Intel and NDS to Collaborate on Protected WiMAX-Based TV Multicast; First Proven End-to-End Pay-TV Solution over WiMAX

LONDON & STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NDS Group plc (Nasdaq: NNDS) (Euronext Brussels:NNDS):
Highlights:

-- WiMAX service providers can bundle TV and video with their fixed offerings

-- Intel deployed pre-WiMAX trial system in its Swedish Wireless Competence Center in Kista

-- WiMAX technology based on Intel silicon working with NDS's secure VideoGuard(R) conditional access

-- WiMAX service providers able to generate additional revenue from delivery of valuable content to their subscribers

Intel Corporation and NDS Group plc, the leading provider of technology solutions for digital pay-TV, have today announced a trial system to demonstrate the TV and video services for fixed WiMAX technology.

Using the WiMAX IEEE 802.16-2004 standard and the soon to be ratified IEEE 802.16e, Intel and NDS will also collaborate on industry and market development activities. The companies will engage in demonstrations to service providers and the industry to show how WiMAX can offer more than broadband access with pay-TV services.

The pre-WiMAX implementation takes place at Intel's Wireless Competence Center (IWCC) in Kista, Sweden and demonstrates the first system to show WiMAX TV services including live TV, VOD and integrated electronic program guide (EPG) delivery to an Intel(R) Centrino(R) mobile technology based notebook over 802.16-2004 and 802.11. The current demonstration uses fixed pre-WiMAX equipment to deliver content to the customer premises equipment (CPE) and then WiFi to send content to the notebook. Companies intend to enhance the system to support 802.16e standard in the future and to make sure that security requirements protect the interests of content providers in an aim to demonstrate pay TV services delivery over mobile WiMAX to Intel based PDA and notebook devices.

NDS VideoGuard(R) conditional access protects the business and content of the service provider and:-

-- Prevents the valuable TV channel offering from being received by subscribers who have not paid for it.

-- Protects content delivery efficiently using content entitlements, authorizations and tier packaging.

-- Enables content purchasing scenarios (e.g. Pay-Per-View)

-- Supports Video-On-Demand by enabling secure content purchasing, protecting content delivery sessions, and enabling content business scenarios like DRM.

Hecla First Quarter 2006 Earnings Top $38 Million; 115% Increase in Gross Profit, 21% Decrease in Silver Cash Production Costs, 51% Increase in Gold Production; For the Period Ended March 31, 2006

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today reported first quarter net income of $38.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.03 per share, during the same period of 2005. Hecla's gross profit more than doubled from the same period a year ago, the average total cash cost per ounce of silver production decreased 21% and gold production increased 51% over the first quarter of 2005. First quarter net income is primarily attributable to a gain of $35.6 million, net of income taxes, on the sale of a stock investment and increased gross profit due to rising metals prices. Excluding the gain on sale of investments, Hecla's net income totaled $2.8 million, or $0.02 per common share, an improvement of $6.1 million over the first quarter of 2005.
Hecla's diversity of operations continues to deliver low-cost production and less risk. From its U.S.-based mines, Hecla continues to have extremely low silver production costs with first quarter production of 1.2 million ounces at an average total cash cost per ounce of $2.05. As a result, Hecla's estimated total average cash cost for silver in 2006 has been reduced to $2.25 per ounce. Gold production in the first quarter was over 42,000 ounces at an average total cash cost per ounce of $357, with a total average cash cost for the year expected in the range of $350-$375 per ounce of gold.

The price of silver averaged $9.69 per ounce, with an average realized price of gold of $558 per ounce during the first quarter. Hecla's President and Chief Executive Officer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr., said, "This is the start of a great year. We continue to be on track to show further operational improvements, and precious and base metals prices are now above those experienced during the first quarter and all of last year. The price of silver is in the range to really show profits while at the same time allowing significant investments in the future through exploration. Our mines are easily supplying the cash flow we need to fund this effort. Our exploration work on the Hugh Zone silver discovery in Mexico is getting more exciting as each exploration dollar is spent, and we're making good progress on the Hollister Development Block gold project, increasing the resource at Lucky Friday, further delineating the new West Gallagher zone at Greens Creek, and Venezuelan exploration is advancing targets at both La Camorra and Block B. Truly, Hecla has low-risk exploration potential as yet unrecognized by the market, as well as tremendously undervalued properties at these increased metals prices. Those factors, along with what we believe is a precious metals bull market with some legs on it, bodes well for our stock price."

FIRST QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS

-- Gross profit of $11.7 million, a 115% increase from the first quarter a year ago

-- Revenues of $39.8 million, a 63% increase from the first quarter a year ago

-- 1.2 million ounces of silver produced at an average total cash cost of $2.05 per ounce, a 21% decrease in production costs compared to the same period of 2005

-- 42,419 ounces of gold produced, a 51% quarter-on-quarter production increase, including production of 37,620 ounces from Venezuela at an average total cash cost of $357 per ounce

-- A 25% decrease in estimated silver total average cash cost for 2006 to $2.25 per ounce; estimate for total average cash cost per ounce of gold increased to a range of $350-$375

-- 38% increase in average silver price and 30% increase in average realized gold price compared to the first quarter 2005

-- The La Camorra mine reached its one-millionth ounce of production

-- Shares of Alamos Gold Inc. sold in January, generated a $35.6 million gain, net of income taxes, and $57 million in cash

-- Continued focus on exploration and pre-development, with increasing optimism toward the West Gallagher at Greens Creek in Alaska, the Hugh Zone discovery in Mexico and positive exploration drilling below the current resource at Lucky Friday in Idaho

Unisys CEO Urges New Definition of Security to Meet Changing Privacy, Identity and Risk Management Concerns; In Keynote at World Congress on IT, McGrath Emphasizes Importance of Visibility to Secure Business Operations

AUSTIN, Texas, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The term "security" must be redefined and expanded to encompass the new global realities of colliding economic, political and consumer forces that demand more accountability from businesses and governments, said Joseph W. McGrath, president and CEO of Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS), in his keynote address here today at the 15th World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT 2006).
From port security concerns to bird flu risks to large scale identity thefts and cyber breaches, individuals, businesses and governments think differently today about what security and safety mean. McGrath stressed that as a result, companies and governments need more visibility into their operations to better plan ahead and more effectively manage risk, both for their customers and constituents.

"Seeing today is the path to securing tomorrow," said McGrath. "Security--in a new world--is not merely about what can go wrong but what needs to go right. Organizations today operate on a slender thread, delicately striking a balance between security as defense and protection, and security as confidence and trust."

McGrath discussed how the private and public sector must work together to improve security worldwide. He stressed that success demands a framework--a blueprint--to identify, track and trace, and protect people, goods, and information and IT systems. It demands technologies old and new, all connected through a clear digital blueprint.

"That slender thread can unravel or break at a moment's notice," McGrath said. "To achieve success, you must be more secure not only in a physical sense, you also need to be more confident. This means an organization has to be visible--not merely preventing problems but also inspiring confidence in the marketplace."

Unisys expands on these views in its publication of "Your New World: A Visual Guide to Secure Business Operations," which offers advice for businesses and governments to meet the new security demands of a global economy. The book discusses the importance for an organization to be a leader trusted by all its customers and stakeholders, with the visibility needed to read patterns in effective ways to help satisfy marketplace needs today and tomorrow.

In addition to his keynote at WCIT, McGrath participated in a panel of government and private sector experts who further explored this new security paradigm. The panel discussed the visibility and collaboration needed in identity authentication, which is often at the heart of most security initiatives.

Unisys also presented policy proposals to WCIT delegates on the need for standards around procedures and practices in global identity authentication. In developing its proposals, Unisys conducted primary global research to study consumers' views on privacy and security issues. The research reveals that a majority of individuals worldwide would share personal data if they knew the end user will securely protect their information and they can perceive a clear benefit in convenience gained. For a summary of the survey results, see http://www.unisys.com/services/security/security__program.htm

Biogen Idec to Expand Oncology Pipeline with Acquisition of Conforma Therapeutics

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & SAN DIEGO, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Conforma Therapeutics Corporation, a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on the design and development of novel drugs for the treatment of cancer, today announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement for the acquisition of Conforma by Biogen Idec.
Conforma, founded in 1999, is focused on the discovery and development of drugs that inhibit heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) molecules, which are involved in protecting and supporting the growth of cancer cells across a range of tumor types, and which also play a role in tumor resistance to a number of leading cancer therapies. The company has advanced two compounds into Phase I clinical trials: CNF1010, a proprietary form of the geldanamycin derivative 17-AAG; and CNF2024, a totally synthetic, orally bioavailable HSP90 inhibitor.

"Global leadership in oncology -- from discovery to development to commercialization -- is a major strategic objective for Biogen Idec," said James C. Mullen, Biogen Idec's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Conforma's platforms in the promising area of HSP90 antagonists provide significant opportunities to develop drugs for a range of solid tumors. Through this transaction, Biogen Idec will also broaden our therapeutic opportunities in the cancer field while adding Conforma's talented scientific team to our oncology group."

"Biogen Idec is a premier biotechnology organization that has pioneered important medical advances in areas of high unmet need. Working together will better enable the development of our innovative therapeutics and will open opportunities for further application of our technology platforms," said Lawrence C. Fritz, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Conforma. "Biogen Idec's global resources and commitment to advancing breakthrough therapies make them an ideal partner for us and we look forward to joining them."

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. Upon completion, Biogen Idec will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Conforma for $150 million, payable at closing, and up to an additional $100 million upon the achievement of certain development milestones. The transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is subject to approval by the stockholders of Conforma and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Montgomery & Co., LLC was the exclusive financial advisor to Conforma in connection with this transaction.

Following the transaction's close, Conforma's operations and employees will be integrated into Biogen Idec's San Diego campus, the company's oncology center of excellence. Conforma's North American and European rights to Amrubicin, an anthracycline anticancer drug that Conforma had licensed from Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd., will be transferred out of Conforma into a new start-up specialty pharmaceuticals company, Cabrellis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, prior to the close of this transaction.

Conforma's Technology Platform: Inhibiting HSP90 Chaperones

Cancer occurs when certain signaling proteins, such as kinases and nuclear receptors, mutate or become over expressed. Recent discoveries in cell biology have demonstrated that many of these key signaling proteins require the action of a family of molecular "chaperones" known as the HSP90 chaperone family in order to be properly folded and thus maintain activity. Drugs that bind to HSP90 chaperones may induce these critical signaling proteins to degrade, leading to tumor cell death. Conforma's drug candidates specifically bind to activated forms of HSP90 and thus attack tumor cells, sparing normal tissues.

In addition to its lead products, Conforma has developed a diverse library of compounds that affect the HSP90 family of molecular chaperones and have the potential to lead to the development of other treatments.

About Conforma Therapeutics

Conforma Therapeutics, a San Diego-based biopharmaceutical company, is focused on the design and development of novel drugs for the treatment of cancer. Conforma's internal discovery efforts have been focused on drugs that target the cellular HSP90 family of molecular "chaperones" that control protein shape or conformation, including that of key signaling molecules involved in the growth and survival of tumor cells. Further information regarding Conforma is available at www.conformacorp.com.

About Biogen Idec

Biogen Idec creates new standards of care in oncology, neurology and immunology. As a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of novel therapies, Biogen Idec transforms scientific discoveries into advances in human healthcare.

Let's Get Ready to Roomba

By Will Swarts
May 3, 2006
iRobot (IRBT1)


Share price as of Tuesday's close: $23.55
Share price now: $25.49
Percent change: 8.2%
Volume: 417,400 million shares, daily average 152,300

The News
Wall Street was swept off its feet by iRobot's (IRBT2) first-quarter financial results.

The Burlington, Mass.-based maker of the Roomba3 robotic vacuum posted a net loss of $2.9 million, or 12 cents a share, an improvement from the $4.1 million, or 42 cents a share, in red ink recorded a year ago. Analysts were looking for a loss of 17 cents a share. Sales surged 123% year-over-year to $38.2 million, trumping the Street's projection of $31.1 million. Buyers hoovered up shares of iRobot to the tune of an 8% gain on Wednesday.

Continuing demand for iRobot's Roomba and a pickup in military orders for PackBot4, a bomb-disposal robot in use in Afghanistan and Iraq, aided the top line. The stock is now back above its November initial-public-offering price of $24 but well shy of the January peak near $38 that was fueled by a strong holiday selling season. Investor enthusiasm was tempered during the first quarter by the shaky debut of the Scooba5 floor washer. Scooba and its $399 price tag failed to sway consumers, and some retailers had to offer discounts to move inventory.

But Paul Coster, an analyst at J.P. Morgan, credited iRobot with righting itself quickly and providing the revenue surprise. "First-quarter results were better than we expected owing to robust initial sell-in of Scooba," he wrote in a research note published Tuesday. "We may have been overly cautious regarding initial Scooba sales and consumer seasonality in the first quarter." IRobot doesn't break out sales by product.

In a conference call late Tuesday after quarterly results were released, management labeled as a "rogue retailer" the first chain to slash prices on Scooba, an automated floor cleaner about the size of a medium deep-dish pizza. IRobot said it's no longer allowing that retailer to stock Scoobas. Since the initial rollout, Best Buy (BBY6) and Home Depot (HD7) haven't placed re-orders, according to Coster. IRobot stepped up direct sales of its top-of-the-line products and plans to introduce a less expensive version of Scooba that will sell for $299. Roombas sell for between $150 and $300, depending on the range of software features used in different models of the automated vacuum cleaners.

"I will admit Scooba's birthing has been eventful," said Colin Angle, co-founder and chief executive of iRobot, during the conference call. The CEO reaffirmed guidance issued in February, saying he expected 2006 sales of between $177 million and $192 million. Earnings could hit a penny a share, much lower than last year's profit of 11 cents, due to expanding marketing and research expenses. Wall Street analysts project earnings of 34 cents a share for 2007.

Angle also pointed to improved margins, saying profits on sales increased 7.6 percentage points from the same period last year.

The Analysis
While iRobot's consumer business, which accounts for as much as 70% of its sales, is prone to seasonal swings, its military business, which picks up the balance, provides stability, says Brian Gesuale, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates.

About 400 PackBots are now being used by the military, Gesuale says, and a recent $26 million order from the U.S. Navy to build another 213 units gives the company some momentum. The twin caterpillar-tracked PackBots, which cost as much as $115,000 apiece, are used in bomb disposal, mine clearing and other "dangerous, dirty or dull" tasks, according to both the company and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which leads the Department of Defense's initiative to put robots on the battlefield.

"Missions, for example, surveillance and reconnaissance, that are long and repetitive may be better accomplished by a machine that never gets tired or bored and doesn't need a break," says Jan Walker, a spokesman for DARPA. "In the future, the Army, for example, envisions using unmanned systems for reconnaissance, to deploy sensors, to carry weapons, equipment and supplies, locate threats, act as a communications relay, assess battle damage assessment, detect mines, detect chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear contamination, and provide security, early warnings, and target acquisition and designation."

Gesuale says the current backlog of 250 military machines represents almost $33 million in sales. "That's nearly 100% visibility on the government side of the business," he says. "This helps because the consumer side follows a heavy seasonal pattern, during the holiday season in the fourth quarter and also around Mother's Day."

J.P. Morgan's Coster suspects iRobot is sticking with its current forecasts because of the seasonal sales shift on its consumer side, and wrote that the seasonal slowdown will likely shift to the second quarter. Consumer sales will hit $134 million this year, he wrote, and climb to $164 million in 2007. Military revenues should hit $32 million this year and grow to $43 million next year.

The company is also expanding into Europe, Korea and Japan. That may be a bigger boon than expected since robots are more widely accepted in Asian markets. Yi Guo, a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology's Robotics and Automation Laboratory in Hoboken, N.J., says consumers in Japan are particularly keen customers for a wider range of uses.

"In Japan, there's a big trend for entertainment and service robots," Guo says. "There's a trend toward humanoid robots for entertainment. Some can even mimic human actions, like dancing. In the U.S., I think the trend is more for service robots like the Roomba."

IRobot management also addressed a major concern for analysts: The some 18.7 million shares owned by company executives and the venture-capital firms that invested in iRobot before the IPO. The lockup period for those shares expires on May 20. A potential selloff could pressure the stock price.

"The executive team has no plan to sell stock any time soon," Gesuale says. "The second takeaway is that the VC community will ultimately liquidate, but will do in an orderly fashion."

The Bottom Line
In its civilian business iRobot makes gadgets, so it could be subject to fickle consumer tastes. But Gesuale thinks it's in solid shape regardless.

"There's a convenience and aging of America theme here," he says. "A lot of senior citizens don't want to leave their homes when they get older, but can't spend lots of time pushing around a vacuum cleaner."

The increased marketing expenses for the Scooba launch will subside, he adds, though overall advertising will be stepped up for the critical fourth quarter. The new military order and an increase in contract R&D revenue — government money for new robotics projects including a small unmanned vehicle — will also help.

"It's a nice diversified end-market play," he says. "You're basically riding the robot-adoption theme into two diversified end markets. It's hard to gauge the timing and size of these [government] awards, but they've been very good and have come in above expectations. And on the consumer side, they've got a great brand."

If Gesuale's confidence in the company proves accurate, then iRobot shares won't be gathering dust for long.

The company reports that FQ3 sales of approximately $1.2 million represents a gain of 262% over last year's third quarter and a 42% gain over the second fiscal quarter of this year. Preliminary results are unaudited and subject to review.

Leif Pedersen stated, "As the new president and CEO of SmarTire, I am extremely encouraged by these sales results for the third fiscal quarter. They clearly demonstrate that our company is continuing to achieve solid top-line performance on both an annual and sequential basis. In addition, with the increased acceptance of tire pressure monitoring in the global marketplace as a result of the Tread Act and higher oil prices, I am confident that SmarTire can significantly accelerate this sales growth.

W2 Energy Inc., a developer of Green Energy, is pleased to announce it will file its financials under a Form 10 and begin regular reporting. Upon filing of the financials W2 Energy will make application to the AMEX for listing. Mr. Michael McLaren CEO states, ''We have finished with the restructuring of the company and are satisfied that we can move ahead with a strong foundation and a clear focus to execute our business plan to the fullest.'' He also stated, ''We all look forward to listing on the AMEX building shareholder value, market capital and executing strategic acquisitions that will complement our already impressive portfolio of technologies, patents and commercial applications.''











eGene Inc. (OTCBB: EGEI - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=EGEI.OB )

eGene Inc., developers of rapid DNA analyzers, announced that its HDA-GT12(TM) Genetic Analyzer shows compatibility of detecting the influenza A virus, commonly known as the avian flu virus. The automatic analysis process is less than six minutes. The company has demonstrated that its system platform can handle 12 RT-PCR amplified virus samples in six minutes, or at a sample analysis rate of two samples per minute.

As an acute respiratory infection, rapid detection of the influenza A virus is important. "The virus naturally infects humans and other mammalian species such as swine, horse and avian species," said Dr. Ming Liu, acting CEO of the company. "The concerns of a human outbreak of the avian influenza virus have raised significant concerns. Our system can rapidly detect whether we are dealing with an ordinary flu strain or the more serious avian strain. Furthermore, genetic analysis is one of the effective ways to determine whether the virus has mutated to a point where it is dangerous to humans. The need to perform this analysis rapidly cannot be understated in today's world where an airplane ride can transmit a virus thousands of miles in a short period of time."

The HDA-GT12 system uses a consumable multi-channel cartridge that can be used to detect multiple influenza samples simultaneously. The cartridge is engaged to eGene's system and can automatically inject and analyze 12 DNA samples at the same time for results available in six minutes, or for 96 samples from a PCR plate for results available in 50 minutes -- less than an hour.

"This automated and affordable system can be easily operated for avian influenza virus detection," said Dr. Liu.

He noted that eGene recently tested its system utilizing the reagents from In-Vitro Diagnostic FluAVision kits provided by DNA Technology A/S (Denmark). Positive control of influenza A from the testing kit was used for amplification and analyzed with the eGene HDA-GT12 system.

Previously, eGene explained that its analyzer, if placed in airports and other ports of entry throughout the world, can be used to determine if the flu virus is present in the DNA samples of travelers entering -- or leaving -- a given locale.

"The fact that our compact, low-cost, automated digital genetic analysis system platform can do the detection and analysis work in a short time means that should a flu pandemic break out, our system could easily detect and notify officials of a virus carrier who may not be exhibiting physical symptoms of the flu. This is very important, because with illnesses like the flu, the virus is already present and multiplying even in the absence of physical symptoms," explained Dr. Liu. "This could potentially stop the spread of the flu."

eGene currently sells its HDA-GT12 system in more than 100 hospitals and research centers worldwide, and is looking to expand U.S. distribution.

The HDA-GT12(TM) Genetic Analyzer analyzes the genetic fingerprints of living organisms through the microsatellites AFLP and RFLP. It performs fast DNA sample screening and high-resolution DNA fragment analysis (2-5bp). The system also analyzes the quality and quantity of total RNA and cRNA, determines the efficiency of cRNA and cDNA amplification reactions and ensures quality of fragmented cRNA. The company sells cartridges that are specific to the type of analysis to be performed. All data is then received in digital form for appropriate transmission and storage.

Applied Materials buys coating firm: IT WILL PAY $464 MILLION TO ENTER SOLAR MARKET

May 05, 2006 (San Jose Mercury News - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Edging its way into the hot market for solar technology, semiconductor-equipment maker Applied Materials agreed to buy Applied Films on Thursday for $464 million.
Applied Films, based in Longmont, Colo., makes equipment that deposits thin layers of molecules on devices. The equipment is used to make flat-panel displays, solar cells, flexible electronics and coated, energy-efficient glass.

Under the deal, Santa Clara-based Applied Materials will pay $28.50 a share in cash. Since Applied Films has $161 million in its own coffers, the net purchase price is $303 million. Applied Materials will assume Applied Films' stock options and other equity awards.

Mike Splinter, chief executive of Applied Materials, the world's biggest maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, said in an interview that the deal allows the bigger company to expand its display business and expand into solar.

"Did you check your energy bill this week?" Splinter said. "The cost of energy and fossil fuels is an increasing concern. Technology is coming into play that will reduce its cost."

The equipment made by Applied Films, dubbed physical vapor deposition equipment, can be used in factories such as the one that San Jose-based SunPower has in the Philippines to make solar cells. Customers use the SunPower solar cells, which are now made out of the same silicon material used to make semiconductor chips, on rooftops to gather energy from the sun.

Applied Films, however, allows solar cells to be made out of glass, which isn't in as short a supply as silicon these days, Splinter said. Applied Films can help lower the production costs of solar cells, one of the big obstacles so far in solar adoption, he said.

Solar is about 12 percent of Applied Films' business, which is mostly built on flat-panel equipment. In the third fiscal quarter ended April 1, Applied Films reported revenues of $62 million, up 38 percent from a year earlier. The company lost $800,000, compared with a profit of $2.9 million a year earlier.

Jesse Pichel, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, said that the move gives Applied Materials a chance to participate in the fast-growing market for solar cell manufacturing. He said the market is relatively small now, but he anticipated it could grow to billions of dollars over time as solar cells take more of the energy market.

"This allows them to get into solar cell factories where they have never had a position before," Pichel said.

He noted that Applied Films has a new tool that is in use in factories owned by Q-Cell in Germany, and that tool will enable the companies to double their production. Applied Films has more than 700 employees, most of them in Germany. Splinter said the company expects to grow the division over time.

The deal is the biggest acquisition by Applied Materials since it bought Etec Systems in 2000 for $1.8 billion.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Freundlich - Schwache Arbeitsmarktdaten stützen
Die US-Börsen werden am Freitag zu Handelsbeginn freundlich erwartet. Unerwartet schwache Arbeitsmarktdaten hätten die Hoffnung auf ein baldiges Ende des Zyklus von Leitzinserhöhungen aufflammen lassen, hieß es am Markt.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> stieg gegen 14.50 Uhr um 5,00 Punkte auf 1.322,00 Zähler. Am Donnerstag hatte der S&P 500 0,34 Prozent auf 1.312,25 Zähler zugelegt. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> gewann 10,75 Punkte auf 1.720,50 Zähler. Am Vortag war der Auswahlindex um 0,87 Prozent auf 1.701,03 Punkte gestiegen.

Die Zahl der Beschäftigten außerhalb der Landwirtschaft ist im April nicht so stark gestiegen wie von Experten erwartet. Die Zahl ist zum Vormonat um 138.000 geklettert. Von MarketWatch befragte Volkswirte hatten mit einem Plus von 199.000 gerechnet. Die durchschnittlichen Stundenlöhne im April sind stärker als erwartet um 0,5 Prozent gestiegen. Von MarketWatch befragte Volkswirte hatten im Durchschnitt mit einem Plus von 0,3 Prozent gerechnet. Die Arbeitslosenquote in den USA ist im April wie erwartet bei 4,7 Prozent verharrt.

Aktien von Microsoft <MSFT.NAS> <MSF.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) präsentierten sich im vorbörslichen Handel etwas fester. Microsoft greift für den Angriff auf Suchmaschinen-Marktführer Google <GOOG.NAS> <GGQ1.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) noch tiefer in die Tasche. Die Ausgaben für das Online-Anzeigengeschäft, das MSN-Portal und neue Suchtechnologien werden in dem im Juli startenden Geschäftsjahr um 60 Prozent auf 1,6 Milliarden Dollar aufgestockt, kündigte Microsoft-Chef Steve Ballmer am Donnerstag (Ortszeit) an. Davon gehen allein 1,1 Milliarden Dollar in Forschung und Entwicklung.

Activision <ATVI.NAS> <AZT.ETR> (Nachrichten) waren vorbörslich auch gefragt. Der Spielehersteller ist im vierten Quartal des Geschäftsjahres zwar in die Verlustzone gerutscht. Das Ergebnis fiel jedoch besser aus als am Markt befürchtet. Zudem bestätigte Activision trotz abgesenkter Prognosen für das laufende Quartal seine Erwartungen für das Gesamtjahr.

Die Spekulation um mögliche Zukäufe von Warren Buffet bewegten ebenfalls die Kurse. So verzeichneten PG & E <PCG.NYS> vorbörslich Kurszuwächse. Der Versorger könnte ein mögliches Übernahmeziel für den Finanzinvestor Warren Buffet und dessen Unternehmen Berkshire Hathaway <BRK.B.NYS> <BRK.A.NYS> <BRY.FSE> <BRH.FSE> (Nachrichten) sein, berichtete das "Wall Street Journal" unter Berufung auf einen Vorbericht zur Hautpversammlung von Berkshire.

NowAuto Inc. (Pink Sheets: NWAU - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NWAU.PK )

NowAuto Inc. announced that wholly owned subsidiary Navicom GPS will be exhibiting at Booths #606-608. Navicom will be demonstrating the company's state-of-the-art digital network and GPS product line that launched earlier this year. Navicom encourages anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of tracking technology to visit the Navicom booths.

Parent company NowAuto Inc. announced earnings will be released on Wednesday, May 10th from the NABD Conference. The company also announces it has returned to profitability and will release an update later next week.

NABD is the perfect fit, with attendees ranging from financial institutions who fund this sector to dealer software management companies and BHPH dealerships nationwide, among other prospects in the marketplace.

Navicom has built their own backend hardware and software offering GPS like no other, customizing and integrating applications for specific facets of any business. Attendees need to educate themselves to the current market environment, identify new sourcing alternatives, and utilize technology to work smarter in order to navigate safely, meaning less loss of inventory and more profitability.

What about the escalating cost of fuel? How does this all pertain to GPS technology and how big is the potential for GPS?

-- Global GPS/Telemetric sales are on-track to exceed $16 billion by the year ending 2006.

-- The consumer automobile GPS/Telemetric sector is experiencing exponential growth also; studies show an increase in internal efficiencies and customer service in sectors where companies have adopted GPS/Telemetric systems, a largely untapped market.

-- The insurance and security industries have increasingly embraced the idea of embedded GPS/Telemetric systems to fight theft, damage, and fraudulent claims.

-- Growth rate for the market is expected to be near 25 percent through 2007 and increase beginning in 2008 as the next wave of GPS/Telemetric technology is made available via new satellite launches.

-- More than 25 million commercial vehicles and 5 million truck trailers are on the roads in North America. This is a clear indication of the tremendous market potential for commercial vehicle GPS/Telemetric systems.

-- Tangible benefits, such as increased productivity, reduced costs, and enhanced safety and security - which ultimately lead to greater customer satisfaction - are likely to make it difficult for fleet operators to ignore Telemetric.

-- Nearly 32 percent of trucks and about 25 percent of truck trailers are anticipated to be equipped with Telemetric systems by the end of 2012.

-- The revenue from both hardware and services in the long-haul, local fleet, and trailer-use segments alone is likely to breach the $6.5 billion mark in 2012.

-- Only 9 percent of the overall market is utilizing the benefits of this cutting-edge technology, leaving more than 90 percent potential market penetration.

-- This data affirms that the commercial and consumer GPS/Telemetric industries are in their early stages of growth - similar to that of the wireless phone industry in the early 1990s.








Dover Petroleum Corp (Pink Sheets: DVPC - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DVPC.PK )

Dover Petroleum Corp announced an increase in gross production from eight of its eleven coalbed methane wells in the Slater Dome field (the "Slater Dome Prospect") from an initial average daily rate of 254 MCF ("thousand cubic feet") per day in June 2005 (pipeline connection date) to 542 MCF per day in January 2006. Overall, Slaterdome's ownership amounts to a networking and operating rights interest of approximately 33.3% in the Slater Dome Area. The Company has received between $5.17 and $13.07 per MCF for its production from the Slater Dome Prospect. The company reported that the gross production has increased from 4,007 MCF (approximately 1,335 MCF to our interest) in June 2005, our first month of production, to 11,629 MCF (approximately 3,875 MCF to our interest) in January 2006 an increase of 190%.

We anticipate further increases to production as our wells dewater and as the producing wells are electrified. Currently, we are using some of our gas produced (approximately 175 MCF per day) to run the production equipment, which decreases the amount of gas available for sale. We anticipate that the current wells in the southern area of the prospect will have electricity by the end of February 2006, which will release more gas for revenue sales. We have one well in the northern area of the prospect that is awaiting a pipeline connection and one well in the southern area awaiting a completion rig.

The Slater Dome Prospect is located geographically in the southern end of the "Atlantic Rim" geologic feature where there are a number of successful coalbed methane projects currently being operated by Double Eagle Petroleum Co, Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Warren Petroleum, Kodiak Oil and Gas Corp, New Frontier Energy and others.

Dover's wholly owned subsidiary, Slaterdome, Inc., and Slaterdome's partners, Cedar Ridge, LLC and New Frontier Energy, Inc., together own the working and operating rights interest in certain oil and gas leases covering approximately 34,398 gross acres in northwest Colorado and southwest Wyoming (the "Slater Dome Area"). Our acreage increased from 32,631 through purchase of additional land at 2 Federal Land Sales. The Company and its exploration partners currently have nine gas wells and one water transfer well at the Slater Dome Prospect. All of the wells have provided indications of the presence of natural gas. As we dewater the coals, we will be able to assess the productivity and economics of each well.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., May 8, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) today announced that small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are increasingly taking advantage of Oracle(R) Database 10g Standard Edition One (Oracle Standard Edition One), the company's full-featured, enterprise-class database priced and packaged to meet the specific needs of the SMB market. The American Osteopathic Information Association, enetrix and Great Dane Trailers are among many organizations worldwide benefiting from the power and value of Oracle Standard Edition One.
SMBs across diverse industries, running on their operating system of choice, including Linux and Windows, are taking advantage of Oracle Standard Edition One's fast installation and automated management, which helps significantly decrease the cost and complexity required to deploy and maintain database applications. Oracle Standard Edition One also includes Oracle Application Express, an intuitive browser-based development tool for developing and deploying secure Web applications. It's proving ideal for consolidating disparate desktop database and spreadsheet applications, and deploying them as Web-based database applications that are secured and managed as part of Oracle Standard Edition One.

American Osteopathic Information Association Increases Access to Information

Headquartered in Chicago, Ill., the American Osteopathic Information Association (AOIA) is a professional association supporting more than 56,000 osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) in the United States. The AOIA uses Oracle Standard Edition One as the back end for its Web portal, DO-Online.org, which was launched in June 2005. With Oracle technology, AOIA was able to increase the value of its Web site by providing members with secure access to important information and online communities based on criteria in each user's individual profile. Using Oracle Standard Edition One and Oracle Application Express on Linux, AOIA cost-effectively consolidated its applications into a single database, which reduced redundant administrative tasks.

"In making software decisions for our new portal, we evaluated several databases," said Michael J. Zarski, JD, executive director, AOIA. "We chose Oracle because of its stability and flexibility on the Linux platform. Plus, we save thousands of dollars each year in administrative costs, and it allows us to provide our users an up-to-date, easy to use information service."

enetrix Offers Hosted eCommerce Solutions

enetrix is a leading provider of Enterprise Feedback Management and eCommerce solutions that help clients to identify and meet employee, customer and partner needs; improve profits and customer satisfaction; and enhance eCommerce capabilities.

Great Dane Trailers Keeps Orders Running Smoothly

Headquartered in Savannah, Ga. and Chicago, Ill., Great Dane Trailers is the leading manufacturer of dry van, refrigerated and platform trailers and has been in business for over 100 years. Faced with an obsolete order management system, Great Dane sought a Web-based sales system that could provide secure access to order information, including configuration data, pricing and availability of options for each product. With Oracle Standard Edition One running on Windows, sales representatives can easily generate such detailed information anywhere, anytime. Using the J2EE-based sales tool, customers' requirements can then be translated into an order by selecting appropriate options available at the manufacturing level. Oracle's robust database expedites this process and increases plant productivity.

"In making software decisions, security and reliability were the utmost concerns, but a manageable learning curve was also a significant factor," said Joe Dyer, manager of business technology and integration, Great Dane Trailers. "We chose Oracle Standard Edition One for its advanced features and because it offers us the opportunity to work more effectively with customers from every angle."

The lease and option to purchase agreement is considered timely due to the potential of high-grade gold production at the Bromide Basin Mines in the Henry Mountain Mining District in Garfield County, Utah.

"The Bromide Basin Mine has always been viewed as an important acquisition for Unico and its shareholders, but with the price of gold topping $650 per ounce, the fact that Bromide Basin is a true 'gold play' further emphasizes its importance for Unico," said Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "By extending the lease and purchase option well beyond its original expiration date, Unico now has an ideal and unique opportunity in our portfolio of properties to capitalize on skyrocketing metals prices."

The purchase option exercise price is $835,000.00 for all specified mining claims, mill sites and dumps being leased. If all terms of the agreement are met, Bromide Basin Mining Company will have the right to extend the term of the lease and option to purchase agreement for an additional year, through October 31, 2007, by giving Kaibab Industries notice by September 30, 2006. As consideration for this third revised lease agreement, the company has also agreed to pay in advance the sum of $5,000 per month and pay Kaibab Industries a five percent net smelter return upon all ore taken from the leased premises each month, to the extent that the amount for any month exceed the $5,000 monthly base rent.

The Bromide Basin Mining Company has paid to Kaibab Industries $63,591.62 for past due lease payments, taxes and mine fees on the previous mining lease agreement, which expired on November 1, 2005. The company has also paid $125,785.20 to Kaibab Industries as payment-in-full for the original equipment purchase agreement dated April 1, 2003 and promissory note for certain mining equipment associated with the original lease agreement.

"We are pleased to have another supportive business partner in Kaibab Industries, which granted Unico additional time to secure the financing necessary to maintain the Bromide Basin lease. With this lease secure, Unico will seek to initiate mining activities at this property as well as the ongoing work currently underway at the Deer Trail Mine," added Mr. Lopez.

Making Radio Waves

By Will Swarts
May 8, 2006
Emmis Communications (EMMS1)


Share price as of Friday's close: $13.43
Share price now: $16.25
Percent change: 21.0%
Volume: 8.7 million shares, daily average 571,000

The News
When a prominent radio executive decides it's time to tune out the public markets, investors listen.

Shares of Emmis Communications (EMMS2) rose 21% Monday after CEO Jeff Smulyan offered to take the struggling Indianapolis-based radio broadcaster private at $15.25 a share. The $567 million management-led buyout bid represents a nearly 14% premium to Friday's closing price. Emmis's stock had lost almost a third of its value since the beginning of the year.

Smulyan should have the cash available to make good on the offer now that he came up short in his attempt to purchase the Washington Nationals. Another bidder landed the baseball team last week. Smulyan, the former owner of the Seattle Mariners, already owns 16.9% of Emmis's shares. In a statement, Smulyan said he would improve the company's financial strength by refinancing $936 million worth of debt and preferred stock.

Emmis also announced that it's continuing its withdrawal from television by selling WKCF-TV in Orlando, Fla., to Hearst-Argyle Television for $217.5 million. It'll keep its half interest in "The Daily Buzz," a syndicated weekday news program produced in the WKCF studios, and continue to own the station's building. (Hearst Corp. is a co-owner of SmartMoney.com.)

Emmis still owns stations in Honolulu and New Orleans, but has been pulling back from that business over the past year. Fourteen other stations have been sold since the middle of 2005, says Joseph Bonner, an analyst at Argus Research, an independent investment research firm in New York. The bulk of the company's $387 million in fiscal 2006 revenues came from its 26 U.S. radio stations and other broadcasting operations in Eastern Europe. An ambitious share buyback last August, in which about 40% of the public shares were taken off the market at a $395 million price tag, hurt the bottom line last year, says Fred Moran, an analyst at the Stanford Group, an equity research firm in Houston.

Radio revenues will drop 1.6% to $295 million this year, according to a research note issued by Moran on Monday. There's little joy on the horizon, either. His models project annual radio revenue growth of just 1% for fiscal 2008 and 2009, with overall growth of 1.5% driven by 3% revenue gains in Emmis's modest magazine publishing business.

A radical makeover appears necessary as traditional radio faces stiff competition from satellite broadcasters such as Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI3) and XM Satellite Radio (XMSR4). Even though Sirius and XM have seen their shares suffer of late, Bonner says the market assigns better growth prospects to satellite-radio broadcasters than terrestrial ones.

The Analysis
Monday's market reaction has been two-pronged. First, the thinking is that it's about time something happened to shake up the stock. Second, many on Wall Street are encouraging investors to sell today, at the likely top of the market, since there's little chance things will get any better for Emmis any time soon.

"The Emmis tender offer reflects the frustration that management has had with their lagging stock price," says Moran. "We think it's a positive effort toward recognizing the troubles of radio, but does not offset the fact that radio remains under competitive pressure. We would suggest investors take the money, given that a multiple of 15 [times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda] reflects more than fair value for a radio asset at a time when radio's fundamentals are pressured."

With terrestrial radio revenues essentially flat in 2005, even that deal looks unappealing to Anthony DiClemente, an analyst with Lehman Brothers.

"In our opinion, Emmis does not make an attractive leveraged buyout (LBO) candidate at this premium valuation as there is little room for margin improvement, given its radio Ebitda margins are currently around 36%," DiClemente wrote in a research note published Monday. "In addition, at the current proposed takeout multiple in the low teens, we estimate that an LBO [internal rate of return] would only approximate 5% to 10%, assuming that radio market multiples stay flat over the next five years. As a result, we do not believe the possibility for private buyouts provides enough rationale to step in and buy radio stocks at current levels, and would recommend investors sell into today's strength."

Bonner says it might be more realistic to see the management bid as an extension of last August's share buyback, which drove prices up above $24 a share at the very peak.

"Management's view of radio's future is much more optimistic than Wall Street's — perhaps that is why Emmis shares have performed so poorly over the past year," according to Bonner. "While sharpening a company's focus on a core business is often positive, it also increases risk by concentrating on one industry. We are not as sanguine as management about the prospects of radio. Emmis has, however, managed average rate increases of about 6.4% over the last two years in radio."

That's not enough for Moran, who adds that investors were also relieved that Smulyan whiffed on the company's pursuit of the increasingly struggling Nationals franchise.

"If Emmis had bought a share of the Nationals, it could only have overhung the stock as a concern, because it would have further indebted Emmis without providing any positive cash-flow contribution. Most investors were uncomfortable with the pursuit of the Nationals franchise."

The Bottom Line
Emmis may be the first midsize radio company to take itself out of the publicly traded game, but it certainly won't be the last. For that reason alone it's not wise to hope for a third-party bidder to come along and push up Smulyan's bid.

Smulyan, who owns 66.7% of super-voting stock in addition to his 17% stake of common shares, "will not agree to any other transaction involving Emmis," according to the company's statement. That dims any prospect of a competing offer, says Moran, who also believes that the special committee voting on the management buyout won't kick in another $1 a share to help the deal along.

"Sell Emmis into the overreaction to the buyout offer, because we're sour on the sweetener," according to Moran.

Investors determined to speculate on radio would do better by far to keep their eyes on Entercom Communications (ETM5), which has completed a $100 million share buyback and has a more favorable balance of debt and cash. Cox Radio (CXR6), the publicly traded terrestrial radio unit of privately held Cox Communications, has low debt and has a corporate parent that could bring the company off the market "in the blink of an eye," says Moran.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Knapp behauptet erwartet
Die Aktien an der New Yorker Börse werden am Dienstag laut Händlern knapp behauptet in den Handel gehen. Die enttäuschende Dell-Prognose dürfte auf die Stimmung drücken. Für Zurückhaltung werde auch der für Mittwoch anstehende US-Zinsentscheid sorgen. Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> fiel um 0,10 Punkte auf 1.327,10 Zähler. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> verlor 1,25 Punkte auf 1.720,00 Zähler.

Dell-Aktien <DELL.NAS> <DLCA.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) brachen vorbörslich um 8,06 Prozent auf 24,30 US-Dollar ein. Am Vorabend hatte der US-Computerhersteller seine Gewinnprognose gesenkt. Wie das Unternehmen am Montag nach US-Börsenschluss mitteilte, rechnet es nun für das erste Geschäftsquartal mit einem Gewinn pro Aktie (EPS) nach dem US-Bilanzierungsstandard GAAP von 33 US-Cent. Zuvor hatte Dell den Anlegern 36 bis 38 Cent in Aussicht gestellt. Eine Vielzahl von Analysten schraubten daraufhin ihr Kursziel für Dell herunter.

Aktien des US-Autobauers General Motors (GM) <GM.NYS> <GMC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) legten vorbörslich 3,69 Prozent auf 24,42 US-Dollar zu.

Der weltgrößte Autohersteller hatte zuvor im April für den Januar-März-Abschnitt auf vorläufiger Basis einen Verlust ausgewiesen. Zudem stufte die Deutsche Bank den Titel auf "Hold" herauf.

McDonald's <MCD.NYS> <MDO.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) legten vorbörslich etwas zu. Die Schnellimbißkette hat den Umsatz im April weltweit um 6,25 Prozent auf vergleichbarer Basis gesteigert. Das Wachstum im amerikanischen Heimatmarkt lag bei 4,1 Prozent, in Europa bei 9,3 Prozent.

Am Montag hatte der Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) <INDU.IND> 0,06 Prozent auf 11.584,54 Punkte gewonnen. Er verharrte damit auf dem am Freitag erklommenen höchsten Niveau seit April 2000.

OMNI Reports Strong 1st Quarter Results 1st Quarter Results Top Wall Street Estimates Revenues Increase 40%; Net Income More Than Doubles; EBITDA Surges Over 55%

CARENCRO, La., May 11, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- OMNI ENERGY SERVICES CORP. (Nasdaq: OMNI) announced today that its 2006 first quarter net income was more than double the amount of net income from continuing operations reported by the Company during the comparable 2005 quarter and almost 50% higher than Wall Street estimates.
On revenues of $18.5 million, OMNI reported net income of $2.3 million ($0.11 per diluted share on approximately 21.6 million fully diluted shares) for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Wall Street had estimated OMNI's 2006 first quarter net income from continuing operations would total $1.5 million ($0.09 per diluted share on fewer fully diluted shares -- approximately 16.1 million). The 2006 first quarter results include a charge of approximately $0.1 million attributable to the recent implementation of FASB 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Payments. Additionally, the 2006 first quarter's results included the operations of the Company's recent acquisition of Preheat, Inc. since the effective date of that acquisition -- February 10, 2006. If the results of Preheat, Inc. were included for the entire 2006 first quarter, the Company's pro forma net income would have been approximately $2.8 million on pro forma revenues of $21.3 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for discontinued operations and other income or expense ("Adjusted EBITDA"), for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was $4.6 million, more than 55% greater than the $2.9 million reported for the comparable 2005 period. Including the results of Preheat, Inc. for the entire first quarter of 2006, the Company's pro forma Adjusted EBITDA would have approximated $5.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided herein to assist investors to better understand the Company's financial performance. See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA on the last page of this press release including a discussion of why the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

After preferred stock dividends and related charges of $0.2 million, OMNI's net income to common stockholders and pro forma net income to common stockholders was $2.1 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The Company previously reported net income from continuing operations of $0.9 million ($0.08 per diluted share) and net income of $0.2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) on revenues of $13.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2005. No preferred stock dividends were paid in the 2005 first quarter.

Commenting on the first quarter results, James C. Eckert, OMNI's Chief Executive Officer said, "The first quarter was a solid start to what promises to be a busy and exciting 2006. This trend appears to be continuing into the second quarter. With the 2005 sale of the aviation transportation segment, our management team has been able to return their focus on the growth and profitability of our core business segments and completion of the acquisition of Preheat, Inc. As a result, we reported improved margins and increased profitability on higher revenues, increased asset utilization and improved operating efficiencies for the first quarter of 2006. We are now focused on integrating the operations of Preheat with our other core business units, continued profit maximization and strategic growth within each of these business segments. Utilization of our equipment and personnel remains very high and all market indicators lead us to believe, at this time, that these utilization levels are expected to continue throughout 2006. Revenues from all three divisions are at or above record levels. Seismic drilling backlog remains strong and early indications are that this strong demand for our seismic services will continue well into, and possibly throughout, the 2007 year. Our Trussco and Preheat units are adding sizeable top line revenues and enhanced operating margins. We believe remaining focused on the execution of our strategic business plan will continue to result in improved profitability, reduction of bank debt and increased shareholder value. I am optimistic we can leverage these improved operating levels into significant performance for this year."

Headquartered in Carencro, LA, OMNI Energy Services Corp. offers a broad range of integrated services to geophysical companies engaged in the acquisition of on-shore seismic data and to oil and gas companies operating primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. The company provides its services through three business divisions: Seismic Drilling (including drilling, survey and permitting services), Environmental Services and Equipment Leasing. OMNI's services play a significant role with geophysical companies who have operations in marsh, swamp, shallow water and the U.S. Gulf Coast also called transition zones and contiguous dry land areas also called highland zones.

Movie Gallery Quiets Critics

By Will Swarts
May 11, 2006
Movie Gallery (MOVI1)


Share price as of Wednesday's close: $3.16
Share price now: $4.78
Percent change: 51.3%
Volume: 39.6 million shares, daily average 2.6 million

The News
Movie Gallery (MOVI2) garnered rave reviews from Wall Street on Thursday. Quieting critics who said the home-video industry was tired, trite and played out, the No. 2 DVD rental company announced unexpectedly strong first-quarter financial results. Movie Gallery's stock went up 51%.

The Dothan, Ala., parent of the Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video chains finally saw its cost-cutting measures take hold. First-quarter earnings came in at $1.27 a share on sales of $694 million. The company earned 58 cents a share on sales of $234 million during the same period last year. Wall Street analysts expected a quarterly profit of 15 cents a share on sales of $644 million. Total same-store sales fell 6.5%.

The numbers couldn't have been better timed. A preview note from Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter published Monday called the start of the year a "make or break quarter" for the company, which like larger rival Blockbuster (BBI3) must contend with constant pressure from mail-based rivals such as Netflix (NFLX4) and video-on-demand services from cable companies. Movie Gallery's store operating expenses as a percentage of revenue fell to 45.2% during the first quarter from 46.4% a year ago; general and administrative expenses slipped to 6.4% from 6.7%.

But Arvind Bhatia, an analyst with Sterne Agee & Leach, a Birmingham, Ala.-based investment bank, pointed out the past few quarters have been wildly inconsistent.

"You had a company that was looking to try to improve their results for quite a while," Bhatia says. "This was a cost-saving thing, and they finally kind of hit their stride this last quarter."

The Analysis
As much as the market may applaud the performance, the effect of cost cutting, coupled with Movie Gallery's lack of guidance since completing its purchase of Hollywood Video last April, left plenty of short-sellers selling with two thumbs down as they were caught in a classic short squeeze.

Scanty information, a string of three losing quarters and conventional wisdom that sees dimming prospects for bricks-and-mortar rental operations prompted heavy betting against Movie Gallery. Short sellers borrow stock in hopes it will drop in value, allowing them to resell it at its original price and pocket the difference. About 16 million shares, nearly 60% of the public float, were held short as of April 10.

That means the breakout quarter prompted speedy unwinding of short positions as bears tried to cut their losses. It's an accelerating cycle that drives prices up in a hurry and often ebbs a bit after the initial frenzy of activity.

The earnings spike may not sustain its momentum — this is still a tough business — but Movie Gallery management was upbeat on its conference call. The company may close some stores and is working on subleasing within individual outlets to "educe the overall footprint of its store base by returning under-utilized portions to landlords and negotiating subleases where economically feasible," according to a written statement.

Chief Executive Joe Malugen didn't offer further guidance for the next couple of quarters, but he noted that an improved current and future lineup of video releases should boost the top line. "Saw II," "Chicken Little" and "King Kong" are among the more promising titles.

"While some other options have grown in recent years, home video rental remains the most popular movie option by far in the industry," Malugen said Thursday in a conference call with analysts and investors. "We do not expect that to change."

The Bottom Line
Movie Gallery appears to be the big beneficiary of a consolidating industry, and it looks like it's gotten a handle on integrating former rival Hollywood Video into its corporate structure. That prompted Malugen to say, when asked directly, that Movie Gallery "would be very receptive" to a possible deal with Blockbuster, whose shares climbed 6% in sympathy in midday trading.

"We certainly believe that further consolidation is warranted and desirable," the CEO told analysts.

If Movie Gallery is on track to demonstrate consistent results after bombing on its last few quarters and has managed to get its cost structure back in line, it may reverse its yearlong stock slide5. Shares remain a tough comparison with Blockbuster, which has rebounded in 2006, and Netflix, which has seen its share price more than double over the past 52 weeks.

The earnings surprise, which sank short sellers but cheered Wall Street with the potential for better things to come, combined with a potential merger could turn Movie Gallery into a summer blockbuster.

Federated Investors, Inc. to Acquire $7.1 Billion MDT Advisers, a Leading Quantitative Equity Manager * Cambridge, Mass.-based Firm Known For Strong Equity Performance in a Variety of Disciplines to Become Federated Center of Excellence * MDT Recogni

PITTSBURGH, May 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Federated Investors, Inc. (NYSE: FII), one of the nation's largest investment managers, today reached a definitive agreement to acquire the business operations of Cambridge, Mass.- based MDT Advisers, a division of MDTA LLC, at a purchase price of up to $240 million. MDT Advisers is the advisor to approximately $6.8 billion in separately managed account portfolios and institutional accounts and approximately $300 million in mutual funds that use MDT's proprietary quantitative investment process. J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer of Federated and Gordon J. Ceresino, president and chief executive officer of MDT, announced the agreement today.
The sale is expected to close in July 2006. MDT is an industry leader in quantitative investment techniques, having developed a disciplined quantitative process to invest in equities. The objective of the process for each of MDT's 10 investment strategies is to exploit multiple market inefficiencies in order to outperform the appropriate benchmark with moderate relative risk. The investment employees who have been responsible for the development and disciplined execution of MDT's proprietary quantitative equity investment process over the past 14 years will remain with the firm in Cambridge and continue to manage portfolios as a center of excellence for Federated.

"Combining the proven investment acumen of MDT's team and process with Federated's distribution muscle will give our firm a powerful new growth opportunity," Donahue said. "The MDT mutual fund portfolios will significantly enhance Federated's product offerings by creating a quantitative line of equity mutual funds to complement the 39 equity mutual funds that use Federated's proprietary investment process that blends quantitative and fundamental research."

The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of Federated Investors, Inc. and shareholders of MDTA LLC. The transaction includes initial purchase payments of approximately $110 million, the majority of which will be paid at closing, and a series of contingent payments totaling as much as $130 million over the next three years based on growth.

"MDT's relentlessly disciplined approach to investing employs a rigorous quantitative process, which has provided investors with consistent investment performance over the last 14 years," Ceresino said. "We opted to collaborate with Federated, not only because of their longstanding reputation in the industry and distribution strength, but also because they share our core business values by focusing on long-term investors."

MDT's flagship strategy, All Cap Core, has existed since 1991 in a separately managed account format and as a mutual fund since October 2002. MDT All Cap Core Fund (Institutional Shares) has an Overall 5-star Morningstar Rating among the 1,472 large-blend funds in Morningstar's Large-Blend Category for the period ending April 30, 2006. MDT Balanced Fund (Institutional Shares) typically holds 60 to 80 percent equities with the remainder in bonds. It has an Overall 5-star Morningstar Rating among the 818 funds in Morningstar's Moderate Allocation Category for the period ending April 30, 2006. MDT Balanced Fund uses the same proprietary quantitative process as the All Cap Core fund for its domestic equity allocation and adds a well- diversified mix of high-quality bonds to the fund in order to provide investors with both stability and income.

In addition to the MDT All Cap Core Fund and MDT Balanced Fund, MDT's other newer offerings include: MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund; MDT Large Cap Growth Fund; MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund; MDT Small Cap Core Fund; MDT Small Cap Growth Fund; MDT Small Cap Value Fund; and MDT Short-Term Bond Fund. Upon the closing of the transaction, Federated expects to introduce the MDT mutual funds to its clients. Federated has cultivated deep and diversified relationships with 5,500 client firms including banks, broker/dealers, bank broker/dealers, corporations, government entities, insurance companies, foundations and endowments. Federated's 170 sales professionals make thousands of client visits each year, calling on financial professionals and major institutions across the United States and in Europe.

As a result of strong investment performance in many investment categories, MDT's products have begun to attract institutional investors who typically use a separate account format. In particular, MDT's style-specific strategies, which include three small-cap products with strong performance since their inception, have stimulated institutional interest.

"With the combination of Federated's broad-based sales force and MDT's separately managed account sales experts, we will be able to introduce the Federated MDT portfolios managed by Federated's new quantitative center of excellence, MDT Advisers, to the banks, brokers and institutions that constitute Federated's sizeable distribution network," said Thomas E. Territ, president, Federated Securities Corp.

The completion of the mutual fund transaction is subject to approval of the MDTA Mutual Fund Board and Federated Mutual Fund Board of Directors/ Trustees, as well as shareholders in the nine MDT mutual funds. MDT mutual fund shareholders will be asked to approve a reorganization of the funds that will efficiently integrate their funds into the Federated complex and allow for the creation of Federated MDT funds.

As is typical in this type of transaction, MDT will obtain consent from its separate account clients to continue to permit MDT to manage their assets after the closing. Based on current asset levels, when these separate account and mutual fund transactions are completed, Federated would manage approximately $38.7 billion in equity assets, an increase of 22 percent from $31.6 billion at March 31, 2006.

At the closing of the transaction, Federated would own approximately 90 percent of the outstanding equity interests of MDTA LLC with the right to acquire the remaining 10 percent by June 30, 2007.

GHL Technologies, Inc. (OTC: GHLT-http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GHLT.PK)

Closed up 2% yesterday. after the close they announced today that it has signed a non-exclusive, third-party vendor agreement with Trimble Navigation, Ltd. (NASDAQ: TRMB) to provide nationwide sales, installation and maintenance for Trimble\'s line of Mobile Solutions GPS/telematics products.

Under the terms of the agreement, Trimble has outsourced the nationwide installation and maintenance of its GPS systems in commercial vehicles, in part, to EVI and has indicated that it will refer as much installation business as EVI can assume. EVI will contract directly with Trimble\'s customers to provide installation and maintenance services and also may provide direct sales of additional Trimble products.

EVI also reported this morning that through its new relationship with Trimble, it is currently providing GPS installation and maintenance services to one of the world\'s leading telecommunications companies. This account alone is projected to represent substantial revenue for EVI over the next few years and calls for EVI to install and service GPS systems in the client\'s fleet vehicles nationwide.

Altogether, EVI estimates that the installation, sale and maintenance of Trimble\'s Mobile Solutions line will represent multi-million-dollar revenues for the company over the next several years. Moreover, the non-exclusive nature of the agreement allows EVI to pursue similar relationships with other national and international GPS/telematics manufacturers.

"EVI installers have been training with Trimble for the past several months to provide optimum installation services for Trimble\'s GPS customers," said Gene Hew-Len, CEO of GHL Technologies and a 25-year veteran of the mobile electronics and GPS/telematics industry. "EVI\'s new relationship with Trimble, a world-class leader in commercial telematics applications and GPS technology, will help our company continue to solidify its position as a leading installer of GPS products and allows our company to benefit from Trimble\'s diverse product base."

Trimble\'s mobile solutions segment addresses numerous fleet management needs. The company\'s market strategy targets opportunities in specific vertical markets where it believes it can provide unique value to the end user by customizing the hardware and software solution for a particular industry.

Trimble\'s horizontal market strategy focuses on providing turnkey solutions to a broad range of service fleets and mobile workers across a large number of market segments, leveraging the same general applications that are used in its vertical markets without the same level of customization. These products are distributed through individual dealers as well as after-market automotive electronics suppliers, and EVI will be able to sell, install and distribute these products as well.

According to numerous industry sources, global GPS and telematics sales are expected to exceed $16 billion by the end of this year, with the demand for real-time track and trace applications growing exponentially as companies continue to improve customer service standards. The GPS/telematics marketplace is expected to grow at a rate of nearly 25 percent through 2007 and more rapidly beginning in 2008 as the next wave of GPS/telematics technology is made available via new satellite launches.

GHL Technologies continues to aggressively engage its resources to identify and establish strategic partnerships with companies on the cutting edge of GPS/telematics technological development as well as complete acquisitions that are consistent with its business model.








On The Go Technologies Group (OTCBB: OGHC -http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=OGHC.OB).

Closed up 1% yesterday. Last week they announced that sales for 2006 Q3 period have topped $10 Million for the first time in the Company\'s history. This represents an increase of over 20% from the previous quarter.

The record sales figure puts OTG over the $25 Million mark in revenue at this point, and on track to exceed $30 Million in sales for the year end July 31, 2006. The jump in revenue is due to the Company\'s acquisition of medical sector VAR Island Corporation and digital entertainment reseller Solutions in Computing last quarter, as well as the collective organic growth of the Company\'s other sales and service divisions.

"This is a great achievement for the Company as we move toward profitability. The people who truly made this possible, our sales and service team members, are to be commended," stated OTG\'s CEO Stuart Turk. "This quarter, coupled with the past two periods, puts us on track for our strongest year yet."








Ocean West Holding Corporation (OTCBBWHC-http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=OWHC.OB)

Closed down 1% yesterday after announcing to shareholders last week in an investor conference call held Monday May 8, 2006, and projects revenue generation as a result of its previously announced distribution agreements, driven principally by the Rogers Wireless license agreement, of between $650,000 per month to as high as $1,250,000 per month by year end 2006. AskMeNow expects to reach approximately one million subscribers by year-end as direct result of its nationwide marketing program in the US and a co-opted nationwide marketing program in Canada with Rogers Wireless, which currently serves over 6mm mobile subscribers in Canada as the leading cellular carrier.

With an anticipated subscriber adoption of just 25% of such projected one million subscribers, asking questions at a rate of 6-8 per month, AskMeNow believes they have set their expectations conservatively considering they anticipate sales from games, ringtones, and concierge services to be substantially accretive to the $0.75 Canadian fee charged for every question asked by customers in Canada.

"Considering we are preparing to launch in India in the coming months, as well as officially launching our proposed new improved product with the Intelligate software in the United States by 4th quarter 2006, we are hoping we can reach near term profitability by year end or first quarter of 2007, said Darryl Cohen, CEO. "As we begin to generate customer activity, I believe we will be in a position to provide other carriers around the world with an overwhelming validation of our technology and financial model. This will help to propel deals that should increase our revenue substantially," Cohen said.

ANALYSE: Commerzbank sieht den DAX zur Jahresmitte bei 6.300 Punkten
Die Commerzbank (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) sieht den DAX <DAX.ETR> zur Jahresmitte bei 6.300 Punkten. Zum Jahresende dürfte der Leitindex dann bei 5.850 Zählern stehen, hieß es in einer Studie vom Donnerstag. Die Initialzündung für die jüngsten Kursverluste sei von US-Konjunkturdaten ausgegangen.

"Die Bären sehen gegenwärtig nur Gründe für weitere Zinserhöhungen", sagte Analyst Ralf Goenemeyer. Dabei sei die Inflation nicht wirklich ein Problem. Eine weitere Erhöhung der Leitzinsen auf die erwarteten 5,25 Prozent oder gar darüber hinaus sei zwar durchaus möglich. Die US-Notenbank werde bei ihrer Entscheidung jedoch die Zukunft bewerten, und hier sei mit einer sinkenden Kernrate der Inflation zu rechnen. Eine Notwendigkeit für automatische Anhebungen gebe es demnach nicht.

Die Aktienmärkte bleiben nach Ansicht von Goenemeyer attraktiv. So habe die überwiegende Mehrheit der Unternehmen im DAX und MDAX <MDAX.ETR> ihre Zielvorgaben für 2006 bestätigt oder gar angehoben. Vor dem Wochenende und dem Verfallstermin sei ein positiver Stimmungsumschwung der Anleger jedoch unwahrscheinlich./ag/fat

Zacks Top Simulator Player Interview features Sierra Health Services, Titanium Metals Corporation, Frontier Oil Corporation, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. and UnitedHealth Group

CHICAGO, May 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks.com introduces its Second Quarter Challenge top player interviews, which feature insights from the leaders of the Zacks Simulator game. The Simulator allows investors to prove their stock picking abilities by competing directly against other players for prizes worth thousands of the dollars.


This week Zacks introduces another top Simulator player, Hamilton Lewis II (aka: Cycles), who is in ninth place in the Second Quarter Zacks Stock Challenge with an overall return of approximately 32%. Hamilton's Simulator portfolio holdings include Sierra Health Services Inc. (NYSE:SIE), Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE), Frontier Oil Corporation (NYSE:FTO), Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEIX) and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH)



Highlights from the May 17 interview include:

How does he play the market?

The successful stock picker's investment style consists of a "floating capitalization" approach that includes the principles of cycles, inter-market and industry analysis. In other words, Hamilton does not discriminate between large-caps, small caps or mid-caps. Rather, this market watcher zeroes in on cycles, industry trends and market activity.

He also pays attention to what the charts are saying. Hamilton likes to combine price and volume trends with supply and demand analysis. He believes this methodology allows him to find stocks that should outperform the broader markets.


Hamilton's Simulator portfolio, which includes Sierra Health Services Inc. (NYSE:SIE), Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE), Frontier Oil Corporation (NYSE:FTO), Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEIX) and UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH),



What does the savvy investor he look for in a security?

This Zacks Challenge contender seeks out two primary characteristics in a stock: positive industry conditions and an upward trending price. "Positive momentum confirms that the stock will rise relative to its cyclic pattern," explained Hamilton.

How does he know when to sell?

Hamilton looks for warning signs of a breakdown in the stock's and/or industries upward trend. Specifically, he keeps an eye out for a series of lower lows, industry group and sector deterioration, and a pattern of negative momentum.

What is his outlook on the market?

This Simulator participant is in the bearish camp. He attributed his views on the market to the negative U.S. Dollar as compared to the Euro and the Yen. The market player went on to imply that it is quite possible for the Dow to decline to 10,200 in the next 12 months.

Any advice for those who are just starting out in the market?

Hamilton, who is an admirer of George Soros for his courage as well as his style towards wealth accumulation and risk management, advocates learning from other successful investors. He also said "know thy self," meaning one should decide what he or she wants from the market before taking the plunge.

Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day Highlights: salesforce.com, King Pharmaceuticals, Guess and FormFactor.

CHICAGO, May 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks Equity Research highlights salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) as the Bull of the Day and King Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:KG) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Guess (NYSE:GES) and FormFactor (Nasdaq: FORM)



Bull of the Day:

Our Bull of the Day recommendation is for salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM). CRM is the market leader in the on-demand CRM space, and continues to see substantial subscriber and customer growth. The company has recovered from challenges in the fourth quarter to post some of its best results ever. Although the stock could prove to be volatile, we believe over the long-term, CRM is the leader in a potentially huge market. We therefore reiterate our Buy recommendation on the shares of salesforce.com with a six-month target price of $60.00.






Bear of the Day:

Our Bear of the Day recommendation is for King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:KG). King is a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing and marketing branded prescription pharmaceutical products. Most of the company's key products are either facing increased competition or generic threat. Additionally, we are concerned about declining prescription trends for most of these products. We believe that generic threat and mounting competition will continue to hinder both top-and bottom-line growth going forward. As such, we are maintaining our Sell rating on the stock, with a $14 target.




Analyst Blog:

Guess' (NYSE:GES) first quarter earnings were up 89% year-over-year and well above market expectations. We believe the company is positioned to continue delivering impressive results like this for the next several quarters. Based on the strength of its first quarter report and our optimistic view of the company's fundamentals, we are upping our 2006 and 2007 estimates. As such, our target price goes from $45 to $52, which is roughly 24 times our 2007 EPS estimate.







FormFactor (Nasdaq: FORM) is the market leader in advanced wafer probe cards used to test semiconductor wafers during the manufacturing process. The company has a very strong growth profile. March quarter revenue and EPS were above expectations. Bookings were up 17% sequentially to an all-time high. The company is no longer capacity constrained, and we expect margins to expand from here. The company's technology is leveraged towards leading edge 300mm and sub-110nm nodes, which are ramping quickly throughout the industry. We envision a strong second-half for FORM, and consequently, are maintaining our BUY rating FORM shares.





About the Bull and Bear of the Day

Every day, the analysts at Zacks Equity Research select two stocks that are likely to outperform (Bull) or underperform (Bear) the markets over the next 3-6 months.

Capitalizing on Growth in $70 Billion Staffing Market, INfe Human Resources Expands Through Acquisitions and Renames Subsidiary to Build Brand Recognition

INfe Human Resources Renames Wholly Owned Monarch Human Resources "INfe Human Resources of New York" to Increase Name Recognition in Thriving Industry May 17, 2006--INfe Human Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: IFHR - News), an innovative staffing company acquiring and accelerating the growth of staffing businesses in high-margin market niches, is exploiting growth opportunities in the thriving $70 billion US staffing market. INfe Human Resources has acquired revenue-generating staffing companies with complementary services and rolled them up into its wholly owned staffing subsidiary, achieving dramatic increases in revenue for first quarter 2006. To build name recognition and branding within the industry as it continues to pursue acquisitions, the company will discontinue use of the Monarch Human Resources, Inc. subsidiary name and continue staffing operations under the name INfe Human Resources of New York, Inc.

INfe Human Resources CEO Arthur Viola commented: "In the last two years the staffing industry has grown significantly. Growth has been driven by the need for flexibility in employment by both employers and employees coupled with a strong economy and job market. Trends including skills shortages across a range of industries, companies outsourcing services to focus on their core competencies, and the consolidation of staffing companies to increase scale and efficiencies are helping to spur double-digit industry growth." The American Staffing Association (ASA) reported that, based on data from its 2005 quarterly surveys, US annual sales for temporary and contract staffing totaled $69.5 billion in 2005, exceeding the industry's previous sales record in 2004 by 8.5%. Staffing firms employed an average of 3.11 million temporary and contract workers per day in the fourth quarter of 2005--up 9.8% over the same period the previous year. Following two years of double-digit employment growth in the staffing industry, the ASA views the staffing market as having moved into a period of solid, stabilizing, and sustained demand, even as staffing industry employment growth continues to far outpace overall employment growth.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that more jobs will be created in personnel supply services (which includes staffing) than in any other industry this decade, and that it will be the fifth fastest-growing industry through 2012.

"As we recently announced, our first quarter financial performance was strong, and we had significant increases in revenue, liquidity and cash flow that enabled INfe Human Resources to move from the development to operating stage," remarked Mr. Viola. "We have acquired and improved the performance of staffing companies with existing revenue and excellent potential. Backed by solid financial gains and key acquisitions, we feel we are uniquely able to take advantage of the sustained growth occurring in the staffing industry." About INfe Human Resources, Inc. (IFHR) INfe Human Resources, Inc., operating through wholly owned subsidiary INfe Human Resources of New York, Inc., is an innovative staffing company engaged in roll-up acquisitions of staffing businesses in high-margin market niches. To date the company has closed three acquisitions, resulting in significant revenue increases, expanded service offerings, reductions in back office costs and increased market share in the $70 billion staffing industry. In addition to taking advantage of major growth and opportunity for consolidation in the staffing market, INfe Human Resources offers capital and corporate financial consulting services to OTC Bulletin Board companies through its wholly owned Daniels Corporate Advisory Corporation subsidiary. INfe Human Resources' management team leverages a record of individual success in driving the growth of emerging companies to help potential consulting clients identify advantageous market niches and execute profitable roll-up acquisitions.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Freundlich - Gute Dell-Bilanz, Snow beruhigt
Gestützt von abnehmenden Inflationssorgen werden die US-Börsen am Donnerstag gut behauptet erwartet. US-Finanzminister John Snow hatte in einem Fernsehinterview betont, dass die Inflation klar unter Kontrolle sei, sagten Börsianer. Zins- und Inflationsängste hatten die Wall Street in den vergangenen Tagen stark unter Druck gebracht. Auch eine positiv aufgenommene Bilanz des US-Computerherstellers Dell sorge für Entlastung am Markt.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> legte bis 15.00 Uhr 0,45 Prozent auf 1.268,80 Punkte zu. Am Donnerstag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,67 Prozent auf 1.261,81 Zähler verloren. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> stieg um 0,52 Prozent auf 1.603,00 Zähler. Am Vortag hatte der technologielastige Auswahlindex 0,74 Prozent auf 1.587,11 Punkte abgegeben.

Technologiewerte stehen laut Händlern wegen der am Vorabend vorgelegten Zahlen von Dell <DELL.NAS> <DLCA.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) im Fokus - die Aktien tendierten vorbörslich fest. Zwar ist der Gewinn im abgelaufenen Quartal um knapp ein Fünftel geschrumpft. Damit wurden aber die nach einer Gewinnwarnung zu Beginn dieses Monats bereits gesenkten Markterwartungen getroffen. Analsten reagierten positiv: Friedman Billings stufte den Titel auf "Outperform" hoch.

Im Kielwasser von Dell sprangen Aktien von Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) <AMD.NYS> <AMD.FSE> (Nachrichten) vorbörslich kräftig nach oben. Der Computerhersteller Dell hatte bei Bekanntgabe seiner Quartalszahlen angekündigt, bis Ende des Jahres Server mit den neuen Opteron-Prozessoren von AMD anbieten zu wollen. CIBC erhöhte den Titel von "Underperformer" auf "Sector performer"./fat/gl

US-Börsen dürften sich zu Beginn erholen
Die aktuellen Futuresstände deuten auf eine Erholung an den zuletzt unter starken Druck geratenen New Yorker-Börsen hin. Der NASDAQ-Future legt um 0,6 Prozent auf 1.603,75 Punkte zu. Der S&P-Future steigt um 0,5 Prozent auf 1.268,75 Punkte. Besonders die NASDAQ ist mit Erholungspotential ausgestattet, zumal der Technologie-Index in den letzten Tagen mit acht negativen Notierungen in Folge die längste Durststrecke seit 12 Jahren verzeichnete. Ein Stratege macht auf den Umstand aufmerksam, dass der Markt auf einen Punkt gestoßen ist, wo eine starke technische Überverkauftheit zu registrieren ist.

Als mögliche stützende Faktoren für den Technologiesektor sind der weltgrößte Computerhersteller Dell und der Chiphersteller Advanced Micro Devices anzuführen. Dell verteuert sich nach erwartungsgemäß ausgefallenen Zahlen zum abgelaufenen Quartal im vorbörslichen Handel um fast 4 Prozent auf 24,85 Dollar. Advanced Micro Devices legen nach der Meldung über die von Dell beschlossene künftige Bestückung hochpreisiger Server mit AMD-Prozessoren vorbörslich um 8,4 Prozent auf 33,95 Dollar zu.

Bilanzprüfung im Strip-Club

„Due Diligence“ nennt man die Prüfung, bei der Investoren sich „mit der gebotenen Sorgfalt“ über die Zustände in einem Unternehmen informieren. Bestand und Bilanzen werden geprüft, Strategien und Märkte untersucht, das Management hinterfragt… so etwas kann langwierig und trocken sein – muss aber nicht.

Ein Nasdaq-notiertes Unternehmen hat jetzt einen neuen Weg gefunden, Aktionären und Analysten sein Kapital zur Prüfung vorzulegen: den „Due Diligence Ball“, ein heißes Nightlife-Event.

RickŽs Cabaret International ist der erste Nasdaq-notierte Strip-Club. Die Aktie mit dem Kürzel RICK handelt seit etwa zehn Jahren und kletterte in den vergangenen drei Jahren von knapp über einem Dollar auf zeitweise 8 Dollar. Zur Zeit notiert das Papier bei 6,49 Dollar, mit steigender Tendenz. Erst in dieser Woche hat das Management die Gewinnprognosen für das laufende Jahr um 10 Prozent angehoben, so gut läuft das Geschäft in zehn Läden in fünf US-Bundesstaaten.

Davon überzeugen sich Analysten gerne. Der Nachrichtendienst Reuters schreibt, dass den Experten in der New Yorker Filiale nicht nur Stripperinnen vorgeführt und private Tänze spendiert wurde, sondern auch Hummer und Austern. Immerhin verdankt RICK seinen Erfolg der Kombination aus schönen Frauen und gutem Essen, weshalb das Unternehmen an der Nasdaq auch der Restaurantbranche zugerechnet wird.

Anlegern fällt es allerdings auch nach dem „Due Diligence Ball“ schwer, ihren Analysten wichtige Informationen über das Unternehmen zu entlocken. Ronald Russo, Analyst bei US Euro Securities und Hausbanker von RickŽs Etablissements, beschreibt zumindest einige Branchentrends und gibt sich optimistisch für das Unternehmen: „Die Vorstellung, dass Stripclubs immer weniger akzeptiert werden, ist falsch. Das liegt nur an den jüngsten Spesenskandalen.“

Diese Skandale sind der Grund für das Schweigen der übrigen Analysten. Denn während sie eigentlich nut ihren Job erfüllen und einem börsennotierten Unternehmen mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von 30 Millionen Dollar auf den Zahn fühlen, tun sie das in einem Umfeld in dem Privates und Geschäftliches zuletzt oft vermischt worden sind – mit schlagzeilenträchtigen Folgen.

Für Aufruhr in der Strip- und Finanzbranche sorgte jüngst die Geschichte von Robert McCormick, dem früheren Chef des Telekomspezialisten Sawis. Der soll vor drei Jahren an einem einzigen Abend 241 000 Dollar im New Yorker Stripclub ScoreŽs ausgegeben und über seine American-Express-Karte als Spesen abgerechnet haben. McCormick bestritt das stets und will nur von 20 000 Dollar wissen, einen Rechtsstreit haben er selbst, Sawis, ScoreŽs und American Express erst vor zwei Monaten beigelegt.

Der Aufsehen erregende Fall brachte ein Thema ins Rampenlicht, über das die Wall Street in Zeiten politischer Korrektheit nicht wirklich sprechen wollte. So ist es im New Yorker Finanzdistrikt durchaus üblich, gelungene Geschäfte im Strip-Club zu feiern, was einigen Banken zuletzt Millionenklagen weden sexueller Diskriminierung eingebracht hat. Nachdem unmoralische Geschäftspraktiken Morgan Stanley zuletzt 54 Millionen Dollar kosteten und Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein noch gegen eine Klage kämpft, arbeiten die Broker-Organisation NASD und die Börsenaufsicht SEC an verschärften Regeln für Unternehmen an der Wall Street, die Sex künftig von Arbeitsplatz fernhalten oder empfindliche Strafen erleiden sollen.

Analysten, die sich mit der Aktie von RickŽs beschäftigen, haben jetzt ein Problem, denn über ihre Erfahrungen (und Einschätzungen) der Geschäfte können sie kaum öffentlich reden. Müssen sie aber auch nicht, denn offensichtlich informieren sich Anleger bei einigen Unternehmen gerne selbst – im Club oder in der Bilanz. Letztere ist am Morgen eingereicht worden und führt im Freitagshandel zu einem Plus von mehr als 8 Prozent.

Dell switches to AMD chips

AUSTIN, Texas, May 19, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Texas' Dell Inc. will switch to Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Opteron chip in multiprocessor servers by year-end.
News of the switch from Intel Corp. chips hoisted AMD shares 14 percent in overnight trading, the Financial Times reported Friday.

Three years ago AMD broke away from Intel's shadow by introducing Opteron, a server chip that ran in the enhanced 64-bit mode needed by many corporate customers but could also run in the more standard 32-bit mode.

Since then Opteron sales have increased to account for about 20 percent of server chips sold, said Nathan Brookwood, of Insight 64.

Many observers have long regarded Opteron as superior to Xeon.

bellwetherreport.com: BellwetherReport.com Updates Foot Locker Inc.

May 19, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The Bellwether Report Takes Notice of Foot Locker Inc. (NYSE:FL) Foot Locker leads the pack in the race to capture the biggest share of the athletic footwear market. The company is a leading retailer of athletic shoes and apparel. Foot Locker has more than 3,900 specialty stores in 20 countires in North America and Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand, led by Foot Locker (the #1 athletic footwear retailer in US). Foot Locker also operates Lady Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker; Champs Sports, an athletic wear retail chain; Eastbay, a catalog retailer of athletic equipment and apparel; and the Footlocker.com Web site. The company also has about 360 Footaction stores in the US and Puerto Rico, which sell footwear and apparel to young urbanites.
Shares jumped 9% in early morning trading after this week's announcement that the Company's first quarter profit moves up.

Athletic retailer Foot Locker Inc. said Wednesday first-quarter profit rose slightly, as strong business in North America offset European declines.

The company reported profit of $59 million, or 38 cents per share, compared with $58 million, or 37 cents per share, in last year's first quarter. Sales fell less than 1 percent to $1.37 billion from $1.38 billion.

Analysts were expecting per-share profit of 37 cents on $1.37 billion in revenue, according to Thomson Financial.

Same-store sales -- an important industry gauge measuring sales at stores open at least a year -- increased 0.5 percent, the company said.

SafeNet probed over options

May 19, 2006 (The Baltimore Sun - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- SafeNet Inc., the Belcamp network security company, said yesterday that it received a federal subpoena for information about stock option awards as well as an informal inquiry from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC requested "information relating to stock option grants to directors and officers of the company, as well as information relating to certain accounting policies and practices," the company said in a statement.

Federal officials this week have issued subpoenas to and launched investigations of several other publicly held companies regarding their stock options.

Regulators are looking at possible "back-dating," in which an executive would receive options with an effective date earlier than their grant date to take advantage of previous declines in the stock, The Wall Street Journal has reported.

Options usually bear a "strike price" equal to or more than the price of the stock on the day they are granted. Because the value depends on the difference between the strike price and a higher market price later, the lower the stock on the effective date the better for the recip- ient.

It was unclear last night whether the SafeNet probe is related to the others.

But an examination of payments to SafeNet Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Anthony A. Caputo shows a pattern of immediately exercisable grants of options at or near the bottom of short-term dips in the company's stock price, or at yearly lows.

The SEC declined to comment on the SafeNet case. The U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, which issued the subpoena, would not confirm or deny an investigation.

"We are cooperating" fully with both the SEC and U.S. attorney's office and "we will provide them any documentation that they need," said SafeNet spokeswoman Donna St. Germain.

St. Germain said the subpoena sought documentation regarding any stock options the company has granted. She declined to expand on her statement about the SEC inquiry.

In March, SafeNet stated in an SEC filing that it would adjust some of its 2005 earnings, strengthen its accounting staff and improve its financial reporting.

SafeNet said in the filing that it had identified a material weakness that "pertains to insufficient staffing and technical expertise in our accounting and financial reporting functions" and that it had hired two new accountants and created a new position of "director of recognition of revenue."

SafeNet announced shortly thereafter that Chief Financial Officer Ken Mueller had left the company, offering few details about his exit.

SEC documents show that on Sept. 29, Caputo received 100,000 options to buy SafeNet shares at the then-market price of $29.70 -- a day before the stock rose nearly $7.

On May 19, 2004, Caputo received 100,000 options at $21.70 per share, close to the low for the year of $21.14 and far below the price of $36.74 at the end of 2004.

On Feb. 27, 2003, Caputo received 100,000 options when the stock was $16.47. That was the lowest price of any trading day that year. By October the stock had reached almost $43.

Again in October 2002, SafeNet granted Caputo 100,000 options when the stock was $13.75. Within two months it was $29. In 2001, he got 150,000 options when the stock was $5.85, only a penny above its low point for the year.

In 2002, 2003 and 2004, SEC filings show that Caputo was the only senior SafeNet officer who got options that were immediately exercisable, meaning he could benefit from any short-term price increase. Most options have a vesting period of several years.

Other companies reported yesterday receiving similar inquiries from federal officials regarding stock options.

Caremark Rx Inc., a Nashville pharmaceutical services company, said it was subpoenaed this week by the U.S. attorney in New York and received an informal inquiry from the SEC for stock option documents.

Affiliated Computer Services Inc., a Dallas business process outsourcing and information technology company, filed an SEC document yesterday saying that it received a subpoena from the same office requesting documents about stock options granted from 1998 until now.

Health care giant UnitedHealth Group of Minneapolis said this week that it was subpoenaed for stock option documents dating back to 1999. The Internal Revenue Service has also asked the company for documents involving stock options for top executives, UnitedHealth said in a statement.

Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. of Camarillo, Calif., issued a press release this week saying that three of its top officers were fired because of their "involvement with issues related to the integrity of documents relating to Vitesse's stock option grant process."

Compuware's Karmanos gets 44% pay increase

May 23, 2006 (Detroit Free Press - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Profit went up at Compuware Corp. last year and so did executive compensation and the number of shares the company is giving employees.
Compuware Chairman and CEO Peter Karmanos Jr. was paid $3 million for the year ending in March, or 44% more than the previous year, as the company boosted profit 87%.

In the year ending in March, Karmanos' base salary was $971,850, more than a 50% increase from his $635,925 salary for the year ending in March 2005. The increase was not a raise, said Compuware spokeswoman Lisa Elkin. Compuware's board of directors restored a voluntary 69% pay cut Karmanos took in October 2003, she said.

That salary reduction was part of a cost-cutting effort during gloomy financial times for Compuware after the post-millennium tech bust that led earnings per share to drop 172%, from 91 cents in 2000 to a 66-cent per share loss in 2002.

Karmanos' bonus for fiscal 2006, which is tied to the company's performance, was $1.75 million, a 20% increase compared with last year. Of that bonus, $583,110 is to be paid after two years. During the year ending in March, Karmanos received $77,780, including access to leased cars.

He also gained $224,000 on paper by exercising expiring stock options, although he kept the stock he bought.

As a boon from the boost in earnings, the company told workers Monday that it plans to buy 100 Compuware shares for each of its U.S.-based employees this year. It opted not to buy those shares for employees last year for the first time in its history.

Compensation figures for Karmanos and the company's top executives were released in the company's proxy statement Monday.

In that filing, Compuware's board of directors said its bonuses are tied to goals for earnings per share and revenue. The board said the company met goals for earnings per share. But Compuware's revenue declined 2% for the year ending in March to $1.2 billion.

INTEL: Intel Capital extends WiMAX investments worldwide First investment in the Middle East and continued momentum in Europe

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 23, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Intel Capital, the venture capital investment arm of Intel Corporation, today announced the signing of two WiMAX (Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access) agreements. The first is for an investment in Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited, a joint venture with Orascom Telecom of Egypt, and the second is for an investment in Worldmax, a joint venture with Enertel Holding of the Netherlands. Both investments are expected to be completed following the fulfillment and satisfaction of certain condition precedents and the receipt of various approvals.
The deals underscore Intel Capital's continuing commitment to the deployment of low-cost broadband Internet access through WiMAX networks around the world. Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited is also the first investment from the Intel Capital Middle East and Turkey Fund announced last November.

Both deals are collaborations between Intel Capital and established telecommunications companies, which will bring significant experience of network deployment, marketing and operations to the newly formed joint ventures. Orascom TelecomWiMAX Limited will focus its efforts on working with governments and companies throughout the Middle East and parts of Asia to obtain suitable spectrum licenses for the deployment of WiMAX services. Worldmax is targeting the deployment of WiMAX services in the Netherlands. In addition to funding and personnel, Enertel is also contributing an existing nationwide 80 MHz at 3.5 GHz spectrum license to support this new joint venture.

Both new companies will be majority-owned by Orascom Telecom of Egypt and Enertel Holding respectively, with Intel Capital as the lead investor. Intel Capital will also provide access to the significant technical and marketing resources of Intel Corporation.

"Intel Capital is a leader in promoting the deployment of low-cost WiMAX based Internet access," said Arvind Sodhani, president of Intel Capital. "These latest agreements build on the foundation of existing Intel Capital investments to bring the benefits of low-cost, high-bandwidth broadband Internet access to consumers around the world and support the vision of the World Ahead program that Intel CEO Paul Otellini outlined earlier this month at the World Congress on Information Technology."

Over the past year, Intel Capital has announced investments in a number of WiMAX and wireless broadband service providers around the world including: PIPEX Wireless in the United Kingdom, DBD in Germany, Unwired Australia, Neovia in Brazil and MVSNet in Mexico. Intel Capital has also been active in supporting WiMAX infrastructure development through investments in Navini Networks, a provider of WiMAX basestations and modems, and Beceem Communications, a provider of mobile WiMAX chipsets.

"We see the creation of this new wireless service provider as an incredible opportunity to provide new services to major cities in the Netherlands," said Cees Meeuwis, Enertel executive chairman. "Worldmax will offer wireless access and services through a wholesale relationship with a number of resale channels in the Dutch market. This wireless broadband access service will uniquely complement the existing fixed-line broadband access services already offered in the Netherlands."

"Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited is an exciting first step towards bringing the advantages and opportunity of Internet connectivity to the people of the Middle East, and beyond, many of whom have never had such an opportunity before," said Franco Grimaldi, CEO of Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited.

"Together with Intel Capital, we will work closely with governments and companies in the Middle East and Asia to make this vision a reality."

Yahoo! and eBay Form Strategic Partnership to Further Expand Their Businesses in U.S.

SUNNYVALE & SAN JOSE, Calif., May 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) and eBay Inc (Nasdaq: EBAY) today announced a multi-year strategic partnership designed to mutually benefit both companies by better serving their user, merchant, and advertising communities in the U.S. The agreement consists of four major components in the areas of search and graphical advertising, online payments, a co-branded toolbar, and the opportunity to explore "click-to-call" functionality.
"Our consumers will benefit from the combination of Yahoo! and eBay's leading technology and services, providing them with one of the best online experiences," said Terry Semel, chairman and chief executive officer, Yahoo! Inc. "Yahoo! holds a leadership position in all forms of online advertising. This partnership with eBay provides us with a great opportunity to further extend our sponsored search and graphical advertising reach to one of the largest and most active communities on the Web."

"We are thrilled to be working more closely with Yahoo! and we think this agreement represents a great opportunity to benefit our communities and grow our businesses," said Meg Whitman, president and chief executive officer, eBay Inc. "Yahoo! offers an engaged online audience, which drives massive traffic through its rich consumer content and premium services. Working together, we can create more exposure for our properties, which in turn makes them more valuable to our users."

Yahoo! and eBay will begin to roll out the initiatives outlined in the agreement this year. This will include a testing phase that will take place over the next several months, with a plan to achieve full implementation in 2007.

Further details of the agreement include:

Search and Advertising:

Yahoo! will become the exclusive third-party provider of all graphical advertisements throughout the eBay.com site, and sponsored search for complementary products on some eBay.com search results pages in the U.S. Yahoo! already provides a broad and deep array of essential services to an extremely engaged audience around the world. Through this partnership, Yahoo! can expand upon these strengths with the addition of eBay.com's high quality online inventory, offering advertising clients an optimal marketing experience.

Yahoo! and eBay have also agreed to collaborate on ways to increase the quality and comprehensiveness of Yahoo! Web search results for eBay.com and to provide Yahoo! search users with more up-to-date listings from the millions of products on the eBay.com marketplace, with the goal to create a better search experience by enabling shoppers to more easily find relevant eBay listings.

Integrated Commerce Payment System:

Yahoo! has selected PayPal to become the exclusive third-party provider of its online wallet -- allowing customers to pay for Yahoo! services from bank accounts, credit cards or balances associated with their PayPal accounts. PayPal, which has 73 million accounts in the U.S., also will be deeply integrated on the Yahoo! site and will receive prominent positioning when users purchase Yahoo! services across its network. This offering will provide Yahoo! consumers with additional online payment choices and the option to use PayPal across the entire Yahoo! network.

PayPal will be integrated and promoted as Yahoo!'s payment solution to Yahoo!'s merchants and publishers, which includes the Yahoo! Publisher Network, Yahoo! Search Marketing, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and other small business services.

Co-Branded eBay Toolbar:

Yahoo! Web search functionality and Yahoo! site links, including the Yahoo! Home Page, Yahoo! Mail and My Yahoo!, will be integrated into a co-branded version of the eBay toolbar. The eBay toolbar has been downloaded by more than four million eBay users to date, and lets consumers quickly link to preferred eBay locations while offering enhanced online protection. This new co-branded toolbar will make it even easier for consumers to take advantage of both companies' offerings to quickly access information wherever they are on the Web.

"Click-to-Call" Advertising Functionality:

Yahoo! and eBay will explore developing and deploying "click-to-call" advertising technologies on their respective Websites in the U.S., accessible by users of both Yahoo! Messenger with Voice and Skype. "Click-to-call" is a product feature link included inside an advertisement that consumers can use to directly call that advertiser to pursue a transaction.

Yahoo! and eBay do not expect this relationship to have a material impact on their financial results in 2006. Both companies will incorporate any financial impact for 2007 and beyond when they deliver their business outlook for those periods.

Blue Coat Reports Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2006

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 24, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Blue Coat(R) Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCSI), the leader in secure content and application delivery, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. Net revenue for the fourth quarter was $35.9 million, an increase of 26.5% compared to net revenue of $28.4 million for the same quarter last year and a slight increase compared to net revenue of $35.5 million in the prior quarter. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, net revenue was $141.5 million, an increase of 47.1% compared to net revenue of $96.2 million in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and net income of $3.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the prior quarter. The net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 includes a charge for acquired in-process R&D of $3.3 million related to the acquisition of Permeo Technologies, Inc. ("Permeo"), the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $0.4 million, and approximately $24,000 of stock-based compensation expense, offset by approximately $0.2 million related to the reversal of restructuring reserves.

GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was $8.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to non- GAAP net income of $2.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was $12.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented above for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 exclude the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, the reversal of restructuring reserves, and a charge for acquired in-process R&D. The non-GAAP financial measures for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 also exclude the write-off net of recovery of capitalized software costs associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and the reversal of restructuring reserves.

Blue Coat ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted investments totaling $58.5 million, a decrease of $13.4 million from the prior quarter due primarily to the acquisition of Permeo, partially offset by cash flow from operations.

"Our fourth quarter results reflect the slower growth in the proxy appliance market that we began to see in the previous quarter," said Brian NeSmith, president and chief executive officer of Blue Coat. "We remain confident in our ability to maintain leadership in the market for secure content and application delivery, particularly with the latest addition of MACH5 application acceleration to our SG platform and the rapid integration of technology from Permeo."

Financial Outlook

For the first fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2006, the Company currently anticipates net revenue in the range of $36.1 - $36.6 million. GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $2.2 - $2.6 million, or $0.15 - $0.17 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, which is expected to exclude the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS 123R, net income is expected to be between $0.6 - $1.0 million, or $0.04 - $0.06 per diluted share.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Blue Coat uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income discussed above for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non- GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share data. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Blue Coat believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors regarding its ongoing operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations. Blue Coat believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain items, such as the amortization of intangible assets, the write-off and recovery of capitalized software associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system, a charge for acquired in-process R&D, stock-based compensation expense, and the reversal of restructuring reserves. In addition, the Company's management and board of directors use certain non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's financial results of operations since items such as the amortization of intangible assets, the write-off and recovery of capitalized software associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system, a charge for acquired in-process R&D, stock-based compensation, and the reversal of restructuring reserves are not considered to impact current resource allocation decisions. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EPL Offers to Acquire Stone Energy for $52 Per Share in Cash and Stock; Equity Value of Approximately $1.4 Billion Provides Premium of Approximately 26% to Current Value of Plains/Stone Agreement and is Expected to Be Immediately Accretive to Cash Fl

NEW ORLEANS, May 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Energy Partners, Ltd. ("EPL") (NYSE:EPL) announced today that it has made an offer to the Board of Directors of Stone Energy Corporation ("Stone") (NYSE:SGY) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Stone for a combination of cash and stock valued at $52.00 per Stone share. Under the terms of the EPL proposal, each share of Stone common stock will be exchanged for $26.00 in cash and a variable number of shares of EPL common stock having a value of $26.00 based on the average closing price of EPL stock over the 20 trading days preceding the closing of the merger. The number of EPL shares to be issued for each Stone share will range from a maximum of 1.287 to a minimum of 1.053, assuming 27.7 million fully diluted Stone shares. This would equate to 1.21 EPL shares for each Stone share, based upon the closing price of EPL's stock on May 24, 2006. Stone shareholders will be given the option to elect to receive the consideration in cash or EPL common stock, subject to the limitation that the total value of the cash consideration payable for the shares will be approximately $720 million.
EPL's offer represents a premium of approximately 26% over the $41.20 per share value proposed to be paid for Stone shares under the merger agreement between Plains Exploration and Production Company ("Plains") (NYSE:PXP) and Stone, based on the closing price of Plains's common stock on May 24, 2006; a premium of approximately 10% over the closing price of Stone's common stock on April 21, 2006, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed Plains/Stone agreement; and a premium of approximately 28% over the May 24, 2006 closing price of Stone's common stock, the last trading day before the EPL offer was made public.

The proposed transaction is valued at approximately $2.0 billion, which includes approximately $1.4 billion in equity and the assumption of approximately $563 million of Stone debt. This represents aggregate additional consideration of $300 million over the current value provided to Stone shareholders under the Plains/Stone agreement. On a pro forma basis, the combined company will be the third most active driller of operated wells in federal and state waters in the Gulf of Mexico (based on 2005 figures). The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to EPL's cash flow per share. Assuming the timeline set forth in the offer letter, it is anticipated that the proposed transaction will close in the third quarter of 2006. The equity portion of the transaction is expected to be structured to be tax free to Stone shareholders who elect to receive EPL shares.

"The financial benefits of this offer are extremely compelling for Stone shareholders," said Richard A. Bachmann, EPL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our offer clearly provides Stone shareholders superior value over that contemplated by the Plains/Stone agreement, including a substantial premium, the certainty of cash, and a variable exchange ratio subject to a collar to provide downside protection. In addition, given our highly complementary operating assets, we expect to achieve significantly greater synergies than those identified in the Plains/Stone agreement.

"The combination of Stone and EPL will create a premier offshore E&P company capable of generating considerable upside value for shareholders of both companies. This transaction will accelerate the diversification and growth of our presence in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf and add proved reserves at an attractive price. We will also gain significant option value through Stone's onshore Rockies position. Furthermore, the acquisition of Stone will increase our scale and scope and enhance our competitive position in all facets of exploration and development.

Wall Street: Analysten stützen den Markt

Die US-Börsen haben den Donnerstagshandel mit weiteren Gewinnen eröffnet. Kurz nach der Glocke klettert der Dow-Jones-Index um 36 Zähler, die Nasdaq legt um 13 Punkte zu.

Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt wird für das erste Quartal mit einem Wachstum von 5,3 Prozent gemessen, was besser ist als die ursprünglich gemeldeten 4,8 Prozent. Ganz zufrieden ist der Markt dennoch nicht, da manche Analysten eine etwas heftigere Revidierung nach oben erwartet hatten. Damit allerdings steigt auch die Angst vor weiteren Zinserhöhungen nicht so sehr, was dem Aktienhandel in den nächsten Tagen gut tun könnte.

Nachdem die Wall Street bereits am Vortag vor allem von einer Aufstufung für General Motors profitiert hatte, sind es auch am Donnerstag wieder Analystenkommentare, die Aktien Kraft geben:

Der weltgrößte Einzelhändler Wal-Mart profitiert am Donnerstag von einer Aufstufung bei der Bank of America. Die Analysten setzen die Aktie auf „Kaufen“ und heben die Aussichten für 2006 und 2007 an. Man lobt schwungvolle Verkaufsstrategien und stärkere Margen aufgrund langsameren Flächenwachstums. Zudem komme, dass Wal-Mart in einem möglicherweise abkühlenden konjunkturellen Umfeld weniger leide als andere Unternehmen der Branche.

Die Analysten von Prudential Equity stufen Ebay auf „Übergewichten“ auf und reagieren damit vor allem auf die Kursstürze seit Jahresbeginn, die das Papier auf einen attraktiven Kurs geführt hätten. Die jüngste Schwäche bei Ebay reflaktiere unter anderem die allgemeine negative Stimmung am Markt, höhere Zinsen und Ölpreise und entsprechend niedrigere Konsumlust beim Verbraucher. Diese Faktoren sieht man nun aber als eingepreist, womit das Potenzial der Aktie das Verlustrisiko deutlich übersteige.

Ebay verbessert sich um 9 Prozent, profitiert allerdings auch von einer neuen Kooperation mit Yahoo. Danach wird Yahoo exklusiver Werbepartner auf den Seiten der Auktionshauses, während die Ebay-Tochter PayPal exklusiv den Zahlungsverkehr auf dem Yahoo-Angebot regeln wird. Geplant ist ferner die Entwicklung einer „Click-to-Call“-Technologie, mit der User Anzeigenkunden per Mausklick direkt anrufen können.

Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses steht am Donnerstag auch der Börsengang von Mastercard. Der Kreditkartenriese gibt 61,5 Millionen Aktien zu 39 Dollar aus. Damit liegt man um 1 Dollar unter der eigentlich angepeilten Preisspanne von 40 bis 43 Dollar. Mit einer möglichen Marktkapitalisierung von 2,4 Milliarden Dollar sieht die NYSE dennoch das größte IPO seit Genworth Financial vor zwei Jahren.

Dass Mastercard überhaupt unter der geplanten Spanne erstnotiert, liegt an einem enttäuschenden Börsengang vom Vortag, als Vonage Holdings als große Enttäuschung in die Geschichte einging. Das Papier des Internettelefon-Spezialisten hat am ersten Handelstag 13 Prozent abgegeben und damit das schwächste IPO seit zwei Jahren gegeben.

Stockguru.com: StockGuru Alerts for Tuesday, May 30, 2006 Micron Enviro Systems Announces Forward Split and ADNR Licenses Software

Dallas, Texas, May 30, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- StockGuru Pre-Market Updates for Tuesday include Micron Enviro Systems Inc (OTCBB: MSEV), NutraCea (OTCBB: NTRZ), Cord Blood America, Inc (OTCBB: CBAI), Starfield Resources Inc (OTCBB: SRFDF) , Atlas Mining Company (OTCBB: ALMI) and Andrea Electronics Corporation (OTCBB: ANDR) StockGuru Price Alerts feature companies with significant moves in either volume or price in the past two trading sessions. In our update we analyze recent news about the companies featured and detail the movement in the stock.



Micron Enviro Systems Inc (OTCBB: MSEV) - Shares closed up 6.20% on Friday Volume was heavy at 4,447,005 shares, with closing price of $.14 per share. On Thursday, May 25, the Company announced plans to forward split its stock on a 3 for 1 basis for shareholders of record on June 12, 2006. Management feels a forward split would reward the existing and new shareholders of record and assist in curbing the possible naked shorting of the stock. Micron is currently undertaking a new marketing initiative to create additional awareness for the company. This plan will primarily be email based and will target 100 percent opt-in private and intuitional investors that trade stocks in Micron's price range. This new marketing initiative will be on-going over the coming months. Bernie McDougall, President of Micron stated, "We feel that at this time a forward split is the best situation for Micron to move forward in growing the company and maximizing shareholder value. When you take into account the current near all time highs on oil prices and that the shares are trading more than 70% below the high recently set, we feel that the Micron shares may not be reflecting the current value of the company especially since the company's current liabilities have decreased by over 75% and the current assets have increased by 10 times during the past quarter. At this time, Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands prospects."

MSEV is an emerging oil and gas company that has both oil and gas producing properties. MSEV's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace.
