CGSE to Sign Agreement With DigitalGlobe, Supplier of Satellite Imagery to Google Earth
Columbus Geographic Systems (GIS) Ltd. (OTC: CGSE) ("Columbus") announced it has reached an important understanding with DigitalGlobe, world leader in high-resolution commercial imagery. DigitalGlobe also supplies the popular Google Earth website with its images. According to the understanding, Columbus will have access to DigitalGlobe's digital image bank for use in the Ranger navigation system.
DigitalGlobe operates three imaging satellites: Worldview I, Worldview II, and QuickBird. These satellites collect the highest resolution commercial imagery of the Earth, and offer the largest image size, and greatest on-board storage capacity and resolution compared to any other commercial satellite imagery available today.
The market has become increasingly aware of the advantages of navigation and Global Positioning System (GPS) tools, especially for vehicle navigation systems. These tools include both built-in systems and Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs), which are handheld devices that users can carry with them and use in their vehicles. Industry analysts estimate that sales of PNDs will grow from approximately 14 million units in 2006 to approximately 56 million units in 2011. As the demand for these personal navigation devices continues to grow, so does the need for better quality images covering more parts of the world.
Columbus is a rapidly growing player in the geographic imaging systems and navigation industry. The company's leading product, Ranger, is a cutting-edge navigation software package providing location-based, GPS mapping, navigation, and information solutions for the off-road environment.
"High-quality mapping images are an essential component of any effective navigation system. Access to DigitalGlobe's advanced images will enable us to dramatically improve the scope and quality of the Ranger," says Columbus CEO, Tsvika Freidman. "We are determined to maintain our position as a leading player in the world of navigation systems and are very excited to partner with DigitalGlobe to enable us to maintain and enhance this position."

China 3C Group (OTCBB: CHCG), a retailer and wholesale distributor of consumer and business products in China, today announced preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Net sales for the second quarter 2008 is expected to be in the range of $81.5-$82.5 million, which would be a 26%-28% increase compared to the prior year second quarter results of $64.5 million.
Net income for the second quarter 2008 is expected to be in the range of $7.3-$7.4 million, which would be a 33%-35% increase compared to the prior year second quarter results of $5.5 million. Second quarter 2008 diluted earnings per share is expected to be approximately $0.14 compared to $0.10 in the same period last year.
Mr. Zhenggang Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, ''We are very pleased with our preliminary second quarter results, which exceeded our internal plan. Our sales growth benefitted from a net increase in new doors, healthy demand for electronic products in most of our key categories, a broader product selection from the prior year period as well as from certain, new consumer-oriented programs that focus on service and increasing awareness of our expanding portfolio of brands.
Our net income improved largely due to increased sales results, the exit from unproductive doors as well as a lower tax rate in the second quarter compared to the prior year. We also anticipate a sequential improvement in gross margin for the second quarter. Overall, we are encouraged with our second quarter performance and continue to work aggressively to further enhance our position in China's electronic consumer industry,'' concluded Wang.
