Tibetan Admin express concerns over twin self-immolations
Dharamsala: The Central Tibetan Administration has expressed its concern over the self- immolation of two Tibetans in Lhasa.

The two Tibetans, identified as Dhargye and Dorjee Tseten from the northeastern Tibet’s Ngaba and Labrang area, had set themselves on fire yesterday in front of Jokhang temple.

«No matter how the Chinese government attempts to present the self-immolations to the international community, such explanation will be met with deep scepticism so long as access to Tibetan areas, particularly where self-immolations took place, is denied to impartial observers…,» said Minister Dicki Chhoyang of the Department of Information and International Relations.

Meanwhile, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama returned to Dharamsala after his European trip.
In the coming weeks, the Dalai is scheduled to give his annual Buddhist teachings to Tibetan youngsters followed by a special introductory Buddhist teaching.

Bombardier Redefines e-mobility for Rail and Road with PRIMOVE Technology

BERLIN, GERMANY–(Marketwire -05/31/12-
Bombardier Transportation today presented a new application of its game-changing BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE solution to selected guests and media. The PRIMOVE system, which has been installed in a pilot demonstration area of the Augsburg tram network in Germany, transfers power contactlessly without the use of any overhead wires. In addition, Bombardier today revealed testing of the PRIMOVE solution on a passenger van, using the same technology.

Simultaneously, the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development announced funding for an electric bus project in the city of Braunschweig, Germany, where Bombardier will apply its emission-free PRIMOVE solution in partnership with the local transport operator Braunschweiger Verkehrs-AG. This initiative represents Bombardier’s first PRIMOVE bus project for passenger operation and marks a significant leap forward in bringing clean e-mobility solutions to urban areas.

Based on the principle of inductive power transfer, Bombardier’s innovative PRIMOVE technology allows electric vehicles to be recharged either in motion (dynamic charging or at rest (static charging without affecting driving habits or journey times. The system transfers energy at very high levels of efficiency without compromising on performance and can significantly reduce energy consumption when combined with an onboard energy storage solution. By eliminating the overhead cables and other wires previously needed to power electric vehicles, mass transit networks can now blend in effortlessly with their surroundings. City landmarks, parks and heritage sites are left intact and the overall attractiveness of the city is thereby enhanced.

Andre Navarri, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Transportation shared the company’s vision of e-mobility at today’s event: «As a global leader in rail technology, we have a bright vision for the cities of tomorrow. We imagine cities where all vehicles are electric – where mass transit vehicles do not alter the landscape but seamlessly integrate to provide quiet and emission-free urban mobility. And most importantly, we create e-mobility for all types of electric vehicles: trams, buses, cars, trucks, taxis. As you can see here in Augsburg today, this is not just a vision, we are already making it happen.»

Rainer Bomba, State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development added: «Electric mobility, transport planning and urban development have to be viewed together. Today already, we have mastered technologies for a smart and sustainable city of the future. It is now our task to bring these technologies into the market. The results of the trials in Augsburg clearly show that the technology is now ready for daily operations. I am glad to hand over the funding letter for the first line application of the PRIMOVE technology in Braunschweig today. We are interested to learn how a common infrastructure will be used by buses and other users such as taxis or delivery vehicles. We expect that the results will give us an important insight in the development of infrastructures and incentives for an accelerated introduction of electric vehicles into the transportation system. »

About the PRIMOVE pilot project in Augsburg

In September 2010, Bombardier Transportation, in cooperation with the Augsburg Transport Authority (Stadtwerke Augsburg Verkehrs-GmbH and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development, installed the contactless and catenary-free PRIMOVE system for trams on a section of the existing Line 3 to the exhibition grounds. One bi-directional Bombardier low-floor tram has been fitted with two PRIMOVE power receivers (pick-up coils to capture the inductive power transferred from cable segments laid between the rails and beneath the ground. Inverters along the track wayside are connected to a 750 Vdc power supply network. Simulating regular operations in an urban environment, the pilot demonstration proved the system’s exceptional reliability under all environmental conditions as well as full compliance with all applicable codes and standards for electromagnetic compatibility. Bombardier is supported by TUV SUD and other external assessors in this effort. Recently, the first automotive prototype has also been equipped with PRIMOVE technology to undergo a series of performance tests on the Augsburg track as well as at Bombardier’s new Centre of Excellence for electric mobility technology in Mannheim, Germany.

About the PRIMOVE project in Braunschweig

As of June 2012, Bombardier will cooperate with the city of Braunschweig and the local operator Braunschweiger Verkehrs-AG to turn a sectionof the bus network into an eco-friendly electric route. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development. The programme is scheduled to begin immediately with two buses operating with PRIMOVE technology on a 12 km route.

About additional PRIMOVE projects

PRIMOVE technology is being applied in various locations in Germany and beyond: From 2008 until 2009, a first prototype underwent extensive testing at the Bombardier site in Bautzen, Germany. A low-floor tram and a test track were equipped with the PRIMOVE components to test the system’s performance across a range of typical operating conditions. Since 2011, Bombardier, together with other leading industrial partners and universities, is participating in the Flanders` DRIVE research project for the inductive charging of electric vehicles in Belgium, which is co-funded by the Flemish government. A 125 m section of public road in the city of Lommel and a Van Hool bus have been equipped with PRIMOVE technology and both a bus and car are undergoing tests.

Recently, Bombardier opened its dedicated Centre of Excellence in Mannheim to support partnerships, projects and opportunities in the fast-moving e-mobility sector. The centre hosts a complete power test-lab set-up for all vehicle applications. Additionally, Bombardier has acquired several vehicles to conduct independent testing under real-life conditions.

Der US-Arbeitsmarkt dürfte seine langsame Erholung im Mai fortgesetzt haben. Darin sind sich alle von Dow Jones Newswires befragten Volkswirte einig. Im Mittel gehen sie davon aus, dass die Unternehmen außerhalb der Landwirtschaft in den vergangenen vier Wochen 155.000 zusätzliche Jobs geschaffen haben. Das reichte nicht aus, um die Arbeitslosenquote zu senken. Die Analysten gehen davon aus, dass sie bei 8,1 Prozent stehenbleiben wird. Im April waren 133. 000 Stellen hinzugekommen. Das Arbeitsministerium gibt am Freitag um 14.30 Uhr (MESZ die amtlichen Zahlen bekannt. Die Erwartungen haben einen Tag vor der Veröffentlichung der offiziellen Statistik einen Dämpfer erhalten. Die separat erhobenen Arbeitsmarktdaten des Datendienstleisters ADP waren schlechter als vorausgesagt ausgefallen. Demnach sind in der Privatwirtschaft nur 130.000 neue Arbeitsplätze entstanden. Volkswirte hatten zuvor mit 150.000 Jobs gerechnet.

Die asiatischen Aktienmärkte tendieren am Freitag uneinheitlich. Ein schwacher Einkaufsmanagerindex für das verarbeitende Gewerbe in China dämpft die Stimmung an vielen Börsen der Region, nicht jedoch an den Märkten in Hongkong und Schanghai. Dort haben die Daten Hoffnungen auf neuerliche wirtschaftliche Stimuli der chinesischen Regierung geweckt. Gesucht sind vor diesem Hintergrund Aktien von Banken wie Bank of China (+0,3 Prozent und China Construction Bank (+0,5 Prozent. An der Börse in Tokio werden Aktien exportorientierter Unternehmen verkauft, die nicht nur unter den schwachen chinesischen Wirtschaftsdaten leiden, sondern auch unter dem starken Yen. Fanuc fallen um 2,9 Prozent und Advantest um 5 Prozent. In Sydney mildern Hoffnungen auf Zinssenkungen der australischen Notenbank die Belastung durch die chinesischen Konjunkturdaten. Gleichwohl werden Aktien von Bergbauunternehmen gegeben. Unter anderem verlieren Rio Tinto 2 Prozent.

US-NACHBÖRSE

OmniVision Technologies hat mit einem schwachen Quartalsausblick am Donnerstag im nachbörslichen Handel für Druck auf die eigene Aktie gesorgt. Das Papier verlor auf nasdaq.com 8,5 Prozent. Das im Bereich Bildtechnologie tätige Unternehmen rechnet in seinem ersten Quartal mit einem bereinigten Gewinn je Aktie von 0,16 bis 0,27 Dollar, wohingegen Analysten bislang 0,29 Dollar erwarteten. Die Umsatzprognose von Omnivision liegt dagegen deutlich über den Konsenserwartung. Im berichteten vierten Quartal verbuchte das Unternehmen einen Gewinn- und Umsatzrückgang im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum. Vera Bradley schnellten dagegen um 8,9 Prozent nach oben, gestützt von besser als erwartet ausgefallenen Geschäftszahlen. Der Hersteller von Handtaschen und Mode-Accessoires senkte zudem seine Umsatzprognose für das Gesamtjahr leicht, hielt an seiner Gewinnschätzung allerdings fest.

Schwache Konjunkturdaten standen ermutigenden Signalen zur Schuldenkrise gegenüber. Spanien kann möglicherweise auf IWF-Hilfe bauen. Vom Start an ging es im Fahrwasser schwacher Konjunkturdaten zügig talwärts. Neben der Krise in Europa bremsten vor allem enttäuschende Daten vom US-Arbeitsmarkt. Konjunkturelles Störfeuer lieferte auch der Einkaufsmanagerindex für den Großraum Chicago. Im Mai fiel der Index auf dem tiefsten Stand seit September 2009. Das düstere Konjunkturbild wurde von den aktuellen BIP-Daten untermauert. Für eine deutliche Erholung der Aktienkurse sorgten dann Meldungen zu Spanien. Der IWF könnte dem Staat laut Kreisen bei der Bankenrettung unter die Arme greifen. Dies bremste die Talfahrt beim Euro aber nur moderat. Die Gemeinschaftswährung fiel auf ein neues Zweijahrestief bei 1,2337 Dollar. Am Aktienmarkt verloren Caterpillar 2,8 Prozent. Die Aktie sei technisch angeschlagen, hieß es.

Low Power = High Growth: Home Automation, Sports, Medical, and Retail Among …

LONDON, May 31, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE –
A whole host of new and emerging markets are set to drive longer term
growth in wireless connectivity technologies. Applications, including
home automation systems, sports, medical, retail, and more, are driving
the need for low power wireless technologies to enable remote devices
with minimal maintenance. Over 1.5 billion ZigBee and Bluetooth Smart
(v4.0 devices are expected to ship per annum in 2016.

«Wireless sensors are enabling a wide range of new and exciting
products,» says Peter Cooney, practice director, semiconductors. «Low
power is all important, allowing minimal maintenance and therefore low
running cost.»

ZigBee and Bluetooth v4.0 are expected to be the two major technologies
used, but continued development is needed to reduce power consumption
further, with the ultimate aim of achieving batteryless sensors where
possible. The recent release of an open standard from EnOcean will help
with the uptake of more sensors powered by energy harvesting, but what
is needed is a more widespread push from a fully open standard body,
such as the Bluetooth SIG or ZigBee Alliance.

«We expect further announcements from the Bluetooth SIG on lower power
solutions, pushing v4.0 to new power levels,» adds Cooney. «This
coincides with work being done by the ZigBee Alliance on the ZigBee
Green Power standard, a technology that has been in the pipeline since
2009.»

There will be competition amongst wireless connectivity technologies in
some emerging markets as OEMs evaluate the best solution, however in the
longer term each technology will have success based on its strengths,
e.g. Bluetooth will gain more traction in point to point applications,
while ZigBee will be more successful in networks with multiple nodes.
Further competition will come from proprietary solutions and
technologies such as EnOcean.

Smart Wire Grid may hold key to power transmission woes

Arnerich Massena-backed Smart Wire Grid has a device that could help utilities get more capacity from their power lines, solving what has been a detriment to renewable energy development.

A Bay Area company backed by a prominent Portland investor may hold the key to grid transmission issues that are throwing up roadblocks to renewable energy integration.

Smart Wire Grid Inc., backed by an Arnerich Massena-run private equity fund, is poised to start a nationwide pilot program to test its device, which attaches to power lines to improve the communication and performance of the grid.

«It goes on lines that are congested,» said Woody Gibson, chief operating officer and founder of Smart Wire Grid.

As an example of what Smart Wire devices can achieve, consider the distinctly Northwest issue of overgeneration — times when an oversupply of water causes too much hydropower to overwhelm Bonneville Power Administration’s system. This spring, for the second year in a row, the situation prompted BPA to require wind energy operators feeding into its system to suspend operations. A device like the one Smart Wire Grid is developing could address the issue from a transmission perspective by increasing the capacity on power lines.

Smart Wire Grid officials estimate that between $3 billion and $5 billion per year is lost due to grid congestion.

«What we’re trying to do is pretty important to the power industry,» Gibson said.

Employing the appropriate amount of skepticism for an early-stage investor, Tony Arnerich, CEO and chief investment officer for Arnerich Massena puts it this way: «If it works, it’s the holy grail of electrical transmission. «

Arnerich believes in the proposition enough that he’s invested $7 million dollars so far in Smart Wire Grid, with another $3 million set aside to close out the Series A round later this year, providing that the company hits a final set of milestones.

Key to hitting those milestones is the launch of a one-year pilot program to test Smart Wire devices, which work by redirecting the flow on congested wires — think of electricity like water and transmission wires like a garden hose — to redirect the power flow to other lines on a connected system. (See details about the device here. Early tests show that the devices, which contain software and transmitter to communicate with grid operators, can improve transmission system performance from using 60 percent of existing grid capacity to using 90 percent of capacity.

Smart Wire Grid technology was developed at Georgia Tech University and received a $4.4 million grant from the U.S. government’s ARPA-E program last year to work with Boeing, Carnegie Mellon University and others to develop the transmission and communication aspects of the devices.

Tennessee Valley Authority, a $11 billion government-owned utility in the Southeast, has already signed on as a test user and will participate in the pilot.

«We received a lot of utility interest,» Arnerich said.

The plan is to sign on two or three other utilities from other parts of the country to participate in the pilot. Gibson said he has had conversations with BPA about Smart Wire Grid.

The company is working with a contract manufacturer in St. Louis to develop the pilot production line and the company’s first devices. Gibson said he’s in talks with several states about where the company might eventually based its operations.

«We’re looking for the state that offers us the best deal,» he said.

In addition to its largest backer being based in Portland, Smart Wire Grid has another Oregon tie with former PacifiCorp CEO Fred Buckman sitting as chairman of its board of directors.

Gibson expressed interest in entertaining Oregon as a potential home base for Smart Wire Grid operations, but the company’s lead investor said it might be a long shot.

«I would be tickled pink if it could come here. We would love to site it here,» Arnerich said. «But we’re not a manufacturing powerhouse and this is a heavy metal manufacturing business.»

Ford Sees Green, Smart Technologies as Key to Rebuilding Michigan Economy …

DEARBORN, Mich. , May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –
Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford calls for implementation of key policy reforms to ensure Michigan’s competitiveness and spur future innovation

Bill Ford says Michigan can become the Silicon Valley of mobility, lead the generation of more high-tech jobs and help solve the challenge of urban mobility through integration of vehicle and communications technologies

Ford announces Motor City Innovation Exchange, a collaboration between Ford Motor Company, TechShop Detroit, AutoHarvest and TechTown to encourage Michigan innovators and entrepreneurs; affordable work/hacker space and support also being offered to spur job-creating businesses

At today’s Mackinac Policy Conference, Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford calls for key policy reform and the need to foster innovation as critical to ensuring Michigan’s competitiveness and creating new, high-tech jobs.

«While Michigan is the home of the auto industry, the trends affecting our industry offer a great opportunity to make it the home of a variety of other industries as well,» said Bill Ford. «We are heading in the right direction to grow Michigan by putting the right policies in place and investing in Michigan’s future. »

Ford told delegates that the trends emerging in manufacturing, green technology and mobility demonstrate a great opportunity for Michigan to create a dynamic, diverse and growing economy that affirms the state as a global innovation center.

Manufacturing strengthFord discussed the need to not only diversify Michigan’s economy but also build on its manufacturing history.

«No other sector of the economy creates as many spinoff jobs as the auto sector. For each job created in autos, nine more jobs are created to support it,» said Ford. «In the past two years, half of the new jobs that have been created here were manufacturing-related. »

Continuing to lead the green transformationFord also highlighted the benefits Michigan has realized by being at the center of exciting developments in green technology, including electric vehicles and battery innovation.

«At Ford, we have invested nearly a billion dollars to build electric vehicles and the battery packs that power them right here in Michigan,» said Ford.

«We want this technology to become a core competency for us in the 21st century. And we are building the expertise to do that right here in our home state.»

Addressing urban mobilityWhile great strides have been made with green technology, Ford also discussed the pressures of a growing global population and the new challenge of global gridlock – the potential that the world will face a never-ending traffic jam that wastes time, energy and resources.

Ford outlined the company’s vision to address this global challenge in the company’s Blueprint for Mobility, announced earlier this year.

He also described urban mobility as the greatest opportunity for Michigan. Ford believes that tackling this challenge will pave a future for Michigan akin to the birth of a new Silicon Valley.

«To address this issue, we will once again need new technologies, as well as new ways of looking at the world,» explained Ford. «We will need to view the automobile as one element of a transportation ecosystem.»

Integrating the automobile with this new transportation ecosystem will require an incredible variety of high-tech and policy jobs, which should be based in Michigan, he said.

«This technology is in varying stages of development and deployment, but it promises to radically transform the experience of driving,» said Ford. «As it develops, I believe Michigan must become the Silicon Valley of the mobility revolution.»

Making Michigan competitive Ford also outlined key public policy areas that will help improve Michigan’s competitiveness and ensure that the state realizes the full benefit of the impending mobility revolution. He called on policymakers to ensure policy was not holding back innovation and prosperity in Michigan. Ford argued for an updating of the state tax system by eliminating personal property taxes as well as investment in updating the electric grid.

He noted that there are encouraging signs of progress being made, citing a study released last fall by the TechAmerica Foundation that indicated Michigan added more high-tech jobs than any other state between 2009 and 2010.

«We can keep this momentum going if we are frank about the areas in which we can improve and we build upon our advantages,» Ford added.

Ford also noted that Michigan needs a world-class infrastructure and that its location on the U.S./Canada border provides Michigan with a unique advantage. He affirmed his support for the construction of a new crossing to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, ensuring the timely flow of goods to support Michigan businesses.

Ford support for innovationFord Motor Company also introduced a number of ways in which it is helping to encourage innovation in Michigan, including two new initiatives the company is announcing today.

These include the Motor City Innovation Exchange, a collaboration between Ford, TechShop Detroit, Wayne State University’s TechTown and AutoHarvest to help entrepreneurs commercialize their creations. The program provides a showroom for innovators to show off their creations to peers and potential customers.

Ford Land also announced the Jump Start Program, which offers startup suites, including space located near TechShop, to provide flexible, discounted work space and support for TechShop members who are ready to grow their businesses.

«All of these efforts are to encourage innovation, not just in our company, but throughout our state,» said Ford. «New ideas are a priceless resource, and the ultimate driver of economic growth. »

Smart Grid Renewables Integration

NEW YORK, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Smart Grid Renewables Integration

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0871180/Smart-Grid-Renewables-Integration. html#utm_source=prnewswireutm_medium=prutm_campaign=Solar_Photovoltaic

Transmission Upgrades, Energy Storage, Demand Response, Virtual Power Plants, and Microgrids as Enablers of Renewable Energy on the Grid

Smart grid technologies are often portrayed as being vital to the efforts to increase renewable energy production, yet this aspect of the smart grid is the least developed. Massive amounts of new transmission lines will be necessary to access the best large-scale wind and solar resources, however the biggest buzz is about smart grid technologies at the distribution level. While smart meter installations and distribution automation projects are being deployed at scale in many countries around the world, a much broader set of smart grid technology tools will be required for the successful integration of renewable energy at both the utility scale and on a distributed basis. These tools include static VAR compensators and synchrophasors within the transmission grid; advanced energy storage at the transmission, distribution, and residential levels; dynamic pricing demand response; virtual power plants; microgrids; and smart wind and solar technologies.

Except for a limited number of geographies, the hype surrounding the smart grid’s vaunted ability to aggregate and optimize renewables is largely relegated to PowerPoint presentations, pilot programs, and long range planning. The success record of smart grid renewables integration is a mixed bag, with European countries boldly plowing forward, while many U.S. utilities exhibit what has been described by a former California state regulator as «electrotrophobia» – the fear of change linked to greater reliance upon intermittent renewable energy resources. Pike Research anticipates that this situation will change over the next several years, creating a significant expansion of the market opportunity for smart grid technologies that enable the integration of renewables.

This Pike Research report examines current thinking and practices with regard to a series of smart grid technologies, policies, and applications designed to help integrate large penetration levels of renewable energy into power systems around the world. The study provides market capacity and revenue forecasts for the following technologies: static VAR compensators; synchrophasors; transmission, distribution and residential advanced energy storage systems; demand response; virtual power plants and microgrids. Key industry players are profiled, including SWOT analysis of their market positions, and regional market forecasts for each key segment extend through 2018.

Key Questions Addressed:

-Which technologies qualify as smart grid solutions to renewables integration?

-Why is HVDC transmission crucial to meeting renewables targets, but is not really part of the smart grid?

-What kinds of advanced energy storage work best at the transmission, distribution, and residential points of power grid service?

-Who are the key companies betting on this smart grid opportunity, and who are some emerging players that are still under the radar?

-What role will micro-inverters, synchrophasors, and demand response all play in helping variable renewables mesh with deregulated power markets?

-Have there been any major breakthroughs in the accuracy of wind and solar forecasts?

Who needs this report?

-Smart grid technology companies

-Microgrid and virtual power plant developers

-Wind and solar equipment manufacturers and component suppliers

Ford Sees Green, Smart Technologies as Key to Rebuilding Michigan Economy, Making it the Silicon Valley of Mobility

DEARBORN, Mich. , May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford calls for implementation of key policy reforms to ensure Michigan’s competitiveness and spur future innovation
Bill Ford says Michigan can become the Silicon Valley of mobility, lead the generation of more high-tech jobs and help solve the challenge of urban mobility through integration of vehicle and communications technologies
Ford announces Motor City Innovation Exchange, a collaboration between Ford Motor Company, TechShop Detroit, AutoHarvest and TechTown to encourage Michigan innovators and entrepreneurs; affordable work/hacker space and support also being offered to spur job-creating businesses

Ford discussed the need to not only diversify Michigan’s economy but also build on its manufacturing history.

Ford also highlighted the benefits Michigan has realized by being at the center of exciting developments in green technology, including electric vehicles and battery innovation.

«At Ford, we have invested nearly a billion dollars to build electric vehicles and the battery packs that power them right here in Michigan,» said Ford.

«We want this technology to become a core competency for us in the 21st century. And we are building the expertise to do that right here in our home state.»

While great strides have been made with green technology, Ford also discussed the pressures of a growing global population and the new challenge of global gridlock – the potential that the world will face a never-ending traffic jam that wastes time, energy and resources.

Ford outlined the company’s vision to address this global challenge in the company’s Blueprint for Mobility, announced earlier this year.

He also described urban mobility as the greatest opportunity for Michigan. Ford believes that tackling this challenge will pave a future for Michigan akin to the birth of a new Silicon Valley.

Integrating the automobile with this new transportation ecosystem will require an incredible variety of high-tech and policy jobs, which should be based in Michigan, he said.

S Immo: Net income for Q1 up again

The results for the first quarter of 2012 for stock exchange listed S Immo AG continue last year's successful performance. "A few weeks ago we published annual results with the highest recorded EBITDA in the Group's history. In 2012 we shall be concentrating on further stabilising our revenues at their present high levels. We have closed the first quarter with success, and have even increased the consolidated net income for the period by 18.2%," comments Ernst Vejdovszky, member of S Immo's
Management Board.

Although the real estate assets were reduced by 3. 9% compared to the year before following the sale of several properties at a profit, rental income for the first quarter of 2012 was down only very slightly by 0.6% to € 30.1m (Q1 2011: € 30.3m . Gross profit from hotel operations was € 0.7m for the first quarter of 2012 (Q1 2011: € 1.2m. Last year there was a positive special effect that has to be taken into account: Hungary's EUpresidency in the first half of 2011. The expense of property operations was reduced from € 16.9m in the first quarter of 2011 to € 16.3m in the first quarter of this year. The gross profit came to € 26.7m (Q1 2011: € 27.7m.

In the first quarter of 2012 S Immo took advantage of the continuing strong demand for properties and sold five residential properties in Berlin, an office building in Munich and a residential building in Vienna at above their estimated values. The proceeds of property disposals amounted to € 39.5m (Q1 2011: € 4.3m, and the gains on property disposals according to IFRS came to € 0.7m (Q1 2011: € 0.6m. Compared to the estimated values as at 30 September 2011, gains on property disposals amounted to € 4.2m. S Immo's administrative costs in the first quarter were once again reduced, down to € 3. 7m (Q1 2011: € 4.3m. EBITDA decreased by a minimal 1.8% to € 23.6m (Q1 2011: € 24.1m.

Gains from property valuations in the first quarter of 2012 came to € 3.9m (Q1 2011: € 5.0m and were entirely attributable to the German portfolio. Overall, compared with the first quarter of 2011, EBIT fell 5.6% from € 26.6m to € 25.1m. Financing costs for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to € 16.3m (Q1 2011: € 17.6m, including a non-cash foreign exchange loss of € 2.6m. The Group's consolidated net income for the quarter came out at € 6.4m (Q1 2011: € 5.4m. This was a respectable increase of 18. 2% compared with the same period last year.

CS Euroreal Opens for Redemptions After SEB Immo Liquidation

CS Euroreal, Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN's
frozen German property fund, said it will accept orders from
investors to withdraw their money, two days after a similar move
led rival SEB ImmoInvest (SEBIMMO to declare its liquidation.

The 6 billion-euro ($7.8 billion fund will take requests
from today until the close of business on May 21, parent company
Credit Suisse Asset Management Immobilien KAG said in a
statement to investors. The Frankfurt-based fund has about 1.5
billion euros, or about 25 percent of its assets, in cash
available to fulfill requests.

SEB Asset Management AG announced the liquidation of SEB
ImmoInvest on May 7 after failing to meet all redemption
requests during a one-day reopening. Like that fund, CS Euroreal
will be liquidated if it's unable to fulfill all the requests,
the company said.

"Surveys by our distribution partners show that most
investors want to stay in the fund," Karl Heinz Heuss, manager
of Credit Suisse Asset Management Immobilien KAG, said in the
statement. "However, due to uncertainty in the wake of the most
recent property fund liquidations, it is no longer possible to
precisely predict redemption requests. "

Since the global recession that ended in 2009, German real-
state mutual funds have struggled to meet redemption requests,
causing six funds to be dissolved. Several more, including a
fund owned by UBS AG (UBSN, face deadlines this year to reopen or
liquidate, according to Germany's financial trade group,
Bundesverband Investment und Asset Management.

CS Euroreal owns La Befane shopping center in Rimini,
Italy, and the Europa Galerie mall in Saarbruecken, Germany.

SEB ImmoInvest is also based in Frankfurt and has assets of
about 6 billion euros. KanAm Grund KAG, another asset manager
based in the city, in February announced a plan to liquidate its
3.9 billion-euro Grundinvest mutual property fund.
