PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zounds Hearing, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and retailer of high performing hearing aids, has recently launched its next-generation hearing aids on the Crystal ClarityTM sound architecture platform. In addition to the Riazo and Potenz product families, the Clareza hearing aid is proving to be Zounds Hearing's flagship product after only several weeks on the market.
"It's really a perfect hearing aid," said Sam Thomasson, Zounds Hearing founder and CEO. "Among the host of amazing features, it's the overall clarity that the Clareza can provide that has our customers so excited."
The Clareza product family is available in two models, the "Clareza 8" and the "Clareza 16." Both models offer similar feature sets, with the primary difference being the total number of channels that are programmed based on an individual's need.
The Clareza, like its sister products, offers Intuitive Noise CancellationTM, which eliminates unwanted background noise, Dynamic Feedback CancellationTM, which eliminates the annoying squealing, Shock Sound SuppressionTM, which reduces loud, painful sounds before the user can register them, and EnviroSenzeTM, an exclusive technology which tells the hearing aid to constantly scan the user's environment and adjusts itself for optimal performance. Combined with dual microphones, the result is amazing clarity for the Zounds Hearing customer.
While both offering a full hearing system with a Global EnergyTM Charging Station and Empower Remote Control, the primary difference between the Clareza and the Potenz is volume output. The Potenz is engineered for those suffering from a profound hearing loss who need the most amplification possible.
The Riazo product family offers a high performing hearing aid with many of the features available in the Clareza and is not offered in a hearing system, making it a great entry-level hearing aid.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE: TCO) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year periods ended December 31, 2009.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080428/CLM116LOGO )
Net income allocable to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $0.07 per diluted common share (EPS), versus a loss of $1.90 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2008. EPS for the year ended December 31, 2009 was a $1.31 loss versus a $1.64 loss for the year ended December 2008. Results for the fourth quarter of 2009 included $38.5 million of litigation charges related to Westfarms (West Hartford, Conn.), of which the company's share was $30.4 million. In addition, the 2009 annual results were impacted by the previously announced $2.5 million restructuring charges and $166.7 million impairment charges (or $160.8 million at the company's share) relating to The Pier Shops at Caesars (Atlantic City, N.J.) and Regency Square (Richmond, Va.). The 2008 amounts were impacted by impairment charges totaling $126.3 million for development projects in Sarasota, Fla. and Oyster Bay, N.Y.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009 Funds from Operations (FFO) per diluted share was $0.56, compared to a loss of $0.57 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, FFO per diluted share was $0.68 compared to $1.51 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009 Adjusted FFO per diluted share (which excludes litigation, restructuring and impairment charges) was $0.93 versus $1.00 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Adjusted FFO per diluted share was $3.06, down 0.6 percent from $3.08 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2008.
"We are delighted to see a positive 3.8 percent tenant sales gain in the fourth quarter even against an easy comparison from the prior year," said Robert S. Taubman, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Taubman Centers. "This is the first positive tenant sales performance since the third quarter of 2008. While rents across the portfolio are modestly down, we benefited from the collection of Macao Studio City development fees, improvements in tenant recoveries and operational cost savings."
Sales Increase in Quarter; Occupancy and Rents as Expected
With the positive fourth quarter sales gain, the company ended the year down 6.7 percent to average $498 per square foot in 2009. "As we've said many times, tenant sales are the most important driver of our business," said Mr. Taubman. "This result is in line with our sales guidance from the beginning of the year."
Ending occupancy for the portfolio was 89.6 percent on December 31, 2009 versus 90.5 percent on December 31, 2008.
Rents per square foot in Taubman's consolidated portfolio averaged $42.56 for the quarter versus $43.96 for the fourth quarter of 2008. Rents per square foot in Taubman's consolidated portfolio averaged $43.31 for full year 2009 versus $43.95 for 2008.
Balance Sheet Strength
"The company continues to benefit from a strong balance sheet, with modest debt maturities in 2010," said Lisa A. Payne, vice chairman and chief financial officer of Taubman Centers. "We are pleased to have come through 2009 as one of the few REITs that maintained its cash dividend and did not raise any common equity." Taubman Centers finished the ten year period ending December 31, 2009 among the top ten total shareholder returns of all REITs.
2010 Guidance
The company is introducing guidance for 2010. For the full year 2010, the company expects FFO per diluted share excluding The Pier Shops to be in the range of $2.55 to $2.75. Net income allocable to common shareholders excluding The Pier Shops for the year is expected to be in the range of $0.64 to $0.89 per share.
The holding period of The Pier Shops remains uncertain and the noncash impact of owning The Pier Shops (including default interest) results in an incremental FFO charge of approximately a penny per share per month. Including the impact of depreciation and amortization, the impact on EPS is expected to be a negative penny and a half per share per month. A noncash accounting gain is expected to be recognized when the loan obligation is extinguished upon transfer of title of The Pier Shops. This gain has also been excluded from EPS and FFO per share estimates.
Supplemental Investor Information Available
The company provides supplemental investor information along with its earnings announcements, available online at www.taubman.com under "Investor Relations." This includes the following:

(1) FFO for the three month period and the year ended December 31, 2009
includes, and Adjusted FFO excludes, litigation charges related to
Westfarms. Also, FFO for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes,
and Adjusted FFO excludes, a restructuring charge, which primarily
represents the costs of termination of personnel, and impairment
charges related to the write down of The Pier Shops and Regency
Square to their fair values. FFO for the three month period and year
ended December 31, 2008 includes, and Adjusted FFO excludes,
impairment charges on its 100% owned Oyster Bay project and Sarasota
project, which is accounted for under the equity method. The Company
discloses this Adjusted FFO due to the significance of these charges.
Given their significance, the Company believes it is essential to a
reader's understanding of the Company's results of operations to
emphasize the impact on the Company's earnings measures. The adjusted
measures are not and should not be considered alternatives to net
income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing
activities as defined by GAAP.
(2) Prior to adoption of the new requirements for noncontrolling
interests on January 1, 2009, the net equity of the Operating
Partnership noncontrolling unitholders was less than zero. The net
equity balances of the noncontrolling partners in certain of the
consolidated joint ventures were also less than zero. Therefore,
under previous accounting standards for noncontrolling interests, the
interests of the noncontrolling unitholders of the Operating
Partnership and outside partners with net equity balances in the
consolidated joint ventures of less than zero were recognized as zero
balances within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result
of the need to present these noncontrolling interests as zero
balances, it was previously required that income be allocated to
these interests equal, at a minimum, to their share of distributions.
The net equity balances of the Operating Partnership and certain of
the consolidated joint ventures were less than zero because of
accumulated operating distributions in excess of net income and not
as a result of operating losses. Operating distributions to partners
are usually greater than net income because net income includes
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.
Upon adoption of the new requirements for noncontrolling interests,
the interests of the noncontrolling unitholders of the Operating
Partnership and the outside partners with net equity balances in the
consolidated joint ventures of less than zero generally no longer
need to be carried at zero balances in the Company’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet and this previous income allocation methodology
described above is generally no longer applicable. However, as the
new measurement provisions are applicable beginning with the January
1, 2009 adoption date, the interests of these noncontrolling
interests for prior periods have not been remeasured. Net loss
attributable to Taubman Centers, Inc. common shareowners for the
three month period and year ended December 31, 2009 would have been
$(6.6) million and $(153.5) million, respectively or $(0.12) and
$(2.88) per common share, respectively if accounted for under the
previous method of accounting for noncontrolling interests prior to
the new accounting requirements. Certain 2008 amounts have been
reclassified to conform with 2009 classifications.
(3) Beneficial Interest in EBITDA represents the Operating Partnership’s
share of the earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation
and amortization of its consolidated and unconsolidated businesses.
The Company believes Beneficial Interest in EBITDA provides a useful
indicator of operating performance, as it is customary in the real
estate and shopping center business to evaluate the performance of
properties on a basis unaffected by capital structure.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
defines Funds from Operations (FFO) as net income (computed in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)),
excluding gains from extraordinary items and sales of properties,
plus real estate related depreciation and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes
that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance
for REITs. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company and
most industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of
operating results that exclude historical cost depreciation to be
useful in evaluating the operating performance of REITs. FFO is
primarily used by the Company in measuring performance and in
formulating corporate goals and compensation.
These non-GAAP measures as presented by the Company are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use common definitions. None
of these non-GAAP measures should be considered alternatives to net
income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and
they do not represent cash flows from operating, investing, or
financing activities as defined by GAAP.
(4) Statistics exclude The Pier Shops.

(1) Guidance on Funds from Operations and EPS excludes The Pier Shops'
operations due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of transfer of
title. The loan on the center is in default and accrues interest at
10.01%. The Company expects a non-cash incremental impact on FFO per
share of ($0.010) for each month the Company continues to own the
center. Including the impact of depreciation and amortization, the
impact on EPS is expected to be ($0.015) per month. A non-cash
accounting gain is expected to be recognized when the loan obligation
is extinguished upon transfer of title of The Pier Shops. This gain
has also been excluded from EPS and FFO per share estimates.
