developed countries by 2013."

The Pyramid report identifies eight developing markets in which mobile advertising initiatives are gaining ground. Combined, these markets will account for more than 35 percent of mobile subscriptions worldwide by 2013. "South Africa and Indonesia stand out as markets where the mobile sector's share of overall advertising spending will surpass that of the Internet medium as early as 2009," says Sythoff.

"The development of mobile advertising is favorably affected by mobile networks' evolution to 3G, but even basic services, such as sponsored messaging and alert systems, are enabling brands to reach a wider audience and make the most of the mobile channel. For example, SMS-based approaches can help companies reach more than 60 percent of the mobile audience across emerging markets immediately and close to all subscribers in five years."

"Mobile Advertising in Emerging Markets" is part of Pyramid's research report series. A blend of primary research and qualitative analysis, Pyramid's research reports offer comprehensive coverage of the fixed and mobile communications space and enable those in the communications industry to stay ahead of changing market dynamics.

GoAdv: Chiffre d'affaires annuel - Très belle année 2008 : + 88%

PARIS, March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Chiffre d'affaires de 37,9 MEUR, en croissance de + 88%

- Projet de rapprochement amical avec leGuide.com pour créer un leader des media shopping online européen

GoAdv a réalisé en 2008 un chiffre d'affaires(1) de 37,9 millions d'euros contre 20,2 millions d'euros en 2007(2), en croissance de 88%. Au quatrième trimestre, la croissance reste soutenue dans un contexte économique pourtant plus délicat, avec un chiffre d'affaires de 10,0 MEUR en progression de 28%(3).

Ainsi, depuis sa création l'activité du Groupe progresse à un rythme très soutenu grâce à une stratégie de développement offensive alliant croissance interne et intégration réussie du portail Excite.

GoAdv a poursuivi son développement à l'international en ouvrant de nouveaux bureaux à Casablanca (Maroc) fin 2008. Cette base opérationnelle abrite des fonctions de back-office, incluant le développement de contenus éditoriaux en langues francophone et hispanophone. Faisant suite à l'inauguration de bureaux à Manille (Philippines) qui fournissent des contenus en anglais, cette ouverture renforce la capacité du groupe à produire des contenus éditoriaux à bas coût pour les sites du groupe dans les langues de leurs lecteurs.

Au cours du trimestre, le portefeuille de services et de produits du groupe s'est également étoffé. Avec le lancement du marque-page numérique Excite Bookmarks, le portail européen de divertissement Excite a renforcé sa dimension de media social, déjà existante par des outils de blogging et d'agrégation de flux.

Le groupe GoAdv, media on-line spécialiste de la génération et de la monétisation de trafic sur Internet, a également optimisé et élargi ses campagnes publicitaires pour augmenter le retour sur investissement des partenaires et des clients.

Luca Ascani, Co-fondateur et Président Directeur Général de GoAdv déclare : << Cette année est conforme aux objectifs de développement que nous nous sommes fixés depuis la création du Groupe et ce dans un contexte économique plus délicat. 2008 a été une nouvelle année d'expansion internationale, de déploiement d'Excite en Europe depuis son acquisition fin 2007 et de consolidation des fondamentaux du groupe sur l'ensemble de ses marchés clés. >>

Le 16 février, GoAdv a annoncé son projet de rapprochement amical avec LeGuide.com en vue de créer le premier acteur en Europe et en France des média shopping online, l'unique << pure player >> de ce secteur ayant une telle présence géographique, et détenant des media dans huit langues.

Ce projet de rapprochement répond à une logique industrielle et une vision stratégique ambitieuse qui sera rapidement créatrice de valeur pour le nouvel ensemble constitué et ses actionnaires.

Le nouvel ensemble, composé des sites de GoAdv (Excite et Better Deals) et des sites de LeGuide.com (LeGuide.com et Dooyoo) disposerait d'une palette de produits media complète pour accompagner l'internaute dans son acte d'achat : du contenu des offres à la comparaison de prix et aux commentaires des utilisateurs.

GoAdv détient à ce jour 395 648 actions LeGuide.com, soit 11,8 % du capital et 10,8 % des droits de vote (4) et précise avoir déclaré auprès de la société le 18 décembre dernier le franchissement à la hausse des seuils de 5 % et 10 % en capital et droits de vote, franchissements de seuils réalisés en date du 12 décembre 2008.

Le visa de l'AMF est attendu prochainement et donnera aux actionnaires tous les détails des modalités.

Prochaine communication financière : 23 avril 2009 : Résultats annuels 2008

A propos de GoAdv - ISIN FR0010500975 - MNEMO: ALGOA

Depuis sa création en 2004 par Luca Ascani et Salvatore Esposito, GoAdv est devenu un des spécialistes européens de la génération de trafic qualifié sur Internet.

Entreprise rentable et en forte croissance, GoAdv affichait un chiffre d'affaires de 20 MEUR fin 2007 et de 27,9 MEUR au 30 septembre 2008 (données 9 mois), grâce à l'effet combiné d'une croissance organique forte et de l'intégration réussie du portail Excite.

Verizon Foundation Announces Availability of $25,000 in Education GrantsFunds Will Enable Rhode Island Public Schools to Use Thinkfinity.org to Prepare Students for the 21st Century

PROVIDENCE, R.I., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Verizon Foundation is helping Rhode Island public schools better prepare students to succeed in the 21st century. Amid the increased focus on student achievement, public schools across Rhode Island are invited to apply for grants that use the Verizon Foundation's Thinkfinity.org, an online education resource, to improve student learning.

The foundation will award grants of $5,000 each -- a total of $25,000 -- to five public schools across Rhode Island to integrate Thinkfinity.org into the classroom. Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation's comprehensive online portal that offers more than 55,000 educational and literacy resources for teachers, parents and students. Resources include standards-based, grade-specific, K-12 lesson plans and engaging interactive activities provided in partnership with many of the nation's leading educational and literacy organizations.

"Thinkfinity.org is a great education tool that helps educators prepare students for the 21st century, and helps the students reach their full potential," said Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president of New England. "We want to encourage public school educators to use Thinkfinity.org in the classroom to help our children gain the skills needed to be successful in a global economy."

More information on the grant process is available at http://www.verizon.com/ri. Interested public schools should apply by April 6.

The Verizon Foundation recently awarded $25,000 to support a partnership with RI NET and the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to train teachers to use Thinkfinity.org in the classroom. The partnership is providing professional-development opportunities to classroom and pre-service teachers statewide through on-site and online training, and resources to create a Rhode Island network of Thinkfinity trainers.

The Web site offers teachers resources across eight academic disciplines, from science to English to mathematics, to improve student achievement. Thinkfinity.org is designed to help teachers gain access to lesson plans, interactive activities, primary sources, references and other authoritative resources that can be searched by grade level, keyword, subject or resource type.

Content for Thinkfinity.org is provided through a partnership between the Verizon Foundation and 11 of the nation's leading organizations in the fields of education and literacy: the American Association for the Advancement of Science, International Reading Association, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, National Center for Family Literacy, National Council on Economic Education, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Council of Teachers of English, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, National Geographic Society, ProLiteracy Worldwide and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

The Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, supports the advancement of literacy and K-12 education through its free educational Web site, Thinkfinity.org, and fosters awareness and prevention of domestic violence. In 2008, the Verizon Foundation awarded more than $68 million in grants to nonprofit agencies in the U.S. and abroad. It also matched the charitable donations of Verizon employees and retirees, resulting in an additional $26 million in combined contributions to nonprofits. Through Verizon Volunteers, one of the nation's largest employee volunteer programs, Verizon employees and retirees have volunteered more than 3 million hours of community service since 2000.

Next Inning Technology Research Updates Outlooks for UTStarcom, Microchip Technology, Altera, and Xilinx

PRINCETON, N.J., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has published a series of reports updating outlooks for UTStarcom , Microchip Technology , Altera , Xilinx , and more.

Throughout this challenging period in the market, Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers identify uniquely positioned tech sector opportunities. These include a specialty semiconductor stock that has returned 82% since McWilliams added it to the Next Inning model portfolio late last year.

By taking a free test drive of Next Inning, you'll receive real-time notification of Next Inning model portfolio buy and sell orders, the seven Next Inning Paradigm Papers covering key, long-term tech trends, and the exclusive "2009 Guide to Undervalued Tech Stocks." These reports cover nearly 100 technology companies and are chock full of charts and ratings that identify potential big winners for 2009 and which stocks investors should avoid. To accept this offer, visit the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn787

In a recent special report, McWilliams wrote, "The common thread in all three of these situations is China. China has introduced stimulus plans that include massive investments in wireless and wired telecom infrastructure as well as money to support technology purchases by consumers in rural areas. In the Asian press last night there were several other examples as to how this is positively impacting the Taiwanese supply chain. Below are just a few of the examples I think are noteworthy..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- What do investors need to know about recent insider activity at UTStarcom? Have insiders just sent a clear signal about the company's future?

-- McWilliams turned negative on Microchip in December when the stock was trading for just over $20.50. Now that the stock has fallen by

-10%, does he think it's time for investors to consider getting back in?

-- What developments were behind Altera's and Xilinx's decision to raise guidance in the midst of what has been a very challenging period for tech stocks? Why might Altera and Xilinx see demand for their products grow more quickly than aggregate semiconductor demand?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 118% since its inception versus 5% for the Nasdaq.

OpenVPX Industry Working Group Announces Call for ParticipationSteering Committee members open participation in the Technical Working Group, effective immediately

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The OpenVPX Industry Working Group (http://www.mc.com/OpenVPX), an alliance of leading-edge defense prime contractors and embedded computing systems suppliers, announced it has opened membership to its Technical Working Group, effectively immediately.

The OpenVPX Industry Working Group was recently launched to take a proactive approach in addressing the VPX system-level interoperability issues associated with the VPX (VITA 46) family of specifications. At its inaugural meeting held in Dallas, Texas last week, members of the anticipated Steering Committee, which is in the final stage of formation, set forth guidelines for the OpenVPX Industry Working Group's organizational structure, policies, and development of a system specification with a completion goal of October 2009. The recommendations were submitted to meeting participants on day two of the assembly.

Effective today, any COTS defense contractor or embedded computing supplier that is in good standing with the VITA Standards Organization (VSO), and is committed to the OpenVPX Industry Working Group's mission and aggressive schedule for completion of a system specification, is invited to apply for membership to the Technical Working Group.

"The overwhelming response to this initiative exceeded our expectations, and we're delighted to open enrollment to the Technical Working Group," said Ian Dunn, CTO, Mercury Computer Systems.

Mercury is taking the lead in forming the OpenVPX Industry Working Group to address prevalent VPX interoperability issues; and following a precedent set by VITA and other organizations, began the legwork with a concentrated circle of effort in order to bring a viable solution to market in a timely manner. With the strong interest in the OpenVPX initiative from defense contractors and embedded computing systems suppliers, the circle of expertise is expected to expand, and the results of the Technical Working Group's efforts are expected to be presented to the VSO for ratification before year's end.

"The Boeing Company supports the OpenVPX initiative as part of our ongoing efforts to work with the industry to develop standards that promote the interoperability of systems and assemblies," said Jim Robles, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow. "We welcome the opportunity to work with LSIs and vendors of VPX products in this effort."

Once the OpenVPX system specification is transitioned into VITA, the Working Group will disband.

"GE Fanuc has long been committed to the VPX architecture and to its potential to revolutionize military embedded computing, and we very much welcome this initiative that will lower the risk of adoption of VPX systems, expand the market and accelerate deployment," said Jim Berlin, CTO, Embedded Systems, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. "We're looking forward to building on the charter set at our first meeting, and moving ahead to complete a system specification in order to provide the necessary top-down, system-level design guidance."

The OpenVPX Technical Working Group F2F meeting is scheduled for March 16-17 in Orlando, Florida prior to the VSO quarterly meeting scheduled for the following day.
