REUTERS UPDATE 2-Micron to buy Lexar to broaden product line [FWSKQRF]
(Recasts, adds details, previous dateline NEW YORK)
By Scott Hillis
SAN FRANCISCO, March 8 (Reuters) - Micron Technology Inc.
<MU.N> on Wednesday said it will buy Lexar Media Inc. <LEXR.O>
for about $680 million, its latest push into consumer products
to balance out its main computer memory business.
Lexar's memory cards for devices like mobile telephones and
digital cameras will boost Micron's position in the market for
NAND flash memory, which is widely used in portable electronics
since it retains data with the power off.
"It's very difficult to penetrate the retail side of the
business and Lexar has very strong relations with retailers all
over the world," said Nam Hyung Kim, an analyst with
semiconductor consultancy iSuppli Corp.
"Now Micron can strengthen its retail business with the
hottest products," Kim said.
Its previous push into consumer products took place in
November, when Micron and Intel Corp. <INTC.O> announced the
creation of a $1.2 billion joint venture to make flash chips,
and immediately signed Apple Computer Inc. <AAPL.O>, maker of
the popular iPod digital music player, as a customer.
Lexar's main competitor is SanDisk Corp. <SNDK.O>, whose
shares fell 5.6 percent to $53.33. Micron's chief rivals are
Samsung, the world's largest flash maker, and No. 2 Hynix
Semiconductor Inc. <000660.KS>.
"We believe that this transaction will be perceived
negatively for SanDisk as Lexar is likely to be viewed as a
more credible competitive threat post the Micron acquisition,"
Goldman Sachs analyst James Covello said in a note.
Based on Tuesday's closing price of Micron shares, the deal
valued each Lexar share at $8.43, a premium of nearly 20
percent. But Micron shares were down 1 percent in Wednesday
trading, bringing the value down to $680 million.
Lexar shares jumped 22 percent to $8.65, a sign that
investors believe another and higher offer may emerge.
Boise, Idaho-based Micron has tried to reduce its reliance
on the volatile market for computer memory, known as dynamic
random access memory, or DRAM.
Lexar licenses its technology to companies that include
SanDisk Corp. <SNDK.O>, Samsung <005930.KS> and Sony Corp.
<6758.T>.
With no production facilities of its own, Lexar also buys
memory chips from some of those same companies. Those supply
agreements will stay in place after the takeover, according to
Michael Sadler, Micron's vice president of worldwide sales.
"They are a customer of ours right now as well and it's
safe to say that this is going to grow significantly, but it
will be difficult to speculate on that," Sadler told Reuters in
an interview.
Earlier this month, Lexar warned it would lose more money
than previously thought. It had said earlier that sales of more
profitable products were lower than expected.
Kim of iSuppli said Lexar's financial performance would
benefit from being directly plugged into Micron's production
capacity, which is growing through the venture with Intel.
"One of Lexar's shortcomings or Achilles' heels was that
they didn't have control of the silicon piece, they had to buy
it on the open market, always relying on some other party,"
Sadler said.
"What they needed was some in-house silicon manufacturing
muscle and we think we bring that to the table."

ASV Announces 4th Quarter 2005 Results; 4th Quarter Sales Increase 37%, EPS up 61% to $.29; Full Year Sales of $245 million, EPS Totals $1.01
GRAND RAPIDS, Minn.--(Business Wire)--March 8, 2006--
ASV, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASVI):
Highlights for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005
-- Fourth quarter 2005 net sales grow 37% to $66.0 million as
compared to fourth quarter 2004
-- Sales driven by strong demand for R-Series products, increased
OEM undercarriage sales, dealer network expansion and
increases in accessory sales
-- Realized price increases, continued benefits from volume
increases and strategic investments in production equipment,
and increased sales of higher-margin machines and accessories
offset lower gross margins on Caterpillar parts, produce a
gross margin of 24.8% for the quarter
-- EPS for fourth quarter of 2005 increases 61% to $.29 per
share, as compared to fourth quarter 2004, including $.03 due
to a one-time gain from sale of non-strategic product line and
a lower effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2005
-- Full year sales up 52% to $245.1 million
-- Full year EPS up 58% to $1.01
ASV, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASVI) today reported results for its fourth
quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Net sales for the
fourth quarter of 2005 increased 37% to $66.0 million, compared to
$48.1 million for the same period in 2004. Assisted by a 246 basis
point improvement in its gross profit percentage, the sale of a
non-strategic product line and a lower effective tax rate, net
earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 grew 64% to $8.2 million,
compared with net earnings of $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of
2004. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2005
increased 61% to $.29 compared with $.18 for the fourth quarter of
2004. The earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2005 included
approximately $.02 associated with the finalization of the new
Domestic Production Activities Deduction regulations, and
approximately $.01 from the sale of a non-strategic product line by
ASV's subsidiary Loegering Mfg., Inc.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, net sales increased 52%
to $245.1 million, compared to $160.9 million for 2004. Net earnings
for the year were up 62% to $27.9 million compared to $17.2 million in
2004. Diluted earnings per share for 2005 were $1.01 compared to $.64
for 2004, reflecting a 58% year-over-year increase.
"ASV has delivered another strong quarter and record results for
the full year," said Chairman and CEO Gary Lemke. "With over 50%
growth in both sales and earnings, our 2005 performance has outpaced
the expanding rubber track loader market. We expect sales of our
Posi-Track machines to continue to outpace the market in 2006."
R-Series products generated fourth quarter sales of $32.0 million,
up 83% from the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase was driven by
continued strong order flow, growth in the sale of higher-priced
machines and accessories and the expansion of the ASV dealer network.
ASV's OEM undercarriage sales increased 25% for the fourth quarter
of 2005, totaling $20.4 million, compared with $16.4 million for the
fourth quarter of 2004.
Sales from ASV's subsidiary, Loegering Mfg., Inc. (acquired in
October 2004) totaled $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005,
compared with sales of $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.
The decline in sales was due to the absence of sales from the snow
blower attachment product line, which was sold in October of 2005 and
a reduction in steel track sales as demand for the rubber track
machines and the VTS product line continues to strengthen. Loegering
sales outside of the snow blower and steel track product lines grew by
10% for the quarter. The VTS product line accounted for 65% of
Loegering's total net sales in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Sales of service parts and other items increased 6% in the fourth
quarter of 2005 to $7.9 million compared with $7.4 million in the
similar period last year. Driving this growth was a combination of an
increase in unit sales offset by lower used equipment sales in the
fourth quarter of 2005 and the implementation of new lower-margin
Caterpillar parts pricing effective November 2005.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2
million to $4.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, but as a
percentage of sales remained flat at 6.8%. The increase in expense was
due primarily to the higher mix of commissioned vs. non-commissioned
sales in the fourth quarter of 2005. Research and development expenses
declined by 27% in the fourth quarter of 2005 when compared with the
same period in 2004 as ASV completed much of the development work
associated with its new SR-Series machines and other new products
expected to be launched in 2006.

Inc.
SAN DIEGO, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Jackson Rivers Company
(OTC Bulletin Board: JKRI) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Diverse Networks, Inc., has signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with
Camvera Networks, Inc., an established provider of wireless data services to
municipalities and utility markets in the Southern United States. Under the
terms of the agreement Diverse will provide Camvera with network management
and operational support services associated with the building and operation of
the wireless networks.
Camvera designs, engineers, installs and supports state-of-the-art Non-
Line-of-Sight fixed wireless broadband systems primarily for small
municipalities, utility companies, and ISPs in under-served rural markets
throughout the United States. The typical coverage "footprint" often exceeds

To date, Camvera has installed over 12 networks primarily in the southern
regions of the United States.
Diverse Networks, Inc. intends to support Camvera's operations through one
of the hardened Network Operations Centers (NOC) at its Houston facility.
Diverse originally built these facilities to manage and operate networks for

"Camvera is the leading provider of municipal wireless broadband systems
in the U.S.," noted Carl Peede, President of Camvera Networks. "We've built a
solid reputation for building cost effective, turn-key wireless networks for
underserved rural communities. This agreement with Diverse allows us to

support to our clients and their networks."
Added Peede, "We feel that by leveraging the facilities and broad wireless
operational experience of Diverse Networks, we create a much greater value
proposition for our customers."

their clients," stated Jim Nelson, President of Diverse Networks and Jackson
Rivers. "We see a high level of synergism between our two companies as we
move forward in building a M2M solutions company. We anticipate using
transport services from the many Camvera designed and operated wireless
networks as we implement M2M solutions in the municipalities served by
Camvera."

Dress Barn, Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter Sales And Earnings; 2Q '06 Sales Increase 55%; 2Q '06 Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.42 Versus $0.05 Last Year
SUFFERN, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--March 7, 2006--
Headings for third column of Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Earnings - Unaudited (Thirteen Weeks Ended and
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended) should read: January 29, 2005 (sted January
29, 2006)
Dress Barn, Inc. (NASDAQ - DBRN), a leading national specialty
apparel retailer offering quality career and casual fashion apparel
through its dressbarn and maurices brands, today reported record
second fiscal quarter sales and earnings results.
Net earnings for the 13-week period ended January 28, 2006
increased to a record $14.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share,
compared to $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the same
quarter last year. This year's quarterly earnings per share were
reduced by approximately $0.05 due to the share conversion feature of
the Company's 2.5% Convertible Notes and the effect of expensing stock
options. Last year's quarterly earnings were negatively impacted by
approximately $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share as a result of
the acquisition and integration costs related to the maurices
acquisition, which was completed January 2, 2005. Excluding the effect
of these items, this year's second quarter earnings per share would
have been $0.47 per diluted share versus $0.12 per diluted share, in
the same period last year, which included only one month of maurices'
results.
Net sales for the 13-week period ended January 28, 2006, increased
55% to $310.9 million compared to $200.1 million in the second quarter
of the prior year. The quarterly increase was driven by the inclusion
of a full quarter's contribution from maurices, compared to one month
in the prior year's quarter, as well as better than expected sales
results for both dressbarn and maurices. Comparable store sales
increased 10% for this second fiscal quarter for both brands.
For the fiscal six months ended January 28, 2006, net earnings
increased to $34.5 million, or $1.05 per diluted share. This compares
to $8.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the comparable period
last year.
Net sales for the fiscal six months ended January 28, 2006
increased 59% to $629.8 million compared to $397.3 million reported
for the comparable fiscal six-month period ended January 29, 2005.
This year's sales results include maurices for a full six-month
period, compared to one month in the prior year's results. Comparable
store sales increased 9% for this period with dressbarn increasing 9%
and maurices increasing 10%.

UPDATE 1-Pixar reports lower quarterly earnings [FWRDKZV]
(Adds details, analysts estimates, share price)
LOS ANGELES, March 7 (Reuters) - Pixar Animation Studios Inc.
<PIXR.O> said on Tuesday it had lower fourth-quarter earnings from
a year earlier, when it benefited from the foreign release of its
hit film "The Incredibles" and pay TV revenue for "Finding Nemo."
Net income was $30.9 million, or 25 cents per share, compared
with $55.2 million or 45 cents per share in the year-earlier
quarter. The year-ago numbers have been adjusted for a two-for-one
stock split that occurred in April, 2005.
In January, Pixar said it had agreed to be bought by the Walt
Disney Co. <DIS.N> in a $7.4 billion transaction expected to close
this summer.
Revenue was $55.6 million, compared with $108.9 million a year
ago.
Analysts, on average, had expected net earnings of $20.8
million, or 17 cents per share and revenue of $44.7 million,
according to Reuters Estimates. On an adjusted basis, analysts
expected 18 cents per share.
Shares of Pixar were up at $64.40 on Inet after closing at
$64.03 on Tuesday on Nasdaq.
