ESCO Technologies Inc.

ESCO ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF HEXAGRAM, INC.
St. Louis, MO, February 2, 2006 - ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) today
announced the acquisition of Hexagram, Inc. (Hexagram). The capital stock of
Hexagram was acquired for cash consideration of $67.5 million and a potential
working capital adjustment. The acquisition agreement also provides for
contingent consideration of up to $6.3 million during the five year period
following the acquisition if Hexagram exceeds certain sales targets.
Hexagram is a well established RF fixed network Automatic Meter Reading
(AMR) company headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. Hexagram's fixed network
technology was first deployed in 1996, and currently provides AMR data from over
one million endpoints. Hexagram's system is in service at over seventy-five
utilities including installations at the water utility in the District of
Columbia and at Wisconsin Public Service where it provides gas reads and
operates alongside ESCO's Distribution Control Systems, Inc. (DCSI) electric AMR
system. In addition, Hexagram has a contract with Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) covering 4.1 million gas meters with total anticipated revenues
over the five year full deployment period of approximately $225 million.
Hexagram's contract with PG&E, like DCSI's, is subject to a successful
demonstration phase, Public Utility Commission approval and PG&E's full-scale
deployment decision. Annual purchase order releases are anticipated on the PG&E
program.
Over the past three years Hexagram's annual revenue has been in the range
of $20 to $35 million. Excluding amortization of identifiable intangible assets,
the acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on earnings in fiscal
2006. Including amortization, the acquisition may be modestly dilutive to 2006
earnings.
Hexagram will continue to be led by the existing management team, and
Hexagram's founder, Larry Sears, will remain as a consultant to the company
focused on helping Hexagram and ESCO shape their long-
- more -

term AMR technology roadmaps. Hexagram will operate as a stand-alone subsidiary
of ESCO and will collaborate with DCSI and Nexus Energy Software, Inc., ESCO's
other utility communications businesses, where there are opportunities to better
support its customers by working together.
In making the announcement, Vic Richey, Chairman and CEO, commented: "The
addition of Hexagram not only more than doubles our served market in AMR but
also allows us to offer a broader portfolio of products and technologies to
satisfy the AMR needs of any utility. I have great confidence in the team at
Hexagram and I am extremely excited about the opportunities created by this
combination".
Larry Sears, Hexagram's founder, stated: "By joining ESCO, Hexagram will
gain valuable additional resources. These will allow us to expand our marketing,
customer support, and product development activities, as well as maintain a
creative and innovative environment for our employees".
Statements in this press release regarding the Hexagram acquisition's
impact on fiscal 2006 earnings, the impact of the acquisition on the Company's
success in the AMR market, the total anticipated value and scope of the PG&E
contract and any other statements which are not strictly historical are
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of
the Federal Securities Laws. Investors are cautioned that such statements are
only predictions, speak only as of the date of this release and the Company
undertakes no duty to update. The Company's actual results in the future may
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to
risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company's operations and business
environment, including but not limited to: actions by the California Public
Utility Commission, PG&E's Board of Directors or PG&E's management impacting
PG&E's AMI projects, the content of purchase order releases by PG&E, Hexagram's
successful performance under the PG&E contract, technical difficulties,
competition, changes in customers demands, intellectual property rights,
termination for convenience of the PG&E contract, and the Company's successful
execution of internal operating plans.

filtration products to the process, health care and transportation markets

communications systems and is the industry leader in RF shielding and EMC test

AmREIT, 713.850.1400
AmREIT EXPANDS ITS PORTFOLIO OF IRREPLACEABLE
CORNERS IN DALLAS
HOUSTON, December 17, 2012
- AmREIT,
Inc., announced today that it has completed the acquisition of the Preston Royal Village Shopping Center, located at the northeast
and northwest corners of Preston and Royal in the highly affluent Preston Hollow submarket of Dallas, Texas.
H. Kerr Taylor, AmREIT's CEO, commented: "With
average household incomes over $264,000 within a one-mile radius, this retail center has been on our target list for many years.
We are delighted to have been able to execute this transaction "off-market" directly with Preston Royal Realty Company,
a Texas joint venture, for the acquisition of the Preston Royal Village Shopping Center. The northwest corner of Preston Royal
Village was developed in 1958 by a partnership that included Henry S. Miller, Trammell Crow and Bob Cullum, one of the founders
of Tom Thumb supermarket chain. The partnership acquired the northeast corner in 1965, and the same group continued to operate
the center until the sale to AmREIT. We believe this is an excellent Irreplaceable Corner
TM
to add to our portfolio,
and we look forward to continuing to improve the property to solidify its position as the preeminent shopping center in the market".
Preston Royal Village is a 229,920 square foot grocery-anchored
shopping center that is 97% leased and occupied. The northwest corner of Preston and Royal is anchored by Tom Thumb (Safeway) and
includes tenants such as Chico's, Barnes & Noble, Pinkberry and Dougherty's Pharmacy (an original tenant of the shopping center).
The northeast corner of Preston and Royal is unanchored and includes tenants such as Bank of America, Starbucks, Omaha Steaks,
Einstein Bagels, and Fed-Ex/Kinko's. Preston Royal Village is located at a signalized intersection in an infill location with high
barriers to entry and a dense daytime and nighttime population, which produces traffic counts of over 68,000 cars per day. The
shopping center benefits from over 97,000 people living within a three-mile radius of the property, daytime employment within the
same radius of over 131,000 and average household income of over $264,000 within a one-mile radius, according to Sites U.S.A..
The northwest corner was purchased in fee simple while the northeast corner was
purchased as a leasehold estate subject to an underlying ground lease. The ground lease has 27 years remaining in its term. The
northwest corner was financed with a $23.4 million mortgage at an interest rate of 3.21%.

convert them into paying subscribers. We believe Moviefone will also allow us to provide relevant and appealing content to moviegoers
while simultaneously increasing the value of the Moviefone brand".
"HMNY's vision
is to have MoviePass support the entire movie theater industry ecosystem-- from distribution to exhibition and now, content,"
said HMNY's Chairman and CEO, Ted Farnsworth.
"Above all, we believe the Moviefone acquisition will serve as
another valuable source of revenue for HMNY and MoviePass", concluded Mr. Farnsworth.

Nile
Therapeutics, Inc. Completes $20 Million Financing and Reverse Merger with
SMI
Products, Inc.
Private
offering provides new funding as Nile Therapeutics, Inc. becomes a publicly
reporting company.
BERKELEY,
Calif., Sept. 18 -- Nile Therapeutics, Inc. ("Nile"), a biopharmaceutical
company focused on developing therapies for cardiovascular disease, announced
the successful completion of its merger with SMI Products, Inc. ("SMI") and
its
transition to a publicly reporting company. Until Nile receives its new ticker
symbol, shares of its common stock will continue to trade under the ticker
symbol "SPDU.OB".
As
previously announced, on August 15, 2007, Nile, Nile Merger Sub, Inc. and SMI
entered into a merger agreement that called for Nile to acquire Nile Merger
Sub,
Inc. in a statutory merger, with Nile becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary
of
SMI. This merger was completed on September 17, 2007. Immediately thereafter,
Nile merged with and into SMI, and SMI changed its name to Nile Therapeutics,
Inc.
Prior
to
the completion of the merger, Nile raised approximately $20 million through
the
private sale of approximately 7 million shares of common stock to new and
existing investors. The financing syndicate, which was led by Wexford Capital
LLC, also included RIT Capital Partners, plc, Life Science Capital Master Fund,
and other select institutional and qualified investors. Following the closing
of
the financing Nile appointed Dr. Paul A. Mieyal of Wexford Capital, to serve
as
a member of Nile's Board of Directors. Riverbank Capital Securities, Inc.,
an
NASD member broker dealer, acted as placement agent in connection with the
financing.
The
proceeds from the financing will be used to fund further development of Nile's
pipeline, which includes its lead compound, CD-NP, a natriuretic peptide being
developed to treat heart failure, and 2NTX-99, a pre-clinical small molecule
with nitric oxide (NO) donating properties.
CD-NP,
a
novel chimeric natriuretic peptide in Phase I clinical studies for the treatment
of heart failure, is a selective NPRB agonist which, in vivo, has been shown
to
have potent renal enhancement and cardiac unloading properties but with minimal
hypotensive effects compared with competitive products. CD-NP is a
rationally-designed synthetic peptide designed to incorporate favorable
properties of naturally occurring natriuretic peptides. Data from Nile's
recently completed Phase Ia study in healthy volunteers confirmed several
pre-clinical findings, including that CD-NP activated its target receptor in
humans, preserved renal function and caused increases in natriuresis and
diuresis at doses associated with a minimal effect on mean arterial pressure.
Nile believes that CD-NP could provide a valuable new treatment option for
heart
failure patients.
2NTX-99
is a novel small molecule that has been shown in vivo and in vitro to inhibit
the synthesis and action of thromboxane (TXA2), enhance the production of
prostacyclin (PGI2) and supply a pharmacological amount of nitric oxide (NO)
to
the vasculature. Nile believes that the unique activity profile of 2NTX-99
has
potential utility in a range of atherosclerotic, thrombotic and microvascular
diseases.
"The
successful financing and merger leaves Nile with a strong balance sheet and
corporate structure." said Peter Strumph, CEO of Nile Therapeutics, Inc. "This
infusion of capital is a validation of our management team, our focused clinical
development strategy, our pipeline, and the unmet need which exists for the
treatment of patients with heart failure. Nile's lead compound CD-NP has
recently completed its first clinical study in healthy volunteers and will
soon
be tested in heart failure patients in several clinical studies planned to
begin
before the end of the year".
The
securities sold in the recent private offering have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold absent registration under
or
exemption from such Act. Nile has agreed to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement for the resale of the securities
held by the investors in the offering by November 10, 2007. This press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
nor
shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
About
Nile Therapeutics.
Nile
Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops
innovative products for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and other areas
of unmet medical need. Nile is initially focusing its efforts on developing
its
lead compound, CD-NP, a novel chimeric peptide in Phase I studies for the
treatment of heart failure and 2NTX-99, a small molecule, pre- clinical,
anti-atherothrombotic agent with nitric oxide donating properties. A key
component of the Company's strategy is to acquire the global rights to
additional compounds to expand its portfolio. More information on Nile can

the
extent that statements in this press release are not strictly historical,
including statements as to business strategy, outlook, objectives, future
milestones, plans, intentions, goals, future financial conditions, future
collaboration agreements, the success of Nile's product development, events
conditioned on stockholder or other approval, or otherwise as to future events,
all such statements are forward-looking, and are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made.
Examples of the risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the
risk that we may not successfully develop and market our products, and even
if
we do, we may not become profitable; risks relating to the progress of our
research and development; risks relating to the rigorous regulatory approval
process required for any products that we may develop independently, with our
development partners or in connection with our collaboration arrangements;
the
risk that changes in the national or international political and regulatory
environment may make it more difficult to gain U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA or other regulatory approval of our drug product
candidates; risks that the FDA or other regulatory authorities may not accept
any applications we file; risks that the FDA or other regulatory authorities
may
withhold or delay consideration of any applications that we file or limit such
applications to particular indications or apply other label limitations; risks
that, after acceptance and review of applications that we file, the FDA or
other
regulatory authorities will not approve the marketing and sale of our drug
product candidates; risks relating to our own drug manufacturing operations
and
the drug manufacturing operations of our third-party suppliers and contract
manufacturers; risks relating to the ability of our development partners and
third-party suppliers of materials, drug substance and related components to
provide us with adequate supplies and expertise to support manufacture of drug
product for initiation and completion of our clinical studies; risks relating
to
the transfer of our manufacturing technology to third-party contract
manufacturers, and the risk that recurring losses, negative cash flows and
the
inability to raise additional capital could threaten our ability to continue
as
a going concern.
Pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies have suffered significant setbacks in advanced
clinical trials, even after obtaining promising earlier trial results. Data
obtained from such clinical trials are susceptible to varying interpretations,
which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Except to the extent
required by applicable laws or rules, we do not undertake to update any
forward-looking statements or to publicly announce revisions to any of our
forward-looking statements, whether resulting from new information, future
events or otherwise.
