Revenues Up 98% for 2005 Flexible Solutions Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financials

VICTORIA, B.C., Mar 10, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Flexible Solutions International, Inc. (AMEX: FSI) (FRANKFURT: FXT) Today the company announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005. A CONFERENCE CALL is scheduled for 8:30 am Pacific Time, 11:30 Eastern Time, on Tuesday, March 14, 2006. CEO Dan O'Brien will be attending the call to answer questions. To participate in the conference call, please call our office (800 661 3560) for the dial in number.
Sales in the fourth quarter, of $1,519,591, were up 55% when compared to sales, of $981,012, in the corresponding period a year ago. The result was a net loss of $383,234, or $0.03 per basic weighted average share, in the fourth quarter, 2005 compared to a net loss of $525,305, or $0.04 per basic weighted average share, in the fourth quarter of 2004. Basic weighted average shares used in computing per share amounts for the quarters were 12,896,533 and 11,896,916 respectively.

Sales, for the full year of 2005, increased by 98% to $6,709,394, compared with $3,392,937 for full year 2004. The result was a net loss of $1,176,751, or $0.09 per basic weighted average share, in the 2005 period, reduced from a loss of $1,257,545, or $0.11 per basic weighted average share, in the full year 2004. Basic weighted average shares used in computing per share amounts for the twelve months were 12,541,084 and 11,827,734 respectively.

In comparing FSI's financials for '05 and '04, it must be noted that the NanoChem Solutions assets were not acquired until June of '04, thus affecting sales and cost of sales numbers. Higher world oil prices in '05, compared with '04, also had an impact on cost of goods sold and therefore, impacted profit margins for both fourth quarter and full year numbers. However, higher energy prices have also created greater demand for FSI's products. As a result of higher sustained oil prices, it can be expected that product prices to customers will also rise and profit margins will follow suit.

(NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to 50 million shares of its common stock at a price per share of $23. The number of shares proposed to be purchased in the offer represents approximately 19% of the Company's currently outstanding shares. The Company previously announced its intention to commence the tender offer on March 7, 2006.
The offer will remain open until 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on April 12, 2006, unless extended by the Company. Tenders of shares must be made on or prior to the expiration of the offer and may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the expiration of the offer.

The Company will pay for the shares purchased in the tender offer through a combination of debt financing and existing cash. The Company is also seeking to repurchase all of its existing 9% senior notes due 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $323.5 million through a concurrent cash tender offer and consent solicitation.

The offer is subject to certain terms and conditions that are described in the offer to purchase that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today and distributed to stockholders promptly, including that the Company obtains the debt financing on reasonably satisfactory terms on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer. Additionally, the Company may exercise its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of its outstanding common stock without extending the offer.

On the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, the Company's stockholders have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price of $23 per share, net in cash, without interest.

Maroone, a director of the Company and the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, who has advised the Company that he intends to tender approximately three million shares of common stock that he owns in the tender offer.

Allion Healthcare, Inc. Announces Intention to Restate Financial Statements for Interim Periods of 2005 Announces Financial Results of Fourth Quarter Exceeds Guidance with Reported Fourth Quarter 2005 Revenue of $37.8 million

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 9, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Allion Healthcare, Inc. ("Allion" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ALLI), a national provider of specialty pharmacy and disease management services focused on HIV/AIDS patients, today announced that it expects to restate its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The restatement will correct the omission of a non-cash interest expense (below the "operating income" line) relating to warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock that were issued to an outside director of the Company, in April 2005 in connection with the extension of a guarantee on the Company's West Bank credit facility. The Company previously disclosed the existence of the guarantee and the issuance of the warrants in its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, after discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP and consultation with management and the Board of Directors, the Company concluded that the Company's financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and nine-months ended September 30, 2005 should be restated. The Company expects that the restatement will result in a non- cash interest expense of approximately $700,000-$900,000 recorded only in the second quarter of 2005. This is a one-time charge to the income statement and does not affect the Company's operational results.
The Company's Board of Directors is currently conducting its review of these matters. As a result of the restatement discussed above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of management, are reviewing the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company expects that as a result of its review and the restatements described above, it will conclude that a material weakness, in its internal control over financial reporting, existed as of December 31, 2005.

Because these matters do not affect the Company's fourth quarter results or expectations regarding future operating results, the Company also announced its financial results for the fourth quarter 2005, and is providing guidance for 2006. The Company has elected to defer the release of its fiscal year 2005 financial information until it has finalized the amount of the charge required to be included in the second quarter financial results. The Company will work diligently to finalize its financial statements and, at this time, expects to timely file its Form 10-K.

Boston, Mar 13, 2006 (MidnightTrader via COMTEX) -- TOPT has moved off its early premarket high of 18.20, recording aggressive sell volume between 18 and 16.78. Buyers are lately attempting to hold a tentative floor surrounding 16.75.

bellwetherreport.com: The Bellwether Report notices the exciting potential surrounding TOP Tankers Inc

Mar 13, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Today the Bellwether Report has identified TOP Tankers Inc (Nasdaq: TOPT), a company that our analysts will be tracking over the ensuing weeks. They recently came out with a significant corporate development this month, causing a positive correction.

Earlier this morning TOP Tankers Inc reported that they had sold 13 vessels for $550 million. The net cash proceeds from this transaction, after repayment of corresponding vessel loans and other expenses, are expected to be approximately $240 million. The Company expects to generate a book gain of approximately $90 million, which will be amortized over the respective lease period. The leases of the vessels following their sale are expected to qualify as operating leases under U.S. GAAP.
"Evangelos J. Pistiolis, President and CEO of TOP Tankers Inc., commented: "Since our IPO in July 2004, we have committed to grow our company and create significant value for our shareholders. By entering into this transaction, we capitalize on prevailing high second hand tanker values, while maintaining full commercial and operational control of all our vessels.

With this announcement shares enjoyed a significant jolt as they traded up over 12.0% on the Nasdaq, on very strong volume. During the early hours of trading TOP Tankers hit a high of $16.36 after closing at $13.82 on Friday.

After this sale the Company declared a special dividend of $5.00 per share, payable on March 27, 2006 to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2006. The Company expects to declare an additional special dividend in the amount of $2.50. The declaration of that dividend is expected to be announced towards the end of March 2006.

Pinnacle Entertainment to Acquire Aztar Corporation for $38.00 Per Share in an All-Cash Transaction Total Transaction Value of Approximately $2.1 Billion Combination Creates One of the Most Diversified Companies in the Gaming Industry

LAS VEGAS and PHOENIX, March 13, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: PNK) and Aztar Corporation (NYSE: AZR) announced today that the Boards of Directors of both companies have unanimously approved, and the companies have entered into, a definitive merger agreement under which Pinnacle will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Aztar for $38.00 per share in cash. This represents a premium of approximately 24% over Aztar's closing stock price on March 10, 2006. The fully financed transaction is valued at approximately $2.1 billion, including approximately $1.45 billion of equity on a fully-diluted basis and approximately $723 million in indebtedness.
Together, Pinnacle and Aztar will have assets in most of the largest gaming markets in the U.S., with a strong presence in Nevada, New Jersey, Louisiana, Missouri and Indiana. Including current development projects, the combined company will have an expansive footprint with 12 major gaming properties in the U.S., and more than 8,800 hotel rooms and approximately 22,000 slot machines system-wide.

"Combining Pinnacle and Aztar makes tremendous sense," said Daniel R. Lee, Pinnacle's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This transaction will enable Pinnacle to further broaden and diversify its geographic presence and cash flows, as well as generate cross-marketing synergies. We intend to create a nationwide casino network, not unlike that of some of our larger competitors. We believe that we will be able to leverage the combined company's extensive network to increase customer loyalty across the system and attract additional customers to the company's destination resort/hotel properties in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

"Additionally, this combination will allow us to capitalize on the strength of Pinnacle's management team and our track record of developing large, successful projects," Mr. Lee continued. "Most notably, our combined financial strength and depth of management will allow us to develop Aztar's entire Tropicana Las Vegas site into a highly competitive, high-visibility Strip resort that can compete successfully with the newest projects currently underway. Pinnacle has a proven history of generating value for its shareholders, and we believe that this transaction positions the company to continue delivering strong results."

ATLANTA, Georgia, Mar 13, 2006 (PR Newswire Europe via COMTEX) -- First Prospective, Randomized Study Misses Endpoints but Shows Positive Treatment Effect; NMT to Incorporate Data From MIST Into Other Studies
NMT Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMTI), an advanced medical technology company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary implant technologies that allow interventional cardiologists to treat cardiac sources of migraine headaches, stroke and other potential brain attacks, today announced results of its MIST (Migraine Intervention with STARFlex(R) Technology) study at the American College of Cardiology's 55th Annual Scientific, Late-Breaking Clinical Trials Sessions.

Doctors Peter Wilmshurst and Andrew Dowson, co-primary investigators of MIST, jointly presented the results this morning. Dr. Wilmshurst is Consultant Cardiologist at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, Shrewsbury. Dr. Dowson is Director of the King's Headache Service, Kings College Hospital, London.

MIST, which was conducted in the United Kingdom, is the first prospective, randomized, double-blinded study to evaluate the effect of PFO (patent foramen ovale) closure on migraine headaches. NMT's proprietary PFO closure technology, STARFlex(R), was exclusively used in the study. A PFO is a common heart defect that is a risk factor for migraine headaches in some patients. The PFO allows venous blood, unfiltered and unmanaged by the lungs, to enter the arterial blood circulation. The unfiltered venous blood may contain elements that can trigger migraines in some patients.

The study, which screened 432 migraine with aura patients for a PFO, enrolled 147 patients into the study. A significant finding in the MIST study is that over 60% of those screened had a right to left shunt. A shunt is a heart defect, which allows blood to cross from the right to left chambers of the heart, bypassing the lungs. Of those patients, almost 40% had a moderate or large PFO, six times greater than the general population.

Dr. Wilmshurst said, "With no prior randomized, double blind study to draw from, MIST was designed and primary endpoints were selected based upon a review and analysis of several previously reported device observational and migraine drug studies. Consistent with what was reported in the observational studies, we selected a challenging primary endpoint of 40% elimination in migraine headache at six months in the treatment group.

Preliminary analysis of MIST data did not satisfy that endpoint, however, we are seeing a significant treatment effect and promising trend to support PFO closure with STARFlex(R) as a treatment option for certain types of migraine."

As reported today, MIST results indicated an approximate 37% reduction in migraine burden (number of headaches multiplied by the length, in hours of headache) in those patients who received a STARFlex(R) implant and a 17% reduction in those who received the sham procedure and no implant. This represents a statistically significant treatment effect. It also was reported that this variance appears to increase over time.

Andrew Dowson added, "For the first time we can see trends in a prospective study to suggest that PFO closure may be an effective way to treat certain types of migraine. A reduction in headache burden for a patient with severe migraine may allow that individual to gain more control and lead a more fulfilling and productive life. The key now will be establishing the criteria that will help to determine which patients should be referred to the interventional cardiologist for further treatment."

Dr. Wilmshurst added, "This study significantly increases our understanding of those patients who might benefit from cardiac intervention to treat these debilitating headaches. The results, arising from an unprecedented collaboration between cardiac and headache doctors, are a precursor to what we believe could be an exciting development in migraine treatment."

John E. Ahern, President and Chief Executive Officer of NMT, said, "Although we were disappointed that MIST did not satisfy its endpoints, the study was designed to help demonstrate clinical relevancy and not to obtain a specific regulatory approval. The study has provided us with significant data that we intend to incorporate into our MIST II and MIST III studies."

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Knapp behauptet - Konjunkturdaten belasten
Die US-Börsen dürften am am Dienstag nach schlechter als erwarteten Einzelhandelsdaten knapp behauptet in den Handel gehen. Der Umsatz im Einzelhandel fiel um 1,3 Prozent gegenüber dem Vormonat, Analysten hatten mit einem Rückgang von lediglich 0,8 Prozent gerechnet. Zudem sei das Leistungsbilanzdefizit im vierten Quartal höher ausgefallen als erwartet. Damit sei das Defizit 2005 auf einen Rekordwert von 804,9 Milliarden Dollar gestiegen, hieß es am Markt.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> fiel gegen 14.35 Uhr um 0,09 Prozent auf 1.294,60 Punkte. Am Montag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,20 Prozent auf 1.284,13 Zähler gewonnen. Der Dow Jones Industrial Average <INDU.IND> war mit 11.076,02 Punkten unverändert aus dem Handel gegangen. Der Future auf den NASDAQ 100 <NDX.X.IND> verlor 0,18 Prozent auf 1.670,50 Punkte. Der technologielastige Auswahlindex hatte am Vortag 0,34 Prozent auf 1.653,79 Punkte zugelegt.

Goldman Sachs <GS.NYS> <GOS.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) dürften mit Zahlen für das erste Quartal in den Fokus rücken und waren bereits vorbörslich stark gefragt. Die amerikanische Investmentbank hat Analysten zufolge im ersten Quartal die Schätzungen für den Gewinn je Aktie übertroffen. Nach 2,94 US-Dollar je Aktie vor einem Jahr erwirtschaftete Goldman im ersten Quartal einen bereinigten Gewinn je Aktie von 5,41 Dollar. Die Prognosespanne der Analysten reichte von 3,01 bis 3,65 Dollar.

Procter & Gamble <PG.NYS> <PRG.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) hatten hingegen bereits vor Börseneröffnung mit Verlusten zu kämpfen. Der US-Konsumgüterkonzern hatte am Montag nach Börsenschluss seine Umsatzziele konkretisiert und leicht gesenkt. Bislang wurde ein Zuwachs um fünf bis sieben Prozent erwartet, jetzt rechnet Procter&Gamble mit fünf bis sechs Prozent und liegt damit am unteren Ende der angegebenen Spanne.

Auch Umstufungen könnten für Bewegung bei Einzeltiteln sorgen. Merrill Lynch hat die Einschätzung für den Stahlhersteller United States Steel <X.NYS> <USX1.FSE> (Nachrichten) von "Neutral" auf "Buy" angehoben. Die Stahlpreise hätten sich besser als erwartet entwickelt, hieß es in einem Kommentar vom Dienstag.

Die Analysten von Bear Stearns hoben den Braukonzern Anheuser-Busch <BUD.NYS> von "Underperform" auf "Peer Perform". Die jüngsten Akquisitionen des Brauereibetreibers seien beeindruckend, hieß es in einem Kommentar von Dienstag. Auch beim Produktionsvolumen sei ein positiver Trend erkennbar. Die Titel sowie Aktien von U.S. Steel legten vorbörslich deutlich zu./dr/tw

Making Wavelengths

By Will Swarts
March 14, 2006
Harris Corp.
Share price as of Monday's close: $43.24
Share price now: $46.79
Percent change: 8.2%
Volume: 2.3 million shares, daily average 702,400

The News
When Uncle Sam called, Harris Corp. (HRS1) was ready for duty. Shares of the maker of specialty communications equipment climbed 8.2% on Tuesday, one day after Harris announced a $140 million contract to upgrade field radios for the U.S. Marine Corps. Continuing strong demand from the Defense Department prompted the Melbourne, Fla., company to project earnings of $2.45 to $2.55 a share for fiscal 2007, a 20% improvement over its profit estimates for fiscal 2006 (ending June 30).

Military radios are big business for Harris, generating about 25% of sales, says Marisa Thompson, an analyst with Chicago mutual-fund tracker Morningstar. Total revenues should hit $3.5 billion this fiscal year and between $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion in fiscal 2007 thanks in large part to the Pentagon's efforts to replace battle-worn gear.

"You see this going on through the whole defense market in radios, in Humvees and trucks as well," Thompson says. "A lot of equipment models weren't really updated after the Gulf War in 1991-92. There's a whole generation of products that need to be updated and replaced."

Management upstaged its own annual meeting with analysts, which kicked off Tuesday, to release the guidance. Chief Executive Howard Lance transmitted a relentlessly upbeat message.

"Over the last five years revenue has grown significantly at double-digit rates and organic growth has been solid throughout," Lance says. "We have gained market share and secured positions in key government programs, and have taken advantage of our unique ability to support our defense, government and commercial customers."

The U.S. military is the most obvious source of growth, and Lance says Harris would continue to seek business in international markets as well. Countries such as Pakistan, a reliable buyer of U.S weaponry and military equipment, would be ideal for expansion. Harris radios are currently used in 98 countries, and sales outside the U.S. account for nearly half the total, according to Thompson.

"We want to leverage our position as the tactical radio global standard," Lance says. "Many of these markets we believe are just approaching replacement cycles. What's more important is where the money's being spent. Secure communications and information technology and info processing, we believe, remain a high priority for governments."

The Marines ordered the company's Falcon II radios, which fetch between $25,000 and $50,000 apiece. Harris has positioned itself well to gain future orders, too, says Thompson. The Falcon III model, which works with current military technology, is also compatible with next-generation systems.

"These are not your Tonka toy radios," she says.
The Analysis
The increased guidance struck a positive note with investors, though analysts held differing opinions on the durability of Harris's growth prospects.

Stephen Ferranti, an analyst with Stephens, a Little Rock, Ark., investment bank, says U.S. and international armed forces demand should carry through next year. He puts fiscal 2007 sales at $3.9 billion, the high end of the company's forecast.

"Harris's current management team has done an excellent job in recent years of setting challenging yet achievable guidance and raising guidance during the year as opportunities convert into contract wins," Ferranti wrote in a research note published Tuesday.

The heady performance of the RF Communications division, which sells the military radios, will be tempered a bit by Harris's services business, says Morningstar's Thompson. Servicing, which yields margins between 10% and 12%, accounts for half of total revenues. The RF division had "stellar" margins of 34% for the latest quarter, she says.

"People are probably running further with this than the intrinsic valuation probably justifies," says Thompson. "The stock is still overvalued at $47 a share."

In a research note published Tuesday, she set a fair-value estimate of $42 a share. While radio sales will increase at a five-year annual rate of 37%, overall margins will start to tail off a bit, dropping from a projected 13% in 2008 to 12% in 2010. Of course, budget cuts could always scramble an otherwise clear signal.

The Bottom Line
It's hard to argue with Morningstar's sales growth estimates of 16% a year over the next five years, and Stephens' Ferranti thinks a backlog of orders that should carry over into fiscal 2007 will provide "a nice level for continued growth."

Longer-term investors should keep an eye not only on defense budgets and allocations for communications upgrades, but also on how Harris's equipment fits into those plans.

Military purchasing decisions are based not only on what equipment shows the most promise but also on what works right now. In her research note, Thompson points out that the government vision of the next generation of military communications equipment, known as the Joint Tactical Radio System, has met with glitches and setbacks. The Harris radios are filling a temporary, albeit extended, void.

"What happened was that Harris did a good job of driving this through the product pipeline, and the government said, 'We can't wring our hands any longer. We need to act and we need to have this,'" Thompson says. "It's a bridge solution, but the reason it's been outstripping expectations is that it's becoming a larger bridge than it was originally intended to be, and that's fine with Harris."

8x8 Partners with Legerity to Offer Turnkey, Phone-Ready PC Solution Fast Time-to-Market Solution Allows PC OEMs to Build VoIP-Enabled PC Platforms

SAN JOSE, Calif., 2006 SPRING VON SHOW, March 15, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- 8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT), the Packet8 broadband VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and videophone communications service provider, today announced that it has partnered with chip maker Legerity, Inc., the "V" in VoIP, to develop a turnkey Phone-Ready PC solution for PC OEMs. The solution enables PC vendors to bundle Packet8 voice and video Internet phone services with new platforms that offer simplified VoIP communications and enhanced audio and video collaboration.
The Phone-Ready PC simplifies deployment of VoIP services by allowing customers to plug their existing analog phone into a pre-configured PC and immediately begin using an Internet phone service. The 8x8/Legerity turnkey solution incorporates Packet8 VoIP service with a Legerity PCI PhonePort(TM) adapter card and Packet8 Softalk(TM), a SIP softphone developed in conjunction with CounterPath Solutions, Inc. for use with the Packet8 residential, video and Virtual Office Internet phone services.

"PC vendors will benefit from 8x8's turnkey solution," said Shoaib Mohammad, director of business development at Legerity. "The new Packet8 solution offers immediate time to market and design flexibility for PC vendors to start marketing bundled carrier-class VoIP service to consumers and businesses around the world."

Integrating best-in-class solutions from Legerity and CounterPath, the 8x8 turnkey offering is a standards-based, upward-migratable VoIP solution that delivers outstanding voice and video quality along with Packet8's advanced calling features. Residential and small business users who subscribe to Packet8 Softalk enjoy clear, delay-free audio, unparalleled call quality on PSTN calls and high resolution, full motion video. Business customers additionally benefit from access to the powerful Virtual Office hosted PBX service that delivers corporate class calling features via the Internet at a fraction of the cost of traditional business telecom alternatives.

"The Legerity-enabled Softalk solution gives PC vendors an opportunity to offer consumers and small businesses a very robust and easy to install Internet phone service," said Christopher Peters, 8x8 vice president of strategic alliances. "The capability for users to plug their regular telephone into a PC's built-in phone port and immediately begin using Packet8 service is an attractive selling point that PC vendors can capitalize on in their marketing efforts."

Earlier this month at the Intel Developer Forum, Legerity announced the availability of the PhonePort family of products. The first two members of the family are the PhonePort PCI and PhonePort HD voice interface devices. The Legerity PCI PhonePort adapter card design, which provides a complete carrier-class phone interface, uses the Le96136 device along with a Microsoft(R) WHQL certified driver to support Microsoft(R) Windows(R) VoIP-enabled applications. The PhonePort HD device provides phone connectivity for next-generation motherboards using the Intel(TM) High Definition Audio Interface. The Legerity PhonePort solutions also include a Call Control Applications Programming Interface (API), which provides a standard interface that abstracts the hardware layer for developers. The API was used to integrate the Softalk softphone software.

The CounterPath eyeBeam Video SIP softphone application features an intuitive and familiar interface with easy access to contacts and video via sliding drawers, a "Tree" menu for easy navigation and a small installer footprint [under 3MB].

"By integrating the eyeBeamVideo SIP softphone and the Legerity PhonePort PCI card, the Packet8 solution is not only more robust, reliable and secure than ever before, but enables customers to take advantage of the VoIP experience regardless of whether they are broadband gurus or accessing the internet for the first time," says Donovan Jones, vice president of sales and marketing of CounterPath. "This is exactly what VoIP is about -- creating an open standard environment where companies like 8x8, Legerity and CounterPath bring leading edge technology together and deliver real solutions to consumers and small businesses."

Demonstrations of Packet-8 VoIP-ready PC solution will be held in the Packet-8 booth # 1927 as well as Legerity booth #234 at the VON Spring tradeshow starting March 15, 2006, in San Jose, CA.

marketgainer.com: Issues Updates for OrthoLogic Corp

Mar 15, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Market Gainer is quickly emerging as the one stop shop for international small-cap investors looking to stay a step ahead of the markets. Today's activity on the Nasdaq exchange has brought OrthoLogic Corp (NASDAQ: OLGC) to the attention of our research team Our goal is to create a community of international investors who consistently and effectively capitalize on the enormous gains the small-cap Canadian and American exchanges offer.
Shares dropped over 50% today reaching a low of $2.61 as over 5.5 million in volume trades hands. Today's activity comes as OrthoLogic Corp. announces results of an analysis of topline data from its Phase 3 clinical trial of the novel synthetic peptide Chrysalin in unstable, displaced distal radius (wrist) fractures. Treatment with 10ug Chrysalin did not demonstrate a statistically significant benefit compared to placebo in the primary efficacy endpoint of time to removal of immobilization.

A secondary endpoint, radiographic evidence of time to radial cortical bridging, showed a statistically significant benefit for Chrysalin-treated subjects (p = 0.049). This benefit mirrored findings from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial that provided part of the foundation for the Phase 3 study. No difference was observed between Chrysalin treatment and placebo in the other secondary endpoints.

The trial met the pre-specified safety endpoint by demonstrating no significant difference in adverse event rates between the Chrysalin and placebo groups.

"We will be conducting a full examination of these results in order to guide our program going forward, including a planned interim analysis of results from the ongoing Phase 2b dose ranging trial of Chrysalin in distal radius fractures, which includes a 30ug dose," commented James M. Pusey, MD, President and CEO of OrthoLogic.

The Company expects to communicate results of its interim analysis during the third quarter of 2006.

Study Description

The study was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety of Chrysalin and its efficacy regarding the rate of healing in adult subjects with unstable and/or displaced distal radius fractures. Subjects were randomized to receive a single 1mL percutaneous injection of Chrysalin at 10 ug or placebo administered into the fracture site under fluoroscopic guidance. Five hundred three subjects were enrolled at 27 active centers in the United States.

Subjects were evaluated post-surgery at weeks 1-8, 10, 12, 26 and 52. The primary efficacy endpoint was time to removal of all immobilization, defined as the elapsed time between the date of fracture surgery and the first study visit at which the investigator, based on clinical and radiographic assessments of healing, removed all rigid immobilization hardware used to stabilize the fracture

Attention Sears Shoppers

By Will Swarts
March 15, 2006
Sears Holdings1
Share price as of Tuesday's close: $117.27
Share price now: $132.29
Percent change: 12.8%
Volume: 16.9 million shares, daily average 1.4 million

The News
Improving profits at Sears Holdings (SHLD2) drove shares up nearly 13% Wednesday, but questions were raised over the sustainability of the bottom-line momentum. Aggressive cost-cutting played a much greater role in the earnings gains than operational improvements.

The Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based company, formed by the merger of Sears Roebuck and Kmart a year ago, posted a per-share profit of $4.03 for its fourth quarter ended Jan. 28. That handily beat Wall Street's estimate of $3.62 and the year-earlier quarter's $3.09 a share. Total sales climbed 170% year over year, though last year's results factored in only the 1,479-store Kmart chain. Sears has an additional 2,400 locations in the U.S. and Canada.

Same-store sales, a closely watched measure of a retailer's performance, fell 12.2% at the Sears chain, due to a significant drop in apparel sales and unsuccessful promotions during the holidays. The Kmart chain's same-store sales rose 0.9% for the fourth quarter, the first such gain since 2001.

The Analysis
Sears Holdings faces brutal competition from discounters Wal-Mart Stores (WMT3) and Target (TGT4), and it's also losing market share to the likes of Best Buy (BBY5) and J.C. Penney (JCP6). Better prices and more selection are luring shoppers to rivals. "Pound for pound, Sears can't compete with J.C. Penney on the apparel side, and will not be able to compete with Wal-Mart on pricing power," says Emanuel Weintraub, who heads Emanuel Weintraub Associates, a management consulting firm in Fort Lee, N.J.

The impact these competitors are having is evident in Sears's declining same-store sales, making Wednesday's stock move to the upside a head-scratcher for some. "This is an absolute dichotomy," says Weintraub. "You have a company that is losing market share and doesn't have a clear direction."

Sears Chairman Edward Lampert seems to be satisfying investors with his focus on profits. It doesn't hurt that Sears is sitting on acres of valuable commercial real estate that Lampert picked up on the cheap when he combined the struggling chains.

"He's done an incredible job of buying $100 worth of real estate for a dollar," says Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Manhattan-based Davidowitz & Associates, a national retail consulting firm.

But rising stock prices and falling same-store sales don't square up, Davidowitz says.

"On the operating side you've got to give him credit for cutting costs," he says. "But you have to give him credit for the fact that he's going out of business. There's no way he can sustain the comp-store sales drop that he's had it's impossible. You also can't sustain the cost-cutting. That tends to be a one- or two-time event."

In a letter to shareholders published on the company's web site on Wednesday, Lampert said same-store sales are "not always the best measure of a retailer's performance." He pointed instead to improved cash flow and a $1 billion stock buyback program aimed at boosting shareholder value. The company has already repurchased $600 million worth of Sears shares.

"This is not chump change," wrote Richard Hastings, senior retail sector analyst at Bernard Sands, a retail credit ratings agency in New York, in a research note published Wednesday. "The radical controls over spending also send a bunch of the operating profits directly to the bottom line and then back to the balance sheet in the form of cash, where the cash arsenal is starting to build up again, just like it did at Kmart 2003-2004. Management is not sending cash flow through all kinds of circuitous pathways: A lot of it is going almost directly from operating income and nonrecurring gains directly to the balance sheet."

The Bottom Line
What happens next is the key to the stock's trajectory. Lampert could spruce up the Sears chain and convert more Kmart stores to a Sears format. But large-scale spending runs the risk of crimping the bottom line.

Absent a remodeling and expansion push, Davidowitz, the retail consultant, says Sears's prospects look bleak. "They're building no new stores, doing no remodeling, and people are turning over faster than the inventory," he says. "The question is, is this a model for a sustainable business? I've never seen this model work and it won't work."

While Wal-Mart and Target continue to add stores at a brisk pace, Lampert's strategy for change involves testing new ideas at a small number of locations. That way, he wrote in his letter to shareholders, management can determine whether the idea should be rolled out companywide without risking too much capital.

"I view Sears Holdings as a $55 billion revenue, 350,000 person start-up and I continue to believe that we have the challenges, excitement, pace of change and opportunity for success that characterize a start-up," Lampert wrote. "We are not focused on sales or sales growth as an end in itself. Nor will we spend capital on stores simply because we have the capital available to invest or because everybody else does it."

A sudden glut of commercial real estate also diminishes the value of Sears's holdings, Davidowitz says. Toys 'R' Us unveiled plans in January to close 75 U.S. stores. Mervyn's announced last year that it would shutter 62 underperforming stores. Those moves added a lot of square footage to the market.

James Ragan, an analyst at Crowell Weedon & Co., a Los Angeles investment bank, says it's too soon to write off Lampert's efforts.

"They had a very strong cash flow performance in 2005, and from a sales and cash flow perspective, the stock is cheap," Ragan says. "I think Lampert has made it clear that they weren't focusing on comps in 2005. The belief was that both Kmart and Sears were generating sales at the expense of profit, and they had to cut lower-margin products. The gross margins indicate they're doing that."

Management has been tight-lipped about its next course of action. It might be the end of the line for substantial cost-cutting, and absent operational improvements that leaves many wondering where the profit growth will come from.

"I think he may look for something else to buy that's his thing," says Davidowitz of Lampert. "We need another act to this. It's going to become evident that the business can't be sustained at any decent level. I think Lampert is going to have to do something else to sustain the business. You can't keep getting earnings from cost cuts indefinitely."

NEW YORK, Mar 16, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (NYSE:BSC) today reported record earnings per share (diluted) of $3.54 for the first quarter ended February 28, 2006, up 34% from $2.64 per share for the first quarter of 2005. Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was a record $514 million, up 36% from $379 million for the first quarter of 2005. Net revenues were a record $2.2 billion for the 2006 first quarter, up 19% from $1.8 billion in the 2005 first quarter. The annualized return on common stockholders' equity was 20.1% for the first quarter of 2006 and 17.1% for the trailing 12-month period ended February 28, 2006.
" I am extremely pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of record net revenues, record net income and record earnings per share," said James E. Cayne, chairman and chief executive officer of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. " These results were driven by strong contributions from all of our businesses, and in particular we saw record revenues in the Institutional Equities, Fixed Income and Wealth Management areas. We are proud of this quarter's outstanding results and look forward to the rest of 2006."

A brief discussion of the firm's business segments follows:

CAPITAL MARKETS

Capital Markets net revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were a record $1.7 billion, up 20% from the first quarter ended February 28, 2005.

-- Institutional Equities net revenues were a record $488 million, up 56% from $313 million for the first quarter of 2005. Equity derivatives delivered a second consecutive record quarter on the strength of increased customer activity levels and market-share gains. International sales and trading revenues increased in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the year-ago quarter, and risk arbitrage net revenues rose reflecting improved market conditions and increased customer activity.

-- Fixed Income net revenues were a record $889 million, up 3% from $866 million in the year-ago quarter. The credit businesses were extremely strong, led by the credit derivatives and leveraged finance areas. Mortgage-related revenues increased from the prior year period, as origination volume remained high and customer demand increased. During the quarter, we ranked as the number one underwriter of U.S. Mortgage-backed securities.

-- Investment Banking net revenues were $297 million in the first quarter of 2006, up 36% from $217 million in the comparable prior-year period. Significantly higher U.S.-completed M&A volumes led to higher advisory, merger and acquisition-related revenues. Merchant banking related revenues also increased compared with the year-ago-period reflecting higher performance fees on merchant banking fund investments and increased principal gains.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Gut behauptet - Konjunkturdaten und Bear Stearns
Die US-Börsen dürften am Donnerstag gestützt von leicht besser als erwartet ausgefallenen Konjunkturdaten gut behauptet in den Handel starten. Die Kernrate der Verbraucherpreise ist lediglich um 0,1 Prozent gegenüber dem Vormonat gestiegen, erwartet wurde ein Anstieg um 0,2 Prozent. Allerdings seien die Zahl der Erstanträge auf Arbeitslosenhilfe entgegen der Erwartungen der Experten gestiegen.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> stieg gegen 14.40 Uhr um 0,18 Prozent auf 1.316,60 Punkte. Am Mittwoch hatte der marktbreite Index mit Plus 0,40 Prozent auf 1.308,90 Zähler erstmals seit Mai 2001 über die 1.300-Punkte-Marke gestiegen. Der Dow Jones <INDU.IND> war um 0,52 Prozent auf 11.209,77 Punkten gestiegen. Der Future auf den NASDAQ 100 <NDX.X.IND> gewann 0,20 Prozent auf 1.718,00 Punkte. Der technologielastige Auswahlindex hatte am Vortag 0,79 Prozent auf 1.694,46 Punkte zugelegt.

Im Mittelpunkt dürften nach Zahlen die US-Investmentbank Bear Stearns <BSC.NYS> <BST.FSE> (Nachrichten) stehen, vorbörslich war die Aktie bereits stark gefragt. Der Gewinn sei besser ausgefallen als erwartet, hieß es von Analysten. Diese hatten mit 2,95 Dollar je Aktie gerechnet, Bear Stearns verdiente im vergangenen Jahr allerdings 3,54 Dollar je Anteilsschein. Auch der Umsatz stieg um 19 Prozent auf ein Rekordniveau von 2,2 Milliarden Dollar, erwartet wurden lediglich 2,05 Milliarden Dollar.

Ford Motor <F.NYS> <FMC1.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) sollten nach einer Abstufung unter Druck stehen, vorbörslich gab die Aktie bereits deutlich nach. Die Analysten von JP Morgan hatten die Einschätzung für den US-Autokonzern von "Overweight" auf "Underweight" gesenkt. Insbesondere im hochprofitablen "Sports-Utility"-Geschäft verliere Ford an Boden, sagten die Analysten zur Begründung.

American International Group <AIG.NYS> <AIN.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) dürften mit Quartalszahlen in das Interesse der Anleger rücken. Von Thomson First Call befragte Analysten rechnen mit einem Gewinn von 24 Cents je Aktie für das vierte Quartal.

Altria Group <MO.NYS> <PHM7.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) sollten ebenfalls in Bewegung kommen. Der Tabak- und Nahrungsmittelkonzern wird im ersten Quartal eine Steuergutschrift von einer Milliarde Dollar erhalten. Diese Gutschrift werde in 2006 rund 960 Millionen Dollar zum Gewinn beisteuern, so das Unternehmen. Altria hob daraufhin die Gewinnschätzung je Aktie für das laufende Jahr von bislang 4,85 bis 4,95 Dollar auf 5,25 bis 5,35 Dollar./dr/tw

Pasta maker, Garmin add to market's gains

Mar 16, 2006 (The Kansas City Star - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Wednesday was a day of lows and highs for shares of some of Kansas City's public companies as markets posted gains on economic news.
Shares of American Italian Pasta Co. soared in after-hours trading as the troubled firm announced it had obtained a new $295 million, five-year credit agreement.

The pasta maker's shares, which were down 2 cents in regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange at $4.17, jumped $2.13, or 51.08 percent, to $6.30 in after-hours trading.

Similarly, Garmin Ltd. was up $1.70, or 2.26 percent, at $77 after shares reached a record high of $77.70, eclipsing the high of $76.70 on March 6.

Shares of the Olathe maker of devices utilizing Global Positioning System technology gained as Dougherty & Co. increased its target price for Garmin from $80 to $90. The firm maintained its "buy" recommendation for Garmin.

Shares of H&R Block Inc. fell to a 52-week low on news that New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is suing the company, accusing it of defrauding IRA customers.

Block shares fell as much as 10 percent Wednesday, sinking to a 52-week low of $19.80. Shares closed at $20.63, down $1.37, or 6.23 percent. Trading was heavy on the New York Stock Exchange at about 14.4 million shares. The three-month daily average is a little more than 1.7 million shares.

Block defended its Express IRA product, saying more than 500,000 Americans had benefited from the accounts.

Overall, positive economic news helped send the Standard & Poor's 500 index past 1,300 for the first time since May 2001.

The S&P 500 was up 5.54 points, or 0.43 percent, and closed at 1,303.02. The S&P had been fighting to get past 1,297 since November.

"From a technician's point of view, breaking through 1,300 was an important factor," Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equities strategist at Citigroup, told The Associated Press.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 58.43 points, or 0.52 percent, and closed at 11,209.77. The Nasdaq composite index gained 15.94 points, or 0.69 percent, and closed at 2,311.84.

Stocks climbed in choppy trading after the release of the New York Fed's Empire State index, which came in much stronger than expected, with the highest reading since July 2004. The survey, which measures conditions for New York state manufacturers, is a predictor of the Institute for Supply Management's national manufacturing survey. The index rose to 31.2 in March from 21.0 in February.

In other economic news, the Federal Reserve's beige book, a compilation of economic reports from the Fed's 12 district banks, said economic activity continued to expand in January and February. Most of the Fed district banks characterized the pace of expansion as "moderate or steady."

Separately, a national survey of import prices showed they had fallen 0.5 percent in February, while export prices were unchanged, indicating that inflation pressures are contained.

Meanwhile, the housing market continued to show signs it was cooling. The National Association of Home Builders index for sales of new single-family homes fell to 55 in March from 56 in February. When the index is over 50, it means the number of buyers who see "good" sales outnumber the number who see "poor" sales.

The Star's wire services contributed to this report.

CBRL Group Announces Strategic Initiatives Intended to Enhance Shareholder Value Comprehensive Restructuring Plan includes recapitalization and subsidiary divestiture; Plan Backed By $1.25 billion in committed financing

LEBANON, Tenn., Mar 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: CBRL) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a comprehensive plan of strategic initiatives for restructuring the Company with the goal of increasing shareholder value. The plan includes:
-- a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer common stock repurchase plan of up to $800 million;

-- fully committed senior financing of up to $1.25 billion by Wachovia Securities, a portion of which will be utilized to fund the tender offer; and

-- divestiture of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Logan's Roadhouse, Inc. ("Logan's"), the proceeds of which could be used to repurchase additional CBRL common stock, to reduce debt, and/or for other general corporate purposes.

"This plan resulted from the strategic review we began last autumn intended to improve the overall performance of the Company and to enhance value for our shareholders," said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Woodhouse. "We believe that these initiatives will deliver to our shareholders value formerly not fully recognized by the market.

"The plan provides balance between short term and long term investment goals for shareholders," Woodhouse added. "Those shareholders who have seen the value of their shares increase and who wish now to realize that value will have an opportunity to do so by participating in the modified Dutch Auction tender offer. At the same time, those shareholders who have longer-term goals of continued ownership can participate in the future performance of the Company, including the potential benefit from the reduced number of shares outstanding after the tender offer and the growth in value to be expected in future years as debt is paid down. Although the plan represents significant new indebtedness on the part of the Company, we believe that the cash flow from our Cracker Barrel Old Country Store ('Cracker Barrel') concept will continue to be strong and more than sufficient to service the debt and finance Cracker Barrel's continued expansion. Furthermore, the committed financing retains our substantial ownership of real estate, preserving continued underlying financial strength, stability and flexibility."

CBRL's financial advisor, Wachovia Securities, assisted in developing the restructuring plan and will arrange and lead a syndicate of banks and financial institutions that will provide the financing. Wachovia Securities will fully underwrite the $1.25 billion financing, and closing of the financing will be subject to negotiation of loan documentation and the satisfaction of customary conditions. The Company anticipates closing on the proposed $1.25 billion financing on or before May 15, 2006. It expects the financing will take the form of an $800 million conventional bank term loan, a $250 million bank revolving credit facility, and a $200 million delayed draw term loan, which could be used for a future refinancing of the Company's existing convertible debt. The modified Dutch Auction tender offer is expected to commence in April and terminate at or about the time of the closing of the financing.

The divestiture of Logan's is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 or during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and guidelines, the Company will cease reporting Logan's sales in its monthly sales update press releases.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss these transactions at 10:30 a.m. CST, Friday, March 17, 2006. The live broadcast of this conference call will be available to the public on-line at investorcalendar.com or cbrlgroup.com today beginning at 10:30 a.m. (CST). The on-line replay will follow immediately and continue for seven days.

Headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee, CBRL Group, Inc. presently operates 536 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store restaurants and gift shops located in 41 states and 133 company-operated and 24 franchised Logan's Roadhouse restaurants in 20 states.

RF Industries' Sales Increase 18% to a First Quarter Record $3,375,000; First Quarter Net Income Increases 29% to $265,000

SAN DIEGO, Mar 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RF Industries, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RFIL) today announced that sales for the first quarter ended January 31, 2006 increased 18% to a record $3,375,000, compared to $2,868,000 in the same quarter last year. Net income increased 29% to $265,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $206,000, or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.
"Sales of RF Coaxial and cable assembly products increased 13% to approximately $2,700,000, a good performance for our seasonally weakest quarter. Record first quarter sales also benefited from a 97% sales gain at Bioconnect and a 30% gain at Aviel," said Howard Hill, RFI's president.

Operating income for the quarter increased 22%, with lower general and administrative expenses compensating for reduced gross margins. The decline in gross margin to 46% of sales from 49% of sales in the same quarter last year was due to a change in product mix at RF Connector and higher sales of Bioconnect's and Aviel's typically lower margin products.

"We are particularly pleased with the improvement in first quarter operating income, as product price increases and cost controls to reduce general and administrative expenses were not yet fully in place until the second quarter commencing February 2006. With second quarter sales off to a good start, we anticipate that our efforts to improve RFI's profitability will contribute to earnings as we enter the seasonally strongest quarters of our fiscal year," said Hill.

At January 31, 2006, RFI reported cash and cash equivalents of $4,664,000, investments in available-for-sale securities of $1,022,000, working capital of $10,989,000, a 17 to 1 current ratio, no long-term debt and stockholders' equity of $11,717,000, or $3.70 per share.

RFI's RF Connectors division designs and distributes radio frequency (RF) coaxial connectors and cable assemblies used for Wi-Fi, PCS, radio, test instruments, computer networks and antenna devices. Aviel Electronics provides custom microwave, and RF Connector solutions to aerospace, OEM and Government agencies. Neulink designs and markets wireless digital data transmission products for industrial monitoring, wide area networks, GPS tracking and locations systems. RFI's Bioconnect operation designs, manufactures and distributes specialized electrical cabling and interconnect products to the medical monitoring market.

Cray Inc. Reports Selected, Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Financial Highlights Company to Delay Filing of Form 10-K Due to Review of Potential Non-Cash Adjustments of up to $3.3 Million to 2004 Financial Results Cray to Host Conferenc

SEATTLE, WA, Mar 17, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced that the Company's management, its audit committee and its auditors are reviewing an issue, identified by management, to determine if revenue recognized in 2004 under one of the Company's product development contracts was appropriately recorded. As a consequence, the Company has delayed filing its 2005 Form 10-K until this review is completed.
Although no resolution has been reached yet, the issue currently identified could reduce previously reported 2004 revenue and increase previously reported loss from operations and net loss by up to $3.3 million. There is no impact on the Company's cash or short-term investment position during 2004 or 2005. The identified issue represents approximately 2.2% of the Company's 2004 revenue, 2.3% of its 2004 loss from operations and 1.6% of its 2004 net loss and net loss per share. The issue does not affect the Company's financial results for any period prior to 2004. As currently understood, if an adjustment were required in 2004, the issue would not affect 2005 operating results.

The Company will file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to extend the filing date for its 2005 Form 10-K to March 31, 2006.

Cray also reported preliminary financial highlights for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2005. On a preliminary basis, total revenue for the fourth quarter 2005 was approximately $65 million, with a net loss for the quarter of about ($9 million) or ($0.10) per share. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported revenue of approximately $201 million and a net loss of about ($64 million) or ($0.73) per share.

Financial results for the fourth quarter included the following: a $4.9 million write-down for impairment of core technology, $2 million for restructuring and severance, partially off-set by a $2 million income tax benefit. Additionally, a contract delay associated with a co-funded research and development project negatively affected the quarter by about $2 million. The Company anticipates that the contract will be signed later this year.

Financial results for the fourth quarter also include just over $5 million of expense for depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock compensation expense.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter, excluding restructuring, severance and impairment, were about $18 million compared to $16 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $26 million in the second quarter of 2005. Fourth quarter operating expenses were higher sequentially primarily due to the research and development contract delay and the return to full employee pay following the temporary pay reductions instituted during the second half of 2005.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter improved to just over 24 percent compared to 18 percent in the previous quarter. Product margin improvements were driven primarily by increased manufacturing efficiencies and product mix, with the Cray XT3 making up over half of fourth quarter product revenue. Service margin improvements were driven primarily by a combination of expense reduction and a higher than usual mix of professional services.

Cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2005 were approximately $46 million, up sharply from $23 million reported in the third quarter of 2005. Accounts receivable, however, remained flat with the third quarter at $56 million. Inventory decreased sequentially to about $68 million from $95 million at the end of the third quarter due to product acceptances. To date, the Company has not drawn upon the credit facility put in place in the second quarter of 2005.

Net product bookings for the fourth quarter, though slightly below total product shipments, were quite strong, buoyed by a large order with the United Kingdom's AWE plc. The Company does not expect to recognize revenue from this contract until late 2006.

"Nine months ago we identified and began to act on the key financial and operating priorities we believed necessary to turn the Company around -- during the second half of the year, we began to see positive results," said Peter Ungaro, President and CEO of Cray. "We clearly improved operating results across our key financial measures, while at the same time, securing the majority of outstanding customer acceptances and increasing Cray's market share on a worldwide basis. In 2006, we plan to further advance the Company with continued focus on execution, sales growth and profitability. Though we certainly face many challenges, with the recently announced international wins and a strong outlook for domestic spending, we are off to a strong start."

Outlook

For 2006, Cray anticipates annual revenue will be higher than 2005 levels, likely growing between 5 and 15 percent. The Company expects that the second half of 2006 will be stronger than the first half, with the potential for 60% of product revenue being recognized in the fourth quarter. Cray expects second half 2006 operating income to be around break-even, now reflecting stock compensation expense. In addition, the Company expects to generate earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization as well as stock compensation and other income/expense items (adjusted EBITDA measure). Results are dependant upon a number of factors, including the timing of certain customer acceptances, government funding and the timing of product upgrades.

Originally developed by Maxam to provide an environmentally preferred alternative to the direct acid leaching method for gold extraction, Maxam's patent-pending extraction process was also found extremely effective at extracting precious metals, base metals and toxic elements contained in the bottom ash and fly-ash by-products of coal combustion. Maxam's selection of Xcentia Mining LLC and Xcentia Energy LLC as a partner in the mining and coal ash process commercialization is a critical step that capitalizes on the vast industry specific experience possessed by Xcentia's management team. The gold and mining sectors have performed extremely well in the last twelve months! This little known company could be the next discovered gem in this industry! MXAM just had excellent news out in a press release before today's opening bell announcing that Maxam and Xcentia companies expand patent applications! This could be great news for investors!

Immediately following the formation of the Maxam / Xcentia partnership, the original Maxam extraction process patent application was reworked and resubmitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, thereby bringing it current with the latest patent office documentation requirements. This first patent focuses on Maxam's original extraction process technology. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has accepted the revised application and patent issuance is pending.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Gut behauptet - Warten auf Bernanke
Die US-Börsen <INDU.IND> dürften am Montag gut behauptet in den Handel starten. Händler verwiesen auf positive Vorgaben der anderen Weltbörsen, die die Stimmung bei dünner Nachrichtenlage aufhellten. Investoren warteten auf eine Rede des neuen US-Nontenbankpräsidenten Ben Bernanke, von der sie sich in der Nacht Signale zur künftigen Zinspolitik der USA erhofften. Unterdessen sei die Agenda auf Unternehmens- und Konjunkturseite relativ dünn gefüllt. Oracle <ORCL.NAS> veröffentlicht nach Börsenschluss Quartalszahlen, zudem werden die Frühindikatoren Februar um 16.00 Uhr erwartet.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> gewann gegen 14.35 Uhr 0,17 Prozent auf 1.319,70 Punkte. Am Freitag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,15 Prozent auf 1.307,25 Zähler gewonnen. Der Future auf den NASDAQ 100 <NDX.X.IND> lag mit plus 0,35 Prozent bei 1.710,50 Punkten. Der technologielastige Auswahlindex war zum Wochenende um 0,39 Prozent auf 1.685,66 Zähler gestiegen.

Pfizer-Titel <PFE.NYS> stehen im Fokus. Reckitt Benckiser <RB..ISE> erwägt der britischen "Sunday Times" zufolge ein 6 Milliarden Pfund schweres Angebot für das Geschäft der Amerikaner mit verschreibungsfreien Arzneien (OTC). Die Briten hätten die Investmentbank Merrill Lynch als Berater für ein mögliches Angebot eingeschaltet. Die Hausbank Credit Suisse solle unterdessen die Finanzierung sichern. Der US-Pharmakonzern Pfizer hatte seine OTC-Sparte zur Disposition gestellt und hofft auf Angebote um 10 Milliarden Dollar. Das Reckitt-Benckiser-Angebot läge bei knapp 10,54 Milliarden Dollar.

Colgate-Palmolive <CL.NYS> sieht sich unterdessen "sehr, sehr aggressiv" nach Zukaufmöglichkeiten um, hatte zum Ende Präsident Ian Cook in der Vorwoche gesagt. Entsprechend gebe es weiter hohe Fusionsfantasie im Aktienmarkt, betonten Börsianer. Der Pfizer-Wettbewerber Merck & Co <MRK.NYS> <MCC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) dürfte unterdessen eine Kooperation mit Neuromed Pharmaceuticals für die Entwicklung von Schmerzmitteln bekannt geben, berichtet die "New York Times".

General Motors (GM) <GM.NYS> und der in einem Insolvenzverfahren stehende größte US-Autozulieferer Delphi Corporation <DPH.NYS> stehen kurz vor einer Einigung mit der Gewerkschaft der Automobilarbeiter UAW über Frühruhestandsanreize für zehntausende von Arbeitern. Dies hatte die US-Wirtschaftsagentur "Bloomberg" am Samstag berichtet. Eine Vereinbarung könne bald angekündigt werden. Damit käme man einen Schritt weiter, um einen angedrohten Streik bei Delphi zu vermeiden, der GM nach Analystenangaben in die Insolvenz treiben könnte. "Die Gespräche sind konstruktiv und es werden Fortschritte gemacht", erklärte ein Gewerkschaftssprecher Bloomberg. GM und Delphi nahmen keine Stellung.

Analystenstimmen könnten auch einige Einzelwerte bewegen: Die Analysten von Lehman Brothers haben die Einschätzung für Dell Computer <DELL.NAS> <DLCA.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) mit "Overweight" bestätigt. Das Kursziel liege weiterhin bei 36 US-Dollar, hieß es in einer Studie vom Montag. Die Gewinnschätzungen für 2006 wurden allerdings von bislang 1,78 Dollar je Aktie auf 1,56 Dollar reduziert./fat/ag

Schering-Plough and PTC Therapeutics Announce Collaboration for Development of PTC's Preclinical Hepatitis C Compounds

KENILWORTH, N.J., and SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., March 20, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Schering-Plough Corporation (NYSE: SGP) and PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (PTC) today announced that they have entered into an exclusive collaboration and licensing agreement for the development of PTC's preclinical compounds for the oral treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and other viral diseases. PTC's small molecules are designed to inhibit the HCV Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) mediated production of viral proteins. The IRES is highly conserved among all HCV genotypes and is required for the expression of all viral proteins involved in replication of the hepatitis C virus.
PTC identified the compounds in its HCV program through the company's proprietary Gene Expression Modulation by Small-molecules (GEMS) technology.

"The goal of this alliance is to develop new oral therapies to improve treatment for patients with hepatitis C, one of the most serious and common blood borne infections in the world," said Catherine D. Strader, Ph.D., executive vice president, discovery research, Schering-Plough Research Institute. "Schering-Plough is continuing its leadership in hepatitis C through internal research programs and strategic collaborations with innovative companies such as PTC, with a focus on developing targeted viral inhibitors," she said.

"We are delighted to enter into this collaboration with Schering-Plough, as our teams share a commitment to develop new HCV therapies that will benefit patients," said Stuart Peltz, president & CEO of PTC Therapeutics. "Schering-Plough's expertise in the research and development of antiviral therapies and its global hepatitis franchise affords PTC the opportunity to realize the full potential of our IRES inhibitors. This collaboration provides additional validation for the GEMS technology and nicely complements our strategy as we advance internally the development of our clinical programs."

Under the terms of the agreement, PTC and Schering-Plough will conduct a joint research program, and Schering-Plough will be responsible for development and commercialization efforts worldwide. Schering-Plough will make an upfront payment to PTC of $12 million and provide funding for PTC's research efforts.

Schering-Plough will receive exclusive worldwide commercialization rights for any approved products and pay PTC royalties on worldwide net sales.

PTC's proprietary Gene Expression Modulation by Small-molecules (GEMS) technology exploits the regulatory mechanisms found in the untranslated regions of messenger RNA for the identification of small molecule drugs that can treat diseases by selectively increasing or decreasing the expression of key proteins.

Chronic hepatitis C is estimated to affect more than 10 million people in major world markets, including in Canada, Europe and the United States. It is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and one of the most common reasons for liver transplant.

PTC Therapeutics is a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule drugs targeting post-transcriptional control mechanisms. Post-transcriptional control processes are the sequence of events in the cell that ultimately regulate the rate and timing of all protein production. PTC discovers and develops small-molecule drugs that alter these processes by selectively modulating how RNA is used to produce proteins. This approach enables PTC to advance its drug discovery programs rapidly from targets to preclinical and clinical drug candidates, building a pipeline across multiple therapeutic areas including genetic disorders, oncology and infectious diseases.

Genesis Equity Partners Acquires Interest in Chinese Pharmaceutical Company Popular Hypertension Drug Leads Array of Effective Medications

BOCA RATON, Fla., Mar 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Genesis Technology Group, Inc. (OTCBB: GTEC) announced that its subsidiary, Genesis Equity Partners, LLC, signed a contract with the Liang Fang Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., one of China's most respected and innovative drug development, medical device, and retail drug store enterprises.
Liang Fang reportedly grossed over $15.8 million in revenues, almost $ 2.6 million in net profits in 2005, plus net assets exceeding $ 7.5 million. For the past three fiscal years combined, Liang Fang's revenues exceeded a total of $ 31.2 million. Based on its first quarter sales for 2006, the Beijing-based manufacturer, which also has 10 retail outlets, forecasts an increase to over $20 million in revenues this year. Genesis Equity Partners will receive a significant equity position in Liang Fang and ongoing consulting fees for coordination and oversight of its U.S. business activities.

Among Liang Fang's best selling products, Valsartan Capsules are a medicine for primary hypertension or high blood pressure. Valsartan first came to market in America in 1996, known as Diovan. The Novartis AG version of the Diovan product generated almost 17 percent of that company's 2004 revenues from branded pharmaceuticals. Novartis predicted the drug might be its first to generate annual revenues of more than $5 billion.

Dr. Liu Zhongyi, CEO of Liang Fang, commented: "In July 2001, the National Drug Administration authorized Liang Fang for the production of Valsartan. With increased production and marketing, we believe that it should dominate the Chinese market, where over nine percent of the population suffers from high blood pressure.

"Valsartan is just one example of the important and successful array of drugs that Liang Fang has acquired or developed and marketed over the years. Liang Fang intends to become a global brand, although the market in China is large enough to sustain our growth rate at over 40% annually. We realize that Western marketing is often the key to such success, and we intend to capitalize on Genesis's expertise and network in China, Latin America, and the United States.

"We selected Genesis because of its long history of success and expertise in China. We carefully studied its GEP merger and acquisition program, and believe that Liang Fang can flourish globally. In our evaluation, we also reviewed the performance of another Genesis Chinese client, SunWin Neutraceuticals (OTCBB: SUWN), and we are confident that Liang Fang could exceed its success, as a U.S. publicly traded company," concluded Dr. Liu.

Dr. Shaohua Tan, the Genesis Director who negotiated the Liang Fang contract, added: "We are enthused to add Liang Fang to the list of GEP clients. This month, Messrs. Wolfson and Clinton joined me in inspecting the world-class Liang Fang manufacturing plant and two of its Beijing retail stores. The Company's management, facilities and obvious growth potential impressed us immensely.

"Last month, we announced that Gold Horse International became the newest member of our innovative merger and acquisition program. Its market sector, construction and real estate development, ranks among the most active in China. Now, with Liang Fang, we are entering the health care and pharmaceutical arena, perhaps the fastest growing industry worldwide."

Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled on Friday, May 19, 2006, at 1 o'clock P.M. at the China World Hotel in Beijing, China, located at No. 1 Jianguomenwai Avenue; telephone (8610) 6505-2266, facsimile (8610) 6505-0828, email cwh@shangri-la.com and website http://www.shangri-la.com.

WorldHeart Announces 2005 Financial Results 22% Year Over Year Revenue Growth; Important Product Development Milestones Achieved

OAKLAND, Calif., Mar 21, 2006 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- World Heart Corporation (Nasdaq: WHRT; TSX: WHT), a global technology leader in mechanical circulatory support systems, today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2005 financial results, including recent milestones and highlights from the year.
Summary Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded quarterly revenues of $3.63 million, which is an increase of approximately $0.65 million, or 22%, over revenues of $2.98 million in the 2004 fourth quarter and an increase of $1.48 million, or 69%, over revenues of $2.15 million in the third quarter of 2005. During the 2005 fourth quarter, WorldHeart recognized revenue on 41 Novacor(R) LVAS implant kits, compared with 34 implant kits during the last quarter in 2004 and kit sales of 23 and 22 in the second and third quarters of 2005, respectively. The net loss applicable to common shareholders, which included a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $17.2 million detailed below, was $22.0 million in the 2005 fourth quarter, compared with $6.3 million in the last quarter of 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, WorldHeart generated revenues of $11.65 million, which represents an increase of $2.07 million, or 22%, over the previous fiscal year. Both revenue recognized on implant kits and peripheral product sales increased in 2005. In addition, the average price per implant kit sold was higher in 2005.

The net loss applicable to common shareholders was $58.7 million, or $1.76 per share, for 2005, including significant non-cash charges of approximately $41.2 million due to: the $17.2 million goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter associated with the purchase of the Novacor Division of Edwards Lifesciences by WorldHeart in 2000, the $18.1 million write-off of in-process research and development costs associated with the MedQuest acquisition in the third quarter and a $5.9 million warrant exchange charge due to a reduction in the exercise price of certain warrants exercised during the third quarter. This compares with the net loss applicable to common shareholders of $26.1 million, or $1.70 per share, for 2004.

WorldHeart ended 2005 with cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million. The Company is actively exploring various financing alternatives, including equity financings and corporate collaborations. Management continues to control spending and manage its working capital to preserve cash, and has realigned resources toward development of its next-generation products.

Selling, general and administration expenses for 2005 were $ 12.04 million compared with $13.36 million for 2004 representing a decrease of $1.32 million, or 10%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $1.1 million in general and administrative expenses resulting mainly from cost savings associated with the consolidation of the Ottawa, Canada operations into the Oakland, California facility.

Research and development expenses for 2005 were $7.39 million compared with $5.84 million for 2004. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of MedQuest Products, Inc. completed in July 2005.

"WorldHeart's strategy is to provide the most reliable, long-term pulsatile and rotary VADs and services to the broadest patient population of worldwide heart failure patients," said Jal S. Jassawalla, WorldHeart's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have made great strides in product development by starting the feasibility clinical trial of the rotary VAD, accelerating development of the pulsatile Novacor II, increasing the number of clinical centers for Novacor LVAS and the increasing enrollment rate in the RELIANT trial. We continue to focus on the development of long-term VAD support, or Destination Therapy, which represents the most significant need and growth opportunity in our field."

Key Recent and 2005 Milestones

-- On March 8, 2006 the first human implant of the WorldHeart rotary VAD

was successfully completed at St. Luke's Hospital, Thessaloniki,

Greece. This marks the start of the European feasibility clinical

trial of WorldHeart's rotary VAD, which is expected to be completed in

2006. This advanced, next-generation VAD is the only bearingless,

fully magnetically levitated, implantable centrifugal rotary pump in

clinical trials. It is designed for the Destination Therapy market, as

well as the Bridge-to-Recovery and Bridge-to-Transplant markets. Its

design eliminates wear mechanisms within the VAD and is expected to

provide improved blood compatibility. A domestic clinical trial is

expected to begin by late 2006 or early 2007.

-- Five new clinical centers were added in the fourth quarter of 2005, for

a total of eight new centers in 2005. WorldHeart has now more than

doubled its implanting centers in North America in the last two years.

-- Twenty-one centers are now participating in the Novacor(R) LVAS RELIANT

trial. To date, 33 patients have been enrolled at 11 centers. The

rate of patient enrollment is increasing and is expected to accelerate

as new centers complete the requisite administrative and training

process. WorldHeart is pursuing options to broaden the currently

restrictive inclusion criteria for this trial, which could provide a

further increase in patient recruitment rates.

-- In July 2005, WorldHeart announced the successful first animal implant

of its Novacor II, next-generation pulsatile VAD, by Dr. Philip E.

Oyer, Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University School

of Medicine. The Novacor II LVAS builds on proven Novacor LVAS

technology.

A live webcast beginning at 11:00 a.m. EST (8:00 a.m. PST) this morning, will be hosted by Jal S. Jassawalla, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Richard Juelis, Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

STMicroelectronics Introduces Highly-Integrated Power Line Transceiver for Compact and Cost-Sensitive Command and Control Systems New Power Amplifier Combined with 'Stripped Down' Key Features from the State-of-the-Art ST7538 to Create a Smaller, Cos

GENEVA, March 21, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) today announced a new power line transceiver, the ST7540, strengthening ST's leadership in Narrowband Power Line Communications by broadening the company's current offering to include space constrained and cost-sensitive home and building automation applications and remote monitoring systems.
The ST7540 is a half duplex Binary-FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) transceiver designed for two-way network communication over power lines, with eight selectable carrier frequencies, covering CENELEC bands A, B and C, and 4 programmable baud rates from 600 to 4800 bps. Reduced in size and pin count, the new ST7540 maintains the field proven 'core' technology of the earlier ST7538, but without some accessory functions (such as zero crossing detection and the uncommitted operational amplifier).

Among its new capabilities, the device integrates a single ended Power Amplifier with accessible input and output lines that can be used with just a few external signal components as part of a tunable active filter for the transmission path, providing superior linear power performances and reducing the application's parts count and cost.

In addition to the 5V regulator found on the ST7538, a new on-chip 3.3V 50mA voltage regulator, intended for powering different types of external microcontrollers, provides greater design flexibility and further reduces costs.

Other new features include programmable header recognition and frame length count -- to increase efficiency and reduce power consumption by activating the external MCU only when a message with a specific header or frame length is detected -- and programmable output level freezing, to increase transmission stability in particularly noisy environments. The on- chip available-output-voltage and current loops always allow the transmission levels to be automatically and safely adapted to the line impedance

The ST7540 uses a much smaller and lower pin-count 28-pin package than the state-of the-art ST7538, which will continue to be the basis for highly specialized applications needing auxiliary functions and other features such as zero crossing detection.

The new transceiver enables the design of very compact home and building automation, such as easily integrating a complete PLC node in a socket or switch. It is also ideal for 'outdoor' applications, such as small street lighting controllers and cost-effective Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems. Its high level of integration, and in particular its new power amplifier topology, significantly reduces the overall BOM (Bill of Materials) cost of such products.

The ST7540 is available now in sample quantities, in the 28-pin HTSSOP28 exposed pad package. Volume pricing will be in the region of $5.00 in quantities of 1000 pieces.

Sonus Networks: Sonus Networks ranked #1 provider of voip solutions in Japan for 2005 Industry report reaffirms Sonus market share leadership position

Swindon, UK, Mar 22, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a leading supplier of service provider Voice Over IP (VoIP) infrastructure solutions, announced today that an industry report affirmed Sonus' leadership position in the Japanese market for service provider VoIP equipment for Q4 2005, as well as for the entire year 2005. According to a report issued by Synergy Research Group, for the full year 2005, Sonus led the market with a 36.1% market share position, more than double any other equipment provider. Sonus also accounted for approximately 76% of the high density gateway market and more than 61% of the total gateway market in 2005.
Sonus' success in Japan is driven by deployments with many of Japan's largest service providers, which are among the first major operators around the world to initiate large scale replacement of their legacy switching infrastructures and aggressively migrate to all-IP networks. The Company recently announced a multi-million dollar contract with KDDI, the 13th largest service provider in the world, according to Total Telecom's 2005 ranking of the world's 100 biggest telecom network operators (November 2005). The Company has also announced deployments with several of Japan's largest service providers including Fusion Communications, Jupiter Communications (J:COM), NTT, Softbank Broadband and WILLCOM, Inc.

"Japan has been a strategic focus for our Company, as the service providers in that region have been among the earliest and most aggressive to embrace VoIP as the foundation for next generation communications networks," said Hassan Ahmed, chairman and CEO, Sonus Networks. "Our early position in that critical market, coupled with the proven ability to deploy networks that can scale to meet the needs of the larger players, has propelled Sonus to the number #1 position in Japan."

"In 2005, the total market for VoIP solutions in Japan continued to grow, and Sonus continued to leverage its early leadership position to increase its foothold in this important country," said Jeremy Duke, President and CEO of Synergy Research Group. "Sonus' presence in Japan is unmatched by any other equipment provider and the company has succeeded in deploying some of the Japan's most advanced IP-based networks."

"This is a very exciting time in the development of the Japanese VoIP market, which is setting the pace for the migration to all-IP networks around the world," said Takayuki Oshima, Managing Director, Sonus Networks Japan. "Several of Japan's largest carriers have undertaken large scale replacements of legacy technology with more efficient, scalable, and robust solutions from Sonus Networks."

Blood Is Thinner Than Water

By Will Swarts
March 22, 2006
Bristol-Myers Squibb

Share price as of Tuesday's close: $22.83
Share price now: $25.24
Percent change: 10.6%
Volume: 48.4 million shares, daily average 8.7 million

The News
Investors' pulses quickened on news of a settlement involving Bristol-Myers Squibb's (BMY1) blood-thinning drug Plavix, its top seller. Shares of the pharmaceutical giant climbed 10.6% Wednesday after Bristol-Myers inked a tentative deal with Apotex, a Canadian drug maker that was challenging the validity of Plavix's patent protection. Sanofi-Aventis (SNY2), the European co-marketer of Plavix, a $6.2 billion-a-year drug, saw its stock rise nearly 10%.

Apotex went to court in a bid to gain permission to manufacture a generic version of Plavix which is used to treat patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes, before patent protection expires in 2011. That would've been a huge blow to Bristol and Sanofi, which garnered sales of $3.8 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, last year from the drug. Plavix, the No. 2 drug in the world behind Pfizer's (PFE3) Lipitor, accounted for nearly 20% of Bristol's 2005 revenues.

Under the settlement agreement, which still needs approval from the Federal Trade Commission, Apotex will drop its legal challenge in exchange for an exclusive license to sell a generic version of Plavix in the U.S. beginning eight months before the patent runs out. That should keep Bristol's Plavix revenues unchanged for the next five years and perhaps into 2012 if the company gets a six-month extension to study pediatric use, according to a research note written Wednesday by Robert Hazlett, an analyst at Atlanta investment bank Suntrust Robinson Humphrey. Other major pharmaceutical companies have reached similar licensing arrangements in the past couple of years.

The Analysis
Wall Street jumped in with both feet following word late Tuesday that Bristol cut a deal. The apparent end of overhanging litigation brought the stock back from purgatory, garnering an upgrade to Hold from Sell by Citibank's George Grofik and a boost to Equal Weight from Underweight by Jami Rubin at Morgan Stanley. Both wrote that investors had been apprehensive about the upcoming trial slated to start in June.

Analysts also suggested that Bristol had moved to the top of the list of takeover targets. The pharmaceutical industry is lurching toward another round of consolidation, pushed by high research and development costs for new blockbuster drugs.

But Bristol isn't out of the woods yet. Plavix still faces a patent challenge from Indian generic drug manufacturer Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (RDY4), which is waiting for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's marketing approval. In Bristol and Sanofi's joint statement on the Apotex settlement, they also said they were in talks with Dr. Reddy's but that, "The outcome of these discussions cannot be assured."

The FTC still needs to sign off on the Apotex deal, making sure it doesn't result in anticompetitive business practices. Regulatory opposition could clot up Bristol and Sanofi's attempt to sidestep the patent challenge. The two drug makers' statement acknowledged as much: "There is a significant risk that required antitrust clearance will not be obtained." Hazlett wrote that this agreement may receive closer scrutiny than other recently signed branded-generic agreements, and left his Neutral rating on the stock unchanged until the FTC makes a ruling.

Other Wall Street analysts were more optimistic than the careful language of the pharma giants' party-line disclaimer, noting that similar settlements have passed muster with the FTC. Rubin, at Morgan Stanley, wrote Wednesday that "we believe there is a greater than 60% chance that the deal goes through." Scott Henry, a pharmaceutical analyst at New York research firm Oppenheimer & Co., put the odds for FTC approval at "greater than 50%, but not 100%."

The Bottom Line
It's a line that propelled '90s rap group Public Enemy to stardom, but could well serve investors buying stock in drug companies: Don't believe the hype.

We've seen this story play out before: Overhanging litigation goes away and a pharma stock perks up initially and then retreats, making it a bad idea to buy on news of a patent or liability settlement. Wyeth (WYE5) put to bed a patent challenge to its antidepressant drug Effexor by Israeli generic drug maker Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA6) on Jan. 13, but its shares actually dropped 5.5% in the subsequent three weeks.

"Chasing pharma stocks has not been a successful investment strategy in the past, and chasing merger candidates has not been a successful strategy in the past," Henry says. "The buzz today has been that Bristol-Myers is the next takeover target, and it was the same with Wyeth. Every time one of these events happens the buzz is that these guys are a takeover candidate, and so far, they're all still independent. It doesn't mean it can't happen, and maybe it's still early in the game, but over time, the enthusiasm fades."

The fiercely competitive dynamics of the branded pharma sector might even relegate Plavix to the back seat despite its makers' patent victory. Last week, Eli Lilly (LLY7) and development partner Sankyo, a unit of Japanese conglomerate Daiichi Sankyo, said a clinical trial of prasugrel, a rival blood-thinning drug, showed it to be more effective than colpidogrel, the active ingredient in Plavix. Separately last week, another study8 showed that Plavix wasn't nearly as effective as previously thought and could even pose a danger to some patients.

US Financial Network: GlaxoSmithKline Begins Testing New Technology to Protect Patients against Counterfeit Medicine and CytoDyn Selects Network Solutions as Its Sole Provider of Internet Services

Mar 23, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- City of Industry, CA - Pharmaceuticals industry news provided by Financial News USA (OTC: FNWU) GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) has begun distributing a medicine tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as part of a pilot project to help protect patient safety. The tags will be placed on all bottles of Trizivir (an HIV medicine) distributed in the United States. When scanned at close range, the tags will help verify that the medicine bottle contains authentic Trizivir . Drug makers Schering-Plough Corp. (NYSE:SGP) and GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Wednesday that a new study shows that their impotence drug Levitra is effective in men taking high blood pressure medication. The companies studied 354 men who took high blood pressure medication, except alpha blockers, and suffered from impotence, and gave them either Levitra or a placebo. In the Levitra group, 83 percent of men got erections, compared with the 58 percent of men who got erections in the placebo group.
CytoDyn, Inc. (OTCBB: CYDY) has consolidated its Internet services by selecting Network Solutions as its sole provider. This was the reason for a 48-hour period during which the Company's updated web site was not fully available. "Low cost was definitely a factor in moving everything to Network Solutions," according to CEO Allen D. Allen. "However," Allen added, "our main incentive was to have the breadth of services available from Network Solutions as we expand our staff and begin to develop foreign markets." Shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY) and partner Sanofi-Aventis SA jumped Wednesday after the two drugmakers agreed to settle a patent challenge to the blood thinning drug Plavix. Plavix is Bristol-Myers' best-selling drug and some analysts believe the company could become a takeover target with the patent dispute now resolved. Some analysts upgraded the company's stock and their price targets.

US-Markt könnte uneinheitlich starten /Google vorb.+8%
Rund 20 Minuten vor Handelsbeginn in den USA präsentieren sich die Futures uneinheitlich. Während der NASDAQ-Future um 0,2 Prozent auf 1.694,50 Punkte steigt, gibt der S&P-Future um 0,1 Prozent auf 1.310,25 Punkte nach.

Für eine freundliche Stimmung unter den Technologiewerten könnte im Frühhandel die Meldung über die Aufnahme der Aktien des Internetsuchmaschinenbetreibers Google (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) in den US-Leitindex S&P 500 sorgen. Im vorbörslichen Handel legen Google um 8 Prozent auf 370 Dollar zu. Als potentieller belastender Faktor für den Gesamtmarkt ist jedoch wieder die Sorge über weitere Zinsanhebungen durch die US-Notenbank in Betracht zu ziehen. Zudem sehen sich die Anleger mit gemischt ausgefallenen US-Konjunkturdaten über die Auftragseingänge langlebiger Güter konfrontiert. Zwar stiegen diese im Februar um 2,6 Prozent, was über den Erwartungen eines Zuwachses von 1,5 Prozent liegt, doch stellte sich abzüglich des Transportsektors ein Minus von 1,3 Prozent ein. Hier lagen die Prognosen bei einem Plus von 1 Prozent. Um 16.00 Uhr werden die Neubauverkäufen für Februar bekannt gegeben. Volkswirte rechnen mit einem Minus von 2,7 Prozent.

Der Telekomausrüster Lucent Technologies führt mit dem französischen Konkurrenten Alcatel Verhandlungen über einen Zusammenschluss. Wie beide Unternehmen weiter mitteilten, befinden sich die Gespräche in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium. Dabei gehe es um eine Fusion unter Gleichen. Es sei jedoch nicht sicher ob die Gespräche im Zustandekommen einer Vereinbarung münden werden. Lucent Technologies schießen vorbörslich um 11,5 Prozent auf 3,15 Dollar nach oben.

Currently, Canex is producing approximately 1,080 boe/d of focused high netback, light oil and natural gas production. As part of the Plan of Arrangement, Canex will create a new publicly traded exploration company ("Exploreco") with approximately 105 boe/d of light oil production located in northwest Alberta. The existing Canex management team will manage the Exploreco.
CANEX PLAN

Under the terms of the Proposal, each issued and outstanding Canex share will be exchanged for 0.1003 of a Crescent Point trust unit and $0.5876 in cash. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, Canex shareholders will be entitled to receive 1.0 common share and one-third of a common share purchase warrant of Exploreco for each Canex share held.

The Plan requires the approval of the Canex shareholders along with customary regulatory, court and other approvals. An information circular outlining the Plan is expected to be mailed in late April, 2006. Canex will endeavor to have the shareholder's meeting relating to such approvals held on or about May 23, 2006. This will allow the Plan to be implemented on or before May 29, 2006, which will enable the shareholders of Canex who receive trust units pursuant to the Plan and who remain holders of trust units on May 29, 2006 to receive the May distribution of $0.20 per Crescent Point trust unit held payable June 15, 2006.

Based on the above exchange ratio, Crescent Point will issue an estimated 2.65 million trust units, pay approximately $15.5 million cash and assume approximately $12.3 million of net debt to acquire 975 boe/d of focused, high netback, light oil and natural gas producing assets located in the Trust's new core operating area of northwest Alberta.

Neue Bedrohung für GM

Es vergeht kein Tag, ohne dass General Motors Schlagzeilen machen würde. Das ist kein gutes Zeichen, zumal sich die Meldungen aus Detroit allzu oft widersprechen. Mal soll GMAC verkauft werden, mal findet sich kein Käufer bei allem Hin und Her scheint man wieder einmal das Kerngeschäft zu vernachlässigen. Analysten sehen bereits die nächste Gefahr auf den Autohersteller zurollen.

Was GM und dem Konkurrenten Ford erneut Umsatz und Gewin streitig machen dürfte, kommt wieder einmal aus Asien. Die dortigen Hersteller haben sich auf ihre Wurzeln besonnen und bringen eine neue Generation von preisgünstigen Kleinstwagen auf den Markt, die angesichts dauerhaft hoher Spritpreise reißenden Absatz finden fürften.

Die amerikanischen Hersteller haben dem nichts entgegen zu setzen, das heißt: fast nichts. General Motors hat den Chevrolet Aveo im Sortiment, der in Korea gebaut wird und dem man das auch ansieht. Der zumindest für amerikanische Verhältnisse kleine Hüpfer, der aber immer noch als Viertürer kommt, kostet in seiner billigsten Version ab 11 000 Dollar. Damit würde GM eigentlich nicht schlecht fahren, doch macht man wenig Werbung für den Kleinen und hat bisher gerade einmal 68 000 Stück verkauft.

Kein Wunder, denn die Konkurrenz bietet mehr. Der Aveo ist so schlicht, es ist fast ein Nutzfahrzeug, urteilt der Automobil-Analyst Ed Hellwig von Edmunds.com. Der Toyota Yaris hingegen fühlt sich wie ein Mittelklassewagen an. Man kommt sich darin gar nicht vor wie in einem billigen Modell.

Doch gerade in Amerika ist das Feeling für den Wagen wichtig. Schließlich fehlt dem Kunden weitgehend der Sinn für Umweltschutz, so dass ein niedriger Verbrauch allein noch nicht ausreicht, John und Jane Doe in die kleinste Klasse zu bekommen.

Die einzige Möglichkeit, in Amerika Kleinst- als Zweitwagen zu verkaufen, geht über Design und Komfort bei niedrigem Preis. Bei Edmunds.com ist man sich einig, dass GM nicht nur hinter Toyota, sondern auch hinter dem Suzuki Aerio, Hyundai Accent, Honda Fit und Nissan Versa zurück liegt. Der Aveo wird sich nicht durchsetzen können, wenn GM keine bessere Werbestrategie hat, so die Experten.

Dass es von alleine nicht läuft, meint auch Marc McCready von CarsDirect. Das Kleinstwagen-Segment wachse zwar weiter, aber nicht so stark, dass alle Hersteller kräftig mitverdienen könnten. Um bis zu 25 Prozent dürfte die Sparte im laufenden Jahr wachsen, wird geschätzt. Wenn GM davon profitieren will, sollte man sich dem Projekt Aveo & Co. rasch annehmen. Von Kostensenkungen und dem Teilverkauf obskurer Kreditsparten allein lebt der Konzern schließlich nicht.

The stock has been spiraling lower3 over the past year since peaking above $40 a share last spring.

SigmaTel, which not so long ago sold about half of all the chips used in MP3 players, announced late Wednesday that quarterly revenue will come in between $30 million and $35 million. That's sharply lower than previous guidance of $52 million to $60 million and analysts' consensus estimate of $54.5 million. Sales for the first quarter of 2005 were $99.3 million.

The company blamed the substantial shortfall on plummeting prices for NAND, a type of flash-memory chip used in consumer electronics, and delays in transition to its new 3600 chip set. As a result SigmaTel shuffled several managers, including naming Phil Pompa head of the portable systems group.

According to Chief Executive Ronald Edgerton, SigmaTel's struggles were driven by rapidly changing market conditions. There's significant inventory buildup, he said during a conference call late Wednesday, and NAND prices have dropped 48% since the beginning of the year.

"Regardless, our results are disappointing," Edgerton said. "Our customers, distributors and their respective customers are not willing to have high-cost player introductions or on shelves while many believe prices will continue to drop significantly."

SigmaTel didn't offer specific earnings estimates, but it said tax charges for foreign-earned income could pull quarterly profits down by as much as 50 cents a share. Wall Street analysts had expected a loss of nine cents a share before the warning. Craig Berger, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities, downgraded the stock to Sell from Hold and put SigmaTel's losses for the first quarter at 70 cents a share. The company earned 68 cents a year ago.

The Analysis
If SigmaTel's situation sounds bad, that's because it is, Berger wrote in a research note published Thursday. A cash crunch could come as soon as the third quarter, he said, adding "we do not think management sufficiently appreciates the magnitude of financial peril that the firm now faces given its likely continuing operating losses, its expected first-quarter cash balance of only $50 million and prospects for continued MP3 chip commoditization."

New chip development was one of SigmaTel's weak spots. The company hoped to have its 3600 chip set available to all customers by the end of last year, says Dave Donovan, director of investor relations. SigmaTel spent a lot of time customizing configurations for some major clients, and that delayed the product's wider release.

"We focused on that, maybe to the detriment of getting it out to the broader market," Donovan says. The company's latest software development kit, to be used for video-capable media players, was also delayed and should be ready before the end of June, he adds.

One of SigmaTel's problems is that the media-player market is evolving so fast. IPods now dominate the top end of the market, but Apple Computer (AAPL4) sources most of its chips from PortalPlayer (PLAY5). SigmaTel chips are used in the iPod Shuffle, among Apple's weakest-selling music players.

Adam Benjamin, an analyst with Jefferies & Co., says that's a big reason for SigmaTel's declining market share, now estimated at 37%. Portal Player has 20% of the world-wide market, and Actions, a Chinese manufacturer, commands 36%, according to iSuppli, an independent technology-research firm based in El Segundo, Calif.

"If you're not in Apple and Apple is taking share from those [lower-end] customers, then you're losing share too, as the provider of the silicon," Benjamin says. "This company is burning a lot of cash. It's a pretty rough story now."

The rest of the year will be equally rough for SigmaTel, he says. "We don't foresee a return to profitability until the fourth quarter at least," says Benjamin, who puts the full-year loss at 63 cents a share.

Wedbush Morgan's Berger has an even grimmer outlook. He projects a loss of $1.80 a share for 2006.

Benjamin points out that NAND flash chip prices continue to plummet, and many of SigmaTel's customers aren't ordering lower-end MP3 chips either. "Why buy them until you really need to?" he asks. "You can wait for both."

The Bottom Line
While the wider chip and semiconductor sector is headed for decline, according to a Feb. 23 report from ThinkEquity Partners, a San Francisco investment bank that downgraded the group, SigmaTel is well out in front.

Berger says he's done the math and doesn't much like what he sees.

"They went from having $119 million in cash exiting the year to $50 million now," he says. "That's a $70 million decline in a quarter, although $30 million of that was a stock buyback. They bought it at $13 a share, and it's at $8.50 now. That means they took $12 million and flushed it down the toilet and they're going to need that money."

SigmaTel has no debt, Berger says, which is a plus, but he thinks they could run out of cash by the end of 2006.

"We believe SigmaTel is in significant, possibly irreversible, financial peril," Berger wrote.

CBRL Group Announces Commencement of Tender Offer; Repurchase Plan Could Return Almost $800 Million to Shareholders

LEBANON, Tenn., Mar 31, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: CBRL) said today that it has commenced its previously announced modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to 16,750,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, subject to certain allowances for additional purchase. The price range for shares will be $42.00 to $46.00. The number of shares proposed to be purchased in the tender offer represents approximately 35% of the Company's currently outstanding shares. The Company previously announced on March 17, 2006 its intention to commence the tender offer. The tender offer will remain open until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 27, 2006, unless extended by the Company. Tenders of shares must be made on or prior to the expiration of the offer and may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the expiration of the offer.
In the tender offer, shareholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within the $42.00 to $46.00 price range. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering shareholders, CBRL will determine the lowest per share price within the range that will enable it to buy 16,750,000 shares, subject to certain allowances for additional purchase, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered. If shareholders holding in the aggregate more than 16,750,000 shares properly tender their shares at or below the determined price per share, CBRL will purchase shares tendered by such shareholders, at the determined price per share, on a pro rata basis, as specified in the offer to purchase relating to the tender offer that will be distributed to shareholders. Shareholders whose shares are purchased in the tender offer will be paid the determined price per share, net in cash, without interest, promptly following the expiration of the tender offer period, as it may be extended. CBRL will return all shares not purchased to the shareholders tendering such shares free of charge after the expiration of the tender offer, as it may be extended. The tender offer will not be contingent upon any minimum number of shares being tendered. The tender offer will be subject to a number of other terms and conditions, including the financing condition described below, as will be specified in the offer to purchase.

"The tender offer we are commencing today and previously announced on March 17, 2006 is consistent with the Company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value and reflects our confidence in the long-term future of CBRL," said Michael A. Woodhouse, Chairman, President and CEO of CBRL Group, Inc. "The tender offer represents an opportunity for the Company to deliver value to shareholders who elect to tender their shares, while at the same time increasing the proportional ownership of non-tendering shareholders in CBRL. We believe the Company possesses the financial strength to successfully complete the tender offer and the related borrowings without jeopardizing our future operational plans.

March 30 - New Century Cos. Projects Sharp Increases in Revenue, Profits

2005 Guidance Calls for 31% Rise in Sales, 29- to 30-Cent Swing in EPS; Revenue Seen Near Doubling in 2006, With EPS of $0.24 or Higher

New Century Companies, Inc. (OTCBB: NCNC), a leading manufacturer and re-manufacturer of machine tools, today offered revenue and earnings guidance for 2005 and 2006. Here are highlights of the forecast:

-- Sales of over $6 million in 2005, up 31% from 2004. -- EPS in 2005 of $0.04 to $0.05, up from a loss of ($0.25) in 2004. -- Gross profit of $2.9 million and EBITDA of $875,000 in 2005, up from losses in 2004. -- Projected revenues of $10-12 million in 2006, with EPS of $0.24 to $0.28.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the company projects revenue of $6.05 million, or 31% above the $4.61 million reported in 2004. Net income is expected to be approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per fully diluted share, compared to a loss of ($0.25) in 2004.

Two other measures of profitability, gross profit and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) are also expected to make significant swings from negative to positive. Gross profit in 2005 is now expected to be approximately $2.9 million, up from a loss of ($456,986) in 2004. EBITDA is projected at $875,000 for 2005, up from a negative ($1,786,429) in 2004.

For 2006, New Century expects revenue to range approximately from $10 million to $12 million, for a year-over-year increase of 65% to 98%. Earnings per fully diluted share are projected to range from $0.24 to $0.28.

The company attributes its rising sales and earnings to two major factors. One is the rising demand for machine tools, its core business, across a wide range of sectors including transportation, energy, defense and construction. The other is the growing market for sound-absorbing blocks produced by Quilite International. On March 7, 2005, New Century announced that it had secured financing through a private placement for funding the proposed acquisition of Quilite International.

As reported March 28, 2006, the company has received orders totaling $2.8 million since the beginning of 2006. $2.46 million of these are for six vertical turning centers (VTCs), including two for one customer. The other $350,000 is for Quilite modules to be used in sound absorbing walls. Earlier, New Century reported new orders totaling $1.23 million in December 2005.

"The order volume we have seen so far this year makes us confident that we can meet or exceed these newly announced projections, even though they represent a sharp rise in sales and profits," said New Century CEO David Duquette. "New Century, as a leader in re-manufacturing of VTCs and other machine tools, is in an ideal position to capitalize on the growth in transportation, energy, defense and other sectors of the American economy. Our new facility for manufacturing sound-wall modules from Quilite is a first step in creating a revenue stream that we expect to equal or exceed the machine-tool business over time. With the pending acquisition of Quilite International, we will incorporate the entire Quilite R&D and manufacturing operations into our own, and we expect to broaden the range of potential uses and customers for Quilite in the process."

SLS International Reports Fourth Quarter and 2005 Full Year Financial Results Fourth Quarter 2005 Revenues Increased 109% Year-Over-Year; 2005 Full Year Revenues Increased 97 % from 2004

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 3, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- SLS International (Amex: SLS), the leading provider of premium quality sound systems for professional (recording studio, concert, etc.), cinema and home entertainment markets, today announced its 2005 full year financial results for the period ended December 31, 2005.

2005 Financial and Operational Highlights:

- Revenue for the fourth quarter 2005 reached $1.1 million, an increase of

109% over the same period last year.

- Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 reached $4.0 million, an

increase of 97% over 2004.

- Launched Q Line Silver Surround Sound Home Theater System, co-developed

by Quincy Jones, distributed via a 100 store test market program at a

Fortune 50 retailer and also through SLS' own e-commerce site.

- Launched a new e-Commerce site, Buysls.com, currently selling the Q-Line

Silver Home Theater System direct to the consumer.

- Diversified distribution strategy through focused efforts on

establishing relationships with leading 'big box' retail outlets.

- Completed listing of SLS shares on American Stock Exchange.

- SLS Sound Systems were featured or installed at the JazzFest Heritage

Music Weekend, Museum of Modern Art, Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and

Museum, and high profile concert series.

- Signed promotion agreement with Mark Burnett Productions to have SLS

products featured on hit reality shows, including Rock Star:INXS and The

Apprentice.

- Opened new manufacturing facility and headquarters, expanding company's

infrastructure to support future growth.

John M. Gott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We have made significant inroads in 2005 to widen the reach of the SLS brand and better position ourselves to gain traction in the consumer market. Our strong year-over-year revenue growth is a clear reflection of our ability to bring the products to the marketplace that customers want and we continue to successfully execute on our strategy of leveraging the strength we have from our core professional and commercial markets to the consumer market. First, we continued to see steady growth from our core product lines for the professional and commercial markets with each of these product lines achieving more than 75% sales growth during 2005 and, in aggregate, accounting for 60% of overall 2005 sales. Second, we continued to make progress in the consumer market with new product introductions and enhanced branding and marketing initiatives. With the anticipated spring 2006 launch of our Q Line Gold Home Theater System in all of Best Buy's 600+ stores and the product line's debut on this season's finale of 'The Apprentice' in May, we expect to see further sales growth in our consumer products line this year. We are beginning to see this momentum take place as the backlog of orders has built up considerably through the end of March. This is an extremely positive sign for the remainder of 2006."

Fourth Quarter 2005 Financial Results

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, revenue increased to $1.1 million from $538,000 in the same quarter in 2004, an increase of 109% year-over-year, as a result of growing sales of new product lines and increased demand for the company's core Professional, Design and RLA product series.

In the fourth quarter 2005, the company recorded gross margin of 2% due to higher cost of sales that were the result of increased fixed costs associated with the new plant and implementation of systems that more accurately allocate those costs. For the fourth quarter of 2004, the company reported negative gross margin of (29)%. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter 2005 increased to approximately $4.0 million from $1.7 million in the fourth 2004, an increase of $2.3 million. Higher G&A expenses resulted primarily from increased advertising and promotional expenses totaling approximately $828,000 and $539,000 in year-end Sarbanes Oxley compliance and additional audit costs.

Net loss increased to $(4.0) million, or $(0.08) per share for the three month period ended December 31, 2005, compared with net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.05) per share for the same period last year.

2005 Financial Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, revenues grew 97% to $4.0 million from $2.0 million for 2004. The strong sales momentum came from the company's core Professional, Design and RLA products, which grew by more than 75% and accounted for 60% of total revenues for 2005. Sales of the company's Cinema Line, only introduced in late 2004, accounted for 17% of total revenues for 2005.

Gross profit margin for 2005 was 24% compared with 26% for 2004. General and administrative expenses for 2005 increased to $12.4 million from $9.2 million in 2004, with non-cash general and administrative expenses accounting for approximately $3.0 million and cash general and administrative expenses accounting for approximately $9.4 million. The increase resulted primarily from increased advertising and marketing expenses as well as increased costs to support the company's new facility and new management structure.

Other income amounted to $1.5 million for 2005 compared to $46,000 of other income for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2004. This primarily consisted of close to $1.5 million of other income from the valuation of D warrants that were issued as part of the Series C Preferred offering.

For the year-ended December 31, 2005, the company recorded net loss of $(10.0) million, or $(0.29) per share compared with net loss of $(8.6) million, or $(0.38) per share in the prior year.

As of December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $196,000 compared with $10.7 million as of December 31, 2004.

Steven Lamar, President, commented, "As we move to the next stage of SLS' development, our focus on better managing costs and developing lifestyle, iconic, "best in sound" products that are marketed and sold to consumers remains steadfast. I am confident that we have the technology and necessary business partnerships to deliver long-term growth and profitability to our expanding shareholder base."

2006 Outlook

John Gott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded, "We have an extremely solid product line in place for 2006 starting with the Q-Line Gold Home Theater System to be launched in the second quarter through Best Buy, which will begin carrying the product in all of their stores starting in late May. This will coincide with the product debut on 'The Apprentice' season finale and we expect both events to further drive interest in the Q-Line product line. In the third quarter of 2006 we plan to launch our newly developed ribbon noise canceling (RNC) headphones. In addition, we are in the process of developing products for additional segments of the consumer speaker markets, one of which we plan to launch in the fall. In 2006, we expect to continue to make progress on our long-term plan for growth and profitability, as we accelerate our marketing and branding efforts in 2006 and continue to increase customer demand for our consumer, commercial and professional products."

The company stated that in February 2006, it received approximately $4.0 million in gross proceeds from the completed sale of its headquarters, improving its cash position.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Freundlich - Übernahmen im Fokus
Die meisten US-amerikanischen Aktien werden am Montag zu Handelsbeginn freundlich erwartet. Im Fokus der Anleger stehe zunächst vor allem das Thema Übernahmen, hieß es von Händlern. Im Handelsverlauf könnten dann Konjunkturdaten auf Interesse stoßen, die eine Stimmungsverbesserung im verarbeitenden Gewerbe zeigen sollten.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> stieg gegen 14.40 Uhr 0,51 Prozent auf 1.310,00 Punkte. Am Freitag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,42 Prozent auf 1.294,82 Zähler verloren. Der Future auf den NASDAQ 100 <NDX.X.IND> verlor 0,57 Prozent auf 1.729,75 Punkte. Der technologielastige Auswahlindex hatte am Freitag um 0,29 Prozent auf 1.703,66 Zähler eingebüßt.

Aktien von General Motors (GM) <GM.NYS> <GMC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) präsentierten sich im vorbörslichen US-Handel sehr fest. Der angeschlagene Autobauer will die Mehrheit seiner gewinnbringenden Finanzsparte GMAC an ein Konsortium um den Investor Cerberus verkaufen. Beide Seiten hätten eine definitive Vereinbarung über den Verkauf von 51 Prozent getroffen, teilte der weltgrößte Autohersteller mit. Das Konsortium wird für den Anteil 14 Milliarden Dollar zahlen, wovon die ersten 10 Milliarden Dollar bei Geschäftsabschluss entrichtet werden und die restlichen 4 Milliarden über die nächsten drei Jahre fließen sollen.

Kursgewinne verbuchten vorbörslich auch Papiere von Lucent Technologies <LU.NYS> <LUC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs). Der französische Telekommunikationsausrüster Alcatel <PCGE.PSE> <CGE.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) hat sich mit seinem US-amerikanischen Mitbewerber definitiv auf einen Zusammenschluss beider Unternehmen geeinigt. Damit wollen beide Konzerne weltweit zur Nummer eins bei Telekom-Ausrüstern werden, hatten die Unternehmen am Sonntag mitgeteilt. Nach den Angaben soll Alcatel rund 60 Prozent des Kapitals und Lucent 40 Prozent des Kapitals der neuen Gesellschaft halten, deren Hauptsitz in Frankreich sein soll.

Eine weitere Übernahme steht im Casino-Sektor bevor: Aktien von Aztar <AZR.NYS> <ZTG.FSE> (Nachrichten) legten vorbörslich zu, nachdem der Casinobetreiber ein Übernahmeangebot des Konkurrenten Ameristar Casinos <ASCA.NAS> <AJB.FSE> (Nachrichten) in Höhe von 2,25 Milliarden Dollar (42 Dollar je Aktie) erhalten hatte.

Microsoft-Aktien profitierten laut Händlern vor Handelsbeginn von einem positiven Artikel. Das US-Anlegermagazin "Barron's" habe den weltgrößten Softwarekonzern aktuell als verlockendes Investment hervorgehoben, hieß es./ag/tw

Microsoft's High Definition Technology Takes Best-Selling Mouse to Next Level in Precision Performance Hardware Group Expands Award-Winning High Definition Line of Mice to Include More Affordable Models

REDMOND, Wash., April 4, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- In response to consumer demand for higher-performing peripherals at work or play, Microsoft Hardware is expanding its High Definition line of mouse products. Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) is relaunching its No 1 best-selling mouse(1), the Microsoft(R) Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse, to feature the company's proprietary High Definition technology. Rounding out the line expansion are two new desktop mice -- one optical and one laser. In keeping with Microsoft Hardware's commitment to offering its customers the best in performance and value, the line now includes a High Definition notebook and desktop mouse for less than $30 (U.S.).(2) Praised for responsiveness, precision and smoother tracking, Microsoft's High Definition line continues to raise the bar for mouse performance.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

"Since we launched our High Definition line just last September, we have sold over a million units," said Rusty Jeffress, general manager of the Hardware Group at Microsoft. "We design our proprietary chip technology to provide our customers with the best possible performance so they enjoy their computing experiences no matter where they are."

High Definition on the Go

For notebook users, the new Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 offers an upgraded version of the Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse, the No. 1 best-selling notebook mouse and overall best-selling mouse in the U.S. throughout 2005.1 Laptop users find themselves working in small spaces -- from the seat of an airplane to a cramped coffee shop -- where sometimes the only place to use their mouse is on a corner of the airplane tray or a small cafe table. With the updated High Definition technology, users will enjoy smooth and precise tracking regardless of the surface. In addition, this mouse has a smaller receiver than the previous version, which makes it more portable and easier to stow.

High Definition on the Desktop

For the desktop, the Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 features a five-button, ambidextrous design, a Magnifier button for real-time enlargement and editing of any section of the screen, and a Tilt Wheel that makes navigating and viewing detailed spreadsheets and documents even easier. The new Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 is an affordable high-performance mouse featuring High Definition Optical Technology, an ambidextrous design with silver accents and three buttons.

Microsoft's High Definition Technology

Microsoft's High Definition technology is two generations ahead of standard optical and laser mice and delivers unmatched advantages:(3)

-- Improved responsiveness. With 1,000 dots per inch, all Microsoft High

Definition mice deliver the right amount of responsiveness in relation

to hand movement, requiring less hand motion in small spaces such as

coffee tables or airplane trays.

-- Greater precision. Microsoft High Definition mice capture 6,000 frames

per second to accurately track hand movement and prevent stopping or

skipping, even when moving very quickly. The mice are equipped with a

state-of-the-art chip, developed by Microsoft, which requires less power

and maximizes efficiency, delivering an average of more than six months

of battery life for wireless mice.

-- Smoother tracking. Proprietary Microsoft Intelligent Tracking

System -- the brains of the tracking technology that reads the

information the sensor is relaying -- means smoother tracking without

interruptions or skipping, even over unique or uneven surfaces.

Pricing and Availability

Microsoft's Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 is currently available, Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 will be available by late April 2006, and Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 will be available in June 2006, for the following estimated retail prices:(2)

-- Wireless Laser Mouse 5000: $49.95 (U.S.)

-- Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000: $29.95 (U.S.)

-- Wireless Optical Mouse 2000: $29.95 (U.S.)

L-3 Communications to Provide Tactical Common Data Link for Apache Longbow

NEW YORK, Apr 05, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its Communication Systems-West (CS-West) division was selected by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control - Orlando to provide the Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL) Modems for incorporation into the Apache Longbow UAV TCDL Assembly (UTA).
The Longbow UTA lets aircrews see 50 km forward and remain out of harms way, able to deliver or call for fire power when needed. The Longbow TCDL modem is CS-West's smallest unit ever, is interoperable with all standard symmetric and asymmetric Common Data Link (CDL) waveforms and networking formats up to 45 Mbps, and operates in either relay or direct line of sight configurations. The terminals are direct physical replacements for the radar equipment in the Longbow Mast Mounted Assembly (MMA), delivering secure, real-time Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) communications in a form factor designed to simplify integration onto the Apache platform.

Integrating CS-West's implementation of the Government-standard CDL on the Apache Longbow creates interoperability with a broad range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including the U.S. Army's Extended Range/Multi-Purpose (ER/MP) and Shadow UAVs, the U.S. Navy Fire Scout and future CDL-compliant versions of the U.S. Air Force Predator. Operators on the TCDL-equipped Apache Longbow will be able to control UAVs using the same technologies CS-West demonstrated in the Hunter Standoff Killer Team (HSKT) and Airborne Manned/Unmanned System Technology (AMUST) programs. The terminal also can serve as a CDL down-link for disseminating high-resolution imagery from the Apache Longbow's on-board Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (MTADS/PNVS) to ground forces.

Discovery Labs Receives Second Approvable Letter From FDA for Surfaxin for RDS

WARRINGTON, Pa., Apr 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSCO) today announced that it has received a second Approvable Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Discovery's lead product candidate, Surfaxin(r) (lucinactant) for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Surfaxin is a precision-engineered, peptide-containing, synthetic surfactant that is designed to closely mimic the function of natural human lung surfactant and represents a potential alternative to animal-derived surfactants. Discovery will hold a conference call today at 8:45 AM EDT. The call in number is 866-332-5218.
The Approvable Letter is an official notification from the FDA and contains conditions that must be satisfied by Discovery prior to obtaining final U.S. marketing approval. Specifically, the FDA is requesting certain information primarily focused on the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the NDA. The information predominately involves the further tightening of active ingredient and drug product specifications and related controls. Consistent with previous review, the FDA does not have any clinical or statistical comments. Discovery is in the process of arranging a meeting with the FDA regarding conditions for final approval. The Company anticipates that this meeting will clarify timelines with respect to its response to the FDA.

This is the second Approvable Letter received by the Company from the FDA since the Company's NDA for Surfaxin was filed in April 2004. Our previously submitted responses to the first Approvable Letter were accepted by the FDA as a complete response in October 2005.

Robert J. Capetola, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery, commented, "Our top priority is to satisfy the FDA's requests as soon as possible, so that we can obtain final approval for this important life-saving therapy and make it available to the neonatal community. In light of today's news, we are analyzing all aspects of our business with an intention to conserve cash while remaining focused on developing our NICU franchise of Surfaxin and Aerosurf(tm)."

RDS is a life-threatening and costly breathing disorder that strikes tens of thousands of premature infants in the United States each year, with a global at-risk population in excess of 500,000 infants. Approximately 75,000 infants are treated with surfactants in the United States annually. Current surfactant treatment options are limited to animal-derived surfactants harvested from bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) sources.

Data from Discovery's pivotal, multinational SELECT study demonstrates that Surfaxin was significantly more effective in the prevention of RDS and improved survival and other outcomes versus comparator surfactants. The SELECT and STAR (a supportive Phase 3 study) trials, as well as a pooled Phase 3 analysis, have been presented at several international medical meetings and the results from the two studies were published in Pediatrics.

Discovery will hold a conference call today at 8:45 AM EDT to further discuss in greater detail the foregoing. The call in number is 866-332-5218. The international call in number is 706-679-3237. This audio webcast will be available to shareholders and interested parties through a live broadcast on the Internet at http://audioevent.mshow.com/295458/ and www.discoverylabs.com. It is recommended that participants log onto one of these sites at least 15 minutes prior to the call. The Internet broadcast will be available for up to 30 days after the call at both website addresses. The replay number to hear the conference call is 800-642-1687 or 706-645-9291. The passcode is 7560777.

About Discovery Labs

Discovery Laboratories, Inc. is a biotechnology company developing its proprietary surfactant technology as Surfactant Replacement Therapies (SRT) for respiratory diseases. Surfactants are produced naturally in the lungs and are essential for breathing. Discovery's technology produces a precision-engineered surfactant that is designed to closely mimic the essential properties of natural human lung surfactant. Discovery believes that through its technology, pulmonary surfactants have the potential, for the first time, to address respiratory diseases where there are few or no approved therapies available.

Discovery's SRT pipeline is initially focused on the most significant respiratory conditions prevalent in the neonatal intensive care unit. Discovery's lead product, Surfaxin(r), for the prevention of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants, has received an Approvable Letter from the FDA and is under review for approval in Europe by the EMEA. Surfaxin is also being developed for the prevention and treatment of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD, also known as Chronic Lung Disease) in premature infants. Discovery is preparing to conduct multiple Phase 2 pilot studies with Aerosurf, aerosolized SRT administered through nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), for the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure.

To address the various respiratory conditions affecting pediatric, young adult and adult patients in the critical care and other hospital settings, Discovery has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial to address Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in adults, and is developing aerosol formulations of SRT to address Acute Lung Injury (ALI), asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions.

Alcoa konnte als einer der Gewinner im Dow Jones deutlich um 2,49 % ansteigen. Hewlett Packard setzt die Rallye um 1,98 % fort, während International Paper einen Verlust von -1,60 % hinnehmen mußte.

The News
Turns out sex really does sell.

Shares of New Frontier Media (NOOF2) rose 12% Wednesday after the Boulder, Colo., distributor of adult-entertainment content inked a distribution pact with DirecTV Group (DTV3), the country's largest satellite provider. DirecTV will make available to its 15.1 million U.S. subscribers New Frontier's adult channels, the Erotic Network and the Erotic Network Clips. The agreement was revealed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

New Frontier's racy offerings are already carried on the Dish Network, the satellite TV unit of EchoStar Communications (DISH4), which has about 12 million subscribers. New Frontier said its content could debut on DirecTV as early as Thursday.

The DirecTV announcement was both long expected and something of a surprise, says Dennis McAlpine, president of independent research firm McAlpine Associates in Scarsdale, N.Y. New Frontier and DirecTV had been edging toward a distribution agreement before a 2003 deal in which Fox, the broadcast unit of News Corp. (NWS5), bought a 34% stake in the satellite provider. Wary of offending conservatives, McAlpine says Fox management backed away from the negotiations.

"This came out of the blue," says McAlpine. "I didn't expect this deal until the end of the year at the earliest."

New Frontier doesn't break out its satellite pay-per-view or video-on-demand sales figures, but the prospective revenue bump from DirecTV could add as much as 10 cents to yearly earnings per share, says William Block, president of WAB Capital, an independent small-cap and microcap equity research firm in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Eric Wold, who covers New Frontier for San Francisco investment bank Merriman Curhan Ford, is even more bullish. He sees the deal adding as much as 20 cents a share to New Frontier's bottom line without boosting costs to the company, since it already has the programming inventory.

New Frontier earned 48 cents a share in 2005 on revenues of $46 million. Before the DirecTV deal was consummated, analysts expected 2006 earnings to decline. Thomson First Call estimates called for a profit this year of 47 cents a share on sales of $47 million.

In the SEC filing, New Frontier said it was also in contract negotiations with another major broadcast customer, though it didn't name the company. New Frontier warned while its licensing fee may decline, the loss could be offset with a possible launch of another pay-per-view channel.

"Adult entertainment is a very popular commodity," says Block. "And it's just a gigantic market."

There are more than 100 million cable and satellite subscribers in the U.S., and satellite channels have a 28.5% market share, according to a 2005 media survey by New York investment bank Veronis Suhler. Americans spent $93.4 billion on cable and satellite TV in 2004, and direct satellite broadcasting spending saw 15% annual growth between 1999 and 2004. Satellite viewers are expected to spend $1.6 billion annually on pay-per-view movies and sporting events by 2009, the survey said.

The Analysis
Whether New Frontier can compete with Playboy Enterprises (PLA6), its gigantic and much better-known rival, remains to be seen. New Frontier management didn't return phone calls seeking comment, but Matthew Harrigan, an analyst at Janco Partners, a Denver investment bank, said competition shouldn't cause the famed Playboy bunny's ears to droop too much. Investors didn't seem convinced. Shares of Playboy traded nearly 3% lower on Wednesday.

There's plenty at stake. According to AVN, the leading trade journal of the U.S. porn industry, the total market for adult entertainment is $12.6 billion, of which $2.5 billion is derived from the Internet. Playboy's entertainment sales, including cable subscriptions, pay-per-view and Internet revenues, totaled $200 million last year. About $98.6 million of that was domestic broadcast revenues. According to Harrigan, Playboy doesn't disclose the specific sources whether the money comes from its Playboy Channel or its more sexually explicit offerings, sold under the Spice Network brand.

"[Adult content providers'] naughty bits the adult programming are incredibly commoditized," Harrigan says. "The margin is incredibly low. At one time, New Frontier had practically no margin on its hardcore video content. They were just trying to drive their web business."

Analysts say adult programming offers cable and satellite distributors their highest profit margins. At DirecTV, blocks of adult pay-per-view content cost between $5.99 and $14.99, depending on the duration and type of programming, while the Dish Network charges between $10.99 and $17.99. New Frontier's Erotic Network offerings cost $10.99 to $11.99. Adult-content peddlers get between 5% and 15% of viewers' money, while revenues from regular pay-per-view offerings are generally split equally with mainstream studios.

However, video-on-demand spending growth dropped to an estimated 55.6% last year from 123.9% in 2004, and the growth forecast for 2006 is 37%. Satellite television saw pay-per-view revenues of $1.2 billion in 2004, according to the Veronis Suhler survey. It estimated satellite-based pay-per-view spending for 2005 at $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion for this year. Though still positive, the growth rate is contracting.

But even if the market is getting a bit soft, hawking adult movies for home and hotel viewing isn't a bad business, especially if the oft-repeated statistic, cited most recently in a Los Angeles Times story last year, is true. The average viewing time for an adult pay-per-view movie is only seven minutes.

The Bottom Line
The demand for sexually explicit programming is going away, but that doesn't guarantee New Frontier's success on satellite TV or Playboy's for that matter.

"There's competition from other sources," says WAB Capital's Block. "Dish and Time Warner (TWX7) and other cable providers have all been able to get more favorable terms."

Janco's Harrigan concurs: "The cable operators and satellite providers have always been very good at making sure there were two adult companies on their systems that could claw at each other."

New Frontier's arrival on DirecTV, he says, won't dislodge Playboy. "I don't think this is anything that will have a huge detrimental affect on the stock," says Harrigan.

Besides, Block says the future of adult entertainment isn't TV but rather mobile content8 as in porn for cellphones and video iPods. The mobile market will see explosive growth, as it has abroad, once it catches on in the U.S.

"What's been very frustrating for [New Frontier] is that they have a very strong balance sheet and a lot of cash but haven't been able to find any significant uses for it," Block says. "I think one area for them is wireless, because video-on-demand has softened. They haven't talked about it very much but they certainly are developing alliances with a number of companies."

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Knapp behauptet - Merck-Schwäche belastet
Die US-amerikanischen Aktien werden am Donnerstag zu Handelsbeginn überwiegend knapp behauptet erwartet. Deutliche Verluste bei Merck & Co. im vorbörslichen Handel belasteten die Stimmung, hieß es von Händlern. Die Zahl der Erstanträge auf Arbeitslosenhilfe ist in der abgelaufenen Woche entgegen den Erwartungen von Experten gesunken.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> gab gegen 14.45 Uhr 0,08 Prozent auf 1.318,00 Punkte nach. Am Vortag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,43 Prozent auf 1.311,56 Zähler zugelegt. Der Future auf den NASDAQ 100 <NDX.X.IND> sank um 0,06 Prozent auf 1.746,25 Punkte. Der technologielastige Auswahlindex war am Mittwoch um 0,94 Prozent auf 1.732,74 Zähler vorgerückt.

Aktien von Merck & Co.<MRK.NYS> <MCC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) gerieten im vorbörslichen Handel deutlich unter Druck. Der amerikanische Pharmakonzern hatte vor Gericht einen zweiten Fall im Zusammenhang mit dem 2004 vom Markt genommenen Schmerzmittel Vioxx verloren. Die Jury in Atlantic City (Bundesstaat New Jersey) erkannte einem Kläger Schadenersatz zu. Die Behauptung eines zweiten Klägers, dass Vioxx zu seinem Herzanfall beigetragen habe, sei hingegen zurückgewiesen worden, hatte Merck am Mittwoch mitgeteilt.

3M Company <MMM.NYS> <MMM.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) legten dagegen vorbörslich zu. Der US-Mischonzern hatte seine Gewinn- und Umsatzprognose für das Ende März abgelaufene erste Quartal angehoben.

Ebenfalls fest präsentierten sich Aktien von Boston Scientific <BSX.NYS> <BSX.FSE> (Nachrichten). Der Hersteller von Medizintechnik hatte mit den US-Wettbewerbshütern der Federal Trade Commission (FTC) zu allen wesentlichen Punkten der Übernahme von Guidant <GDT.NYS> <GDT.FSE> (Nachrichten) Einigung erzielt. Zudem teilte Guidant mit, dass die Umsatzprognosen für das erste Quartal vermutlich übertroffen werden.

Wal-Mart-Aktien <WMT.NYS> <WMT.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) könnten ebenfalls im Blick stehen. Der weltgrößte Einzelhandelskonzern hat im März in den USA seinen vergleichbaren Umsatz um 1,4 Prozent gesteigert. Der Gesamtumsatz in der Berichtsperiode bis zum 31. März legte um 9,4 Prozent auf knapp 30,62 Milliarden Dollar zu, wie Wal-Mart am Donnerstag in Bentonville mitteilte. Für die April-Periode rechnet der Konzern wegen des Ostergeschäfts mit einem Anstieg beim vergleichbaren Umsatz um 4 bis 6 Prozent. Andere Einzelhändler wie Bed Bath and Beyond <BBBY.NAS> <BBY.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) und Costco Wholesale <COST.NAS> <CTO.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) sollten ebenfalls im Auge behalten werden.

Apple Computer <AAPL.NAS> <APC.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) weiteten vorbörslich die Vortagesgewinne aus. Der Computerkonzern hatte am Mittwoch die Anwendungssoftware Boot Camp veröffentlicht. Mit Hilfe von Boot Camp können Anwender das Betriebssystem Windows XP von Microsoft <MSFT.NAS> <MSF.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) auch auf Mac-Computern benutzen./ag/tw
