<INPH.O>


Interphase Announces Fourth Quarter, Full Year 1999 Results; Net Income up 56-percent for Quarter as Company Sets Record Levels of Financial Performance DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2000--Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and 1999 fiscal year that ended December 31, 1999. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1999, Interphase reported revenues of $18.2 million compared with revenues of $17.9 million for the fourth quarter of 1998. Profits for the quarter were up 56-percent with net income of $1.2 million compared to net income of $772,000 during the fourth quarter of 1998. Earnings per share were $0.19, representing a 36-percent increase from the same quarter in the previous year. Fibre Channel revenues for the quarter were $7 million, a growth of 111-percent from the prior year fourth quarter. Revenue from products for embedded telecommunications systems grew 510% compared to the fourth quarter of 1998 to $2.5 million, representing 14-percent of the total revenues for the fourth quarter of 1999. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the company achieved record revenues of $73.5 million compared to $68.8 million during fiscal year 1998. The company reported record net income of $3.4 million, or $0.56 per share, for the 12-month period during 1999, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.48 per share, for 1998. Storage initiatives fueled by demand for Fibre Channel server connectivity accounted for 48-percent of the company`s overall business during 1999, with Fibre Channel revenues growing at 210-percent for the year. Revenues for embedded systems products expanded 252-percent in 1999 to $6.4 million. Factors aside from revenue growth contributing to increased profitability include operating expenses that declined to 36.7% of revenues in 1999, from 38.2% in 1998, and the disposition of non-core business units. Interphase has experienced nine consecutive quarters of profitability, and the company continues to exhibit a strong balance sheet. Inventory decreased approximately $2 million over the year to its lowest level in several years. Long-term debt has been reduced $2.2 million since the beginning of the year and liabilities, excluding debt, were reduced $1.7 million during the same period. Stockholder`s equity grew by $9.3 million as a result of net income, favorable tax benefits from stock option exercises and increases in the value of marketable equity securities. Working capital also increased over $9 million during the year and cash equivalents grew to just over $16 million, the highest level in the company`s history. "We had a solid quarter that capped a year of significant progress for us," said Gregory B. Kalush, Interphase president and chief executive officer. "During 1999, we showed particular strength in the growth of our storage business led by Fibre Channel products, as well as in embedded telecommunications controller products. We achieved historic levels of annual financial performance in virtually every measure of operating success including revenue and earnings. And opportunities for our OEM business continued to emerge, benefiting from an expanding base of new products that will be introduced to the general market throughout the remainder of 2000."

Dieser Wert geht schon seit Monaten in die falsche Richtung. Nun sind recht gute Zahlen gekommen und der Wert läuft immer noch nicht. Das ist bestimmt kein gutes Zeichen.

[Flousi]

Naja also so gut waren die Zahlen wohl auch nicht, man sollte sich nur mal den Umsatz anschauen. Interphase ist halt leider am Boom derzeit überhaupt nicht beteiligt. Ich bin selbst investiert und bin es nun auch schon bald leid. Mich haben die Zahlen enttäuscht. Bei manchen ist hier wohl eher der Wunsch der Vater des Gedanken. Es gibt so gut wie keine Umsätze, neue Meldungen sowieso nicht, also sollte mich noch an dieser Aktie halten? Am besten wir holen uns ein Taschentuch und gratulieren Herrn Weber zu seinen Tips als Guru....

[TSIACOM]

...allerdings hat Herr Weber auch deutlich gesagt, daß sich Interphase erst in der Umstrukturierung befindet. Man darf also nicht unbedingt eine Kursralley sofort nach Erscheinen seiner Empfehlung in der "BO" erwarten, sondern sollte doch ein paar Monate Geduld haben.
Einer der umstrukturiert, muß erst zeigen, daß seine neuen Produkte fit für den Markt sind...

[steve_I]

Wenn ich mich recht entsinne ist die Umstrukturierung abgeschlossen.
Die Aktie braucht bloß Zeit, um wieder in den Blickpunkt der Analysten
zu geraten. So hatte er sich (glaube ich) ausgedrückt.

[Brem]

Ich finde aus der Sparte gibt es bessere Werte. Schon mal
den langen Chart angeschaut? Die standen 1991 schon bei 15 $
und heute gerade mal bei 23,00. Aber vielleicht hast Du ja
Recht. Ich wünsch es Dir, ich selbst würde aber nicht
einsteigen, bevor sich da nicht ein deutlicher Boden
gebildet hat! gruß brem

[Don Speculazio]

Ich bleib dabei und geb kein stück her!!!
vielleicht hat noch jemand ne kurze Übersetzung der Zahlen parat!!
INPH ist sicher einer der werte, die noch riesiges potenzial habenm im gegensatz zu manchen drecksacktien, die ohne grund steigen!!

happy shareholding/HK

[CrashKid]

Von wegen keine guten Zahlen - bzw besser Unternehme im Bereich FDDI

Der Markt für Glasfasertechnology gibt halt momentan ("zum Glück")
noch nicht mehr her und Interphase ist hier hervorragen positioniert.
Diese Wert muss man halt langfristig halten und momentan ist noch ein günstiger Einstiegszeitpunkt
