Guess?, Inc. Reports Record Third Quarter 2006 Revenues and Earnings Third Quarter EPS Increased by 128%, to $1.05 Versus $0.46 Last Year


LOS ANGELES, Nov 01, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Guess?, Inc.
(NYSE: GES) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2006.Third Quarter ResultsFor the third quarter of 2006,
the Company reported record net earnings of $48.4
million,
an increase of 133.8% compared to
net earnings of $20.7 million for the
quarter ended October 1, 2005.
Diluted earnings per share increased 128.3% to
$1.05 per share in the current quarter versus $0.46 per share in the third
quarter of last year.


Paul Marciano, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, commented, "We are very pleased with our
outstanding financial performance in the third quarter. Our results represent
record-setting levels of revenues, operating margin, net earnings and earnings
per share, compared to any quarter in the Company's history. Our revenues and
earnings came in stronger than our expectations across all businesses and
geographic regions of the world. Our operating results show the power and the
potential of our business model with each of our businesses achieving
significant growth and margin expansion in the quarter. As a result, the
Company's operating margin expanded by 780 basis points -- a great achievement.

"Mr. Marciano stated, "Starting with North America, we had a very strong quarter.
Our retail business delivered top line growth of 14% and increased operating
earnings by 38%. The wholesale segment increased revenues by 38% and increased
operating earnings nearly fivefold.

"Mr. Marciano concluded, "Our results demonstrate that our business model today
is a unique one, more balanced and diversified. Europe had a remarkable third
quarter and was the largest contributor to our results, generating nearly a
third of our revenues and more than half of our operating profit.

We see even
greater opportunity in that region as we expand into northern and eastern
Europe. As our European business continues to gain traction and momentum, we are
now focusing on new opportunities, such as Asia.

Premium Brands Income Fund Announces Record Third Quarter Sales and EBITDA


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov 6, 2006 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- Premium
Brands Income Fund (TSX:PBI.UN), a leading producer, marketer and distributor of
specialty branded consumer food products, announced today its third quarter and
year-to-date results for the 13 week and 39 week periods ended September 30,
2006.HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER- The Fund's results for the third quarter of 2006 represent its seventh
consecutive quarter of record sales and EBITDA from continuing operations.- The Fund generated $5.3 million or $0.3556 per unit in distributable cash in
the third quarter of 2006 and declared $4.4 million or $0.2940 per unit in cash
distributions representing a payout ratio of 82.7%. On a rolling four quarter
basis, Premium Brands has generated distributable cash of $18.9 million or
$1.2585 per unit and declared $17.6 million or $1.176 per unit in cash
distributions representing a payout ratio of 93.4%.- The Fund posted earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter of
$4.2 million or $0.28 per unit versus $1.2 million or $0.10 per unit/share in
2005. On a year-to-date basis earnings from continuing operations increased to
$11.4 million or $0.76 per unit as compared to $3.5 million or $0.30 per
unit/share for 2005.- Third quarter sales of the Fund's core specialty food products increased by
$4.3 million or 8.1% to $55.5 million with organic growth representing
approximately 70% of the increase and acquisitions the remaining 30%. Total
sales for the quarter increased by 3.5% to $58.8 million as a $3.8 million
decrease in mainstream processed meat sales partially offset the specialty food
product sales gains. The Fund's lower mainstream processed meat sales were the
result of its decision earlier this year to exit certain lower margin product
categories. On a year-to-date basis the Fund's sales were up 8.2% to $163.4
million from $151.1 million in 2005.- Third quarter EBITDA from continuing operations reached a record $6.6 million
despite inflationary pressures on a variety of input costs and the Fund's new
Hempler's business still operating in a ramp up mode. On a year-to-date basis
EBITDA from continuing operations was up 24.0% to $17.9 million from $14.4
million in 2005.- Subsequent to the third quarter the Fund completed a treasury offering of
2,444,280 units at $11.60 per unit resulting in gross proceeds of $28.4 million.
The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $26.4 million, after
deducting the underwriters' fee and expenses of the offering, will initially be
used to reduce the amount outstanding on the Fund's credit facilities and then
to take advantage of acquisition opportunities and for general corporate
purposes. Post the offering the Fund's net funded debt to EBITDA ratio will
decrease to approximately 0.3:1.- The Fund is reaffirming its EBITDA guidance for 2006 of $22 million to $23
million with a bias towards the upper end of its targeted range.QUARTER SUMMARY(in thousands of 13 Weeks 13 Weeks 39 Weeks 39 Weeks dollars except Ended Ended Ended Ended per unit/share Sept 30, Sept 24, Sept 30, Sept 24, amounts) 2006 2005 2006 2005Revenue 58,770 56,795 163,428 151,065EBITDA 6,567 6,110 17,871 14,407EBITDA margin 11.2% 10.8% 10.9% 9.5%Earnings before non-controlling interest 4,331 1,205 11,628 3,604Loss from discontinued operations 696 604 1,357 1,397Net earnings: Total 3,553 601 10,079 2,121 Per unit/share 0.24 0.05 0.67 0.18Distributable cash: Total 5,334 (i) 14,623 (i) Per unit/share 0.3556 (i) 0.9749 (i)Cash distributions: Total 4,409 (i) 13,228 (i) Per unit/share 0.2940 (i) 0.8820 (i)Payout ratio 82.7% (i) 90.5% (i)(i) Not applicable as the Fund converted to an income trust on July 27, 2005."The primary driver of the continued improvement in our sales, EBITDA and EBITDA
margin is our commitment to two core business strategies:The acquisition and development of branded specialty food businesses that have a
leading position in a niche market segment; andThe acquisition and development of unique distribution and wholesale networks
that provide our specialty food businesses with proprietary access to a large
and diversified customer base."Our results for the third quarter show the strength of these strategies as we
continued to achieve record sales and EBITDA levels. We are particularly pleased
with the growth in our EBITDA and EBITDA margin given that several of our
businesses experienced significant inflationary pressures on a variety of their
input costs," stated Mr. George Paleologou, President.

Absprachen unter Heuschrecken?

Zwei Jahre nach der Heuschrecken-Debatte in Deutschland hat nun auch Amerika ein Problem mit den Private-Equity-Firmen. Im Mutterland des Kapitalismus macht man sich allerdings nicht über das unmoralische Vorgehen bei den privaten Übernahmen Gedanken, sondern um deren rechtlichen Status – das Justizministerium ermittelt.

Aufhänger für die Debatte dieser Tage ist eine Übernahme, die schon acht Monate zurückliegt. Anfang dieses Jahres haben Clayton Dubilier & Rice Inc., die Carlyle Group und Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity für 15 Milliarden Dollar die Mietwagen-Tochter Hertz vom strauchelnden Autoriesen Ford übernommen. Das war seinerzeit eine Meldung, mehr aber auch nicht, denn dass private Investorengruppen börsennotierte Unternehmen oder auch Teile derselben aufkaufen, kommt in den USA regelmäßig vor.

Mittlerweile haben sich die Privatisierungen aber gehäuft, und den amerikanischen Behörden macht Sorge, dass sie stets nach dem selben Muster ablaufen. Eine Reihe von Firmen, und zwar immer drei oder vier aus einem Pool von nicht mehr als zehn Kandidaten, schlagen gemeinsam zu – mittlerweile drängt sich der Verdacht auch, dass sich die Investoren untereinander absprechen.

Das Justizministerium hat nun Ermittlungen beim Private-Equity-Ableger von Merrill Lynch aufgenommen. Das Traditionshaus an der Wall Street steht damit auf einer Liste mit den Hertz-Partnern Carlyle Group und Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, aber auch Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. und Silver Lake Partners, die bereits seit einigen Wochen untersucht werden.

Dass sich Washington in die Geschäfte einschaltet, macht den Unternehmen Kummer, und man reagiert umgehend. Die Kommunikation aus den Firmen ist in den letzten Tagen deutlich zurück gegangen, berichtet das Wall Street Journal. Außerdem haben die Branchenriesen reihenweise zusätzliche Anwälte eingeschaltet, die jeden Schritt überwachen. Vor allem einen Punkt prüfen zur Zeit alle Seiten, nämlich die Absprachen unter den Investorengruppen vor den jeweiligen Millionen- und Milliarden-Deals.

Nach Einschätzung des Justizministeriums dürfte es in der Vergangenheit regelmäßig illegale Absprachen gegeben haben. So sollen Investoren immer wieder zugunsten eines Konkurrenten darauf verzichtet haben, eigene Gebote einzureichen, um die Preise klein zu halten. Das macht aus Sicht der Investoren Sinn, denn deren Interesse an Unternehmen und Unternehmensteilen besteht darin, möglichst günstig zuzuschlagen, die Kosten zu senken, die Profitabilität zu erhöhen und mit Gewinn zu verkaufen.

Leidtragende hingegen wären jeweils die Aktionäre der Unternehmen, die ganz oder teilweise übernommen werden, und die – trotz einer oft satten Prämie über den jeweils relevanten Schlusskurs – zumindest in einigen Fällen mehr Erlös hätten erzielen können.

unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2006 prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All dollar
amounts included are in U.S. dollars.Third Quarter 2006 Results--------------------------Revenues were US$2.96 billion for the third quarter of 2006 compared to US$2.52
billion for the third quarter of 2005 and US$2.74 billion for the second quarter
of 2006. The Company reported a net loss in the third quarter of 2006 of US$99
million, or US$0.02 per common share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss
of US$136 million, or US$0.03 per common share on a diluted basis, in the third
quarter of 2005 and net earnings of US$366 million, or US$0.08 per common share
on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2006.Net loss in the third quarter of 2006 included a benefit of approximately US$43
million related to the announced changes to the North American employee benefit
plans, a gain of US$16 million on the sale of assets, a shareholder litigation
expense of US$38 million reflecting a mark-to-market adjustment of the share
portion of the global class action settlement and special charges of US$25
million for restructuring. The net loss in the third quarter of 2005 included
special charges of US$39 million related to restructuring activities and a net
charge of US$20 million related to the re-filing of the Company's tax returns as
a result of the financial restatements. Net earnings in the second quarter of

mark-to-market adjustment of the share portion of the global class action
settlement, special charges of US$45 million for restructuring and a loss of
US$10 million on the sale of assets."I am pleased with our overall revenue growth and, in particular, in our focus
areas of next generation mobility, enterprise and related services, and metro
optical. I am also pleased with the 270 basis points operating margin
improvement versus the third quarter of 2005. However, we should and will be
moving faster. Pricing pressures and the speed at which our revenues are
shifting to next generation, early cycle products is increasing our challenge to
drive profitability improvements," said Mike Zafirovski, president and chief
executive officer, Nortel. "The management team and I are resolute in achieving
a globally competitive cost structure and we are accelerating and enhancing our
Business Transformation and Lean Six Sigma programs to close this gap and
achieving double digit operating margins in 2008. I believe recent steps of
establishing the Microsoft alliance, divesting our UMTS access business, and
increasingly shifting resources to lower cost centers are indicative of our
resolve."Breakdown of Third Quarter 2006 RevenuesCommencing in the third quarter of 2006, the Company's reportable segments were
aligned to reflect previously announced organizational changes. The new
reportable segments are Mobility and Converged Core Networks (MCCN), Metro
Ethernet Networks (MEN), Enterprise Solutions (ES) and Global Services (GS). For
further details, see the attached financial tables.MCCN revenues were US$1,540 million, an increase of 23 percent compared with the
year-ago quarter and an increase of 7 percent sequentially. ES revenues were
US$609 million, an increase of 14 percent compared with the year-ago quarter and
an increase of 28 percent sequentially. MEN revenues were US$430 million, an
increase of 18 percent compared with the year-ago quarter and a decrease of 8
percent sequentially. GS revenues were US$316 million, an increase of 4 percent
compared with the year-ago quarter and an increase of 2 percent sequentially.
Deferred revenues decreased sequentially by US$136 million and by US$10 million
since the beginning of the year. Order input for the quarter was US$2.35
billion, essentially flat from US$2.36 billion in the third quarter of 2005 and
down significantly from the US$2.82 billion in the second quarter of 2006,
primarily due to the higher than normal volume of CDMA orders received in second
quarter. The US$2.82 billion of order input in the second quarter of 2006
includes a correction resulting in a reduction of US$123 million from the
previously announced second quarter order input.Gross marginGross margin was 38 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2006. This
compares to gross margin of 39 percent for the third quarter of 2005 and 39
percent for the second quarter of 2006. Compared to the third quarter of 2005,
gross margin was impacted primarily by pricing pressures and product mix, which
was partially offset by higher sales volumes and a project loss recorded in the
third quarter of 2005 related to a wireless contract in India.Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)SG&A expenses were US$605 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared to
US$567 million for the third quarter of 2005, and US$596 million for the second
quarter of 2006. Compared to the third quarter of 2005, SG&A was impacted by the
consolidation of the LG-Nortel joint venture and higher costs related to our
business transformation initiatives, partially offset by lower restatement
related and employee benefit plan costs.Research and development (R&D)R&D expenses were US$480 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared to
US$443 million for the third quarter of 2005 and US$489 million for the second
quarter of 2006. Compared to the third quarter of 2005, R&D was impacted by
increased investment in targeted product areas, the impact of the consolidation
of the LG-Nortel joint venture, partially offset by lower employee benefit plan
costs.

Ahead of the Bell: Teva Pharmaceuticals

Wednesday November 8, 7:55 am ET

Wachovia, JP Morgan Downgrade Teva Pharmaceuticals, Calling Forces Behind 3Q Unsustainable


NEW YORK (AP) -- Two analysts at major research houses downgraded generic drug marketer Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. on Wednesday, saying the forces behind the company's third-quarter earnings windfall are unsustainable.


Teva early Tuesday posted earnings of 74 cents per share, well ahead of analysts' expectations despite sales falling slightly below forecasts. The bottom line jumped higher than the top line because of a lower tax rate and higher gross margins.

Analysts from J.P. Morgan and Wachovia Securities downgraded the world's biggest drug maker, based in Israel, because they said tax rates and gross margins will revert to more realistic levels in the future, while sales decline.

Teva's tax rate was only 12.5 percent, compared with Wachovia analyst Michael Tong's expectations for a tax rate of 18.5 percent. The lower rate stemmed from the mix of products and geography, and should return to the high teens in 2007, Tong said.

The company reported gross margins of 55 percent, up from Tong's estimate of 52 percent, because Teva launched several exclusive generic drugs during the quarter. However, those exclusivity rights aren't permanent benefits.

After a drug's patent expires, a generic drug maker such as Teva typically obtains the right to market a generic spinoff exclusively for about six months. Once that right expires, other generic drug developers jump in, creating price competition.

Teva expects gross margins to return to a range of 47 percent to 50 percent in 2007 as exclusivity rights expire and rival companies fight for market share and drag down prices for generic versions of drugs like Pravachol, Zocor and Zoloft.

Tong downgraded Teva to "Market Perform" from "Outperform." J.P. Morgan analyst Adam Green also downgraded Teva, to "Neutral" from "Overweight."

Teva shares fell 68 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $32.12 in pre-market trading Wednesday, after closing at $32.80 on the Nasdaq Tuesday.

Heiße Empfehlung für Starbucks
Weitwinkel

Motley Fool empfiehlt die Aktie von Starbucks. Kennen Sie Motley Fool? Das ist eine äußerst populäre Website über Finanzen in den USA.

Ob die Jungs dort immer recht haben - sie tun so - kann ich nicht beurteilen. Aber viele Leute glauben daran, das allein kann schon Kurse bewegen.

Ich habe mich immer gefragt, woher der Erfolg von Starbucks rührt? Vielleicht muss man es so sehen: Starbucks hat den Amerikanern endlich mal vernünftigen Kaffee angeboten - früher war US-Kaffee ja eine dünne Brühe. Und damit hatten in den USA Erfolg. Und dann hatten sie überall auf der Welt Erfolg, wo die Leute glauben, was aus den USA kommt, muss cool sein - auch in Ländern, wo es früher bereits guten Kaffee gab.

Man fragt sich nur, woher jetzt noch Wachstumspotenzial für Starbucks kommen soll. Schließlich gibt es die Dinger schon an jeder zweiten Ecke. Sie leben heute auch davon, dass die amerikanischen Büros so eng sind - da weicht man schon mal aus, um sich mit jemandem zu treffen. Lap tops gehören ja auch zur festen Ausrüstung von Starbucks-Besuchern (offenbar besonders gerne kleine Macs, jedenfalls in NY), und "Hot Spots" für den Internet-Anschluss unterstützten das noch.

Vielleicht ist das auch Teil des Erfolgs: Bei Starbucks kann man sitzenbleiben, wenn der Kaffee aufgetrunken ist, und muss nicht gleich wieder gehen. Das ist zwar in jedem Wiener Kaffeehaus (und vielen anderen Cafés auf der Welt) seit Jahrhunderten so. Aber wie gesagt: Wenn Amerika Dinge entdeckt, die es woanders längst gibt, dann kann man das überall auf der Welt verkaufen...

Bittere Pillen für Pfizer & Co.

Ob da noch Medikamente helfen? Den zweiten Tag in Folge stellen die Pharmazeuten die drei größten Verlierer im Dow. Ohne die Rückendeckung der republikanischen Regierung wird es die Branche in nächster Zeit nicht leicht haben. Anleger wissen das und stoßen ab, was an Pharma-Aktien im Portfolio liegt.

Dass Investoren bei Pfizer, Merck und Co. aussteigen, hat einen ganz einfachen Grund. An die jüngsten Gewinne können die Unternehmen wohl nicht mehr anknüpfen, wenn sie bald wie andere Unternehmen auch in einem nicht regulierten marktwirtschaftlichen Umfeld operieren müssen. Das mussten sie bisher nicht, denn mit großzügigen Spenden an Bush und seine Freunde hatten die Unternehmen den mächtigeren Teil Washingtons auf ihre Seite gebracht und sich ein Biotop anlegen lassen, in dem Gewinnmargen gedeihen konnten wie in kaum einer anderen Branche.

Dazu setzten die Republikaner kurzerhand sämtliche Gesetze der freien Marktwirtschaft auseinander, bis hin zur goldenen Regel, nach der Angebot und Nachfrage den Preis einer Ware bestimmten. In der Pharma-Industrie machten in den letzten Jahren nämlich ganz einfach die Unternehmen den Preis – und der Kunde fügte sich. Nicht nur der kleine Mann, wohlgemerkt, sondern auch die größten Abnehmer, allen voran die staatlichen Krankenkassen.

Denen war es unter den Republikanern per Gesetz verboten, direkt mit den Pharmazeuten über Preise zu verhandeln. Die Unternehmen verlangten einfach was sie wollten, und die Kassen zahlten. Alternativen gab es nicht, zumal die Regierung auch den Import von Medikamenten aus dem Ausland verboten hatte.

Selbst aus dem Nachbarsland Kanada konnten Amis ihre Pillen in den letzten Jahren nicht beziehen – aus Sicherheitsgründen, wie die Bush-Regierung zu betonen nicht müde wurde. Das war natürlich völliger Unsinn, denn die Medikamente, die die Amerikaner gerne aus Kanada importiert hätten, waren nichts anderes als die Produkte der amerikanischen Unternehmen, die sie vorher nach Kanada exportiert und dort zu einem deutlich geringeren Preis auf dem Markt hatten.

Mit dem Machtwechsel in Washington werden solche Sonderkonditionen für die Industrie bald Geschichte sein. Die Unternehmen müssen sich auf normale marktwirtschaftliche Konditionen einstellen, und darunter werden die Margen leiden. Aktien haben bis dahin nur eine Chance: Anleger könnten nach Einbrüchen um ein paar Prozent doch wieder einsteigen und darauf bauen, dass es selbst ein demokratischer Kongress in D.C. nicht leicht haben wird, der Pharmabranche das Handwerk zu legen, solange Präsident Bush ein Veto-Recht hat.

ANALYSE: Prudential hebt Cisco-Ziel nach Zahlen auf 26 US-Dollar; 'Overweight'
Prudential hat das Kursziel der Aktie von Cisco Systems <CSCO.NAS> <CIS.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) nach sehr guten Quartalszahlen von 24,00 auf 26,00 US-Dollar angehoben und das Anlage-Urteil mit "Overweight" bestätigt. Stärke auf breiter Basis sowie eine gute Auftragseingangssituation und hohe Cash-Generierung hätten dem weltgrößten Netzwerkausrüster zu seinem herausragenden Ergebnis im ersten Geschäftsquartal 2006/07 verholfen, hieß es in einer Studie am Donnerstag.

Cisco habe seine Gesamtjahresprognose für den Umsatz bestätigt mit einem Hinweis, dass der Ertrag am oberen Ende der angegebenen Spanne liegen könnte, schrieb Analyst Inder Singh. "Wir rechnen damit, dass das Umsatzwachstum von Cisco am oberen Ende oder darüber liegen wird und kalkulieren mit 21 Prozent Wachstum für 2006/07. Das Wachstum in Ciscos Kerngeschäft sollte bei 16 Prozent liegen", so Singh.

Die Aktien des Unternehmens hätten von den starken Quartalszahlen und auch einer technischen Rally profitiert und dürften zunächst auch weiter zulegen, meint der Experte. Das Konzernwachstum im Jahresvergleich dürfte aber in der zweiten Hälfte des laufenden Geschäftsjahres eine größere Herausforderung werden.

Entsprechend der Einstufung "Overweight" rechnet Prudential Equity auf Sicht von zwölf bis achtzehn Monaten mit einem überdurchschnittlichen Gesamtertrag der Aktien. Als Renditemaßstab ziehen die Analysten die anderen von ihnen bewerteten Titel heran./ck/he

Cisco Sizzles

By Will Swarts
November 9, 2006
Cisco Systems (CSCO1)


Share price as of Wednesday's close: $25.10
Share price now: $26.71
Percent change: 6.4%
Volume: 197.2 million shares, daily average 48.1 million

The News
Investors routed Cisco Systems (CSCO2) right to the top Thursday after the network-equipment maker beat Wall Street profit estimates. The 6% jump sent shares of the tech behemoth to levels not seen since January 2004.

Cisco reported late Wednesday earnings for its fiscal first quarter ended Oct. 28 of 31 cents a share, ahead of the average analyst estimate of 29 cents, according to Reuters Estimates. The company earned 25 cents a share for the year-ago quarter.

It's a solid start to the new fiscal year for the Silicon Valley powerhouse, which beat Wall Street's profit predictions in every quarter of fiscal 2006. The news was trumpeted as a harbinger of bright prospects for Cisco and the tech sector, and garnered Cisco an upgrade from UBS analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos, who on Thursday bumped the stock to Buy from Neutral.

The company has been able to create networking products that have prompted its business customers to spend more money or switch network providers, which has added momentum as it captures markets share. Revenues for the October quarter hit $8.2 billion, ahead of the $7.9 billion estimate compiled by earnings tracker First Call.

Chief Executive John Chambers said on a Wednesday conference call that the current quarter's revenue was likely to be 24% to 25% better than the same period last year due to broad sales growth in its traditional routers and switches business, as well as its Scientific-Atlanta cable set-top box unit, which it acquired in November 2005.

"Our vision of how the industry was going to evolve appears to be playing out very much as we expected," Chambers said in a statement posted on the company's web site. "Many of the market transitions we anticipated are converging today as more and more communications and IT capabilities are moving into the network."

Research reports weren't shy in their bullish calls: "Honey, I Shrunk the Competition," "Impressive Execution Continues," "Firing on All Cylinders" and "Cisco Is This Quarter's Winner" were only a few of the titles analysts used to extol one of the Street's most popular stocks.

The Analysis
There's much to like here as Cisco asserts its dominance in a free-spending market for information-technology providers, though a few issues bear continued attention.

At first glance, though, Wall Street sees Cisco as a company with the silicon-scented wind at its back.

"Few businesses Cisco's size can claim to have achieved what it did in 1Q07 — outperformance in nearly every product line," CIBC World Markets analyst Ittai Kidon wrote in a note published Thursday. "From routers and switches to digital set-tops and storage networks, the company had a breakout quarter, with strong order trends and market share gains — this despite a weakening U.S. enterprise spending outlook and intensifying competition in a number of segments."

The company reported broad growth in its business segments and across its global regions, with 40% growth in emerging markets, and even low-single-digit growth in Japan, which has been a tough market for Cisco. Sanjiv Wadwhani, an analyst at Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard, wrote that this was especially impressive in what's been a traditionally weak quarter for the company.

National Bank Financial analyst Tom Astle singled out another aspect of growth that reflects Chambers' belief that long-term plans are now paying off.

"Of particular note (for us) was the service provider strength," Astle wrote in a Thursday note that singled out its 23% global order growth in service provider segments, a figure that was fueled by 30% order growth among U.S. service providers. "Clearly, it is gaining ground as a major supplier to carriers. To put this in perspective, Cisco's service provider business is now over $2 billion a quarter and about the same size as Nortel's (NT3) and Lucent's (LU4) carrier business."

Scientific-Atlanta shipped 1.3 million set-top boxes in the quarter, driven by increased adoption of high-definition devices and digital video recorders and a positive indication of cable companies' spending behavior, according to a research note by Raimundo Archibold of Kaufman Bros. Equity Research. He also wrote that Cisco's recent hiring push reflected a strong demand environment that could lift smaller competitors such as Arris Group (ARRS5) and Adtran (ADTN6).

The Bottom Line
Cisco's main worries right now have little to do with its own operations, which Wall Street says are chugging along nicely.

Though a slight dip in margins — a 0.2% difference between its projected 65% gross margin and its 64.8% reported — is something Aaron Rakers of A.G. Edwards & Sons says bears watching. The gap, he adds, probably doesn't herald a serious slip though.

"I spoke to their CFO [Dennis Powell] and he gave me comfort last night that there was nothing structural that would cause a tremendous amount of concern," Rakers says.

Another consideration about Cisco's fair valuation is that the company will soon curtail its share buybacks, on which it's spent $37 billion since September 2001. When a company buys shares and takes them off the market, it drives up prices, though Rakers says most companies only do this enough to offset dilutions caused by the exercise of stock options.

"Over that time, their diluted share count has declined 17%, which is impressive," he says, though that pace should trail off over this fiscal year.

What won't trail off, and which should give Cisco fans heart, is the idea that voice and data networks will keep merging, melding and converging, and Cisco is poised to capitalize on the trend as companies decide to lay out the capital to improve and integrate IT systems.

"I think we're still at the early stages of next-generation network building," Rakers says.

Sun to offer Java on open-source basis


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov 13, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Sun Microsystems Inc.,
the U.S. software company, will offer its Java software on an open-source basis.Java is a programming language common in smart cards and cellphones. But
open-source products have eclipsed Java for many applications. Embracing an
open-source approach lets Sun keep current, broaden its appeal and lower the
cost of using Java, the Wall Street Journal said Monday."The fact that we are changing the license and making this a free and

Drei IPOs erzählen drei Geschichten

Drei Unternehmen aus drei verschiedenen Branchen wagen zum Wochenschluss den Sprung an die Börse. Doch die drei IPOs sind höchst unterschiedlich bewertet und geben einen guten Einblick darauf, was an der Wall Street in und out ist. Alles was mit Autos zu tun hat, langweilt Anleger – alles was mit Öl zu tun hat, ist gefragt.

So kommt es, das ausgerechnet die prominenteste und größte Firma vor ihrer Erstnotierung am schwächsten da steht. Der Autovermieter Hertz, der bis vor einem Jahr zu Ford gehörte und dann von einer Investorengruppe um Merrill Lynch und die Carlysle Group ausgekauft wurde, wird 88,2 Millionen Aktien für 15 Dollar an den Mann bringen. Damit ist er Ausgabepreis geringer als erwartet, man hatte ursprünglich eine Spanne zwischen 16 und 18 Dollar pro Papier angestrebt.

Für die zwischenzeitlichen Eigner lohnt sich das Geschäft, denn die verdienen durch den immerhin 1,32 Milliarden Dollar schweren Börsengang dicke Boni. Doch gerade deshalb winken Analysten an der Wall Street ab, zumal das Mietwagen-Geschäft nun einmal nicht zu den Branchen gehört, auf die in naher Zukunft unerwartetes Wachstum zukommen dürfte.

Im Öl-Sektor sieht es da ganz anders aus: Die Halliburton-Tochter KBR wird 27,84 Millionen Aktien zu 17 Dollar platzieren und schafft damit einen Preis am oberen Ende der angepeilten Spanne – daran ändert auch der Machtwechsel in Washington nicht, der Halliburton künftig wohl den direkten Zugang zum Pentagon blocken wird.

Auch das wichtigste IPO der Woche hat mit Öl zu tun, darüber hinaus aber noch mit anderen Rohstoffen. Die Rohstoff-Börse NYMEX gibt erstmals Papiere aus. Damit tritt ein traditionsreicher Handelsplatz aus seinem Schattendasein, der seit 1872 in New York ansässig ist, aber für Privat-Anleger erst eine Rolle spielt, seit Derivate das Interesse an Rohstoffen gehoben haben und der Ölpreis zudem volatiler geworden ist und Konjunktur und Aktienmarkt stärker beeinflusst.

Das Interesse an NYMEX-Aktien ist im Vorfeld so groß, dass die Emmission in den letzten Tagen noch einmal um 10 Prozent vergrößert werden musste. Man gibt nun 6,5 Millionen Aktien zwischen 54 und 57 Dollar aus. Analysten halten diesen Preis für viel zu niedrig, was in den letzten Stunden vor der Erstnotierung den Run noch einmal verstärken dürfte.

Dabei könnten die Analysten durchaus Recht behalten. Die Geschäfte an der NYMEX laufen auf Hoch-Touren, und die Börsengänge anderer Handelsplätze in jüngster Zeit haben Anlegern beachtliche Renditen gebracht. Drei Rohstoff- und Optionsmärkte sind in den letzten anderthalb Jahren an den Start gegangen, die International Securities Exchange, das Chicago Board of Trade und die IntercontinentalExchange – im Schnitt haben die Papiere seither um 150 Prozent zugelegt. Die NYMEX-Aktie könnte ebenso gut oder noch besser laufen, zumal viele Kritiker der Rohstoff-Börse lange vorgeworfen haben, zu spät ins elektronische System eingestiegen zu sein. Das hat man aber nun von der CBOT lizensiert, seither sind die Umsätze gestiegen.

Die Starbucks Corp. (ISIN US8552441094 / WKN 884437)

hat am Donnerstag nach US-Börsenschluss die Zahlen für das vierte Fiskalquartal 2005/06 veröffentlicht. Die US-Kaffeehauskette musste dabei trotz steigender Umsätze einen Gewinnrückgang hinnehmen, was mit neuen Bilanzierungsmethoden zusammenhängt.


Der Nettogewinn fiel demnach von 123,7 Dollar bzw. 16 Cents je Aktie auf 117,3 Dollar bzw. 15 Cents je Aktie. Die Analysten hatten im Vorfeld einen Gewinn von 17 Cents je Aktie erwartet.

Die Umsatzerlöse stiegen um von 1,66 Mrd. Dollar auf nun 2,00 Mrd. Dollar. Die Same-Store Sales stiegen um 6 Prozent. Die Analystenerwartungen hatten sich zuvor auf 2,02 Mrd. Dollar belaufen.

Für das derzeit laufende erste Fiskalquartal 2006/07 erwarten die Analysten einen durchschnittlichen Gewinn von 26 Cents je Aktie bei Umsatzerlösen von 2,33 Mrd. Dollar.

Für das Gesamtjahr erwartet der Starbucks ein Umsatzwachstum von 20 Prozent. Die vergleichbaren Umsätze sollen um 3 bis 7 Prozent steigen. Das EPS wird bei 87 bis 89 Cents je Aktie gesehen. Die Analysten erwarten hier einen Wert von 89 Cents.

Die Starbucks-Aktie schloss heute an der NASDAQ bei 39,43 Dollar. Nachbörslich verliert die Aktie 6,42 Prozent auf 36,90 Dollar. (16.11.2006/ac/n/a)

Heiße Empfehlung für Starbucks
Weitwinkel

Motley Fool empfiehlt die Aktie von Starbucks. Kennen Sie Motley Fool? Das ist eine äußerst populäre Website über Finanzen in den USA.

Ob die Jungs dort immer recht haben - sie tun so - kann ich nicht beurteilen. Aber viele Leute glauben daran, das allein kann schon Kurse bewegen.

Ich habe mich immer gefragt, woher der Erfolg von Starbucks rührt? Vielleicht muss man es so sehen: Starbucks hat den Amerikanern endlich mal vernünftigen Kaffee angeboten - früher war US-Kaffee ja eine dünne Brühe. Und damit hatten in den USA Erfolg. Und dann hatten sie überall auf der Welt Erfolg, wo die Leute glauben, was aus den USA kommt, muss cool sein - auch in Ländern, wo es früher bereits guten Kaffee gab.

Man fragt sich nur, woher jetzt noch Wachstumspotenzial für Starbucks kommen soll. Schließlich gibt es die Dinger schon an jeder zweiten Ecke. Sie leben heute auch davon, dass die amerikanischen Büros so eng sind - da weicht man schon mal aus, um sich mit jemandem zu treffen. Lap tops gehören ja auch zur festen Ausrüstung von Starbucks-Besuchern (offenbar besonders gerne kleine Macs, jedenfalls in NY), und "Hot Spots" für den Internet-Anschluss unterstützten das noch.

Vielleicht ist das auch Teil des Erfolgs: Bei Starbucks kann man sitzenbleiben, wenn der Kaffee aufgetrunken ist, und muss nicht gleich wieder gehen. Das ist zwar in jedem Wiener Kaffeehaus (und vielen anderen Cafés auf der Welt) seit Jahrhunderten so. Aber wie gesagt: Wenn Amerika Dinge entdeckt, die es woanders längst gibt, dann kann man das überall auf der Welt verkaufen...

Allied Energy Group, Inc. Receives $1.85 Mid-Term Target Price Market Advisors Research: "Fundamental Analysis for Today's Investments"


BOWLING GREEN, KY, Nov 17, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Allied Energy
Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AGGI)

Investment Highlights-- Allied Energy Group has projects on prime land positions in the
world's most profound oil & gas resources -- and both are protected right
here in the United States.-- Over 100 years of combined oil and gas experience, extensive research
into the dynamics of how competing companies have previously developed
programs for the financial services industry, and a concise understanding
of today's oil and gas marketplace are the foundations of Allied's success.-- The company enjoys strategic partnerships with solid companies that
bring a higher standard of performance to each and every project AGGI is
involved in.Allied Energy Group is a publicly traded independent energy development firm
formed in 2003, headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. AGGI's primary
activity is the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas
in the continental United States. The company is focused on making a major oil
or gas discovery by utilizing its proven industry track record, business
experience, and management expertise of each individual Management and Advisory
Committee member to acquire proven oil and gas properties and sponsor an
international energy fund. The company has plans to continue minimizing and
spreading financial risk by joint venturing in its oil exploration projects with
other companies. An example of this is the recent partnership announcement with
Halliburton Operating Company. This joint venture outlines plans to drill an
additional 6,000' +/- vertical well to test the Strawn Limestone in Schleicher
County, Texas. Securing this package in the heart of Texas' immense petroleum
belt, Allied Energy is ideally positioned to return substantial profits to its
investors. Already we are in a prolonged cycle of higher energy prices that
should last at least to the end of this decade, and probably a lot longer.Strong Oil and Gas DemandAllied Energy's future discoveries and very positive properties place it in an
excellent position to benefit from current demand for oil and gas. Experts have
estimated that 85% of the world's known oil reserves were discovered more than
20 years ago. At the start of this decade, there were about 20 large
discoveries. Yet in 2003, for example, there were none. World oil consumption is
currently outstripping new discoveries by a factor of 4-to-1; meaning 4 barrels
of oil are disappearing for every one that's found. It's also no secret that the
rest of the world is desperately trying to lock up as much as they can in a
frenzied attempt to secure their economic futures as well. Even if their
economies cool down significantly, countries in Asia are on track to become
massive consumers of petroleum, rivaling the United States. Recent reports
indicate that China has already jumped into the position of the world's number
two oil importer, displacing Japan. With the ever present turmoil and war in the
Middle East, we can expect further disruptions and subsequent risks to world oil
supplies. Allied Energy is in the midst of extensive oil and gas drill programs
on several exploration targets with world-class potential for size and is funded
to complete these programs. Success in any one of them could be a company maker,
and major discoveries on two would be phenomenal.

About Allied Energy GroupAllied Energy Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AGGI) is an independent energy
development firm primarily engaged in the exploration, development, and
production of oil and natural gas in the continental United States. The company
relies upon its geologists, petroleum engineers, seismic specialists, and
financial analysts whose combined industry experience is essential to the
success of each project. Allied Energy Group's strategic focus is the
development of oil and natural gas reserves. As the fuel of choice to meet the
growing demand for a clean-burning domestically produced fuel, the company
firmly believes its natural gas exploration strategy should provide substantial
growth to the company for the years to come.For more information: www.alliedenergy.com

ANALYSE: RBC bestätigt Starbucks nach Zahlen mit 'Outperform'
RBC Capital Markets hat die Aktie von Starbucks <SBUX.NAS> <SRB.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) nach Vorlage von Zahlen mit "Outperform" und einem Kursziel von 39 Dollar bestätigt. Das Ziel für den Gewinn je Aktie im kommenden Jahr, das die Kaffeehauskette bestätigt habe, sei konservativ, begründete Analyst Larry Miller in einer Studie vom Freitag seine Einschätzung.

Zudem könnte das Unternehmen in den kommenden Quartalen bei den Margen positiv überraschen. Allerdings könnte die schwachen Margenentwicklung, die die jüngsten Quartalszahlen belegten, sich in den kommenden zwei Quartalen fortsetzen, hieß es weiter.

Entsprechend der Einstufung "Outperform" erwarten die Analysten von RBC Capital Markets, dass sich die Aktie in den nächsten zwölf Monaten deutlich besser als der Durchschnitt des Sektors entwickeln wird./gl/he

Birch Mountain clarifies 2006 sales


CALGARY, Nov. 16, 2006 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Birch Mountain Resources
Ltd. ("Birch Mountain" or "the Company") (BMD: TSXV and AMEX) seeks to clarify
sales results reported in its news release of November 13, 2006. "Our third
quarter financials reported total revenues and orders on hand, but did not
provide sales tonnages," explained Doug Rowe, President and CEO, "and we
understand this may have led to some confusion. This is our first full quarter
with revenues and I am pleased with the sales and orders we have achieved in our
transition to an early-stage operating company."2006 AGGREGATE ORDERS & SALESIn the third quarter of 2006, Birch Mountain recorded revenues of $795,812 from
sales of 276,635 tonnes of aggregate for an average unit price of $2.88 per
tonne. The majority of aggregate sold in Q3 was sub-base aggregate sold as
pit-run (uncrushed and unprocessed rock) that would otherwise have been hauled
to a sub-base stockpile at a cost to Birch Mountain. Current price quotations
for sub-base from the Muskeg Valley Quarry ("MVQ") exceed $4.00 per tonne.At the end of Q3, Birch Mountain's aggregates order book totalled over 600,000
tonnes. Orders-in-hand include higher priced construction and base aggregates,
as well as concrete rock, with a tonnage-weighted average price of approximately
$9.50 per tonne

Run auf Nymex-Aktien

Ein spektakulärer Börsengang findet am Freitag an der Wall Street statt. Die New Yorker Rohstoff-Terminbörse Nymex strebt aufs Parkett. Die Nachfrage war so groß, dass die Aktien teurer verkauft werden können als geplant.

Als Ausgabepreis wurden 59 Dollar festgelegt. Das ist deutlich über der Preisspanne von 54 bis 57 Dollar. Dabei war diese vor wenigen Tagen gerade erst angehoben worden. Ursprünglich lag sie bei 48 bis 52 Dollar.

Dank des unerwartet hohen Ausgabepreises wird das Unternehmen deutlich mehr einnehmen als angenommen. Rund 383 Millionen Dollar sollen an Erlösen aus dem Börsengang an die Nymex fließen.

Unternehmen über fünf Milliarden Dollar wert
Die US-Börse platziert sieben Prozent des Unternehmens an der Börse. Rund 6,5 Millionen Aktien bietet die Nymex an. Davon stammen 1,1 Millionen von verschiedenen Eigentümern. Gemessen am Verkaufspreis würde Nymex eine Marktkapitalisierung von etwa 5,1 Milliarden Dollar erreichen.

Die Einnahmen aus dem Börsengang will die US-Börse für den Ausbau ihres Wachstums und für weitere Investitionen verwenden. Auch Zukäufe seien nicht ausgeschlossen.

Die Nymex ist die letzte der traditionsreichen US-Börsen, die selbst an die Börse gehen. Anfang März war die Nyse, die die New Yorker Börse betreibt, aufs Parkett gegangen. Der Kurs ist seither um fast 50 Prozent gestiegen.

CME und CBOT als Vorbild
Noch stärkere Kurszuwächse verzeichneten die Terminbörsen CME und CBOT, die 2002 bzw. 2005 an die Börse gingen. Der Kurs von CME hat sich verfünfzehnfacht von 35 Dollar auf über 500 Dollar, der Kurs von CBOT hat sich nahezu verdoppelt seit dem IPO.

Fusionsfantasie hat die Kurse der Finanzmarktbetreiber in jüngster Zeit zusätzlich angeheizt. Die beiden Chicagoer Konkurrenten CBOT und CME haben Mitte Oktober einen Zusammenschluss angekündigt. Auch die Nyse hat große Pläne und will die europäische Euronext übernehmen.

Erste Adresse für Rohölfutures
Die Nymex ist der weltgrößte Terminhandelsplatz für Rohöl, Erdgas und Benzin. An der Nymex wird unter anderem der wichtige Rohölfuture auf US-Leichtöl gehandelt. Inzwischen gibt es aber Konkurrenz für die Rohstoff-Terminbörse. Die Intercontinental Exchange bietet ebenfalls lukrative US-Rohölfutures an und hat das Quasi-Monopol der Nymex in diesem Bereich gebrochen.


Ausgabepreis 59 Dollar :shock:

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Kaum verändert erwartet
Die US-Börsen dürften am Dienstag kaum verändert in den Tag starten. Börsianer rechnen mit einem impulslosen, ruhigen Handelsverlauf, da es keine wesentlichen Unternehmensnachrichten gibt. Zudem bleiben die US-Märkte am Donnerstag wegen Thanksgiving geschlossen und am Freitag steht nur ein verkürzter Handelstag an.

Der Future auf den S&P 500 <INX.IND> legte bis 14.30 Uhr um 0,04 Prozent auf 1.405,90 Punkte zu. Der marktbreite Index hatte am Montag 0,05 Prozent auf 1.401,20 Punkte abgegeben. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> stieg um 0,10 Prozent auf 1.813,00 Zähler. Tags zuvor hatte der NASDAQ-Auswahlindex 0,17 Prozent gewonnen auf 1.803,81 Zähler.

Mit Blick auf die Konjunkturdaten steht kurz nach Handelsstart die Veröffentlichung des Chicago Fed Indexes für den Monat Oktober an. Zuvor dürften mangels Nachrichten vor allem die Aktien von Verizon Communications <VZ.NYS> <BAC.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) im Fokus stehen. Sie legten bereits im vorbörslichen Handel um 0,52 Prozent auf 34,85 Dollar zu und profitierten damit von einem positiven Kommentar der Credit Suisse. Die Analysten hatten die Titel des Telekom-Unternehmens von "Neutral" auf "Outperform" hochgestuft und das Kursziel von 38 auf 43 Dollar angehoben.

Unter den Einzelaktien könnten auch Intel <INTC.NAS> <INL.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Der weltgrößte Chiphersteller hat seinen Vorsprung zum Rivalen AMD <AMD.NYS> <AMD.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) nach eigenen Angaben zumindest in Deutschland wieder ausgebaut. "Seit Jahresbeginn haben wir sowohl bei Privat- als auch bei Geschäftskunden Marktanteile gewonnen", sagte Deutschland-Chef Hannes Schwaderer dem "Handelsblatt" (Dienstagausgabe). Detaillierte Zahlen nannte der Manager allerdings nicht.

Das Software-Unternehmen Adobe Systems <ADBE.NAS> <ADB.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) erwägt eine Beschwerde gegen den Konkurrenten Microsoft <MSFT.NAS> <MSF.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) bei der EU-Kommission. Adobe halte eine Gratisfunktion zur Erstellung von PDF-ähnlichen Dokumenten des Rivalen Microsoft für wettbewerbswidrig, sagte Adobe-Chef Bruce Chizen der "Financial Times Deutschland" (Dienstagausgabe). Microsoft wolle diese Funktion mit seinem künftigen Betriebssystem Vista und der neuen Version des Bürosoftwarepakets Office anbieten./ck/dr

the world's largest uranium producer will have difficulties meeting its supply
commitments. The supply problem is largely blamed on the growing demand for
uranium and the flood at Cameco's Cigar Lake Mine, believed to be the biggest
undeveloped high-grade uranium deposit in the world.

The supply/demand balance for uranium is tighter than any other major commodity
and inventories are running low. A lot of supply hope was riding on Cameco's Cigar Lake project.

In addition, two weeks ago Bridge IR Group upgraded the company's stock to $3.00 per share. Prior to the latest press release, the stock closed yesterday at Ninety Two
cents a share.


In case you are not familiar with the company: Urex owns a 99.8% interest in the
Rio Chubut property comprised of 170,000 hectares of land which is adjacent to
the Cerro Solo Uranium deposit located in Chubut Province within Patagonia of

km, and borders the Cerro Solo Uranium deposit to both the North and the South.Urex also owns a 100% interest in the La Jara Mesa Extension uranium property
consisting of 137 unpatented mining claims in the Grants Mining District, Cibola
County, New Mexico. The La Jara Mesa Extension property lies adjacent to
Laramide Resources Ltd.'s La Jara Mesa and Melrich uranium deposits. Between
1950 and 1978 the Grants Mining District produced 270 million pound of uranium
oxide which ranks it as the most prolific uranium district in the United States.

Radial Energy Inc.(OTCBB: RENG) Current Price (0 88) www.growthstockresearch.comRadial Energy Announces Start of Drilling in Peru with Spud of Huaya 100-1X WellHOUSTON, TX - November 20, 2006 - Radial Energy Inc. (OTC BB: RENG.OB - News)
today announced that drilling has begun at the Huaya 100-1X well on the
Company's Block 100 oil project in Peru. According to an independent third party
reserve assessment, the Block 100 play may contain proved undeveloped gross
reserves of 15.3 million barrels of oil, 2.9 million of which would be allocable
to Radial Energy's 20% working interest. The spud of its first well in Peru is a
highly significant milestone for the Company, bringing Radial Energy closer to
its objective of producing overlooked and under-developed oil and natural gas
reserves in Latin America and the United States.The Huaya 100-1X well spudded at 11:40 a.m. on Saturday, November 18. The 12
inch hole was drilled to a depth of 164 feet by 6 a.m. on Sunday. The crews
finished the hole and set and cemented the 9 5/8 inch surface casing at
approximately 250 feet on Sunday evening. The well is slated to be drilled to a
depth of 950 feet (290 meters) in order to test the Cachiyacu, Casa Blanca and
Vivian sand formations. These sands are anticipated to be encountered
approximately 45 feet updip to the nearby Huaya 4X well which tested 39 gravity
oil from the Vivian formation, which is the primary target. The well is expected
to take 5-7 days to reach total depth.The Block 100 prospect is analogous to nearby Maquia Field, which has produced
approximately 17 million barrels of oil to date, and is on the same anticlinal
feature. The project encompasses a seismically-defined structural "pop-up"
closure with the potential for up to 41 very shallow well locations.The Huaya 100-1X well is being drilled to confirm proven undeveloped gross
reserves of between 15.3 and 29.5 million barrels of oil as estimated by an
independent reserve assessment conducted by Boulder, Colorado-based Gustavson
Associates, LLC.Company President G. Leigh Lyons commented: "We are thrilled to announce the
start of drilling at our Block 100 play in Peru. Spudding the Huaya 100-1X well
is a highly gratifying accomplishment and a major milestone for Radial Energy.
The third party reserve assessment and historical production of neighboring
Maquia Field have us very excited about the potential of Block 100 and we look
forward to keeping our shareholders apprised of the latest news from the site."About Radial Energy Inc. (RENG.OB)Radial Energy identifies, acquires and develops low risk oil and natural gas
exploration and development opportunities throughout the Americas. The Company's innovative strategy involves targeting overlooked or under-developed reserves that are under the radar of multinational oil companies and out of the reach of small independents.

Radial Energy has rapidly assembled an impressive portfolio of oil and gas plays including working interests in two separate oil and gas prospects located in Cherokee County, Texas, as well as in the Block 100 oil project located within the Huaya Anticline area in the Ucayali Basin of eastern Peru. The Company has also executed a Letter of Intent to acquire rights to explore and develop oil
reserves on the Bosques Block play located in the prolific Middle Magdalena Valley of Colombia. The Company targets prospective oil and natural gas opportunities in historically productive regions with a primary focus on identifying previously drilled but undeveloped exploratory wells that, due to factors at the time of initial drilling including the absence of pipeline infrastructure, lack of modern recovery technology, poor geological or engineering interpretation or low oil and gas prices, were not fully xploited.

Radial Energy is led by a highly motivated team of industry veterans with proven expertise in North, Central and South American oil and natural gas development.
Bolstered by first-rate management, farsighted acquisitions, the speed and agility to take advantage of changing market conditions, a firm commitment to building value for shareholders and the growing demand for energy worldwide,
Radial Energy is taking maximum advantage of a tremendous opportunity to develop overlooked and under-developed oil and gas reserves in North and South America.

Large Cap News: In-Depth Research on Coldwater Creek Inc.


Nov 22, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Shoppers quench their thirst for
classic, casual clothing from Coldwater Creek's (NASDAQ: CWTR) stores and
catalogs. The upscale multi-channel retailer sells mostly traditional apparel
through several catalogs, a Web site, some 175 full-line retail stores, and
about 20 outlets, targeting middle- and upper-income baby boomers. Northcountry,
the company's main catalog, features women's apparel, jewelry, and art. Spirit
offers more upscale women's apparel and jewelry, while its Sport catalog
(introduced in 2004) features casual women's activewear; all apparel catalogs
include plus-sizes. Co-founders Dennis and Ann Pence own about 35% of Coldwater
Creek.

Shares were down 9% after calling the fall retail environment "highly
promotional".


Coldwater Creek slid 10% early Wednesday after the apparel company called the
fall retail environment "highly promotional." The Sandpoint, Idaho, retailer
made $16 million, or 17 cents a share, for the quarter ended Oct. 28, up from
the year-ago $10.5 million, or 11 cents a share. Sales rose to $256 million from
$187 million a year earlier.
"Our triple-channel business strategy once again delivered a positive
performance for the recent quarter, resulting in net income growth of more than
51%, net sales growth of more than 37% and a solid increase in same-store
sales," said CEO Dennis Pence. "At the same time, we had increases of
approximately 80 and 70 basis points in gross margin and operating margin,
respectively, compared with the same period last year."The third quarter was notable because of strong net sales increases in all
three channels - retail stores, Internet and catalogs - as we successfully
navigated what proved to be a highly promotional marketplace during the fall
season," Pence added.
Gross margin rose to 47.7% from 46.8%, due to higher merchandise margins
associated with direct sourcing and improved leveraging of retail occupancy
costs, partially offset by increased promotional activity.
Net sales from the retail segment rose 48% to $167.5 million. Direct segment net
sales added 20.6% to $88.8 million. Internet net sales increased 28.6% to $59.5
million. Catalog net sales increased 7.1% to $29.4 million.Shares fell $3.03 early Wednesday to $27.91.

US Indizes - Stabilisieren sich nach erstem Kursrutsch - Update
Nasdaq Composite: 2460,94 Punkte

Dow Jones: 12.314,62 Punkte

Die US Indizes haben den Handel heute im Plus eröffnet, wurden aber unmittelbar wieder in den Bereich der Vortagesniveaus abverkauft. Aktuell stabilisieren sie sich. Stützend wirken der Computer-, der Luftfahrt- und der Internetsektor. Belastend zeigen sich der Öl- und der Biotechsektor.

Der Nasdaq Index rutschte nach einer starken Eröfnnung wieder in die keilförmige Handelsspanne der letzten Tage zurück, kann sich aber mittlerweile wieder nach oben hin lösen. So lange er jetzt oberhalb von 2457 - 2459 Punkten notiert, sollten weiter steigende Kurse bis zur Oberkante des Aufwärtstrendkanals bei 2513 Punkten erfolgen. Fällt er hingegen signifikant unter 2445 Punkte zurück, werden weitere Abgaben bis 2430 - 2435 und darunter 2410 Punkten wahrscheinlich. Der Dow Jones prallt heute zu Handelsbeginn am AllTimeHigh bei 12.355 Punkten nach unten hin ab, kann den Unterstützungsbereich bei 12.295 - 12.300 Punkten bislang verteidigen. Steigt er über 12.360 Punkte an, liegt das nächste Aufwärtsziel an der Oberkante des Aufwärtstrendkanals bei 12.490 Punkten. Unter 12.290 Punkten wird eine Abwärtskorrektur bis 12.200 - 12.225 Punkte möglich.

Commercial Corp (NEXBOARD:NM.H)AcquisitionNext Millennium ("Next") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a
letter agreement with Opal Energy, Inc. ("Opal") a Houston, Texas based Oil and
Gas Company whereby Opal has granted Next the right to acquire (the
"Acquisition") a 25% working interest in the SueAnn Tacquard #1 Well, Galveston
County, Texas. The purchase price for the interest is US$215,268.29, payable on
receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals for the
transaction. Opal has also granted the right to Next to acquire a 25% working
interest in a US$16 million natural gas exploration program focused on the Texas
Gulf Coast, which is the subject of a prospecting agreement between Opal and
Seven L's Management LLC. The exploration program consists of a 10 well drilling
package of drilling targets located in various parts of south Texas, and a 3-D
seismic shoot in a prospective area in south Texas. Next and Opal will enter
into a formal exploration participation agreement governing their rights and
responsibilities with respect to the above exploration program and which will
include the interest in the SueAnn Tacquard #1 Well.The SueAnn Tacquard # 1 Well is a Frio sands development well that has been
drilled to approximately 9800 feet. The field in which the well is located was
discovered in 1984 and was developed with a total of five wells. Production
ceased in 1991 for a variety of reasons including low oil and gas prices.
Various engineering and geological studies conducted since indicates that
substantial proven un-produced reserves likely remain in the well and that the
field was prematurely abandoned.Private PlacementIn connection with the Acquisition, Next will complete a non-brokered private
placement of up to 14,000,000 units at $0.27 per unit for gross proceeds of
$3,780,000 in order to provide funds for the Acquisition and for Next's share of

Zacks Earnings Preview: Aeropostale, Inc., Donaldson Company, Inc. and H&R Block, Inc.


CHICAGO, Nov 27, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks.com releases the list of
companies likely to issue earnings surprises.
This week's list includes

Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO),
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI)
and H&R
Block, Inc. (NYSE: HRB).
Earnings Preview is written by Jim Licato, Senior Analyst for Zacks.com.November 24th, commonly referred to as Black Friday, officially kicked off the
holiday shopping season. Next week analysts will be keeping a close eye on
holiday sales and signs of consumer strength or weakness. It will be interesting
to see if promotions and expanded hours equate to better sales for retailers.
Will consumers be willing to spend this holiday season despite a slowing but
still steady economy? Next week's calendar of economic events is going to be a busy one. October
durable goods orders will be released on Nov 28 along with existing home sales
for last month. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for November will
also be released on Tuesday. On Nov 29, third-quarter preliminary GDP figures
will be made available as well as October new home sales data. Lastly, on Dec 1,
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) will announce its index of
manufacturing activity for November.
The number of earnings reports scheduled for next week is fairly light. As of
this morning, there are just 40 confirmed earnings reports scheduled.



Companies That Could Surprise During the Week of Nov 20-24

Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO) announced on Nov 2 that October sales at stores
open at least one year rose 5.6%. Analysts on average had expected a jump of
3.9%. Total net sales for the four weeks ended Oct 28 increased 18.3% to $99.2
million, compared to $83.9 million for the four-week period ended Oct 29, 2005.
The strong results prompted ARO to raise its third-quarter earnings per share
guidance to between 60 and 61 cents per share, compared to its prior outlook
which called for profits between 58 and 59 cents. Over the past 30 days, the
consensus estimate for this quarter jumped two cents to 61 cents.

Aeropostale will report on Wednesday, Nov 29, before the open of trading.









Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) reported its 17th consecutive record year in
early September, with earnings per share, net income and sales hitting new
highs. Fourth-quarter fiscal 2006 profits came in at 43 cents per share, three
cents above analysts' expectations. Furthermore, the result was 10.3% better
than earnings in the prior-year period. The company also set its profit guidance
for 2007 above analysts' expectations. The consensus estimate for this quarter
currently sits at 43 cents--a penny better than the consensus of 30 days
earlier. Donaldson will report first-quarter fiscal 2007 results on Monday, Nov 27, after the close of trading.










H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE: HRB) is projected to report a second-quarter fiscal 2007
earnings loss of 30 cents per share. Analysts have been growing increasingly
pessimistic. The consensus estimate of 30 days prior called for a loss of 22
cents per share. HRB missed analysts' expectations in nine out of the past 11
quarters. In early November, the company lowered its fiscal 2007 earnings per
share guidance to between $1.20 and $1.45, compared to its previous outlook
which called for profits between $1.60 and $1.85 per share. HRB cited changes in
the near-term outlook for the mortgage segment as fueling its negative outlook.
H&R Block will report its second-quarter financial results on Thursday, Nov 30, after the close of the market.

Wall Street Capital Funding LLC: Wall Street News Alert: RENG is on the Move! November 28, 2006


Weston, FLA., Nov 28, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Wall Street News
Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are:




Radial Energy Inc. (OTCBB: RENG),
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (OTCBB: ASGMF),
Mechel OAO (NYSE: MTL),
Apollo Gold Corp. (AMEX: AGT)
and Bennett Environmental Inc. (AMEX: BEL)





Radial Energy Inc. (OTCBB: RENG) again this
morning! Yesterday after the stock markets closed, the company, focused on
acquiring and developing overlooked and under-exploited oil and natural gas
reserves in North and Latin America issued a press release updating the progress
at the Huaya 100-1X well on the Company's Block 100 oil project in Peru.The company was pleased to report that drilling has reached a current depth of
235 feet and that 9 5/8-inch surface casing has been set and cemented.
It looks like more good news for the company! The well is being drilled to test
a mapped structural closure, which an independent reserve assessment conducted
by Boulder, Colorado-based Gustavson Associates, estimates may have trapped
significant oil reserves, including 15.3 million gross barrels of oil classified
as Proven Undeveloped. The Company plans to reach a target depth of
approximately 950 feet, at which point logging and testing activities will
commence.

Chief Operating Officer Omar Hayes remark, "We are pleased to have reached the
235 foot mark and despite relatively slow progress are pleased with the strides
made to-date and are looking forward to logging the well to determine its full
potential once drilling is completed."Wall Street News Alert is continuing to place Aggressive Investors and
Speculators on alert to monitor the progress of Radial Energy! Several days ago,
Radial Energy issued a press release announcing that it is moving forward
rapidly on multiple fronts and discussing recent developments in each of the
company's oil & gas projects, detailing significant progress in Peru, Colombia,
Texas and Utah. In the press release, company President G. Leigh Lyons, stated,
"To date we have made major strides with each of our oil & gas projects, laying
the groundwork for significant and sustained growth"

Radial Energy identifies,
acquires and develops low-risk oil and natural gas exploration and development
opportunities throughout the Americas. The company's innovative strategy
involves targeting overlooked or under-developed reserves that are under the
radar of multinational oil companies and out of the reach of small independents.

The company targets highly prospective oil and natural gas plays in historically
productive regions with a primary focus on identifying previously drilled but
undeveloped exploratory wells that due to factors at the time of initial
drilling including the absence of pipeline infrastructure, lack of modern
recovery technology, poor geological or engineering interpretation or low oil
and gas prices, weren't fully exploited.Radial Energy has rapidly assembled an impressive portfolio of oil and gas plays
including working interests in two separate oil and gas prospects located in
Cherokee County, Texas, as well as in the Block 100 oil project located within
the Huaya Anticline area in the Ucayali Basin of eastern Peru.

RBC senkt Kursziel für Palm auf 15 Dollar

NEW York (dpa-AFX Broker) - RBC Capital Markets hat das Kursziel für Palm- Aktien wegen der gesenkten Prognose des Unternehmens von 16 auf 15 Dollar reduziert. Die Einstufung "Sector Perfom" für die Papiere des Taschencomputer-Herstellers beließen die Experten in einer am Dienstag in New York veröffentlichten Analyse.

Mit der verringerten Vorhersage für die Gewinnentwicklung im laufenden zweiten Quartal sei das Unternehmen hinter den zuvor abgegebenen sowieso schon schwachen Ausblick zurückgefallen. In der Analystenkonferenz zum ersten Quartal habe Palm angedeutet, dass Verzögerungen bei der Zertifizierung von Produkten im zweiten Quartal in der Prognose für diese drei Monate "klug" berücksichtigt seien. Die trotzdem erfolgte erneute Verringerung der Vorhersage zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sei den Analysten zufolge ein erneuter Schlag für das Vertrauen der Investoren.


Zudem komme die Warnung zu einer ungünstigen Zeit. Palm sehe sich zunehmendem Wettbewerb ausgesetzt. Bei Smartphones im Bereich 150 bis 199 Dollar seien Research in Motion, Nokia, Motorola und Samsung HTC Konkurrenten. Das Palm-Produkt Treo 750 könnte zu spät für das Weihnachtsgeschäft kommen, hieß es in der Analyse weiter. Zudem sei der Preis von etwa 400 Dollar eventuell nicht durchsetzbar. Die Erholung von Palm sei in zunehmenden Maße vom Absatz des 199 Dollar teuren Treo 680 abhängig.

Entsprechend der Einstufung "Sector Perform" erwarten die Analysten von RBC Capital Markets, dass sich die Aktie in den nächsten zwölf Monaten im Gleichklang mit dem Sektor entwickeln wird.

TTCM China Announces $12,600,000 Contract Negotiation With the City of GuangZhou (Canton) in the Fastest Growing Region of China


MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Nov 29, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- TTCM China, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: TTCH), a leading producer and supplier of glass-reinforced fiber
plastic pipes for water supply, sewer system and flood control, today announced
the company is negotiating contracts in excess of $12.6 million with water
resource companies in the city of GwangZhou in the Gwang-Dong Province, the
richest province in China with a population in excess of 83 million, near Hong
Kong. These latest negotiations come soon after the October 2006 announcement
from the company that it booked its largest ever order of $12.9 million with the
Liao Ning Water Reservoir and water supply company in the northeast of China.
Pending what the company hopes will be a successful resolution to these latest
negotiations, TTCM China expects to add to its backlog of orders that at the
beginning of the year was in excess of $24.5 million, and has grown
substantially in 2006.The Company is advancing its business model, expanding into new regions,
cultivating new relationships, and developing new markets for its products. In
particular, TTCM China is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the southern
and southeastern regions of China, where economic growth is on an even more
rapid pace than in the rest of the country. In addition to the current
negotiations with companies in GuangZhou, other negotiations are in progress
with companies in the GwangXi province (with a population of 49 million) across
from HaiNan Island, and in the FuJian Province (with a population of 35 million)
across from Taiwan. The tremendous population pressures, exacerbated by
sustained economic growth and industrialization, have strained the
infrastructure of the country, and these conditions are even more pronounced in
the southern and southeastern provinces.Mr. Jiqun Wang, Founder and Chairman of TTCM China, said, "This is a further
indication of the strategy of the Company to move forward, expanding business in
the southern and southeastern regions where the economic growth is even faster
than the rest of the country. Once again it demonstrates clearly that there is
growing demand for our high technology pipes in China, particularly to provide
water to rapidly growing areas as well as the flood control systems. Because our
pipes are more lightweight and cost efficient, they are suitable for large-scale
projects such as those in the GwangXi, GwangDong and FuJian Provinces. We expect
to see growing momentum in 2007 and into 2008 to meet the tremendous demand for
clean water delivery and flood control systems in China."For a video presentation of the company\'s operation, products and facilities,

About TTCM China, Inc.TTCM China, founded in 1995 and based in Tianjin China, is a leading producer of
glass-reinforced composite plastic products including regular and high-pressure
pipes, fittings, round containers, cooling towers and fans. In addition to its
headquarters in Tianjin, the Company has marketing offices in Hebei and Sichuan.
In cooperation with the Harbin Industry University, TTCM has developed an
advanced technology employing micro-emulsification, which enables a reduction of
the amount of resin used in the production process and at the same time raises
the product compactness, strength and infiltration quality. These procedures
make TTCM\'s glass-reinforced plastic pipes superior in strength to plastic pipes
while they only weigh one-fourth the weight of regular steel pipes. The company
is in negotiations with provincial and municipal government agencies and private
companies concerning the provision of pipes for water supply systems.For more information, visit http://www.ttcmchina.com.

Reckson Receives Proposal From AREP To Acquire Reckson For $3.3 Billion In Convertible Preferred Securities And $1 Billion In Cash


UNIONDALE, N.Y., Dec 04, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Reckson Associates Realty
Corp. (NYSE: RA) confirmed today that it received a letter from American Real
Estate Partners, L.P. ("AREP"), an entity 90% owned by Carl Icahn, which was
faxed to the Company's representatives early this morning, following the
notification that Reckson received over the weekend that Harry Macklowe and Mack
Cali had determined not to proceed with an offer for Reckson. The letter sets
forth a proposal from AREP to acquire Reckson for consideration consisting of $1
billion in cash and $3.3 billion in a new class of AREP Preferred Units, which
would carry a 5% dividend payment and be convertible into AREP Depositary Units
at $104.50 per Depositary Unit. A copy of the letter will be filed by Reckson on
a Schedule 8-K. The letter states that, if the Preferred Units are valued at
par, it would constitute a proposal to acquire Reckson at $49 per share in total
consideration.Reckson cautioned that there are a number of uncertainties and potential
contingencies associated with the letter it just received that will need to be
further evaluated. Reckson further cautioned that since this letter appears to
constitute a new proposal from a new "Person" within the meaning of the SL Green
merger agreement, none of the prior determinations that were made by the Reckson
Board under the SL Green merger agreement with respect to the prior Rome
proposal (which formed the basis for engaging in discussions with Rome and
providing it access to due diligence information), would appear to be applicable
to the recently received AREP letter. Reckson indicated that the Reckson Board
of Directors will therefore need to review the AREP letter with its legal and
financial advisors in accordance with the terms of the Company's pending merger
agreement with SL Green before determining what, if any, discussions are
appropriate with AREP with respect to the newly received letter.Reckson is subject to a binding merger agreement with SL Green. As stated in the
Reckson press release issued last night, the Reckson Board, by a vote of its
independent directors, has reaffirmed its recommendation of Reckson's pending
merger with SL Green.Important Information and Where to Find ItReckson and SL Green have filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus as part
of a registration statement regarding the proposed transaction with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 19, 2006. Investors and
security holders are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus because it
contains important information about SL Green and Reckson and the proposed
transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the
definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed by SL Green and
Reckson with the SEC at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The definitive proxy

with a total of 1,557,373 shares traded. The company reports encouraging

:-D :-D :-D

Der Toiletten-Tempel

Als ich gestern abend in New York noch einkaufen war, musste ich mal. Das wäre nicht weiter berichtenswert, doch führte mich mein kleines Bedürfnis zu einer neuen Installation am Times Square, die ein für allemal beweist, dass Corporate America alles tut, um vor Weihnachten den Kunden bei Laune zu halten.

Mitten am Times Square, wo früher eine wenig vertrauenserweckende Spielothek stand, hat Procter & Gamble die erste öffentliche Klo-Installation eingerichtet. Zwanzig Toiletten werden noch einem gut dreißig-köpfigen Team betreut, auf deren Shirts die P&G-Klopapier-Marke „Charmin“ Werbung macht.

Eine junge Männer in „Charmin“-Uniform preisen auf der Straße per Megaphon die Details des Klo-Vergnügens an: „Wir haben einen offenen Kamin, da können Sie sich ausruhen“, ruft einer zwei älteren Touristen zu. Und ein anderer wirbt für junge Cheerleader, die auf einer Bühne bei der Warteschlange mit kurzem Rock und Pom-Pons den Werbesong singen und tanzen.

Das tun sie tatsächlich. „Du bist so stark und doch so weich / unsere Beziehung wird ewig halten“, besingen die Mädchen das Klopapier, und sie hauchen: „Cha-Cha-Cha-Charmin“. Derweil machen zwei Jungs eine Umfrage unter den Wartenden. Die Daten werden gesammelt und im Internet veröffentlicht. Unter charminrestrooms.com erfährt man nun, dass schon 46 578 New Yorker vor Ort waren. Mehr als 900 Deutsche waren auf dem Topf am Times Square, die europäischen Länder sind komplett abgehakt, selbst aus Madagaskar, Gabon und Equador waren schon Touristen da.

Wo so viele Leute ihr Geschäft verrichten, ist Hygiene oberstes Gebot. Bei „Charmin“ am Times Square wird Reinheit zelebriert. Nach jedem Klogang untersucht ein Mitarbeiter den Abort, bewaffnet mit Desinfektionsspray und Tüchern, notfalls wird Parfüm verspritzt. Dann geht die Türe wieder auf, und unter lautem Jubel und Applaus wird bekannt, dass gerade eben „Stall Nummer 16 frei geworden“ ist.

Bei soviel Unterhaltung ist die Stimmung selbst in der Warteschlange großartig. Das Klo-Erlebnis selbst ist dann auch netter als es je auf einer öffentlichen Toilette war, und manche wollen nach getaner Arbeit gar nicht mehr aus dem „Charmin“-Tempel raus. Viele verweilen in den Sofas am Kamin, lassen sich mit dem riesigen Plüsch-Bären fotografieren, einige springen sogar auf die Bühne und unterstützen die Cheerleader: „Cha-Cha-Cha-Charmin!“

Manche sind so begeistert, dass sie sich einen Eintrag im Gästebuch nicht nehmen lassen. „Ich war zum ersten Mal in New York, und ... (die Toiletten) waren das coolste überhaupt“, schreibt ein Fan. Rob meint die „Charmin“-Klos sollten „zu den sieben Wundern der Erde gehören“, und Wanda aus Massachussetts schreibt, worüber sich jeder P&G-Manager am meisten freut: „Ich liebe Charmin Ultra, ich werde jetzt die Marke wechseln.“

Zigtausende gutgelaunte Klo-Gänger können nicht irren: Die „Charmin“-Installation im Herzen New Yorks ist ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für die Stadt. Natürlich vor allem für den Einzelhandel, und für Procter & Gamble selbst, denn bewusster als hier hat sich noch kein Verbraucher je mit dem Thema und dem Konsumartikel Klopapier auseinandergesetzt.

Global Resource Corp Receives Formal Request From Leading Petrochemical Company for Oil Drill Cuttings Unit Using Company's Patent Pending Microwave Technology

WEST BERLIN, N.J., Dec 14, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Global Resource Corp (OTC Bulletin Board: GBRC) is pleased to announce that the company has received formal notice from one of the world's leading petrochemical companies to deliver an in-depth quote and specifications report for the company's oil drill cuttings units capable of processing 10 tons per hour using their patent pending technology.
GBRC announced publicly yesterday that the company was in discussions for the sale of microwave units using their patent pending technology capable of extracting all but 0.01% containments of oil drill cuttings with two of the world's leading petrochemical companies.(See previous company release: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/061213/clw034.html?.v=74). The requested in-depth quote and specifications report is the direct result of a series of successful tests and on-site meetings at the headquarters of the company in West Berlin, NJ within the last week.

Upon GBRC's successful installation and testing of the unit capable of processing 10 tons per hour approximately 40 additional oil drill cuttings units will be required from GBRC. GBRC estimates the value of this order to exceed $50,000,000.

These oil drill cuttings units, using GBRC's patent pending microwave technology, will be built by the Equipment Service Parts, Inc. (ESP), the Virginia based firm specializing in tooling and manufacturing recently acquired by GBRC. (See related company release: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/061208/clf062.html?.v=34).

Frank Pringle, President of GBRC, stated, "GBRC's sale of its oil drill cuttings units to the preeminent and one of the world's leading petrochemical companies, utilizing only one application of the company's patent pending technology, would be the company's largest accomplishment to date. It single handedly proves our microwave technology has been widely accepted at the highest levels of the oil and gas industry. In addition, our recent acquisition of ESP, which saves GBRC approximately 40% on the manufacturing of our patent pending microwave technology units, gives GBRC immediate cost savings and a tremendous profit margin unseen in our industry to date."

About Global Resource Corporation:

Global Resources has a patent pending process that allows for removal of oil and alternative petroleum products at very low cost from various resources, including shale deposits, tar sands, and waste oil streams with significantly greater yields and lower costs than are available utilizing existing known technologies. The process uses specific frequencies of microwave radiation to extract oils and alternative petroleum products from secondary raw materials, and is expected to dramatically reduce the cost for oil and gas recovery from a variety of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Global Resources technology will not only be developed to extract oil from shale, but from depleted oil fields in the US and elsewhere, many of which still contain more than half of the hydrocarbons originally in these fields, because the residual hydrocarbons are too viscous to extract with conventional technology.

AMD ``Connecting the World'' Design Contest Generates Innovative Product Ideas Students from throughout Latin America compete to connect people in high-growth markets to the Internet

SAO PAULO, Brazil, Dec 14, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced the winning teams of the inaugural "Connecting the World" product design contest. The team from the University of Chile received the Chairman's Award for GOTA, an affordable Internet connectivity solution that local water utility companies would commercialize for rural populations. The team from UnicenP, a university in Brazil, received the Judges' Award for E-Cipo, an Internet access terminal that utilizes GPRS wireless technology to connect to television sets via UHF signals thus eliminating the need for a computer monitor.
"The concept behind this contest is that innovative thinkers who reside within the high-growth nations of Latin America best know the features, form factors and functionality of Internet connectivity devices that would be best suited for local citizens," said Billy Edwards, AMD chief innovation officer and senior vice president.

The Chairman's Award was selected by AMD CEO Hector Ruiz and will receive a cash prize of US$30,000 total, US$10,000 of which will be given to their university. The Judges' Award was selected by the panel of judges and will also receive a prize of US$30,000, US$10,000 of which will be given to their university.

The five finalists groups -- Fly Tech, GOTA, Eco Red, Interaction in Movement and E-Cipo -- presented their nonworking prototypes to the judges' commission, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The commission is composed of Hector Ruiz, AMD chairman of the board and chief executive officer; Billy Edwards, AMD chief innovation officer and senior vice president; Gustavo Arenas, AMD corporate vice president of High-Growth Markets & Innovations; Rob Enderle, chief analyst of the Enderle Group; Judith Varhelyi, director of the Hungarian Design Council; and Guillermo Winnicki, Buenos Aires City Hall Metropolitan Center manager for the Interactive Design brand.

The winning projects were selected from among 30 entries submitted by university student teams from throughout Latin America. The projects were judged based on how well they met the criteria user experience, affordability, aesthetics and ecological responsibility.

"Connecting the World" Contest

In support of AMD's 50x15 Initiative, to enable 50 percent of the world's population with Internet access and computing capability by the year 2015, AMD challenged university students to develop Internet access devices based on AMD processing technology. In addition to stimulating creativity, the "Connecting the World" contest promotes integration among multiple student disciplines to create product prototypes and business models aimed at accelerating the digital inclusion process throughout the region.

"The development of local ecosystems that foster indigenous design is one of the core tenets of the 50x15 Initiative, so we're tapping into the creativity and enthusiasm of student thinkers to gain their perspective on innovative designs," Edwards said.

Students from all over Latin America have submitted their proposals for providing technology access to populations located in regions where Internet access is limited. Project submissions included a product description, a business plan detailing the strategies for successfully implementing the program, the commercial feasibility of the project, and its overall compatibility with the social and economic realities of the target market.

Sep 15, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The Bellwether Report Takes Notice of Dectron Internationale Inc. (Nasdaq: DECT)
Air conditioning and indoor air quality products make life a breeze at Dectron Internationale. The company specializes in dehumidification and refrigeration through subsidiaries Dectron Inc. (Dry-O-Tron indoor pool and commercial dehumidifiers), Circul-Aire (gas-phase filtration and energy recovery), Refplus (refrigeration and AC systems, including walk-in storage coolers and freezers for grocery stores and meat plants), and ThermoPlus (dehumidifiers, heat pumps, and air-to-fluid heat exchangers).

Shares were down 29% after second quarter results.

Dectron Internationale, Inc, a leader in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, indoor air security and water generation markets, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2006 (in USD).

Revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2006 were $27.1 million, a $3.3 million (13.8%) increase over the prior year\'s revenues of $23.8 million. The growth is attributed to sales of Dectron dehumidification units for water parks as well as stronger international sales in the Circul-aire division.

Gross profit increased by $1.7 million to $7.2 million from $5.6 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to 26.7% from 23.4%. The gross profit margin was positively affected by a sales mix of products.

Selling expenses increased by $744,000 to $3.4 million in the six months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $2.6 million for the period ended July 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher commissions paid on the increased sales levels and the costs of attending trade shows.

Xenonics Fiscal 2006 Fourth Quarter Net Income Increased to $753,000 Versus a Net Loss of $3.2 Million Revenue Increased Four-Fold to $2.34 Million From $529,000 Management Expects Trend of Increasing Revenue and Profit to Continue in Fiscal 2007

CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec 14, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- XENONICS HOLDINGS, INC. (Amex: XNN), a leader in advanced illumination and low light viewing technology, today announced net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 of $753,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, versus a loss of $3,198,000, or $0.20 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, as revenue increased more than four-fold to $2,340,000 from $529,000.
"We expect this trend of increasing revenue and profit to continue in fiscal 2007," said Alan Magerman, Chairman of the Board.

"One reason for our confidence is the planned commercial roll-out of our patented SuperVision(TM) night vision device in fiscal 2007. With its unprecedented resolution and range, zoom capability, light weight, and attractive pricing, we believe that SuperVision has the potential to revolutionize the night vision industry. U.S. patents on our SuperVision technology have been allowed and international patents have been filed. We have ordered components for 10,000 devices for delivery between January and August 2007, and production of the first 3,000 units is set to begin in January at our facility in Carlsbad, California.

"In addition, several of the military programs we have diligently pursued for our patented NightHunter family of high-intensity illumination systems are expected to come to fruition beginning this fiscal year. As we announced last week, we have authorized production of 1,200 NightHunterII's for delivery between January 2007 and March 31, 2007 to meet our second quarter forecast.

"The launch of SuperVision following more than two years of intensive development work will create significant new opportunities for Xenonics in law enforcement, public safety, recreational, and other large commercial markets that we believe will complement our military business and support Xenonics' rapid and sustained growth for years to come. Our goal is to build Xenonics into a significant growth company. With NightHunter and SuperVision, we have the right products to make it happen. In fiscal 2006 we recruited proven sales and marketing executives and developed the national distribution network required to achieve our aggressive revenue and profit goals. Our entire management team is energized and committed to effectively executing our business plan. We are increasingly confident about Xenonics' future," Magerman said.

Fourth Quarter Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, revenue more than quadrupled to $2,340,000 compared to $529,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase primarily reflected the previously announced shipment of NightHunter systems to the Defense Logistics Agency.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was of $1,767,000, which included $797,000 related to the sale of excess inventory during the period. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, negative gross profit of $1,704,000 included a $1,953,000 charge for excess inventory.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $826,000, which primarily included $311,000 of non- cash stock-based compensation expense. This compares to selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $1,636,000, which included $575,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $753,000 or $0.05 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $3,198,000, or $0.20 per share.

At September 30, 2006, Xenonics reported working capital of $2,329,000, and a current ratio of 4.5. Magerman noted that all of the $2,194,000 in accounts receivable at September 30, 2006 have now been collected. The Company has no debt.

Fiscal 2006 Results

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2006, revenue increased to $4,833,000 compared to $4,434,000 for fiscal 2005. Net loss for fiscal 2006 was $1,488,000, or $0.09 per share, which included $1,102,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. This compares to a net loss for fiscal 2005 of $5,004,000, or $0.33 per share, which included $1,052,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Waste Management Announces Plan to Increase Quarterly Dividend Payments by 9.1% Per Share Dividend to Increase from $0.88 to $0.96 on an Annual Basis Quarterly Dividend Payment of $0.24 to Begin in First Quarter 2007

HOUSTON, Dec 18, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WMI) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 9.1% increase in its quarterly dividend program, raising the amount to $0.24 per share compared to the $0.22 per share paid in 2006. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, the Company expects to increase its dividend to a total of $0.96 per share per year, which would be an increase of $0.08 per share per year compared to 2006. All dividends must be declared by its Board of Directors prior to payment.
"Waste Management is first and foremost a strong and consistent generator of cash," said David P. Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of Waste Management, Inc. "The Board of Directors and management consider the return of cash to our shareholders to be one of our most important duties. Based on the current share count, this equates to approximately $510 million in dividend payments on an annual basis beginning in 2007. At the current share price of $36.97, this dividend produces a yield of 2.6%, which is in the top 25% of the dividend paying companies within the S&P 500."

Steiner continued, "The higher dividend payment remains one of the cornerstones of our previously approved capital allocation program, through which the Board of Directors has authorized management to return up to $1.2 billion to shareholders in combined cash dividends and common stock repurchases in 2007.

The Company noted that the Board of Directors intends to declare the first quarter 2007 dividend in February, at which time the record and payment dates for the first 2007 quarterly dividend will be announced. It is expected that the first payment of the higher dividend will occur in March of 2007.

Escala to Restate Financial Statements, Discloses Results of Internal Investigation

NEW YORK, Dec 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Escala Group (Nasdaq: ESCL) announced today that the Company will restate its previously reported financial statements for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2003; June 30, 2004; June 30, 2005; and for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The Company previously reported that its Board of Directors had directed the Audit Committee to review the transactions between the Company and the Company's majority shareholder, Afinsa Bienes Tangibles, S.A. ("Afinsa").

The Audit Committee's investigation is complete, and based on the findings of that investigation and after consultation with the acting Chief Executive Officer, the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee have determined to restate the Company's financial statements. The Company is considering the precise extent of the restatement, but expects that the restatement will relate primarily to the reporting of certain of the transactions between the Company and Afinsa, the totality of which had been reported in its financial statements as "related-party sales" and which are now part of the Company's discontinued operations, as described below. Specifically, certain archival sales for which the cash consideration received from Afinsa was recognized entirely as revenue from a related party should have been recorded as a combination of revenue from a related party and additional paid-in capital. Archival sales refer to cash sales to Afinsa of large and unique collections of archival material for which, in most cases, there was no substantial sales history. These sales represented a significant portion of the Company's previously reported revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company currently estimates that such archival sales comprised approximately $73 million of the $417 million in total sales to Afinsa over the time period in question, but such sales accounted for a larger percentage contribution to the gross profits recorded during the period.

As previously disclosed, the Company has ceased its global stamp and supply operations with designated sales to Afinsa. The Company has identified its separable and material business operations that were affected (and subsequently shut down as a result), and has classified them as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144. As a result of this reclassification of the Company's global supply operations as discontinued operations, any restatement is not expected to materially affect the results from continuing operations. Rather, the Company believes that any such restatement will be largely contained within discontinued operations and would be evidenced by decreased revenues from discontinued operations, decreased net income and decreased retained earnings, the latter of which would be offset by an identical increase in additional paid-in capital, with the net result being no overall change to the Company's total stockholders' equity and cash position, when viewed cumulatively over the time period in question.

Although it is possible that other aspects of the Company's previously reported financial statements will be restated, the Company is not currently aware of any other issues that would necessitate restatement. The Company has discussed the matters described above with its independent outside auditors, Amper, Politziner & Mattia, P.C., and is filing a Form 8-K with the SEC in connection with its restatement decision. This 8-K will address, among other things, the impact of the restatement on the Company's assessments of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the applicable periods.

Merger-Monday? - Merger-Jahr

Kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel feiert die Wall Street gerne die vergangenen zwölf Monate. Anlass gibt es zur Genüge, denn 2006 war – bisher – ein Rekordjahr in vielerlei Hinsicht. Beachtliche Kursgewinne gab es, Rekordgewinne bei den Unternehmen und so viele Merger und Übernahmen wie nie zuvor.

Vor allem die Merger und Übernahmen machen die letzten zwölf Monate wohl zu einem Ausnahmejahr. Nie zuvor war der Heißhunger auf Unternehmen so groß wie in 2006, nie zuvor haben derart viele Transaktionen die internationalen Börsen angetrieben. Regelmäßig prasselten am „Merger Monday“ Übernahmemeldungen auf die Wall Street ein, zuletzt in dieser Woche mindestens acht, von denen drei mit mehr als 10 Milliarden Dollar bewertet waren.

Im gesamten zurückliegenden Jahr, das ja noch nicht ganz vorbei ist, gab es weltweit 34 785 Übernahmen, deren durchschnittlicher Wert bei mehr als 100 Millionen Dollar lag. Damit hat die Wall Street in 2006 nicht nur mehr Transaktionen gesehen als je zuvor, sondern auch teurere. Insgesamt beläuft sich das Übernahmevolumen nun auf mehr als 3,5 Billionen Dollar. Das ist etwas mehr als im bisherigen Rekordjahr 2000, und man hat sich von den Tiefständen vor einigen Jahren deutlich erholt: Im Jahr 2002 gab es Transaktionen für gerade einmal etwas mehr als 1 Billion Dollar.

Angestoßen wurde das M&A-Jahr ironischerweise mit der 67 Milliarden Dollar schweren Übernahme des Telekomspezialisten BellSouth durch den Dow-notierten Branchenriesen AT&T – ausgerechnet dieser Deal gilt zum Jahresende als einer der unsichersten. Macht AT&T nicht weitere Zugeständnisse an die entscheidende Kommunikationsbehörde, könnte man auf eine Genehmigung lange warten. Ein republikanisches Ausschuss-Mitglied hat sich wegen Befangenheit zurückgezogen, zwischen den verbleibenden zwei Republikanern und zwei Demokraten steht nun ein Unentschieden.

Abgesehen von einzelnen Geschichten zeigt das zu Ende gehende Jahr aber zwei interessante Trends auf: Private Investoren haben in 2006 einen größeren Anteil an Übernahmen gehabt als je zuvor. Ein gutes Drittel der gesamten M&A-Aktivitäten waren Privatisierungen, darunter die Aufsehen erregenden Milliarden-Deals mit dem Kasino-Riesen HarrahŽs Entertainment, dem Kabelanbieter Clear Channel Communications und dem Energie- und Pipeline-Spezialisten Kinder Morgan.

Interessant ist auch, wie immer mehr große Deals außerhalb der USA stattfinden. Hatte Corporate America in den vergangenen Jahren stets den Löwenanteil, haben in diesem Jahr nur noch drei der größten zehn Merger und Übernahmen in Amerika stattgefunden. Insgesamt beläuft sich das Volumen der US-Deals auf 1,4 Billionen Dollar, und das wiederum ist kein Rekord. Im Jahr 2007 haben sich die M&A-Transaktionen in den USA auf 1,7 Milliarden Dollar summiert.

Wall Street News Alert: Breaking News Alert - NCII! December 20, 2006 NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is an Investment Opinion Being Issued by Wall Street Capital Funding.

WESTON, FL, Dec 20, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are:

NATCO International Inc. (OTCBB: NCII),
Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL),
Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) and
Melco PBL Entertainment (NASDAQ: MPEL)




NATCO International Inc. (OTCBB: NCII) is a new stock to put on your radar and watch as Wall Street News Alert initiates coverage of the company. On December 5, 2006, NATCO International Inc. announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent with Photo Violation Technologies Corp. ("PVT") of Vancouver, Canada that will lead to the shareholders of PVT holding 85% of the outstanding shares of NATCO at the conclusion of the transaction. The shareholders of NATCO will retain a 15% interest in the re-organized company.
NATCO International issued a press release yesterday after the markets closed, announcing that Photo Violation Technologies Corp. (which has signed the non-binding letter of intent to take over NATCO in January, 2007) has received notification from the City of Niagara Falls, NY that the City will conduct a test of PVT's patented PhotoViolationMeter(TM) high tech parking meters.

This could be great news. According to the notification, the City will install 200 to 225 of the user friendly, high revenue generating units in the downtown core for a 6-month test trial beginning on May 1, 2007. According to the press release, provided that the meters perform to specifications, the mayor will recommend purchase of the equipment to City Council.

Wall Street News Alert is placing Aggressive Investors on alert to monitor the progress of NATCO International! As a part of the project, PVT will install Cisco's Wireless mesh network in Niagara Fall's downtown area to supply wireless access for the PVT trial as well as free Internet service for residents. The PhotoViolationMeters(TM) will take advantage of the wireless technology by using its wireless feature to perform real time credit card authorizations as well as provide remote meter operations.

PVT expects to have the support of IBM, who will be responsible for the software and back-end server used to manage the PhotoViolationMeters(TM). In addition, IBM will handle maintenance and ongoing service of the machines.

The PhotoViolationMeter(TM) has appeared in numerous print articles, industry publications and on "CSI: Miami."

Continue to watch this company as the deal with Photo Violation Technologies progresses. While there is no guarantee that NATCO will ultimately complete its deal with PVT, should the deal take place, it will allow PVT (now a private company) to be traded publicly.

Prior to the latest press release, the stock closed yesterday at $1.70 a share.


In case you are not familiar with the company: PVT is a private company with subsidiaries in Europe and Asia that has developed a patented, technologically innovative parking meter system -- the PhotoViolationMeter(TM). This user friendly high tech meter will generate significantly more revenue than current parking meters through greatly improved compliance and zero double usage of time.

PVT has successfully forged relationships with Fortune 500 companies and global suppliers such as IBM, Cisco, Honeywell, and Motorola and is working with these partners to develop the world's most sophisticated parking system. One of these companies has also agreed to come on board under the terms of a North America-wide service agreement.








Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) up 1.2% on 860,000 shares traded. Ecolab is one of the leading global developers and marketers of premium cleaning, sanitizing, pest elimination, maintenances and repair products for the hospitality, foodservices, healthcare and industrial markets.










Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) down 0.2% on 185,000 shares traded. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. manufactures and markets a wide range of personal care, household and specialty products, under the Arm & Hammer brand name and other well-known trademarks.

Sony and Circuit City Take the Headache out of Holiday Shopping with Online Educational Courses for Shoppers

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec 20, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- With consumer electronics at the top of many holiday shopping lists this year, Sony Electronics and Circuit City Stores, Inc. launched an online education resource to help consumers learn about the latest consumer electronics products and technologies.
The amount of information available regarding consumer electronics can overwhelm consumers, but the free online courses, accessible on the Web at http://learning.circuitcity.com, take the confusion out of purchasing electronics by clearly explaining all of the jargon, features and technologies available. The courses, developed by Powered Inc., feature topics such as digital photography, videography and basic Web site design.

"By helping consumers understand the technology behind their favorite electronic devices, they are able to make more educated purchase decisions and find the right products that can add value to their lives," said Barbara Miller, director of corporate marketing Web services at Sony Electronics.

By accessing the information online, consumers can research products and features in the comfort of their own homes, where they can educate themselves on the technology and feel more comfortable once they arrive in store. Course lessons are accessible 24/7, and students can interact with expert instructors to answer questions while taking the courses.

"A large percentage of consumer electronics shoppers research products online before they buy through retailers," said David L. Mathews, Circuit City's senior vice president, president of Circuit City Direct. "We are continually looking for new ways to add value for consumers, and the online education programs are a wonderful way to provide consumers with valuable, relevant information."

A recent study by advertising researchers Next Century Media showed that 94 percent of consumers taking online education courses had a favorable impression of the company's brand; 93 percent are likely to recommend the product to a friend; and 20 percent made a purchase of the product or service as a result.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media Kauf drängt sich nicht auf

20.12.2006
Der Aktionär

Kulmbach (aktiencheck.de AG) - Ein Kauf der ProSiebenSat.1 Media-Aktie (ISIN DE0007771172 / WKN 777117, VZ) drängt sich nach Meinung der Experten vom Anlegermagazin "Der Aktionär" derzeit nicht auf.

Der Zuschlag für ProSiebenSat.1 Media gehe an die beiden Finanzinvestoren KKR und Permira. Haim Saban, der momentane Großaktionär des MDAX-Unternehmens, verkaufe sowohl seinen Anteil von 88% der Stammaktien als auch seinen Anteil von 13% an den Vorzugsaktien.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media solle nun mit dem Luxemburger Konzern SBS zusammengelegt werden, wodurch eine der größten Sendergruppen Europas entstünde.

Escala To Restate 2003-2005 Results, No Fraud Found

Dec 20, 2006 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- December 20, 2006 (FinancialWire) The committee reviewing transactions of Escala Group (NASDAQ: ESCL) with its majority shareholder Afinsa Bienes Tangibles S.A., found no evidence of wrongdoing. The company will restate certain results to correct the reporting of those transactions.
The company continues to cooperate with a formal investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Escala will restate results for 2003, 2004, 2005 and the first three quarters of 2006 to correct reporting of certain transactions with Afinsa.

The restatement is expected to largely affect discontinued operations, resulting in decreases in revenue, net income and retained earnings, the auctioneer of stamps, coins, arms and armor.

The transactions comprised about $73 million of the $417 million in total sales to Afinsa during the periods to be restated.

Shares of Escala surged $4.12 to close at $8.60.





Escala to Restate Financial Statements, Discloses Results of Internal Investigation

NEW YORK, Dec 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Escala Group (Nasdaq: ESCL) announced today that the Company will restate its previously reported financial statements for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2003; June 30, 2004; June 30, 2005; and for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The Company previously reported that its Board of Directors had directed the Audit Committee to review the transactions between the Company and the Company's majority shareholder, Afinsa Bienes Tangibles, S.A. ("Afinsa").

The Audit Committee's investigation is complete, and based on the findings of that investigation and after consultation with the acting Chief Executive Officer, the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee have determined to restate the Company's financial statements. The Company is considering the precise extent of the restatement, but expects that the restatement will relate primarily to the reporting of certain of the transactions between the Company and Afinsa, the totality of which had been reported in its financial statements as "related-party sales" and which are now part of the Company's discontinued operations, as described below. Specifically, certain archival sales for which the cash consideration received from Afinsa was recognized entirely as revenue from a related party should have been recorded as a combination of revenue from a related party and additional paid-in capital. Archival sales refer to cash sales to Afinsa of large and unique collections of archival material for which, in most cases, there was no substantial sales history. These sales represented a significant portion of the Company's previously reported revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company currently estimates that such archival sales comprised approximately $73 million of the $417 million in total sales to Afinsa over the time period in question, but such sales accounted for a larger percentage contribution to the gross profits recorded during the period.

As previously disclosed, the Company has ceased its global stamp and supply operations with designated sales to Afinsa. The Company has identified its separable and material business operations that were affected (and subsequently shut down as a result), and has classified them as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144. As a result of this reclassification of the Company's global supply operations as discontinued operations, any restatement is not expected to materially affect the results from continuing operations. Rather, the Company believes that any such restatement will be largely contained within discontinued operations and would be evidenced by decreased revenues from discontinued operations, decreased net income and decreased retained earnings, the latter of which would be offset by an identical increase in additional paid-in capital, with the net result being no overall change to the Company's total stockholders' equity and cash position, when viewed cumulatively over the time period in question.

Although it is possible that other aspects of the Company's previously reported financial statements will be restated, the Company is not currently aware of any other issues that would necessitate restatement. The Company has discussed the matters described above with its independent outside auditors, Amper, Politziner & Mattia, P.C., and is filing a Form 8-K with the SEC in connection with its restatement decision. This 8-K will address, among other things, the impact of the restatement on the Company's assessments of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the applicable periods.[/

Santa Claus zückt sein Scheckbuch

Fröhliche Weihnacht überall – und an der Wall Street ganz besonders. Nach einem unentschlossen Hin und Her in den letzten Tagen handeln die Blue Chips wieder auf einem Allzeit-Hoch, und so hoch wie nie zuvor sind auch die Weihnachts-Boni, die im New Yorker Finanzdistrikt in diesen Tagen ausgeschüttet werden.

Das Traditionshaus Goldman Sachs stellt in diesem Jahr alle in den Schatten. Das Unternehmen zahlt seinem CEO Lloyd Blankfein zu Weihnachten einen Bonus von 54 Millionen Dollar. Da kann nun auch John Mack noch neidisch werden, dem man bei Morgan Stanley in der vergangenen Woche einen Bonus von 40 Millionen Dollar genehmigte.

Doch nicht nur in den Chef-Etagen sind in diesem Jahr die Sonderausschüttungen geklettert. Immerhin haben die Broker und Banken in diesem Jahr dank globaler Merger und allgemein guter Geschäfte an den Börsen Rekordeinnehmen verzeichnet. Bei Morgan Stanley verzeichnete man ein Gewinnwachstum um 49 Prozent auf 11 Milliarden Dollar. Bei Lehman Brothers sind die Gewinne um 23 Prozent gestiegen, bei Bear Stearns um 40 Prozent und bei Goldman Sachs gar um 70 Prozent.

Davon profitieren alle. So werden dieser Tage an der Wall Street insgesamt 23,9 Milliarden Dollar an Boni ausgeschüttet, das sind 17 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Zum Vergleich: Im Jahr 2002, als die Wall Street einen Tiefpunkt erlebte, beliefen sich die Boni gerade einmal auf 9,8 Milliarden Dollar.

Gestiegen sind indes nicht nur die Boni für die allerhöchsten Executives. Der durchschnittliche Bonus beträgt in diesem Jahr 137 580 Dollar und damit 15 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Traditionell werden die Zahlungen bei den großen Häusern auf alle Schultern verteilt, so dass sich auch die Hausmeister und Sektretärinnen über einige Tausend Dollar freuen können.

Alan Hevesi, New Yorks oberster Finanzprüfer, zieht positive Rückschlüsse aus der Statistik: Einige Firmen im Finanzsektor haben das beste Jahr ihrer Geschichte hinter sich, und das sind gute Nachrichten für den Wirtschaftsraum New York. Immerhin schlagen sich die Rekordgewinn in höheren Steuereinnahmen aus, aber auch in einem größeren Angebot an Arbeitsplätzen. In den ersten zehn Monaten des zu Ende gehenden Jahres arbeiteten durchschnittlich 177 300 New Yorker im Finanzsektor, und damit 7200 mehr als im gleichen Zeitraum des Vorjahres.

Redback to join Ericsson's ranks: S.J. FIRM WOULD BE BOUGHT FOR $2.1 BILLION

Dec 20, 2006 (San Jose Mercury News - McClatchy-Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- San Jose-based Redback Networks agreed Tuesday to be bought by telecommunications equipment maker Ericsson for $2.1 billion, or $25 a share, the companies announced after the close of stock market trading.
Redback shares closed at $21.17, up 45 cents, in regular trading, and were up another $3.63 to $24.80 in after-hours trading.

Redback, which builds broadband networks, will retain its management team as well as its Silicon Valley properties and operate as a subsidiary of Ericsson. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close early in 2007.

"Redback has always had a well-known technology advantage over its larger routing competitors," said Ericsson President and Chief Executive Carl-Henric Svanberg in a released statement. "Today's agreement accelerates Ericsson's ambition to build leadership in the fast-growing broadband and IP services market."

Glenn Sapadin, Ericsson's head of investor relations for North America, said late Tuesday that the deal was "enough of a step to make us a leader."

Redback manages 50 million broadband connections for 15 of the top 20 telephone carriers worldwide, according to the company. It specializes in a next-generation broadband networks that are used for "triple play" services such as VoIP, Internet television and on-demand video.

"That technology is going to be incrementally more valuable," said Erik Suppiger, networking specialist with Pacific Growth Equities.

Redback, which filed for bankruptcy reorganization in late 2003 and celebrated its 10-year anniversary this year, has long been a rumored takeover candidate in the consolidating telecommunications industry, Suppiger said.

Since the technology bust, Redback has grown quickly -- doubling in revenue and staffing over the past year. Redback has 860 employees worldwide.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Redback Chief Executive Kevin DeNuccio popped champagne for employees and assured them their jobs were safe and that e
