Tri-S Security Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2008Revenue for 2009 Forecasted at $145-$150 Million

ATLANTA, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tri-S Security Corp. , a provider of security services for government and private entities, today announced its results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. Tri-S provides security services through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Paragon Systems, Inc. ("Paragon") and The Cornwall Group ("Cornwall").

Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2008 -- Revenues increased 52% for the quarter and 59% for the year, to $35.8 million and $141 million, respectively, from $23.5 million and $88.9 million, respectively, a year ago. -- Gross profit increased for the quarter and for the year, to $2.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively, from $0.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, a year ago, primarily due to the impact of the significant contracts awarded to Paragon. -- The operating loss for the year 2008 was $9.3 million compared to $6.8 million for the year 2007. The operating loss for the year 2008 includes a goodwill impairment charge of $6.2 million. Without this goodwill impairment charge, the operating loss for the year 2008 would have been reduced to $3.1 million, an improvement of $3.7 million over the year 2007. -- Net loss for the year was $14.1 million compared to a net loss of $4.3 million a year ago. Net loss per share for the year was $3.36 per share compared to $1.21 per share a year ago. -- EBITDA, as adjusted, for the year was a positive $1.1 million compared to a negative $2.9 million a year ago, an improvement of $4.0 million (see "EBITDA, as adjusted" definition below). Recent Highlights -- As part of Tri-S's strategic review of its results and operations, Tri-S decided to explore the sale of the Cornwall business in order to focus on the government business conducted by Paragon and to reduce the overall debt load. After reviewing a number of potential offers, Tri-S has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to sell the Cornwall business and anticipates closing such sale within forty-five days, subject to the execution of definitive transaction documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. -- Expect 2009 revenue to range from $140-$145 million for Paragon only, which is an increase year over year for Paragon of 35-40%. -- Signed a non-binding term sheet, subject to certain closing conditions with Wells Fargo Business Credit, for a new $25 million asset-based lending facility which will reduce our fees and interest charges by approximately $2.0 million on a full-year basis. -- Paragon awarded two new contracts to provide armed guard services in Los Angeles and San Diego, California. Both contracts are with the Department of Homeland Security and include security for the counties surrounding Los Angeles and San Diego. The Los Angeles contract and the San Diego contract are valued at approximately $94 and $47 million, respectively, for a combined total of $141 million in revenue over five years. -- Paragon awarded a contract to provide armed and unarmed guard services in Southern Virginia, scheduled to start April 1, 2009. The contract is with the Department of Homeland Security and is valued at approximately $42.5 million in revenue over five years. -- Total contract pipeline of approximately $531 million, including approximately $507 million of contracts under bid and approximately $24 million of contracts for which bids have been solicited and are in preparation. -- Settlement reached with respect to the litigation regarding Tri-S's initial public offering, subject to approval by the court. -- Agreement in principle reached regarding the investigation by Miami Dade County.

"The objective we set last year for top line growth in 2008 has been achieved with a 59% increase in revenue and total contract awards of $360 million," said Ronald Farrell, Chairman and CEO, Tri-S Security Corp. "The focus remains on continuing this growth and improving our margins in the government business. We expect Paragon to grow between 35 % and 40 % in 2009.

"I am pleased that we are exploring the sale of our Cornwall business in order to concentrate on the government business and to substantially reduce our debt load. So far in 2009, we have continued to maintain our operating costs flat and expect this trend to continue. Overall, we are focused on continuing to grow our government business and are excited about our opportunities during the coming year as evidenced by our current pipeline and the anticipated reduction to our debt costs."

Financial Discussion for Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2008

During the fourth quarter of 2008, revenue for Tri-S grew 52% to $35.8 million from $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The revenue increase was the result of new contracts awarded to Paragon. For the year 2008, revenue grew $52.4 million, or 59%, to $141.3 million as a result of new contract awards to Paragon.

During the year 2008, Paragon was awarded five new contracts which were transitioned into operations during the latter part of the second quarter and the beginning of the third and fourth quarters.

The gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2008 increased $1.4 million to $2.2 million from the $0.8 million gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2007. Gross profit for the year 2008 increased to $11.2 million from $5.5 million for the year 2007, an increase of $5.7 million. Both of these increases were primarily due to the new contracts awarded to Paragon.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of 23%, while revenue rose in the fourth quarter of 2008 by 53% compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. These costs increased to $13.6 million for the year 2008 compared to $11.4 million for the year 2007, an increase of 19%, while revenue increased for the same period by 59%. These costs represented 10.3% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 down from 12.7% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the year 2008, these same costs represented 9.6% of revenue down from 12.8% for the year 2007.

The operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $3.8 million compared to an operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 of $2.4 million, resulting primarily from the need to record additional goodwill impairment with respect to Cornwall of $2.2 million as a result of the impending sale under current market conditions. Without this goodwill impairment charge, the operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 would have been reduced to $1.6 million, an improvement of $0.8 million over the fourth quarter of 2007. The operating loss for the year 2008 was $9.3 million compared to $6.8 million for the year 2007. The operating loss for the year 2008 includes a goodwill impairment charge of $6.2 million. Without this goodwill impairment charge, the operating loss for the year 2008 would have been reduced to $3.1 million, an improvement of $3.7 million over the year 2007.

Net interest expense increased to $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $570,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the year 2008, interest expense increased from $2.4 million for the year 2007 to $5.0 million for the year 2008, mainly due to increased borrowings on incremental revenue and over advance interest.

Income taxes increased by $2.6 million for the year 2008 due to management's decision to record a valuation allowance of the same amount against deferred tax assets.

For the fourth quarter 2008, Tri-S's net loss was $5.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter 2007. Net loss per share for the fourth quarter 2008 was $1.20 compared to $0.60 for the fourth quarter 2007. For the year 2008, Tri-S's net loss was $14.1 million, compared to $4.3 for the year 2007. Net loss per share for the year 2008 was $3.36 compared to $1.21 for the year 2007.

EBITDA, as adjusted, was a loss of approximately $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of quarter of 2007. For the year 2008, EBITDA, as adjusted, was a positive $1.1 million compared to a loss of $2.9 million for the year 2007, an improvement of $4.0 million.

In this release, we use the non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA, as adjusted. EBITDA, as adjusted, is calculated as earnings before interest; taxes; depreciation and amortization; income from joint venture, net; non-cash stock-based compensation; start-up costs; and other income/expense. A reconciliation of EBITDA, as adjusted, to net loss for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, is attached to this press release.

"China TransInfo achieved several historical milestones in 2008 in terms of both our business operations and corporate development," stated Mr. Shudong Xia, chief executive officer of China TransInfo. "We have made remarkable progress in several core areas of our business operations, including being awarded the Olympic Games Traffic GIS Application System project and the expansion of our taxi media business in several domestic large cities, allowing us to achieve record financial results with solid top and bottom line growth. In addition to strong organic growth, China TransInfo acquired majority ownership of China TranWiseway and Dajian Zhitong, and full ownership of Shanghai Yootu. This has allowed us to strengthen our foundation for further expansion in the areas of transportation information services, taxi media, and real time traffic data technology and services."

"With respect to our corporate development, we successfully raised $15 million from a private placement and upgraded to Nasdaq Capital Market in the summer of 2008. Furthermore, with the addition of experienced independent directors and a new chief financial officer, we have raised the level of oversight and improved our corporate governance."

Fourth Quarter 2008 Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, revenues were $10.7 million, a 176.1% increase from $3.9 million posted during the same quarter in 2007. This was primarily due to an increase in sales of the Company's products and applications in the transportation business segment, which accounted for 59.1% of the total revenues in the quarter. The remaining revenue came from the Digital City sector, Land & Resources sector, and other business segments.

The Company's gross profit increased 160.2% to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $2.3 million a year ago. Gross margin was 56.9% in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to 60.3% during the same period in 2007. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the execution of lower-margin contracts from business segments outside of the transportation sector in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $2.0 million, up from $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Selling expenses were $0.7 million, compared with $0.2 million in the same period of 2007. The significant increase in selling expenses was primarily due to expansion of our business during the fourth quarter of 2008. Administrative expenses were $1.3 million in the three months ended December 31 2008, up from $0.4 million in the same period of 2007. The increase of administrative expenses was mainly attributable to increased staffing and expenses associated with being a public company.

Operating income increased 135.9% to $4.1 million, or 38.2% of revenues, compared to $1.7 million, or 44.7% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Other income was $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with other expense of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Other expense in the year ago period, was mainly attributed to non-cash expenses from the decrease in fair value of the Company's warrant liability.

Net income increased to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, or $0.19 per fully diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, during the same period in 2007. Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding increased to 22.3 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2008 from 19.9 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the acquisition and issuance of additional shares from a private placement in July 2008.

Full Year 2008 Results

Angie's List Chooses NeuStar's UltraDNS to Enhance the Security and Manageability of its Online PresencePopular Online Consumer Ratings Site Addresses Single Point of Failure in Critical Infrastructure

STERLING, Va., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeuStar, Inc. today announced that Angie's List (http://www.angieslist.com/), the nationwide ratings service with real consumer reviews of local service providers, has chosen NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Service to optimize the performance of its online operations.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080310/NEUSTARLOGO )

As with all web-enabled organizations, DNS is of critical importance to Angie's List's day-to-day operations. Prior to moving to the UltraDNS service, Angie's List relied on its Internet service provider (ISP) for its DNS infrastructure. Typical of such an arrangement, all requests for DNS changes had to be submitted manually to the ISP's ticketing system. Response times were variable, and Angie's List still had to verify that all changes were made correctly. Further, the ISP maintained all primary and secondary DNS servers in the same physical location, representing a "single point of failure" that could have brought down the entire Angie's List business operations in the event of an outage.

"Partnering with NeuStar has enabled us to take control of our own destiny," said Shane Wade, director of IT infrastructure and operations at Angie's List. "Through the UltraDNS management portal, we make all of our DNS changes and they are propagated globally in near-real time -- making it the fastest and most expansive that we have seen. In addition, with NeuStar's worldwide constellation of DNS servers, we have realized our disaster recovery goal of having no single point of failure."

NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Service provides enterprises with one of the world's most powerful DNS infrastructures, which is monitored around the clock and backed by a 99.999% uptime service level agreement. Enterprise customers retain administrative control of their DNS via a highly secure, web-based management portal.

"Angie's List has experienced dramatic growth over the past five years, and with that comes the need for increased operational control," said Alex Berry, senior vice president of NeuStar's Internet Infrastructure service group. "Many of our customers come to us because they need to take control of their DNS, but do not want to spend the capital, incur operational expenditures or shoulder the burden of supporting an in-house solution. The managed services approach gives customers the very best DNS infrastructure while at the same time providing them with complete control of their DNS activity."

More information about NeuStar's UltraDNS suite of services is available at http://www.ultradns.com/.

Global Med Technologies(R), Inc. Delivers Record Q4 and Year End RevenuesRecurring Revenues Soar 149%; Backlog Jumps 86%; Pipeline Increases to $64 Million

DENVER, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Med Technologies(R), Inc. ("Global Med" or the "Company") (BULLETIN BOARD: GLOB) , an international healthcare information technology company, today reported record revenues for both the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040226/GLOBALMEDLOGO)

Global Med's record revenues of $23.369 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 represent an increase of $7.290 million, or 45.3%, over the $16.079 million recorded for 2007. The Company's operating income for 2008 was $176 thousand compared to $1.887 million in 2007. The Company's net loss for 2008 was $419 thousand, or $0.01 per basic common share outstanding, versus net income of $1.978 million, or $0.08 per basic common share outstanding, in 2007.

Global Med's record revenues of $6.991 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 represent an increase of $2.694 million, or 62.7%, over the $4.297 million recorded for the comparable 2007 period. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company's operating loss was $664 thousand compared to operating income of $698 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company's net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $703 thousand, or $0.02 per basic common share outstanding, versus net income of $680 thousand, or $0.03 per basic common share outstanding, in the comparable 2007 period.

The Company's acquisitions of Inlog and eDonor were the primary drivers of revenue growth in the fourth quarter and full-year 2008, but they also drove the majority of Global Med's net loss for both periods. Their post-acquisition operating results did not exceed the associated increase in acquisition-related amortization, interest expense and certain non-recurring expenses. While the integration of Inlog and eDonor, along with opportunistic cross-selling has taken longer than expected, based on strong fourth quarter sales bookings and recent cost reduction measures, management continues to believe in the synergies of these acquisitions and in their ability to operate profitably.

Recurring annual maintenance revenues for the quarter were running at a record annualized rate of over $15.2 million. Based on the backlog as of December 31, 2008, the Company's annual recurring revenues, when all contracted customer sites are implemented, will be approximately $17.2 million, a 149% increase from 2007. The Company's backlog (signed contracts) of unrecognized software license fees and implementation fees was approximately $9.9 million, an increase of 86% from 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company's cash balance was $4.472 million, a decrease of $2.276 million over December 31, 2007, due primarily to cash payments for the Inlog and eDonor acquisitions.

2008 Business Developments and Announcements: -- The Inlog and eDonor acquisitions in 2008 transformed the Company from a mainly U.S.-based business to an international healthcare information technology company operating in 20 countries with over 2,100 sites. -- The Inlog acquisition added a European Laboratory Information System (that currently has 15% market share in France) and a cellular therapy tracking system to our product line. -- EdgeCell was introduced into the U.S., and eDonor and Donor Doc(TM) were introduced in Europe. -- Our professional sales and marketing teams deployed at both Inlog and eDonor booked approximately $5.0 million in new business since our acquisitions. -- Exclusive of recent acquisitions, annual new system sales increased 19% over 2007 and fourth quarter new system sales increased 30% over 2008's third quarter and 90% over 2007's fourth quarter. -- Our sales and marketing teams grew the consolidated sales pipeline to a record $64.4 million at year-end. -- The backlog of unrecognized software and implementation revenue increased to a record high of $9.9 million, an increase of 86% from the end of last year and up 43% from the end of the third quarter. -- The Company increased recurring maintenance revenues to $17.2 million, an increase of 149% from 2007 and up 7% from the third quarter of 2008. -- Cerner, one of the largest healthcare information technology companies, joined Global Med as a channel partner, to sell Global Med's donor and hospital transfusion center systems, both domestically and internationally. Cerner made several sales in 2008 and we expect a substantial increase in its sales in 2009. -- Global Med implemented significant cost savings measures, domestically and internationally, to help ensure our expected return to profitability in 2009.

Michael I. Ruxin, M.D., Chairman and CEO of Global Med Technologies, Inc., commenting on the year-end results, stated, "We have truly had an incredible year that was both transformational and transitional. It was transformational in that we became one of the world leaders in blood bank and hospital transfusion software, and we literally transformed the Company. It was transitional in that due to the nature of our two acquisitions and the state of the world's financial health, we aggressively adapted to changing economic conditions in order to better prepare the Company for future growth." Dr. Ruxin continued, "The Company does not need cash at this time. Our cash reserves are adequate to fund our continuing operations for the foreseeable future. Now that we are close to the final stages of integrating our acquisitions, we are definitely back on the path to being cash-flow positive and we expect to have a profitable 2009."

Thomas F. Marcinek, the Company's President and COO, stated, "Our management team is focused on the continued growth of our business and our return to profitability. We plan to achieve this goal as soon as possible by operationally meeting the requirements to move sales bookings to our financial statements and through our continued closing of the business opportunities in our expanded pipelines. These activities are in addition to our continued cost cutting measures and the efficiency gains of our business integration. As a result of our management team's work, we remain very excited for our business even as the world faces strong economic headwinds."

FutureIT Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2008 ResultsAnnual Revenues Increase 176% From 2007 and Quarterly Revenues Increase 19%

LOD, Israel, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FutureIT Inc. , a leading provider of software solutions for the automated and effective management of Microsoft SQL Servers, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and results are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $145,000 compared to fourth quarter 2007 revenues of $122,000. Total revenues increased by $408,000, or 176%, to $640,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $232,000 in 2007, Gross profit increased to $507,000, or 79% in 2008 compared with $69,000 , or 30% in 2007.

The company was successful in reducing its net loss to $1,214,000 in 2008, in comparison with the previous year's loss of $1,663,000.

"2008 was an exciting and challenging year for our company, and we have a lot to be proud of," said Shmuel Bachar, chairman and CEO of FutureIT. "The company showed extensive growth in 2008, in particular in the first two quarters of the year; but also felt the impact of the deteriorating global economy in the second half of the year. Deals became harder to close and growth slowed down relative to the previous two quarters. We have started 2009 with guarded optimism and are confident of our position within the SQL environment, despite market conditions remaining difficult. While continuing to encounter potential sales opportunities, securing deals is more challenging. We realistically understand the continuing impact of the state of the worldwide economy and expect that the second half of 2009 will be stronger than the first half."

"Our independent public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our consolidated financial statements that states that the consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and further states that our recurring losses from operations, stockholders' deficit and inability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future is dependent on our ability to raise additional financing, which we are seeking, and increase our sales to a level that will support our operations." concluded Mr. Bachar.

Fiona Rosenberg-Niddam, Director of International Sales and Marketing at FutureIT commented, "In face of the current economic downturn, more and more companies are looking to cut operating expenses, which opens up new opportunities for FutureIT. EZManage SQL dramatically reduces both the cost and the time associated with proactively managing SQL Servers 24/7 and has an immediate ROI. This allows us to expand even in the current climate as demonstrated by our recent establishment of new business partners in USA, Canada, UK, France and Sweden. In light of the above, FutureIT is optimistic it can weather the market's difficult conditions."

Auto Manufacturers Continue to Advertise SUVs Online Over More Fuel-Efficient Models, According to comScore Ad MetrixFord Motor Company Ranks as Top Automotive Advertiser Online Reaching one-third of U.S. Online Audience

RESTON, Va., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today released the results of a study of online automotive advertising, based on data from the comScore Ad Metrix service, including the debut release of data from comScore's new product-level dictionary.

Automotive advertisers delivered nearly 2 billion ad impressions and reached 120 million people, or 65 percent of the total Internet audience, in January 2009. This represents a decline of 43 percent in online ad impressions for the auto industry versus January 2008.

GMC Yukon the Most Advertised SUV Online, Chevy Malibu Tops among "Green" Models

As part of the study, comScore identified the most advertised SUV and Fuel Efficient/Hybrid vehicles using the new comScore Ad Metrix product dictionary, which allows an identification of online advertisements at the product level. Interestingly, the auto companies delivered nearly six times more display ads for SUVs (65.0 million) than Fuel-Efficient/Hybrid models (9.9 million) in January 2009. The most advertised SUV model online was the GMC Yukon, with 22 million ad impressions, followed by the KIA Borrego (10.3 million) and Toyota Sequoia (8.5 million).

Meanwhile, the top "green" model advertised online was the Chevy Malibu, which received 1.4 million ad impressions promoting its fuel-efficiency or hybrid model, followed by the Lexus LS Hybrid (1.2 million) and Lexus RX Hybrid (1.0 million).

"The collective online advertising strategy of automakers shows a low level of online advertising for their green models and higher levels for their heavier gas consumption vehicles," said Jeff Hackett, comScore senior vice president. "While SUVs may still drive a larger share of sales for the automakers, comScore research has shown that online is an effective brand-building medium and now might be a good time to begin shifting allocation of dollars and mindshare towards the models of the future."

CSC Positioned in 'Leaders' Quadrants of Desktop and Help Desk Outsourcing Reports

FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- CSC today announced that it has been positioned in the "leaders" quadrants of two Gartner reports, "Magic Quadrant for Desktop Outsourcing Services, North America," authored by Richard T. Matlus and William Maurer, and published on March 3, 2009; and "Magic Quadrant for Help Desk Outsourcing, North America," authored by Richard T. Matlus, William Maurer and Lilian Dutra, and published on March 4, 2009. The reports evaluate external service providers (ESPs) based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision.

"We are pleased to be included in the Leaders quadrant in these two reports, which we believe recognize CSC's understanding of evolving technology trends and ability to provide customers with high quality services during a shifting economy," said Russ Owen, president of CSC's Americas Commercial Group. "As we continue to invest in a wide range of innovative outsourcing services, such as our Virtual Desktop Services offerings brought to market with our partnerships with Citrix, Microsoft and Sun, we believe these positions confirm CSC's experience and industry leadership in both help desk and desktop services across the Americas."

The Market Overview section of the desktop report states the desktop outsourcing services market is a mature service offering with a 2008 compound annual growth rate of 4.2 percent in North America and 5.1 percent worldwide. The same section of the help desk report states that the help desk management service market will grow at a 4.9 percent compound annual growth rate, from $9 billion in 2006 to $11.5 billion in 2011.

Gartner determines the positioning of service providers within the Magic Quadrant based on formal presentations by participating vendors, client reference checks, and analyst knowledge of the market and enterprise wants and needs. ESPs were required to have at least $45 million in annual desktop services revenue to qualify for the desktop outsourcing report and at least $15 million in annual help desk service revenue to qualify for the help desk outsourcing report.

Sikorsky Aircraft Delivers 100th New Production UH-60M BLACK HAWK Helicopter to U.S. Army

STRATFORD, Conn., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a rollout ceremony attended by government officials, armed services personnel, and employees, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. today celebrated delivery of the 100th new production UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter to the U.S. Army. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. .

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060403/SIKORSKYLOGO )

With a new airframe, avionics and propulsion system, the UH-60M helicopter is the latest and most modern in a series of BLACK HAWK variants that Sikorsky has been delivering to the Army without interruption since 1978.

"The UH-60M helicopter delivers great technology and a load of confidence based on Sikorsky's three decades of experience in designing, building and servicing the workhorse of the United States Army," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey P. Pino, a retired U.S. Army Master Aviator with 26 years of combined active, reserve and National Guard service. "I can talk about the aircraft's reduced pilot workload, increased lift, better protection and enhanced survivability, but nothing means more than when soldiers tell us how much they depend on and trust this helicopter."

Col. L. Neil Thurgood, Utility Helicopters Project Manager for the U.S. Army, noted an entire battalion of the aircraft has deployed to Afghanistan. "The UH-60M BLACK HAWK has been warmly received by our soldiers who appreciate its performance, durability and robust design," said Col. Thurgood, who spent time with employees in the Stratford plant, thanking them for the important part they play in America's defense.

The Army currently has more than 1,740 BLACK HAWK variants with more than 5.8 million combined flight hours in inventory, constituting the world's largest and most battle-tested BLACK HAWK fleet. The Army BLACK HAWK fleet will soon exceed more than 1 million hours of combat duty in the Iraq and Afghanistan war theaters since 2003.

"The BLACK HAWK is a great aircraft, the military's battlefield transport of choice," Pino said. "With the UH-60M helicopter, the Army and Sikorsky are building upon that tradition and ensuring that it will continue for generations to come."

The UH-60M helicopter's new composite spar wide-chord blade will provide 227 kg (500 lbs) more lift than the current UH-60L blade. The new General Electric T700-GE-701D engine will add more horsepower and allow additional lift during external lift (sling load) operations.

The UH-60M helicopter represents the Army's third standard baseline BLACK HAWK version in the 30-year production history of the program. Sikorsky delivered the UH-60A BLACK HAWK helicopters from 1978 until 1989, and delivered the UH-60L from 1989 until 2008. Not content with the status quo, Sikorsky is even now working on an upgrade to the UH-60M helicopter. The upgrade will feature fly-by-wire flight controls, full authority digital engine controllers, enhanced cockpit displays and a composite tail-cone. Brig. General Walter Davis, Director of Army Aviation, received a briefing on this effort.

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service. Its mission statement reflects the company's long commitment to safety and innovation: "We pioneer flight solutions that bring people home everywhere... every time(TM)." More information is available at the interactive http://www.sikorsky.com/ Web site.

United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

Telcos Need Better OSS Processes to Stem Revenue Losses, Report FindsEmploying better order-to-cash processes is necessary for telecom operators to avoid more revenue loss, says Light Reading's Software Services Insider

NEW YORK, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- As competition for business and consumer services intensifies, telecom operators need to implement more efficient order-to-cash processes to streamline time-to-market, billing, and service fulfillment or risk further revenue losses to more nimble competitors, according to the latest report from Light Reading's Services Software Insider (http://www.lightreading.com/servsoftware), a paid research service of TechWeb's Light Reading (http://www.lightreading.com/).

Order to Cash: How SOA Can Break Down Telco OSS Silos analyzes the scope of the order-to-cash process and how the need to sell a next generation of products is driving demand for a service oriented architecture (SOA)-based operation support system/business support system (OSS/BSS) architecture. The 33-page report looks at process and system areas that are challenging telco process architects as they try to consolidate and manage product data centrally and create a future-proof process that spans fulfillment and billing domains. This report also analyzes how vendors are responding to operator order-to-cash challenges.

For a list of companies analyzed in this report, http://img.lightreading.com/ssi/pdf/ssi0309companies.pdf

"With order fallout rates reaching 40 percent or more and time to market delays of three to six months as they struggle to integrate new products with billing and fulfillment systems, operators are targeting the order-to-cash process as ripe for transformation," says Caroline Chappell, research analyst with Light Reading's Services Software Insider and author of the report. "The need to support order-to-cash in a more flexible and standardized way across the business is leading the most advanced operators to adopt service-oriented architecture concepts and technologies."

SOA technologies are playing a large role in the order-to-cash solution; however, operators must ensure they are thinking of the future and not just the present time when implementing their fixes, Chappell states. "OSS/BSS vendors are re-engineering their products using SOA concepts and technologies, often to address the same integration problems that operators have faced," she says. "In the current economic climate, as operators go for 'quick fixes,' they should be careful that these do not play into the hands of vendors, creating more OSS/BSS silos that may make them less agile in the future."

Key findings of Order to Cash: How SOA Can Break Down Telco OSS Silos include:

-- Operators view the order-to-cash process as the proof point for an SOA approach to OSS/BSS transformation, but metrics are still needed to convince the wider market -- An SOA approach to order-to-cash can help speed up the ingestion and integration of third-party products as service providers expand their product portfolios -- The common product catalog is emerging as a big winner as the market moves toward a more consolidated, end-to-end approach to order-to-cash -- Operators in the TM Forum Blueprint Initiative will pressure vendors to align their products with emerging Blueprint business services

Order to Cash: How SOA Can Break Down Telco OSS Silos is available as part of an annual single-user subscription (six issues) to Light Reading's Services Software Insider, priced at $1,295. Individual reports are available for $900 (single-user license).

Wanderport Corporation Update and Stock Buyback Program

NEW YORK, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Technology holding company Wanderport Corp. (PINKSHEETS: WDRP) announced that the recent trip to China more specifically in the Province of Guangzhou, served to strengthen ties with manufacturers to allow for greater payment terms and reduced production and shipping cost, thus enabling LDI Technology to reduce its products prices. This trip to Asia was also an opportune time for management to meet these same manufacturers to discuss other possible product lines to be marketed and distributed and installed in the near future.

Concerning negotiations with the Panama City officials, LDI Technology reports that they are currently under way to receive approval by way of four purchase orders to update areas in the Panama Canal region as well as the city's highways, streets and other infrastructure projects with LDI Technology products.

Wanderport Corporation today also announces that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchasing program, which will be implemented from time to time and subject to market conditions. The repurchasing plan has been approved for up to 5,000,000 shares of Wanderport Corporation's outstanding common stock, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. This represents about (12.5%) of the float (40,000,000). Repurchases are authorized to begin on the second week of April 2009 following the release of LDI Technology's financial information concerning sales.

"Wanderport Corporation's direction has managed to turn around the company and entered the field of "green" energy with success already apparent," stated Barry Sommervail, WDRP's President. He then went on to state that "Wanderport's present share value presents an attractive investment and our intended program will better reflect the strength of our company."

LDI Technology is currently undergoing an "image" overhaul that will include a new company website and a new logo to signify the change in the direction from mainly focused on research and development towards an effort in increasing sales and notoriety in the industry. LDI Technology will be attending the 20th Edition of LightFair(TM) International 2009 tradeshow in New York in early May which is the largest lighting industry gathering and attracts some of the biggest names in the industry as well as thousands of lighting professionals and buyers.

LDI Technology is focused on developing and offering a long lasting, energy efficient product to brighten our planet's future.

As previously reported, WanderPort Corporation has purchased interests in an LED technology company whose R&D department have managed to develop a lighting technology far superior as to what is currently available on the market. Statistically, LED lighting tends to cut up to 80% of energy use and lasts much longer than regular incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. The lighting company intends to create a bulb that lasts up to ten years.

WanderPort Corp. has opened a temporary new website at http://www.wanderportcorporation.com/, which contains all company information as well as all updated contact information.

GameHouse and Mattel Take UNO(TM) Live on Facebook(R) PlatformNew Online Version Makes 'America's #1 Brand of Card Games' Even More Social

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- From the Game Developers Conference(R) in San Francisco, GameHouse(R), the casual games development studio of RealNetworks(R), Inc. , and Mattel, Inc. today announced the availability of UNO(TM) BETA on Facebook. This social game adaptation of America's number one card game was developed as part of Real and Mattel's exclusive multi-year agreement, following the release of SCRABBLE(R) Worldwide on Facebook Platform last year.

"Through our partnership with Real, we're able to bring popular brands like UNO to longstanding fans in a new way, while also reaching new players around the globe," said Cynthia Neiman, vice president of marketing for the Mattel Digital Network. "UNO for Facebook offers a new, interactive experience that people will love, combined with the addictive fun that's been attracting players to the game for nearly 40 years."

Since it was introduced by Mattel in 1971, more than 200 million UNO(R) games have been sold, in more than 80 countries. Launched by GameHouse just a few weeks ago, the UNO(TM) Facebook application is a digital adaptation of this popular card game that lets Facebook users around the world connect for a little friendly competition and fun. To date, GameHouse has served more than 250,000 games of UNO to players in 134 countries, with someone new trying their first game every 30 seconds.

In the game of UNO(TM), players use a deck of 112 playing cards featuring four different suits in four bright colors that include moves like "Draw Two," "Skip" or "Draw Four Wild." These simple commands can move a player to the top of the winner's circle or to the bottom of the deck. In the Facebook application, four players compete to be the first to use up all the cards in their hands. Points are won based on the cards left in all your opponents' hands, and every player has a best round score that they constantly strive to beat. While the Facebook application tracks player progress over time and names a winner after each round, in the original card game players compete in back to back games to be the first to reach 500 points and claim victory.

"Who doesn't have fond memories of playing UNO?" asks Matt Turetzky, vice president of RealGames. "With the perfect balance of fun and simplicity, UNO has the essential ingredients of a great casual game, and we're excited to partner with Mattel in taking this family favorite to the social space for Facebook users."

RealGames is a leader in the casual games industry worldwide and develops games for multiple platforms, with a vertically integrated development, publishing, licensing, distribution and retail business.

Facebook users can find UNO(TM) on Facebook at http://apps.facebook.com/liveuno/. GameHouse's other offerings on Facebook include SCRABBLE(R) and TextTwist(R).

Syndication Re-Signs 'Adventure Web Productions,' Award Winning Marketing Firm; CEO Asked Board of Directors (BOD) to Consider an Additional Rescission of 300 Million Common Shares

DAMASCUS, Md., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Syndication Inc. (Pink Sheets: SYNJ) is proud to announce that it has re-signed "Adventure Web Productions," a Baltimore, Maryland-based award-winning full-service custom marketing and software development firm to handle the product branding and marketing of Syndication, Pinnacle Energy and its Spinal Decompression Division. Adventure Web will develop the systems for an interactive communication platform designed to disseminate principal information to its vendors and public shareholders. The Company's website should be active within the next 2 weeks. The website was about to go active but was put on hold when the Company's equity financing evaporated in August of 2008 when the financial markets in the US and around the world melted down. "We're back on," says Brian Sorrentino, CEO of Syndication Inc. The site is expected to highlight Syndication Inc. (the parent Company) and Sy-Med Decompression. However, due to the sensitive nature of the developments currently under way, 'Pinnacle Energy' will be listed as 'Under Construction.' Further information from the Company acknowledged the action of the CEO who asked the BOD to consider an additional 300 million share rescission of the Company's common stock to Treasury. "We are involved in the process of Federal and State Funding, the issuance of a dividend, equity financing and taking on additional partners. The company needs to make room for a balanced capital expansion and my request of the BOD to rescind an additional 300 million shares is analogous with a responsible and comprehensive Company Capitalization Policy designed to increase equity valuation, enhance the potential for equity investment, discourage short trading activity and, most importantly, foster a longer term investor attitude," said Sorrentino. The Company indicates that additional announcements are pending.

Brian Sorrentino, the CEO of Syndication and Co-Leader of Maryland's 6th District for the Pickens Alternative Energy Plan, wants to remind our shareholders to help their Company promote its political presence in the alternative energy industry. Please register for the Pickens Plan Virtual March on Washington, scheduled this April 1st to 3rd. Register under the 6th district by using Syndication's address, (Box 503, Damascus, Maryland 20872), and help promote Syndication's political influence in the Alternative Energy Industry and with our Senators Barbra Mikulski, Ben Cardin, and Congressmen Roscoe Bartlett.

Bookham Launches SFF Transponder With Electronic Dispersion Compensation

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bookham, Inc. , a provider of optical components and modules to the telecom industry, has announced the launch of a 300 Pin Small Form Factor (SFF) transponder with Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC). The new product - TL9000M - will enable increased deployment flexibility and simplification of network design rules, delivering significant cost savings for network equipment manufacturers.

The 10Gb/s TL9000M combines the size and performance benefits of the existing Bookham SFF 300 Pin transponder with MLSD-based (maximum likelihood sequence detection) EDC to provide significant tolerance to chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and nonlinearities inherent in telecom networks. This will enable product deployment over a greater proportion of installed fiber routes, including those that will not currently support required spans of 80km at 10Gb/s without equalisation. The transponder will also eliminate the need for expensive pre-characterising of fiber paths for poor PMD performance.

"The inclusion of MLSD-based EDC into our small form factor transponder is a significant advancement that will allow network engineers to use this technology for all deployments," said Chris Clarke, VP Strategy and Chief Engineer Telecom Division at Bookham. "Our indium phosphide building blocks within the transponder allow the real estate to incorporate electronics that give our products a significant advantage in terms of performance. Combining this with the cost, size, and unrivalled power dissipation elements, Bookham will bring this technology from a niche application to potential industry-wide deployment."

The transponder incorporates the ClariPhy CL1012 clock and data recovery (CDR) integrated circuit (IC) with EDC. The IC utilizes MLSD technology in a low-cost, low-power CMOS process. The transponder is smaller than competing EDC-enabled offerings and offers lower power dissipation.

The existing Bookham TL9000, first launched in 2007, is significantly smaller than competing large form factor tunable 300pin transponders; the new transponder will retain this small form factor transponder footprint, enabled through the combination of the unique Bookham indium phosphide (InP) modulator technology and the ClariPhy low power dissipation single-chip EDC solution. The addition of this powerful transponder solution expands the Bookham portfolio of tunable devices, and maintains the company's leadership position in terms of performance and cost for SFF 300pin transponder development.

About Bookham

Bookham, Inc. is a leading provider of high performance optical products, spanning from components to advanced subsystems. The company designs and manufactures a broad range of solutions tailored for the telecommunications optical infrastructure and selected markets, including industrial, life sciences, semiconductor, and scientific.
