WAITSFIELD, Vt., March 14, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Northern Power, a subsidiary of Distributed Energy Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: DESC), has been awarded a contract by Pathmark Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTMK) to provide three turnkey photovoltaic (PV) systems to Pathmark's Garwood, Elizabeth, and Lawnside, New Jersey, supermarkets. The turnkey systems, which will have a total capacity of 750 kilowatts, will be designed, built and commissioned by Northern Power in association with New Jersey-based BGA LLC Engineering.
The Northern Power contract is part of a series of Pathmark initiatives to help the environment, improve efficiencies, reduce cost and create growth opportunities through a transformation in energy practices. By deriving more of its power from grid-connected generation systems, Pathmark also aims to reduce its dependence on the electrical grid, improve system reliability, and ease its impact on the power infrastructure in its communities.

Fourth Quarter Results
Fourth quarter revenues were $56.4 million, a $10.9 million increase from the $45.5 million (restated) posted in the fourth quarter of 2004 and a $6.9 million increase from the $49.5 million posted in the third quarter of 2005. The quarter-over-quarter increase in 2005 was primarily due to increased deployment revenues in the Americas associated with long-term contracts that still allow for the pass through of construction costs. Under LCC's two largest deployment contracts construction costs will be borne by the customer for sites started on or after October 1, 2005. However, sites that commenced prior to October 1, 2005 still have a construction component. Many of these sites were completed or were substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2005. Sites starting on or after October 1, 2005, had no construction costs. Revenues for these contracts are based on the percentage of completion computed using the cost-to-cost method. The percentage of completion for these contracts is calculated by comparing costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for the project. As a result, the percentage of completion for the fourth quarter of 2005 was heavily weighted with construction costs, which resulted in higher costs and higher revenues.
The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $(1.9) million, compared to a net loss of $(6.7) million (restated) for the fourth quarter of 2004 and net income of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $(0.08) per basic and fully diluted share on 24.4 million shares, compared to a net loss per share of $(0.27) for the fourth quarter of 2004 (restated) and income per share of $0.05 for the third quarter of 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2005 construction costs continued to increase due to increased international demand for building materials and rising labor costs for construction in the United States associated with reconstruction along the Gulf coast. As a result, the booking margins for the two largest deployment contracts in the Americas had to be reduced. This caused earnings to be $0.6 million lower in the fourth quarter than they would have been if the margin adjustments had not been made. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we had $0.6 million of bad debt expense and incurred $0.5 million to bring on board our new CEO. We incurred a $0.5 million foreign currency transaction loss in the fourth quarter of 2005. Fourth quarter earnings for 2005 were increased by a $0.6 million tax benefit in the United States attributable to an expected refund of income tax paid in prior years.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Results
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $194.0 million, an increase of $0.8 million from the $193.2 million (restated) for 2004. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $(12.5) million compared to the net loss of $(6.3) million (restated) reported for 2004.

CMGI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2006 Financial Results; Delivers 9% Year over Year Increase in Revenue and Continues Investing in Strategic Initiatives
...but
...CMGI reported an operating loss of $1.7 million for the second quarter, compared to operating income of $10.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The $12.5 million decrease in operating income was primarily the result of an $8.3 million decline in gross margins and a $4.3 million increase in restructuring charges, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decline in gross margins was primarily attributable to $5.1 million of cost needed to support a larger than anticipated surge in demand for a significant client's products during the holiday season. Overall gross margins were also negatively impacted by price concessions made last Spring and form factor changes, partially offset by cost of material savings and increased business volumes. The restructuring expense during the second quarter primarily reflects actions taken to drive operational efficiencies in Europe and lower our overall costs. Management believes these restructuring actions will lower CMGI's operating costs in Europe by more than $5.0 million on an annualized basis.

in BCON looks like news leaked early....- Beacon Power Announces Successful Completion of Flywheel System Acceptance Testing by NYSERDA; New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and U.S. Department of Energy Approve Demonstration System Shipment
Business Wire - March 1, 2006 1:53 PM (EDT)
Jump to first matched term
WILMINGTON, Mass., Mar 01, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Beacon Power Corporation (NASDAQ: BCON), a company that designs and develops advanced products and services to support more stable and reliable electricity grid operation, announced that it has successfully completed the pre-shipment acceptance testing for a scale-power Smart Energy Matrix demonstration unit, built under contract to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the U.S. Department of Energy. The acceptance tests were conducted at Beacon Power's facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The system is expected to be installed and connected to the grid at the demonstration host site in Amsterdam, New York, during March 2006.
"We are pleased that Beacon Power's Smart Energy Matrix demonstration system has completed factory acceptance testing, which is the last milestone prior to shipment," said Peter Smith, president of NYSERDA. "This project is part of NYSERDA's continuing commitment to identify and deploy advanced technologies that have the potential to improve the reliability and performance of our electrical grid infrastructure, for the benefit of consumers in New York State."
"Successfully testing and gaining approval to ship our second Smart Energy Matrix demonstration system is another step toward proving that our flywheel technology is viable for wider commercial deployment," said Bill Capp, Beacon Power president and CEO. "With one demonstration system already in California and this one soon to be installed in New York, we can show how Beacon's high-energy flywheels provide a cleaner and better-performing alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based frequency regulation services - and do so cost-effectively. The NYSERDA system was enhanced to enable it to also provide uninterruptible power to the site, as well as volt-amperes reactive power, or VARs, which help stabilize power to electrical equipment. Having these additional capabilities allows us to demonstrate that the Smart Energy Matrix can also meet the technical requirements for several other commercially viable applications," Capp added.
During the acceptance testing, the ability of Beacon's Smart Energy Matrix to follow signals required for frequency regulation and to provide VAR support was confirmed. Testing for these functionalities involved verification of key performance parameters including: system communications (with a new graphical user interface that further simplifies monitoring and operation); compliance with a range of application-specific charging and discharging profiles; and demonstration of normal system operation and shutdown modes.
In addition to supporting the system demonstrations in New York and California, Beacon continues its progress to develop its next-generation 25-kWh flywheel, which will be the core component of the full-power Smart Energy Matrix. That project remains on schedule, with a prototype expected to be ready for testing in late 2006.
About Beacon Power
Beacon Power Corporation designs sustainable energy storage and power conversion solutions that would provide reliable electric power for the utility, renewable energy, and distributed generation markets. Beacon's Smart Energy Matrix is a design concept for a megawatt-level, utility-grade flywheel-based energy storage solution that would provide sustainable power quality services for frequency regulation, and thereby support the demand for reliable, distributed electrical power.

Tysabri: As Bad as AIDS?
The Motley Fool - March 1, 2006 1:10 PM (EDT)
Jump to first matched term
Elan (NYSE: ELN) shareholders are a certifiably nervous lot these days. In a week, the Food and Drug Administration will hold hearings on whether -- and under what circumstances -- it will allow Tysabri, a treatment for multiple sclerosis that Elan developed and co-markets with Biogen IDEC (Nasdaq: BIIB), to return to the market. When the two companies voluntarily pulled the drug following reports linking it to two deaths from progressive multifocal leukoencephaly (mercifully abbreviated PML) last year, Elan's share price tanked by more than 70%. When another case came to light -- this time with a patient taking Tysabri as a monotherapy -- the losses from the peak increased to 90%.
Elan seemed cooked. Tysabri was its great hope. But there was no denying a few things: Tysabri was more effective in treating MS than anything else was on the market, the two cases of PML presented themselves in patients who were using Tysabri in combination with other drugs, and MS sufferers and many neurosurgeons alike were clamoring for its return to the market. In November, the FDA put Tysabri on priority review, and next week, they'll hold the meeting. To say that a lot rides on the outcome of this meeting for Elan shareholders is an understatement. The stock has risen 300% from its April lows, but recent weakness in the shares suggests that some shareholders are hedging their bets or are selling entirely.
So when a University of Texas report came out on Feb. 28 stating that Tysabri can deplete immune-system cells by the same level as the HIV virus, Elan shares went into a complete tailspin, dropping more than 14% at one point, before recovering to finish down only 7% at the close.
However, Bloomberg said on Wednesday that this report, which has yet to be accepted by a medical journal, was circulated by a spokesman for rival MS drugmaker Teva Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq: TEVA). If this is true, I believe it's a pretty dastardly deed -- not so much because a study showing that Tysabri lowers the immune system as much as HIV does is slanderous, but because doing so shows that Teva is willing to try to influence proceedings before the FDA meeting by introducing additional doubt for the safety of Tysabri. It also shows that the company considers the drug to be a legitimate threat to its own MS treatment, Copaxone.
Let's face it -- HIV is scary, a true hot button if there ever was one. But the report doesn't say that Tysabri is as dangerous as HIV. It says that it lowers immune systems to similar levels. Well, hello! Tysabri is an immunosuppressant. This is how the drug combats MS. Essentially, Tysabri sequesters the immune system to keep it from destroying the central nervous system. The challenge is to keep the immune system from dropping too low. This, incidentally, is why most PML cases exist in people who have full-blown AIDS. The virus that causes PML exists in an estimated 70% of the general population but remains latent.
Now, imagine that -- an immunosuppressant that suppresses the immune system! None of this implies that suppressing the immune system isn't an extremely dangerous thing to do. But it also happens to be the most effective way to treat a debilitating and deadly disease.
This is not to cast aspersions on the original Texas research, which may turn out to be bulletproof. But Tysabri is a drug administered once a month by doctors, who, one would assume, observe and adjust dosing as needed. But while the study may have its clinical use in helping make Tysabri (and future MS treatments) safer, the link to HIV in the public domain is spurious. You might as well say that helium is as dangerous as hydrogen because it also makes balloons float.
Makes you wonder why Teva's representative went to such an effort to make the study known, doesn't it?
Biogen is a Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation.
