VANCOUVER - Sierra Systems Group Inc., a leading information technology and management consulting services company, announced today that it will acquire privately-held RIS, Inc. - a top provider of applications support and maintenance services (ASM).

RIS supports, maintains and enhances critical computer applications for some of North America's largest companies. Founded in 1979, the Calgary-based company's portfolio of ASM-specific services range from IT staffing to full application outsourcing.

RIS' expertise in the managed service provider market, particularly in the areas of ASM and staff augmentation, will enable Sierra Systems to provide private and public sector customers across North America with a full range of IT services - from management consulting and project implementation, to support and maintenance of those solutions over time. The acquisition will also provide Sierra Systems with an enhanced presence across Canada - especially in Calgary and Toronto but also in other areas where RIS has a presence including Regina and Edmonton, as well as Bucharest, Romania and the United States.

"RIS brings thought and market-leadership in the managed service provider space, as well as a strong service delivery track record in enterprise resource planning, business intelligence and data warehousing," explains Joe Campbell, Sierra Systems' President and CEO. "Together with Sierra Systems' expertise in delivering large projects, linking strategy with results and offering a flexible delivery model, we will be able to build upon our exceptional customer satisfaction levels and enhance our service offering to our clients."

"Today's announcement opens an exciting new chapter in a story that began more than a quarter-century ago," says RIS President, CEO and Founder Dr. Peter Thompson. "It's a natural extension of our vision for applications support and maintenance, and our strategy for leadership in niche IT services. For our clients and our team - many of whom have been with us from day one - it means even greater resources, services and opportunities."

Golden Gate Capital, the San Francisco-based private equity investment firm that took Sierra Systems private earlier this year, supported Sierra in the acquisition. According to Golden Gate Capital Managing Director David Dominik, "We look for information technology services companies with world-class cultures and sustained track records of delivering superior results for their clients. Sierra and RIS have both. The opportunities created by combining these two organizations with very complementary services offerings, vertical expertise, and geographical presence will position the combined company to achieve the next stage in its growth."

The acquisition is expected to close on November 30, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, RIS' operations and its over 250 employees and 350 subcontractors will operate under the Sierra Systems' name.

Waterloo, ON – MKS Inc. announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 ended October 31, 2007. All amounts are reported in US dollars under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Financial & Operational Highlights: Q2 2008 (compared with Q2 2007)

Total revenue increased 18 percent to a record $13.6 million from $11.5 million.

Net income increased to $0.2 million or $0.00 per share from a net loss of ($0.7) million or ($0.01) per share.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) revenues increased 23 percent to $11.9 million from $9.7 million.

ALM license revenue rose 23 percent to $4.2 million from $3.4 million.

ALM maintenance revenues increased 19 percent to $5.6 million from $4.7 million.

ALM service revenues increased 33 percent to $2.1 million from $1.6 million.

New business was won at Chase Paymentech, ING, Medtronic, Migaro and Professional Data Solutions, and follow-on wins with Continental, Fortis Bank, HSBC, IT Frontier, Torstar, Northrop Grumman, TietoEnator and Trading Technologies.

Closing cash balance at October 31, 2007 was $9.9 million, down from $11.9 million at July 31, 2007.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of record revenues as well as a return to overall profitability," said Philip Deck, CEO of MKS. "Solid improvements in ALM licensing, maintenance and services and focused cost control contributed to our profitability in spite of substantial currency-related cost increases."

"We accomplished our record revenue this quarter based on a series of relatively modest transactions from both long term accounts and new ones," said Michael Harris, MKS President and COO. "We continue to invest substantial field resources on several long term customer initiatives that are steadily maturing. We believe that the combination bodes well for growth looking forward."

Financial Review

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $13.6 million, an increase of 18 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of ($0.7) million or ($0.01) per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Six month revenues for fiscal 2008 increased 13 percent to $27.2 million compared with revenues of $24.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. Six month net loss was ($0.1) million, a decrease from a net loss of ($1.2) million for the same period in fiscal 2007.

Second quarter fiscal 2008 application lifecycle management (ALM) revenues increased 23 percent to $11.9 million, compared to revenues of $9.7 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Six month ALM revenues for fiscal 2008 increased 17 percent to $23.6 million from $20.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007.

Outlook & Guidance

MKS expects that ALM license revenue will improve in fiscal 2008 from the levels of fiscal 2007 which, combined with continued increases in maintenance and services revenue, will result in higher total revenue for the fiscal year compared to fiscal 2007, more than offsetting expected declines in Interoperability revenue.

MKS is managing its cost base to sustain current sales and marketing capacity and is making further investments in sales resources only to the extent that consistent profitability can be expected throughout its planning horizon. MKS expects full year profitability for fiscal 2008 based on increasing revenue and carefully managed costs. For the fiscal year 2008, the significant volatility in MKS operating currencies has represented a substantial planning challenge.

MKS expects to maintain more than sufficient cash balances through fiscal 2008 through the combination of expected improvements in net income, reduced capital expenditures over those in fiscal 2007 and an expected continuation of lower overall receivables days net of current dividend policy. The Company expects that seasonal factors will cause inflows of cash in the second half of the fiscal year as the Company’s annual maintenance renewals are more heavily weighted to the last two quarters of the fiscal year.

Waterloo – MKS Inc. announced November 26, 2007 that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of US $0.02 per share on the Company's outstanding common shares in accordance with its dividend policy. The cash dividend will be payable on January 15, 2008 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2007.

The dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for the purposes of section 89 of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Rule 10b5-1 and the Canadian Legislation permit insiders to adopt written ASDPs (generally referred to in the United States as "Rule 10b5-1 Plans") to sell, donate or otherwise transfer shares in the future (including upon exercise of stock options) according to the ASDP on an automatic basis regardless of any subsequent material non-public information they receive. Once an ASDP is established, the insider is not permitted to exercise any further discretion or influence over how dispositions will occur under the ASDP. RIM recognizes that insiders may have reasons unrelated to their assessment of a company or its prospects in determining to effect transactions in that company's common shares under an ASDP. These reasons might include, for example, charitable donations, tax and estate planning, retirement planning, the purchase of a home, the payment of university tuition for a child, the establishment of a trust, the balancing of assets and diversification of investments in an orderly manner, or other personal reasons. RIM also recognizes that many of its officers and employees have a substantial portion of their personal net worth represented by securities of the Company, and that a number of RIM's officers have been subject to lengthy restrictions on their ability to effect trades in RIM's common shares because of regular and special trading blackouts imposed on such officers under the Company's Insider Trading Policy and the management cease trade order (MCTO) issued by the Ontario Securities Commission in October 2006 at the Company's request.

In addition to meeting the basic requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Canadian Legislation, RIM has established additional measures designed to conform with "best practices" relating to ASDPs. Those measures include the following: (i) ASDPs may only be adopted during a trading window; (ii) a "cooling-off" period of three months (30 days for pre-existing charitable commitments) will generally be required between the adoption of the ASDP and the first sale under the ASDP; (iii) an ASDP should generally have a duration of 12-24 months; (iv) the ASDP must contain meaningful restrictions on the ability of the insider to modify or terminate the ASDP; and (v) the ASDP should generally provide for regular sales of smaller amounts (relative to an insider's holdings) over a period of time rather than large sales during a short period of time after adoption of the ASDP. In addition, RIM's Insider Trading Policy requires all ASDPs to be pre-cleared by the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof. The Board of Directors will also consider such other "best practices" as they exist at the time an insider adopts an ASDP and may impose such additional requirements, or grant such exceptions, as it determines are necessary or appropriate.

Following the amendment to RIM's Insider Trading Policy, the following officers of the Company have opted to establish ASDPs prior to the closing of RIM's current trading window today:

• Jim Balsillie (Co-Chief Executive Officer) – Mr. Balsillie's ASDP provides for the donation of Cdn$38 million of common shares of RIM to certain charitable organizations and educational or research institutions, as well as the sale of Cdn$86 million of common shares of RIM over the 13-month term of the ASDP (including in each case common shares issuable upon exercises of stock options held by Mr. Balsillie). These amounts represent a small portion of Mr. Balsillie's beneficial ownership of RIM's shares.

• Mike Lazaridis (President and Co-Chief Executive Officer) – Mr. Lazaridis' ASDP provides for the donation of up to Cdn$75 million of common shares of RIM by Mr. Lazaridis (or companies controlled by Mr. Lazaridis) to certain charitable organizations and educational or research institutions, as well as the sale of up to Cdn$100 million of common shares of RIM over a minimum 14-month term (maximum 18-month) of the ASDP. These amounts represent a small portion of Mr. Lazaridis' beneficial ownership of RIM's shares.

• Larry Conlee (Chief Operating Officer – Product Development and Manufacturing) – Mr. Conlee's ASDP provides for the sale of 578,500 common shares of RIM upon exercises of options held by Mr. Conlee over the 12-month term of the ASDP.

• Dennis Kavelman (Chief Operating Officer – Administration and Operations) – Mr. Kavelman's ASDP provides for the transfer of 240,000 common shares of RIM upon the exercise of options held by Mr. Kavelman to a charitable foundation established by Mr. Kavelman and his wife and the subsequent sale of such shares by the foundation pursuant to its ASDP, as well as the sale of up to 500,000 common shares upon exercises of stock options held by Mr. Kavelman over the 18-month term of his ASDP. In addition to the options subject to the ASDPs, Mr. Kavelman has 492,000 vested and unvested RIM stock options as well as RIM shares.

• Don Morrison (Chief Operating Officer – BlackBerry) – Mr. Morrison's ASDP provides for the donation of 95,000 common shares of RIM upon exercises of stock options held by Mr. Morrison to certain charitable organizations and a charitable foundation established by Mr. Morrison and his wife, as well as the sale of 265,000 common shares upon exercises of options held by Mr. Morrison over the 12-month term of the ASDP.

• Karima Bawa (Vice President, Legal) – Ms. Bawa's ASDP provides for the sale of up to 275,750 common shares of RIM (including common shares issuable upon exercises of options held by Ms. Bawa) over the 12-month term of the ASDP.

• Norm Lo (Vice President, Asia/Pacific) – Mr. Lo's ASDP provides for the sale of up to 210,000 common shares of RIM upon exercises of options held by Mr. Lo over the 13-month term of the ASDP.

• Elizabeth Roe Pfeifer (Vice President, Organizational Development) – Ms. Roe Pfeifer's ASDP provides for the sale of up to 50,350 common shares of RIM (including common shares issuable upon exercises of options held by Ms. Roe Pfeifer) over the 8-month term of the ASDP. In light of the smaller number of shares to be sold by Ms. Roe Pfeifer, RIM's Board of Directors granted Ms. Roe Pfeifer an exemption from the requirement that the ASDP have a minimum 12-month term.

Dispositions by the insiders under their respective ASDPs will be reported in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws (RIM's insiders are exempt from filing insider reports under U.S. securities laws) and on Forms 144 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by any officers or directors who sell such securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each such filing will bear a notation to advise readers that the dispositions relate to an ASDP.

Other insiders of the Company may from time to time adopt ASDPs during trading windows. RIM will issue a press release to announce the adoption of any other ASDPs by its directors or officers.

As previously announced, in May 2007, RIM completed a management-initiated review of its historical stock option granting practices, which resulted in a restatement of its previously filed U.S. GAAP financial statements. The section of RIM's MD&A for fiscal 2007 titled "Explanatory Note Regarding the Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements" describes the background, scope and findings of the internal review of stock option practices that was completed by a Special Committee of RIM's Board of Directors, summarizes the accounting impact of the restatement adjustments on the Company's U.S. GAAP financial statements, and outlines the measures implemented by the Company in response to the recommendations of the Special Committee. The Company has also disclosed that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission are conducting investigations in connection with the Company's historical stock option granting practices. While it is not possible to predict at this time what action may result from the investigations, the Company anticipates that RIM or certain of its directors or officers may be subject to potential enforcement action, and could be subject to other potential risks and outcomes, which are described in greater detail under the heading "Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements" in RIM's MD&A for the three months and six months ended September 1, 2007, and under the heading "Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Company's Stock Option Granting Practices – Matters relating to the Company's internal review of its stock option granting practices, the restatement of the Company's previously filed financial statements as a result of the review, and regulatory investigations or litigation relating to those matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company" in RIM's Annual Information Form for fiscal 2007 (filed as part of RIM's Annual Report on Form 40-F). Copies of such filings may be obtained at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. Such actions or outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The following is a statement on opposition to the Google DoubleClick deal by Cord Blomquist, Technology Policy Analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute:

“Kohl and Hatch overlook the merger’s benefits to consumers. A Google-DoubleClick merger would offer a vastly improved product to content-driven websites. One of the greatest challenges on the web is generating ad clicks, which are a crucial revenue source. With individualized information, Google-DoubleClick would be able to deliver tailored ads, better informing consumers of products they might actually purchase and giving fledgling websites a shot at establishing a strong online presence.

“The Senators’ concerns about market consolidation are unfounded. They depict the web advertising market as static—yet the last decade has shown the dynamic nature of Internet commerce. The history of the Internet is littered with former giants like AOL, AltaVista, and Lycos that lost significant market share or went bust because they couldn’t keep innovating. The real competition to Google-DoubleClick may not even exist yet—Google itself was a grad student science project a decade ago. Startups can grow exponentially in a short time on the web. Facebook, a $10-billion gorilla today, didn’t even exist four years ago. Established advertising powerhouses like Microsoft and Yahoo also pose a threat to Google in the marketplace. Both have recently bought ‘ad serving’ companies in anticipation of competing with Google.

“The efficiency of the free market is nowhere more evident than on the Web, where creativity matters far more than market leverage. Government intervention would undermine this innovative spirit, just as antitrust prosecutions against Microsoft retarded the pace of progress. If federal regulators reject the proposed Google acquisition, Internet users will be the ultimate victims.”

Veselic brings extensive knowledge of Christie product lines and diverse customer base, most recently as vice president of global quality. He is widely recognized for a customer-centric approach to business that has contributed to Christie's reputation for delivering quality, award-winning products and solutions backed by an unprecedented level of customer support. Working on several fronts, he will set market strategies and create new product and solution roadmaps for simulation, advanced visualization/3D, and control room customers globally. Veselic and his team will help drive Christie's system integration and fulfillment of complex visualization solutions and accelerate product development cycles to ensure a continuous influx of new products that leapfrog the competition.

"Zoran is responsible for some of Christie's major developments in a wide range of markets. For example, he helped introduce the renowned 'Roadie' series of powerful DLP(r) projectors that revolutionized the fixed installation and rental/staging markets," notes Gerry Remers, president and COO, Christie Digital Systems Canada, Inc. "As Christie's international initiatives continue to accelerate, and our company achieves new industry milestones, Zoran will be an integral part of our continued success aggressively pursuing new opportunities and establishing our leadership worldwide."

"As the leader in visual display solutions, Christie introduced the world's first purpose-built DLP projection products and solutions for 3D/virtual reality, simulation, and control rooms," observed Veselic. "I am proud to be part of a team of world-class experts who consistently deliver the most innovative systems and solutions for visual environments."

Veselic notes that in recent years Christie has taken the leadership as a system provider and integrator of complex visual displays, including multi-sided, immersive environments. Christie's TotalVIEW(tm) solutions have ushered in a new age of sophistication for medical, education, oil and gas exploration, and entertainment applications, as well applications in the manufacturing and government sectors.

This strategic acquisition strengthens Exact's business empowerment solution portfolio by adding Longview's powerful CPM platform and accelerates Exact's expansion into the higher end of the mid-market. In turn, Longview benefits from Exact's financial strength and geographic footprint as it continues to deliver best-in-class CPM software and services to the enterprise market and further expands into the mid-market.

Reiteration of Guidance for 2007

For 2007 Exact has given a guidance of organic license revenue growth of 6-8% and an EBIT margin of at least 20% excluding acquisitions. Subject to finding the right acquisition targets Exact has given a guidance of annualized revenue of € 300 million by the end of 2007 and at least 20% EBIT margin. These acquisitions will be in line with its defined M&A strategy and will be funded by using current cash availability and if necessary, leverage on the balance sheet. Acquisitions may initially have a limited negative impact on the EBIT margin due to the required amortization of acquired customer bases under IFRS.
