Amnis Systems Announces Optivision`s First Quarter Revenues Up 33% Year to Year; New Customers Include MCI Worldcom, DaimlerChrysler, LG Group


PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2001--Amnis Systems Inc. (OTCBB:AMNM), which has acquired Optivision, Inc., a leading global provider of networked streaming video systems, today announced that revenues for Optivision`s first quarter ending March 31, 2001 were up substantially from the same quarter last year.

Optivision`s total revenues for the first quarter were $1.33 million, a 33% increase from the same quarter last year reflecting revenue growth in all geographical areas. First quarter revenues were also up 14% from the prior quarter ending December 2000 reflecting continuing growth in the business.

"We are pleased with Optivision`s results for the first quarter as its expanded sales presence in Asia and Europe are beginning to show results. In addition, Optivision entered the second quarter with a strong backlog of orders from current and new customers," stated Michael Liccardo, Chairman, President and CEO of Amnis Systems.

Amnis Systems completed its merger with Optivision on April 16, 2001 and its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2001 to be released in August 2001 will include Optivision financial data.

First Quarter Highlights

Expansion of Customer Base

During the first quarter, Optivision added several significant new customers. New enterprise customers include MCI WorldCom, DaimlerChrysler, LG Group, and the Tulsa Fire Department. These customers have adopted high quality streaming video as a key strategic network application for learning, training and communication functions. Optivision also continued shipments to existing customers such as Verizon, Hughes Network Systems and several unannounced accounts.

New Product Features Added

In Q1, Optivision delivered the newest version of its LivePlayer(TM) desktop playback software. LivePlayer 1.2 allows an all-software solution for playing back high quality MPEG compliant streaming video over a broadband IP network. The software provides an easy to use user interface and installation for existing enterprise networks and enables network multicast viewing of MPEG1 or MPEG2 live streaming video for distance learning, training, telemedicine, surveillance and communications applications. In addition, it includes new integrated network and video protocol features for use in satellite delivery of video over IP to remote enterprise sites.

Overseas Presence Intensified

In Q1, Amnis expanded its international market coverage in Europe and Asia. New sales offices were established near Munich and in Hong Kong to provide direct sales and market development focus for the European and Asia Pacific regions respectively. As a result, Optivision has signed several new system integrators which have already contributed to building a pipeline of new business opportunities in both regions. Additional customer service and support personnel are planned during calendar 2001.

liebe grüsse xenia1245

[Checker]

Wobei doch Path1 Ticker PNWK und HP: www.path1.net
das bessere Produkt und die qualifiziertere Lösung
hat!

Good buy

Checker

PS: nur so zum Diskutieren, würde mich mal interessieren
wo ihr Vergleiche sehen würdet oder Argumente pro Amnis
(ausser das diese bereits div. Kunden haben und P1 dies
erst angeht)

[xenia1245]

@ checker:

die technologie von amnis ist in jedem fall um ein vielfaches fortgeschrittener. ein direkter vergleich ist hier eben nur in einzelheiten darzustellen. im allgemeinen stellt sich aber für beide unternehmen die frage wie lange sie die flaute an den börsen durchhalten. im beispiel amnis, sollte ein geschäft " platzen ", währe dies fatal und das unternehmen ist dann von einer sekunde zur anderen in einem neuen licht zu bewerten.


liebe grüsse xenia1245

Grüss euch ,

was mir bei amnis besonders gefällt ist der" branding name " optivision ( wechselt nun zu amnis ) . das grosse risiko bei amnis sehe ich, dass 61 % des gewinnes mit 4 kunden bestritten werden - fällt hier nur einer aus..... ?
leider stellt sich die amnis situation nun anders dar als bei der shell übername in usa und listing in deutschland, wie man unschwer auch schon am kurs erkennen kann - hier hat wohl jemand ein gutes geschäft gemacht.
zusätzlich gibt mir zu denken, dass immer noch 10 mill USD für ein private placement ausstehen, und noch nicht wahrgenommen wurden - das spricht in meinen augen für eine grosse unsicherheit und von mangeldem vertrauen. zumal die angebote für ein PP sich nun zwischen 3,50 USD und mittlerweile um ein vielfaches weniger bewegen - schleuder preis mit einer bindung von mind. einem jahr ??
eine weiter sache hier sind die news, denn mit einem hauptgeschäftsfeld von 4 kunden stellt sich die frage, inwieweit amnis in der lage ist weitere grosskunden entsprechend schnell zu bedienen . Ein weiterer faktor hier ist das volumen, dies ist bei ein paar kleinen verkäufen auch schon absolut kursgerfährdend.
Ich werde je nach kursentwicklung meine positionen in amnis in deutschland und usa mit verlust auflösen, und in substantielle technologie firmen an der nasdaq und nyse investiern um nicht das risiko des otc tragen zu müssen.
In meinen augen ist amnis eine tolle story mit hervoragenden aussichten, möchte hier aber keine menschen im hintergrund finanzieren, sondern selbst geld verdienen.
Ein blick auf den chart sagt leider sehr viel aus, hier sieht man die verkäufe im detail, die darauf hinführen, dass bei jedem kauf auch ein verkauf stattfindet – das geld wird „ getauscht“ - auf kosten der neuen investoren. Schade .

@xenia:

danke für deinen offenen und "Amnis-kritischen" Diskussionsbeitrag;
inwieweit Amnis die bessere Technologie hat im Vergleich zu Path1 kann ich nicht beurteilen, eine Antwort könnte hier liegen (?):
http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=PNWK.…
9. How does Amnis Systems technology compare to Path 1`s TrueCircuit® technology?

Amnis Systems, like Minerva, Optibase, and VBrick, makes an MPEG-2 encoder + MPEG to IP encapsulator in a combined unit. The encoder that Amnis uses appears to be targeted for non-broadcast applications, as it does not appear to have the specifications that broadcasters generally require. Furthermore, while Network Computing reported that their encapsulator had better jitter tolerance than Cisco, GDC, Minerva and Optibase boxes, they do not measure whether the output MPEG-2 stream adhered to the strict 500-nanosecond jitter tolerance of the SMPTE ETR-290 specifications that broadcasters generally require. Their box also failed the duplicated packets test (see chart http://img.cmpnet.com/nc/1214/graphics/1214f2chart.pdf?ls=NC…).
An additional, but critical, measurement that was not provided was overall, end-to-end latency (or delay).

In brief, they appeared to target distance learning applications, while Path 1 has been targeting professional studio and broadcast applications, and we have developed special technology to handle these more stringent applications. Broadcasters generally have a number of constraints, such as 4:2:2 MPEG compression quality, latency of less than 1 second, and jitter of less than 500 ns, that differentiate their needs.


Angesichts eines zukünftigen riesigen Marktes mag das event. auch müsig sein darüber zu diskutieren, für welche Technologie sich der Markt entscheiden wird oder ob er sich event. für mehrere (?)entscheidet.
Es sei dahingestellt, ob sich der Markt immer für das "bessere" Produkt entscheidet oder vielleicht einfach nur für das preiswertere!?

Ansonsten:
"amnis eine tolle story mit hervoragenden aussichten"

kann ich von Path1 auch behaupten,
bin aber in der Hinsicht gegenüber Path1 auch kritisch was die OTC-BB anbelangt;
solange sich die Aktie dort befindet: kannst`e vergessen! ( wie AMNM auch),
nur ein Spiel der MakerMaker (bei Bedarf kann ich ja mal etliche Links zu dem Thema: "die Machenschaften der MM am OTC" posten - wie z.B.: "I was a MM on the OTC . . ." etc.)
Seit 2 Jahren wird uns jetzt erzählt, man will an die Nasdaq (ich habe mich aber eigentlich die ganze Zeit auch gefragt mit was eigentlich !? - wo doch der Markt noch gar nicht da ist! - oder war es nur das Gepushe von . . ., jetzt fehlt`s am 3. director . . ?. . die müssten doch eigentlich angesichts der zig-tausenden auf der Strasse gelandeten techs etc. Schlange stehen.

Also: solange OTC . . . nur Manipulation,
als Beispiel kann ja mal "Jyra" dienen (bin ich seit 3 Jahren investiert, auch "Superstory" etc.):
gestern bei 200 Stück Umsatz 13% gefallen,
heute bei 44.000 (!!) Stück ganze 20% gestiegen,

ja, ja,
die MM sind auch nur Familienväter (u.a.), die die Mäuler ihrer Familiesprößlinge zu stopfen haben,
letztendlich sind die "Kleinanleger" die Angesch§§§enen.

Aber an der Nasdaq?
auch nicht besser!
ich bin auch in General Magic investiert (Spracherkennung und -software fürs Auto . . .z.B. Info dazu:http://www.business2.com/articles/web/0,1653,16831,FF.html, High bei 9 us$,GMGC, WPKN: 894165), Superstory, Superaussichten, Supermeldung von Oracle dazu letzte Woche ( "Oracle Embraces Voice Technology Across All Product Lines" ) = Anstieg von ca 75 cent auf ca 1$, jetzt einige Tage später wieder bei knapp über 70 cent.

Noch mehr Beispiele dazu?
Micromuse,Muse,
wird gerade abgeschlachtet,
jetzt bei knapp über 11 us§ (MK noch ca 850 mio $!)
high bei 60 !!

Keynote (das "bessere"? Produkt zu Jyra`s, nein, das billigere)
von ca 175
auf jetzt 8 us$!!

soll heißen:
hier wird mitgenommen, was zu holen ist, auch an der Nasdaq,
keine Aktie kommt auf die Beine solange der Markt daniederliegt und die "Gierigen" jeden müden Dollar mitnehmen,
Tagesgeschäfte
sonst läuft hier nix mehr
bis auf Weiteres . . .
