Dassault Systemes ups 2010 guidance on weak euro

July 29 (Reuters) – Dassault Systemes (DAST.PA) hiked 2010 earnings guidance on Thursday for the second time this year thanks to the weaker euro and the performance of assets acquired from IBM (IBM.N).

The French group, which specialises in three-dimensional modelling software for clients including Boeing (BA.N), now expects 2010 non-IFRS earnings per share of between 2.25 to 2.35 euros, up from 2.19 to 2.28. A weakening euro had pushed it to hike earnings forecasts when it reported first-quarter results.

The firm on Thursday reported a 24 percent rise in non-IFRS second-quarter revenue, to 385.6 million euros ($501.8 million), as well as an 82 percent rise in earnings per share, to 0.40 euros per share.

“Dassault Systemes had a very solid second quarter, with sales above the high end of our revenue target,” Dassault Systemes Chief Executive Bernard Charles said, citing new partnerships with Michelin (MICP.PA) and the aquisition of search specialist Exalead in June.

Dassault Systemes, which has a market value of 6.1 billion euros, has seen its shares rise 29.7 percent so far this year, buoyed by a resurgence in business spending on technology after the crisis.

Kemira’s President and CEO Harri Kerminen:

The recovery in demand which started at the end of the first quarter also continued in
the second quarter. The 12% growth in revenue compared to the second quarter last year
is a reflection of increased deliveries to our customer industries. The revenues of Oil
& Mining and Paper segments rose over 10 %. The revenue of the Municipal & Industrial
segment developed positively as well, especially regarding deliveries to Industrial
customers.

The operating profit excl. non-recurring items in continuing operations improved in the
second quarter by 38%. In addition to higher sales volumes, the result was boosted by
lower costs. Operating profit as a share of revenue rose to 7.4% from 6.0% the previous
year. Profit before tax was markedly better than last year.

We will continue to develop the company according to our strategy, focusing on water
chemistry. As a part of this work, we announced the divestments of two non-water related
Paper segment units. The globally growing water business offers Kemira opportunities to
expand the utilisation of our current competencies in the water treatment sector.
Furthermore, the cooperation with customers and research centers provides a strong basis
for the profitable growth of Kemira.

The share of associates’ results was EUR 3.8 million (-5.0).
The January-June profit before tax was EUR 69.0 million (28.8). Net profit for the
period from continuing operations totalled EUR 55.0 million (22.2). Net profit was EUR
586.0 million (35.6). This includes a non-recurring income of EUR 529.2 million from the
separation of Tikkurila, consisting of the difference between the market price of
Tikkurila on March 26, 2010 and the shareholder’s equity of Tikkurila on March 25, 2010
less the transfer tax related to Tikkurila’s listing as well as listing costs.

Financial position and cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities in January-June 2010 amounted to EUR 34.7 million
(87.7). Cash flow includes Tikkurila until March 25, 2010. Compared to last year, cash
flow was adversely affected by the separation of Tikkurila in the first quarter, as well
as the increase of net working capital connected to the growth of revenue. Cash flow
after investments amounted to EUR 134.6 million (49.5). Cash flow from investing
activities includes the loan repayment from Tikkurila as well a cash and cash
equivalents transferred to Tikkurila, and the effect of the transfer tax related to
Tikkurila’s listing, in total EUR 119.3. The cash flow effect of expansion, improvement
and maintenance investments was EUR -31.2 million (-36.1). No acquisitions were carried
out during the period. Acquisitions amounted to EUR 3.7 million last year relating to
Tikkurila.

At the end of the period the Group’s net debt stood at EUR 611.0 million (December 31,
2009: EUR 675.6 million). The decrease in net debt was mainly due to the separation of
Tikkurila (effect approximately EUR 160 million). Currency exchange rate fluctuations
increased net debt by approximately EUR 54 million and in addition, during the second
quarter Kemira Oyj paid out EUR 41 million in dividend.

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities stood at EUR 723.6 million
(December 31, 2009: 950.2). Fixed-rate loans accounted for 76% of total interest-bearing
loans (December 31, 2009: 70%). The average interest rate on the Group’s
interest-bearing liabilities was 4.4% (5.7%). At the end of June, the duration of the
Group’s interest-bearing loan portfolio was 18 months (December 31, 2009: 19 months).

The unused amount of the EUR 500 million revolving credit facility that falls due in
2012 was EUR 437 million at the end of the period. The total limit of the revolving
credit facility has been reduced from EUR 750 million to EUR 500 million. Short-term
liabilities maturing in the next 12 months amounted to EUR 126.5 million, with
commercial papers issued on the Finnish markets representing EUR 4.9 million and
repayments of long-term loans representing EUR 110.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents
totalled EUR 112.6 million on June 30, 2010. Based on its current structure, it is
expected that the Group will not encounter any significant refinancing needs in 2010,
since the current loan arrangements cover its financing needs. The terms of the
revolving credit facility and other major bilateral loan arrangements require that the
Group’s equity ratio must be more than 25%.

At the end of the period, the equity ratio stood at 50% (December 31, 2009: 45%), while
gearing was 48% (December 31, 2009: 53%). Kemira’s gearing target is 40-80%.
Shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately EUR 70 million due to the separation of
Tikkurila. The net impact of currencies on shareholders’ equity was approximately EUR 45
million.

In January-June the Group’s net financial expenses were EUR 17.7 million (19.6). Net
financial expenses decreased from the corresponding period in 2009, mainly due to lower
debt and lower market rate levels; at the same time they increased due to the exchange
rate effects.

Capital expenditure

Gross capital expenditure in January-June, excluding acquisitions, amounted to EUR 34.7
million (36.1). Gross capital expenditure of continuing operations, excluding
acquisitions, totalled EUR 32.5 million (27.9). Expansion investments represented around
24% of gross capital investments, improvement investments around 40%, and maintenance
investments around 36%. The depreciation of continuing operations amounted to EUR 48.2
million (50.6). Cash flow from the sale of assets in continuing operations was EUR 12.4
million (1.5) in January-June.

Research and Development

In continuing operations, research and development expenditure in January-June was EUR
20.4 million (19.9) i.e. 2.1% (2.1%) of all operating expenses.

In March Kemira and VTT announced the establishing of a large water research center in
Finland. The total cost of the research, which will be performed at the centre, is
estimated at EUR 120 million, including external funding. The investments are allocated
over a period of 4 years, resulting in further investment activities in projects for
piloting and proof of concept purposes. The centre will employ approximately 200 persons
annually.

At the beginning of the year, about one third of the projects forming the water research
program have been kicked off and new strategic partners (customers and other technology
suppliers) are joining the program. Kemira has tightened cooperation with the University
of Alberta (Canada). University of Alberta has long researched effective extraction of
oil from oil sands. The focus of the cooperation will be on water treatment in
particular.

In June, Kemira and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) announced joint a R&D
cooperation, with the aim to enhance used water treatment and purification. The goal of
the 2-year project is to design a more efficient water treatment process with lower
energy consumption and waste volume. The cooperation is part of a membrane research
effort.

Human Resources

The number of Kemira Group employees at the end of the period was 5,177 (June 30, 2009:
9,139). The number of personnel declined mostly due to the separation of Tikkurila.

The Paper segment’s revenue in April-June 2010 rose by 12% to EUR 247.4 million (221.6).
Strong pulp demand has kept the sales of pulp chemicals at a good level. Demand for
packaging board has picked up in particular in Asia and Eastern Europe since the second
half of last year, increasing chemical sales into these regions. The demand for paper
used in magazines and newspapers and the number of printed advertising material has
increased the demand for the products. In some products, sales prices declined as a
result of a drop in raw material prices in 2009. The exchange rate effects had a EUR 16
million positive impact on revenue.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items for April-June was EUR 18.3 million
(8.0). The operating profit margin rose to 7.4% from 3.6 % last year. Costs decreased by
some EUR 12 million in April-June compared to the corresponding period in 2009.

In January-June the Paper segment’s revenue increased by 8% to EUR 481.4 million
(446.6). The currency exchange effect had a positive impact on revenue of approximately
EUR 19 million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 33.5 million
(15.5). Operating profit as a share of revenue was 7.0% (3.5%). Costs in January-June
were about EUR 30 million lower than in January-June 2009. Exchange rates had no
significant effect on the result.

During this period Kemira announced the divestments of two non-water related Paper
segment units.

Kemira sold the sulphuric acid plant in Kokkola to Boliden Kokkola Oy. The business
operations were transferred to Boliden Kokkola Oy on May 1, 2010. Kemira continues
chemical terminal operations in Kokkola including services to Boliden. The transaction
has no significant impact on Kemira’s financial result.

Kemira and German Catec GmbH financially supported by Fengler Beteiligungs GmbH have
signed a contract, according to which Kemira sells its global Fluorescent Whitening
Agents to Catec. Fluorescent whitening agents improve the whiteness and brightness of
paper. The deal covers a production plant in Leverkusen, the global sales network and
the associated support functions. The business employs about a 100 people, most of them
in Germany. They will be transferred to Catec at the end of the third quarter, when the
transaction is to be closed. The transaction has no significant impact on Kemira’s
financial result.

The Municipal & Industrial segment’s revenue in April-June totalled EUR 163.7 million.
A year earlier it was EUR 160.7 million. The delivery volumes were higher than in
April-June 2009, but the average sales prices in some products decreased as a result of
a drop in raw material prices. The exchange rate effects had a EUR 11 million positive
impact on revenue. Healthy demand continued in the municipal water treatment business,
and delivery volumes were slightly higher than a year ago. Also in the industrial water
treatment business the volumes increased, especially in Europe and Asia.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 15.6 million (18.2). The decrease
in some average sales prices due to the drop in raw material prices had a negative
impact on the result. Costs decreased in April-June by some EUR 7 million compared to
the corresponding period in 2009. Exchange rates had no significant effect on the
result.

The segment’s revenue in January-June was EUR 312.1 million (311.4). The average prices
decreased in some products as a result of a drop in raw material prices seen in 2009.
The sales volumes grew by about 5%. The exchange rate effect increased the revenue by
about EUR 14 million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 32.3
million (28.6) and the operating profit margin was 10.3% (9.2%). Costs in January-June
were about EUR 21 million lower than in January-June 2009. Exchange rates had no
significant effect on the result.

Overall sales volumes rose significantly from the corresponding period in 2009. Demand
has been strong, in particular in the oil and gas markets in North America. Demand of
chemicals for the mining industry recovered already during the first quarter 2010.

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items for April-June was EUR 6.9 million (3.2).
The operating profit margin rose to 8.8% from 5.8% last year. In addition to the
increase in sales volumes, the profit was improved by the slightly higher average sales
prices of products. Costs increased by some EUR 5 million compared to the corresponding
period in 2009.

The segment’s revenue in January-June 2010 rose by 32% to EUR 144.7 million (109.6). The
average sales prices of products maintained the same level as a year before. The sales
volumes grew by about 25%. The currency exchange effect increased revenue by about EUR 2
million. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 13.3 million (5.2).
Operating profit as a share of revenue reached 9.2% (4.7%). Costs were at the same level
in January-June as they were in the corresponding period in 2009. Exchange rates had no
significant effect on the result.

Other

The Other segment consists of specialty chemicals such as organic salts and acids and
the Group expenses not charged to the segments (some research and development costs and
the costs of the CEO Office). The demand of specialty chemicals was at a good level in
the Other segment. Products are delivered for instance to the food industry, feed
industry and pharmaceutical industry, as well as for airport runway de-icing.

Other events during the review period

Kemira sold the sulphuric acid plant in Kokkola to Boliden Kokkola Oy. The business
operations were transferred to Boliden Kokkola Oy on May 1, 2010. Kemira continues
chemical terminal operations in Kokkola including services to Boliden. The transaction
has no significant impact on Kemira’s financial result.

Kemira Oyj and a Swedish company Coor Service Management AB have May 21, 2010 signed a
contract, according to which Kemira sold its IPOS service company to Coor. IPOS
(Industry Park of Sweden AB) provides its customers maintenance, technical and other
services in the Industry Park of Helsingborg. The IPOS legal entity and a staff of about
130 persons were transferred to Coor per July 1, 2010. The transaction had no
significant impact on Kemira’s financial result.

June 23, 2010, Kemira and German Catec GmbH financially supported by Fengler
Beteiligungs GmbH signed a contract, according to which Kemira sells its global
Fluorescent Whitening Agents to Catec. The deal covers a production plant in Leverkusen,
the global sales network and the associated support functions. The business employs
about a 100 people, most of them in Germany. They will be transferred to Catec at the
end of the third quarter, when the transaction is to be completed. The transaction has
no significant impact on Kemira’s financial result.

On June 29, 2010, Kemira announced that it will start joint a R&D cooperation with
Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), with the aim to enhance used water
treatment and purification. The goal of the 2-year project is to design a more efficient
water treatment process which produces more clean water with lower energy consumption
and waste volume.

Randy Owens, President, Kemira Oil & Mining, will alongside his current role be the
region head of North America. Hannu Melarti, SVP, Region North America has left the
company to pursue career options outside Kemira as of July 1, 2010.

Kemira has received the European Commission’s decision regarding anticompetitive
activities of animal feed phosphates producers in Europe on July 20, 2010. The European
Commission decided that Kemira should not pay any fine, since it was the first company
to report these activities to the Commission. Kemira has cooperated with the European
Commission during the investigation which began at the end of 2003. Kemira divested the
animal feed phosphates business in 2004. Kemira informed the public about the
Commission’s investigations in 2004, in the prospectus of Kemira GrowHow. The decision
of the European Commission will not have any financial impact on Kemira.

Short-term risks and uncertainties

Kemira’s main short-term risks and uncertainties are connected to raw material
availability and prices.

Substantial fluctuations in the world market prices of electricity and oil are reflected
in Kemira’s financial results, via raw material prices and logistics costs.

Introduction of REACH legislation may decrease the available raw material options and
thus increase our raw material costs. REACH registration of Kemira’s own products may
also be more expensive than estimated, in particular if we are not able to share the
costs with other companies. Acrylamide, boric acid, borates and sodium dichromate have
been added to the list of candidates for authorization under REACH. If acrylamide, which
Kemira uses as a raw material for polymers, will be added to the list of substances
subject to authorization under REACH, this would make its use more difficult. Boric
acid, borates and sodium dichromate are mainly used in the production at Kemira
Chemicals Oy.

Changes in the exchange rates of key currencies can affect Kemira’s financials.

A detailed account of Kemira’s risk management principles and organization is available
on the company website at www.kemira.com. An account of financial risks is available in
the Notes to the Financial Statements 2009. Environmental and hazard risks are discussed
in Kemira’s environmental report.

Outlook

Kemira’s goal is to be a leading water chemistry company. Implementation of Kemira’s
water strategy has progressed well and the company has improved its profitability
significantly and strengthened the balance sheet with several measures. Kemira will
continue to focus on improving profitability and reinforcing positive cash flow, and the
company will also increase its actions to boost growth.

The basis for growth is the expanding water chemicals markets and Kemira’s strong
know-how in water quality and quantity management. Increasing water shortage, tightening
legislation and customers’ needs to increase operational efficiency create opportunities
for Kemira to develop new water applications for both new and current customers.
Investment in research and development is a central part of Kemira’s strategy. The focus
of Kemira’s R&D activities is on the development and commercialization of new innovative
technologies both globally and locally.

During the current year, Kemira expects the demand to develop favorably as our
customers’ demand is getting stronger. Operating profit from continuing operations,
excluding non-recurring items, is expected to grow notably from last year (2009: EUR
124.9 million).

Litigation

On August 19, 2009, Kemira Oyj received a summons stating that Cartel Damage Claims
Hydrogen Peroxide SA (CDC) had filed an action against six hydrogen peroxide
manufacturers, including Kemira, for violations of competition law applicable to the
hydrogen peroxide business. In its claim, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA
seeks an order from the Regional Court of Dortmund in Germany to obtain an unabridged
and full copy of the decision of the European Commission, dated May 3, 2006, and demands
that the defendants, including Kemira, are jointly and severally ordered to pay damages
together with accrued interest on the basis of such decision.

Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA states that it will specify the amount of the
damages at a later stage after the full copy of the decision of the European Commission
has been obtained by it. In order to provide initial guidance as to the amount of such
damages, Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA presents in its claim a preliminary
calculation of the alleged overcharge having been paid to the defendants as a result of
the violation of the applicable competition rules by the parties which have assigned and
sold their claim to Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA. Such alleged overcharge,
together with accrued interest until December 31, 2008, is stated to be approximately
EUR 641.3 million. The process is currently pending in the Regional Court of Dortmund,
Germany.

Kemira defends against the claim of Cartel Damage Claims Hydrogen Peroxide SA. However,
Kemira is currently not in a position to make any estimate regarding the duration or the
likely outcome of the process. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of the
process, and an unfavorable judgment against Kemira could have a material adverse effect
on Kemira’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Due to its extensive
international operations the Group, in addition to the CDC claim, is involved in a
number of other legal proceedings incidental to these operations and it does not expect
the outcome of these other currently pending legal proceedings to have materially
adverse effect upon its consolidated results or financial position.

UPDATE 1-Speedy Hire stays cautious on recovery in UK

July 20 (Reuters) – Tool-hire firm Speedy Hire (SDY.L) said on Tuesday it maintained a cautious view about recovery prospects in the United Kingdom for the remainder of this year.

The company, which provides support services to construction, manufacturing, industrial and rail sectors, said the timing of recovery within private sector construction and the government’s autumn spending review will be critical to future performance.

However, Speedy Hire said first-quarter revenue and adjusted pretax profit were in line with its expectations.

The company said it would enhance its banking facilities to invest in its Middle East operations and take a one-time cash charge of 3.5 million pounds in the first half of this financial year.

Net debt at the end of last week closed at 134.9 million pounds ($205.4 million), the company said.

Shares of Speedy Hire closed at 22.5 pence on Monday on the London Stock Exchange.

UPDATE 1-Polymetal production soars, reiterates forecasts

MOSCOW, July 19 (Reuters) – Russian precious metals miner Polymetal (PMTL.MM) reiterated its production forecasts for 2010 after seeing gold and silver production rise in the second quarter.

The company said on Monday its gold production rose 61 percent year-on-year during the three months to end June, partly due to new contributions from the Varvarinskoye mine, while silver production rose 13 percent.

“In the second quarter of 2010 we saw sustained and stable production growth across our operations,” Chief Executive Vitaly Nesis said in a statement.

The boost helped the company’s second-quarter revenue soar to $249 million from just $109 million the previous year. The first-half figure rose 93 percent to $424 million.

Polymetal’s production targets for the full year remain for 430 to 450 Koz of gold, 19 to 20 Moz of silver and 4.0 to 5.0 Kt of copper. (Reporting by John Bowker; Editing by David Holmes)

BRIEF-Thai Airways shares up on Q3 profit hopes

July 12 (Reuters) – Thai Airways International THAI.BK:

* Shares up nearly 6.0 percent to its highest since March 2008 after Kim Eng Securities said in a research note it expected the company’s earnings in the thrid quarter should pick up after a recovery of tourism.

* The company has said its second-quarter revenue should be hit by recent political unrest and the low tourist season.

* At 0530 GMT, Thai Air shares were up 5.0 percent at 31.50 baht, while the main Thai index .SETI was up 0.51 ($1=32.36 Baht) (Reporting by Arada Kultawanich; Editing by Jason Szep)

UPDATE 1-Thai Airways says unrest hit Q2 revenue

June 17 (Reuters) – Thai Airways International THAI.BK said on Thursday its second-quarter revenue and its cabin factor would be hit, mainly by recent political unrest and the tourist low season.

The national carrier expected its percentage of seats sold, or cabin factor, to be 60 percent in the April-June quarter, down from 81 percent in the first quarter, President Piyasvasti Amranand told reporters.

“The recent political unrest has slashed a lot of revenue we should earn in the second quarter,” Piyasvasti said, referring to anti-government protests in Bangkok from March to May which ended with a military crackdown and violence.

Early this month, the airline said it expected its second-quarter performance this year would be roughly the same as the same period of last year. [ID:nLDE6550GY]

It reported a loss of 5.4 billion baht ($167 million) in the second quarter of 2009, hit partly by political unrest and the H1N1 flu outbreak.

The company is due to announce its second-quarter results in August.

In April this year, its cabin factor was 72 percent but it dropped to 56.8 percent in May, Piyasvasti said.

“However, it is likely to pick up from July, especially on the flight to Johannesburg,” he said. South Africa is hosting the 2010 World Cup.

The airline had said in February it was aiming for a 2010 cabin factor of 75 percent, compared with 72 percent in 2009.

The national carrier expected a fund-raising plan to be completed in the third quarter, delayed from the middle of the year as initially planned, said an executive who declined to be identified.

“We are in the process of filing documents to the stock regulator,” the executive said.

Thai Airways announced the stock offer in March by selling up to 1 billion new shares to the public and shareholders, including the Finance Ministry, which owns 51 percent of the airline. [ID:nSGE62B08K]

The move is aimed at strengthening its financial position as it overhauls operations and restructures management.

NDYN Expecting Accelerated Revenues for 3rd and 4th Quarter 2010

CHICAGO, IL, Jun 02 (MARKET WIRE) —
Based on contracts already signed in 2010, NaeroDynamics, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: NDYN) and its wholly owned subsidiary IE Telco Solutions,
Ltd. (IETS) are expecting to report significant revenues for the third
and fourth quarter of 2010.

In the first and second quarters of 2010, NDYN and IETS made solid
progress by winning new Telecom Expense Management (TEM) contracts and
performing on their existing contracted customer base. As stated by
Co-CEO’s Lee Wiskowski and Doug Stukel in March 2010, “These contracts
should provide millions of dollars in revenues, expected to be reflected
in NDYN’s third and fourth quarter revenue reports. Furthermore, NDYN
expects to sign major additional contracts this year with well known
telecom carriers. The IETS pipeline is robust with a number of major
prospective customers.”

“The contracts call for IETS to receive a percentage of the savings
realized by our customers based upon identifying incorrect billings to
our customers from their suppliers. Our preliminary data suggests that
substantial savings can be achieved for our major customers, however it
should be noted that it in most cases, it is up to the customer to
implement the savings after we provide the necessary data and analysis,
which is not wholly within IETS’ control, and which could impact the
timing, magnitude and realization of the fees earned by IETS.”

About Us:

IE Telco Solutions Ltd (IETS), a wholly owned subsidiary of
NaeroDynamics, Inc., specializes in managing and reducing telecoms
circuit costs for Telcos and large enterprise. The Company offers a
powerful combination of highly skilled and experienced telecoms
professionals combined with a unique software application Enterprise
Circuit Manager (ECM). ECM ensures full circuit lifecycle inventory
control, significant data quality improvements, supplier invoice
reconciliation, network optimization, and proven cost reduction.

Targeted Genetics Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results

Plus Update on Celladon Heart Failure Clinical Data and Business Strategy
SEATTLE–(Business Wire)–
Targeted Genetics Corporation (PINKSHEETS: TGEN) (the “Company”) today announced
its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31,
2009.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reported net income of $1.8 million,
or $0.08 per common share, compared to a net loss of $10.8 million, or $0.54 per
common share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. For the year ended December 31,
2009, the Company reported net income of $7.9 million, or $0.39 per common
share, compared to a net loss of $20.7 million, or $1.04 per common share, for
the year ended December 31, 2008. Per share results for 2008 include a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of $7.9 million recognized in the fourth quarter of
2008.

The Company`s results for 2009 reflect the September 2009 sale and license of
certain assets, including manufacturing technologies and adeno-associated viral
vector (AAV) technologies to Genzyme Corporation, delivery of MYDICAR product
candidate to its partner Celladon Corporation and the successful settlement of
the Company`s Bothell, Washington facility lease.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 rose to $3.1 million, compared to $2.2
million for the same quarter in 2008, as a result of installment revenue earned
from Genzyme connected to the successful completion of transfer plan
deliverables. This increase in fourth quarter revenue was offset, in part, by
reduced revenue from the Celladon heart failure collaboration as the Company
completed the manufacture of the MYDICAR product candidate in the second quarter
of 2009. Revenue increased to $12.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2009, from $8.7 million for 2008, primarily as the result of revenue earned for
the transfer of manufacturing technologies and other AAV vector technology under
the Genzyme asset purchase agreement, as well as increased revenue generated
from both pre-manufacturing and manufacturing efforts in the Celladon
collaboration. This increase in revenue was partially offset by decreases in
2009 revenue for the HIV/AIDS vaccine project, as 2008 results included revenue
from a vaccine product candidate manufacturing campaign and higher vaccine
project pass-through costs.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 decreased to
$553,000, compared to $3.9 million for the same quarter in 2008. Research and
development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, decreased to $6.1
million, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2008. The decreases in
both periods reflect lower costs for support of the Celladon heart failure
program and lower activity on the NIAID-funded HIV/AIDS vaccine subcontract
partially offset by expenses incurred for support of the sale to Genzyme of
manufacturing and other AAV technology. For the full year period, research and
development expenses were also lower reflecting lower employee costs, lower
operations costs and lower clinical trial costs as the Company completed most of
a Phase 1/2 inflammatory arthritis program clinical trial by mid-2008.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 decreased to
$653,000, compared to $957,000 for the same quarter in 2008. General and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, decreased to $4.4
million, compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease for
the fourth quarter, compared to the prior year fourth quarter, primarily
reflects lower employee costs resulting from reductions in force and lower
intellectual property costs resulting from the Company`s return of licensed
patent rights and cessation of prosecution of patents that were not specific to
its current development program efforts. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses for the full year period primarily reflects lower
intellectual property costs, lower employee costs, lower stock-based
compensation charges and lower shareholder annual meeting-related costs
partially offset by management incentive bonuses earned in 2009 in connection
with the successful execution of the Genzyme transaction.

During 2009 the Company’s shareholders` equity balance increased from a deficit
of $3.8 million as of December 31, 2008 to positive balance of $4.5 million as
of December 31, 2009 and working capital improved from $1.7 million to $4.4
million. The Company`s cash balances were $5.1 million at December 31, 2009,
compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2010 the
Company received an additional $1.0 million installment payment upon completion
of all of the specified Genzyme transfer plan deliverables and also received an
additional $750,000 pursuant to a patent license agreement between the Company
and Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics, or AMT, which was triggered by AMT’s
filing for marketing approval of Glybera(R), a product candidate for the
treatment of lipoprotein lipase deficient patients. The Company finished the
first quarter ended March 31, 2010 with approximately $5.5 million of cash and
based upon current business plans the Company currently anticipates completing
2010 with a cash balance of approximately $3 million. The Company had
approximately 21.3 million shares outstanding as of May 31, 2010.

Ms. Robinson commented, “We continue to carefully steward the Company`s
resources as we evaluate and explore opportunities to maximize the value of our
business and technology. Included in our consideration process are the recent
positive results from our licensing partner Celladon Corporation from their
first Phase II trial of MYDICAR for the treatment of advanced heart failure.”
Celladon presented the trial data on May 30, 2010 (see the Company`s press
release dated May 30, 2010) at the annual meeting of the Heart Failure
Association and showed that patients treated with MYDICAR experienced
improvements in clinical outcomes and disease markers. Ms. Robinson continued,
“Our restructuring efforts from last year have positioned us well to capitalize
on our interest in Celladon`s MYDICAR product candidate and other licensing
relationships. We continue to evaluate options for the future strategic
direction of the Company including continued and new product development
efforts, selling the company or liquidation with potential future licensing
revenue distributed to shareholders. We will move forward on one of these paths
when we have sufficient information from licensing partners, product development
efforts and business discussions now underway to determine the highest value
direction for our shareholders.”

The Company and Celladon first entered into collaboration and manufacturing
agreements in 2004. In 2009, Targeted Genetics licensed its AAV vector serotype
and manufacturing technology to Celladon and manufactured clinical supplies of
MYDICAR. Under the 2009 license agreement between Targeted Genetics and
Celladon, if MYDICAR is developed and commercialized by Celladon, then Targeted
Genetics could receive multiple milestone payments totaling up to $20 million,
starting with a $5 million milestone payment if a MYDICAR Phase III human
clinical trial commences. In addition, the Company could receive a 10% royalty
on commercial sales of MYDICAR, subject to certain reductions in some cases.
Alternatively, if Celladon enters into a partnering transaction for MYDICAR or a
sale transaction of Celladon or its MYDICAR assets, the Company could receive a
$5 million milestone at the start of Phase III plus 10% of future partnering
revenue or sale proceeds received by Celladon and, subject to certain reductions
in some cases, a royalty of 10% on sales of MYDICAR.

UPDATE 5-Intel’s knock-out Q2 props up tech sector hopes

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13 (Reuters) – Intel Corp’s (INTC.O) sales and margin forecasts trounced Wall Street expectations, reinforcing hopes for an acceleration in the tech sector’s recovery and boosting the chip maker’s stock 4 percent.

The stellar showing from the world’s top chip maker, an industry bellwether and among the first tech stocks to report first-quarter earnings, lifted Asian tech shares and should give Wall Street a boost.

Intel, bolstering expectations that businesses and consumers will speed up spending after 2009′s belt-tightening, foresees a gross margin of 64 percent — plus or minus 2 percentage points — for both the current quarter and all of 2010. Wall Street had expected about 60 percent.

That put the company, which said on Wednesday it was seeing increased spending by corporations, on track to potentially surpass the record 64.7 percent margin chalked up in its fourth quarter.

“What Intel is benefiting from is the pent-up demand, because customers delayed upgrading servers and upgrading desktops over the last several years because of the downturn,” ITIC analyst Laura DiDio said. “They can’t delay anymore, so the floodgates have opened.”

Tech sector shares rallied. Fellow chipmakers Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD.N) and Texas Instruments Inc (TXN.N) rose nearly 3 percent after hours, while Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) was up 1 percent. Dell (DELL.O) was up 1.5 percent.

“Certainly a strong indication for the rest of technology as we move through earnings season,” said Edward Jones analyst Bill Kreher of Intel’s results. “The cost control during the downturn is helping set a new norm in terms of gross margins for the company moving forward.”

Intel forecast current-quarter revenue of $10.2 billion, plus or minus $400 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S, on average, expect $9.68 billion.

Chief Executive Paul Otellini, who predicted as far back as 2009′s second quarter that the PC sector had hit bottom, on Wednesday told investors the battered technology sector was nearly out of the woods. [ID:nN14455703]

“A year ago at this time, the industry was in the midst of a sharp correction, with many expecting it to continue for an extended period,” Otellini said. “But we saw signals of it bottoming then, and now a year later the industry is nearly fully recovered.”

Analysts added that the chip maker’s outperformance will help raise expectations of how fast and how strong the tech industry will rebound from the severe downturn of the past two years.

KNOCK OUT RESULTS

In Taiwan, shares of the world’s top contract chipmaker TSMC (2330.TW) (TSM.N), which also gave upbeat sales forecasts for the global semiconductor market on Wednesday, rose 0.5 percent. [ID:nTOE63D02F]

“It looks like demand remains strong and we don’t have to worry too much about corporate fundamentals,” said John Chiu, a fund manager at Taiwan’s Fuh Hwa Securities Investment Trust. Chiu has no TSMC shares in his portfolios now.

South Korea’s Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) rose 1.7 percent and PC maker Lenovo Group (0992.HK) jumped 3.8 percent.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq index futures firmed, implying gains for both indices on Wednesday.

“Not only is it first to file, it’s also more upstream in the supply chain than other vendors so that bodes well for the entire downstream, the overall sector,” said Endpoint Technologies Associates President Roger Kay.

Intel’s margins should expand — defying fears that they had peaked in 2009′s final quarter — because sales were going to more expensive chips, like servers bought by corporations now less constrained by the tight budgets of last year.

That spending has come at a time when Intel released a flurry of new server, desktop and notebook chips with a focus on speed and performance.

Executives added they were beginning to see growth in business PC purchases and new tablet computers anticipated this year — in the wake of Apple Inc’s (AAPL.O) highly touted iPad — will expand the market in the same way netbooks have.

Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N) and other manufacturers are expected to follow with their own. [ID:nN06228078]

“Demand for our higher-end PC products was particularly strong, which helped improve margins and profitability,” Otellini said on a conference call with analysts.

Some analysts had predicted Intel might not see as strong sales in the second half of the year. But Raymond James analyst Hans Mosesmann said unseasonably high gross margins in this beginning of the year boded well for the rest.

“If this continues, you’ll see a second half that’s better than the first half,” he said.

Broadpoint Amtech analyst Doug Freedman said Wall Street is likely to raise financial forecasts for Intel in the wake of the quarterly report.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Street estimates came up between 8 and 10 percent,” he said.

The company said on Tuesday net income totaled $2.4 billion, or 43 cents a share, in the three months ended March 27, compared with net income of $629 million, or 11 cents a share, in the year-ago period. That exceeded average expectations for 38 cents a share.

Revenue rose to $10.3 billion, above the Wall Street target of roughly $9.84 billion.

Shares of the Santa Clara, California-based company rose 4 percent to $23.66 in extended trading after closing at $22.76 on Nasdaq.

“We’re bringing out a whole generation of … exciting products for the industry and look to be driving more high-end demand than we were anticipating when we started the year,” Intel Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith said.

Nearly 20,000 Hong Kong airline staff asked to take unpaid leave

Hong Kong – Hong Kong’s leading airlines Cathay Pacific and Dragonair Friday invited nearly 20,000 employees to take between one and four weeks of unpaid leave as part of a raft of cost-cutting measures.

The sister airlines also announced that they would cut flight schedules, axing some Dragonair flights to mainland China and cutting Cathay Pacific’s London flight schedule by 17 a month upwards.

The cost-cutting moves came as the airlines announced that first quarter revenue on Cathay Pacific and Dragonair for passenger and cargo services fell 22.4 per cent from 2008.

Cathay Pacific said it would cut passenger capacity by 8 per cent and overall cargo by 11 per cent from May in response to the downturn.

All staff would, meanwhile, be invited to take between one and four weeks unpaid leave depending on seniority, although the airline stressed the leave would not be mandatory.

Cathay chief executive Tony Tyler said: “We have no option but to take measures that will help us weather the current storm and maintain the long-term sustainability of the business.

“Our staff are being asked to make sacrifices that will be needed to see the company through this violent storm. The pain will be shared from the top down.”

Flight frequencies or seat capacity would be reduced on flights to London, Paris, Frankfurt, Sydney, Singapore, Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, Mumbai and Dubai, Cathay Pacific announced.

Dragonair will meanwhile cut its passenger capacity by 13 per cent, reducing its services to Bengaluru, Busan, Sanya and Shanghai and suspending services to Fukuoka, Dalian, Shenyang, Guilin and Xian.

Dragonair chief executive officer Kenny Tang said: “Our business has been badly hit since the financial crisis first began to bite late last year.

“We have seen a significantly reduced demand for premium travel and pressure on our passenger yield due to the low fares in the market.

“The cost-cutting measures we have initiated since the end of last year are clearly not enough so we have no alternative but to introduce further measures to help us preserve cash.”

Unions representing pilots and flight attendants were Friday still locked in talks with management over the unpaid leave issue and the other cost-cutting measures.

More than 1,000 Cathay Pacific flight attendants and around 200 pilots took voluntary unpaid leave when it was offered in December in an earlier move to reduce costs.

Cathay Pacific has 13,600 staff in Hong Kong and 3,400 staff overseas while Dragonair has 1,820 staff in Hong Kong and 680 staff overseas.(dpa)

Folsom Lake Bank Tops $71 Million in Assets With 3/31/09 Financial Results

FOLSOM, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Folsom Lake Bank (OTC
Bulletin Board: FOLB), announced unaudited financial results for the quarter
ending March 31, 2009, its second full year of operations. Total assets grew
to $71.2 million, an increase of $33.2 million or 87% over the 1st quarter of
2008. Assets were up $10.7 million or 17% over the prior quarter ending
12/31/08. Total deposits grew to $55.2 million, increasing $11.4 million (26%)
for the quarter and $31.4 million (132%) compared to the prior year. Total
loans outstanding as of March 31, 2009 were $42.8 million, up $4.8 million
(13%) for the quarter and $20.1 million (88%) compared to the prior year.

Robert J. Flautt, President and CEO commented, “We are pleased with the
continued strong growth this past quarter and look forward to additional
growth as we add our second branch in Roseville later this year.” The new
branch on Douglas Blvd is expected to open early July.

First quarter revenue for the Bank was $946,107 up $417,326 or 79% from the
first quarter of 2008 attributable to a strong increase in fee income and a
healthy net interest margin. The Bank reported a net loss of $461,803 for the
quarter, larger than the previous year’s $366,564 loss due to a higher
provision for the loan loss reserve. Operating losses are normal for a startup
bank and the Bank continues to march toward a profitable operation. Excluding
the provisions from both quarters the 3/31/09 loss would be $161,803 and the
3/31/08 loss would be $291,564, an improvement of $129,761 or 44.5%.

The Bank made a special provision of $300,000 in the first quarter to the
allowance for loan losses, to enhance its reserve in these unique economic
times. The Bank also experienced its first loss on a small commercial loan.
The net result was an increase in the loan loss reserve to 1.44% of loans from
the previous year’s 1.17%. Commented Flautt, “We are not unaffected by the
economic downturn, however our loan portfolio remains strong with no past due
or non-accrual loans. We remain an active lender in the community and look
forward to a continued growth in our loan portfolio.”

Folsom Lake Bank is the area’s newest community bank. The Bank is a locally
owned and locally operated full service commercial banking organization
focused on small business owners, professionals and individuals in the
communities surrounding Folsom Lake. By providing the personal attention that
clients want and delivering banking services that they need, the bank
continues to build strong banking relationships across the communities that it
serves. Folsom Lake Bank is publicly traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board. Howe Barnes Hoefer and Arnett (John Cavender 415-538-5725) is the primary

UPDATE 4-Google profit beats expectations; shares flat

Q1 EPS $5.16 beats Wall Street view $4.93

* Q1 revenue $5.51 bln in line with Street view $5.53 bln

* CEO says economy tough, users searching but not buying

* Shares flat after initial 5 pct rise after hours (Adds analyst comment, conference call details, background)

By Alexei Oreskovic and Anupreeta Das

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK, April 16 (Reuters) – Google Inc’s (GOOG.O) quarterly profit topped expectations, helped by cost controls, but Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said the economic environment remains tough with Internet users still searching but buying less.

Shares of the No. 1 U.S. Internet search company initially rose 5 percent on the stronger-than-expected results, but then erased gains to trade flat after hours.

“We’re still basically in uncharted territory,” Schmidt said on a conference call. “Google is absolutely feeling the impact. Users are still searching but they’re buying less. Ultimately, what that really means is the ads are converting less.”

Compared to other Internet and media companies that depend on advertising revenue, Google has been extremely resilient to the economic downturn, though its revenue growth has slowed sharply from the heady 50 percent rates it used to enjoy.

Google reported first-quarter revenue of $5.51 billion, up 6 percent from the year-ago quarter but down 3 percent from the 2008 fourth quarter — its first ever sequential decline. The figure was in line with average Wall Street expectations.

“In one sense, revenue was certainly not robust, but considering the environment people are obviously taking that as somewhat of a comfort that it wasn’t any worse,” said Martin Pyykkonen, senior analyst at Wunderlich Securities.

“Tougher times but better discipline within the company on the cost management side (meant) that they were still able to come in and beat the bottom line pretty nicely by a few percentage points.”

Net profit for the quarter ended March 31 was $1.42 billion, or $4.49 cents a share, up from $1.31 billion, or $4.12 a share, a year earlier.

Excluding special items, Google earned $5.16 a share, ahead of the average Wall Street forecast of $4.93 according to Reuters Estimates. The figure also beat the “whisper number” of $5 per share that some analysts and investors were expecting.

Google executives said lower labor costs, as the company reset performance based bonuses for the new year, kept expenses in line. And after several years in which Google expanded its workforce, the company’s headcount declined slightly in the first quarter to 20,164 employees worldwide.

Google announced three rounds of layoffs in the first quarter, although the 200 sales and marketing job cuts announced in March were not reflected in the latest headcount.

“Good quarter considering the environment,” said Youssef Squali, managing director at Jefferies and Co. “Cost containment, including capex, was pretty impressive, which is what’s needed to make the stock work short-term.”

ON YOUTUBE, TWITTER

Separately, Google’s YouTube said it has signed a deal with Sony Corp (6758.T) to add the company’s films and TV shows to the video-sharing site and that it was talking with other big studios. [ID:nN16520771]

Schmidt said Google did not have any intention of changing its “conservative view towards cash management,” in a sign that a major acquisition may not be on the near horizon.

However, Schmidt said Google would be happy to pursue an advertising partnership with companies like Twitter, the microblogging site that is often cited as a possible acquisition target for the Internet search giant.

Google also said it expected to continue to make significant capital expenditures, but did not provide financial forecasts, following its custom.

Shares of Google rose as high as $410 before falling back to $388.24, compared with their Nasdaq close of $388.74. The stock had risen about 30 percent in the past three months.

PAID CLICKS UP 17 PCT

Google said paid clicks, by Web surfers on its text-based search ads, rose 17 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.

But the revenue that Google derives per click appears to have declined, as advertisers reduced the bids they make for keywords in Google’s auction-based advertising system.

“Consumers are clicking on more ads before they buy. And in response advertisers are only prepared to bid a lower amount for keywords,” said Sanford Bernstein analyst Jeff Lindsay who estimated that Google’s revenue per click declined 11 percent in the first quarter.

Still, Lindsay said the continued growth in paid clicks offset the lower revenue per click, as overall revenue increased during the quarter.

Google executives said the company continues to benefit from advertisers shifting marketing dollars online, where the return on investment is greater than for other forms of advertising.

As Google’s growth rate slows amid the tough economic environment, CFO Patrick Pichette said seasonal fluctuations in business activity would become more apparent in the company’s results.

Google said the second and third quarters are seasonally weak.

Google also said Omid Kordestani would step down as senior vice president of global sales and business development to become senior advisor to the office of the CEO. He will be replaced by Nikesh Arora, Google’s president of international operations.

The change comes one month after Tim Armstrong, head of Americas operations, left Google to become CEO of Time Warner Inc’s (TWX.N) AOL unit. (Additional reporting by Gina Keating, Sue Zeidler and Gabe Madway; Editing by Tiffany Wu and Richard Chang)
