SHANGHAI, China, May 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spreadtrum Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRD; the ''Company''), one of China's leading wireless baseband chipset providers, today announced its first quarter 2008 financial results. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.06 in the first quarter of 2008 (1Q08), an increase of 20% from US$0.05 in the same period in 2007 (1Q07). Net income for 1Q08 was US$2.8 million, an increase of 37% from US$2.0 million in 1Q07.
US GAAP net income for 1Q08 included US$1.9 million of share-based compensation expense and US$0.4 million of amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition. Excluding the impact of this share-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, the Company's non-GAAP net income for 1Q08 would have been US$5.0 million, up 55% from US$3.2 million in 1Q07. Diluted non-GAAP earnings per ADS in 1Q08 was US$0.11, up from US$0.08 in 1Q07.
Commenting on the results, the Company's President and CEO, Dr. Ping Wu, said:
''We are pleased that we were able to achieve our financial guidance in light of several factors that made this a challenging first quarter. Traditionally, Q1 is a seasonally slower quarter for the cellphone market. This year the market also had to work down a surplus of inventory from Q4 and cope with the impact of a snowstorm that disrupted travel and consumer spending. We were able to use this slower environment to streamline our internal operations, improve our product mix and enhance our product cost structure, which we believe will have a positive impact on profits in the 2nd half of this year.
On the business side, we completed our purchase of Quorum Systems in January and are far along in the integration of its R&D team and products into the combined Company. The joint team has already had some early successes in getting Quorum's RF transceivers designed into our customers' products and given this traction we are targeting a 30-40% attach rate for our basebands with Quorum's transceivers by the end of the year. Quorum's current products include low cost, low power single chip CMOS based multi-band transceivers for the GSM, GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, and WCDMA markets. With this acquisition we have more design options and more complete solutions for our customers--from 2G to 3G, physical layer software to protocol and applications.
On the 3G front, we are pleased that China Mobile began commercial trial in April and that two of our customers received a majority of the initial handset orders. We believe China Mobile will place two more rounds of handset orders in Q2 and Q3 respectively and that it has already begun to implement the 2nd phase of its TD-SCDMA network. We remain confident that we are well positioned for the ramp of this new technology in 2008 and beyond, as the market looks to ramp towards 100 million TD-based phones by 2011.
In addition to TD-SCDMA, we also have been working on additional growth drivers. We believe our recently announced mobile TV demodulator/decoder chip (the SC6600V) can work either as a stand-alone solution or with a host chip to address designers' needs and should become an important selling point for cellphones in the latter half of this year. The State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) already has commercial trials in 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, and is expected to have CMMB network in 37 cities by August with network installation planned for another 324 cities in 2009. The area covered by CMMB signals will increase further once a planned satellite is launched.
Most of our revenue in 2008 should still come from our refreshed portfolio of 2G/2.5G products that we believe includes unique integrated features on a single chip that have normally been available only on Smartphones, but that Spreadtrum has brought into mainstream phones - such features as touchscreen, Java, dual-SIM, 5 mega-pixel sensors, and robust API capabilities, enabling such services as cell based A-GPS. Therefore, we believe we have the portfolio to allow handset designers to be successful now, but the roadmap to expand, not just within China's production, but into the international export market as well.''
First Quarter 2008 Financial Review
Revenue
Revenue in the first quarter totaled US$39.5 million, representing an increase of 51% from 1Q07 but a seasonal decrease of 19% from 4Q07. Revenue from baseband semiconductors was US$35.5 million, or 90% of revenue, up from 79% of revenue in 1Q07, but a slight drop from 93% of revenue in 4Q07 given end-of-life orders from certain turnkey solution providers. Revenue from turnkey solutions was US$4.0 million, which represented 10% of revenue, down from 21% of revenue in 1Q07 and up from 7% of revenue in 4Q07.
Revenue from baseband semiconductors grew 73% from 1Q07 and decreased 21% from 4Q07 to US$35.5 million. Unit shipments of baseband semiconductors increased 96% from 1Q07 and decreased 25% from 4Q07. Nearly all baseband semiconductor shipments in the first quarter were 2G/2.5G related products. 3G products accounted for 1% of the baseband shipments in 1Q08. The average selling price per unit for baseband semiconductors increased by 8% from 4Q07 as a result of better product mix.
Revenue from turnkey solutions decreased during the quarter by 29% from 1Q07 and increased 11% from 4Q07 to US$4.0 million. The year-over-year decrease was a result of the Company's ongoing plan to phase out its SM5100 series modules, and the sequential increase reflected end-of-life purchases by the Company's modules customers.
Gross Margin
The gross margin for the quarter was 44.9%, up from 42.9% in 1Q07 and down from 45.5% in 4Q07. The non-GAAP gross margin was 45.1%, up from 43.1% in 1Q07 and down from 45.6% in 4Q07. Gross margin for baseband semiconductors in 1Q08 decreased approximately 0.7% from 1Q07, primarily as a result of a decline in the weighted average selling price. Gross margin for baseband semiconductors in 1Q08 increased 1.6% from 4Q07, primarily as a result of better product mix.
The cost of revenue in 1Q08 totaled US$21.7 million, representing an increase of 45% from 1Q07 and a decrease of 18% from 4Q07. The year-over-year increase in absolute dollars was driven by an increase in the total cost of baseband semiconductors from higher volumes partially offset by a decline in the total cost of turnkey solutions. The total cost of turnkey solutions declined as the Company continued to de-emphasize its SM5100 series module business. The sequential decrease was driven by a decrease in total wafer fabrication and assembly and testing costs as a result of the 25% decrease in baseband unit volume from 4Q07.
Operating Margin
The Company's operating margin was 5.1% in 1Q08, compared to 5.0% in 1Q07 and 17.6% in 4Q07. The year-over-year improvement in operating margin was due to higher gross margin and lower SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue partially offset by an increase in R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Quorum Systems, whose primary activities are the research and development of radio frequency transceivers. The sequential decrease in operating margin was primarily attributed to higher R&D expenses as a result of the Quorum acquisition and higher SG&A expenses, as percentages of revenue. Excluding stock based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, the non-GAAP operating margin in 1Q08 was 10.8%, up from 9.7% in 1Q07 and down from 20.7% in 4Q07.
Total operating expenses in 1Q08, which include selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses, were US$15.7 million, representing increases of 59% from 1Q07 and 17% from 4Q07. Total operating expenses for the quarter represented 39.9% of revenue, compared to 37.9% and 27.8% of revenue in 1Q07 and 4Q07, respectively. Excluding stock based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, total non-GAAP operating expenses in 1Q08 were US$13.6 million, representing increases of 55% from 1Q07 and 12% from 4Q07. Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter represented 34.3% of revenue.
SG&A expenses increased by 22% in 1Q08 from 1Q07 and 15% from 4Q07 and represented 12.1% of revenue. These expenses as a percentage of revenue in 1Q08 improved from 15.0% of revenue in 1Q07 primarily due to lower fees for professional services and higher revenue level in 1Q08. These expenses as a percentage of revenue in 1Q08 increased from 8.6% of revenue in 4Q07 primarily due to lower revenue level in 1Q08. The year-over-year dollar increase was driven primarily by higher salary and benefits as a result of headcount addition, share-based compensation expense, marketing and business travel expense, partially offset by lower fees for professional services. The sequential dollar increase was driven primarily by higher salary and benefits as a result of headcount additions, higher stock-based compensation, marketing and professional service expenses.
R&D expenses in 1Q08 increased 83% year-over-year and 17% sequentially and represented 27.8% of revenue in 1Q08, compared to 22.9% in 1Q07 and 19.3% in 4Q07. The R&D expenses associated with Quorum Systems, which acquisition was completed in mid-January 2008, represented 4.9% of revenue. The year-over- year and sequential dollar increases were driven primarily by the Company's efforts to expand its product portfolio and the impact of the Quorum acquisition. These increases included higher expenses related to salary and benefits, higher stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-recurring engineering expense, partially offset by an increase in government grants for R&D projects.
Non-Operating Income
In 1Q08, the Company recorded net interest income of US$0.8 million, representing an increase of US$0.4 million from 1Q07 and a decrease of US$0.7 million from 4Q07. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributed to interest earned from investing the higher balance of cash and cash equivalents arising from the Company's initial public offering. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, as a result of the Quorum purchase, and declines in interest rates.
Earnings
Diluted earnings per ADS was US$0.06, up 20% from US$0.05 in 1Q07 and down 73% from US$0.22 in 4Q07. Excluding stock based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS for 1Q08 was US$0.11, up from US$0.08 in 1Q07 and down from US$0.25 in 4Q07.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had US$97.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, which represented a decrease of US$59.8 million from December 31, 2007 due primarily to the US$55.4 million cash portion spent on the Quorum acquisition. In 1Q08, the Company also used US$2.7 million cash for operating activities, US$1.2 million on property and equipment, and US$1.4 million on intangible assets.
Accounts receivable (A/R) decreased from US$2.2 million at December 31, 2007 to US$1.4 million at March 31, 2008, and the average A/R days decreased from 5 days to 4 days. Inventory at March 31, 2008 was US$20.3 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from December 31, 2007, and the inventory days decreased from 86 days to 85 days, which is in-line with the Company's targets needed for the ramp up of several new products in 2008. Total assets as of December 31, 2007 were US$257.5 million, up 8.7% from US$236.9 million at December 31, 2007.
Current liabilities decreased from US$43.6 million at December 31, 2007 to US$28.0 million at March 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable. Long-term liabilities at March 31, 2008 were US$19.8 million, compared to US$5.4 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to an increase of deferred tax liability resulted from the Quorum acquisition.
Promotion
The Company promoted Dr. Yi Kang to the position of Vice President of Marketing. Dr. Kang joined Spreadtrum in 2003 and has worked on a number of different assignments. As the project manager, he led the team that developed the industry's first GSM/TD-SCDMA single chip baseband (SC8800). Later, he was the head of the Company's Beijing office, built up the R&D team in Beijing, and cultivated relationships with universities, the business community, and government agencies. Most recently he was the head of the Mobile Multimedia unit and led the team that developed the Company's CMMB-based mobile TV chip. Dr. Yi Kang received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Business Outlook:
The Company currently expects revenue in the second quarter to be approximately US$40 million to US$41 million, which represents a sequential increase of 2% to 4% from the US$39.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. A few select customers were undergoing restructuring efforts that began in Q1 and as a result are seeing some slower growth in Q2. We have engaged with several new customers in China and expect to see some initial ramp with these new customers in the 3rd and 4th quarters. In addition, as we begin to ramp up our mobile TV chip and as the TD-SCDMA market continues to ramp, we believe we should see a meaningful resumption of growth in our business during the 2nd half of this year.
The Company estimates its operating margin in 2Q08 should be in the range of 4%-5%, approximately flat from the Q1 level. The Company estimates its stock-based compensation expense will be approximately $2 million in the second quarter.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition. The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the Company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles from the Quorum acquisition.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin, non- GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the US GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Listed below are the share-based compensation amounts included in net income that management excludes in computing the non-GAAP financial measures referred to in the text of this press release. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented after the consolidated balance sheets.

ATA's Chief Financial Officer, Carl Yeung, stated, "Our revenue and operating profitability for the full year has reached new milestones. For the quarter, despite a continuing slow down in growth of our test-based educational services and a delay in the launch of nationwide internet cafe licensure testing, we have continued to meet our revenue and profitability expectations as we experienced an increase in volume of test takers from Ministry of Labor and Securities Association of China."
Preliminary Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter 2008
For Fourth Quarter 2008, ATA estimates net revenues to be approximately RMB29.8 million (US$4.3 million), representing an 84.0% increase year-over-year. This increase was mainly driven by an estimated 263.7% increase in net revenues from testing services, and an estimated 31.2% increase in net revenues from test-based educational programs.
The overall number of tests delivered increased by 89.0% year-over-year to approximately 597,000 in Fourth Quarter 2008, while the average revenue per test delivered rose to RMB19.1 from RMB9.9 in the same period of fiscal year 2007. This increase in average revenue per test was due, in part, to a significant increase in the number of tests delivered for the Securities Association of China and Ministry of Labor.
Gross profit estimated to increase by 290.3% year-over-year to approximately RMB16.7 million (US$2.4 million) from RMB4.3 million in the same period last year. Gross margin estimated to increase to 56.1% in the Fourth Quarter 2008 from 26.4% in the same period last year, driven by higher contribution from the Company's more profitable testing services as a percentage of total net revenue.
Operating expenses estimated to increase by 26.4% year-over-year to approximately RMB21.4 million (USS$3.0 million) from RMB16.9 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses related to share-based compensation, an increase in our research and development staff, and incremental expenses related to being a public company.
Loss from operations estimated to decrease to approximately RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million) from RMB12.6 million in the same period last year. Operating margin expected to be negative 15.4% in Fourth Quarter 2008 compared to negative 77.7% in the same period last year. Operating margin improved due to stable operating expenses and a fast-growing revenue base.
For the quarter, ATA estimates to have incurred a foreign currency loss of RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million) primarily due to a high US dollar cash balance from the January IPO proceeds and RMB appreciated against the US dollar during the quarter.
Net loss for Fourth Quarter 2008 was approximately RMB10.8 million (US$1.5 million), compared to net loss of RMB11.8 million in the same period last year. Basic and diluted loss per common share expected to be RMB0.30 (US$0.04), and basic and diluted loss per ADS were RMB0.60 (US$0.09).
Net loss excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non-GAAP) expected to be RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) for Fourth Quarter 2008 compared to loss of RMB11.1 million in the same period last year. Basic and diluted loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non-GAAP) were expected to be RMB0.07 (US$0.01).
Preliminary Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 ATA reported net revenues of approximately RMB172.8 million (US$24.6 million), representing a 103.6% increase over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Total number of tests delivered was approximately 3.6 million, an increase of 8.9% over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, while average revenue per test increased to approximately RMB21.5 from RMB7.4 the prior year.
Gross profit margin for the full year expected to expand to approximately 61.3% compared to 51.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Operating margin expected to improve to approximately 14.8% compared to negative 23.1% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Net income was approximately RMB15.1 million (US$2.2 million), and net income excluding share-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange losses (non-GAAP) was approximately RMB30.5 million (US$4.4 million).

This is ATA's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change. Our results of operations for Fourth Quarter 2008 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

Other Announcements:
On May 13, 2008, ATA has completed the domestic PRC approvals required for acquisition of Beijing Jindixin Software Technology Company Limited, or Beijing Jindixin, and its parent company, JDX Holdings Limited. This acquisition is expected to expand ATA's business by allowing ATA to market test delivery services to test sponsors that are using software developed by Beijing Jindixin. This will expand ATA's scope of services to test sponsors that wish to outsource their test management systems, and leverage the relationships developed by the management of Beijing Jindixin with test sponsors.
ATA recorded registration of 470,000 test takers for the China Banking Association test scheduled to take place between May 31, 2008 and June 1, 2008. ATA expects its revenue per test taker for this client to decrease from RMB74 per test taker in fiscal year 2008 to RMB64 per test taker in fiscal year 2009. This is due to the China Banking Association lowering the test fee paid by candidates from RMB150 to RMB100. Although the test fee has been reduced, ATA will receive an effective higher revenue split of 64%, up from 49%. ATA will also reduce certain services in order to protect its profit per test taker. ATA believes that lower fees paid by test candidates will further support the high growth momentum for China Banking Association test takers. In addition, the new arrangement demonstrates ATA's strong position as an established test delivery provider in China.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "look forward to," "outlook," "forecast," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate" and similar terminology and include, among other things, the Company's anticipated financial and operating results for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. Among the factors that could cause the Company's actual financial and operating results to differ from what the Company currently anticipate may include the Company's ability to meet challenges associated with its rapid expansion, the Company's ability to meet the expectations of current and future clients, the Company's ability to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the health of the PRC economy, and uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal and regulatory environments. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's prospectus dated January 28, 2008, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov/. For additional information on these and other important factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, se "Risk Factors" beginning on page 9 of our prospectus.
The forward-looking statements in this release involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and the markets in which it operates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, which speak only of the Company's views as of the date of this release, to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that its expectations will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement ATA's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), ATA uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: net income excluding share-based compensation expenses and foreign currency exchange losses and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and foreign currency exchange losses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.
ATA believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses and foreign currency exchange losses, which may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. ATA believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to ATA's historical performance and liquidity. ATA computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the consistent method from quarter to quarter. ATA believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP net income excluding share- based compensation expenses and basic and diluted earnings per share and per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses is that share-based compensation charges have been and are expected to continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in ATA's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table captioned "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end this release, has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures used by ATA.
Currency Convenience Translation
The Company's financial information is stated in RMB. The translation of RMB amounts for the Fourth Quarter 2008 into United States dollars is included solely for the convenience of readers and has been made at the rate of RMB7.0120 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate as of March 31, 2008 in the City of New York for cable transfers in RMB per US dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB amounts could be converted into US dollar at that rate or any other rate, or to be the amounts that would have been reported under US GAAP.

Autodesk Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Revenue of $599 Million
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. today reported revenue of $599 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 18 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008. First quarter net income was $95 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis and $117 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis. Net income in the first quarter of the prior year was $83 million, or $0.34 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $107 million, or $0.44 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.
"Fiscal 2009 is off to a good start with our solid first quarter results," said Carl Bass, Autodesk president and CEO. "International markets, especially emerging economies, continue to underpin our overall revenue growth. We also continue to experience strong growth of our 3D products. Autodesk continues to drive innovative design technologies into a variety of industries - architecture, engineering, manufacturing, media and entertainment - and we will continue to work hard to shape the evolution of industry design trends such as Digital Prototyping and Building Information Modeling."
Operational Highlights
In addition to favorable currency exchange rates, Autodesk's performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was driven by revenue from new seats, continued customer adoption of our 3D design solutions, and strong revenue growth in emerging economies.
Revenue from the emerging economies increased 41 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $101 million and represented 17 percent of total revenue.
The outstanding growth in emerging economies led to strong performance in our EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. EMEA revenue was $259 million, an increase of 25 percent as reported over the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and 11 percent at constant currency. Revenue in Asia Pacific was $149 million, an increase of 27 percent as reported year-over-year, and 18 percent at constant currency. Faced with continued economic headwinds, revenue in the Americas increased 4 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $191 million, as expected.
Combined revenue from the Company's model-based 3D products, Inventor, Revit, Civil 3D, NavisWorks, and Robobat, increased 37 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $146 million and comprised 24 percent of total revenue. Autodesk shipped approximately 35,000 commercial seats of its model- based 3D design products, including 11,500 commercial seats of Inventor and 24,000 seats of its Architecture, Engineering and Construction products - Revit, Civil 3D, and NavisWorks. In addition, revenue from 2D vertical products increased 16 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Revenue from new seats increased by 23 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Upgrade revenue and maintenance revenue combined increased 16 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $228 million. Maintenance revenue increased 33 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $167 million, or 28 percent of total revenue. Deferred maintenance revenue increased $40 million sequentially and $130 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As expected, total upgrade revenue decreased 14 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Business Outlook
The following statements are forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and which involve risks and uncertainties some of which are set forth below. On May 1, 2008, Autodesk announced its intent to acquire Moldflow Corporation. Moldflow financials are not included in the following numbers.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2009
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $600 million and $610 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are now expected to be in the range of $0.40 and $0.42. This is slightly lower than our prior projection due to additional stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.52 and $0.54 and exclude $0.09 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.03 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2009
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 is expected to be in the range of $605 million and $620 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.42 and $0.45. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.53 and $0.56 and exclude $0.09 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.02 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.
Full Year Fiscal 2009
For fiscal year 2009, net revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.45 billion and $2.50 billion. Full year GAAP earnings per diluted share are now expected to be in the range of $1.78 and $1.88. This is slightly lower than our prior projection due to additional stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are still expected to be in the range of $2.20 and $2.30 and exclude $0.32 related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.10 for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements in the paragraphs under "Business Outlook" above, statements regarding anticipated market trends and other statements regarding our expected performance and results. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: general market and business conditions, our performance in particular geographies, including emerging economies, complications or difficulties closing our pending acquisition of Moldflow Corporation, difficulties encountered in integrating new or acquired businesses and technologies or the inability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, unexpected fluctuations in our tax rate, the timing and degree of expected investments in growth opportunities, slowing momentum in maintenance or subscription revenues, failure to achieve sufficient sell-through in our channels for new or existing products, pricing pressure, failure to achieve continued cost reductions and productivity increases, failure to achieve continued migration from 2D products to 3D products, changes in the timing of product releases and retirements, failure of key new applications to achieve anticipated levels of customer acceptance, failure to achieve continued success in technology advancements, the financial and business condition of our reseller and distribution channels, interruptions or terminations in the business of the Company's consultants or third party developers, and unanticipated impact of accounting for technology acquisitions.
Further information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of Autodesk are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2008 which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Autodesk does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
(In millions, except per share data)
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP
basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures
including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP
cost of license and other revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP interest
and other income, net and non-GAAP provision for income taxes. These
non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs,
expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense,
employee tax reimbursements related to our stock option review,
litigation expenses, in-process research and development expenses,
restructuring expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, investment
impairment and income tax expenses. See our reconciliation of GAAP
financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures herein. We believe
these exclusions are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of
our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as
well as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results.
These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of
providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of
Autodesk's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace
performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our
baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are
considered by management to be outside our core operating results. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary
indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of
future periods.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the
non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial
measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may
have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The
presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial
measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. Investors should review the
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying
this press release.
The following table shows Autodesk's non-GAAP results reconciled to GAAP
results included in this release.

(2) To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a
GAAP basis, Autodesk provides investors with certain non-GAAP measures
including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP
cost of license and other revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP interest
and other income, net and non-GAAP provision for income taxes. These
non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain costs,
expenses, gains and losses, including stock-based compensation expense,
employee tax reimbursements related to our stock option review,
litigation expenses, in-process research and development expenses,
restructuring expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, investment
impairment and income tax expenses. See our reconciliation of GAAP
financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures herein. We believe
these exclusions are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of
our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as
well as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results.
These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of
providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of
Autodesk's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace
performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our
baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are
considered by management to be outside our core operating results. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary
indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of
future periods.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the
non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial
measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may
have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The
presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial
measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. Investors should review the
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying
this press release.

Simclar Announces Results for First Quarter of 2008
HIALEAH, Fla., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simclar, Inc. , a multi-plant electronics contract manufacturer, reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $29,922,815 compared to $31,407,512 in the same period in 2007. The decrease, while disappointing, was due in the main to the postponement of the introduction of a key customer's new programs until later in the year.
Pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $59,101 compared to $967,634 for the same period in 2007. While this decrease was partly as a result of the decrease in sales, the most significant factor was the inclusion in the 2008 results of costs of approximately $797,000 in relation to the closure of our North Carolina facility.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $40,485 or $0.01 per share, compared to $638,639 or $0.10 per share in the same period in 2007. However, exclusion of the North Carolina closure costs would give an adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2008 of $566,304 or $0.09 per share.
Chairman Sam Russell commented, "The quarter's performance, although below our expectations, was nevertheless severely impacted by the $0.8 million of costs incurred as a result of the closure of our North Carolina facility. With the closure now complete and the transferred business now fully integrated into our Mexican facility, we look forward to the future benefits of improved profitability and cash flow. Although it is evident that the economic slow-down has affected some of our key customers, our backlog at the end of the quarter was $28 million, an increase of 6% since the end of 2007, and our forecasts indicate a stronger second quarter. Management has implemented cost-reduction programs across each location to mitigate the effect of lower sales and reduced margins to improve profitability in future quarters, while retaining our competitive advantage. The company's cash generation in the first quarter has been good allowing the repayment of $1.5 million of bank loans, half of which were voluntary repayments".
Simclar, Inc., with four North American manufacturing locations, and numerous regional sales locations, has been engaged in contract manufacturing of electronic and electro-mechanical products for OEMs for 32 years.

Document Capture Technologies Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Document Capture Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: DCMT) , a leading provider of secure imaging solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $2.5 million, a decrease of 39%, compared to $4.1 million in net sales for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in net sales in the quarter was primarily due to the timing and rescheduling of significant customer orders that resulted in a lower number of scanners shipped in the quarter and less favorable market conditions in the U.S. First quarter revenue comparisons were also impacted by pushed out orders from the fourth quarter of 2006 worth approximately $700,000 that were recognized in the first quarter of 2007.
David P. Clark, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Though the domestic spending environment remains challenged for growth, and we have seen some of this impact on our customers' quarterly order patterns, we remain optimistic in our ability to grow our business and look forward to being able to report additional progress in dialogs with strategic partners, new product launches, and new initiatives in the coming months. The strength of our balance sheet continues to work to our advantage and our business generated over one million dollars in cash for the quarter, a positive swing of approximately two million dollars compared to last year's first quarter."
Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2008 were $1.8 million, resulting in lower gross profit of $733,000, or 29% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $1.6 million, or 40% gross margin, based on $2.5 million cost of sales for the first quarter of 2007. The decreased gross margin percentage in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 was directly attributable to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese Yuan and certain product mix factors.
William Hawkins, Chief Operating Officer commented, "While we did experience some softness in orders, particularly due to the general slow down in consumer IT spending, |
