&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bologna, 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; November 2008 - The Board of Directors of Datalogic S.p.A. - a company listed in the Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange and a leader in the market for barcode readers, data collection mobile computers and RFID (radio frequency identification) systems - today approved the quarterly interim report as of 30 September 2008.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consolidated sales revenues of &amp;euro; 284.3 million (mn), down by 4.4% vs. &amp;euro; 297.5 mn in the same period in the previous year. &lt;strong&gt;With constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, compared to 2007, the growth would have been approx. 1%&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EBITDA of &amp;euro; 37.4 mn (+1.4% vs &amp;euro; 36.9 mn at 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2007) and EBITANR of &amp;euro; 28.8 mn (+3.5% vs. &amp;euro; 27.9 mn for the same period in the previous year).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consolidated net profit of &amp;euro; 16.6 mn improved considerably in the first nine months of the year (+44% vs &amp;euro; 11.5 mn at 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2007).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the third quarter of the year, consolidated revenues amounted to &amp;euro; 90.8 mn (down by 8% in comparison to &amp;euro; 98.6 mn in 3Q07); with constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, the reduction would have been equal to approx. 4%. EBITDA of &amp;euro; 12.1 mn (+9% vs &amp;euro; 11.1 mn in 3Q07) and EBITANR* of &amp;euro; 9.2 mn (+13% vs. &amp;euro; 8.1 mn in 3Q07).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The separate business Division sales (including intersegment sales) and segment results (before non-recurring costs/revenues and depreciation and amortization due to acquisitions) at 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2008, are listed below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, reliable reclassification of 3Q07, on the basis of the new Divisions of the Group, was not possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2008, the net financial position of Datalogic was negative by &amp;euro; 73.9 mn, an increase both in comparison to its position at 31&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; December 2007 (negative by &amp;euro; 62.5 mn) and at 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2007 (negative by &amp;euro; 67 million).&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would however point out that, in the first nine months of the year, treasury shares were bought for approximately &amp;euro; 19 mn. If treasury shares were included (also counting n. 5,409,981 treasury shares cancelled in May 2008), the net financial position at 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September 2008 would be negative by &amp;euro; 26.7 mn. In addition dividends were paid for &amp;euro; 4 mn.&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, please note that the Quarterly Report at 30 September 2008 is unaudited.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;********&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, the Company informs that today the acquisition by Datalogic Automation S.r.l. of &lt;strong&gt;Datasensor S.p.A.&lt;/strong&gt;, Italian company leader in the design, production and marketing of photoelectric sensors and devices for the industrial automation sector, has been completed and payment of the second instalment and balance, for &amp;euro; 13.7 mn, has been made.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The payment of the first instalment, for &amp;euro; 31.3 mn, was made on 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; October upon signature of the contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this regard, we would like to recall that the deal is worth a total amount of &amp;euro; 45 million (Equity Value), appropriate price determined with the corroboration of an independent expert appraisal - KPMG Advisory S.p.A (required as the deal is between related parties).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As regards the valuation of the acquisition price, we would like to point out that the Datalogic S.p.A. Board of Directors unanimously approved said price, with the abstention of the Directors that have interests in potential conflict with those of the Company.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The acquisition will be mainly financed via use of bank borrowing (up to a maximum of &amp;euro; 40 million) and available financial resources.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The principal consolidated financial results for 2007 are reported below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td class="testo"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bologna,&amp;nbsp;October 3, 2008 - Datalogic SpA - a company listed in the Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange and a leader in the market for barcode readers, data collection mobile computers and RFID (radio frequency identification) systems - approved today the acquisition of &lt;strong&gt;DATASENSOR SpA&lt;/strong&gt; (a company 100% owned by Hydra SpA, controlling shareholder of Datalogic SpA).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The deal is of great industrial value as it will allow both the Datalogic Group and Datasensor to consolidate their respective market positions in the &lt;em&gt;industrial automation&lt;/em&gt; sector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the deal is between related parties, this press release has been prepared also in compliance with Article 71- &lt;em&gt;bis &lt;/em&gt;of the Regulation implementing Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance) which governs issuers, approved by the CONSOB (Italian securities &amp;amp; exchange commission) with its resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as subsequently amended and integrated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;CHARACTERISTICS, APPROACH, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEAL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The object of the deal is the transfer of shares representing 100% of the share capital of Datasensor SpA from Hydra SpA to Datalogic Automation Srl, a company directly and wholly owned by the Issuer. In this regard please note that the investment contract was signed today and, at the same time, were transferred 100% of shares of Datasensor SpA to Datalogic Group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Datalogic Automation Srl (hereinafter also the "&lt;strong&gt;Purchaser&lt;/strong&gt;"), 100% controlled by Datalogic SpA, is the second leading European manufacturer of industrial fixed-position scanning systems and one of the world's leading producers of automatic identification systems for the industrial market&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Datasensor SpA (hereinafter also the "&lt;strong&gt;Target Company&lt;/strong&gt;") is an Italian company present in the international market for over 30 years and a leader in the design, production and marketing of photoelectric sensors and devices for detection, safety, measurement, and inspection in industrial automation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2007, Datasensor Group achieved sales revenues of &amp;euro; 31.7 million and EBITDA (restated) of &amp;euro; 5.6 million (17.6% on revenues); at 31 December 2007, the net financial position was positve by &amp;euro; 3.5 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The deal is worth a total amount of &amp;euro; 45 million (Equity Value). The acquisition was realized using a multiple equal to approximately 7.5 FY 2007 EBIDTA (restated).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The price, determined with the corroboration of an independent expert appraisal (KPMG Advisory SpA), will be paid in two instalments: the first, for a total amount of &amp;euro; 31.3 mn immediately and the second, for &amp;euro; 13.7 mn, by the middle of November.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The price will be paid via use of available financial resources and bank borrowing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;DEGREE OF RELATIONSHIP; NATURE AND EXTENT OF RELATED PARTIES' INTEREST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the definition of "Related parties" as indicated in the international accounting standard IAS 24, approved by EC Regulation no. 1725/2003 and subsequently amended by EC Regulation no. 2238/2004, as well as the definition of "Control" as indicated in Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, the deal in question is a related-party transaction since it involves:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Datalogic Automation Srl&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;a company 100% controlled by &lt;strong&gt;Datalogic SpA &lt;/strong&gt;(hereinafter "Issuer").&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Datasensor SpA&lt;/strong&gt;, a company 100% controlled by &lt;strong&gt;Hydra SpA&lt;/strong&gt;, which in turn is the controlling shareholder of Datalogic SpA, with a percentage interest of approximately 65%.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hydra SpA,&lt;/strong&gt; a company whose share capital is owned by Mr. R. Volta and Ms. L. Fantini, each with a 50% interest.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUSINESS RATIONALE OF ACQUISITION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This acquisition is part of the Datalogic Group's growth strategy in the industrial automation segment which is headed by the Automation Division. Photoelectric sensors and devices - which form the core business of Datasensor - will enable the Automation Division to complete its product range (which already comprises industrial fixed-position scanners, radio-frequency readers, and laser marking products) for the industrial market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, integration of the technological platforms of the Automation Division and Datasensor is aimed at increasing Datalogic's innovation potential considerably, consequently improving the Group's competitiveness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING PRICE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the purposes of valuation of the Target Company, the Issuer's Board of Directors identified the advisory services company KPMG Advisory SpA as the independent expert appointed to prepare an appraisal (hereinafter also "&lt;em&gt;fairness opinion&lt;/em&gt;") to set a value on the Target Company, also pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2465 of the Italian Civil Code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benchmark criterion used for appraisal was &lt;em&gt;Discounted Cash Flow&lt;/em&gt; (DCF). In addition, to verifiy the valuation, two other methods were used, i.e. the market multiples method (relating to listed companies active in the sensors sector) and the comparable transaction multiples method (for acquisitions concerning companies active in Datasensor's sector or in any case in closely related sectors).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The independent expert's report revealed an economic value, for the transfer of the entire share capital of the Target Company, in line with the price agreed between the parties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. INCOME-STATEMENT, BALANCE-SHEET AND FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In practical terms, acquisition of the equity interest in Datasensor SpA by Datalogic Group will result in Datasensor's entry into the consolidation area of Datalogic Automation and, consequently, of Datalogic SpA.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. OTHER INFORMATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is pointed out that no change is envisaged in the remuneration of the directors of Datalogic SpA and/or of its subsidiaries as a consequence of the deal described above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, the Issuer's financial instruments owned by members of Datalogic SpA's management and control bodies at 31 December 2007 are shown below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bologna, 8th August 2008 - The Board of Directors of Datalogic S.p.A. - a company listed in the Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange, third largest world manufacturer, and leader in Europe, for barcode readers, rugged mobile computers and RFID (radio frequency identification devices) - approved the half-year interim report as of 30 June 2008 (1H08).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1H08 ended with consolidated sales revenues of &amp;euro; 193.6 million (mn), down by 2.7% vs. &amp;euro; 199 mn in the same period in the previous year (1H07), due to a persistent unfavorable trend of the USD. &lt;strong&gt;With constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, compared to 2007, the growth would have been approx. 3%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EBITDA of &amp;euro; 25.4 mn (-1.8% vs &amp;euro; 25.8 mn at 30th June 2007) and EBITANR* of &amp;euro; 19.6 mn (in line with &amp;euro; 19.7 mn for the same period in previous year).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consolidated net profit of &amp;euro; 11.8 mn in the first six months of the year, a significant improvement vs. &amp;euro; 7.9 mn at 30th June 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the second quarter of the year, consolidated revenues amounted to &amp;euro; 97.5 mn (+2.8% in comparison to &amp;euro; 94.9 mn in 2Q07); &lt;strong&gt;with constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, the growth would have been equal to approx. 9%&lt;/strong&gt;. EBITDA of &amp;euro; 13.8 mn (+17% vs &amp;euro; 11.8 mn in 2Q07) and EBITANR of &amp;euro; 11 mn (+24.5% vs. &amp;euro; 8.8 mn in 2Q07).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The separate business Divisions&amp;rsquo; sales (including intersegment sales) and segment results (before non-recurring costs/revenues and depreciation and amortization due to acquisitions), for the first half of 2008 (in Euro million), are listed below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, reliable reclassification of 1H07, on the basis of the new Divisions of the Group, was not possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 30th June 2008, the net financial position of Datalogic was negative by &amp;euro; 76 mn, an increase both in comparison to its position at 31st December 2007 (negative by &amp;euro; 62.5 mn) and at 30th June 2007 (negative by &amp;euro; 72 million).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would however point out that, in the first half of the year, treasury shares were bought for approximately &amp;euro; 12 mn. If treasury shares were included, the net financial position at 30th June 2008 would be negative by &amp;euro; 69 mn. In addition dividends were paid for &amp;euro; 4.4 mn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The auditing activity for the half-year interim report has not yet been completed and the audit report will be available within the deadlines set at law (29th August 2008).

&lt;p&gt;Bologna, 14th May 2008 - The Board of Directors of Datalogic S.p.A. - a company listed in the Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange, operating in the design, production and distribution of barcode reader systems and RFID (radio frequency identification devices) - approved the quarterly interim report as of 31st March 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Q08 ended with consolidated sales revenues of &amp;euro; 96 million (mn), down by 7.7% vs. &amp;euro; 104.1 mn for the same period in the previous year (1Q07) due to unfavourable trend of USD. &lt;strong&gt;With constant euro/usd exchange rates, the reduction would have been approx. 3%&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to recall that the first quarter of 2007 was particularly positive in terms of revenues as the Company planned the start-up of a significant reorganization on April 2nd and, with the aim of minimizing possible inefficiencies for customers, many orders, originally requested for April, were filled in March. During April of this year sales were equal to &amp;euro; 29 mn, up by 37% versus &amp;euro; 21.2 mn achieved in the same month of 2007). &lt;strong&gt;With constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, the growth would have been equal to 49%&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales revenues recorded in the first fourth months of this FY amounted to &amp;euro; 125 mn, in line with &amp;euro; 126 mn for the same period in 2007. &lt;strong&gt;With constant exchange rates Euro/Usd, the growth would have been approx. 5%&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EBITDA of &amp;euro; 11.6 mn (-17% vs &amp;euro; 14 mn at 31st March 2007) and EBITANR of &amp;euro; 8.7 mn (-20.7% vs. &amp;euro; 10.9 mn for the same period in previous year).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consolidated net profit of &amp;euro; 4.30 mn in the first three months of the year (in line with &amp;euro; 4.31 mn at 31st March 2007).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The separate business Divisions&amp;rsquo; sales (including intersegment sales) and segment results (before non-recurring costs/revenues and depreciation and amortization due to acquisitions), for the first quarter of 2008 (in Euro million), are listed below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bologna, 5th May 2008 - Datalogic Automation, through its affiliate company Laservall S.p.A., announces the signature of a significant agreement with IXLA S.A. - Business Partner of Laservall - worth approx. 4 million Euro, for the distribution of laser marking equipment for the production of secure electronic ID cards and passports, manufactured by the plant located in Donnas (AO), Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This order is in addition to other laser marking equipment supplies (for a total value of approx. 3 million Euro) already delivered during the first quarter of this year, concerning several projects in Europe, Asia and the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to recall that Laservall S.p.A. has developed a highly compact, precise and reliable desktop system that integrates high speed, high resolution laser marking, to engrave the photos and personal data with a checking system to ensure the quality and accuracy of the marked information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This technology, ensures instant production of reliable anti-forgery ID cards even in decentralized locations (i.e. border offices or small local communities).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guglielmo Piazzi, CEO of Laservall S.p.A. states "We are particularly pleased with this agreement as it provides further confirmation both of the quality and innovativeness of our technology and of the fast growth of this market."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Board of Directors authorised to undertake share buybacks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bologna, 15 April 2008 - Today the Annual General Meeting of Datalogic shareholders approved financial statements for the financial year ending on 31 December 2007 and passed a resolution authorising distribution of a dividend of &amp;euro; 0.07 per share.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The dividend - which for the previous financial year had been &amp;euro; 0.06 per share - envisages coupon (no. 2) detachment on 28th April and payment as from 2nd May 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;In FY2007 consolidated revenues grew by 6% to &amp;euro; 404 mn (vs. &amp;euro; 381.6 mn as at 31 December 2006).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;EBITDA amounted to &amp;euro; 50.1 mn (+31% vs. &amp;euro; 11.8 mn in 2006); EBITANR totalled &amp;euro; 37.8 mn (vs. 26 mn of the previous year), with growth of +45%. Consolidated net profit of &amp;euro; 18.1 mn (&amp;euro; 4.1 mn in the same period of the previous year).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;At 31 December 2007, the net financial position of Datalogic was negative by &amp;euro; 62.5 mn, worse in comparison to its position at 31 December 2006 (negative by &amp;euro; 58.3 mn), but an improvement on its position at 30 June 2007 (negative by &amp;euro; 71.8 million). We point out that, during 2007, treasury shares were bought for approximately &amp;euro; 28.9 mn and dividends were paid for &amp;euro; 3.8 mn. If own shares were included, the net financial position at 31st December 2007 would be negative for &amp;euro; 34.3 mn, a big improvement on its position at 31st December 2006 (negative by &amp;euro; 50 mn).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Lastly please note that, on February 20th 2008, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved the proposal to reduce the Company's share capital by means of cancellation of nr. 5,409,981 in treasury shares (equal to 8.472% of share capital). Subsequent to the cancellation of the shares, the share capital will therefore be composed of nr. 58,446,491 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.52 per share and will amount to Euro 30,392,175.32.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Shareholders also authorised the Board of Director to make transactions for the sale and purchase of own shares. Buyback operations are motivated by Datalogic' desire to act as a stabiliser, thus improving the stock's liquidity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;More specifically, this authorisation was granted for the purchase and transfer of up to a maximum of 5,800,000 Datalogic S.p.A. ordinary shares - equal to 9.9% of the capital stock - for the period intervening between today and the date of call of the meeting for the adoption of the 2008 balance-sheet, i.e. 18 months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;According to the approved plan, the purchase price of each ordinary share will range between a face value of &amp;euro; 2 and &amp;euro; 20.&lt;/p&gt;

With constant euro/usd exchange rates, the reduction would have been equal to 2% (proforma sales exceeding &amp;euro; 101.6 mn).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;In any case, as more than 50% of the Group's costs are in USD, the revaluation of the Euro against USD generates a positive effect on P&amp;amp;L that more than offsets the reduction in revenues.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The first quarter of 2007 was particularly positive in terms of revenues as the Company planned the start-up of a significant reorganization on April 2nd and, with the aim of minimizing possible inefficiencies for customers, many orders, originally requested for April, were filled in March (in fact the lowest level of monthly sales was recorded in April, &amp;euro; 21.2 mn, versus an average of about &amp;euro; 33 mn/month in the course of the year).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The order book performance - i.e. orders already received - was particularly positive, with the total rising to &amp;euro; 107 mn during the 1st quarter of the year (at current exchange rates).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;These are the preliminary revenue figures for Datalogic S.p.A., a company listed in the STAR segment, third largest world manufacturer and leader in Europe for bar code readers, rugged mobile computers, and RFID (radio frequency identification) systems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The Board of Directors will meet on 14th May 2008 to approve the accounts at 31st March 2008.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports - Dott.

If own shares were included, the net financial position at 31st December 2007 would be negative for &amp;euro; 34.3 mn, a big improvement on its position at 31st December 2006 (negative by &amp;euro; 50 mn).&lt;/P&gt;

The U.S.-based company was recognized for high quality of its web site in the competition's computer software category.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"By winning this prestigious award, Wasp has demonstrated the power of a thoughtful, creative approach to Internet marketing," said Roberto Tunioli, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Datalogic S.p.A. "We are excited that this strategy translates so well to the bottom line, since Wasp's small-business customer base continues to grow and look to the company for both products and information on how to improve their performance."&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The W&amp;sup3; Awards honor creative excellence on the web and recognize the creative and marketing professionals behind award-winning web sites, web videos and online marketing programs. W&amp;sup3; is the first major web competition to be accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms, and everyone in between. In its second year, the W&amp;sup3; Awards received more than 2,700 entries from ad agencies, public relations firms, interactive agencies, in-house creative professionals, web designers, graphic designers and web enthusiasts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Over the last year, Wasp has dedicated significant marketing resources to its web site.
