WSTL - news. Westell and Nortel Networks Sign Joint Marketing and Sales Agreement for Broadband Products; Focus On Triple Play As New Standards and Capacities Gain Popularity
6/23/2004 11:35:00 AM
AURORA, Ill., Jun 23, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Westell Technologies, Inc. (WSTL), a leading systems developer and manufacturer of high-speed broadband/DSL and VoIP technology access products announced today a joint marketing and sales agreement with Nortel Networks(1) aimed at deploying ADSL triple-play solutions into broadband markets.
The Westell UltraLine 7400 DSL router / modem will be an important component of the Nortel Network solution for end-to-end delivery of triple play services: voice, high-speed Internet access and video (television). Westell and Nortel Networks will collaborate on joint marketing and referral activities for DSL applications into consumer and business markets.
Westell's UltraLine modem also offers an integrated 4-port router, making it ideal for home networking.

Van Cullens, President & CEO of Westell said, "Service Providers have long known Westell to be a proven supplier of traditional telecom applications. As the industry moves more and more toward demanding broadband uses such as video over DSL, customers can take comfort in knowing they will receive an integrated end-to-end solution today and in the future".

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jun 22, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Eline Entertainment Group, Inc. (EEGI) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EO9) recently reported its unaudited results for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 ended April 30, 2004.
Eline Entertainment reported revenues of $1,021,084 for the three months ended January 31, 2004, as compared to revenues of $0 for the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Included in the company's revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 are revenues $991,377, or approximately 97% of its consolidated revenues, from its Industrial Holding division and $29,007 of revenues, or approximately 3% of its consolidated revenues, from its other operations, which includes the parent company and its 24/7 MRI division. By comparison, Eline Entertainment reported revenues of $934,046 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 ended January 31, 2004, including revenues of $917,895 from its Industrial Holding division. Eline Entertainment did not have comparable revenues from either the Industrial Holding division or its other operations during the comparable period in fiscal 2003 as the formation of the Industrial Holding division and subsequent acquisition of Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. occurred in May 2003, and its 24/7 MRI division was formed in June 2003.
Eline reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 of $8,143, as compared to a net loss of $36,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Included in the net loss reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was a one-time, non-cash stock compensation expense totaling $57,850. Absent this one-time, non-cash expense, the company's net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 would have amounted to $65,993. By comparison, Eline reported a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 of $586,082, which included one- time, non-cash expenses totaling $525,250. Absent these one-time, non-cash expenses, the company's net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 would have amounted to $60,832.

some more DCEL news -- Dobson Communications Is Closing Its Fairbanks, Alaska Call Center
6/15/2004 3:15:15 PM
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jun 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Dobson Communications Corporation (DCEL) announced today that it is closing its Fairbanks, Alaska call center and transferring the Fairbanks operations to its Duluth, Minnesota call center. The closure of the Fairbanks call center will result in the termination of 16 positions.
The Fairbanks call center served Dobson's CellularOne customers in Fairbanks and Juneau. Subscribers in Anchorage and Alaska Rural Service Area 2 have been served by the Minnesota call center since Dobson assumed operations management for these two new Alaska properties in late 2003.
The 16 call center employees affected by the closure have been offered severance packages, as well as the opportunity to transfer to other positions within Dobson Communications.
The Fairbanks call center was not technically sufficient given its aging equipment, and the Company decided that customer care for Alaska could be managed more effectively by consolidating that function in the Minnesota call center, which is equipped with state-of-the-art customer care technology and systems. In addition, Dobson said that it preferred to concentrate its capital investments in Alaska on upgrading its network technology and coverage. The Company is on schedule to complete the overlay of its networks in Alaska with 2.5-generation GSM/GPRS/EDGE technologies by the end of this month, which will enable it to provide improved wireless voice and much faster data services to its customers throughout the state.
Dobson will now operate call centers in Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Oklahoma.
Dobson Communications is a leading provider of wireless phone services to rural markets in the United States. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the Company owns wireless operations in 16 states. For additional information on the Company and its operations, please visit its Web site at www.dobson.net.

DCEL news - Dobson Communications Updates Second Quarter Operating Trends in Conjunction With Today's Annual Meeting of Shareholders
6/15/2004 10:20:13 AM
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jun 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Dobson Communications Corporation (DCEL) today announced that, in conjunction with its 2004 annual shareholders meeting, the Company is updating several key second quarter operating trends. Dobson's annual meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. CT in Oklahoma City.
Among the key operating trends and events:
-- Gross subscriber additions through May continued to be slower than
expected, although the Company anticipates stronger gross
additions in the second half of the year.
-- Customer churn continues to trend positively, below the target of
2 percent average postpaid churn for the year.
-- The Company's subscriber base is transitioning more quickly than
expected to GSM, based on a high percentage of GSM gross additions
and migrations. As of the close of business on June 14, 2004, more
than 93,000 of the Company's 1.6 million subscribers were on GSM
calling plans, compared with approximately 11,800 GSM subscribers
at the end of March and approximately 40,300 at the end of April.
-- The Company expects that second quarter 2004 average revenue per
unit (ARPU) will be higher than ARPU for the first quarter,
although slightly lower compared with the second quarter last
year. The Company expects stronger ARPU performance in the second
half of the year.
-- Roaming minutes of use (MOUs) in the second quarter appear to be
in line with or slightly ahead of MOUs for the second quarter
last year. In its first quarter earnings conference call, held on
May 11, 2004, the Company stated that second quarter 2004 roaming
MOUs were anticipated to be slightly below those for the same
quarter last year.
-- Finally, the Company expects, through its operating subsidiary,
Dobson Cellular Systems, Inc., to complete the acquisition of the
assets of NPI-Omnipoint Wireless, LLC this week.
Dobson plans to address its guidance on these and other operating metrics when it holds its second quarter earnings conference call, which is planned for 8 a.m. CT (9 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, August 10, 2004. The Company plans to release second quarter earnings the previous afternoon.
Slides from Dobson Communications' 2004 annual shareholders meeting will be posted today on the Company's web site at www.dobson.net, under "Investor Relations, Presentations".

On May 15, 2004, UZP completed the purchase of a 5 acre parcel of industrial land which will become the future home of their first full capacity zeolite processing facility in Canada. The plant will integrate ZEO's, C2C's and FASC's resources and expertise to produce sufficient micronized zeolite to fulfill the requirements of UZP's $ 5,000,000 contract with Halliburton Group Canada.
Site excavation work was completed in early June and construction of pre-fabricated buildings for the project is underway. Structural and electrical engineers are now on site. Our goal is to be operational by mid August 2004.
As previously announced, C2C and Halliburton Group Canada completed the development of a unique technically advanced system for down hole cementing in the oil and gas industry for Western Canada. Under the guidance of C2C, an agreement was reached to supply a unique form of micronized zeolite to Halliburton using raw materials supplied by ZEO and equipment supplied by FASC. The building of this dedicated KDS processing plant at Princeton is the next step in our work under the United Zeolite Products Ltd. banner.
FASC President, Brian Nichols commented: "We are extremely fortunate to have formed this business relationship with C2C, ZEO and Halliburton. Today's success is the culmination of several years of hard work and determined effort by all parties involved. We are particularly proud that our patented KDS Micronex is an integral part of this innovative process."
First American Scientific Corp. develops, manufacturers and sells the KDS Micronex system, a patented disintegration system capable of reducing mineral rock to a fine dry powder suitable for this and many other industrial purposes. Other "waste-to-resources" processes where the KDS Micronex can capture significant value include the drying and micronzing of biomass, agri-waste, and pulp sludges suitable for burning in specialized dust burning systems.

CIRT news - CirTran Signs Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement for High Volume Business in Asia
6/14/2004 9:46:16 AM
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Jun. 14, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- CirTran Corp. (CIRT), a full-service contract electronics manufacturer of printed circuit board assemblies, cables and harnesses, today announced it has signed an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement with Michael Casey Enterprises, HIPMG, Inc. and UKing System Industry. Under the agreement, CirTran's wholly-owned subsidiary, CirTran-Asia Inc. will exclusively manage all manufacturing operations for various consumer market products in the hi-volume, Asian manufacturing market.
"We feel this partnership is going to be an immediate success especially for our new subsidiary, CirTran-Asia. It will also open many new doors of opportunities for new markets in US and many other regions in the entire world," said Iehab J. Hawatmeh, president and CEO of CirTran.
CirTran-Asia has already received and shipped product against its first contract, which was in excess of $1.6 million dollars. The company is anticipating a follow on contract win in excess of $1.6 million providing CirTran-Asia with a backlog in excess of $3.3 million within its first 30 days of inception.
As the parent company, CirTran is in the process of establishing a dedicated satellite office in Asia and interviewing seasoned executives with the expertise necessary to build its new division. Having proven the value and reliability of its core electronics products, CirTran has chosen to expand into previously untapped product lines. CirTran-Asia will pursue manufacturing relationships beyond printed circuit board assemblies, cables, harnesses and injection molding systems by establishing complete "box-build" or "turn-key" relationships in the electronics, retail and direct consumer markets. The company is very close to selecting a new president of CirTran-Asia, Inc. to head this division.
Trevor M. Saliba, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Business Development of CirTran Corporation, commented, "We are very excited about the immediate synergies between all the partners and the immediate multi-million backlog it has generated to date."

IPVO - IPVoice Communications Inc. and TekVoice Communications Inc. Launch Latin America Merger and Acquisition Campaign
Latin America Joint Venture Kicks Off with $3 Million in Annualized Sales Revenue and $20 Million in Sales Revenue under Letter of Intent for Acquisition
6/9/2004 11:37:00 AM
DALLAS, Jun 9, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IPVoice Communications, Inc. (IPVO) and TekVoice Communications, Inc. announced today a Latin America merger and acquisition campaign that is part of an overall plan to duplicate the IPVoice business model in the Latin American market.
IPVoice and TekVoice have worked in partnership for more than a year selling IP communication products and services specifically designed for the Latin American market. Recently, the two Companies agreed to convert an IPVoice note into a twenty percent equity stake in TekVoice. IPVoice had previously provided debt financing to TekVoice to support the joint Latin American market development.
Currently TekVoice Communications, Inc. serves an ever-growing Hispanic community in the U.S., and has carrier customers in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Together, the two Companies intend to obtain a public listing for TekVoice by September 2004. TekVoice already has over $20 million in revenue under a Letter of Intent (LOI) agreement for acquisition, in addition to a core $3 million revenue run rate. TekVoice will concentrate on strategic acquisitions specific to the Latin American market in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Online Banking and Electronic Security.
Mr. Henryk Dabrowski, CEO of Tekvoice, stated, "We are enthusiastic about duplicating the IPVoice business model for the Latin American market. In addition to helping TekVoice accelerate the process toward establishing an independent public listing, IPVoice will continue to provide TekVoice with support services they have delivered to TekVoice over the last year. We, of course, see the recently acquired subsidiary in Latin America, RKM IT Solutions, as a valuable addition to IPVoice's overall value as a Latin America business partner."
"We believe small companies are the best platform for funding new technologies and winning the initial sales for those new technologies," stated Philip Verges, CEO of IPVoice. "Small companies can provide investors exceptional return potential for these first-to-market successes, whereas the first-to-market success in a larger company is likely to have a minimal impact on stock appreciation. That is provided the larger company can even overcome typical corporate bureaucracy and realize that first-to-market success. With our 20% equity stake in TekVoice, this initiative with TekVoice is intended to expand the overall opportunity for IPVoice shareholders to benefit from first-to-market opportunities in keeping with a small company approach."
About TekVoice Communications, Inc.
TekVoice Communications, Inc. was founded in 2002. It currently provides services in Miami, Fla. and Dallas, to a large number of Hispanic corporate and residential customers. It also provides a complete outsourced billing and call accounting solution to small and medium carriers, with full support for VoIP and WiFi services, as well as providing wholesale carrier services and technologies.

DHB Industries Announces $239.4 Million Contract
- Award is the Largest Contract for Armor Ever Issued In the History of Body Armor - - Company's Backlog Swells to a Record $415 Million -
6/8/2004 3:26:00 PM
WESTBURY, N.Y., Jun 8, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- DHB Industries Inc. (DHB) David Brooks, Chairman and CEO of DHB Industries, proudly announced today that the Company has been awarded a contract for its recently developed Dorsal Axillary Protection System (D.A.P.S.) from the U.S. Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center. The contract value is an astounding $239,400,000 covering three years.
"This order has an enormous impact on DHB as it marks an entirely new segment of business and product line to compliment our existing Interceptor Body Armor sold to the U. S. military and its industry leading soft armor systems sold to law enforcement and federal agencies. Moreover, the contract provides a substantial guaranteed base of business for the next three years and will allow for immediate higher utilization of our recently opened 104,000 sq. ft. Pompano Beach, Florida manufacturing facility," stated David Brooks.
Sandra Hatfield, Chief Operating Officer of DHB Industries, commented, "We are proud of our rapid response to the needs of our customer in designing, developing and producing this latest addition to the Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest. This product is a testament to our industry-leading research and development efforts. We remain committed to fulfilling the needs of our customers, which has been the cornerstone of the success and growth of our Company."
Combat actions in Operation Iraqi Freedom have revealed an increased threat from the extensive use of improvised explosive devices (IED's) by terrorist insurgents. While Point Blank's Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest provides unparalleled protection to the torso from the fragmentary effects of IED's, its newly developed D.A.P.S. system provides additional protection by shielding the under arm, shoulder and upper arm areas not currently covered by Interceptor with the same level of protection. Point Blank Body Armor began development of D.A.P.S. to fully integrate with the Interceptor OTV System in early May 2004.
Point Blank believes this is the largest single contract for armor ever awarded in the history of the body armor industry. This brings the total new DOD contracts and purchase orders announced by DHB Industries over the past eight months to $381 million and increases the Company's total current backlog to a record $415 million

We believe that the combination of robust business prospects and a strengthened financial condition will play an important role in delivering long-term, sustainable value for shareholders."
