JYRA RESEARCH, INC. - RESEARCH
QUESTIONNAIRE
COMPANY:
Jyra Research, Inc.

INDUSTRY:
Solutions for monitoring IT systems

ISSUE:
E-Commerce

INTERVIEW WITH:
Mr. Erfan Ibrahim
VP North American Sales

GSN:
WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES IN YOUR
INDUSTRY AND WHY?
TS:
Quality of Service (QoS) from the end-user perspective is the most
critical issue in the industry because it is the end-user of applications
that determines the profitability of an organization. Poor QoS for
mission critical applications can adversely affect the productivity of the
end-user and therefore the bottom line profitability of the organization
in which he/she works.


GSN:
IN LAYMAN`S TERMS, DESCRIBE WHAT PROBLEM
YOUR PRODUCT ADDRESSES AND HOW IT SOLVES THE
PROBLEM:
TS:
The Jyra SMA engages application servers the way an end-user would
and measures the time it takes to perform different transactions. The
SMA collects the response time data and produces web based reports
to demonstrate the QoS of applications from different locations in a
network. The SMA software is installed on personal computers
attached to local area networks from where end-users access
application servers to capture their perspective of application QoS.
This approach has the dual benefit of capturing end-user perspective
of application QoS without being intrusive on end-user computers. The
web based reports can measure QoS of critical applications such as:

HTTP Web server response
SQL Database query

As well as network services such as:

DNS Domain Name Service
FTP Download
Telnet setup time
TCP Acknowledgement time

The SMA also measures the delay on the network using ping and trace
route to identify the bottleneck as being in the network or application
server. This helps reduce the trouble shooting time and saves on repair
costs.


GSN:
BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE EVOLUTION OF YOUR INDUSTRY
OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS:
TS:
Over the last 10 years IT organizations have evolved from
predominantly main frame systems to client-server architecture. The
computer network has been changing from offering connection based
services (dedicated links) to IP networks based on connectionless
services. There has been an emergence of Local Area networks
connected via Wide Area links to form routed networks with multiple
hops from end-user to application servers.

Additionally, the rapid growth of E-Commerce in the last five years
and the migration of enterprise and government organizations from
paper intensive to electronic based processes have made IT a critical
economic driver. This is leading to large investments in increasing
network and application server capacity as well as end-to-end
application and network QoS monitoring tools. The application
performance management industry is attempting to fulfill this QoS
monitoring need to improve network throughput and consequently the
profitability of the business that depends on it.


GSN:
IN YOUR OPINION HOW WILL YOUR INDUSTRY CHANGE
IN THE FUTURE?
TS:
The application performance management market will go through
significant changes in the next few years. Software vendors serving this
market will have to provide scalable affordable and easy-to-use tools
to meet the growing demand of Service Providers, enterprise
customers, and government agencies that are establishing large
multi-site IP networks with web based application services. The tools
of the future will not only have to be able to monitor critical
applications end-to-end, but will also have to be able to identify the
source of a problem in real time to minimize the effect on end-user
QoS.

There will be considerable flux in the application performance
management market as software vendors will merge, be acquired, or
restructure to make their products meet the stringent technical and
business requirements of their customers. There will definitely be a shift
in the APM market from products that could best be described as nifty
gimmicks to robust products that produce comprehensive data from
which intelligent IT decisions can be made.


GSN:
HOW WILL YOUR COMPANY RESPOND TO THESE
FUTURE CHANGES?
TS:
Jyra Research Inc. is already poised to meet the changing demands of
the APM market. The Jyra SMA offers the scalability, ease of use and
affordability that the IT organizations are seeking. Future versions of
Jyra SMA will offer enhanced support for monitoring critical
E-Commerce applications and deliver reports that allow IT
organizations to be more proactive. Jyra Research will continue to
provide software that can be easily deployed in different environments
with minimal technical support. This flexibility will ensure more wide
spread deployments and consequently better assurance of application
and network QoS.


GSN:
WHAT IS YOUR COMPANY`S VIEW ON CONTROVERSIAL
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR INDUSTRY?
TS:
One of the key controversial issues in the Application Performance
Management industry is how to monitor the application and network
QoS, and what constitutes the end-user perspective. Several vendors
are taking the approach of placing packet-monitoring agents on the
client desktops and monitoring the response times based on round-trip
delay of application traffic generated by the end-user.

Another group of vendors are deploying packet monitoring software
agents housed in proprietary boxes attached to the end-user segment
as well as the application server segment and monitoring the transit
delay of application packets between the two boxes.

Jyra Research Inc. employs a unique approach to measuring
application and network QoS from the end-user perspective. Instead
of measuring the actual end-user traffic patterns, Jyra SMA performs
synthetic transactions from its remote agents placed in different user
workgroups and measures the application and network response time
directly.

Jyra`s approach is based on argument that application and network
QoS monitoring should not be dependent on the end-user systems
because their usage profile may vary from segment to segment leading
to irregular data collection. While each end-user perspective is not
uniquely determined by this approach, the synthetic transactions give
an effective measure of global QoS from different end-user
workgroups without requiring end-users to perform transactions.

Jyra`s approach also has the added advantage of being able to control
the timing of the transactions and therefore producing time correlated
reports from different perspectives. This is critical to gauging the global
QoS of E-Commerce Applications, web-based services from ISPs,
and Intranet applications in enterprise and government organizations.
Additionally, the synthetic transactions allow network and application
layer latency to be viewed simultaneously which helps in identifying
bottlenecks, a benefit that cannot be realized in passive packet
monitoring tools.


GSN:
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE THAT YOUR
PRODUCT/TECHNOLOGY WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO ADDRESS?
TS:
Jyra SMA is a service level-monitoring tool designed to measure
network layer latency and application layer latency, end-to-end, from
the end-user perspective. This capability is required by enterprise
customers, service providers, e-commerce companies, and
government organizations to monitor network and application QoS to
proactively identify and correct business disruptive bottlenecks.


GSN:
WHAT MAKES YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE UNIQUE OR
SUPERIOR?
TS:
Jyra SMA is unique in its architecture, data collection technique, and
scalability. The use of Java, a distributed directory structure, and
presence of intelligent data collection and reporting agents is truly
unique in the market. The ability to simultaneously monitor the network
and application layer from multiple perspectives with summary
reporting makes it stand out in the APM market. Jyra SMA is a
leading QoS monitoring tool for today`s IP networks deploying web
based application services.

For the E-Commerce market, Jyra SMA can monitor the web server,
the e-commerce application and the back end database to give the
overall QoS picture in this multi-tiered architecture. When this is
combined with a time correlated view of network latency through ping
and trace route, Jyra SMA offers a truly unique E-Commerce QoS
monitoring package.


GSN:
WHAT INSPIRED THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR
PRODUCT?
TS:
Four years ago when Jyra Research Inc. was established there were
several vendors who were offering network and application
management tools that were device centric. With the increasing
demand for QoS assurance on multi-hop IP networks carrying mission
critical application traffic, device centric monitoring tools fell short in
providing IT organizations the perspective they really needed:
end-to-end from the end-user perspective. Jyra Research Inc. was
established to fill this void by offering a product that would capture this
end-to-end perspective and depict it in a way that would allow easy
verification of QoS levels.


GSN:
WHAT NEED DOES YOUR PRODUCT ADDRESS?
TS:
End-to-end network and application QoS monitoring for IP networks
used by service providers, E-Commerce companies, enterprise, and
government organizations.

IBM CEO sees technology shifts, not slowdown

(UPDATE: adds CEO quotes, background, context)

By Eric Auchard

NEW YORK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Despite a raft of warnings from major technology companies, the world`s biggest computer supplier sees a shift in favor of new Internet business tools rather than any overall slowdown in spending on technology.

``From my perspective, it`s a little too early to predict that what we`re seeing is in fact a slowdown in any (national) economy,`` International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news) Chairman and Chief Executive Louis Gerstner said in an interview on Tuesday.

``Having said that, if in fact it (an economic slowdown) does happen, I think what you`ll see is a reallocation of technology spending dollars, not a diminution,`` he told Reuters after making a speech to an industry trade show in New York.

Gerstner is the top executive at the world`s largest computer company -- the player with the most to lose if big corporate spenders stop buying its mix of computers, software and technical services. But whether or not markets actually see a major downturn in hardware sales, Big Blue can win either way.

RiverSoft jumps 27% to 120p in London debut

Internet software company RiverSoft (uk:rsft) surged as it made its initial public
offering in London on Wednesday. The stock rose in early trade to 120 pence -
a 27 percent increase on the asking price of 94 pence. The Surrey and San
Francisco based company, which manages the flow of Internet data across
networks, had originally hoped for a market valuation at IPO of £400 million. It
later changed its target to £216-287 million. The 120 pence price puts the
company at the higher end of that valuation.

http://www.ftmarketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid={77B680F4-D…
RiverSoft has no plans for U.S. IPO
. . .
Pleased by investors` response to Wednesday`s flotation, he said he thought the company`s
strategy had been well received.

He was particularly upbeat about a contract with Hewlett-Packard signed earlier this year to
include RiverSoft software in HP`s OpenView network management product.

Three-year-old RiverSoft makes software aimed at helping to manage the flow of Internet
traffic, set up network connections and fix transmission problems for Internet Service
Providers and large companies with their own networks. Its competitors include established
U.S. networking software specialists Novell [US:NOVL] and Network Associates [US:NETA]
plus Micromuse, where five of RiverSoft`s executives have worked.

The unusual suspects by Telephony staff
Online Exclusive, Dec 17 2000
The companies Telephony rounded up for this year’s Ten to Watch lineup
represent everything but the ordinary. No typical telco mentalities or
predictable me-too alibis to be found here: The rap sheets of the
companies in this crowd provide proof that standing out from the crowd of
communications service providers these days means taking a risky road.

This Telephony staff report profiles companies we believe will make
headlines during the next year—maybe indefinitely. Their unifying
characteristic is their competitive disposition. All but one of the
organizations that make up this year’s Ten to Watch were founded within
the past five years, and several celebrated their first birthdays this year.
That means they’ve been brought up against a backdrop of contention
where they’re always watching their backs.

But while the companies profiled on the following pages might be
considered accomplices in their push for competitive ascension, the
technology formats each of them wields are very different. Some of them
are lighting the way with glass—laying fiber in the metro network or using
it to connect cities and hubs. Some are shooting mobile apps across the
spectrum. Still others are not banking on a single technology but instead
keeping their options open.

The customer hits of these outfits also is varied, as are the services they’re
aiming to provide. Because most are new on the scene, they’re typically
going for high-end markets that will give them the biggest scores. But
some are stepping into the shadows, trying to take over smaller territories
where their more established rivals don’t yet lurk. Some of them are
taking new slants on old standby services such as voice, while others are
angling for new ways to host and deliver data content.

The burden of proof is on these companies to show hard evidence of their
potential. They’re featured here because they’ve done something to
deserve it—maybe they’ve raked in a lot of dough, shown that they’re
technologically crafty or proved themselves worthy of a showdown by
putting a dent in the customer base of their adversaries. Now they must
deliver on their promises.

Riding on the cusp of a technological wave is among the most exhilarating
times for any company. Of course, there’s always the danger of getting
swamped by the crest or being taken out by the undertow.

But for Jerry Parrick, CEO and founder of Yipes Communications, the thrill
of being at the front of the metropolitan optical wave is unmatched. Having
served as chairman and CEO of Nokia’s high-speed access group and as
president of the former U S West !nterprise unit, Parrick is familiar with the
spotlight. The difference this time around is that he heads a company at
the forefront of a technology that’s familiar to many of his customers:
Ethernet.

Broken down into its basic services, Yipes provides enterprise users with a
gigabit Ethernet connection between LANs that can be located as close as
next door or across the country. And while a number of companies claim to
be charging into the gig-E market with big pipes, Yipes’ plan is about more
than throwing huge amounts of bandwidth at the customer.

"We have a very ambitious plan to empower customers to control this
network," Parrick says.

Indeed, it’s that control factor that makes the Yipes plan different than
many others. Coining the term "Just In Time Bandwidth," Yipes’ three
currently available services let users control the amount of bandwidth they
want on a dynamic basis. "We characterize it as an application-aware
network," Parrick says.

Though somewhat new to the metro market, Yipes isn’t without
competition, namely incumbent carriers that have been offering to extend
ATM-based services. In response to the gig-E invasion, ATM advocates
continually point to the technology’s inherent quality of service (QOS)
capabilities. However, while Yipes’ technology is based on the Internet, it
isn’t quite the same, Parrick says.

"What [ATM providers] will generally cite is the common knowledge of QOS
in the Internet," he says. "The fact of the matter is, the network
architecture we’re using has several layers of QOS."

The architecture includes queueing behind every port, which lets the
company identify different levels of QOS. In the WAN, because the
company is buying transit from the largest carriers offering the most
stringent service level agreements, it also can enable multiprotocol label
switching.

"We have not had a single incident where an MIS director said to us, "No,
you don’t have enough QOS." Parrick says.

Ironically, Yipes is kicking its buildout into high gear at a time when the
investment community has turned sour on a number of other plans. That’s
particularly true of competitive carriers—a fact with which Parrick is well
acquainted. Still privately funded, Yipes has received about $230 million,
mostly from venture capital houses.

"I would characterize it as too many entrants in essentially the same
market niches," he says. "I don’t think you can have 25 or 30 competitors
in the same market without there being a shakeout."

In the metro market, though, there’s still enough room for differentiation,
he adds.

"If I was just offering big fat pipes, then I could say that the service is
going to become a commodity," Parrick says. "If I start laying on the
capability that I give customers, I’m no longer talking about a big, fat,
commoditized pipe. That’s actually a value-add."

subscription basis. MSPs operate similarly to Application Service Providers (ASPs) in that they deliver services via a network that are
billed to their clients. Unlike ASPs, which deliver business applications to end users, MSPs deliver system management services to IT
departments and other customers who manage their own technology assets.

RiverSoft Joins MSP Association, Defining Standards For Management Service Provider (MSP) Sector

SAN FRANCISCO – Dec. 20, 2000 – RiverSoft, a provider of advanced IP network management solutions, announced that it has
joined the MSP Association, an international consortium of companies that was formed to define, shape and promote the emerging
management service provider sector. The Massachusetts-based MSP Association, launched in June at PC Expo in New York,
plans to define and promote the management service provider industry by sponsoring industry research, providing a forum for
discussion of industry issues, creating market education programs and defining standards and best practices.

Recognizing that the network continues to become pivotal to the success of new and growing businesses, RiverSoft’s technology
provides MSPs the ability to offer customers a wide range of network management services. The company’s technology helps
customers decrease the frequency and duration of network failure by quickly finding and isolating faults, resulting in less network
downtime and greater productivity and profitability. Through its Alliance Program, RiverSoft offers MSP partners sales, marketing
and technical resources to assist them in marketing their bundled solution.

“RiverSoft`s involvement in the MSP Association is a benefit for all concerned,” said Gary Read, vice president of marketing for
RiverSoft. “By utilizing RiverSoft’s knowledge and unique network management technology, MSPs can effectively monitor and
manage their customers’ networks and greatly expand their portfolio of managed services. We look forward to the opportunity to
work closely with leaders in the industry to help define and advance the management services field.”

morgen liebe SPAZEN aktionäre
gestern ist folgendes geschehen.
die market maker sehen die an der börse liegenden STOPPS der börsenteilnehmer die ihre gewinne vor verluste absichern wollen.
auf deutsch sie legen eine stopp los order z.B. bei 0,49$
das heißt :
wenn nur EIN echter handel bei 0,49 existiert wird auch die stopp los order des anderen börsenteilnehmers ausgelößt.
die MM`s schieben sich gegenseitig 1000 stück zu 0,49 zu und schon können sie abfischen, da ja ein handel existiert
sollte nun ein anderer börsenteilnehmer sein stopp bei 0,45 zu liegen haben kommt dieser als nächstes an die reihe.
DIE MARKET MAKER sehen die STOPP LOS ORDER`s im ORDERBUCH und Sie machen sich einen Spaß daraus anderen
Aktionären Ihre Lieblinge wegzuangeln.

Somit manipulieren Sie den Kurs für einen Tag nach unten um EUCH Angst einzujagen.
Ich habe NIE STOPP LOS ORDERS im MARKT.

Pegasus Research: Potenzial der Krise

Als einer der Ersten sah man die Kapitalprobleme vieler Dot.coms - trotz neuerlicher Warnungen gibt es in der neuen Studie auch wieder Hoffnung

10.01.2001(GH 100).
Rund ein Drittel der insgesamt 335 untersuchten amerikanischen Unternehmen sind von akutem Geldmangel bedroht und sollen binnen
eines Jahres vor dem Aus stehen, meldet das renommierte Forschungsinstitut Pegasus in seiner neuesten Studie. "Der finanzielle Druck
ist so groß wie noch nie zuvor", sagte deren Präsident Greg Kyle über die Ergebnisse. 2 Milliarden Dollar Kapital haben die an den
Börsenplätzen gehandelten Internet-Unternehmen verpulvert, das könne nicht so weitergehen, speziell bei solchen Unternehmen, die mit
wenig zusätzlichem Kapital ausgestattet seien, so die Prognose für die Zukunft. Also werden viele mit dem "Bauch nach oben" enden,
während es nur wenigen gelinge, schließlich neues Kapital zu beschaffen.

Neue Liste erstellt - Investoren interessiert
Todeslisten sind nichts Neues und auch nicht sonderlich originell, manch einer vermutet sogar, dass die vorschnelle Veröffentlichung
sensibler Unternehmensdaten ebenso zum schnelleren Aus eines Unternehmens führen können. Der Tenor lautet: Alle wurden in einen
Topf geworfen, die faulen wie auch jene Unternehmen mit Potenzial. Bislang waren die Voraussagen von Pegasus in den drei
Vorgängerstudien stets zutreffend, die aufgestellten Firmen wurden danach entweder übernommen oder stellten ihre Geschäftstätigkeit
ein.

Doch wer meint, die Investoren zögen sich auf breiter Front zurück, der sieht sich getäuscht: Viele smarte Finanziers schauen sich auf dem
gebeutelten Markt um und suchen nach lukrativen Anlagemöglichkeiten. Ein Grund mag sein, dass der Industriezweig, trotz der o.a. 2
Millarden Dollar, den Gewinn gegenüber dem 2. Quartal 2000 steigern konnte. Rund 10% höher lag der Gewinn im 3.Quartal und liegt
insgesamt bei rund 15 Milliarden Dollar.

bargain-hunters unterwegs
Was diese risikobewussten Anleger suchen, sind Unternehmen, die den brutalen Ausleseprozess überstehen und danach mit rosigen
Zukunftsaussichten boomen könnten. Bill Hambrecht, Chef eines Auslegers der Investmentbank Chase H&Q, ist in diesem Geschäft aktiv, er investierte bereits in verschiedene Internetunternehmen. Hintergrund der Investmenttätigkeit ist die Annahme, dass die Anlage in
kapitalstarke Firmen keine große Rendite abwirft.

Ein weiteres Argument liefert Ryan Jacob nach, dessen Jabob Internet Fund im ersten operativen Jahr einen Verlust von 80%
erwirtschaftete. "Wir hatten eine komplette Umkehrung nach dem 1.Quartal 2000, nachdem zuerst alles stark überbewertet wurde, sind wir
nun in einer Phase, in der das Allermeiste stark unterbewertet ist". Grund genug, sich zu engagieren, meint auch Paul Cook von Minder
Net Fund. Er glaubt, viele Dot.coms verfügten nun über die besten Bewertungen. Für eBay erwartet er ein Wachstum bis zu 81% in diesem
Jahr. Dennoch mahnt er zur Vorsicht, denn viele Dot.coms werden wohl beerdigt werden, so die Einschätzung des Fondmanagers.
Alles schon mal dagewesen
Nach Hambrechts Meinung ist ohnehin alles schon mal dagewesen. In den frühen 80ern gab es nach seiner Erinnerung eine
gleichlaufende Entwicklung während des Computerbooms. Was damals die neuen Applikationen für den Markt bedeuteten, könnte in
Zukunft die Kabellostechnologie sein, meint zumindest Hambrecht. Jedoch wird die Investorentätigkeit nicht noch einmal so ungezügelt
sein, sollte tatsächlich eine weitere Welle der Dot.com-Innovationen ausbrechen, lautet das Fazit des Pegasus-Autorenteams.

been selected by Jersey Telecoms to manage its growing internal and external IP networks. Using RiverSoft’s network discovery
and fault-finding technologies, Jersey Telecoms expects to improve the proactivity of its network operations center and ultimately
deliver enhanced customer service.

Jersey Telecoms will initially use RiverSoft solutions to manage its internal communications network and IP service backbone,
which consists of broadband routers, ATM switches and an ASDL service run on Cisco equipment. These infrastructures were
previously managed using Freshwater’s SiteScope and CiscoWorks 2000. Jersey Telecoms will continue to use these products
and integrate them with RiverSoft to deliver a more comprehensive network management solution.

Jersey Telecoms has also recently launched the first of two new co-location centers where RiverSoft will manage customer
equipment. RiverSoft’s technology will encourage Jersey Telecoms’ customers to house their network equipment within these new
facilities.

“Not only does RiverSoft provide excellent IP network discovery, but an easy-to-use front end with powerful graphical presentation of
the network,” said Ted Hefford, head of Jersey Telecoms’ Broadband Group. “With this comprehensive network visibility, and
RiverSoft’s root cause fault management capabilities, both ourselves and our customers can be confident in our ability to
substantially reduce IP network downtime as well as increase the availability and operational efficiency of our Island’s network.”

“Today’s service providers face the challenge of delivering high service availability to customers while keeping pace with continually
evolving network infrastructures,” said Mark Rivington, European marketing director for RiverSoft. “RiverSoft’s network management
approach cuts through such complexity, providing a level of automation and timeliness that offers tremendous value to providers of
business-critical networking services.”

About Jersey Telecoms

Telephone service was first established in the Offshore Island of Jersey in 1895 and since 1923, the telecommunications systems
in the Island have continued to be developed by Jersey Telecoms and are comparable with those of the most advanced countries in
the Western World. Over the past 10 years, £63 million has been invested to provide the Island with a modern, high quality network
and there is a further planned expenditure of up to £77 million for the next five years.

Jersey Telecoms’ fully digital exchange network in the Island is extremely modern and utilises the very latest technologies which
are upgraded on a regular basis to ensure Jersey is not left behind in terms of standards and new services. Digital connections
reach out to customers’ premises via an extensive fibre optic network, over which connections to the System X exchanges are
made, or sophisticated Local Area Network (LAN) connections provided. The use of the very latest Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(SDH) systems provide the backbone for the inter-exchange connections and the submarine cables which link Jersey with the
outside world.

The JT GSM mobile telephone network now supports over 44,000 local users (in a population nearing 90,000) and connects with
more than 100 other foreign networks. As well as standard telephony, all major services such as ISDN, Centrex, Digital Private
Circuits, Telex, Fax & Data, Voicemail and Paging are also available to the Island community. The JT GSM network supports
mobile fax and data services as well as Short Messaging Service (text messaging) and a pre-paid mobile service.

Jersey Telecoms provides a number of Internet services to the Island which connect to the JT Internet Backbone Service, a fully
resilient high-grade connection to the world wide web. High speed Internet access using the latest Asynchronous Digital
Subscriber Loop (ADSL) technology was also recently launched ahead of BT last year.

YIPES GIVES BERKELEY INVESTMENTS` BUILDINGS
LIGHT-SPEED ACCESS TO INTERNET

Boston-based real estate investment and management company to use
Yipes` optical IP network for broadband tenant connectivity

SAN FRANCISCO, January 15, 2000 — Yipes Communications, Inc., the
defining provider of bandwidth on demand, today announced that Berkeley
Investments, Inc., a real estate investment, development and property
management company in Boston, has chosen Yipes to provide scalable,
high-speed Internet service to its tenants.

Berkeley Investments (www.berkeleyinvestments.com) owns more than $300
million in assets and manages more that 2.5 million square feet of commercial
property. Berkeley has established itself as an industry leader within the
converging worlds of real estate and telecommunications. Through its large
roster of new-economy tenants, Berkeley has developed a thorough
understanding of the telecommunications requirements of the high-tech sector.
Yipes will enable Berkeley to offer all tenants within their portfolio access to
cost-effective, scalable and reliable broadband services.

In the past, tenants have had to access the Internet mostly through ordinary
dial-up phone lines, far too slow to support serious Web surfing, multi-media
applications, or e-commerce. With Yipes` service, tenants will enjoy
state-of-the-art fiber-optic connectivity up to a gigabit per second-20,000 times
faster than a dial-up modem and at least a thousand times faster than the
typical DSL connection.

( BW)(IL-INTL-ENGINEERING) Next Five Years to Bring Tremendous Change to Telecom Industry


Business Editors

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2001--

IP over photons to come sooner rather than later

Despite the recent downturn in the stock market, technology continues to revolutionize the communications industry in response to
exploding traffic volumes and demand for enhanced services. This innovation will drive carriers over the next five years to an
IP-over-photon type architecture, according to Allan Van Buhler, vice president of global product development at Global Crossing.
"It depends on the type of carrier you are, but strong convergence continues to push toward a Layer 1 network fairly quickly.
Fundamental changes will take place in the near future, and incumbent carriers won`t able to stop it."
It`s not so much that new killer apps will emerge to drive the next-generation IP network, according to Van Buhler. It`s more a matter of
the converged network enabling carriers to do better than what they currently have in their sights--such as delivering efficient and reliable
VPNs, streaming content, and video services. The intelligence and network management for such services will reside both in the core
network and within the customer premise.
"You have to distinguish the network services you`re discussing when considering where intelligence will reside," Van Buhler says.
"Hybrid IP VPNs will be managed at the network level, not at the CPE. On the other hand, CPE in the future will help enable the routing of
customer communications around the edge of the network without entering the core by providing some nominal types of switching."
Van Buhler, who is overall conference chairperson for the Carrier IP World Forum next month in Miami Beach, says unified messaging
service is a good example of a killer app waiting to happen--one which will be propelled forward by the next-generation converged
network.
"Unified messaging is available today, but it`s not scalable or deployed effectively. It would become a killer application if someone could
do it effectively. What`s needed for this is a seamless, end-to-end IP network that allows for basic voice and data transport and
termination."
Bringing such enhanced applications into the core of the network and letting the network do it more effectively and efficiently is the key
deliverable of high-bandwidth, IP-centric architectures such as IP over fiber.
The Carrier IP World Forum, taking place February 12-15 at the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort in Miami Beach, Florida, is sponsored by
the International Engineering Consortium. The conference, co-located with the IN World Forum, will focus on challenges facing service
providers who seek to migrate to the IP-based network of the future. According to Van Buhler, the most important thing such service
providers need to do is believe in this vision of a converged, optical architecture for telecommunications.
"The ones who get left behind are those who are so skeptical that they wait on the sidelines while someone else figures it out," he says.
"To stay competitive you`ve got to keep moving forward."
"We haven`t seen anything yet," he adds. "What we`ve seen recently in the Internet will pale in comparison to what we`ll see during the
next five years. The pace of technology and innovation is astounding."
Topics to be addressed at this "convergence" event include evolving access networks, migrating to packet-switched topologies,
softswitch advances, achieving carrier-class QoS, managing next-generation networks, enhanced service creation and provisioning in
converged architectures, IP VPNs, and more.
Speakers include a wide variety of industry luminaries, including John Edwards, chairman and CEO, I-Link; Michael Bhurmann, senior
vice president and general manager, Software.com; Hassan Ahmed, president and chief executive officer, Sonus Networks; RJ Mahadev,
vice president of global softswitch product management, Level 3; Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, chief technology officer, OZ.COM; Bill
Morrow, vice president of group technology strategy, Vodafone AirTouch; Greg Santoro, vice president of Internet and wireless data
services, Nextel; John Young, vice president of network services, Sita/Equant Telecommunications; Kamran Sistanizadeh, chief technology officer, Yipes Communications; Patrice Carroll, senior vice president of engineering, WorldCom; Robert Klessing, founder and vice president of product development, Telseon, and many more.

[Cenix]

In den nächsten Tagen wird es im positiven Sinne ernst für
Jyra! Hier meine Begründung:

Im 10-Q vom 14.11.00 hat Jyra folgendes berichtet: "The
Company (Jyra) is seeking to partner with other companies
who have complementary products such as providers of
quality of service based billing solutions."

Ergänzend kamen zu dieser Zeit immer wieder Gerüchte auf,
Archie Adams würde sich häufiger in Frankreich aufhalten.
Jedoch konnte keiner etwas zu dem vermeintlichen Hintergrund
sagen.

Bekanntlich hat Jyra seinen Fokus auf Service Provider und
Telekommunikationsunternehmen gerichtet. In diesem Zusammen-
hang bitte ich die Aufmerksamkeit insbesondere auf Jyra`s
Press Release vom 21.03.00 ("Jyra Goes Mobile") zu richten.
Darin verkündet Jyra, daß man in der Lage ist mobile Netze
unter dem GPRS-Standard zu überwachen. Bekanntlich ist VIAG
Interkom gerade dabei, als erster Anbieter in Deutschland
GPRS einzuführen, um dem mobilen Internet zum Durchbruch zu
verhelfen. Weder Micromuse, noch Riversoft, noch Keynote
sind derzeit in der Lage mobile Netze zu monitoren.

Welches Unternehmen passt nun in diese Zusammenhänge?

Führendes Unternehmen im Billing-Bereich, d.h. im Management
von Abrechnungen, und dies insbesondere für
Telekommunikationsunternehmen ist die lange Zeit am Neuen
markt notierte LHS Group. Abrechnungssystemen kommt für die
mobile Kommunikation insofern hohe Bedeutung zu, als daß in
Kürze auch in Zentraleuropa die Zahlung via Handy (anstatt
in Bar oder per Karte) sich rasch verbreiten wird. Bei
Bezahlung per Handy wird der gezahlte Betrag dann mit der
Handyrechnung abgebucht. In Skandinavien ist dies bereits
heute Standard.

LHS wurde im vergangenen Jahr von der britisch-französischen
SEMA Group PLC übernommen. SEMA ist einer der größten
europäischen System-Integratoren und eines der größten
Outsourcing-Unternehmen (46% des Umsatzes). Der Telekom-
Bereich gilt als der wachstumsstärkste Geschäftsbereich von
SEMA.

Ich zitiere nun das Wall Street Journal Europe vom Mittwoch,
den 24.1.01 (Seite 5):

"Sema sells software to mobile-phone operators that helps
them manage their networks and bill customers. Despite
Sema`s recent travails, analysts say demand for this kind
of software is growing fast. Many operators are now
upgrading their networks to handle more data traffic using
a technology called general packet radio service, or GPRS,
and such companies are expected to order new network
management software."

In dem gleich Artikel wird ein Analyst der CSFB zitiert,
daß LHS in der ersten Jahreshälfte 2001 einen rückläufigen
Umsatz haben wird (-25%): "He added that the acquisition
of LHS may have caused Sema`s existing telecom business to
have "lost some of its momentum at a key point in the GPRS
buying cycle.""

Dies bestätigt, daß SEMA dringend aktiv werden muß, um den
"GPRS buying cycle" voll auszunutzen.

Meines Erachtens kann es sich bei der Lösung des Problems
nur um Jyra handeln. Dies würde auch die sehr positive
Stimmung im Hause Jyra erklären, die seit Anfang des Jahres
zwar von Mitarbeitern bestätigt wird, jedoch unter Verweis
auf "laufende Geschäftsverhandlungen" nicht begründet wird.

Eine strategische Allianz wäre aus Sicht von SEMA zum
jetztigen Zeitpunkt höchst attraktiv. Analog LHS muß es zwar
keine Übernahme sein (dies halte ich für äußerst
unrealistisch), jedoch könnte die Allianz durchaus eine
strategische Beteiligung von SEMA an Jyra beinhalten.

Für einen solchen Abschluß spricht auch, daß Jyra plant, in
den nächsten Wochen doch noch die Hauptversammlung für das
letzte Jahr abzuhalten. Vor dem Hintergrund eines solchen
Deals dürfte sich das Management endlich wieder zeigen
können.

Ich bin mir recht sicher, daß sich für diejenigen, die es
tatsächlich geschafft haben, trotz der frustrierenden

IDC Report Confirms Significant Benefits for RiverSoft Customers

Study finds RiverSoft customers save an average of $4.5 million annually

SAN FRANCISCO, January 25, 2001 – RiverSoft (LSE: RSFT.L), a leading provider of IP network management solutions today
unveiled the results of a Return on Investment study performed by International Data Corp (IDC). The report, “Quantifying the ROI
Benefits of IP Network Management,” investigates the tangible business benefits derived from the use of RiverSoft solutions in
today’s IP network environments.

The report was produced based on interviews with RiverSoft customers and focused on three areas of savings: efficiency,
productivity and availability. The results show that RiverSoft solutions allow service providers and enterprises to execute operational
change faster and for less cost while increasing network availability and reducing total cost of network ownership. According to
IDC, RiverSoft customers saved an average of about $4.5 million annually. Additionally, IDC estimates that customers typically
receive payback less than 3 weeks after implementation.

“In the networked economy, the availability of networked resources has become the yardstick by which corporate managers judge
IT performance,” the report states. With networks becoming more complex and qualified IT personnel difficult to find, network
management software must be able to keep pace with the dynamic nature of the network with minimal involvement of network
professionals. In particular, as businesses become increasingly reliant on IP networks, they are placing enormous demands on the
IP network infrastructures of their enterprises and those of service providers.

“Keeping these infrastructures performing at the highest levels with 24x7 reliability calls for a new breed of network management
system,” notes Elisabeth Rainge, Program Manager of Network and Service Management at IDC. “The new network management
systems must be able to handle rapid and explosive changes in network infrastructure with a diverse mix of devices, protocols and
communications links. Given the scarcity of qualified IT personnel, they should also function with minimal involvement of network
professionals.”

“RiverSoft represents the next generation of network management solutions designed to keep up with the dynamic pace of change
in network infrastructures,” said Gary Read, vice president of marketing for RiverSoft. “We believe that the results of this study
show our solution is not only scalable and reliable but brings about benefits that will significantly impact any business’ bottom
line.”

RiverSoft has taken the results of the commissioned survey, combined with other network management metrics gathered by IDC,
to create the “RiverSoft ROI Tool” which the company will be demonstrating at the upcoming COMNET trade show in Washington
D.C. The interactive tool will enable prospective customers to calculate the return on investment of the RiverSoft solution prior to
purchase.

RiverSoft will be offering personalized consultations using the RiverSoft ROI tool at its COMNET trade show booth (#856) in
Washington, D.C. from January 30 - February 1, 2001. Additional information about the research may be found at
www.riversoft.com/idc.

Betr.: SEMA

die Überlegungen von Cenix teile ich soweit auch, ich denke nur, daß es nicht SEMA ist.
"Dies bestätigt, daß SEMA dringend aktiv werden muß, um den "GPRS buying cycle" voll auszunutzen."
auch das wird richtig sein, nur ist die Sache inzwischen andersherum: andere sind im Moment aktiv in der Hinsicht SEMA übernehmen zu wollen.
Schon in einer Pressemitteilung vom 12. Januar
( http://www.sharecast.com/news/scnews1.asp?StoryID=3502 )
und in einer weiterer am gleichen Tag wird berichtet:
"Rumours doing the rounds yesterday suggested Cap Gemini had approached France Telecom unit Compagnie Generale des Communications -- Sema`s single largest shareholder -- in a bid to buy its 16.8 pct stake in the Anglo-French group."
Nach 2 Gewinnwarnungen verdichten sich inzwischen weitere Übernahmegerüchte von SEMA:

Logica makes takeover approach to Sema
Exclusive: By Neil Thapar
Thu 25 Jan 2001

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Software group Logica has made an estimated £3bn takeover
approach for its troubled rival Sema Group. But this was before the latest profit warning
on Tuesday according to senior bankers.


Top City sources told ShareCast that Logica, worth around
£8bn, made an informal approach to Sema within the past
few weeks, though it is still unclear how much it would be
prepared to pay for control.

Logica`s interest has come to light following two profits
warnings by Sema in the past three months, more than
halving its share price since the first warning shocked the
City in November. Earlier this week Sema again said that it
expected profits to be about £95m for 2000, compared to
previously heavily downgraded forecasts of £99m.

Sema`s problems, stemming from a disastrous acquisition
last year, have already sparked widespread market
speculation of a takeover.

`Logica has made an definite approach and Sema`s
shareholders want out,` one highly placed source said.
. . .

selbst wenn an einem Geschäftsabschluß Jyras mit Sema etwas dran wäre, wären diese Verhandlungen erst einmal auf Eis gelegt solange Übernahmegeschichten laufen, wäre im übrigen nicht das erste Mal , daß Jyra sich dann erst mal abwartend zurückziehen müsste.
Trotzdem denke ich nicht, daß da überhaupt irgend etwas mit Sema läuft,

Ich teile aber sehr wohl Cenix Einschätzung, daß z.Z. irgend etwas sehr Wichtiges läuft, allein schon, daß Jyra bei einer kommenden HV seinen Aktionären - besonders den Großaktionären um Rienk v. Kamer herum - etwas bieten muß, damit sie noch bei der Stange bleiben oder sogar noch nachkaufen (denn die kommenden QZ Mitte Februar kann man ja wohl auch wieder "in die Tonne treten", das kann sich ja wohl jeder selbst ausrechnen bei der Anzahl der PRs im letzten Quartal).
Denn wer faßt denn diese Aktie noch an, ein "Fremder" doch sicher nicht, außer event. Daytraders und die Maketmaker, die sich hin und wieder bei Gelegenheit einige (tausend) Stücke hinlegen, um sie dann bei einer PR - wie die letzte zu Cisco - schnell mit Gewinn zu verkaufen. Eine Meldung wie die zu Cisco holt auch keinen "Hund mehr hintern Ofen hervor", denn die Jyraveteranen können sich an so manche Cisco-Jyra PR erinnern, die nichts an Kursbewegung aufwärts noch an "revenues" ! sichtbar gebracht hätten.

Davon abgesehen ist der allgemeine Markt sowieso im Moment so, daß die Aktionäre alle auf Verlusten sitzen und mit ihren verbrannten Fingern im Großen und Ganzen keine Aktien anfassen wollen.
Da greifen die Firmen jetzt schon selbst zur Hand und kaufen ihre eigenen Aktien zurück, weil sie keiner haben will:

Tech Firms Led by AOL Time Warner Plan Big Buybacks
. . .

unter anderem:
Other tech companies announcing buybacks this week include Keynote Systems (Nasdaq: KEYN - news), which provides diagnostic services to companies operating e-commerce Web sites, and Internet consultant Razorfish (Nasdaq: RAZF - news). Keynote, whose stock fell 80% in 2000, plans to repurchase $50 million worth of shares, nearly 13% of the total outstanding.

hat den markt und die Anleger aber auch nicht mehr interessiert (was üblicherweise positiv bewertet wird, wenn eine Firma ihre eigenen ! Aktien zurückkauft),
den Kurs hat`s nicht interessiert, dümpelt bei Keynote weiter vor sich hin.
Und es komme mir niemend mit dem Spruch, den ich ab und zu höre "ja aber!, die waren mal ganz oben" , ja Klasse bei 177 us$, da "freut" sich ja der Anleger, der bei 150 oder von mir aus bei 100 us$ noch gekauft hat mächtig, denn . . . sie sind nur noch 1/10 wert;
da geht`s uns ja mit Jyra "vergleichsweise" noch echt gut, oder,
mal abgesehen davon, daß bei einer "ordentlichen" event. kommenden Pressemitteilung demnächst das Aufholpotential enorm ist.

mal was lustiges von der "konkurrenz"NEW YORK (Reuters) - AOL Time Warner Inc.`s (NYSE:AOL - news) CNN.com and CNNfn.com sites were down for ``less than an hour`` on Friday shortly after noon Eastern time due to an internal problem, not a hacker attack, a CNN spokeswoman said.

The sites for the company`s 24-hour news network, its financial channel and sports channel (http://www.cnn.com) and (http://www.cnnfn.com, http://www.cnnsi.com) were up and running again at 1.30 p.m., said Edna Johnson, a CNN spokeswoman.

The company was still investigating whether the problem was caused by internal human error but has ruled out that it was a victim of a hacker attack, Johnson said.

``Suddenly it was dead,`` said Eric Siegel, a consultant with Keynote Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:KEYN - news), a San Mateo company which measures Web site performance around CNN`s sites. ``That sort of traffic stoppage doesn`t indicate a denial of service attack, which is more gradual.``

YIPES CTO WINS COMNET HONOR

Dr. Kamran Sistanizadeh named Ovations award winner for access network design and engineering

SAN FRANCISCO, January 31, 2001 — Yipes Communications, Inc., the

05.02.2001: Nächster Internet-Boom startet Ende 2001!!
Nach der Riesen-Miese kommen schon bald wieder Goldene Zeiten für
Internet-Aktionäre. Diesmal sogar auf dem soliden Fundament hervorragender
Unternehmenskennzahlen, denn die Umsätze und die Ergebnisse werden seitens
der Analysten schon bald wieder nach oben korrigiert werden müssen.

„Internet“ – dieses Wort hat sich im Jahresverlauf 2000 von einem
glücksgefühlauslösenden Nomen zu einer nur mehr in Verbindung mit Crash und
Verlusten gesehenen Buchstabenreihe gewandelt. Kursverluste bei Größen wie
Yahoo! oder CMGI von –84 % bzw. –96 % belegen das Debakel wohl eindeutig.

Zum einen war es klar, dass die überzogene Internet-Euphorie, die zu einer
massiven Aufblähung mancher Firmenbewertungen geführt hatte, ein Ende finden
würde. Dass dieses Finale allerdings so rasch und so jäh erfolgen sollte,
überraschte sämtliche Analysten. Doch nach einigen konjunkturbedingten ruhigen
Wochen könnte im Herbst ein neuerlicher Boom einsetzen.

Laut einer Prognose des amerikanischen Marktforschungsunternehmens Forrester
Research sollen die Ausgaben für Online-Werbung im Jahr 2001 doch stärker
ansteigen, als noch vor wenigen Wochen befürchtet wurde. So erwarten die
Analysten für unseren Kontinent ein Werbeaufkommen von 1,2 Mrd. Euro. Dies
entspricht einer Steigerung von 74 % im Vergleich zum Jahr 2000, in dem 0,69 Mrd.
Euro umgesetzt wurden. Während das erste Halbjahr 2001 noch relativ ruhig sein
könnte, sollte die zweite Jahreshälfte deutliche Zuwächse bringen.

Dieser neue Internet-Boom könnte primär von der Old Economy getragen werden.
So wurden im Jahr 2000 lediglich 31 % der Online-Werbeausgaben von
traditionellen Unternehmen getätigt und satte 69 % von New Economy-Firmen. Im
Jahr 2005 soll nach Ansicht von Forrester die Welt völlig anders aussehen. Dann soll
der Anteil der alten Wirtschaft auf 85 % der Internet-Werbeausgaben angestiegen
sein, die neue Wirtschaft hätte dann nur noch einen Anteil von 15 %.

Dieses Szenario, verbunden mit sich nun bereits stabilisierenden Weltbörsen, sollte
im 3. Quartal 2001 den Grundstein eines auf positiven Fundamentaldaten
basierenden Kursanstieges der Internetwirtschaft bilden. Damit würde das Wort
„Internet“ im Jahr 2002 nicht nur für Wachstum, sondern auch wieder für
Aktiengewinne stehen.

RIVERSOFT ANNOUNCES OEM AGREEMENT WITH CISCO FOR 2.5G AND 3G MOBILE WIRELESS MANAGEMENT

Cisco to integrate RiverSoft`s Fault Manager software into future mobile wireless management solutions

FEBRUARY 12, 2001

SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON - February 12, 2001 - RiverSoft (RSFT.L RSFT LN), a leading provider of IP (Internet Protocol) network management solutions, today announced that it has entered into an OEM agreement with Cisco Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, RiverSoft will provide Cisco with a tailored version of RiverSoft Fault Manager software that will provide specific mobile wireless network management functionality to support Cisco`s 2.5G and 3G network elements. The solution will ship to several customers this month and is expected to be generally available by mid-2001.

The RiverSoft advanced discovery, status monitoring and root-cause analysis software is designed to recognize and adapt to changes in networks with a reduced need for time intensive intervention by skilled network personnel. The software will enable the fault management of Cisco`s GGSN (gateway GPRS support node), PDSN (packet data serving node) and Catalyst switches.

The software will provide network managers with a correlation capability allowing them to quickly isolate and determine root-causes of network problems thereby significantly reducing problem resolution time. An additional benefit is the reduction in event traffic that will be sent to other OSS management applications, easing a significant challenge for wireless service providers.

"In our testing, RiverSoft`s technology was able to successfully discover our devices and their connectivity. Additionally, the software`s flexibility and powerful integration capabilities with other OSS applications made it a good fit to provide fault management for our mobile wireless solutions," said Jon Shantz, vice president of Cisco`s Mobile Wireless Group. "We believe that this application will provide Cisco`s mobile wireless service providers with a software tool that will positively affect productivity and performance."

"The Cisco OEM deal scores a bulls-eye for RiverSoft strategy. After all, if your goal is to gain widespread adoption of your network management technology what better way to move that agenda forward than to have Cisco as your champion?" offered Valerie O`Connell, managing director for enterprise management, Aberdeen Group. "Cisco`s choice of RiverSoft technology to safeguard reliability for its wireless customers is a testament to the effectiveness of RiverSoft`s network management innovation and to the sharp business acumen of Cisco.
Another win/win."

"Today`s announcement marks not only our entrance into the growing mobile wireless market, but a new relationship with a market leader," said Phil Tee, chairman and chief technology officer of RiverSoft. "We are extremely pleased that Cisco has chosen to work with RiverSoft in developing a solution for mobile wireless service providers. RiverSoft is clearly executing on its strategy to strengthen the OEM business. This agreement further validates the RiverSoft next generation technology and is an important milestone for the company."

One of RiverSoft`s stated objectives is to populate the marketplace with RiverSoft technology by signing major OEM agreements with established market leaders. The Cisco OEM agreement represents RiverSoft`s third major OEM partnership in the past six months. In November 2000, RiverSoft announced that Hewlett Packard Corporation acquired a license to use RiverSoft technology to power future HP OpenView solutions. In September 2000, RiverSoft announced an OEM agreement with Intel Corporation.

RiverSoft share price set to swell (hold Tuesday, subbed)
By Tony Glover
Mon 12 Feb 2001

LONDON (SHARECAST) - RiverSoft, a £340m newly-listed UK software company that has carved a unique niche for itself in the US, is winning a series of orders that the City believes will continue to grow its revenues for years to come.

Despite a burn rate of £2m a month, City stockbroker UBS Warburg has set a target price of 185p for the stock, even though it has already risen to 142p from 124p when the company had its IPO in December.

A deal with £140bn US-based internet networking giant Cisco announced this morning, is one of a series of contracts with companies including Intel and HP that analysts believe will increase the company’s future revenues.

Milan Radia, an analyst at UBS Warburg, said, "The Cisco deal will probably bring £300,000 in revenues for 2001, rising to £1m to £2m per year thereafter. But this is set to rise even higher by around 2004 as third-generation mobile phone networks begin to grow."

The Cisco contract comprises an exclusive agreement to provide fault management software for Cisco’s next-generation mobile wireless network management systems.
RiverSoft specialises in software that plays on corporations’ fears of their communications networks failing. It also provides damage limitation software to corporations such as British Airways and Deutsche Telekom, in the event that their IP network crashes.
RiverSoft says its software reduces the time spent identifying a network fault, from days to seconds.

Radia said, "There is now terrific potential for RiverSoft’s products among telecoms network operators. The big growth area in this sector is providing high-value data services to corporate customers. It is absolutely vital that these services are robust and reliable and this is what RiverSoft’s products can help ensure’.

He added that as they have no direct competitor in the UK - although there is a partial overlap with some of the software provided by UK-founded, US-based, £3bn Micromuse.
Before founding RiverSoft in 1997, RiverSoft chairman Philip Tee was chief technical officer at Micromuse.

FrontRunner ist bekanntlich Jyra-Partner.

FrontRunner hat die feinsten Adressen im britichen Telekom-
Bereich als Kunden und ist sehr stark innerhalb der gesamten
British Telecom-Gruppe beschäftigt (z.B. BT MNS, BT Labs,
BT Syncordia, BT Concert und BT Cellnet).


Hier Auszüge aus den Marketingmaterialien von FrontRunner
betreffend Jyra:


Jyra provide FrontRunner and their ASP partners with critical
advantage in pursuing high value video streaming business.

Especially Jyra provide FrontRunner`s customers with
competitive advantage over the major competitive provider
in this sector, Akamai.


Akamai

Akamai is a product that assists in the delivery of
broadcast transmissions over the Internet. This is achieved
by having a number of specialist devices hosted at key
locations within the Internet. Customers who are
subscribing to a broadcast transmission will then be
connected to a local Akamai device. The traditional
approach would be for the customer to be pointed to a
device situated in the broadcasting company`s premises.
Performance issues over the Internet would affect the
quality of the transmission.

The key financial benefit to a service provider is the
revenue derived from hosting the Akamai device. A smaller
but obvious benefit would be the reduction of bandwidth
consumed between the hosting site and the broadcasting
company as customers are attaching to a local device for
the transmission. The main benefactor of this system is
Akamai, the broadcasting company and the end-consumer.
Service provider still need to deal with the bandwidth
within their own network that the broadcast traffic is
consuming.

The most important point is that Akamai retain the lion`s
share of any revenue, purchasing only a number of commodity
services from the service provider. Akamai own the customer
they will always be able to source the required commodity
hosting and bandwidth services from the lowest bidder.

Jyra

Service providers derive their revenue by selling bandwidth
and hosting facilities. As the Akamai modal provides little
real increase in revenue and still leaves the network
traffic problem, a more constructive approach is required.
Broadcast transmissions require low levels of delay and
little or no loss of packets. In short a quality of service
that meets broadcast requirements. Service providers, by
using Jyra product, can configure their own systems to meet
this requirement.

End-to-end performance can be measured from key locations.
One of these locations could be the broadcaster. Jyra will
measure the delay across the network and highlight
pro-actively devices/links that are introducing unnecessary
latency. The information produced by Jyra can easily be
made available to customers via a web browser as part of the
service.

Jyra allows service providers to tune either their entire
architectures or individual VPNs to meet the performance
requirements of individual customers. The opportunities for
profit arising are immediate and revolve most crucially
around attracting end customers who have specific
requirements for premium or managed performance. These
include customers with any of the following requirements

Service providers can directly address streaming ASPs and
customers managed performance for the broadcasts. Jyra
allows service providers to offer Premium services for
Premium Customers: This capability allows service providers
to tune either their entire architectures or individual VPNs
to meet the performance requirements of individual streaming
or content customers. The opportunities for profit arising
are immediate and revolve most crucially around attracting
end customers who have specific requirements for premium or
managed performance. These include customers with any of the
following requirements; Live video-streaming customers,
event centered hosting, Real Time Market Data.

Service providers partnering with Jyra retain the lion`s
shares of content performance revenue and retain the
relationship with the end customer.

Jyra and FrontRunner

The chart below shows Jyra reporting a router configuration
error along the path of a video stream or any performance
sensitive content.

Jyra`s crucial differentiation is that it allows FrontRunner
to cross-reference the effect of his error on the streaming,
or content performance capacity end to end. See Chart below.

Jyra`s ability to report performance in this way is crucial
for network operating efficiency and also for providing
competitive statistics to support service providers
competing with Akamai.

Jyra will allow FrontRunner to demonstrate that they offer
superior and most importantly managed performance when
compared to Akamai. Jyra could compare and contrast the
performance available from streaming and content services
available from their partners with those of Akamai. Working
with Jyra, performance could be managed to demonstrate
dramatic real advantage to the customer over using Akamai.

The relative end to end capacity available between a point
of monitoring is well illustrated above where the time taken
to download a file equivalent to 100 128K streams is
illustrated. The brown line could illustrate performance
available from a stream running across a Jyra managed
network and the gray line, the same stream across an
unmanaged network.

Additional Jyra Profit Creation Modules:

1. Graded Levels of Performance: Jyra enables providers to
offer relative levels of performance for specific services.
Jyra provides FrontRunner with a means of measuring,
verifying, reporting and billing for services at different
levels of quality to different customers. Even simply
including Jyra`s reporting within a standard service has
the effect of radically reducing price erosion of the
service.

2. Performance Selection Gateways: Jyra enables providers
and customers a view of end to end performance and of
performance hop by hop across any network, even beyond the
owned network domain. This provides a visibility of the
relative effectiveness of different paths through networks
allowing customers to select the most effective and allowing
providers to look beyond peering gateways and manage overall
performance. This in effect allows service providers to
operate a bandwidth exchange allowing customer to select
the most performant and therefore profitable paths across
the Internet

3. Customer and Service Performance: On-line customer care
systems populated by Jyra reports can show each customer the
actual performance across the network between any of his
sites. The customer can identify the cause of any delay and
is guided about what to purchase i.e. more bandwidth or more
server capacity, in order to improve performance.

4. Performance Audit and Services: Jyra opens up revenue
streams through performance audit activity. Jyra automated
reporting combined with a lite weight version of our product
that can installed on a laptop and taken to customer sites
provides a ready stream of revenues. This service is
available through Cisco`s Professional Service Channel as
the "Performance SNAPSHOT" Service.

These performance models can be deployed in combination or
individually to greatly increase the revenue take form an
existing base of customer and to attract new high value
customers.

Conclusion

Working with Jyra and providing performance management from
within FrontRunner`s own network will attract high margin,
high value customers to whom FrontRunner will be able to
sell high value services. Adopting Akamai will reduce
FrontRunner to a commodity player as platform services such
as rack, bandwidth, and low level managed services become
free from major player.



Ergänzend (falls es noch niemanden aufgefallen ist):

Jyra hat einen neuen Director. Phil Bryant (seit 1998 bei
Jyra) ist jetzt Director für das Bid Management und damit
für die Koordination aller Angebote, die Jyra rausgibt,
verantwortlich. Dort muß ja ganz schön was los sein.


Der Markt ist derzeit wirklich sch...., aber Jyra ist ein
Gewinner! Die Mission ist klar: don`t talk - deliver!

na wie wär`s mal mit einer Buchempfehlung zum Wochenende, passend zur allgemeinen Börsenstimmung (und zur Vollmond-)?

http://www3.buch.de/pages/functions.phtml?IdentNR=200454106&…


Autor/in:
Ogger, Günter;
Titel:
Der Börsenschwindel
Untertitel:
Wie Aktionäre und Anleger für dumm verkauft werden
Verlag:
Bertelsmann, München;
Weitere Infos:
2001. 319 S. 22 cm gebunden
Erscheinungsjahr:
2001
ISBN:
3-570-00498-8
Preis:
DM 44.00

Kurzbeschreibung:
Mit der T-Aktie fing alles an: Das Spiel um Dividenden wurde zum Volksport, Klein- und Kleinstanleger mischten mit, jeder wollte dabei sein. Kaum ein Wirtschaftszweig fuhr in den vergangenen Boomjahren so üppige Gewinne ein wie die Finanzbranche.
Angeheizt wurde alles nicht nur von Banken und Analysten, auch die Medien - Zeitschriften, Verlage, Börsendienste - haben kräftig an der Charthysterie verdient. Nach dem Absturz der in immer wahnwitzigere Höhe getriebenen Kurse kam die große Ernüchterung.
Günter Ogger beschreibt die wahren Hintergründe, nennt Verantwortliche aus Politik und Wirtschaft, die die Gier nach mehr immer weiter anheizen, analysiert die dubiosen Machenschaften der "Big Player", die beim Abzocken die Fäden in der Hand halten und nennt die vielen Verlierer - Day-Trader, Hausfrauen, Pensionäre. Hier erfährt der Leser, was es mit dem Neuen Markt wirklich auf sich hat, wie mit Fonds abkassiert wird, wer vom "Berater" am Bankschalter bis zum Chefredakteur des Wirtschaftsmagazins tatsächlich das große Geld macht, wo und wie der (Klein-)Anleger meist das Nachsehen hat. Wer glaubt, an der Börse werde mit wirtschaftlichem Sachverstand und nach seriösen Regeln vorgegangen, muss sich eines Bessern belehren lassen.
Günter Ogger macht deutlich: Manipulation und undurchsichtige Manöver der Großanleger, Massenpsychose und nicht zuletzt purer Zufall beherrschen die Szene. Trotz aller Kritik geht es dem Autor nicht um eine endgültige Verdammung der Aktie:
Sein Anliegen ist vielmehr, dem Leser durch sachkundige, bestens recherchierte Informationen und konkrete Ratschläge rund ums Spekulieren den richtigen Umgang mit den riskanten Dividendenpapieren zu vermitteln. Denn: Aktien könnten durchaus sinnvoll zur Vermögensbildung breiter Schichten genutzt werden - doch nur wer wirklich Bescheid weiß und nicht auf zweifelhafte Meinungsmacher, Banker und Analysten hereinfällt, wird im riskanten Spiel ums Geld schließlich gewinnen.


schönes Wochenende trotzdem

P.S.:
1. ich kenne dieses oder andere Bücher vom Autors selbst noch nicht.
2. "Ähnlichkeiten" zu Jyra wären rein zufällig und sind meinerseits nicht beabsichtigt.
3. ich gehe als Jyraaktionär eher vom letzten Satz der Kurzbeschreibung aus, auch wenn uns allen der Untertitel schon seit Jahren sehr geläufig und bekannt vorkommt.

[Antarius]

für das Buch von Günter Ogger gibt es jetzt unter der von mir angegebenen Seite eine Leseprobe!:
http://www3.buch.de/pages/functions.phtml?IdentNR=200454106&…

Leseprobe:
Die Party ist vorbei, die Verluste bleiben. Noch immer sitzen Deutschlands Aktionäre auf Bergen hoffnungslos überbewerteter
Börsentitel, noch immer haben viele von ihnen an den herben Verlusten zu knabbern, die ihnen der Kurssturz auf Raten im Jahr
2000 bescherte. Aber unverdrossen wirbt die Propagandamaschinerie der Finanzwirtschaft um weiteres Geld für die Börse.
Banken, Fonds und Vermögensverwalter rechnen uns reich und machen uns arm.
Dieses Buch will nicht die Aktie verteufeln, es richtet sich auch nicht gegen die Börse. Einziges Anliegen des Autors ist es, die
Leser zum vernünftigen Umgang mit den riskanten Wertpapieren anzuleiten und sie auf die Gefahren aufmerksam zu machen, die
auf dem verminten Gelände des Aktienmarktes drohen.

A number of sad consequences

Sub-2000 Nasdaq not technically much worse, but...
By Deborah Adamson, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 5:34 PM ET Mar 12, 2001


LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) - Amazing how much stock investors put in a number.

The Nasdaq index started with a "1" on Monday for the first time since December
1998, a most depressing development considering it began with a "5" just a year
ago.

While the number 2,000 isn`t technically important, investors` confidence and sense
of security is undermined by the tech-heavy index collapsing below that threshold,
experts say.

"It`s bad," said Robin Griffiths, chief technical strategist at HSBC. The breach is
"more psychological than anything, but I think it`s very important."

Nasdaq drops in recent memory "nearly always end at the place of capitulation,"
Griffiths said. "The break below `2000` means the capitulation leg has started."

Capitulation involves investors who staunchly held their stocks in the belief their
companies would bounce back. In a capitulation phase, even these stalwarts
buckle and sell as their portfolios keep dropping.

Al Goldman, chief market strategist at A.G. Edwards, calls it "irrational depression."
Hear Goldman`s analysis.

The Nasdaq "could easily fall another 500 points," Griffiths added.

But this "climactic" period is unlikely to last longer than two to three months, he
said. After such a time, beaten-down "gorilla" stocks such as Cisco (CSCO: news,
msgs, alerts) , EMC (EMC: news, msgs, alerts) and Sun Microsystems (SUNW:
news, msgs, alerts) could well rally.

However, Griffiths does put forward a worst-case scenario.

By overlaying the movement of stocks during the crash of 1929 onto today`s
Nasdaq, with adjustments, the index could fall as low as 800.

But the technical strategist believes that`s an extreme.

The country is much stronger economically today than it was during the Depression
years, he argued. Besides, while the tech bubble has burst, the industry itself is
quite real and promising.

Nasdaq in 1998

The 2,000 level breached Monday amounted to the Nasdaq`s high for 1998, said
Elaine Yager, a senior technical analyst at Herzog Heine Geduld.

But within three months from that July peak almost three years ago, the index
tumbled to 1,357 "when the Fed started reining in money supply," she said.

Yager calls the Nasdaq decline a "downside roller coaster."

The next support level for the Nasdaq is 1,960, then 1,900, 1,800 and 1,711, she
said.

However, "nobody`s going to pick a bottom here," Yager added.

In the meantime, the tech wreck has taken another one down: The S&P 500, which
has a good number of tech stocks. The S&P 500 is in a bear market with more than
a 20 percent correction, she said.

But what has been more startling is the failure of the Nasdaq to bounce back from
"oversold" conditions and stick to a rally.

"The damn thing is oversold and stays oversold," said Steve Todd, publisher of the
Todd Market Forecast investment newsletter, named the No. 1 market timer for the
past three years by Timer Digest.

Buyers are ignoring these oversold conditions, he said.

In technical analysis, being oversold means a market in which there was stronger
selling than was justified by the fundamentals. When indicators point to oversold
levels, the market generally rallies.

At this point, Todd doesn`t rule out a "secular" bear market. It`s a deeper, more
serious decline like what happened in Japan.

Although he`s not saying this decline would last for 20 years, it certainly could last
longer than the cyclical bear markets investors have experienced in the last two
decades. In the latter, the downturn was short, part of a regular adjustment of equity
prices.

This time, because the Nasdaq has shot up to more than 5,000 so quickly, the
downfall could be more prolonged and painful, he said.

Investors should be in cash, especially older folks, Todd said. For the bold, they
might want to consider some bargain stocks, such as Cisco and Oracle (ORCL:
news, msgs, alerts) , which are good buys right now.

As for people who are sitting on steep losses in technology, "it`s too late to sell. You
may as well sit on it," Todd said.

P.S.:
alte "in Jahren Leid erfahrene Jyrahasen" sitzen das ganz locker aus, oder etwa nicht?

"Klasse" wie man (die MM, market maker)das so an der OTC hinkriegen, den Kurs mehrmals an einem Handelstag mit jeweils nur 100 Stück um ca 10 - 15 % nach unten zu manipulieren!

Ansonsten scheinen event. auch einige Jyra Aktienäre mal eben für Path1 Aktien umgeschichtet zu haben wegen des anstehenden Nasdaq-Wechsels; zeigt nur das übliche Bild, dass sie (leider wieder einmal) überhaupt nicht informiert sind über "wirklich große Ereignisse", die in sehr naher Zukunft anstehen und bekannt gegeben werden.

[Cenix]

Antarius,

bin voll Deiner Meinung. All diejenigen, die eigenes
Research betreiben, sollten eigentlich wissen, daß die
derzeitige Ruhe bei Jyra vor allem damit zusammenhängt, daß
ein Großteil des Teams an einem Auftrag arbeitet.

Ich würde daher die derzeitige Situation als Ruhe vor dem
Sturm werten. Wenn Jyra den Auftrag tatsächlich bekommt -
und derzeit deutet einiges darauf hin - dürften die Glocken
schlagen.

Das mit den Umschichtungen in PNWK sehe ich genauso. Man
kann ja davon ausgehen, daß die meisten Jyra-Aktionäre auch
in PNWK investiert sind, da Path 1 schließlich ebenfalls
über LTR in Europa plaziert und "vermarktet" wurde und wird.

Da bei Path 1 der Hype derzeit größer ist und es auch noch
keine größeren Enttäuschungen gab, springen einige bei Jyra
ab und gehen in PNWK rein.

Allerdings sollte man immer bedenken, daß PNWK noch gar
keine Umsätze macht (Jyra hat dagegen welche) und auch das
upfront-payment von Barco nur eine einmalige Zahlung zur
Entwicklung eines Produkts darstellt und somit eher als
Übernahme von Entwicklungskosten zu werten ist.

Regelmäßige und stetige revenues fehlen auch hier. Insofern
hoffe ich, daß die PNWK-Aktionäre auch hier nicht - ähnlich
wie bei Jyra - enttäuscht werden und irgendwann die Geduld
verlieren.

Rein unter Bewertungsaspekten und von der Reife der Technologie
her würde ich derzeit Jyra den Vorzug geben. Allerdings erkennt
das der Markt derzeit nicht und es fehlt einfach der Hype.

Andererseits: Jyra bei 13 Mio. USD - das kann ja wohl nur
ein Witz sein. Der PNWK-Anteil ist alleine USD 3 Mio. wert.

Darüber hinaus hat die Firma strategische Partnerschaften
mit Yipes, RiverSoft, Cisco, PSINet, FrontRunner, Energis,
Vanco,....... alles keine schlechten Namen.

Jyra wird auf jeden Fall nicht von der Bildfläche
verschwinden und sie werden auch definitiv nicht bei 13 Mio
USD bleiben.

@Cenix

Wie lange bist Du denn schon bei Jyra dabei?? Denn:

es gab bei Jyra immer viele Versprechungen und nichts ist
passiert, es gibt schon lange grosse Namen auch veröffentlichte
und nichts ist passiert, Jyra macht Umsätze: irgendeiner
unserer alten Boardteilnehmer beschrieb diese mal so: die
machen weniger Umsatz als die Imbissbude bei ihm um die
Ecke... hat was.
Die Technologie ist sicherlich ok, bzw. das Produkt aber
verkaufen konnten sie das bisher auch nicht!

Path1: renommierte Personen im Board und im Advisory-Board!
Geld von Leitch (mehrjährig) und von Barconet (Geld - als
Jyraaktionär hat man bisher so gut wie nichts von dem ge-
sehen)ausserdem eine kleine Akquisition und mehrere Präsent-
tationen, eine Order über USD 300` usw. jetzt ein anstehender
Nasdaq Gang usw.

Eine von den wenigen Dingen die bei Jyra was wert sind
ist die Beteiligung an Path1 und auch das einzige mit dem
sie bisher nenneswert Geld verdienten.

Checker,

Kurzinfo über mich: bin seit November 1996 in Jyra
investiert und habe Path 1 auch direkt am Tag nach
dem ersten Listing gekauft. In beiden Fällen erhielt ich
die Informationen zu den Unternehmen über LTR Consultancy,
die ja sowohl für Jyra als auch für Path 1 die ersten
private placements in Europa arrangierten.

Aus Path 1 bin ich vor ca. 1,5 Jahren ausgestiegen. Als sich
bereits damals auch bei Jyra abzeichnete, daß nicht alles
wie geplant abläuft, bin ich allgemein mit OTC-Werten
vorsichtiger geworden. Ich bin in Jyra dringeblieben, weil
das ganze Produkt bereits viel reifer als bei PNWK war und
ich der Meinung war, das die ersten Umsätze und somit die
Profitabilität näher seien.

Was die Kursentwicklung anging war dies ganz offensichtlich
die falsche Wahl. Allerdings waren bei Jyra die Erwartungen
auch viel höher aufgehängt. Daher auch der tiefere Fall.

Andererseits ist es Fakt, daß Jyra im Vergleich zu PNWK
tatsächlich das reifere Unternehmen ist. Man hat einfach
Zeit verloren, indem man auf die falsche Vermarktungsstrategie
setzte (Cisco war ein Griff ins Klo, Wiederverkauf über
big Telco ebenfalls). Mittlerweile verfolgt man die richtige
Strategie (Technologiepartnerschaften wie RiverSoft, Savvion;
desweiteren eigene sales force), hat allerdings gute 1,5
Jahre verloren.

Dennoch werden die Umsätze kommen. Würde man weiter auf dem
Niveau der Dorfmetzgerei bleiben, so wäre bestimmt kein
Joop van Kammen eingestiegen, der übrigens auch für Path 1
im Gespräch war. Auch ein Archie Adams als CEO hätte den
Laden bei mangelnder Perspektive eher verkauft oder
zugemacht. Wer ihn kennt, weiß daß er als früherer
Aktienhändler bei einer angesehenen Londonder Investmentbank
nur in Geschäfte investiert, die ihm profit bringen. Er
denkt da eigentlich vergleichsweise sachlich.

Also, nur weil die Jyra-Vorstände angeblich die Aktionäre
um ihr Geld "betrogen" haben, ist der Laden nicht gleich
schlecht. Das Management hat einfach eine Strategie verfolgt
die nicht aufging - das passiert im normalen Geschäftsleben
aber immer wieder (selbst in Großkonzernen). Ich sehe eher das
Problem, daß die Aktionäre teilweise sehr unreif waren, und
das Risiko einer solchen Anlage einfach nicht einschätzen
konnten.

Ich dagegen sehe es sehr positiv, daß das Management nach
dem Tiefschlag des vergangenen Jahres in einem so schlechten
Börsenumfeld den operativen turnaround im Unternehmen
geschafft hat und Jyra wieder erfolgreich im Markt plaziert
hat. Daß man dafür weniger von Jyra in der
Börsen-Öffentlichkeit gehört hat, liegt nur daran, daß das
Unternehmen kapiert hat, daß es nicht durch Versprechungen
gegenüber Investoren, sondern nur durch volle Konzentration
auf das eigene Geschäft besser wird.

Die Ergebnisse wird man meiner Meinung nach in bereits naher
Zukunft sehen. Ich betone, daß es sich um meine Meinung
handelt, d.h. diese basiert rein auf dem von mir selbst
getätigten Research. Was Informationen angeht vertraue ich
im übrigen nicht auf dubiose "zuverlässige" Quellen oder
Mittelsmänner, sondern kontaktiere von Zeit zu Zeit das
Management persönlich.

Wie ich auch betont hatte, sehe ich das Potential bei Jyra
auch durch das im Vergleich zu Path 1 absurd niedrige
Bewertungsniveau. 10 Mio. USD sind ein Scherz.

Allerdings weiß auch Jyra nur gut genug, daß sie die
Investoren nur durch harte Fakten wieder von der Aktie
überzeugen können. Und genau daran arbeiten sie.

Für weiterführende Informationen stehe ich gerne zur
Verfügung.

@Cenix

Als erstes möchte ich bemerken, dass es auch in meinem
Interesse liegen würde wenn uns eine Jyra wieder alte
Kurse bescheren würde.
Deine Informationen die Du aus dem Management beziehst
sind mittlerweile etwas werthaltiger als noch vor 6-
12 Monaten, denn auch da wurden bewusst oder unbewusst
falsche Details gestreut, die der Holländer auch nur
weitertrug (er ist halt stark optimistisch und etwas
vorschnell).
Das Produkt von Jyra halte ich unvermindert für sehr
gut (vom Ansatz her - ich habe es nie live gesehen und
auch noch kein Feedback von Firmen bekommen die die
Möglichkeit hatten dies zu testen). Der Markt für das
Produkt ist ebenfalls da, das sehen wir alle die uns
im Netz bewegen.
Das Jyra das ausgereiftere Produkt usw. hat wie PNWK
halte ich für ein Gerücht, wenn ich mir die Management-
besetzung bei PNWK anschaue und auch einen Herrn A.
Lipper im Advisory Board dazunehme muss ich sagen: die
Aussage ist falsch!
Zeit wurde nicht verloren sondern hochnässig verspielt.

Schauen wir einmal was Jyra in nächster Zeit vorführt
dann werden wir sehen.

Die bessere Hälfte

Schon einige Zeit hören wir von Volks-
wirten und Unternehmenslenkern welt-
weit,die zweite Jahreshälfte werde mit
Blick auf die Konjunktur erfreulicher als
die erste.Die Wirtschaft habe schon
bald die Delle überwunden und nehme
wieder Fahrt auf.Bisher ist allerdings
nur vage geklärt,worauf diese optimisti-
schen Annahmen basieren.
Die Argumente beschränken sich auf die
Zinssenkungen in den Vereinigten Staa-
ten und mögliche Steuersenkungen der
neuen Bush-Regierung.

Die Telekommunikation –eine der
Schlüsselbranchen der New Economy –
präsentiert einige harte Fakten zur
Untermauerung der These auf der CeBIT
2001.Die Branchenvertreter kündigen
ebenfalls eine bessere zweite Hälfte an –
General-Packet-Radio-System (GPRS)sei
Dank.Dem neuen Standard werde mit
Beginn des Sommers der Durchbruch
gelingen,heißt es in den Messehallen.
T-Mobil,D2 Vodafone und Konkurrenten
haben die Netze schon aufgerüstet.
Nokia,Ericsson,Siemens und Co.bringen
in Kürze die passenden Handys auf den
Markt.Kooperationspartner steuern
Software und attraktive Anwendungen
bei.Betriebssystem,Fotobearbeitung,
Lokalisierungsdienste,Börsenticker,
eMails und Spiele sollen dann die Kun-
den anlocken.Ergänzende Technologien
wie Bluetooth machen das mobile Inter-
net komfortabel.
Die Mobilfunker echnen mit mehreren
Millionen GPRS-Nutzern allein in
Deutschland bis Ende des Jahres.Diese
werden dann mit Webpad oder Handheld
durch das WorldWideWeb surfen,oder
mit dem Webradio durch virtuelle
Klangwelten rauschen.
Die Aussteller zeigen durchaus interes-
sante neue Produkte,die leicht zu
bedienen sind und Möglichkeiten bie-
ten,die Laune machen.Das lahme grau
in grau der WAP-Seiten ist nur noch ein
kleiner Ausschnitt des Angebots.
Die Telekom-Aktien profitieren von den
Vorführungen auf der CeBIT.Was jetzt
noch aussteht,ist der Beleg,dass mit
neuen Anwendungen auch neue Um-
sätze sprudeln.Ist der Musikfan bereit,
für die Anbindung des Webradios ans
Internet zu zahlen,nur um mehr Kanäle
zur Auswahl zu haben?Akzeptiert der
Telefonkunde eine deutlich höhere Mo-
natsrechnung wegen der neuen Dienste?
Falls ja,könnte auch die Diskussion um
UMTS eine Wende nehmen und die
Chancen in den Vordergrund rücken.
Falls nicht,werden die Geschäftsmodelle
der Telekomanbieter scheitern.Die zwei-
te Jahreshälfte wird die weitere
Richtung weisen.

In diesem Sinne viel Erfolg
Ihr
Daniel Evensen

klingelt`s ?

[gourmet]

villeicht noch ein nachtrag: als letztes jahr wap bei der cebit vorgeführt wurde hat es nicht funktioniert, weil die netze zu überlastet waren. dieses jahr heißt die technik gprs, aber funktioniert hat sie ebenfalls mehr nach dem zufallsprinzip, da die netze - welch wunder - überlastet waren.
sollte gprs etwa abermals am gleichen problem scheitern ? dann können sie umts gleich einstampfen, denn bis dahin sind die netze immer noch überlastet.
das datenvolumen im internet verdoppelt sich im moment alle 3-4 monate !

[Antarius]

zur Erinnerung:

"Bekanntlich hat Jyra seinen Fokus auf Service Provider und
Telekommunikationsunternehmen gerichtet. In diesem Zusammen-
hang bitte ich die Aufmerksamkeit insbesondere auf Jyra`s
Press Release vom 21.03.00 ("Jyra Goes Mobile") zu richten.
Darin verkündet Jyra, daß man in der Lage ist mobile Netze
unter dem GPRS-Standard zu überwachen. Bekanntlich ist VIAG
Interkom gerade dabei, als erster Anbieter in Deutschland
GPRS einzuführen, um dem mobilen Internet zum Durchbruch zu
verhelfen. Weder Micromuse, noch Riversoft, noch Keynote
sind derzeit in der Lage mobile Netze zu monitoren. "

[Cenix]

Danke für die Erinnerung!

Noch ein Gedanke: VIAG Interkom gehört übrigens mittlerweile
zu einem britischen Telekommunikationskonzern. Vielleicht
erhöht das ja die Chancen von Jyra mit dieser Adresse ins
Geschäft zu kommen. Die Briten sind ja zuweilen ziemlich
eigenartig und machen am liebsten mit ihresgleichen
Geschäfte.

Die bids/asks ziehen haben heute bereits vorbörslich
angezogen, obwohl keine konkrete News vorlagen. Irgend-
jemand versucht eine größere Tranche zu kaufen. Warum?

[Antarius]

Schon "interessant", was sich da so einige einfallen lassen:
mal eben eine ID zum Posten geholt (somesa 29.03.01 23:03:02 )und dann ein "Techie-Geschwafel" hingeworfen, ohne Angaben von Quellen. Na ja versteh ja eh keiner, aber (angeblich) er selbst:
"Seriös" b.z.w. ernsthaft wäre es ja, sich mal hier auf dem registrierten Board einzufinden und wirklich sachlich zu diskutieren. Aber, dass kennen wir ja zur Genüge vom Path1 wallstreet- und den P1- und Jyra- us-ragingbull- boards: Eintagsfliegen IDs, so schnell sie kommen so gingen sie auch eben wieder b.z.w. "es ward nie wieder was von ihnen gehört".
Schaut man sich das Path1 board "von außen betrachtet" mit einem klaren Kopf an, bleibt einem bezüglich der angebl. sachlichen "Diskussion und Info" nur staunendes b.z.w. ungläubiges Kopfschütteln.
Vom Blickpunkt einer psychologischen Betrachtungsweise her äußerst interessant und "lehrreich" mit welchen "Spielen" (der Erwachsenen) hier nur so um sich geworfen wird. Ein Spiel lautet: "alles Mist was Du sagst, ich aber weiß es (besser) genauso wie mein Kumpel X, nur wir sagen es Euch nicht, weil Ihr es nicht wert seid".
MEIN GOTT WALTER! bitte schauen Sie sich diese Boards an, hier können Sie echte Feldstudien betreiben, wie es geht, eben das . . . wie man sich belügt, gegenseitig verklappst und betrügt. (Ich weiß schon, Jungs, hinter der Taxoseite, wo nach Kräften Path1 und Jyra auf Teufel komm raus gepushed wurde, stehen (standen) einige "unserer Landsleute" - sind ja nicht nur die dutchs an allen dran allein beteiligt, die connection macht`s auch; Motto: im Verbund läßt sich besser (ab)zocken).
Auch interessant wie da mal so eben "zufällig" einige "alte Boardkollegen" auftauchen oder sind es nur die anderen IDs, die aus den Schubladen geholt werden . . . zur Show einer Scheindiskussion (mit sich selbst)?
Da bin aber mal sehr gespannt wie sich "dort drüben" die "sachliche Diskussion" über die Technik von Jyras SMA entwickeln wird, oder sollte ich tatsächlich unverhofft überrascht werden, dass man sich hier auf dem Board der vollregistrierten Teilnehmer von Wallstreet-online einfinden wird?

Bitte meinen Herren leisten Sie uns "Mutigen"("vollregistrierte User" )hier doch mal Gesellschaft!
Ich bin schon ganz "Ohr" mal mit Ihnen über die "7 layers" speziell über "layer 2" u. "layer3" als auch über GPRS zu diskutieren.
Ist nun Keynote ein b.z.w. der entscheidenen Konkurrent oder eher Mercury oder . . .?
Wie interpretieren Sie den Kursverfall von KEYN auf nun knapp über 10$ !!? (nach dem alltime high von 177 $!!), wo doch KEYN 1300 Kunden hat und dazu noch soooo viele bekannte Namen wie Microsoft, Cisco und all die anderen Giganten!
Wie sehen Sie die Stellung von Micromuse zu Jyra besonders in dem Zusammenhang, dass sich Cisco letztendlich nicht für Muse entschieden hat sondern für Riversoft ( "RIVERSOFT ANNOUNCES OEM AGREEMENT WITH CISCO FOR 2.5G AND 3G MOBILE WIRELESS MANAGEMENT " ), damit für Riversofts "bundle of solutions" ("Cisco to integrate RiverSoft`s Fault Manager software into future mobile wireless management solutions "), das Jyras SMA beinhaltet.
Ist der Kurseinbruch von Muse um 50 % (nach dem letzten Split) auf diese Entscheidung und andere "Signale" zurückzuführen oder hat es allein etwas mit der "allgemeinen schlechten Lage des gesamten Technologiemarktes" zu tun ?
Wie sehen Sie die Situation, dass angesichts der Tatsache, dass die Mobilfunkbranche - gerade jetzt nach Einschätzungen in Folge der CEBIT - mit dem entwickelten und zu integrierenden Stardard GPRS, speziell die "großen Serviceprovider", die Mobilfunk- Service angebieten, jetzt (ver)besser(t)e Softwarelösungen und besseren Service für ihre (zukünftigen) Kunden anbieten müssen(!), wozu auch zur Vermeidung von längeren Wartezeiten b.z.w. Datenstaus in den viel gepriesenen UMTS Netzen auch das "montitoring" gehört!
Wie sehen Sie die Tatsache, dass im GPRS Bereich Jyras Produkt dazu in der Lage ist, aber nicht Keynote als auch Micromuse(`s allience) !!?

Bezüglich den oben angeführten Diskussionspunken dazu noch ein Hinweis auf eine Pressemitteilung.
Ich schlage vor, sie genauestens zu lesen, um anschliessend darüber b.z.w. über die möglichen erheblichen Folgen auf den hier angesprochenen gesamten Telekommmunikationssektors besonders des Mobilfunksektors zu diskutieren. Dies in ganz besonderer Hinsicht in Zusammenhang zu Jyra!

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
CeBIT buys brief reprieve for telecoms sector
By Tony Glover
Tue 27 Mar 2001

LONDON (SHARECAST) - General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) has finally arrived - or has it?
That is the problem telecoms analysts attending CeBIT, the world`s largest technology
show that is held in Germany each year, will ponder as they queue for their flights home
from Hanover airport this evening.


A couple of weeks ago, operators such as BT and Vodafone
complained that it was a lack of GPRS handsets that was
delaying the long-awaited arrival of GPRS`s "always-on"
high-speed internet links for mobile phones. Everyone at
CeBIT is now convinced that handset availability is no
longer an issue.

Manufacturers including Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, Siemens
and Motorola showed sleek new GPRS handsets. Motorola
unveiled a range of GPRS handsets designed for each of the
five main user groups and says it will include GPRS capability
as a standard feature in all its phones.

But with handsets available there are two additional
questions. The first concerns the state of the GPRS
networks. At the moment the main UK operators appear to
contradict themselves by saying that the networks are up
and running but adding that they are still being tested.
However, as GPRS only involves a software upgrade to
existing cellular networks base stations, these teething
troubles should soon be over with.

. . .
. . .

Bezüglich der Aussagen des "Experten" auf dem anderen Jyraboard möchte ich die Meinung von jemanden hier wiedergeben, die ich heute per Email erhalten habe:


"Und was Jyra als seriöser Verhandlungspartner angeht: Warum wird Jyra von Cisco akzeptiert, warum von RiverSoft, von Yipes, von Vanco, von BAA, von Siemens, von Tele Danmark, von Orange,....? Bestimmt nicht weil die Firmen so klein sind und es nicht besser wissen. Zur erwähnten HP Openview-Gemeinde zählt übrigens auch RiverSoft. Und die haben Jyra im Gepäck. Also wo liegt das Problem? Ich sehe es jedenfalls nicht."

Also,
auch hierüber können wir auch auch mal dikutieren!

Wir freuen uns schon auf eine lebhaften und sachliche Diskussion mit Ihnen hier. Auf denn!


Antarius


P.S.:
Meiner Einschätzung und Information nach können wir die Quartalszahlen ab Montagnachmittag erwarten.
Ich erwarte von den Zahlen als auch von einer event. (wie gehabt) seperaten Pressemitteilung zu den "Aussichten für die weitere Zukunft" nichts Umwerfendes.
Sollte allerdings demnächst die Pressemitteilung kommen, die den Abschluß mit einem - meiner "Vermutung" nach - sehr bedeutenden Telekommunikations- und (Mobilfunk-)Serviceproviders beinhaltet, dann
wird es einen riesengroßen Knall geben und "einiges - auch bei den "Experten" -zu Staub zerfallen" . . .
Um wen es sich dabei handeln könnte ist nicht ungemein schwer einzuschätzen,
man braucht nur den "gemeinsamen Nenner" nehmen, der in vielen der hier auf dem Board geposteten Pressemitteilungen der verschiedenen companies enthalten ist! Stichwort: GPRS

[gourmet]

was mir im moment jedoch ganz und gar nicht gefällt ist, daß jyra es nicht geschafft hat, bis ende märz ihren jahresabschluß / ihr quartalergebnis zu veröffentlichen. mal sehen, ob dies vor börseneröffnung heute passiert.
viele grüße
gourmet

[gourmet]

aber lt. telefonat mit jyra soll das filing heute kommen

[Cenix]

Das filing kommt heute und es gibt Gründe, warum es erst
heute kommt (ist übrigens immer noch in der offiziellen
Frist - man muß nach Handelsschluß des letzten Handelstages
veröffentlichen, und das ist nach SEC-Regeln vor Beginn
des nächsten Handelstages).

Cenix

[gourmet]

das filing ist da:
- 258.000 revenue in q4
- eine menge shares zu 0.75 verkauft
- kleinere position in path 1 verkauft
- prognose 2001 - na ja
aber am besten ihr lest es euch selbst durch (ich habe es selbst erst überflogen)

[Cenix]

"During the first quarter of 2001 the new sales team and strategy has provided
the strongest quarter in the company`s history. Average order value and the
quality of customers have both strengthened, with the result that management
are looking forward to continued exciting sales activity during the remainder
of 2001."

[gourmet]

tja, das glas ist halb voll oder halb leer (je nach sichtweise). klar positiv die entwicklung (yipes und baa). q1 wird > 430.000 $ sein und das ist ja auch schon mal was.
problem ist (und das ist nicht einmal so jyra-spezifisch, sondern betrifft fast den kompletten tech-sektor), daß auch im jahr 2001 nur schwer die gewinnzone zu erreichen sein wird und weiterhin geld benötigt wird. und da schmerzt es schon, wenn jyra shares zu schleuderpreisen oder teile des notgroschens (path1) verkaufen muß.
alles in allem stehe ich jyra positiv entgegen, sehe jedoch einen steinigen weg in 2001 der sich nur durch weitere großkunden (und darauf hoffen wir ja alle) glätten läßt.
viele grüße
gourmet

[Cenix]

gourmet,

Ich denke auch, daß wir jetzt genau in der gleichen Situation
wie vor exakt einem Jahr sind: erstes Quartal auf Rekord-Niveau
und was nun? Ich denke es liegt ganz allein an Jyra und ich
bin beruhigt, daß das erste Quartal trotz der schlechten Stimmung
an den Börsen und der negativen Konjunkturaussichten so gut
lief. Während andere Unternehmen im 2-Wochentakt Gewinnwarnungen
vorlegen, ist es sehr positiv zu werten, daß Jyra sich hiervon
nicht betroffen sieht und die Aussichten für 2001 sehr gut sind.

Wir kommen jetzt wohl wieder in eine typische Situation: Bei
schlechter Konjunktur laufen die kleinen Nebenwerte deutlich
besser als die bekannten Standardwerte, da die Kleinen eine
wesentliche niedrigere Ausgangsbasis haben und somit leichter
Wachstum erreichen können, während die Großen es schwer haben
ihre Marktanteile zu verteidigen.

Warten wir auf die nächsten Meldungen und auf Rienk Kamer`s Meinung.
Die angelaufenen Marketing-Maßnahmen und die geplante weitere
Verstärkung des Sales-Teams sind allesamt positiv zu bewerten.
Und Jyra weiß genau wie es vor exakt einem Jahr war: Ich denke
daß Archie Adams sich nicht noch einmal die Blöße gibt und
nach einem Rekordquartal im positiven Sinne ein Rekordquartal im
negativen Sinne hinlegt.

Daß Path 1-Anteile verscherbelt werden ist zwar für PNWK-Aktionäre
nicht so toll, für Jyra aber um so besser. So ist man zumindest
ein gutes Jahr auch ohne Kapitalmarktzugang liquiditätsmäßig
abgesichert. Zwar verliert man das Potential aus Kursgewinnen,
doch darauf basiert das Unternehmen ja ohnehin nicht.

Da keine negativen, sondern nur positive News im 10-K waren,
gehe ich davon aus, daß der Kurs zunächst nach unten abgesichert
ist. Was nach oben kommt liegt jetzt in der Macht von Jyra.

Ich bin bereit.

Cenix

[gourmet]

@cenix: was das ergenis und die q1-prognose anbelangt stehen wir (denke ich) sogar besser da. das q1-ergebnis in 2000 war mehr das resultat eines überhangs aus dem (ganz üblen q4 1999) und davon gehe ich dieses quartal (gefühlmäßig) nicht aus.
und was die vorzüge der kleinen gegenüber den großen anbelangt stimme ich die voll zu (sofern sie das produkt zum überleben haben). ich denke ariba, brokat etc. müssen sich um moment mehr sorgen um das überleben in 2001 machen wie jyra, denn da geht es nicht um ein paar milliönchen finanzierungsbedarf. dennoch darf es keinen rückfall (schlechte ergebnisse) bei jyra geben.
viele grüße
gourmet

[Cenix]

@gourmet

Was künftige Ergebnisse angeht, stimme ich Dir ebenfalls
voll zu. Jyra muß jetzt schon eine Serie von guten Quartalen
hinlegen. Enttäuschungen haben wir schon zu viele erlebt und
Jyra ist letztlich keine Katze mit sieben Leben.

Entweder die Jungs packen es jetzt oder sie können den Laden
verkaufen. Ich tendiere zu ersterem.

Path1) Aktien, da "schippern wir deutschen Kleinanleger" sozusagen in "Nußschalen" zwischen "Ozeanriesen" zwischen rum, wenn Kamer mal zum "sell" blasen würde dann gute Nacht b.z.w. ca o,1 $,
hat er aber nicht!
er sieht Jyra sehr positiv, kommt sicher nicht von ungefähr, er kriegt bestimmt so seine Infos was läuft b.z.w. laufen wird - man`s kann`s auch umgekehrt sehen, Jyra hängt ja auch "irgendwie" am Tropf der holländischen Investoren . . .
Anbei die Übersetzung meiner connection vom Holländischen ins Englischen mit Bitte um Nachsicht bei nicht 100%igem Englisch:

"After a detailed conversation with the new CEO Archie Adams my conclusion is that the company has found his way up; a movement upon which we have waited in the past months with extreme patience and at the end the deliverance of ultimatums.
Whilst the now reported results from last year of course are of little importance (we knew that things were going bad), we can put the case that the first quarter of this year is financially the most succesfull of the Jyra-history.
A handicap of thorough conversations with the management of an official on the Stock-Exchange listed company is that I may not publish a big number of details before the company herself has made those details public towards the Stoch-Exchange and the stockholders.
None the less we can conclude from the qualification about last quarter that sales must be more than half a million dollar and (a) big prospect(s) must have been brought in.
Awaiting the consent from the involved parties (in case of bigger companies sometimes a long lasting process) Jyra expects to make some announcements in the coming weeks about some important orders from important (I mean prestigious) prospects, which at this moment are final.
Farther a cooperation has been agreed with some big distribution-companies (one of them is listed on the Stock-Exchange). Previous mentioned "Arbeitsgeschafte" don`t mean much anymore, except for these with Riversoft and Yipes.
The new sales-force therefore is at work and has made - after warming up the last months - some good deals. Also in relation to some important "follow through order". At Jyra one is working on a qualitative expansion of the sales-force."

Nokia closes EUR 1.5 billion 3G deal with Orange – provides UMTS networks to Orange, France Telecom Group, in France,
the UK and Germany

(April 03, 2001) Reinforces Nokia`s 3G leadership position

Orange, one of the world’s largest mobile operators, owned by France Telecom, has selected Nokia as the major supplier of its advanced 3G networks for Itineris in France and Orange in the UK. At the same time, the 28% Orange-owned MobilCom has chosen Nokia as a supplier for its 3G network in Germany.

The companies have signed Letter of Intent agreements, with a total estimated value of € 1.5 billion. These groundbreaking agreements further strengthen Nokia`s position as a leading global 3G system supplier.
. . .
"Orange is a pacesetter in the telecommunications industry and we have already taken the lead in the development of the mobile Internet market in Europe.
. . .

Notes to Editors:
3G is also known in Europe as UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. 3G is the future of mobile communications and in Nokia`s vision, IP-based technologies will eventually form the core of the future mobile network. Nokia`s GSM/UMTS system will gradually evolve to an all-IP system, having 3G GPRSnetwork elements as its base.

The 3G system will complement the existing GSM system, not replace it. It will be the vehicle that provides wireless access to multimedia services, and a way to provide more voice capacity, or a mixture of voice and multimedia services.

Orange?, war da nicht mal was . . .?

Nochmal ein paar abschließende Statements zum 10-K:

Die Informationen über das Geschäftsjahr 2000 sind
uninteressant, da im wesentlichen bereits bekannt.

Das 1. Quartal 2001 lag also auf jeden Fall über USD 435.000
Umsatz. Das ist m.E. sehr gut, wenn man bedenkt, daß alleine
4 der 11 Sales-Leute fast das ganze Quartal nur an einem
einzigen Kunden dran war. Dieser Auftrag soll wohl bereits
in trockenen Tüchern sein. Offen bleibt, ob Teile des Auftrags
bereits im 1. Quartal verbucht wurden und wie weit man den
Umsatz aus dem 1. Quartal 2000 übertroffen hat. Sollte
der große Auftrag noch nicht im 1. Quartal berücksichtigt
sein, wäre das positiv. Man hätte ein Rekordquartal mit
anderen Kunden hingelegt und einen Großauftrag als Polster
für die nächsten Quartale in der Tasche. Das gäbe
Kalkulationssicherheit.

Sehr gut auch, daß rd. USD 350.000 Umsatz alleine in den USA
gemacht wurden. Yipes scheint hier wirklich gut einzuschlagen.
Über Folgeaufträge (repeat business) kann man sich hier gut
etablieren.

Positiv ist, daß im März mit einer größeren
Marketing-Kampagne begonnen wurde. Sowohl mittels
Telefonmarketing als auch Direktmarketing werden Unternehmen
angesprochen; daneben wird ein offizielles Partner-Programm
für die channel sales aufgebaut.

Den Hinweis, daß man den Vertrieb weiter deutlich aufstocken
will und daß die Vertriebsaktivitäten noch in den Kinderschuhen
stecken, werte ich positiv. Es ist noch einiges zu erwarten
(muß auch). Ohne Zahlen zu nennen, hat man ja die Erwartungen
für 2001 hoch gesteckt.

Positiv ist auch, daß Joop van Kammen 45.000 Aktien über
Optionen beziehen kann. Meines Ermessens müsste man ihn noch
stärker über Anteile an das Unternehmen binden.

Der Verkauf von Path 1-Anteilen ist schlecht für
PNWK-Aktionäre (sorry), zeigt aber, daß Archie keine Lust
hat Aktien zu 0,75 USD zu verkaufen. Der Druck auf ihm, den
Aktienkurs auf ein erträgliches Niveau zu bringen wird
dadurch höher, denn Geld von außen wird Jyra auch trotz
steigender Umsätze brauchen. Dennoch ist über die
PNWK-Anteile sichergestellt, daß Jyra mindestens 1 Jahr
auch ohne weitere private placements weitermachen kann.

Alles in allem läßt sich festhalten: Wir sind genau in der
gleichen Situation wie vor einem Jahr. Sehr gutes erstes
Quartal, das zumindest einen Anfang darstellt. Allerdings
müssen die Zahlen jetzt von Quartal zu Quartal
weitergesteigert werden. Daß Jyra in der Lage ist ein gutes
Quartal hinzulegen, hat man auch bereits vorher gewußt.
Spätestens wenn sich abzeichnet, daß das 2. Quartal genauso
gut oder besser als das erste wird, werden die Leute wieder
auf den Zug aufspringen. Eine PR zu dem in Rede stehenden
Großauftrag könnte der erste Schritt in diese Richtung sein.

( BW)(CA-VIAWEST/RIVERSOFT)(RSFT.L) ViaWest Boosts Network Reliability with RiverSoft`s Network Management Technology; ISP Implements RiverSoft to Enhance Network Availability and Customer Service


Business Editors

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2001--RiverSoft (LSE: RSFT.L), a leading provider of Internet Protocol (IP) network management solutions, and ViaWest Internet Services Inc., a Denver-based Internet communications and data center technology
provider, today announced that ViaWest has deployed RiverSoft network management tools to map, monitor and manage its regional backbone network.
ViaWest implemented RiverSoft`s technology to enhance their network`s reliability and availability through RiverSoft`s network monitoring, issue notification and problem pinpointing tools.
"As an Internet communications provider, our network is our business. Any network downtime affects us and our customers dramatically," said Roy Dimoff, president and CEO of ViaWest. "RiverSoft management tools have increased our network efficiency. Their 24 X 7 network monitoring and updating has helped us achieve our goals of constant connectivity and superior service."
RiverSoft solutions help ViaWest reduce network maintenance and troubleshooting costs by simplifying management tasks and ensuring the company can continue to deliver high network availability and high service levels. RiverSoft products automatically identify and isolate
network problems, enabling ViaWest to quickly respond to market demands. This is important for ViaWest not only because the company faces rapidly increasing demands for bandwidth and connectivity from technology-dependent customers but also because ViaWest`s network is becoming more complex and larger over time.
"RiverSoft`s selection by ViaWest clearly states the value RiverSoft delivers to service providers seeking state-of-the-art solutions that increases both network availability and IT staff productivity," said Gary Read, vice president of marketing, RiverSoft. "RiverSoft solutions will allow ViaWest to secure and expand their market position by delivering a product that minimizes network failures, assuring maximum network availability."

Profit Partner

According to a recent study by Cahners In-Stat, the number of service providers will rise from 5,775 in 1999 to 14,250 in 2004. As competition grows, RiverSoft will prove to be an ideal partner for service-minded companies like ViaWest that must maintain competitive advantage in terms of customer service levels and network availability. RiverSoft`s cost-efficient and reliable network management solution accommodates the rapid growth and network evolution associated with service providers, allowing them to concentrate on their core competencies and maintain a competitive position in this rapidly growing market.

Nach"lese" von mir zum Jahresreport;
Thema: Konkurrenz - sollte man sich ja auch mal schwarz auf weiß genau anschauen (und damit mal klar ist, wer die Konkurrenz ist b.z.w. sein könnte):

<PAGE>
WE FACE GROWING GLOBAL COMPETITION WHICH COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO ACQUIRE AND RETAIN CUSTOMERS.

The market for Internet performance measurement and diagnostic services is new and rapidly evolving. The global nature of the Internet makes it easier for existing and new competitors to become visible to our customers and prospects.
We expect competition in this market to intensify in the future. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services that they offer. Our primary business is the supply of enterprise-scale solutions to corporates and to network operators. Our primary competitors are the Netcare division of Lucent (previously known as INS InSoft), and Hewlett-Packard. Other competitors include Computer Associates, BMC, Compuware, Concord, Keynote, and Micromuse. The company also may experience competition from niche suppliers such as Freshwater, NetScout, NetIQ, Inverse Network Technology, Mercury Interactive, and Segue Software.

Some of our competitors have, and our future competitors may have:

longer operating histories;
larger customer bases;
greater brand recognition in similar businesses; and
significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other
resources.


In addition, some of our competitors may be able to:

devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns;
adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and
devote more resources to technology and systems development.

For our service provider hosted on-line web monitoring service business, we compete against a wide range of consultancy and service offerings, including WebCriteria, KeyNote, MIDS MatrixIQ Service and free services such as the Web Site Garage unit of Netscape, NetMechanic and Internet Weather Report. While the services may not be as comprehensive or complete as ours, and they may have less flexibility in reporting than we do, customers could still choose to use these services.

We also suffer indirect competition from increased competition and investment in network capacity. Customers may choose to spend more on additional capacity rather than better management of the existing capacity.

We suffer indirect competition from suppliers that offer to control or shape the network traffic on all or part of the network.(b] Customers may choose to believe that expenditure solely on control rather than independent measurement is an adequate solution.[/b]

Keynote warns on earnings, sets staff cuts

(UPDATE: Recasts, adds comments from company, changes dateline pvs San Mateo)

By Andrea Orr

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 3 (Reuters) - Keynote Systems Inc.(NasdaqNM:KEYN - news), which monitors Web sites` performance and enjoyed a burst of demand during the Internet heyday, warned on Tuesday it would report lower-than-expected second-quarter earnings and would cut 13 percent of its work force.
The San Mateo, Calif. company said results had suffered partly because of its high-exposure to dot-com companies, many which have gone out of business or slashed discretionary spending.
It said it expects to report second-quarter pro forma net income of $1.6 million to $1.9 million or 6 cents to 7 cents per diluted share, which would below than the consensus analyst estimate of 9 cents per share. It expects second-quarter revenue between $12 million and $12.2 million, slightly below the $12.4 million to $12.6 million previously forecast.
The company is also planning to take a charge of about $300,000 in its June quarter, related to severance costs.
Excluding the charge, the company said it expected to break even in the third quarter on revenues of $11 million to $11.5 million.
In a conference call with analysts on Tuesday, Keynote said it was seeing a decline in revenue from the dot-com sector, which at one point had represented 35 percent of its revenue base. The company said that portion had shrunk to 26 percent and may have to be reduced further.
Keynote maintains offices in 120 locations around the world, at which it regularly logs onto different Web sites and times how long it takes to get onto different pages. It also alerts companies about performance problems in remote regions, and produces data that is widely watched on major news days that produce a crush of Web traffic..
During the conference call, Chairman and Chief Executive Umang Gupta said Keynote say little competition from other monitoring companies and continued to get strong feedback about its services. But he said the company might have to switch from a flat-fee billing model to one that would charge customers based on how often they used the service.
``The question is, are there ways we can change our pricing that are not onerous to our customers, that will not actually turn people off,`` Gupta said.
Keynote stock, which once topped $162 a share, closed trading Tuesday down 7/16 to 10-3/4 and were quoted around $9-1/5 in after-hours trade, following the release of the earnings warning.


Top: 162 us$ !, aber den Mund voll nehmen:
"Keynote say little competition from other monitoring companies."

Keynote Systems, Inc.
NASDAQ: KEYN $10.75
Long-Term Attractive
F2001E EPS: $0.19, down from $0.41

Richard Juarez, eCommerce Infrastructure Services
“Keynote Systems announced that its FY 2Q01 results will fall short of expectations,” said Juarez. “The company also lowered its outlook for FY 3Q01. The company plans to reduce headcount by approximately 13% or 36 staff. The move is anticipated to provide annual run rate savings of approximately 10% to 12% on operating expenses, or $4.0 million to $4.5 million. Keynote will take a one-time charge of approximately $300,000 in FY3Q01 (June) to cover severance costs. We believe that the company will likely experience reduced demand for its services over the next several quarters as dotcoms continue to evaporate and enterprises rein in expenses and cut expenditures on URL measurement. FY 2Q01 revenue from dotcoms and ISPs is estimated at 26% of total revenue, down from 35% in FY 1Q01. We believe and the company confirmed that it expects continued customer and revenues losses from dotcoms. We are reducing our FY01 revenue estimate from $51.7 million to $47.4 million, and lowering our FY01 EPS estimate from $0.41 to $0.19. We believe that over the next two quarters the company will consume approximately $10 million to $13 million of its current cash balance of approximately $342.0 million. We believe the company’s cash is sufficient to enable them to reach operating profit in approximately FY 2Q03, two quarters later than our previous estimate. We are maintaining our Long-Term Attractive rating based upon the company’s net cash position of an estimated $11.80 per share at March 31st, 2001. To gain back investors’ attention and support, we believe that Keynote must 1) reverse the declines in customers, URLs measured, and revenue/URL, 2) pull forward operational profitability via more effective expense management, and 3) leverage and deploy its cash reserves more effectively.”


Sicher, KEYN ist in der Hinsicht (was deren bereits enormen Umsätze anbelangt) nicht zu vergleichen,
aber KEYN muß seine Gewinnerwartungen (auch auf Grund, dass etliche der dotcoms mit "Muttertags"webseiten Messung einfach pleite sind) zurückschrauben,
Jyra steht am Anfang,
in der Erwartung, dass es nun entgültig - erstmal - einige Quartale nur aufwärts geht!

Press Release - 3rd May 2001

Jyra`s Mobile Service Management Solution (SMS Mobile) Wins Corporate Licence Contract at BT Cellnet

BT Cellnet selects Jyra`s Mobile Service Management Solution (SMS Mobile) as the Monitoring Solution for its Service Management Program

London, UK - 3rd May 2001: Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a leading provider of performance management solutions today announces its Mobile Service Management Solution (SMS Mobile) has been chosen as the Service performance and availability monitor for BT Cellnet.
Jyra is now being developed as an integral part of the wireless GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) services offered by BT Cellnet.

Jyra SMS Mobile was selected because of its ability to measure the performance of mobile services from end-to-end and provide accurate reporting and real-time monitoring. Jyra SMS Mobile proved to be an effective solution in the mobile performance monitoring space, able to measure the performance of WAP and other advanced data services.

Incorporating Jyra`s SMS Mobile technology into its Service Management Program is assisting BT Cellnet in assuring higher quality data applications for it`s customers. The BT Cellnet Service Management Program is an initiative for advanced monitoring and management of converged wireless services. This is enabling BT Cellnet to offer a higher service quality to it`s customers when using both existing and future services.

Innovation and industry leading services means that over 11.2 million people are now using BT Cellnet to stay in touch. The BT Cellnet network handles over 30 million calls a day and covers 99% of the UK population.

BT Cellnet is forging the way ahead for GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and 3rd generation services; it was the first to bring the mobile internet to customers and to make the first GPRS data transfer call over a live GSM network. BT Cellnet is excited about the power of GPRS. It is a big technological leap in the delivery of a new generation of mobile Internet applications such as news, share prices and full email and electronic diary access and paves the way for 3G services.

"We are delighted to be a supplier and to have formed a distinctive commercial relationship with BT Cellnet, especially at a stage in the market place when Mobile Internet is becoming a reality for corporate users". Mr Peter Lynch continued: " BT Cellnet and Jyra are demonstrating a commitment to work together to deliver superior GPRS and Mobile data and Internet solutions in a number of market sectors".

und der Kurs reagiert überhaupt nicht, obwohl der Deal durchaus endlich mal ordentliche Umsätze versprechen könnte.
Aber wieso sollte er auch sprunghaft nach oben gehen? Erstens ist es wieder eine der Jyra-typischen PRs aus denen wieder einmal gar nicht hervorgeht, wieviel Umsätze damit gemacht werden und zweitens kennt der leidgeplagte Jyraaktionär solche PRs ja (leider) zu Genüge: MCI, Cisco, PSINet etc. . . . haben (so gut wie) keine Umsätze gebracht.
Warum sollte der Aktionär glauben, daß es jetzt endlich die erhofften Umsätze bringt?

Dazu sei noch gesagt, dass man die ganze G3 b.z.w. UMTS Story für nicht risikolos halten sollte:
Die großen Telcos, die sich durch die Erwerbung der Linzenzen hoch verschuldet haben (France Telecom mit ca 72 Mill. € an der Spitze der Verschuldeten!) gehen ein hohes Risiko ein, die Banken sind nicht mehr bereit ihnen weitere Kredite zu gewähren, doch Firmen wie Nokia und Ericson sind bereit ihnen mit Kredite zu helfen, damit sie in der Lage sind ihre Netze weiter auf den neuen Standard (G3 u. UMTS) auszubauen - natürlich, weil sie ja auch ihr Produkt des neuen UMTS-Handys verkaufen wollen. Damit begeben sich selbst diese großen Telcos in das Risiko selbst Übernahmekandidaten zu werden!

"Nortel is providing 3G infrastructure for British Telecom. So far, the debt-laden operator
has resisted going to Nortel for vendor financing. But as the costs of rolling out 3G
escalate and BT finds it has to pay at least as much again to build its 3G as it did to buy
the licences (£10bn), it may find it hard to raise the cash. Given BT’s imminent debt level of
£32bn and the banks’ reluctance to lend more money to operators to spend on 3G,
vendor financing may be its only option."

TELECOM REPORT

Being first isn`t always being best
High-tech pioneers tend to experience high casualty rate

By Jeffry Bartash, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 4:54 PM ET May 1, 2001

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - The race, it seems, isn`t always to the swift. One look at the turmoil in the Internet and telecommunications industries ought to make that clear.

These days, it`s hard to avoid stepping on the bodies of the dead, dying and severely wounded on the high-tech battlefield, littered as it is with failed startups and onetime high-flyers. NorthPoint Communications, Winstar Communications, ICG Communications, PSINet (PSIX: news, msgs, alerts) , Teligent (TGNT: news, msgs, alerts) , Pets.com, eToys. The list goes on and on.

What all these companies had in common was the hell-bent desire to be the first to their markets, all of which were new and largely untested. The companies were certain their businesses held a large reservoir of untapped potential. All they had to do was draw it out.

In a rush to be first, many of these companies raised and spent huge sums on money to lure talented workers, build infrastructure and distribution channels, and market their services to customers. The old method of building a business slowly, one market at a time, matching costs to revenue, was tossed aside.

Many high-tech executives, in short, paid enormous sums up front, all for an uncertain reward to be reeled in years later. Naturally, when those rewards failed to materialize as quickly as finicky investors had hoped, they bailed out. Take a big balloon, blow it up and let it go - and you get a picture of what happened to many "New Economy" stocks.

The lesson: Being first isn`t always best.

Tortoise and hare

The mantra of being first to the market is an old one, but it always finds new life even though it seldom guarantees success (Just look at AT&T (T: news, msgs, alerts) ).

Most recently, the wireless sector had been caught up in a race to see which companies would be the first to roll out high-speed Internet service, the so-called Third Generation of wireless communications.

In Europe, companies last year spent an unfathomable $115 billion to buy wireless licenses in government auctions. Now those very same companies, such as Continental giants British Telecom (BTY: news, msgs, alerts) and Deutsche Telekom (DT: news, msgs, alerts) , are struggling like Atlas under the weight of enormous debt.

At the time of the auctions, the exorbitant prices almost made sense. After all, market research
firms were predicting tens of billions in wireless Internet revenue within a few years, and here was a chance for European companies to seize control of a market in which the U.S. lagged behind. Call it the "build it and they will come" strategy.

As it turns out, 3G technology was not quite ready for prime time, market research firms are now scaling back their predictions and companies have little idea as to how they will generate the revenue to offset the billions of dollars required to build out their high-speed wireless networks.

Just last week, a debt-saddled British Telecom basically begged the British government to return some of the money it shelled out for U.K. licenses (it spent nearly $15 billion in U.K. and German auctions combined).

The British government said no, but Reed Hundt, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, believes European governments will ultimately have no choice but to bail out carriers that overspent.

"Nothing was more obviously stupid than the prices paid for 3G licenses in Europe," he said at a conference in Washington recently.

In the U.S., meanwhile, carriers that were once seen as falling behind in the wireless Internet race are now credited with resisting the urge to splurge. American companies, perhaps unwittingly, let European carriers take the point - and bear the brunt of the damage.

U.S. carriers can now learn from the mistakes of their overseas rivals and chart a more profitable, and less dangerous, course. There`ll be plenty of time to catch up.

Worthwhile wait

There`s the second lesson. Sometimes it pays to wait.

While a slew and old companies alike were rushing to embrace the Web, a few older blue chips such as General Electric, Home Depot (HD: news, msgs, alerts) , BellSouth (BLS: news, msgs, alerts) and Wal-Mart (WMT: news, msgs, alerts) were slow to hop aboard the Internet gravy train. Without a clear idea of how they were going to generate revenue, these companies reasoned, it made no sense to plunk down gobs of money on a newfangled business.

Once they figured out how to use the Web, they did so with a vengeance. GE Chief Executive Jack Welch, for example, has said the company is now using the Internet to shave billions off costs and generate billions in new revenue.

That`s probably an exaggeration, but the point is well taken. The Internet is saving GE (GE: news, msgs, alerts) money faster than startup high-tech companies are using the Web to generate it. It`s hard to beat that.

On the flip side are companies like Borders (BGP: news, msgs, alerts) . The book chain, fearful of its demise, threw up an online business a few years ago after Amazon (AMZN: news, msgs, alerts) exploded onto the scene. Borders spent millions to build its Web page - and lost millions in the process.

Last month, Borders decided to shut its own online site - and team up with Amazon! The brazen Internet book seller, it turns out, also overspent and is facing troubles of its own.

Jeffry Bartash is a reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com in Washington

. . .

Damit wollte ich nur auf die weiterhin bestehenden Risiken von Jyra aufmerksam machen.(Was als "Dienstleister" im ein "natürliches" Risko bleiben wird, auch wenn man es auf der anderen Seite genauso sehen kann: die Telcos sind bei einem geforderten hochqualitativen Standard (QoS) auf sehr gute "Tools" angewiesen sonst gehen sie vor der Konkurrenz baden!)
Dass sich BT Cellnet aber letztendlich unten vielen Mitbewerber für Jyra entschieden hat sollte eignetlich dem letzten Zweifler klar machen, das Jyra Qualität ist und seine Zukunft damit erst begonnen hat. Außerdem sollte es den "Großen" wie der Telekom und France Telekom ein Zeichen sein auf Jyras SMS aufmerksam zu werden (!)
Doch entscheidend für den Anleger wird sein, was tatsächlich schwarz auf weiß an "revenues" auf dem Papier b.z.w. in den kommenden Quartalberichten - nächster am 15. Mai - stehen wird!
Meiner eigenen Schätzung nach halte ich - pardon - geäußerte Prognosen von 700 Tsd US$ für Unsinn, ich gehe von um die 500 TSD aus.

Wir werden sehen . . .
in keinen 10 Tagen.

Ein erläuternder Hinweis zur PR von Micromuse zu deren Deal
mit BT Cellnet und den Zusammenhang mit Jyra`s Deal:

Grundsätzlich ist dies nichts Negatives. Tatsächlich werden
sowohl Jyra als auch Netcool implementiert, wobei Netcool
mehr die Basis bildet und Jyra sich voll auf den Part
Performance Monitoring konzentriert. BT Cellnet hat Jyra
(so wie es in der PR steht) in sein "Service Management
Program" aufgenommen, und da sind eben auch noch andere
Anbieter mit drin. Es ist durchaus nicht unüblich, daß bis
zu 5 Provider von Service Management Software im weiteren
Sinne (also z.B. auch HP Openview, das bei fast allen
großen Firmen läuft) im Konzert zur Anwendung kommen. Daß
Jyra nur den Part Performance Monitoring übernimmt, liegt
voll im Rahmen der neuen Strategie, nach der man sich
inbesondere auf diesen Part konzentrieren will, da man hier
die besten Wettbewerbsvorteile sieht (siehe auch letzter
10-K: "The primary goal of the Business Development activity
is to position our product as the performance monitoring
element within wider Service Provider and Enterprise
solutions. This positioning assists the Company`s sales
force by adding weight to our message and by allowing the
Company to leverage the sales forces of complimentary
suppliers.").

Mir ist nicht bewußt, wer momentan verkauft - auf jeden Fall
kotzt es mich auch gewaltig an. Es helfen wohl nur noch die
nackten Zahlen, die heute oder morgen kommen. Was man dann
machen kann, ist den Umsatz auf das Jahr hochzurechnen und
das vergleichbare Umsatzmultiple von MUSE zur Bewertung
heranzuziehen (das müsste so bei um die 50 liegen), d.h. bei
500 Umsatz im ersten Quartal oder konservativ 2 Mio. im Jahr
- kein weiteres Wachstum unterstellt - müsste die Bewertung
dann bei ca. 100 Mio. Marktkapitalisierung liegen. Eine
Bewertung nach dem CCA (comparable company approach) ist
natürlich nur dann sinnvoll, wenn man Sicherheit hat, daß
das Unternehmen überhaupt stetig Umsätze generiert.

Mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen. Außer - wie gesagt - daß
mich der Kursverlauf auch gewaltig anwidert. Aber hier wird
momentan einfach nur gezockt. Solange kein breites
Marktvolumen mit neuen Anlegern erreicht wird, bleibt die
Aktie weiter Spielball der Zocker. Hoffentlich wird sie auch
mal wieder nach oben gezockt.

cenix

[Cenix]

Nachdem das Ganze ja nur schrittchenweise weitergeht, wird es
m.E. Zeit das Bewußtsein wieder etwas zu schärfen:

"During the first quarter of 2001 the new sales team and
strategy has provided the strongest quarter in the company`s
history.
Average order value and the quality of customers have both
strengthened, with the result that management are looking
forward to continued exciting sales activity during the
remainder of 2001."

Was kommt heute?

Um den 10-Q zu verstehen muß man schon etwas mit den US-GAAP-
Regelungen vertraut sein und hier insbesondere mit der "percentage
of completion"-Methode.

Insgesamt hat Jyra nämlich im ersten Quartal Aufträge im Wert von
über $ 800.000 erhalten. Da die tatsächliche Leistungserbringung
aber nicht vollständig im ersten Quartal, sondern auch auf die
Folgequartale verteilt erfolgt, konnte in Q1 nur ein Teilumsatz
mit BT Cellnet realisiert werden. Weitere $ 450.000 wurden als
deferred revenue verbucht und werden in den kommenden Quartalen
umsatzwirksam realisiert.

Mit den $ 800.000 wurden meine Erwartungen übertroffen.

Bedenkt man weiterhin, daß die Referenz BT Cellnet einen hohen
Marketing-Nutzen hat, so wird einem klar, daß Jyra jetzt tatsächlich
loslegt.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (cont)

Jyra wireless solutions are being used to monitor performance of next
generation interactive mobile services such as General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS) - data over mobile telephones, as well as WAP based services.
Performance of wireless applications is increasingly regarded as a
differentiator for mobile telecommunication companies delivering innovative
interactive services. Now, as a result of GPRS, mobile telecommunication
companies can deliver high bandwidth services but must focus on delivering
quality of service and improved content.

New mobile services are creating revolutionary business opportunities by
providing a new channel to market for existing services and the possibility for
totally new services that can reach customers 24 hours a day wherever they are.
It has been estimated that in excess $15 Billion will be spent on GSM
transmission equipment this year as mobile telecommunication companies compete
to offer the best performing services delivering high speed e-commerce related
Internet applications to the mobile user.

Europe, for the moment, leads the world in wireless service delivery. European
manufacturers dominate the handset market and European wireless operators are
delivering among the worlds most sophisticated services to a greater density of
customers than anywhere else. The USA has led the Internet phenomenon. A new
era is approaching in which the two biggest growth trends the Internet and
Wireless is converging. As a result of this convergence wireless operators, to
remain competitive, must deliver networks that support higher and higher
performance Internet services to mobile phones. We believe the company to be
well positioned to take advantage of this emerging market with the
implementation of a customised system already taking place on client site.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (cont)
. . .
The new sales team and strategy made Quarter 1 2001 the strongest quarter in
the company`s history with average order value and the quality of customers
both strengthening. To capitalise on these changes we exerted considerable
efforts in forming a significant customer relationship in the wireless sector.
This relationship was with with BT Cellnet. Establishing the relationship with
BT Cellnet was one of the highest priority activities for everyone at Jyra
during the first quarter of 2001.

BT Cellnet purchased significant quantities of Jyra product in the first
quarter of 2001. BT Cellnet will use Jyra`s product to monitor performance of
GPRS services across their wireless network. This win was strategic both in
terms of Jyra`s position within this account but also in terms of providing us
with a world class reference with which we can address the wider fast emerging
market for wireless performance solutions. During 2001 we shall be focussing on
the wireless market, we believe that the BT Cellnet relationship will add
significant value to our proposition to other wireless operators.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (cont)
. . .

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company`s bookings and orders (including service related backlog) exceeded
$800,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The US GAAP revenue recognised
by the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $357,406 compared to
$434,957 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The balance of the order values
(approx $450,000) has been accounted as deferred revenue in accordance with US
GAAP.

Sales and Marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $378,821
compared to $242,565 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This increase
reflects the enhanced sales force and increased costs associated with the
increase in customer orders.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was
$121,047 compared to $128,453 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Research and Development expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was
$234,208 compared to $266,091 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Company
continued to work on its existing development program, and is actively
recruiting additional development staff.

Interest expense was $509 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Earnings(Loss) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was ($0.07).
The number of weighted average common shares outstanding was 14,450,919.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used by operating activities was $1,079,626 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The primary expenditure of this cash was to fund
the operating expenses offset against initial revenue adjusted for
depreciation, offset by Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accounts
receivable.

Net cash received from investing activities was $25,688 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. These funds were principally received as a result
of the disposal of certain items of property and equipment.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (cont)
. . .
As of March 31, 2001, the Company`s principal sources of liquidity
included cash and available for sale securities totalling $2,298,252. The
Company currently has no outstanding bank borrowings and has no established
lines of credit. The Company continues to meet its working capital
requirements through its product sales revenue and financing transactions
involving the private placement of equity securities.

As at March 31 2001 we had disposed of 36,018 Path 1 at an average price of
$9.19 realising gross proceeds of $331,060. As at March 31 2001 we held 241,000
Path 1 with a gross value of $1,852,687.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (cont)

During January 2001 our Board agreed that we will look to maximise our
financial return from the Corporation`s interest in Path1, the only quoted
shares that the Corporation currently owns. The Board authorised the gradual
reduction of the shareholding, in an orderly fashion over time. The Board gave
its irrevocable and unanimous consent and authorisation for the initiation and
completion of various disposals over time in respect of the Corporation`s total
holding of 277,018 shares in Path 1 Technologies Inc. As at March 31 2001 the
Company had disposed of a total of 36,018 shares at an average price of $9.19,
realising total gross proceeds of $331,060.

REVENUES. Revenues increased to $59.3 million and $109.1 million in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, from $27.1 million and $49.5 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. License revenues increased to $43.2 million and $79.6 million in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, from $20.1 million and $36.5 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. The growth in license revenues was primarily due to an increase in the number of product licenses sold, reflecting the increased acceptance of Netcool(R)/OMNIbus and the expansion of our sales organization and product offerings. Maintenance and services revenues increased to $16.1 million and $29.6 million in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, from $7.0 million and $13.0 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. The increase in maintenance and services revenues was a result of providing maintenance and services to a larger installed base of customers. License revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 72.8% and 72.9% in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to 74.2% and 73.7% in the comparable periods of the prior year.

COST OF REVENUES. The cost of license revenues consists primarily of technology license fees paid to third-party software vendors and production costs. Cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues increased to 5.5% and 5.6% in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, from 5.3% and 5.2% in the comparable periods of the prior year primarily due to higher third-party royalty costs offset partially by economies of scale. The cost of maintenance and services revenues consists primarily of personnel-related costs incurred in providing maintenance, consulting and training to customers. Cost of maintenance and services revenues as a percentage of maintenance and services revenues decreased to 43.5% and 41.4% in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, from 50.2% and 50.0% in the comparable periods of the prior year. This improvement, which was principally due to a proportionally greater percentage of higher-margin maintenance revenues, was partially offset by increased personnel, facilities, and travel costs associated with expanding the customer support and technical service organizations.

Micromuse Says Things Are Tough, But Looking Up

. . .
However, repeating the company`s predictions issued during its conference call with analysts after it
released its fiscal second-quarter financial results last month, Brown said Micromuse expects revenue
for this quarter to grow by about 6 percent to 7 percent versus its traditional 9 percent to 10 percent.

``It was tough last quarter,`` he said. ``It`s tough this quarter.``

However, Brown admitted the company is known to underplay its current financial performance.

``Our track record is to underpromise and overdeliver,`` he said.

``All of telecom is not sick,`` he said, alluding to the tough economic environment many
telecommunications companies face and one that has lead to several declaring bankruptcy. ``The
pipeline is very good.`` he said

ein paar Anmerkungungen von mir zu dem "Zahlenspiel" von Cenix:

gehen wir davon aus, dass die Umsätze tatsächlich über das ganze Jahr gleichmäßig so bleiben werden, wie sie jetzt im 1. Quartal waren (zum Vergleich vom Vorjahr:
"RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the first quarter increased 276% to $434,957 compared to $115,382 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. In addition, the Company was pleased to see that bookings and orders (including service related backlog) exceeded $500,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, surpassing management forecasts and general expectations."
was eine kritische Anmerkung einerseits von mir sein soll in der Hinsicht, dass die Umsätze von QZ1-2000 nicht weiter gehalten werden konnten!, wäre nämlich sonst: total 2000 = 4 x 500.000 = 2 Mio us$ für schon 2000 gewesen!)

also bleiben wir mal dabei, dass die Umsätze diesmal das ganze Jahr über gehalten werden können (weil "echte" Umsätze allein schon durch BT Cellnet!),
so hätten wir sogar mehr als von Dir Cenix gestern noch angenommen, nicht ca 2 Mio $ für total 2001 sondern 4 x 800.000 = 3,2 Mio $( wobei ein ansteigendes Wachstum nicht berücksichtig ist, schon deswegen nicht, weil die Mobilfunknetze mit dem neuen Standard GPRS(G3) bereits ab Mitte des Jahres b.z.w. spätestens im 4. Quartal dieses Jahres laufen werden).
Bleiben wir weiter bei dem "Vergleich": "das vergleichbare Umsatzmultiple von MUSE zur Bewertung heranzuziehen" so wären es bei 2 Mio entsprechend einer MK von 100 Mio bei einem Gesamtjahresumsatz 2001 von mind. 3.2 also eine MK von 160 Mio $, was eigentlich "zur Folge" hätte, dass bei einer jetzigen MK von ca 14,5 Mio $ (Kurs ca 1 $) der Aktienkurs entsprechend zum Jahresende bei mind. 11 us$ stehen sollte (wir also ca Mitte des Jahres bereits schon wieder unsere Einstiegskurse sehen könnten ; bei einer grösseren Umsatz von z.B. dem Doppelten also ca 6,5 Mio Gesamtjahresumsatz entsprechend . . .

o.k., niemand glaubt in der Hinsicht mehr irgendetwas (dazu haben wir in der Vergangenheit schon genug "Superaussichten" gehört),
schauen wir mal, was so an weiteren Vertragsabschlüssen noch mit anderen Telcos (echten! und keine "pilot projects") zustande kommt und!:
lassen wir uns mal überraschen, was Rienk van Kamer in seinem nächsten Börsenbrief, der am 1. Juni erscheinen wird, zu Jyra schreiben wird; sicher wird er gut informiert sein (werden) über die wirklich real zu erwartenden Umsätze in diesem Jahr und . . . vielleicht schreibt er ja eine Kaufempfehlung für seine Leser, weil ihm die Aktie angesicht derartigen Aussichten als eindeutig unterbewertet erscheint ?

[Cenix]

Antarius,

kurze Antwort zu Deinen Ausführungen was die Umsätze in Q1
2000 angeht:

Du hast natürlich grundsätzlich recht - eine Schwalbe macht
noch keinen Sommer. Das gleiche unwohle Gefühl schwirrt ganz
entfernt auch noch in meinem Magen rum.

Aber dennoch ist die Situation dieses Jahr ganz anders.

Zum einen Stand der Kapitalmarkt am Ende des Q1 2000 gerade
vor dem Absturz, was Jyra und auch ihren Kunden die
Finanzierung verhagelt hat. Die Finanzierung ist heute
gesichert.

Zum anderen war Jyra damals noch eine "development stage
company", was man heute nach SEC-Regularien nicht mehr ist
(steht auch so im Filing). D.h. heute hat man eine komplette
Vertriebstruppe mit über 10 Leuten stehen, damals waren es
gerade zwei Personen. Der ganze Fokus ist heute viel stärker
auf Verkauf und Marktpenetration ausgerichtet.

Und last but not least: Jyra ist um die Erfahrung des
letzten Jahres reicher - so etwas will man garantiert nicht
nochmals passieren lassen.

Und wie gesagt: Heute hat man bereits Umsätze für das
nächste Quartal in der Tasche - in Q1 2000 hatte 434 Umsätze
und 500 Auftragsbestand - heute hat man 357 Umsätze und
über 800 Auftragsbestand! D.h. es kommt noch einiges.

Shortsqueeze (wenn jemand glaubt das Shortpositionen bestehen und die auf dem Kurs lasten, dann hier ein Beispiel
wie man dem Abhilfe schaffen kann). Alles andere (ist versucht und funktioniert nicht):

Kurz umrissen die Geschichte! Bei der letzten Aktionärshauptversammlung (19 Februar 2001) stellte der Vorstand von Medinah Minerals fest, das obwohl nur ein Bruchteil aller Aktionäre vorhanden waren, daß über 190 Mil Stimmrechte vorhanden waren, obwohl nur knapp über 80 Mil. Aktien ausgegeben sind. Daher schätzt man momentan die Summe der verkauften Aktien auf über 500 Mil. obwohl nur 80 Mil existieren! Erschwerend kommt der Umstand dazu, das angeblich fast 100% der ausgegebenen Aktien registriert sind. D.h. den Besitzern namentlich zugeordnet sind!

Der Vorstand beschloß darauf Gegenmaßnahmen zu ergreifen! Es wurde ein Reversesplit 1:1,01 beschlossen. Weiters wurden die alten Medinah Aktien eingezogen, eine neue Cusip Nr. wurde beantragt, und die alten Aktien wurden für null und nichtig erklärt! Das soll die Marketmaker zwingen reale Aktien über den freien Markt zurückzukaufen.

Man bedenke, wenn jemand versucht von etwas 500 Mil zurückzukaufen, wovon es nur 80 Mil gibt. Der Kurs müsste ins unermessliche steigen! die Marketmaker sind natürlich mit allen Wassern gewaschen und werden versuchen möglichst ungeschoren aus dieser für sie misslichen Situation zu kommen. Im Prinzip ist es auch ein Kampf Kleinanleger gegen die Marketmaker! Wer behält die besseren Nerven! Um die Aktionäre bei der Stange zu halten gab Medinah Minerals auch noch eine aktiendividende von 20% aus! Diese sind aber zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht ausgeliefert!


http://www.8ung.at/zockstocks/MDMN.htm


es liegt (wie immer an der Firma etwas zu tun) ansonsten
geht mal davon aus, dass es kein short interest gibt.
Zitat Jyra HV: Uns ist nichts von einer Shortposition

Wireless Remorse
By Rick Wray - London Correspondent

LONDON - Maybe it was the word "auction" they didn`t understand.

In bidding almost $15 billion to buy two third-generation (3G) spectrum licenses from the British and German governments, British Telecommunications was one of a dozen global telecom firms eager to be part of the European handheld high-speed Internet market. Companies spent an unbelievable $115 billion to get in the Euro 3G game.

Last month, in a bout of buyer`s remorse, BT decided it had bid too much and asked the British government for some of its money back. The government politely but firmly said no. Now, with the 3G market unlikely to take off anytime soon, the telecom giant faces the prospect of asking its shareholders to help pay off its massive debt.

With the collapse of global technology stocks and bond markets groaning under the weight of telecom debt, Europe`s major wireless firms that once bet their pocketbooks on 3G licenses are suddenly desperate for help.
This time, though, banking authorities are warning financial institutions against lending too much to the troubled telecoms. That has left some begging governments for favors and asking equipment makers to shoulder their part of an increasingly risky 3G field.

So much for a sure thing. In April 2000, when BT, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and others firms peeled off $35 billion to the U.K. government for licenses in the first of Europe`s major radio-spectrum auctions, 3G was supposed to unlock the undisputed wealth of the European wireless market. With hundreds of millions of potential cell-phone-crazy customers from Stockholm to Seville, companies acted like Getty heirs at a Van Gogh auction in their bids to secure a place in the market.

One year later, with technological hiccups hampering the smooth introduction of Europe`s 3G networks, the telecom firms are coming to terms with just how much they overcommitted - and are appealing for relief.

To date, European governments have been anything but accommodating. In Germany, where six licenses were sold for more than $45 billion in August, the government has rebuffed all requests for refunds. The United Kingdom shot down BT, saying that a refund could provoke losing bidders to sue the government.

The French government has proved most intransigent, despite its shambles of a 3G sale last year. Instead of an auction, France held a "beauty contest," offering four licenses for $4 billion each to companies that offered the best deal for consumers.

Only Orange and SFR, a unit of Vivendi, coughed up the cash. The French government declines a refund, explaining that 3G proceeds are earmarked for social spending. (There`s also the specter of possible protests from France`s powerful unions.)

Only Spain has been sympathetic. Last week, it pushed back the required rollout date for 3G services from August 2001 to June 2002 because of delays in the production of 3G equipment.

Even if the technology does work eventually, experts doubt consumers will spend enough money to make 3G pay. In a report published this week, Jupiter Media Metrix calculates that interactive wireless revenues will grow from $104 million to $7.3 billion in 2005. But considering BT alone spent twice that amount for its licenses, that amount seems paltry. Shopping via wireless devices in 2005 will amount to only $3.5 billion; compare that with shopping on PCs, which is expected to exceed $58 billion in the same year.

If 3G doesn`t deliver, some of those bid-happy telecoms could become acquisition bait or risk going out of business. Speculation surrounds the future of Dutch telco KPN`s mobile business, which could be a possible target for Telecom Italia Mobile. KPN has a partnership with Japan`s DoCoMo, and the Japanese concern also has working arrangements with AT&T Wireless and Hutchison in the U.K. An acquisition by Telecom Italia would cement a wireless network stretching across the Atlantic.

At the moment such megadeals are mere whispers around Europe`s financial centers. But some patchwork deals to share 3G costs have already been sewn up.
Earlier this month, French industry minister Christian Pierret said her government would encourage the successful 3G bidders to share the costs of building the infrastructure to support 3G services. German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has also expressed his support for companies to share each other`s wireless networks "as long as it doesn`t harm competition."

German telecoms E-Plus and MobilCom already have struck a deal; another is in the works between German license winner Group 3G and BT`s German unit, Viag Interkom.

Recently, Europe`s wireless operators have turned to gearmakers for help. In April alone, Hutchison secured $1.1 billion of vendor financing from NEC, Nokia and Siemens; Orange cut a deal with Alcatel, Ericsson and Nokia worth $1.8 billion.

The telecoms are hoping for more deals, mirroring traditional industries such as aerospace that have been using vendor financing for years. But predicting the cash flow from 3G services is far more precarious than forecasting revenue from a commercial airline. At least with airlines, you know the planes can get off the ground.
3G has yet to prove that.

Germany Gives 3G Relief To Telcos
By Todd Jatras

News and views from Europe:

Germany has eased the financial strain on Europe`s debt-ridden telecom sector by allowing the six owners of its third-generation cell phone licenses to share infrastructure costs on building out the new networks. But the country`s RegTP telecom watchdog stopped short of allowing full, nationwide joint operation of 3G networks in Europe`s largest and most competitive telecom market. The looser regulations could present a problem for European cell phone operators thinking about joining forces--a merger between two 3G players in Germany would mean giving up one of the costly licenses for nothing. The six 3G license winners, the two biggest being Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone , each paid more than $7 billion last year for the licenses. More . . .

12.06.01, 16:03:13 : Deutsche Telekom: UMTS-Zusammenarbeit

Die T-Mobile International AG und BT Wireless wollen beim Aufbau und Betrieb ihrer UMTS-Netze in Deutschland und Großbritannien zusammenarbeiten.

Die nationalen Gesellschaften T-Mobil und Viag Interkom und One 2 One und BT Cellnet werden die 3 G-Infrastruktur gemeinsam aufbauen und nutzen.

Kai-Uwe Ricke, Vorstand Deutsche Telekom für Mobilfunk und Online sowie Chief Executive Officer von T-Mobile International:
"Die Vereinbarung ist wegweisend und ein wichtiger Meilenstein für den schnellen, flächendeckenden und kostengünstigen Netzaufbau in zwei der bedeutendsten Telekommunikationsmärkten Europas. Letztlich profitieren davon Kunden, Aktionäre und die Umwelt gleichermaßen."

Die gemeinsame Nutzung der UMTS-Infrastruktur wird einen schnelleren und günstigeren Ausbau der Netze der nächsten Mobilfunkgeneration erlauben. Die Unternehmen rechnen mit beträchtlichen Einsparungen, mit einer wahrscheinlich schnelleren Inbetriebnahme der UMTS-Netze und einer deutlich geringeren Zahl an Basisstationen und Masten.

So werden die Netzbetreiber mit deutlich weniger Antennenstandorten auskommen als bisher angenommen. T-Mobil geht für Deutschland davon aus, dass bis zu 50 Prozent der geplanten UMTS-Standorte für eine gemeinsame Nutzung in Frage kommen.

Insgesamt rechnet T-Mobile International mit möglichen Einsparungen für den Netzausbau von rund 30 Prozent in Deutschland und Großbritannien.

Die beabsichtigte Zusammenarbeit steht mit den regulatorischen und kartellrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen in Einklang und gewährleistet die Unabhängigkeit der Lizenznehmer. One 2 One hat daneben die Möglichkeit, BT Cellnets bestehende 2G und 2,5 G-Netze für sogenanntes "National Roaming" zu nutzen, ähnlich der Vereinbarung zwischen T-Mobil und Viag Interkom in Deutschland.

Insgesamt möchte T-Mobile International auf diese Art auch bei UMTS die Versorgungsauflagen weit übertreffen und eines der dichtesten und flächendeckendsten 3G-Netze Europas aufbauen.

BT Wireless, T-Mobile to cooperate on 3G roll-out in UK,

Tue 12 Jun 2001 07:29:28

LONDON (AFX) - BT Wireless and T-Mobile International, the mobile telecom
arms of British Telecommunications PLC and Deutsche Telekom AG, said their
operating companies in the UK and Germany intend to co-operate on the roll-out
of third generation (3G) mobile networks.

The companies are the first operators to announce such an approach in two
of the largest mobile markets in western Europe, they said in a statement.

BT Wireless said it sees potential cost savings of up to 30 pct over 10
years on its capital expenditure relating to 3G network develo0pment.

It also sees a potential to expand the network availability of next
generation mobile multimedia and data services more quickly and a reduction in
the required number of new masts and base stations.

In the UK, BT Cellnet has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
One2One, a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile, and in Germany T-Mobil has
signed a similar MoU with Viag Interkom, which is wholly-owned by BT Wireless,
the statement said.

It is expected that definitive agreements will be signed at the end of the
summer after detailed planning activities have been concluded.

The agreement foresees a co-ordinated roll-out of 3G infrastructure and
sharing of new and existing base stations, including sites, masts and antennas,
in major urban areas.

It also envisages co-operation on the initial build of 3G infrastructure as
well as bilateral roaming on 3G networks, the companies said.

In addition, One2One customers will have the opportunity to roam on BT
Cellnet`s 2G and 2.5G networks in selected areas of the UK.

Peter Erskine, chief executive officer of BT wireless, said: "This is a
pioneering agreement - we are the first to drive the intelligently planned
creation of future mobile communications in two of the biggest mobile markets
in western Europe."

Kai Uwe Ricke, chief executive officer of T-Mobile International, said:
"This partnership is the most far-reaching co-operation agreed to date in
Europe."

BT Wireless said it estimates potential capital expenditure savings of
around 20 pct of the total 3G capital expenditure, or up to 30 pct of capital
expenditure related to 3G network components only.

BT announced on May 10 that it intends to de-merge BT Wireless before the
end of this year.

http://www.freshwater.com/press/mercuryRelease.htm
Freshwater (zählt in manchen Bereichen zu den direkten Wettbewerbern von JYRA ) ist von Mercury für 147 Mio. USD in Cash übernommen worden!
Wieder ein Zeichen für die Konsolidierungswelle im Service Management-Bereich.
Anzahl der ausstehenden Aktien ist nicht bekannt, da Freshwater nicht public, d.h. nicht börsengelistet war. Allerdings kann man die Bewertung auf Jyra zurückrechnen. Bei 14.677.586 Aktien entspricht das einen Preis von rd. 10 USD pro Aktie.
Allerdings wäre dies kein fairer Vergleich, da Freshwater im letzten Jahr 15 Mio. USD Umsatz gemacht hat und profitabel war. In 2001 rechnet man mit 20 Mio. USD.
Freshwater wurde ebenfalls wie Jyra 1996 gegründet.

Micromuse shares plunge on earnings fears

NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) - Shares of software firm Micromuse Inc. (NasdaqNM:MUSE - news) plunged more than 20
percent on Wednesday amid fears that the company would not be able to meet Wall Street expectations for its fiscal third quarter,
analysts said.

Company officials were not immediately available to comment.

Shares of Micromuse were off 20 percent, or $9, at $34.40, on heavy afternoon trading on the Nasdaq, where the stock was the biggest net loser. Its 52-week trading range is $23.20 to $108.38.

``There are concerns about the company being able to meet expectations for the quarter,`` said Prakesh Patel, an analyst with WR Hambrecht & Co. ``They haven`t warned,`` Patel said. ``But that`s the concern.``

Patel said Micromuse`s Chief Executive Greg Brown was speaking on Wednesday afternoon at the Bear Sterns technology conference in New York.

RESEARCH ALERT - Micromuse cut to buy

NEW YORK, June 14 (Reuters) - Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown said it downgraded Micromuse Inc. (NasdaqNM:MUSE -
news) to buy from strong buy after the software company made cautious comments about business conditions.

The firm said comments by Micromuse`s management that customers are making smaller purchases is ``a new circumstance and worrisome....anecdotal evidence accumulates suggesting slowing business momentum.``

The firm said Micromuse`s corporate business ``appears solid,`` but its telecommunications sector is likely the weak area. Many equipment and services firms have been hurt by a cutback in spending by telecommunications companies during the slowing economy.

The firm expects Micromust to focus on maintaining and building market share at the expense of substantial top-line growth. It expects Micromust to earn 12 cents a share, on revenues of $63.6 million, in the third fiscal quarter, and earn 47 cents a share on sales of $241.2 million for the full year.

Shares of Micromuse lost $7.74, or 22 percent, to $27.28 in morning trading on Nasdaq, adding to weakness seen on Wednesday.

The Yipes - Jyra relationship began in Q1 2000 with the initial
implementation of the SMS solution across their fiber optic network at the
points-of-presence. Yipes provides a customer focused approach by
providing business customers with light-speed data services featuring true
bandwidth-on-demand. Yipes wanted to offer a Service Level Agreement of sub 10 ms from
anywhere to anywhere on their network and, should they not meet this SLA, offer a service
rebate. In order to do this they turned to Jyra. Jyra generates service level breaches
(exceptions) automatically and feeds them into the Yipes billing and customer case systems
enabling Yipes to offer Dynamic Service Rebates (DSR`s). Since the initial implementation Jyra
has worked closely with Yipes helping them grow this business model, with the latest
progression being the use of JyraScope. The JyraScope reports are published on the web
allowing Yipes to offer a true Quality driven service.

"The remarkable ability of Jyra`s Service Management Solution to scale with Yipes`
rapidly-expanding IP networks was instrumental in our decision to purchase it," said Dr.
Kamran Sistanizadeh, Vice President of Network Architecture at Yipes. "Jyra is providing
us with a critical tool to offer highly flexible and reliable managed services to our
customers now and in the future."

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
3G boost as IBM breaks speed barrier
By Tony Glover
Mon 25 Jun 2001

LONDON (SHARECAST) - A new IBM transistor that could revolutionise third-generation mobile phones is good news for 3G operators such as Vodafone and Orange. The new transistor will power chips that will be 100 times faster than the Pentium 4, the silicon chip that currently powers many personal computers.


As well as speed, the new transistors will also offer phone makers a 50% reduction in power consumption over current designs. The transistor uses a modified design and IBM’s silicon germanium chips, which can be built on existing manufacturing lines, to reach speeds of 210 GigaHertz while drawing only a milli-amp of electrical current.

IBM vice president Bernard Meyerson said: “Just as aircraft were once believed incapable of breaking an imaginary ‘sound barrier’, silicon-based transistors were once thought of breaking through a 200 GigaHertz speed barrier”.

The new chips would enable 3G operators to offer services such as low-cost, high-speed interactive gaming over 3G mobile phones and their introduction within two years should coincide with the roll-out of 3G networks.

WestLB Panmure analyst Benedict Evans said: “The new IBM transistor represents another brick in the 3G edifice that is now starting to take shape. The question regarding 3G handsets is one of getting sufficient power at the right price without sacrificing too much battery power.”

Angesichts der herben Kursverluste - auch im Allgemeinen aber in unserem Falle auch bei Jyra, hiermit die Übersetzung des letzten "Kamer financial newsletter" vom 1. Juni zu Jyra (die ich erst gestern erhalten habe). Kamer sprach sich aber nicht negativ gegenüber Jyra aus - eher das Gegenteil!:
(mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Abbonenten und Übersetzers)

""
The translation of what Kamer wrote on the first of June.

Here it follows:

"Things are coming to life at Jyra, about which management at last is making some announcements again. Most important is the confirmation that the leading mobile telephone-company of England, British Telecom-daughter BT Cellnet indeed has become a Jyra-client by incorporating the perfomance-technology of Jyra in the BT-service General Packet Radio Service. That`s the section that deals with WAP and UMTS.
More important than the technical details is the fact that the tiny Jyra was selected by the big BT Cellnet. That means a direct acknowledgement of the technological usefulness and quality of the Jyra-product.
And that - in our sceptisism - we wanted to see first, in order to be able to judge whether there still is viability in a Jyra-future. Conclusion, yes indeed.
In the long run, of course, this contract can lead to important cash flow.
The section marketing was reinforced by a contract with the British Convergent Network Solutions (CNS), which employes the Jyra-software for the measurement of performance within her concultancy-services for the networks and websites of big, well-established businesses that belong tot the existing clients of CNS.
Because of conscious management (bewusstes Geschaftsfuehrung) the first successes of the organized approach are in the homeland, England. We expect more news about improvements of this sort in the marketing- and distribution-activity, also outside England."

"Casually also the quarter-results were published. There was no suprise. We already knew that cash flow is starting off with great difficulty, but even so, it is going upward.
Revenue in the first quarter was about $ 500.000,00, costs about $ 1.000.000,00. Besides the sale of a handful of Path 1-shares a new private placement against $ 0,75 a share has taken place to stop the gap.
In future, as is to be expected, the upward sales-activity will see to that. In the mean time Jyra holds in reserve about
$ 2.000.000,00 (present value) of immediate salable shares of Path 1.
It all is somewhat minimalistic, but Jyra has taken a turn for the better. And that was my condition for my thumb up or my thumb down (hope I translated this last sentence well). A hesitant up, for the time being."

That was what Kamer wrote in his newsletter of June 1.
""

Im letzten (Juli) Kamer newsletter über Jyra:

""
Kamer wrote a short message about Jyra:

"Jyra reports in a phone call that the dynamic within the renewed salesforce and - strategy is increasing; number of prospects and orders also."
He also states that Jyra is in a very tough sector (tech, internet, small). That sector at the moment knows very little buyers.

P.S.:
für diejenigen, die das Path1-board nicht lesen:
inzwischen sind ein Dutzend "Boardautoren" (IDs ("Identitäten") - Nicknames) vom wallstreet-online Webmaster gesperrt worden, alle die gleiche IP-Adresse und damit mutmasslich der selbe Autor, der uns nicht nur auf den Path1-boards sondern auch auf den Jyraboards seit ca 2 Jahren! somit belügt und betrügt.
Vermutlich wird die Angelegenheit vor der Staatsanwaltschaft ein entgültiges Ende finden.

[Antarius]

Noch was nachträglich:

seit dem Kamer letter, dessen Übersetzung ich hier ins board gestellt habe b.z.w. seines Erscheinens sind ja 5 Wochen vergangen und der Kurseinbruch (Verkauf durch ca 200.000 Stück - b.z.w. sofortige "Aufnahme" von Käufern sonst wäre der Kurs noch tiefer! ) ist erst vor kurzem gewesen.
Nach meinen Infos (keine wirkliche "Garantie" dazu, eher ein "Gerücht") soll ein Aktionär aus Übersee eine grosse Stückzahl aus . . . na, sagen wir mal "finanztechnischen" Gründen hat verkaufen müssen, die er sich aber wieder zurückkaufen wird.

Es sollte klar sein, dass "wir hier in Deutschland" nur "peanuts" sind als deutsche "Kleinaktionäre", wenn also jemand bei so einem "marktengen" Wert "notverkaufen" (event. unlimitiert) muss, rauscht der Kurs nach unten,
ganz zu schweigen, wenn Kamer seinen "Daumen nach unten" gemacht hätte b.z.w. machen würde !, dann fliegen gleich hunderttausende von Stücken auf den Markt b.z.w. aus den Depos und dann "gute Nacht", dann sehen wir schnell Kurse um 10 us cent.
Somit sollte klar sein wo das Risiko liegt b.z.w. die "Chancen".
Das BT Cellnet sich für Jyras SMS entschieden hatte ist fast eine Garantie für Letzteres vorausgesetzt BT zerschlägt/ verkauft sich - auf Grund der enormen Verschuldungen (auch durch die UMTS-Lizenserwerbung und die Notwendigkeit jetzt deswegen zum Aufbau desselben in neue Netzwerktechnik investieren zu müssen) nicht scheibchenweise selber.

Ansonsten nicht in den pessimistischen "Jyratunnelblick" verfallen und auch die "Konkurrenz" (wie z.B. Keynote - als auch Micromuse) mal beobachten, da sehen die Kurse ebenfalls "verheerend" aus.

ANALYSIS

Telecom industry left in a quandry (= Verlegenheit)

Troubled by `fiber` glut, shakeout fears

By Peter J. Howe, Globe Staff, 7/2/2001

As much of corporate America checks out this week for what some call the
nine-day July Fourth weekend, in perhaps no industry more than
telecommunications is there a stronger sense of being in the middle of a giant - and
ominous - lull.

By now it`s conventional wisdom: 1998 to 2000 was a mad boom for telecom,
closely linked to Internet hysteria generally. But these days the industry has been
dragged into the same kind of hard shakeout that, in decades past, swept through
the computer, defense-contracting, electronics, and railroad industries.

And like drivers on a fog-bound highway, telecom executives have a hard time
figuring out where they are, how fast they`re driving - and who`s going to smash up
their car next.
``We`ve often had down cycles and up cycles that have been economic cycles, but I
think this is a basic change in the structure of the industry,`` says James A. Dolce
Jr., chief executive of Unisphere Networks in Westford, a next-generation telecom
gear maker.

``If you can survive this, you come out stronger,`` Dolce says, ``but there will be
plenty who don`t survive. Basically, everybody overbuilt their network, and we`re
going to pay for it on all sides, carriers and equipment providers.``

Meldung von JUNIPER (in der auch YIPES - als stategischer Partner von Jyra mit integriert ist) !:

Juniper ruft Allianz ins Leben

Werkzeuge zum Netzwerk-Management sollen eigene Produkte aufwerten

Ein wahres Feuerwerk an Meldungen lässt der Hersteller von
Hochgeschwindigkeits-Routern Juniper Networks auf die Anleger
niederprasseln. Das Unternehmen hat die "IP OSS Alliance" (IOA) ins Leben
gerufen, die Serviceprovidern und Carriern helfen soll, ihre zunehmend
komplexeren Multi-Service-Netzwerke zu managen, ohne Abstriche an der
Leistungsfähigkeit und Skalierbarkeit ihrer Juniper-Netzwerk-Router machen zu
müssen.

Mit NARUS ist ein Gründungsmitglied bei IOA dabei, dessen „Internet Business
Infrastructure (IBI)“-Plattform eine laufende Kontrolle aller Netzwerkvorgänge
erlaubt. Darauf basierend können Lösungen implementiert werden, die
Service-genaue Abrechnung ermöglichen, Umsatz-Ausfälle und Missbrauch
erkennen. Hierdurch können Betreiber ihre Dienste optimieren, Erlöse steigern
und Betriebskosten ihrer Netzwerke senken. Bisher haben sich der
Juniper-Initiative mehr als 20 Hersteller von Netzwerk-Management-Tools
angeschlossen, die mit ihren Produkten das "JUNOScript Application
Programming Interface" (API) von Juniper nutzen.

„In einem Umfeld starken Wettbwerbs arbeitet Yipes daran, den
Kommunikationsmarkt mittels innovativen Ethernet-basierten IP-Netzwerken zu
transformieren,“ erläutert Dr. Kamran Sistanizadeh, Cheftechniker bei Yipes
Communications. „Anbieter der ersten Reihe, wie etwa Micromuse, NARUS und
Syndesis stellen Schlüssel-Werkzeuge bereit, um unseren Netzwerk-Kern zu
managen. Diese Partner erleichtern unsere Netzwerksteuerung und erlauben
uns, uns mit unseren Diensten und Service-bezogenen Abrechnungsverfahren
von Konkurrenten abzuheben." Auch Global Crossing begrüßt das Vorhaben:
„Um unser Netzwerk mit höchster Effizienz zu fahren, benötigen wir die
Werkzeuge von Caimis, die uns einen jederzeitigen Einblick in die
Routing-Leistung erlauben. Wir sind froh, dass Caimis Mitglied der Allianz von
Juniper ist.“

Needham & Co. hat die Juniper-Aktie kürzlich von „buy“ auf „strong buy“
hochgestuft . CIBC World Markets glaubt, dass die Preisdiszipin allmählich
leidet und Margendruck bei Extreme, Foundry und Cisco aufkommt. Cisco
betreibe zudem eine aggressive Rabatt-Politik bei High-End-Routern. Das sollte
die Gewinnspannen von Juniper beeinträchtigen. Der Druck sollte aber wieder
nachlassen, wenn Juniper im Herbst die technologische Führerschaft mit neuen
Produkten zurückgewinnt.

Die IOA-Kampagne von Juniper ist eine weitere Facette im Kampf um die
technologische Führerschaft bei den Hochgeschwindigkeits-Routern, der
gegenwärtig hauptsächlich zwischen Cisco und Juniper ausgetragen wird .

Die JNPR-Aktie verliert heute 1,2% auf 24,86$. Der 52-Wochen-Bereich liegt
zwischen 25 und 244,50$.

Ein paar "Neuigkeiten" zu Jyra:

das komplette europäische Sales-team wurde ausgetauscht.
Man hat jetzt einen festangestellten Sales Director (nicht mehr Murdo MacDonald),
der vorher für die Northern Europe Sales bei Infovista verantwortlich war. Dieser hat auch gleich seine ganze Sales-Truppe mitgebracht. Er wird nur mit Stock Options und Umsatzbeteiligung bezahlt.
Man hat nach BT Cellnet (Auftragswert GBP 500.000) einige neue Deals aufgetan, aber bislang kaum etwas Größeres abgeschlossen, was auf die derzeitige konjunkturelle Schwäche und den Wechsel des Sales Teams zurückzuführen ist.
Im August soll wohl ein größeres Lizenz-Update von einem bestehenden Kunden kommen. Desweiteren spricht man derzeit intensiv mit einer großen amerikanischen Bank, die Jyras Produkte und Servive einsetzten will.
Alles in allem erwartet man ein gutes 3. Quartal. Wenn alles planmäßig läuft kann noch in 2001 der break even erreicht werden. Der Umsatz wird x,x Mio. betragen und die Marktkapitalisierung auf jeden Fall sehr günstig erscheinen lassen.

Vom derzeitigen PNWK-Kurs ist man schwer enttäuscht, meint aber, dass dies einfach nur wiederspiegelt wie chaotisch das Team derzeit dort arbeitet. Es geht dort wohl z.Z. ziemlich drunter und drüber.
Gleichwohl ist die Technologie aber top und es seien wohl von Enron noch in diesem Jahr die ersten Umsätze zu erwarten.
Bei allen Kursen über 3,5 USD stößt Jyra per private placement PNWK-Stücke ab. (Also außerbörslich!, so dass kein Druck auf den Kurs entsteht) Man braucht einfach Geld, will aber bei dem derzeitigen Kurs keine Aktien ausgeben oder sich mit Krediten belasten.

Derzeit bereitet man für den Spätsommer eine Roadshow vor (wie man sie ja bereits vor 2 jahren auch veranstaltet hatte), auf der neue Investorenkreise angesprochen werden sollen. Man ist sich im Klaren darüber, daß es derzeit nur Verkäufer gibt. Ziel ist es aber die Story, die bei der heutigen niedrigen Bewertung attraktiver ist als im letzten Jahr, wieder neuen Investorenkreisen zu vermitteln. Dabei wird man nicht mehr auf LTR zurückgreifen.

Die Kunden interessiert der Kurs von Jyra anscheinend so gut wie gar nicht.

Was die zukünftige Finanzierung angeht:
es wurde angedeutet, dass man auch mit Keynote spricht, die derzeit das Geld haben, das Jyra bräuchte, und die Produkte von Jyra bräuchten um ihre eigene Story etwas aufzupeppen.
Dabei schließt man aber einen Verkauf des gesamten Unternehmens aus - es sei denn die Mehrheit der shareholder ist dafür. Vielmehr wird wohl eine strategische Beteiligung (20-30%) angestrebt.
Keynote würde bei der derzeitigen Gesamtmarktlage und seiner eigenen niedrigen Marktbewertung (Kurs ca 9,5 $, war mal bei 150-170 $!) wohl von den 200 mio, die sie z.Z. cash haben, auch nicht viel zahlen ( 50 mio ? ).
Keynote verdient wohl zur Zeit auch eher Geld mit seiner cash-Position als mit eigenen Serviceleistungen.
(Keynote hat gestern eine weitere company gekauft: "Keynote Purchases the MSP Division of Envive Corporation, Provider of Web Application Performance Management Solutions" - http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010717/0191.html)

Bei Jyra hält man den derzeitigen Kurs für extrem niedrig und denkt, dass das Ganze in 3-4 Wochen bereits anders aussieht. (Zum einen weil die Sonderfaktoren durch Verkäufe wegfallen (der angebliche Aktionär aus "Übersee", der aus "steuerlichen Gründen" verkauft haben soll), zum anderen weil sich der Markt allgemein wieder etwas beruhigen dürfte und desweiteren weil man in den nächsten 2-3 Wochen Abschlüsse von Deals erwartet.
Risiko nach unten ist jedenfalls kaum da. Eine mögliche Aufwärtsbewegung hängt einzig und allein davon ab, ob man neue Investoren begeistern kann - und gerade das ist eben in Vorbereitung.

Inwieweit es sonst am Gesamtmarkt ausieht, brauche ich ja wohl niemandem zu sagen. Keynote weiterhin unter 10 $, Mircomuse ist gestern (erneut) "downgraded" - heruntergestuft - worden in einer Analystenbewertung, ist jetzt unter 20 $ und damit beim ca 1/3 seiner einstiger Bewertung.

Ich poste trotzdem unterstehend einen lesenswerten Artikel (!) zur Lage des Technologiemarktes und seines "verheerenden Absturzes".
(Ein Grund, warum ich meistens den gesamten Text von Artikeln ins Board setze ist, dass sie nach einiger Zeit machmal nicht mehr online bei der entsprechenden Webseite zur Verfügung stehen)

P.S.
um dem Eindruck entgegenzuwirken, ich würde hier nur mit mir selbst reden:
"meine" Infos sind die Recherchen eines Teams von mehreren Leuten, deren eingeholten Infos ich hier somit ebenfalls wiedergebe.

Has the Net Stopped Growing?
By Jason Krause


As CEO of Nortel, John Roth had the unfortunate duty to tell the world two weeks ago that his company was about to report one of the most disastrous quarters in business history, a loss of more than $19 billion. But as he tried to explain what`s gone wrong with his company, whose equipment carries three-quarters of Internet traffic in the United States, Roth threw in an almost offhand comment: Nortel, he said, had seen Internet traffic decline for the first time in history.

Roth was probably just doing what any responsible CEO might in his situation - blame the industry for his company`s woes. But in doing so, he called into question one of the fundamental tenets of the Internet. For almost anyone in the industry, the suggestion that online traffic could be declining is a shocker - the Internet has been claiming some of the most fantastic growth rates in the history of business. Days later, Joe Nacchio, CEO of Qwest (one of Nortel`s best customers) held an angry conference call in part to refute Roth`s statement about traffic, which he called "legally misleading." He added, "I don`t know who they were talking to, because ours is up 46 percent."

Nortel has since admitted that Roth overstated the case. What he meant, say the spinners, was that just a small segment of the market was shrinking, and Nortel did not see the negative trend continuing. But it`s too late now - Roth`s comment revealed a telecommunications industry racked with anxiety, and for good reason. The once indefatigable Internet sector has turned into a slaughterhouse. The financial markets have almost completely turned their backs on the builders of the Internet, the telecom companies, which are staggering under backbreaking loads of debt and facing a dearth of services that could boost flagging revenues. With countless companies dropping off the face of the earth, it makes perfect sense to wonder if the phenomenal growth of the Internet is over.

Actually determining how much traffic traverses the Net and placing it in context isn`t easy. After all, early growth estimates and incredible hype were carelessly entwined, repeated, amplified and spread by media outlets and popular pundits like George Gilder. Soon, certain presumptions became accepted fact, most notably that the Internet was doubling in the amount of traffic it carried every few months. (Most reasonable observers now think Internet traffic was doubling every 10 to 14 months at its peak.) It`s impossible to know just how many leaky business plans were launched on this premise.

And the hype continued. From 1999 to 2000, most Internet networking companies claimed they saw traffic increasing at rates anywhere from 200 percent to 800 percent annually. Though few people were willing or able to bust the myths about Internet traffic two years ago, it`s difficult to find anyone who will stick up for the estimates today. "I guess this is an opportunity to set the record straight," says Jim Crowe, CEO of Level 3, one of the leading carriers of Internet traffic, which laid off 25 percent of its staff a week ago in an effort to survive the carnage. "I have been associated with the Gilder crowd and the notion that traffic would double every four months. What I actually said, back when I was associated with [Internet networking company] UUNet, was that that company`s traffic was doubling every four months. But that was a far cry from saying that global traffic was doing that."

Changing traffic patterns are further confusing the issue. In the early days of the Internet, every time a person went online, even just to e-mail somebody across the room, that transmission likely went out onto the public Internet, perhaps across the country or even across an ocean, before being routed to its destination.

But the Internet has matured, so more traffic is staying close to where it originates. In fact, UUNet reported that between 1997 and 1999, 30 percent of all U.S. traffic never crossed the national infrastructure but stayed within a local metropolitan network. And many smaller countries have built out their own Internet networks, which means less international traffic is routing through the United States. You can`t look at just traffic on the national backbone to gauge Net use.

So the good news is that Internet traffic continues to rise at a relatively healthy clip - a rate that, in fact, would make any other industry sick with envy. Most analysts still see 50 percent to 100 percent annual growth in most regions.

The bad news is that even this kind of positive growth can`t sustain the number of companies competing in the Internet business, and hundreds of them will go bankrupt before the industry regains its health. "I see a bloodbath," says Hugh Martin, CEO of ONI, a maker of networking equipment. "This is a 10- to 15-year problem."

Some $70 billion has been spent in the past few years on the long-haul Internet infrastructure. And an astonishing $240 billion in high-yield debt has been dumped into telecom carriers over the same period. That easily eclipses the amount of junk debt sold in the 1980s, when Michael Milken and Wall Street arbitrage firms used high-risk bonds to finance takeovers and leverage buyouts.

Some 295 communications companies were funded in the past 18 months just to build the switches, routers and other gear used to run fiber-optic networks, according to venture capitalists Blueprint Ventures. But Merrill Lynch calculates that spending by telecoms on optical communications will be only $8.8 billion this year, and not much more than that next year. "I can attest to the fact that every one of them is promising $100 million in revenue by 2002," says Brian Kinard, a partner with Blueprint Ventures. "Do the math, it just can`t happen."

The major presumption driving the growth of these businesses is that the need for more capacity on the Internet would grow exponentially, through the widespread adoption of bandwidth-sucking applications such as virtual private networks and video conferencing.

But the question now is, how badly has the industry overshot reality? More specifically, how much more capacity is in networks than consumers will ever need?

A number of telecommunications analysts, perhaps looking to prove just how meticulously they cover the industry, have taken to counting the number of fibers in every optical network that every telecommunications company has laid. Getting even more anal retentive, many have taken to counting how many of these fibers are "lit" - hooked up to equipment and carrying Internet traffic. What they have found is that only a tiny fraction of fibers are lit - as little as 3 percent by some estimates. That seems to indicate a shocking overcapacity. In fact, according to telecommunications research firm Probe Research, perhaps only 14 percent of the fiber laid across the Atlantic may ever be needed. In some markets, the problem is even worse.

But carriers complain that counting fibers oversimplifies the problem. For every dollar spent digging a trench and laying fiber, it will cost several more dollars to pay for the equipment and labor necessary to actually light and run a network. And since the financial markets have largely stopped lending money to telecommunications companies, it`s difficult to light all that dark fiber.

"The game is not to see how much fiber you can put in the ground, the game is how well you actually run a network," says Qwest COO Afshen Mohebbi. "I don`t care if someone has 99 conduits for fiber in the ground. Maybe you could lease them to the sewer department, but until you have customers paying you to carry traffic through the network, it doesn`t mean a thing."

Level 3 estimates it would take $500 billion to light all the fiber that companies have laid. What that means is that while there is little opportunity for anyone to break into the business as an Internet provider for years to come, there will eventually be a shortage unless those networks can be lit.

Also, while carriers have too much fiber on long-haul routes that cross countries and traverse oceans, there is not enough in local networks, the systems that service metropolitan areas. Until that imbalance is solved, consumers will not see much benefit from the existing fiber.

The problem for the carriers (and subsequently, the manufacturers) is that despite years of hype and promise, no one has introduced an Internet service or application that has dramatically increased the need for bandwidth. The closest thing the industry has had is the music-swapping service Napster, which is now dying. According to telecommunications consulting firm Adventis, at the height of Napster`s popularity the service was using about 5 percent of the network capacity available in the United States. That percentage has never been approached by any other service.

Over the past few years, hundreds of entrepreneurs have tried to convince investors they had what could be a wildly popular Internet service for consumers. They`ve been less than convincing. "There is no killer application; I don`t think we`re close," says Karyn Mashima, VP of strategy with Avaya, a software company for the telecommunications industry. "The only interesting thing I`ve seen anyone doing lately is on mobile phones. ... But what`s that about: People downloading cartoons, and boyfriends sending good-night messages to their girlfriends."

Without a big draw, it was inevitable that growth on the Web would slow, and probably continue to do so for a while. Cable broadband company Excite@Home has found that the average time customers spend online decreased by 32 percent last year. And DSL companies have found that the number of people coming online has leveled off abruptly. With the disappearance of alternative Internet providers like the bankrupt NorthPoint Communications, the only option for many people looking to get fast online connections are local phone monopolies like SBC, which have significantly raised prices for service.

"I don`t want to necessarily draw a direct line between the fact that NorthPoint`s gone out of business and Covad`s struggling with SBC raising their prices," says Mike Lunsford, executive VP of broadband at EarthLink. "But it seems like a pretty close relationship, doesn`t it?"

Business services also have yet to provide a cure for the industry. There has been so much competition to offer services that showed a lot of promise, such as Web hosting and virtual private networking, that most of these offerings have been sale-priced before they even take off, making it nearly impossible to generate a profit. That`s in part because equipment makers like Nortel have been able to increase the amount of data these networks can carry and dramatically lower costs, which has led to pricing pressures. "I just sit there, and Nortel shows up every year with equipment that quadruples my capacity for the same price," says Paul Gudonis, CEO of Genuity.

By now Internet companies have embraced this decline - according to Level 3`s business plan, the company expects its prices to drop 25 percent every year - something few industries could deal with. But to compensate for these declines, Internet service providers need to put more traffic from paying customers over their networks. Most of the services will simply replace the things older telecommunications companies do, but at a lower cost. Already, Internet phone traffic is starting to take off, and applications like virtual private networks are replacing leased private lines.

Yes, the Internet is still growing. But many of the companies that helped build it are not.

No one thinks the industry will right itself anytime soon, because years of recovery are needed. The market has to be weeded down to a rational number of companies so prices can stabilize. The financial markets, whose wholesale abandonment of the sector brought on this crash landing, will have to get over their aversion to all things telecom. Unless some money flows back into the sector, the new networks and services needed to keep the Net growing and return the industry to health won`t be produced.

It won`t be a pretty sight, but once the devastation is over, someone might actually make money off the Net.

"We may have overcapacity now, but the pendulum will swing back the other way," says Level 3`s Crowe. "The seeds of a shortage are sewn by excess. Now we have to set ourselves up for recovery."

Jyra Appoints Industry Figure as New Sales Director

High-Profile Industry Veteran Brought on Board to Execute Sales Strategy

London, UK - 3 August 2001: Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a leading provider of Quality of Experience and content delivery assurance solutions today announced the expansion of its sales capability and coverage with a new targeted sales team headed up by Stewart Boddy, who is appointed as Sales Director. Mr Boddy brings extensive experience in senior management positions with major technology companies including Infovista and NetScout Systems.

[Antarius]

@gourmet:
wieso nur einen Teil der PR?,

hier das Fehlende
. . .


Mr. Boddy has more than 12 years experience developing and executing strategic software sales initiatives to major International corporations and Telecommunications companies. Mr Boddy`s experience has been gained with companies in Jyra`s sector. In each case he has a record of both increasing sales revenue and increasing the value derived from individual customers. Mr. Boddy will enforce the reliable and successful execution of Jyra`s corporate sales strategy and is a key addition to the company`s management team.

Mr Boddy served as Director N. Europe & Scandinavia for InfoVista UK Ltd. where he had been responsible for recruiting a sales team and launching their products into the UK. Growing the UK business twenty fold from a near standing start in the first Financial Year with a planned and realisable growth of 300% the following Financial Year. Prior to Infovista Mr. Boddy was Director EMEA for NetScout Systems (formerly Frontier Systems) where he was responsible for opening the sales and support organization in Europe in April 1996. The run rate for the UK sales increased by approximately five fold in the 3 years from 1996, reaching in excess of $10 million in 1999.

``I am thrilled to be joining Jyra at such an exciting time in its corporate life,`` said Stewart Boddy. ``Jyra`s Quality of Experience solutions have gained a great deal of momentum in the industry by providing a simple effective solution to monitoring services in a way that is meaningful and relates directly to customer satisfaction``

The Company`s management believe that Mr. Boddy`s knowledge and understanding of the market for Jyra`s solutions, his enthusiasm for new business in start up situations and his record of success with new products and major customers make joining Jyra for him a natural choice. The Company is delighted to have a Sales Director of Mr Boddy`s calibre and to have identified someone whose abilities dovetail so effectively with its own requirements.

``Stewart thrives in a new business, near start-up environment, and has a track record of rapidly building tangible multi million dollar revenues streams. As we continue to scale our sales organization, we look forward to tremendous contributions from Stewart and his team.`` said Archie Adams Chief Executive at Jyra. ``We believe Jyra can immediately benefit from the success Stewart has had selling to our target vertical markets, notably specific telcos and financial institutions.``

Mr Boddy has also recruited a team of senior sales executives to rapidly expand business and opportunity in each of the company`s chosen vertical sectors of Mobile Operators, Telecommunications Companies, Independent solution providers, Financial, Manufacturing and Retail. The initial sales appointments were completed in June and members of the team were each selected by Mr Boddy for their commercial acumen and extensive experience in selling high value business solutions in their specific sectors.

Jyra`s attraction for these high calibre sales professionals is the business opportunity provided by the company and its products. Jyra`s selection by such companies as BT Cellnet provides significant industry credibility and a platform from which to build revenues.

Klingt ja echt gut, nur . . . "alte Veteranen" lockt das nicht hinter dem Ofen (zum event. Nachkaufen) hervor, uns fehlt der Glaube an bessere zukünftige Zeiten und revenues-revenues- revenues ! ! ! , denn (leider) wollen wir nur noch diese sehen, alles andere ist - pardon - "alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen" - denn leider sind wir nun mal aus leidvollen Jyraerfahrungen voller "negativer Vorurteile", ist auch nicht verwunderlich, wenn alle (deutsche Kleinanleger, die noch dabei sind) mind. "im Buch" schlichtweg bankrott sind!
Die weiterhin fehlende InvestorRelationship tut das Übrige . . . Gebärden einer "privaten Aktiengesellschaft".

Wäre mal interessant zu erfahren, wieso der "neue" - " " wegen: hatte ich schon vor 3 Wochen hier gepostet! - Verkaufsdirektor von NetScout Systems "rübergekommen ist", ist doch echte Jyrakonkurrenz (gewesen?)

In:
" . . . Jyra`s solutions has led to success and an extensive list of Blue Chip customers, including BT Cellnet, The CarPhone Warehouse, TeleDanmark, Cap Gemini and Yipes. "

wird weder CISCO noch RIVERSOFT noch Convergent Network Solutions (CNS)( siehe PR vom 8.Mai diesen Jahres) und andere erwähnt, zu denen es mal PRs gab.
Frage: wieso?
Wahllos zusammengewürfelte Namen oder was soll das?
TeleDanmark ? gähn . . .

Mitte August werden ja wieder die "Hosen runtergelassen", dann woll`n wir mal sehen . . . was wiedermal Sache ist b.z.w. wiedermal nicht (?)

@antarius: damit hast du absolut recht. nach soviel vorleistung seitens der investoren steht nun jyra in der pflicht. aber genauso sicher ist, daß bei erreichen des break evens einiges an geld in jyra fließen würde.
viele grüße
gourmet

[Cenix]

Antarius,
Cisco, Riversoft und CNS werden nicht erwähnt, da sie keine
Kunden sind, sondern "lediglich" Vertriebspartner, d.h. mit
diesen Firmen kooperiert man beim Verkauf, sie haben aber
selbst keine Software von Jyra gekauft. Die in der PR genannten
sind ja die "BlueChip-customers".

Tele Danmark soll wohl der Kunde sein, der im August ein
größeres Lizenz-Update durchziehen will. Seltsam finde ich
aber, daß Carphone als Kunde erwähnt wird - eine separate
Meldung zu diesem Deal gab es nicht, obwohl Carphone schon
seit Mitte 2000 Kunde ist.

Desweiteren fehlt in der BlueChip-Liste die BAA (British
Airport Authority), die ihren Online-Flugticketverkauf mit
Jyra SMS monitoren.

Ansonsten: klar, wir wissen alle daß Umsätze hermüssen, aber
wir wissen auch alle, daß das Umfeld derzeit denkbar schlecht
ist (siehe Gewinnwarnung Micromuse). Wir können daher wohl
wirklich nur darauf setzen, daß Stewart das Ding rausreißt.
Wenn er es bei Infovista und Netscout schon gemacht hat -
warum nicht auch hier.

Eigentlich kann es nur nach oben gehen. Durch den wieder
anziehenden Path1-Kurs scheint auch die Finanzierung wieder
gesichert zu sein.

Gruß,
Cenix

@Cenix,
schön mal wieder was von Dir zu hören . . .,
. . . Cisco ist immerhin massiv auf den Webseiten von NetScout und Keynote vertreten (!!) (?)

ich habe eben mal ein wenig zu "Carphone" recherchiert:

The Phone House - Unternehmensprofil

Strategie in Europa

The Phone House Deutschland ist Teil des The-Phone-House-Netzwerks, welches mit The Carphone Warehouse vor mehr als 10 Jahren in Großbritannien seinen Ursprung nahm und seitdem seine Präsenz auf 15 Länder Kontinentaleuropas ausgedehnt hat. Das Unternehmen beschäftigt derzeit mehr alsr 5.000 Mitarbeiter in weit über 1000 Filialen in Großbritannien, Irland, Spanien, Schweden, den Niederlanden, Belgien, Polen, Tschechien, Portugal, Italien, Deutschland, Türkei, Israel, Österreich, Frankreich, Schweiz und in Ungarn.

In Europa ist The Phone House der größte unabhängige Filialist mobiler Kommunikationstechnologie. Seit der Firmengründung konnten europaweit mehr als 1.000.000 Verbindungen verbucht werden. Dieser Erfolg gründet sich auf eine unerreichte Stellung innerhalb der Branche.
. . .

The Phone House ist in Großbritannien die Nr.1 im Bereich mobile Kommunikation.
Ziel des Unternehmens ist es, diese Stellung in ganz Europa zu erreichen, um in jedem Land führender Anbieter in der mobilen Kommunikation zu werden. Zusätzlich werden durch die Einführung einer gesamteuropäischen Webpage neue Kommunikationskanäle in allen betreuten Ländern erschlossen. The Phone House expandiert weiter auf europäischer und vor allem deutscher Ebene. Allein dort wurden bis Ende des Jahres 2000 85 Shops insgesamt eröffnet, um den Kunden den The Phone House-Service näher zu bringen.
. . .

Anpassung an den Markt

Die erste große Umstellung wurde bereits mit der Expansion von The Carphone Warehouse auf das europäische Festland vorgenommen. Der Name des Unternehmens war außerhalb Englands und Irlands schwer zu verstehen und wurde daher in The Phone House geändert.

Die zentrale Philosophie des Unternehmens, eine einfache und unabhängige Beratung anzubieten, wurde in ganz Europa aufgenommen. Jedes europäische Land arbeitet mit anderen Netzwerken, deshalb werden die gesamten Einweisungen, das Merchandising, das Marketing und die Literatur entsprechend angepasst. Ferner verzeichnete der Markt der mobilen Kommunikation höchst unterschiedliche Zuwachsraten in Europa. Während in Schweden ungefähr 58 Prozent der Bevölkerung in Besitz eines Handys sind, ist beispielsweise der Markt in Tschechien noch im Aufbau begriffen.

The Phone House hat derartige Faktoren schon immer berücksichtigt und deswegen sein Verkaufs - EDV System, das Merchandising und die Produktpalette gemäß dieser Vorgaben maßgeschneidert. Es ist genau diese Anpassungsfähigkeit in Verbindung mit einem starken und positiv besetzten Markenimage, das eine Expansion des Unternehmens in so kurzer Zeit und derart großem Umfang ermöglicht hat.

The Phone House nimmt neue Marktentwicklungen aktiv auf und ist stolz darauf, seinen Kunden neue Technologien als Vorreiter anbieten zu können (z.B. die neuesten Entwicklungen im Bereich WAP).

06.08.2001: E-Commerce setzt sich weltweit durch, FC Research


Nach einer sensationell guten Wertentwicklung im Jahr 1999 (plus 225,5 Prozent) habe der Nordinternet (WKN 978530) seinen Anlegern im Jahr 2000 (minus 60,9 Prozent) und im Jahr 2001 (bisher minus 55,1 Prozent) weniger Freude bereitet. "Die nachhaltige konjunkturelle Abschwächung in den USA erfasste die Internet-Titel in vollem Umfang", erklärt der verantwortliche Fondsmanager Volker Kuhnwald gegenüber den Analysten von FC Research die enttäuschende Wertentwicklung seines Produkts.. Da diese high-growth-stocks besonders empfindlich auf konjunkturelle Veränderungen reagierten, und die Krisenfestigkeit vieler junger Unternehmen aus diesem Bereich ernsthaft in die Diskussion geraten sei,
hätten in diesem Sektor überwiegend dramatische Kursverluste hingenommen werden müssen. Da der Nordinternet als Branchenfonds immer einen hohen Investitionsgrad aufweise, habe sich dieser Fonds den Kursrückgängen nicht entziehen können.

Nach Einschätzung der Analysten von FC Research sei ein Grund für die schwache Performance des Nordinternet in den vergangenen zwei Jahren sicherlich dem Umstand zu verdanken, dass der E-Commerce-Sektor sehr stark gewichtet sei. Beginnend mit den B2C-Aktien sei laut Kuhnwald jeder Internet-Sektor in den Abwärtsstrudel geraten. "Lange Zeit galten Unternehmen aus dem Bereich B2B-Software und Sicherheits-Software als relativ konjunkturresistent, was sich allerdings angesichts tiefgreifender IT-Budget-Reduzierungen, die widersinnigerweise auch vor kostensparenden Projekten nicht halt machte, als Trugschluss erwies", so der Nordinvest-Experte im Gespräch mit FC Research.
Andererseits dürften seiner Meinung nach auch aus heutiger Sicht Titel aus diesen Segmenten am stärksten von einer konjunkturellen Erholung profitieren.

Die jüngsten Ergebnisse von Brodvision und Commerce One ließen für den E-Commerce-Sektor nichts Gutes erahnen. Trotzdem gibt sich Kuhnwald für den Bereich optimistisch: "Unseres Erachtens ist eskeine Frage, dass sich E-Commerce weltweit durchsetzt. Naturgemäß werden davon aber vor allem die Marktführer und erfolgreiche Nischenanbieter profitieren, während zweit- und drittklassige Unternehmen den Marktbereinigungsprozessen zum Opfer fallen", prognostiziert der Fondsmanager.

Der Nordinternet sei zu 99,9 Prozent in den USA investiert. "In der gegenwärtigen
Konsolidierungsphase fokussiert sich die Anlagepolitik auf Unternehmen mit originären
Geschäftsmodellen, die sich auf großen Märkten tummeln. Darüber hinaus gehen wir davon aus, dass eine konjunkturelle Erholung zuerst in den USA erfolgen wird", erläutert Kuhnwald die Ländergewichtung.

Durch die starke Ausrichtung auf die USA sei die konjunkturelle Entwicklung dort von entscheidender Bedeutung für den Nordinternet. "Derzeit erwarten wir für 2002 eine konjunkturelle Erholung in den USA, die sich im vierten Quartal 2001 schon andeuten könnte", so der Portfolio-Stratege.

Unter den größten Fondspositionen fänden sich so bekannte Titel wie Ebay, Versign, Bea Systems, Check Point Software oder I2 Technologies. Nach Aussage von Kuhnwald handle es sich bei diesen
Titeln mit Ausnahme von I2, die mittlerweile spürbar reduziert worden seien, um die Marktführer in den jeweiligen Bereichen, die gestärkt aus der derzeitigen Konsolidierungsphase hervorgehen sollten.
Aufnahmekriterien seien neben einem erfolgversprechenden Geschäftsmodell vor allem Qualität und Originärität des Produkts, die Qualität des Managements, bestehende Markteintrittsbarrieren für Mitbewerber sowie Anzahl und Qualität (potenzieller) Mitbewerber. "Neu aufgenommen beziehungsweise verstärkt wurden Titel aus dem Infrastrukturbereich sowie dem B2C-Sektor.
Reduziert beziehungsweise verkauft wurden die Aktien solcher Unternehmen, deren
Wettbewerbssituation sich verschlechtert hat oder die auch die bereits reduzierten Erwartungen im zweiten Quartal verfehlt haben, erklärt der Nordinvest-Fondsprofi im Gespräch mit den Analysten von FC Research.

"Als Kapitalanlagegesellschaft dürfen wir keine Anlageberatung betreiben", so Kuhnwald auf die Frage, ob er Anlegern zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt zu einem Investment in den Nordinternet raten würde.
Grundsätzlich gelte seiner Meinung nach sicherlich, dass sich antizyklisches Handeln häufig bewähre.
Zentrale Voraussetzung für einen nachhaltigen Aufwärtstrend an den Börsen sei sicherlich eine nachhaltige Konjunktur-Erholung. "Da Wertpapiermärkte häufig solche Entwicklungen antizipieren, gilt derzeit die Aufmerksamkeit vieler Analysten den amerikanischen Frühindikatoren, die sich im Juni überwiegend positiv und/oder besser als erwartet entwickelt hatten", bemerkt der Manager abschließend.

Interessant ist bei den case studies auch, daß Thomson
Travel und somit der größte europäische Touristik-Konzern
Kunde bei Jyra ist. Das war auch mir bislang nicht bekannt.

Alles in allem merkt man aber schon spürbar den neuen Wind,
den Stewart Boddy reingebracht hat. Die Stärken Jyra`s und
vor allem die erstklassigen Referenzen werden jetzt endlich
richtig ausgeschlachtet.

Es ist m.E. nicht gerechtfertigt, daß Jyra zu einem so
deutlichen Discount im Vergleich zu Path1 gehandelt wird.

@cenix:

hat Jyra denn industrielle Beteiligungen (analog Leitch etc.)? Hat ein Mitbewerber von Path1 so viele Kunden mit
einer ähnlich guten Technik gewinnen können (Micromuse,
Keynote etc.) und hat Path1 seine Aktionäre an der Nase
herumgeführt (wie z.B. Archie usw.)?.

Na also.

Good buy

[Cenix]

Jyra hat keinen strategischen Investor und hat auch mehr
Konkurrenz - das ist richtig. Was das Management angeht,
glaube ich nicht, daß Path 1 soviel strukturierter ist.

Was Jyra aber hat ist klar: einen Markt, der existiert und
der groß ist. Bei Path1 stellt sich letztlich die Frage,
wann der Markt denn endlich anfängt zu existieren. Produkte
werden ja schließlich (auch durch Konkurrenten) noch nicht
verkauft. Auf den Startschuß warten wir hier auch nicht erst
seit gestern. Zahlende Kunden hat Path noch keine (BarcoNet
ersetzt nur Entwicklungskosten, die als Umsatz verbucht
werden und Leitch zahlt nur für Prototypen, die bezüglich
der Integration in die eigenen Produkte getestet wurden).

Jyra hat daher den Vorteil, daß man mit guten Referenzkunden
und einer soliden Sales-Truppe relativ rasch Geld verdienen
kann. Zugegebenermaßen hatte man damit in der Vergangenheit
Probleme. Dies ist jetzt aber auch voll im Kurs reflektiert
und das Chance/Risiko-Profil ist weit attraktiver als das
von Path1.

Das ist der Grund, warum ich derzeit eher auf dieses Pferd
setze.

JYRA RESEARCH INC (JYRA.OB)
Quarterly Report (SEC form 10-Q)
Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which reflect the Company`s current judgement on those issues. Because such statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW


Jyra Research Inc. ("Jyra" or the "Company") was incorporated on May 2, 1996, is now a market leader in Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring and measurement software solutions. Jyra is defining the QoE monitoring and measurement market and helping to lead the way in the constant endeavour for sustainable and profitable business models in the New Economy. Jyra has developed Service Management Solution for providing direct measurement of the quality of experience of applications and network performance. This allows customers to effectively deliver reliable and fast e-commerce services, implement tangible service level agreements (SLAs), and to measure the improvements which technology investment has on user response time and hence business efficiency. In an ever more competitive market, customers demand a quality of experience if they are to make use of a network and internet based services. We believe that the quality of services and the success of such services are linked.

A user`s view or experience is determined by how quickly from the time he presses the keypad the information appears on the screen regardless of whether the data or application is coming from a local or global network. Users do not care how complex an issue; it is to deliver the information they just want it quickly. The network from the user perspective is invisible, the information delivered through the application could just as easily come from a remote server as a local disk. We believe that the content of the application and the effectiveness of its delivery become the only important metrics.

Jyra`s solution provides users Quality of Experience information with the benefit of being able to pin point errors in a network that are affecting the users experience. A Jyra solution can provide a complete view of the service being offered by a global network.


The Jyra Solution has the following primary characteristics:

Application performance monitoring from the user`s perspective

Distributed scaleable architecture, which means that the tasks of monitoring, reporting, summarisation and control are distributed throughout the infrastructure to minimise the effects on that infrastructure

Java based architecture which provides portability, flexibility and network awareness

Web based reporting and control

Business oriented reporting and configuration

Software runs on a standard low cost Intel/ Microsoft NT platform and operates with little or no human assistance.


The Jyra Solution is a new way of addressing the problems of delivering a high quality controllable application service over today`s networks. Jyra`s customers are typically organizations offering and relying on a service for their commercial success. Their business prospects and the quality of the service they offer are closely connected.

In addition Jyra wireless solutions are being used to test performance of next generation interactive mobile services such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) - data over mobile telephones, as well as WAP based services. Performance of wireless applications is increasingly regarded as a differentiator for mobile telecommunication companies delivering innovative interactive services. Now, as a result of GPRS, mobile telecommunication companies can deliver high bandwidth services but must focus on delivering quality of service and improved content.


Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont)


BT Cellnet purchased significant quantities of the Jyra product in the first quarter of 2001. BT Cellnet are using Jyra`s product to monitor performance of GPRS services across their wireless network. This win was strategic both in terms of Jyra`s position within this account but also in terms of providing us with a world class reference with which we can address the wider fast emerging market for wireless performance solutions. During 2001 one of the sectors we shall be focussing on is the wireless market, we believe that the BT Cellnet relationship will add significant value to our proposition to other wireless operators.

During the second quarter 2001 the Company built a sales team capable of capitalizing on the position we believe the Company holds in the market, and such strategic wins as BT Cellnet. The Company`s recruitment process was aided by the economic down turn in the Technology sector and specifically by the fall in demand from the heavily funded dot.com companies for key sales staff. Knowing the favourable recruitment conditions for recruiting quality sales personnel at economic rates Management took considerable time, effort, and an acceptable level of expense to recruit sales executives with a track record of solid sales performance.

The Company initially focussed on securing a Sales Director, and was successful in attracting Stewart Boddy. Mr. Boddy brings 12 years` experience in senior management positions with major technology companies including Infovista and NetScout Systems. Mr. Boddy has a strong background in building revenue from the ground up and has succeeded in doing so twice in the past, on both occasions with companies in Jyra`s sector.

With Mr Boddy on board the Company then recruited a team of senior sales executives to rapidly expand business and opportunity in each of the Company`s chosen vertical sectors of; Mobile Operators; Telecommunications; Independent Solution Providers; Financial, Manufacturing; and Retail. The initial sales executive appointments were completed in June and members of the team were each selected for their commercial acumen and extensive experience in selling high value business solutions in their specific sectors.

Jyra`s attraction for these high caliber sales professionals is the business opportunity provided by the Company`s products and it`s customer base which includes world class customers in each of the target sectors including company`s such as BT Cellnet, The CarPhone Warehouse, TeleDanmark, Cap Gemini, BAA, and Yipes. Jyra`s selection by such companies provides significant industry credibility and a platform from which to build revenues. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2001 the foundations of high quality team are now in place to exploit the opportunity in each sector.








Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont)


Since the Company embarked upon the new wave of its sales recruitment process the Company has seen a significant increase in many of the sales metrics it tracks. In this short period the numbers of major customer visits, proposals issued, proof of concepts begun, requests from existing customer`s for software solution upgrades, request for maintenance renewals are all increasing as most importantly is the average value of customer proposals. This along with the continuing development of sales strategies based upon our new sales teams previous experience leaves the Company optimistic of it`s sales performance.

The Company`s renewed sales activity and the strong senior level contact base furnished by the new sales team lead the Management to expect a strong growth trend to emerge in the third quarter.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased by 146% to $273,839 compared to $111,031 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by 16% to $631,245 compared to $545,988 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Management is seeing a clear trend emerge encompassing both larger deals and a stronger pipeline of sales opportunity. Revenue in the second quarter 2001 was $273,839 compared to $357,406 in the first quarter 2001, Management attribute the reduction to the sudden general World wide slow down in technology sales and to the Company`s focus on building the sales team during the quarter.

Sales and Marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased by 51% to $377,535 compared to $250,085 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Sales and Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by 54% to $756,356 compared to $492,650 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in Sales and Marketing expenditure was due to the cost associated with recruiting and employing additional salesmen. We anticipate that this trend will continue during 2001 as the Company continues builds its sales team.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 decreased by 12% to $140,772 compared to $160,594 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by 9% to $261,819 compared to $289,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Research and Development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 decreased by 5% to $270,272 compared to $285,844 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Research and Development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by 9% to $504,480 compared to $551,935 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company continued to work on its existing development program, and is actively recruiting additional development staff. We believe that our Research and Development expense will increase during 2001 especially as a result of additional key hires in our development team.



Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (cont)


Interest income was $9,465 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The interest was generated from funds held on deposit and fixed term of one month or less.


Earnings(Loss) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 was ($0.06). The number of weighted average common shares outstanding was 14,677,586.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Net cash used by operating activities was $1,603,149 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The primary expenditure of this cash was to fund the operating expenses offset against initial revenue adjusted for depreciation, offset by Prepaid Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accounts receivable.

Net cash received from investing activities was $31,139 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. These funds were principally received as a result of the disposal of certain property and equipment. In addition $314,651 was generated from the sale of available for sale securities.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company`s principal sources of liquidity included cash and available for sale securities totalling $1,753,248. The Company currently has no outstanding bank borrowings and has no established lines of credit. The Company continues to meet its working capital requirements through its product sales revenue and financing transactions involving the private placement of equity securities.

Management`s Business Plan for 2001 continues on from the one in place during 2000 and is heavily geared towards implementing an aggressive Sales & Marketing strategy to capitalise on its leading technology. The Company plans to fund its aggressive campaign through a mixture of sales revenue, strategic alliances and equity funding.

We believe that we will have sufficient working capital to fund current levels of operations for the next 12 months, assuming the Company receives at least $3 million from product sales and financing transactions involving the private placement of equity securities. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds. The Company establishes its expenditure level based upon its expectations as future revenues and if revenue levels were below expectations this could cause expenses to be disproportionately high. Therefore, a decrease in near term demand or insufficient level of equity funding would adversely affect the Company`s results of operations in 2001/2.

In addition, in the event that the Company receives a larger than anticipated number of purchase orders the Company may require resources greater than our available cash or than are otherwise available. In such event, the Company may be required to raise additional capital. The Company believes that, if needed, it will be able to obtain additional funds required for future needs.

Share exchange with Path 1 Network Technologies Inc.

The Company entered into an agreement dated March 16, 1998 (the "Agreement") with Path 1 Network Technologies Inc. ("Path 1"). Path 1 was incorporated on January 30, 1998 under the laws of Delaware.

Path 1 is a leading provider of enabling technology for Real Time Interactive Multi-media over computer networks. The Path 1 patent-pending TrueCircuit technology makes it easy to deliver live interactive video and other applications that require guaranteed quality of service. As networks acquire greater bandwidth and users demand more services, the need for these applications is growing.

During January 2001 our Board agreed that we will look to maximise our financial return from the Corporation`s interest in Path1, the only quoted shares that the Corporation currently owns. The Board authorised the gradual reduction of the shareholding, in an orderly fashion over time. The Board gave its irrevocable and unanimous consent and authorisation for the initiation and completion of various disposals over time in respect of the Corporation`s total holding of 277,018 shares in Path 1 Technologies Inc. As at July 27, 2001 we held 216,000 Path 1 with a gross value of $1,090,800.

(ich war ein paar Tage verreist)
zu den QZ brauche ich mich wohl nicht zu äußern :O,
"everything goes fine" und "we are very busy", ja ja, dass mit den "Teufelskerlen" (Zitat R.v. Kamer) war`s wohl nicht; bleibt uns wohl nur abzuwarten, was die Neuen mit der "agressiven Verkaufsstrategie" in einem -zugegebenermaßen sehr schwierigen Marktumfeld zur Zeit - so zustande bringen werden.
Was das "schwierige Marktumfeld" angeht als ein Beispiel dazu (ich bin ja auch in Path1 investiert und z.Z. mit Beiträgen mehr dort auf dem WO-Path1 Diskussionsboard zu finden):
"In addition, Enron -- which has blazed a trail in energy and natural gas wholesaling -- has hit its first major snag: its broadband project has, up to now, been a complete failure. The Broadband Services division accounted for just 0.12 percent of the company`s $50.1 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2001; that division lost $137 million before interest and taxes in the second quarter. In its latest 10-Q filing, the company states: "Enron is significantly modifying the cost structure of Broadband Services to correspond to slower market development and the associated lower revenue outlook.... Enron expects losses to continue through at least 2001 in the Broadband Services segment. Future profitability is dependent on the recovery of the broadband and communications sectors."
(Quelle: http://www.redherring.com/index.asp?layout=story&channel=200…)

Was Jyra angeht, frage ich mich manchmal wie sie eigentlich "neue Investorenkreisen" also neue Aktionäre finden wollen bei dem Investorrelationship- Trümmerhaufen, den sie hinterlassen haben b.z.w. ihn auch nicht beiseite räumen; bleibt zu hoffen, dass ihnen diesbezüglich nicht ihr schlechter Ruf vorauseilt!
Immerhin hat Mr. Kamer - bibber-bibber - in seinem vor einigen Tagen (16.8.)erschienenen neuen Newsletter keine Sellorder für Jyra (u. Path1) gegeben - aber für 9 !! Positionen "an immediate sell-order"; was den allgemeinen Markt angeht ist Kamer: "He isn`t positiv about the future. He expects shares to fall another 25% before the bottom is reached. At the moment there sure aren`t any cheap shares, in spite of the fall of the last months."

Wäre mal wieder angebracht einen Blick über den "Tellerrand von Jyra" zu werfen, der keine "Entschuldigung" für Jyra sein sollte und die Manipulation der Aktie am OTC ( mit z.B. 200 Stück Umsatz = -11% vor 3 Tagen und am folgenden Tag mit 44.000 Stück Umsatz = +11% ! - solange sich die Aktie wie auch andere z.B. Path1 an der OTC befinden und der Börsenmarkt weiterhin so schlecht bleibt können wir das Ganze sowieso vergessen!)
sondern bestenfalls ein "Trost", wenn man sieht "wie es anderen geht":

Micromuse wird wohl z.Z. regelrecht "abgeschlachtet", die Analystengilde scheint sich nicht über die Bewertung einig zu sein, die einen "downgraden" andere "upgraden" (?), der Kurs?, nur am fallen:
jetzt bei ca 10 - 11 us$ !!
73,6 mio Aktien
Marktkapitalisiering (MK) noch ("immer noch zu hoch" ! wie einigen auf dem us- yahoo discussionboard schreiben) ca. 750 mio $
nach 52 Wochen = - 81% !
short positions: 3,6 mio shares

Keynote hält gerade noch knapp die 8 $ Marke! Kriegt jetzt wohl gewaltig einen "übergebraten" für mutmassliche Kursmanipulationen u.a. und die damalige Ausgabe von neuen Aktien zu 105 us$ (!!):
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010816/162475.html

Alles in allem sieht es meiner Meinung nach für Jyra recht gut aus - falls die neue Verkaufstruppe mal wirklich (!) was auf den Tisch bringen sollte und die company damit überleben wird.

Mr Rienk van Kamer hat sich in seinem letzten Börsenbrief über die "Vorschau" (b.z.w. das "update") beäußert, die einigen Aktionären zugesandt worden war.

"He said:
"Anyway, the latest report is - as far as I can remember -the first pr-presentation which he has seen from Jyra, which was understandable, clear and to the point, which give some confidence towards the present management and in that case an exuberance of optimism may be forgiven".
(exuberance = Überschwenglichkeit)


Ich zitiere aus dem "Update"(on a number of key aspects of the company and the recent changes and developments):

"The market is ready: Service providers and enterprises are now seeking to achieve more efficient operations while improving quality of service for customers. This move is driven by the high competition which now exists between the service providers, which is forcing a “do or die” attitude towards delivering superior Quality of Experience to their customers. These challenges have prompted a mass of new quality improvement initiatives as poor quality services are shunned.
“Having built their networks on the idea that bandwidth alone would meet customer demand, many providers are finding themselves unable to generate revenues from this capacity,” explains Chris Bulkey, Optical Oracle’s financial analyst. “In this environment, it’s not component technologies that increase the speed of the network that will sell well, but those that allow more efficient, higher quality and profitable use of existing capacity.” The e-Business Analytics market is projected to explode from $8.8 billion in 2000 to $25.1 billion by 2004 (Merrill Lynch).
"
. . .
"
What’s different about Jyra sales force?
Jyra’s new Sales Director Stewart Boddy served as Director N. Europe & Scandinavia for InfoVista UK Ltd. where he was responsible for recruiting a sales team and launching their products into the UK. Growing the UK business twenty fold from a near standing start in the first Financial Year, with a planned and realisable growth of 300% the following Financial Year. Prior to Infovista Boddy, was Director EMEA for NetScout Systems (formerly Frontier Systems) where he was responsible for opening the sales and support organisation in Europe in April 1996. The run rate for the UK sales increased by approximately five fold in the three years from 1996, reaching in excess of $10 million in 1999. Boddy has a strong background in building revenue from the ground up and has succeeded in doing so twice in the past, on both occasions with companies in Jyra’s sector.
Jyra’s attraction for high caliber sales professionals is the business opportunity provided by the Company’s products and it’s customer base. Jyra’s selection by blue chip companies provides significant industry credibility and a platform from which to build revenues. Since the Company embarked upon the new wave of its sales recruitment process, the Company has seen a significant increase in many of the sales metrics it tracks.

TECHNOLOGY
RiverSoft tipped for headline deal By Alec Campbell
Tue 4 Sep 2001

LONDON (SHARECAST) - The City will be watching for news of new deals and third-quarter performance when US-based network software producer RiverSoft announces its half-year results tomorrow.


The company has already issued a trading statement after the end of the quarter, so it is unlikely that results will buck market forecasts of £9.3m revenue and £36.8m loss before tax.

Of more interest will be announcements published at the same time. Having suffered from contract delays, RiverSoft will be keen to prove that it can still land business deals and may announce one or more new contracts or partnerships.

Analysts also anticipate news about its restructuring programme. The company fired 30% of its staff in August, which should save £5m in the long run but will add £1m to expenses for the third quarter.

House broker Granville Baird said it expects that the group will also indicate that third-quarter trading has been poor.

The broker, which has maintained its outperform rating on the company despite lowering its forecasts in the wake of July`s trading statement, said that demand for network management software remains weak, though not disastrously so when compared with other telecom sectors.

RiverSoft is trading at close to its cash value, at £73.7m yesterday. It is forecast to have £51m remaining cash by the end of the year. Break-even before interest and tax is now expected in the third quarter of 2003, but with its generous cash pile the company should not need to revisit the market. Baird predicts that it will still have £26m left by the end of 2003.

RiverSoft was tipped yesterday by the FT as ripe for a takeover, along with a number of other companies whose market values are close to their cash reserves - including nCipher, Autonomy and Bookham. But RiverSoft said it has not yet been approached by potential bidders.

Yesterday its shares were unchanged at 30.5p, not far off its August low of 27.5p, valuing the group at £74m.

Eine Email, die z.Z. um den Globus geht:

Dear
The terror in New York and Washington forces you to choose your reaction consciously or unconsciously. The violence that we saw today was the consequence of unconscious choices -- choices driven by pain, fear, and desperation. Who among us has not experienced pain, fear and desperation? Who among us will not experience them in the future? The question of whether they will determine your responses to the circumstances of your life, no matter how painful, is critical, because your future depends upon it. I hope that these thoughts will be helpful to you.
Love

**********************

COMPASSION AND REVENGE The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are occasions of great significance. They are opportunities for you to feel inside, to find those parts of yourself that are in fear, and to make the decision to move forward in your life without fear. That is the challenge for each individual on this planet today. The pursuit of external power the ability to manipulate and control creates only violence and destruction. The painful events in New York and Washington are living examples of that reality. The causal chain that created this violence is one in which compassion and wisdom are absent. Are wisdom and compassion present in you as you watch the television, and read the papers? It is important to realize that you do not know all that came to conclusion, or into karmic balance, as a result of these events. Because you are not able to know all that can be known about them, you are not in a position to judge them. When you are able to look at the events of the Earth School from this perspective, you will see clearly the central importance of the role that you play in it. That role is this: It is for you to decide what you will contribute to this world. Many will be asking your opinion of these events. Each question is an opportunity for you to contribute to the love that is in the world or to the fear that is in the world. This is the same opportunity that presents itself to you at each moment. If you hate those who hate, you become like them. You add to the violence and the destructive energy that now fills our world. As you make the decision to see with clarity and compassion, you will see that those who committed these acts of violence were in extreme pain themselves, and that they were fueled by the violent parts of ourselves the parts that judge without mercy, strike in anger, and rejoice in the suffering of others. They were our proxy representatives. If you can look with compassion upon those who have suffered and those who have committed acts of cruelty alike, then you will see that all are suffering. The remedy for suffering is not to inflict more suffering. This is an opportunity for a massive expression of compassion. It is also an opportunity for a massive expression of revenge. Which world do you intend to live in -- a world of revenge or a world of compassion?

PALO ALTO, Calif. and LONDON, Sep 26, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- "Network Performance Services," a new research report released today by Crescendo Ventures, projects high growth in the network performance services industry, but warns of the risks associated with the business models of many providers.

The role of Network Performance Service Providers is to improve delivery in the first-mile, backbone networks and peering points. The 55-page report covers 18 public and private companies including Akamai, Digital Island, Ejasent, StorageNetworks and Yipes among others. Network Performance Services identifies opportunities for Storage Services Providers, Managed Bandwidth Service Providers and Content Delivery Network Providers that are attributed to the Internet`s decentralized nature, the unpredictability of Web server traffic volume, unrelenting traffic growth fueled in part by enhanced Web site functionality, the emergence of rich content, and the deployment of corporate applications.

"As speed and performance of the Internet increases, content providers are developing more bandwidth-intensive applications, which produce even greater traffic levels," noted report author Thibaut Large, a member of Crescendo Ventures` Research Group. "We don`t foresee Internet congestion subsiding and as it becomes worse, demand for services designed to deal with these bottleneck issues will increase."

Several types of first generation service providers have already started addressing the respective bottleneck issues. Storage Service Providers outsource storage, ensuring constant availability of data and applications by architecting independent data storage network infrastructure. Managed Bandwidth Service Providers offer flexible data access, eliminating the old "guaranteed provisioning" which leads to extensive overprovisioning. Companies are also looking to Routing and Private Network Access Providers to bypass the congestion at public peering points thus, raising Quality of Service (QoS) delivery performance via centralized routing administration.
Next-generation Content Delivery Networks will process applications at the network`s edge as well as optimize content and application processing on wireless networks.

Risks That Could Affect the Rewards

The path to profitability will neither be easy nor without risk. Slow customer acceptance, an aggressive competitive response from established telecom incumbents, and existing Internet Data Centers could cripple business models. The latest technologies and technical standards may extend the limits of what is possible, but if new standards take too much time to be developed and adopted, it could have a negative affect on market growth. Lack of end-to-end control and dependence on other service providers will affect the delivery that Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees. Finally, the ultimate success of Network Service Providers is dependent on the ability of management teams to live up to SLA contracts, make the correct equipment acquisitions, and strategic partnership decisions.

"Network Performance Service Providers are about adding value to existing infrastructure," Large concluded. "Needing to remotely manage large and highly distributed islands of data, they must strive to expand the range of applications and customers they can serve by interoperating with all possible data and application types. We expect holistic network management and increased data transport and processing performance to be the early innovations."

Jyra enjoys revenue climb in 3rd Quarter 2001

Revenue growth driven in September by release of latest version and strong sales force

London, UK - 16th October 2001: Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a leading provider of content and mobile performance monitoring solutions today announced that its revenues for the 3rd Quarter 2001 have increased from the 2nd Quarter, by 45% to in excess of $400,000. The Company will release its full set of management figures in its Form 10Q expected to be filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on or before 14th November 2001. This growth coincided with the appointment of Stewart Boddy as new group Sales Director and subsequent restructuring of the sales team.

This revenue increase was supported by established blue chip names such as BT Cellnet, BAA and Yipes adopting Jyra’s performance management solutions as an essential component of their Customer Service operations and strategy, further endorsing the inherent value of Jyra’s product set.

Stewart Boddy, Sales Director comments “Having seen the launch of version 4 in August, booked sales for September accounted for a majority of the quarter`s revenue. We have seen a significant number of new customer enquiries, product evaluations and outgoing proposals. This has resulted in our starting Q4 with a massively increased sales pipeline and coverage".

The customer need for profitability and guaranteed return of investment has made Jyra’s V4 product popular with the market and has accelerated the rate at which Jyra has converted orders to reportable revenue. The Company continues to exercise strong financial control over operating costs, and it is this strategic policy which has helped fuel Jyra’s move towards profitability.

"Going forward I believe Jyra’s opportunity to be substantial, emphasized by our commitment to continue expanding our existing sales team and establishing a stand-alone marketing team." commented Archie Adams, CEO of Jyra. "Jyra`s main objective is now profitability. These and other recent measures, I believe, have greatly assisted this goal".

ansonsten:

wie mir berichtet wurde, ist man bei Jyra der Meinung, dass man "bewußt zurückhaltende IR-Arbeit macht um Altinvestoren, die eher als "Zocker" zu klassifizieren sind, aus dem Unternehmen zu spülen. Ziel ist es, wenn man die ersten richtigen Umsätze hat, die IR komplett neu zu starten und komplett neue Investorengruppen anzusprechen."

so, so also die Zocker sind es,
na Klasse, dass wieder ein Alibi für die Hinhaltetaktik gefunden wurde nachdem bisher hauptsächlich Mr. J.C. (der ja schon vor längerer Zeit entlassen wurde und an vielem "schuld" ist) als "Sündenbock" hinhalten mußte, nachdem Mr. P. R. als "Bauernopfer" für die Shareholder vom CEO-Amt zurücktreten mußte (obwohl er wie eh und je dort rumspringt).

Wie mir einer dieser "Zocker" nach einem Anruf im Jyra Office mitteilte ist jetzt der neueste Spruch: "the tube is full" , auf deutsch: "das Rohr ist voll" (mit Aufträgen etc?),
da hat sich der Anrufer echt gefreut, der hat nämlich die Schnauze voll, auf englisch etwa: "I am fed up!"

Das alles freut uns "shareholder" auch ungemein, diese ewige "feine" englische Ignoranz und Überheblichkeit; ist eben ganz besonders dieser Elfenbeinturm, nämlich englisch.

Vielleicht sollte dem Ceo & Co mal die Bedeutung des Wortes "shareholder" erklärt werden - das scheint dort ein unbekanntes Wort zu sein; kommt von "share" = teilen, teilhaben = Teilhaber der company = Mitbesitzer.

Mein Gott Walter, es ist schon schier unglaublich was einem als Aktionär aus dem Jyrazirkus da geboten wird . . .
nur tüchtig weiter so, damit die letzten "Zocker" raus sind, um "neue Investorenkreise" dann zu finden . . .
träumt weiter in eurem Elfenbeinturm! (Eurer Ruf wird Euch vorauseilen)

übrigens, das quartalsergebnis ist raus. ich finde es ganz passabel unter den aktuellen rahmenbedingungen.
......
The Company having seen the launch of version 4 in August saw booked sales for
September accounting for the majority of the Third Quarter`s revenue. During
the Third Quarter the Company saw a significant number of new customer
enquiries, product evaluations and outgoing proposals. This resulted in the
Company starting the Fourth Quarter with a significantly increased sales
pipeline and coverage.
.....
We believe that we will have sufficient working capital to fund current levels
of operations for the next 12 months, assuming the Company receives at least
$3.5 million from product sales, disposal of available for sale securities and
financing transactions involving the private placement of equity securities.
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise the necessary
funds. The Company establishes its expenditure level based upon its
expectations as future revenues and if revenue levels were below expectations
this could cause expenses to be disproportionately high.

Erstaunlich!

JYRA posts one cent Earnings Per Share for Third Quarter 2001
The quarterly figures mark a significant stage in the growth of the Company; it is the first time in Jyra`s history that it has posted earnings per share

LONDON, Nov 15, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a market leader and specialist provider of performance management solutions today released one cent Earnings Per Share in its third quarter results. The Company reported revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 at $1,034,388. The Company released its full set of management figures in its Form 10Q filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on 14th November 2001.
Year on year revenues for the 3rd Quarter 2001 increased by 195% on the 3rd Quarter 2000 and 47% on the 2nd Quarter 2001. With the release of Version 4 during the 3rd Quarter 2001 the strategic sales objective of increasing the breadth of sales coverage of the Jyra Solution yielded strong results, providing sales pipeline opportunities and repeat business. During the 3rd Quarter discussions were initiated by a number of major OEMs and distributors. These strategic OEM and distributor activities and negotiations continue to yield encouraging progress.

During the 3rd Quarter 2001 the Company continued to expand its operations including key appointments in Product Development and Customer Support. Since the end of the 3rd Quarter the Company has continued to invest in the expansion of its Sales & Marketing operation including establishing a telesales team, the appointment of a Marketing Manager and further additional sales executives. The Company anticipates these growth trends to continue as the new Sales Team becomes firmly established, supported by a strong sales pipeline for the current Quarter and beyond.

Archie Adams, Jyra`s CEO, comments `I am pleased that we have achieved earnings per share which reflects some of the progress which the Company has made during 2001. I am confident that with the revenue growth and sales pipeline the Company`s potential has never been greater. There is still a significant amount of work to do as we are building short to medium term shareholder value by focussing on profitability, which with the much appreciated support of our shareholders I believe will yield reward.`

[Antarius]

nicht, dass ich im Urlaub wäre etc., weil ich mich noch nicht geäussert habe zu den QZ; nein,ich beobachte diese "Show" ( des Kurses) jetzt schon seit einigen Tagen; meine unmaßgebliche Meinung dazu:
der QZ report:
dürftig wie eh und je und undurchsichtig wie sonst auch, man hat keine Einsicht (oder soll sie auch nicht haben), woher die Einnahmen überhaupt kommen (Zum Vergleich schaue man sich mal den - meiner Ansicht nach excellenten (!) - QZ report von Path1 an, wo alles detailiert beschrieben wurde.
Mir ist nicht ersichtlich wieviel Weiteres vom "Tafelsilber" in Form von Path1 Aktien zu 5 oder 5,5 $ verscherbelt worden ist. (Ich hab` auch noch 10.000 Liter Heizöl im Keller . . . vielleicht steigt der Ölpreis ja, dann . . . leider muß ich aber zwischendurch immer wieder einige zig-Liter verscherbeln, um meine Mitarbeiter bezahlen zu können )
Gewinn von 1 cent pro Aktie? Beeindruckt mich in keinster Weise!, der Businessplan für dieses Jahr wird nämlich zum wiederholtenMale wieder nicht erfüllt sondern wohl erheblich darunterliegen. (Was soll da auch der "Beitrag" im ragingbull discussion board, dass die revenues angeblich nächsten Jahr 5 mio $ betragen könnten, wenn sie dieses Jahr schon weitab "vom Schuss" liegen. Oder kann mir mal jemand verraten woher diese Umsätze noch kommen sollen? (zumal das 4. Quartal allgemein immer schwach ist und damit gerade ein gutes Alibi (wieder) sein wird. . . eben wegen des "allgemein" schwachen 4. Quartals allüberall.)
Compaq heißt also das neue "Rennpferd", so so . . . nichts ist ersichtig in welchem Umfang und überhaupt . . . außer: "man glaubt und ist davon überzeugt . . ."
Steward Boddy heißt der neue sales director, o.k., das weiß ich schon seit längerem; war da nicht mal eine pressrelease deswegen? ist nichts auf der Jyra Website davon zu sehen, dort steht noch Joop van Kammen wie denn? was denn nun? oder hat Antarius jetzt keine Lust mehr gezeigt zum wiederholten Male bei Jyra darauf hinzuweisen, dass man dort wieder einmal die "Einarbeitung der eigenen PR`s auf der eignnen Website" versäumt hat? Oder ist man schlichtweg wieder "too busy" oder gehört das zum "Stil des Vergraulens der"Zocker" ".
Die "tube is full" oder auch "the pipeline is full", vielleicht habe ich ja Tomaten auf den Augen, ich kann nichts erblicken und sehe auch nicht, was woher bis zu den nächsten QZ (Mitte FEBRUAR kommen soll!
Der Kurs?
Haben die MM in einem Jo-Jo Spiel fein von 1 us$ (vor längerem, wo der Kurs sich ja auch etwas "halten konnte) auf zwischen 40-50 cent "hingetrimmt", ab und zu mal einen (Schein)Umsatz von schlappen 1.000- 10.000 Stück, um noch zu signalisieren: es ist noch Leben drin, "es zappelt noch".
Ich hatte auf dem P1 board ausführlich über die "Gegebenheiten" am OTC und deren MM-Machenschaften hingewiesen, auch (bitte, bitte man korrigiere mich schleunigst, wenn es nicht stimmen solche!!), dass die Umsätze an der OTC genauso wie an der Nasdaq doppelt gezählt werden! (Nun sagt mir bloß, ihr habt das doch schon gewußt?). Heißt konkret: von z.B. 90.000 gehandelten Aktie (wie vor 2 Handelstagen bei Jyra) sind es real (!) max. 45.000 Aktien, die tatsächlich einen neuen Besitzer gewechselt haben. Aber lassen wir es mal bei den "90.000" Stück: 90.000 x 60 cent = 54.000 us$ entspricht z.B. bei Path1 Aktien (bei 7 us$ Kurs) nur ca. 7.700 Aktien.
Und das ist beeindruckend? (Bei dem realen!(?) Akienvolumen nur die Hälfte! = 3850 P1 Aktien!)
Für mich ist das, was hier seit Tagen mit dem Kurs abgeht der totale Blöff, der Bluff der wahren Zocker: der Marketmaker. Da kam doch die PR mit "Bewinn pro Aktie in diesem Quartal 1 cent" ihnen voll zu Gute, nicht wahr? Ich hoffe, ich täusche mich, aber, wenn jetzt nicht gepowert wird und nochmals gepowert wird mit PR`s zu neuen Deals etc, dann wird der Kurs wieder per "Jo-Jo" dahin gezogen zum Jahresende, wo er mal war: bei 40-50 cent (und darunter!); da können die MM (mit ihren gesammelten Stücken) dann die nächste Runde, die nächste Zockerrunde, getrost abwarten, wo sie dann die nächsten wieder "über den Tisch ziehen können" = OTC.
Ich übertreibe? Man schaue sich mal GMGC (General Magic, Software für Spracherkennung im Auto) an: sind an der Nasdaq (ca 4,5 % short), haben eine PR veröffentlicht am 15.: "General Magic Becomes IBM Solution Provider and Resells IBM Voice Products", !!, von ca 48 cent am gleichen Tag auf 65 cent gestiegen bei einem Umsatzvolumen von 2,5 mio Aktien ! Jetzt am 20. liegt der Kurs (wieder) bei 45 cent! http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GMGC&d=c&k=c4&t=5d) So macht man das, so machen das die MM! Darüber wird in den us-boards täglich diskutiert und darauf hingewiesen: auf die Manipulationen der MM. Bei den (deutschen)Jyra (und Path1) Aktionären scheint man davon kein Bewußtsein zu haben oder haben zu wollen. Bei den Direktoren von Jyra wohl auch nicht (und das, obwohl doch der CEO angeblich ein ehemaliger Broker ist). So werden sie wohl - falls ich mich nicht täusche - ihre knüppelharten Crashlektion bis zum Jahresende bekommen: "Wer die wahren Zocker sind bei Jyra" (außer den paar unerheblich wenigen `Daytraders` ). Sei`s drum.
Also, wer "wert" auf meine Empfehlung legen sollte:
DIE FINGER WEG VON DER JYRAAKTIE!
Die Aktie (nicht die Company!) ist bis auf weiteres fertig und zwar fix und fertig! Voll an die Wand gefahren, dank Jyra`s IR (= Investor Relationship = Glaubwürdigkeit = NULL!)

Antarius

P.S.:
heute (bis jetzt) ein Volumen von 45.700 Stück = 35.189 us$ entspricht ca. 4.887 P1 Aktien (bei 7,2 us$ Kurs heute), das war`s, riesig was? (Real gesehen: die Hälfte!)

Hallo,

was willst Du mit den beiden Charts, die Du im WO Board abgebildet hast, aussagen, daß der Abwärtstrend gebrochen ist?
Oder das das Auf und AB immer wieder kommt.

Übrigens, ich finde, soviel Taten hat Path1 bisher auch noch
nicht an den Tag gelegt.
Viel Absichtserklärung, viel Präsentationen, viel Auszeichnungen.
Diese Phase hatte Jyra vor 2 Jahren und hat in der Zwischen-
zeit deswegen auch nicht vielmehr umgesetzt, oder?

Ich hoffe aber, daß beide Firmen Ihren Erfolg haben werden!

Gruß

Antwort:

Das mit Path1 sehe ich anders! P1 powert und powert! (z.B. CNN etc als konkretes Ergebnis der Präsentationen), auch um sich auch aus den Klauen der OTC zu befreien, hat den Nasdaqgang konkret beantragt! (und nicht nur als "Absichtserklärung" )
Emails an den CEO von P1 oder Mr. Slansky oder Mr Fellmann bekomme ich immer und außerdem innerhalb von max.12 Std beantwortet; von Jyra so gut wie keine einzige (anderen geht es ähnlich, liegt also nicht nur an meiner "Person" ). Das ist IR! = Investor Relationship

Mit der Darstellung des Charts und der 38, 100 u. 200 Tageslinie habe ich nicht sagen wollen, dass der Abwärtstrend gebrochen ist!
Wenn die 200 Tageslinie nachhaltig durchbrochen würde (nachhaltig = für länger!, siehe z.B. hier den Path1 Chart!) sieht die Sache schon anders aus.
Der "steile Schuß" nach oben in den letzten Tagen bis an die Grenze der 200 Tageslinie macht mich allein schon deswegen skeptisch, weil er durch keine Vertragsabschlüsse (Aufträge etc.) oder anderes untermauert ist.
Eine Meldung, dass der Gewinn pro Aktie im 3. Quartal dieses Jahres bei 1 cent liegt (u. damit tatsächlich zum 1. Mal ein Gewinn in der Geschicht Jyras seit 1996 vorhanden ist), sagt gar nichts aber auch gar nichts darüber aus, ob er auch im 4. Quartal u. zu Beginn 2002 gehalten werden kann, zumal absolut keine Voraussicht (konkrete!) im Quartalreport gegeben wurde.
Vogel friß oder stirbt b.z.w.
Aktionär glaube und warte (ein) weitere(s) Quartal(e) ab oder verschwinde, etwas Anderes (= reale konkrete Informationen) kriegst du nicht!

Es wird sich ja in den nächsten Tagen zeigen . . .
was mit dem Kurs passiert, ob er sich tatsächlich auf dem neuen "Niveau" halten wird ( erlaubt wird sich dort zu halten)
oder in sich (wieder) zusammenfallen wird wie ein Kartenhaus . . . mit "Boden" bei 40-50 cent oder noch tiefer (!) einbricht.

Warum und wieso sollte er sich ohne Mitteilungen / Pressreleases der Company überhaupt dort halten können?

Balance Sheets Headed for Holiday Wringer

By Kristen French
Staff Reporter
11/21/2001 03:11 PM EST

The fourth quarter is when companies send their balance sheets out to the laundry.

This time of year, companies exclude all manner of "one-time" charges from earnings numbers in a tradition that will be exacerbated by the exceptionally poor state of this quarter`s profits.

In some cases, writedowns and charges are a good thing, lowering a company`s cost structure and boosting margins for future quarters. But hefty writedowns can be an indication of ineffective management, or inflation of previous quarters` numbers. They can also reduce a company`s liquidity, or access to cash.

Soup

Some 60% of companies in the S&P 500 report "pro forma" earnings, or earnings that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. As such, they exclude whatever charges or writedowns the company thinks it can get away with. While the SEC is threatening to crack down on the practice, it`s unlikely to happen this quarter.

"They`re just saber-rattling, jaw-boning a little bit," says Bob Willens, tax and accounting analyst at Lehman Brothers. "If it happens by the end of next year, it will almost be a surprise." Ultimately, rather than require standardized pro-forma reporting, the SEC will probably require better disclosure of the differences between pro forma earnings and GAAP net income, he says.

In the meantime, investors will have to sort it out for themselves. And this quarter may be a trial by fire. While accounting practices have become more flexible in the past decade, companies still do the majority of their bookkeeping in December.

Any assets that have fallen in value due to reduced production or downsizing, any receivables that are unlikely to be paid, any charges for severance pay to workers laid off, or venture-capital investments that have plummeted in value, will be written down now if they haven`t been already.

The situation is more complicated than usual this year. In addition to the above, companies will also test a new accounting rule governing acquisitions that takes effect next year. Under the standard, companies will be able to stop taking regular charges on their quarterly earnings to amortize "goodwill," or the value of assets bought at prices above fair value. Only if a company determines that its underlying assets have fallen in value will it have to write down the difference.

Pinball

The big or repeated charges are the ones to worry about most, experts say.

"We want management to take risks. Some are going to work, some aren`t going to work, and you want to have that kind of environment," says Daniel J. Donoghue, a managing director and accounting specialist at U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. "But if you see a track record that develops of consistent writedowns year after year, the conclusion is, this is a management team that is consistently making mistakes, or inflating interim results," he said.

Big inventory writedowns in the telecom and chip sectors could be particularly worrisome this quarter, considering a lot happened already earlier this year.

"In an area like telecom, which has been decimated, some of the leading players are beginning to look like they`ve bottomed, business-wise," says Jeff Brotman, adjunct professor of accounting at the University of Pennsylvania law school. "Further writedowns could be of great concern. It would make you wonder if recovery is really on the way. Makes you question the strength of the balance sheet."

Cisco (CSCO:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) kicked off a wave of writedowns in the sector in April of this year when it announced a big $2.5 billion charge for excess inventory. Nortel (NT:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) later announced a staggering $12.3 billion charge related to acquisitions. And Corning (GLW:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) set a hefty $5.1 billion charge to cover the cost of closing three factories and cutting 1,000 jobs, as well as to write down acquisitions.

Shell Games

Big charges can sometimes be a way of artificially boosting earnings in future quarters. "The skeptical view is that a company will always write off too much rather than too little to improve margins in the future," said Willen. "As a company you have a fairly free hand. You can`t write off all equipment and continue to use it, but otherwise the company has almost total discretion."

Ultimately a company`s debt-to-asset ratio and cash position are key factors, because a big writedown will reduce a company`s asset base, which can make it harder to get loans. In particular, you want to look at what impact a write-off has on a company`s debt-to-capitalization ratio. "If it goes from 50% to 30%, that`s a red flag," says Donoghue.

Companies also need money to service debt, something a charge can impair. "You have to look at your coverages more than anything else. Look at cash flow coverage of interest expense. About three times is good," says Willen.

In some companies, high leverage ratios are normal. In others it`s not dismissed so easily. "Particularly in cyclical businesses, where cash could evaporate at some point in the business cycle. Companies that generate regular predictable cash flow can take on more debt."

Jyra kicks off European marketing campaign

Jyra initiates marketing campaign with the first in a series of “Quality of Experience” seminars


London, UK – 19th December 2001: Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a leading provider of content and mobile performance management solutions kicked off their European marketing campaign with a seminar entitled “Quality of Experience wins and keeps walletshare” on the 6th December 2001.

The seminar attracted guests from companies like Virgin Mobile, Carrier 1, Cable & Wireless, Nortel Networks and Bull Data Systems.

Focusing on IT dependent operations in modern businesses, the seminar demonstrated how Jyra’s Quality of Experience software in combination with Compaq’s powerful hardware systems can create significant added value for organisations delivering services and applications via electronic channels.

Warren Daniels, Jyra’s marketing manager comments, “As a recent recruit to the Jyra team I am delighted at the overwhelming attendance at this event and the level of interest attendees have shown. I am confident that as we implement all components of our marketing strategy Jyra’s profile will strengthen in our chosen markets.”

In the coming months the marketing function will concentrate on delivery of a number of European direct marketing initiatives, seminars and media coverage aimed specifically at widening the profile of Jyra among our target audience.

With the new marketing team Jyra is set to establish a strong brand. The impact of the new integrated marketing approach has shown an increase in recent interest in terms of sales leads, general enquiries and additional commercial activity. It is expected that this interest will continue to increase as the marketing plan is executed in full.


Jyra would like to take this opportunity to announce that Mr Joop van Kammen has resigned as an officer of the company and has stepped down from its board to enable him to spend more time assisting other companies at the beginning of their change process. Mr van Kammen assisted Jyra as a consultant whilst it was in a period of significant change and all of the Jyra Board thank him for his efforts and enduring the extensive travelling which this caused. The board of Jyra wishes Mr van Kammen all good fortune in his new consultancy assignments.

ich war einige Zeit verreist, so war die letzte PR an mir "vorbei gegangen" - was ich allerdings nicht zu bedauern habe, oder? ; ` bin jetzt gefragt worden, was ich vom Inhalt dieser PR halte, ob das wirklich jetzt "ernst zu nehmen ist" und es wirklich "Jyra goes on" ist oder wieder nur heiße Luft?
Kann ich schlecht beurteilen, ist ja mal wieder einer der "typisch Jyra" PRs: "markig" im Ausdruck aber der Aktionär bekommt konkret nichts zu hören.
Markig: "Jyra kicks off European marketing campaign"
heißt so ungefähr:
" Jyra stößt die europäische Marketing Kampagne an"
wow, klingt echt super: kicks off, wie ein Super-Fußballspiel . . .
kommt mir nur irgendwie alt bekannt war, da war doch mal was . . .? ach ja: anno 1999 im November bei der Hauptversammlung (der letzten!) erläuterte der damalige Ceo uns Aktionären, dass man den US Markt über den europäischen her aufrollen will - mal abgesehen von seinem "Versprechen" einer besseren Investor Relationship.
"The seminar featured senior level keynote speakers Andy Mullholland, Chief Technical Officer at Cap Gemini. . ."

Der Name "Cap Gemini" ist im Zusamenhang zu Jyra auch schon mal gefallen, wann war`s denn noch mal . . . damals anno . . .?
muß da irgendwie unwillkürlich an die letzte PR von RIVERSOFT denken vom 19. Nov:
"RiverSoft Hosts Web Seminar about Best Practices in
Operational Support Systems

Industry Experts from IDC Cap Gemini Ernst & Young and TIBCO Software Join RiverSoft in Discussing Integration Strategies for Carriers and Service Providers

SAN FRANCISCO, November 19, 2001 -- RiverSoft (LSE: RSFT.L), a leading provider of network management solutions, will host a web seminar with industry experts to discuss best practices in Operational Support Systems (OSS) integration for carriers and service providers.
The webinar will provide carriers and service providers with
strategies and techniques to reduce operational costs, increase revenue and enhance customer retention and satisfaction. The webinar is accessible at http://www.itworld.com/itwebcast/Riversoft_NGOSS/
beginning today. The company is publishing an "OSS Essentials" white paper in conjunction with the launch of the webinar. A copy of the white paper may be requested at www. RiverSoft.com. . . ."

Finden wir Aktionäre echt Klasse, dass man jetzt Seminare macht und einiges diskutieren will
" In the coming months the marketing function will concentrate on delivery of a number of European direct marketing initiatives, seminars and . . ."

Superklasse ist, dass man gleich die Tatsache, dass "Mr. Joop van Kammen has resigned as an officer of the company and has stepped down from its board to enable him to spend more time assisting other companies at the beginning of their change process." mit in die PR "hineingewurstet" hat, weil diese Sachlage nämlich schon gereits graue Haare hatte, sprich Monate alt war.
Wir drücken auch wieder mal beide Augen zu, dass nach offizieller Bekanntgabe (durch die PR) weiterhin nach 2 Wochen nach der Veröffentlichung der PR Mr. van Kammen auf der Jyrahomepage immer noch dort unter "Management" existent ist: http://www.jyra.com/company.html.
Wir lassen uns aber nicht zu der Spekulation hinreissen, dass man kein Geld mehr für den Webmaster der HP hätte,der das mal updaten könnte, sondern erklären das mit der "Jyra eigenen Unawareness (Unbewußtheit)" für solche "unwichtigen" Dinge, dass wir Aktionäre ja inzwischen seit Jahren auch gewohnt sind . . .

Ist nun die PR "heiße Luft"?
Nichts Genaueres weiß man nicht . . .
es sieht aber so aus im Moment als wenn die Aktie es nicht mal wert wäre "in der Pfeife geraucht zu werden" (wie man so im deutschen sagt: "kannst`e in der Pfeife rauchen" ), so schnell kann man nämlich gar nicht nachlegen (nachkaufen) wie die "Papiere" im Pfeifenkopf verbrennen (siehe Chart unten), und dabei würde wohl auch der Pfeifenkopf verglühen Jyra: hier werden Sie verkohlt?



- - - - -
(Manchmal bleibt einem als Aktionär zeitweise nichts übrig als zynisch zu sein, da hat man wenigstens die Illusion, dass es hilft. Wie heißt es doch so schön in einem Hinweis/ Empfehlung für die Jyra-aktien, die schon Jahre alt ist und noch irgendwo in den Tiefen des WWW existiert - werde die Adresse bei Gelegenheit mal posten - : "bei Jyra braucht man viele Schweißtücher . . ."; sollte event. auch mal aktualisiert werden in : ", die sich ( mind.) vorübergehend in: "interime" (ist "neudeutsch" ) finanzielle Leichentücher verwandeln können (könnten)" ).

Jyra delivers scalable Voice over IP(VoIP) performance monitoring solution

Latest addition to Jyra’s ‘Quality of Experience’ software solution enables Enterprises and Service Providers to monitor performance of VoIP networks in real time

London, UK – 16th January 2002: Jyra (OTCBB: JYRA): a leading provider of 24x7 performance monitoring solutions announced today the addition of VoIP network performance monitoring capabilities to the extensive set of performance monitoring and diagnostic tools already available in Jyra’s ‘Quality of Experience’ software. The new VoIP capabilities for live distributed voice networks address the current and future demands of existing customers and prospective users.

Jyra’s distributed, fully scalable solution offers powerful tools to analyse the performance of VoIP networks and allows cross-correlation with underlying performance issues, enabling root cause identification of poor performance. The Jyra solution specifically addresses the IP performance management needs of carriers, service providers, and large enterprises. It includes features that provide early warning of problems occurring in VoIP networks, enabling voice quality and service to be maintained around the clock. It assures that service level agreements (SLAs) are being met, and its easy to use reports identify trends in service degradation.

VoIP is fast becoming a mainstream technology and while concerns over quality have held back uptake, the lure of cost savings and unified voice and data applications has seen major corporate enterprises invest in VoIP technology. According to market research agency Frost & Sullivan, the revenue from VoIP and related products and services is expected to swell from $2.3 billion in 1999 to $206 billion by 2006. Analysts IDC forecast that firms world-wide will spend $24bn on VoIP in 2002 alone.

The reliability of conventional telephone systems has set an extremely demanding target for VoIP networks. Reaching this target requires the distributed proactive monitoring for which the Jyra solution is designed. Checking 24x7, the Jyra solution can identify service degradation even when customers are not making calls. With Jyra, voice managers can improve service performance before end users even become aware of a problem.


Pete Lynch, Jyra Chief Technology Officer comments, "User expectations of voice services are high. The success of any VoIP rollout depends on delivering high-quality, reliable service to each and every customer. One time tests are not enough. Network managers need scalable and repeatable measurement of Quality of Experience to confirm that the network is fit for service, all day, every day."

Stewart Boddy, Jyra Sales Director comments, “VoIP has come out of the labs and is being deployed effectively in all types of customer markets. Building on Jyra`s existing capabilities means entry into a very fast increasing market as well as giving us the ability to sell more value to our existing customers. With our innovative pricing model, where VoIP monitoring can be setup for as little as $25 per handset, exciting times are ahead of us.”

The Jyra solution is available for implementation now.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Continued Internet Traffic Growth Portends
Upswing In Carrier Spending, Says Internet Founder

? The Internet is still growing fast enough to exceed the capacity of carrier networks` current architectures, according to latest updated research by Dr. Lawrence Roberts ?

San Jose, Calif. ? January 16th, 2002 ? The Internet has continued to grow, even in the face of economic slowdown and terrorist attack, according to new traffic measurements released today by Internet founder and respected network scientist Dr. Lawrence Roberts. And the continued growth in Internet traffic has contributed to shaping the IP carrier competitive landscape in unexpected ways, the research found.

Latest data from the 20 leading tier 1 IP network service provider networks in the U.S. reveals that the Internet has continued to grow at roughly the same growth rate it`s been averaging since it began growing aggressively in the early 90s. Over the almost two-year period of Roberts` study, April 2000 through the present, Internet traffic has been found to be growing annually by a factor of three.

Traffic had been found to be growing even faster in the first period of Roberts` analysis, April 2000 through April 2001. Over that one-year period, traffic was measured to have grown at a factor of four. In the context of the research team`s longer measured time period, however, the 4x growth was a temporary anomaly on an otherwise smooth 3x curve.

"A longer sample illustrates how Internet growth rate fluctuates over time. There are peaks of faster growth and troughs of slower growth, but the overall growth rate since we started collecting our data is consistent with the Internet`s historical 1990s growth rate," said Roberts. "The longer sample period also illuminates factors that affect the growth rate, such as seasonal variation, business developments in the industry and other factors."

Roberts` findings run counter to some networking vendors, analysts and media that have suggested the growth of the Internet is slowing. The confusion stemmed from statements and speculation on the capacity of carrier networks, not the traffic across them. Other reports have confused growth in carrier revenue with growth in traffic, or assumed direct relationships between the two. Roberts` work is the first scientific measurement of traffic data since The U.S. National Science Foundation ceased tracking American Internet traffic in 1995.

Research Methodology
Service providers traditionally keep network traffic statistics confidential for competitive reasons. However, as the first scientist to prove packet networking`s viability, and as the founder of the first commercial data packet carrier, Roberts has special access to top scientists at the leading data carriers. Beginning in 2000, Roberts and his team obtained non-disclosure agreements with the top 20 tier 1 Internet backbone carriers and began polling them for their network topologies and trunk utilizations.

While carriers rarely measure the traffic on their networks using uniform metrics, each carrier carefully maintains data on line utilization, or how "full" each trunk is. Roberts and his researchers derive their standardized measurements by knowing the size of carriers` trunks, their utilization and the topology of each carrier"`s IP network (knowing the topology yields a "hop count", an important factor in determining actual traffic.) The data supporting these most recent findings came from network samplings from April 2001 through early 2002.

Implications And Surprise Findings
"The biggest implication of these findings is that carriers are going to be spending again soon. There are scientific limits to how much their networks can handle before performance degrades to levels that customers will no longer accept. Yet, while spending will resume in the near future, carriers` economics unfortunately aren`t going to get any better if they continue to build their networks with today`s equipment," said Roberts. "Today`s core routers are the bottlenecks. If traffic is continues to grow at these rates, carriers will soon be unable to build networks and turn a profit. This equipment actually creates a "diseconomy of scale" for network engineers trying to grow their networks beyond a certain point," Roberts stated.

A surprise to researchers was how their data illustrates how fragmented and hyper-competitive the tier 1 backbone ISP market has remained. "In December of 2001, one carrier was the clear leader on the basis of network capacity. Today, 11 of the top 20 tier 1 backbone carriers are roughly equal; each has 4.4% to 8.8% of total network capacity," said Roberts. "There may be industry consolidation in the future as traffic growth slows, but as long as traffic continues to grow faster than trunk speeds, the market will likely continue to stay open to new service provider entrants," he commented.

Roberts presented his findings today in a keynote address at a CIBC World Markets conference in San Francisco co-hosted by Stephen Kamman, CIBC`s Executive Director, Networking & Internet Infrastructure. A summary of Roberts" findings can be downloaded from the website of his latest venture, Caspian Networks, at http://www.caspiannetworks.com.

About Lawrence Roberts
USA Today calls Dr. Lawrence Roberts "one of the `true fathers of the Internet`." Roberts led the team that designed and developed ARPANET, the world`s first major computer packet network, which evolved into the modern Internet. Roberts started the first data packet carrier, Telenet, which eventually became the data division of Sprint. Today, Roberts is the founder, chair and CTO of Caspian Networks, a high-profile networking startup.

Jyra Delivers Performance Monitoring Solution for Carriers Providing Content Delivery
Additional content delivery monitoring added to Jyra`s `Quality of Experience` software solution enables carriers to assure their content delivery services

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2002-- Jyra (OTCBB:JYRA - news) a leading provider of 24x7 performance monitoring solutions today announced the addition of performance monitoring capabilities for content delivery services. The inclusion of content delivery capabilities directly addresses problems that content distributors have in assuring the delivery of reliable, quality services to their customers.

Jyra`s distributed, fully scalable architecture is a comprehensive solution that delivers quality assurance measurements from the content distributor to the customer. Content owners are demanding that any content delivery solution guarantees the quality of that content to the point of delivery, be that delivery to mobile or Internet users. By deploying Jyra, carriers can know whether content is deliverable and can rectify discrepancies in service quality before they affect the customers and thus revenues.

According to Jupiter MMXI, consumer and business utilization of content delivery services, like rich media and multimedia, will see the market exceed EUR 5bn by 2006. Carriers need to take advantage of the growth in demand for content delivery services to drive bandwidth sales and speed their return on infrastructure investment. Quality of Service becomes key as this drives bandwidth sales, which in turn drives profitability. Jyra enables carriers to monitor the quality of the service delivered and thus profitability.

Stewart Boddy, Jyra Sales Director comments, ``The customer will pay for content delivery services only if they receive the quality they expect. If you attempt to deliver DVD quality content to the customer and they receive a service that resembles a pirated VHS video they will not thank you for it, rather; they will find another provider or just not bother at all. Jyra`s solution enables carriers to assure delivery quality and thus generate much needed profit.``

The Jyra solution is available for immediate deployment.

Yipes Files for Voluntary Reorganization; Company Commits to Supporting Customers and Services During Restructuring

Business Editors and High Tech Writers

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2002--Yipes Communications, Inc., the defining provider of instantly scalable Ethernet services, today announced that it is seeking to restructure its business to enhance future growth opportunities.
Yipes has filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Francisco, California.[/u][/u] This move will assure Yipes` ability to continue its business operations uninterrupted during the reorganization. Yipes has made arrangements for debtor-in-possession financing. This additional financing will allow Yipes to continue offering its existing customers 24x7 service and support, activate new customers and otherwise conduct business.
"This proposed restructuring is unavoidable given the unprecedented pessimism affecting providers of capital to the telecom market," said Jerry Parrick, Yipes CEO. "Although our pioneering technology has proven its merits and customer demand for Yipes services is exceptionally strong, the `perfect storm` now battering the telecom industry has pummeled even the mighty, and we are no exception."
Parrick said Yipes` fundamental business remains strong and customer loyalty, as measured by a major market research firm last summer, is among the highest found in any industry, not just telecommunications. But without substantial new funding, Yipes faces a cash squeeze in meeting fixed obligations such as fiber infrastructure and real estate. By restructuring those obligations to reflect current market values, Yipes will once again be able to exploit its many available business opportunities.
"We are committed to delivering on our promises," Parrick said. "We are especially committed to continue - without interruption - providing customers the fastest, most flexible and affordable service they have ever enjoyed. When market conditions stabilize, we will be even better positioned to exploit the tremendous pent-up demand for instantly scalable optical Ethernet services."
"The Ethernet revolution in metro optical networks that Yipes pioneered is here to stay, regardless of temporary market and financial conditions," said Deb Mielke, President, Treillage Network Strategies. "Fast, affordable and instantly scalable bandwidth is a powerful proposition that will outlast any near-term market adversity. Customers who have tried this new way of networking will never go back."
"Underneath many a balance sheet problem is a fundamentally healthy business model," said Erik Suppiger, Senior Networking Analyst at Pacific Growth Equities, Inc. "Chapter 11 restructuring is a particularly effective vehicle for preserving a company`s real potential in a capital constrained market environment. As Yipes lowers its cost structure, it will be in a better position to achieve success with its innovative technology."
"Chapter 11 is a process, not an ending," said Kathryn Coleman, a bankruptcy lawyer and the partner in charge of the San Francisco office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. "It provides companies the breathing room they need to restructure their finances and adapt their business plan to changed market conditions. The goal, often realized, is to promote the reemergence of stronger, healthier companies."
"Yipes changed forever the way we think about wide area services," said Matt Kesner, Chief Technology Officer of Fenwick & West, a leading Silicon Valley law firm. "Yipes freed us from the constraints of expensive, inflexible and complex legacy telco networks. We appreciate that Chapter 11 protects Yipes` ongoing operations and customer service during reorganization and look forward to a long relationship with this pathbreaking service provider."

Yipes is the defining provider of instantly scalable Ethernet services, ranging from 1 Megabit per second to 1 Gigabit per second in 1 Mbps increments. Yipes` highly affordable services, available in 21 markets coast-to-coast, include Yipes MAN (Metro Area Networking), Yipes NAN (National Area Networking) and Yipes NET (high-speed Internet access). The San Francisco-based company`s customers include Fortune 1000 enterprises, financial institutions, real estate companies, law firms, medical facilities, Web-based businesses, ISPs and ASPs, universities, school districts and government agencies. Yipes has received $291 million in equity funding from more than 30 investors including Norwest Venture Partners, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), The Sprout Group/CSFB, Focus Ventures, JP Morgan Partners, BancBoston Ventures, Soros Private Equity Partners, Focus Capital and Intel Capital.

Yipes has won honors for innovation and excellence from America`s Network, CED, Computerworld, CRN, Enterprise Systems, Inter@ctive Week, The Net Economy, Network Magazine, Network World, Red Herring, tele.com, Telephony and Upside, and awards from COMNET, NetWorld + Interop and Supercomm. Yipes also won the World Communication Award for Best New Carrier. For more information, visit www.yipes.com.

Chapter 11 For Yipes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Story Filed: Sunday, March 24, 2002 7:21 PM EST

Mar 24, 2002 (Internet.com via COMTEX) -- Optical IP network provider, Yipes Communications has hit the Chapter 11 skids, joining the ranks of Excite@Home, NorthPoint Communications and Rhythms NetConnections.

The San Francisco-based company Friday filed a voluntary petition for reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Yipes execs released a statement saying they expect to continue its business operations - including adding new customers. The company says it is also making arrangements for debtor-in-possession financing.

"This proposed restructuring is unavoidable given the unprecedented pessimism affecting providers of capital to the telecom market," said Yipes CEO Jerry Parrick. "Although our pioneering technology has proven its merits and customer demand for Yipes services is exceptionally strong, the `perfect storm` now battering the telecom industry has pummeled even the mighty, and we are no exception."

Yipes raised $291 million in its overall VC funding including Norwest Venture Partners, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), The Sprout Group/CSFB, Focus Ventures, JP Morgan Partners, BancBoston Ventures, Soros Private Equity Partners, Focus Capital and Intel Capital. But without substantial new investors, the company claims it faces a cash squeeze in meeting fixed obligations such as fiber infrastructure and, more importantly, real estate. Yipes has to compete with the big boys of telecom including AT&T and Verizon

Ironically, the company acquired the rights to more than 3,500 office buildings through a buyout of assets formerly owned by Broadband Office, an in-building carrier that filed for similar Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

"We are committed to delivering on our promises," said Parrick. "We are especially committed to continue - without interruption - providing customers the fastest, most flexible and affordable service they have ever enjoyed. When market conditions stabilize, we will be even better positioned to exploit the tremendous pent-up demand for instantly scalable optical Ethernet services."

The company`s service is available in 21 markets and includes Yipes MAN (Metro Area Networking), Yipes NAN (National Area Networking) and Yipes NET (high-speed Internet access).

(BW)(CA-RHK) Optical Ethernet Services -- A $4 Billion Dollar Opportunity for Service Providers, According to a New Study by RHK
Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2002--Growing demand for bandwidth is expected to create $4 billion in new revenues by 2006 for North American service providers offering optical Ethernet services, according to an extensive, three-part multi-client study conducted by RHK Inc. The three studies in the "Opportunities for Gigabit Ethernet" series break down the GigE food chain to identify revenue opportunities for Ethernet service providers, equipment manufacturers and component suppliers.
RHK interviewed over 300 potential users and 33 early adopters, as well as 20 Ethernet service providers and nearly 50 equipment and component manufacturers. Additional market data was acquired from surveys of IT managers at 3,500 business locations in North America.
This report examines the emerging market for GigE services delivered over metro and wide area networks. Enterprises and specialized service providers with fast-growing bandwidth needs are driving the market for Ethernet services as a LAN-compatible, cost-effective, and higher-speed alternative to existing data and transport services.
"By extending LAN-based Ethernet technology into carrier networks, service providers will offer unmatched flexibility to meet customers` bandwidth demands," said Dr. Stephanie Boyles, Program Director Packet Services Global, RHK. "In 2002, pure-play Ethernet-LECs and CLECs will use existing assets, rather than extending Ethernet network rollouts, and incumbents will continue with trials rather than full-scale deployments. This slow start, plus Yipes!`s recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, will spark some skepticism around optical Ethernet services. But customer demand and competitive threats will cause the big carriers to bring Ethernet services to almost a million potential customers by 2006."

P.S.
meiner Ansicht nach sollte man nicht voreilig (schlechte) Schlüsse ziehen . . .
Jyra hat sich bis jetzt jedenfalls als "wahrer" Überlebenskünstler heraus gestellt, wären etliche andere companies bereits den Bach herunter gespült worden sind,
vielleicht sind sie ja weiterhin so überzeugt von ihrer Zukunft, dass sie bei dem Aktienpreis selbst Aktien zurück kaufen (?)
(letzteres ist nichts Weiter als eine "hoffnungsvolle Spekulation meinerseits und entbehrt jeglichen Wissens . . .)

Mittwoch 17. April 2002, 10:34 Uhr
Wie bringt man Vorständen Moral bei?

(FAZ.NET) Der Moorhuhn-Entwickler Phenomedia hat am Dienstag eingeräumt, dass die Bilanzen nicht ganz so der Wahrheit entsprochen haben- und darauf hin zwei Vorstandsmitglieder entlassen. Gegen zwei Vorstände von Ceyoniq (Xetra: 542000.DE
- Nachrichten - Forum) hat die Staatsanwaltschaft wegen des Verdachts auf Betrug Haftbefehl erlassen - und Comroad (Xetra: 544940.DE - Nachrichten - Forum ) -Chef Bodo Schnabel sitzt längst hinter Gittern, weil seine Geschäftsbeziehungen wohl lediglich seiner Fantasie entsprungen sind. Dies sind nur die Betrugsfälle der vergangenen zwei Wochen am Neuen Markt. Sie reihen sich mit weiteren wie Metabox (Xetra: 692120.DE - Nachrichten - Forum) und EM.TV in eine traurige Liste ein.

?Immer mehr Unternehmensnachrichten werden zu einer Sache der Justiz", sagte der Landesgeschäftsführer Hessen der Deutschen Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz (DSW) Klaus Nieding. ?Der Gesetzgeber muss uns jetzt ein Instrumentarium in die Hand geben, um Schadenersatzansprüche durchsetzen zu können", fügte er hinzu. Nach Ansicht von Marktteilnehmern sind weitere böse Überraschungen nicht nur vom Wachstumssegment der Deutschen Börse zu erwarten.

Aktionärsschützer fordern strengere Regeln

Um unternehmerischen Betrügereien entgegen zu wirken, fordert Nieding neben wesentlich umfassenderen Wirtschaftlichkeitsüberprüfungen auch verstärkte Kontrollen beim Management. Zudem müsse der Gesetzgeber dafür sorgen, dass geprellte Anleger eine reelle Chance bekämen, Schadensersatzansprüche durchzusetzen. ?Der Staat muss Schadensersatzansprüche gegen Vorstände und Aufsichtsräte zulassen", sagt Nieding.

Die Zuständigkeit des Bundesaufsichtsamtes für den Wertpapierhandel (BaWe) zur Ahndung von Betrügereien ist allerdings begrenzt. Die Behörde kann nur teilweise gegen rechtliche Verstöße vorgehen (siehe Dossier: Die Hüter über die Finanzmärkte). Das Amt ermittelt lediglich bei dem Verdacht auf Insiderhandel oder bei mutmaßlichen Verstößen gegen die Vorschriften der Ad-hoc-Publizität. Für sonstige rechtliche Verstöße wie zum Beispiel Bilanzfälschung ist das BaWe nicht zuständig.

Wirtschaftsprüfer versagen

Um Bilanzfälschungen zu verhindern, wie bei Phenomedia (Xetra: 541490.DE - Nachrichten - Forum ) , sind in Deutschland die Wirtschaftsprüfer da. Aber mit dem Enron-Skandal sind diese Hüter über die ordnungsgemäße Rechnungslegung ebenfalls in die Kritik geraten (siehe Dossier: Die Fundamente der Wall Street wackeln). Nachdem sich die Prüfungsgesellschaft KPMG bei Comroad - trotz der schon seit langem kursierenden Gerüchte - erst das Mandat niederlegte, als das Kind längst in den Brunnen gefallen war, waschen die Wirtschaftsprüfer nun zeitig ihre Hände in Unschuld.

KPMG beeilte sich am Dienstag mit der Mitteilung, bislang keinen Bestätigungsvermerk für den Jahresabschluss 2001 von Phenomedia erteilt zu haben. Grund sei unter anderem, dass das Unternehmen trotz mehrmaliger intensiver Aufforderung noch offene Nachweise für angeblich ausstehende Forderungen bis heute nicht vorgelegt habe. An der Erstellung oder Überprüfung der Quartalsabschlüsse zum 30. Juni 2001 und zum 30. September 2001 sei KPMG in keiner Weise beteiligt gewesen. Denn Quartalsberichte müssen die Unternehmen am Neuen Markt zwar vorlegen, diese sind allerdings nicht testiert.

Regeln erhöhen nicht die Moral

Ob allerdings strengere Regeln die Enttäuschungen und Betrügereien am Neuen Markt verhindert hätten, ist fraglich. Immerhin ist der Neue Markt mit seinen zahlreichen Vorschriften das transparenteste Segment der deutschen Börse. Und selbst in dem ?Land der Aktionäre? USA mit den wohl stengsten Regeln und der besten Börsenaufsicht, blieben die Bilanzfälschungen von Enron lange unentdeckt. Was der Markt braucht ist eine bessere Unternehmensaufsicht. Zwar haben in den jüngsten Skandalen Vorstände und Wirtschaftsprüfer ihr Fett weg bekommen, kaum Kritik mussten dagegen die Aufsichtsräte einstecken.

Anders als die Wirtschaftsprüfer sollten sie die Strukturen und Eigenheiten der Unternehmen genau kennen und auch ihre Beteiligungsverflechtung durchschauen. Den Aufsichtsräten sollte am ehestens auffallen, wenn die in der Bilanz vorgelegten Zahlen nicht die Wirklichkeit des Unternehmens und dessen Zahlungsströme abbilden. Solche Betrügereien sind von Außenstehenden, wie Wirtschaftsprüfern oder Analysten, kaum zu durchschauen.

Aufsichtsrat muss stärker gefordert werden

Der neu geschaffene Corporate-Governance-Kodex der Bundesregierung fordert beispielsweise, dass nicht mehr als zwei ehemalige Vorstandsmitglieder in dem Aufsichtsgremium vertreten sein sollen. Zudem sollte ihre Informationspflicht verbessert werden. Allerdings sind diese Vorschläge nicht gesetzlich fixiert, die Einhaltung ist freiwillig. Die moralischen und ethischen Vorstellungen gehen oftmals weit auseinander - zumindest zwischen Mitarbeitern, Vorständen, Analysten und Kapitalanlegern. Die oftmals personellen Verflechtungen zwischen Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat sowie die lasche Ausübung der Pflichten als Aufsichtsrat haben, ebenso wie die Wirtschaftsprüfer, den Vorstände zu viel Freiraum gelassen.

Sicherlich wäre es für den Neuen Markt wichtig, wenn sich Schadensersatzforderungen auch gegen Vorstände und Mitarbeiter persönlich richten könnten. Alleine schon, um den Akteuren die bisher offensichtlich vielfach nicht vorhandene Moral nahe zu bringen und sie dazu zu zwingen, sich den gesellschaftlich-ethischen Regeln auseinander zu setzen. Aber Gesetze alleine können dem Neuen Markt nicht helfen, das verlorene Vertrauen zurück zu gewinnen. Dies ist ein mühsamer Prozess, bei dem Vorstände, Aufsichtsräte, Analysten und auch Aktionäre wieder einen ethischen Konsens finden müssen.

Dieser müsste über den im Zuge des Shareholder-Value-Gedankens oftmals sehr kurzfristigen Blick - wie beispielsweise die Quartalszahlen - hinausgehen. Denn viele Skandale am Neuen Markt konnten nur entstehen, weil sich die Vorstände nur mit der gegenwärtigen Lage beschäftigt haben, aber die Zukunft, sowohl für das Geschäftsmodell als auch für Finanzen und Bilanzen, außer Acht gelassen haben. Der Sustainability-Gedanke, der durch nachhaltige Unternehmensführung die langfristige Rentabilität sichert, könnte im derzeitigen Umfeld weiter gedeihen.

May 02, 2002
JYRA RESEARCH INC (JYRAE.OB)
form 8-K
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENT AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURES

Jyra makes 2001 and restated 2000 financial statements available in Form 8 filing.

London, UK - May 2, 2002: Jyra (OTCBB:JYRAE): today announced that it has made available in a Form 8 filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission SEC on May 2, 2002 its December 31, 2001 financial statements and restated December 31, 2000 financial statements. These statements are not accompanied by an Auditor`s Report and therefore do not satisfy the requirements of filing for a Form 10-K. The Company was unable to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 by the due date and as a result the Company`s Security Symbol has been appended with an "E" and will be ineligible for quotation and subject to removal from the OTCBB in 30 calendar days from April 22, 2002.

On April 2, 2002 the Company filed a Form NT10-K stating that the Company`s Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time because of additional work necessary by Registrant`s management to correct inaccuracies in previously reported figures relating to currency exchange differences. During February and March the Company and its Auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, detected that there were some technical inaccuracies in the calculation of the Foreign currency translation gains and losses, the Company was advised by its Auditors that it would have to restate the affected historical annual financials for 2000 and quarterly financials for 2001.

Jyra and its auditors were not able to complete the audit of the annual financial statements prior to April 15, 2002. It was the intention of the Company to comply with applicable regulations and to have its 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing could not be made on time due to the delays described above.

During the period of reworking the Company`s financial statements, a further detailed review by the Company and its auditors revealed other technical inaccuracies including Deferred tax related to unrealised gains on available or sale securities, and a stock split.

Due to the Company`s deteriorating financial position during the reworking of its financial statements when the reworked Form 10-K was under final review at the end of April the Auditors, being aware of the financial condition of the Company were then unable to provide an Audit Opinion.

Resolution of the Company`s financial situation is dependent upon additional funding to meet current commitments, continue development of our business and limit uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern; the prospect of obtaining such funding is uncertain. The Company is in an immediate cash crisis and currently anticipates a negative cash position to occur during May 2002 unless additional cash is received from the sale of our equity securities, merger, acquisition or a combination of such or from revenue arrangements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is in discussions with various financial and commercial parties the result of which may include financing, merger or a combination of such. The Company`s management has reasonable expectations that a transaction is possible. However there can be no assurance the Company will be able to successfully conclude any transaction. If the Company is unable to conclude a transaction, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. No adjustment to the Company`s financial statements has been made to reflect the consequence of this. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As a result, the Company`s financial statements do not have an Audit opinion and therefore the Company is a delinquent filer. The Company has been advised that on completing a successful and satisfactory resolution of its current financial difficulties its Auditors will review the situation and provide an appropriate Audit opinion. The Company`s Security Symbol has been appended with an "E" (OTCBB:JYRAE formally OTCBB:JYRA)and will be ineligible for quotation and subject to removal from the OTCBB in 30 calendar days from April 22, 2002 if the NASD does not receive information indicating that the company is current in its public reporting obligations pursuant to Rule 6530. The Company`s management believes that it is unlikely to satisfy the NASD requirement prior to the expiry of the 30 day grace period.

The statements in this press release that relate to future plans, events or performance are forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Readers are, accordingly, cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as to the date hereof. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties is set forth in the Company`s most recent report on Form 10-K. Jyra Research Inc. undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect results, events or circumstances after the date hereof.

P.S.:
und falls sie doch bald pleite sind, ist der Shorter - wenn es ihn geben sollte - an seinem Ziel:
die Technologie für ne Appel und ne Ei zu bekommen:
"Diese Firma wird nun entgültig wegen Ihrer Unfähigkeit zur Kommunikation, aber auch der Unfähigkeit ihrer Aktionäre untereinander, geschlossen. Wir danken den Idealisten, die eine geniale Technologie entwickelt haben, die jetzt diejenigen spottbillig kaufen können, die nicht in der Lage waren, etwas Gleichwertiges zu entwickeln."

. . . so kriegt man nach 3 Jahren des Shortens doch noch das, was man haben wollte.
Dank der (englischen) Ignoranz und Arroganz des Management von Jyra und der Blödheit ihrer (deutschen u. holländischen)Aktionäre!

Reuters Market News
Micromuse to buy British Riversoft

By Ilaina Jonas

NEW YORK, June 19 (Reuters) - Micromuse Inc. (NasdaqNM:MUSE - News) on Wednesday said it would buy struggling British software firm RiverSoft Plc (London:RSFT.L - News) in a $65 million cash deal that would give the maker of software that searches networks for problems the technology to analyze the causes of those problems.
ADVERTISEMENT

A weak telecommunications spending climate has left RiverSoft living on its considerable amount of cash, which analysts said will translate into a much lower price tag than seen at first glance.

"(Micromuse) got a very good deal, the shareholders at RiverSoft got a very good deal," Friedman, Billings, Ramsey analyst Nitsan Hargil said.

RiverSoft accepted a 17-3/4 pence per share cash offer, representing a 58 percent premium to its closing share price of 11-1/4p on Tuesday. After the news of the offer was released, shares on Wednesday closed at 17p.

Although the deal calls for San Francisco-based Micromuse to pay about pay 43.3 million pounds ($64.7 million) for RiverSoft, Hargil estimated the price is about $5 million, plus $10 million debt.

In addition to products and people, Micromuse also will be get RiverSoft`s cash, which Hargil estimated was in the range of $60 million.

Greg Brown, Micromuse chairman and chief executive said British takeover regulations forbade him from disclosing details during the offer period. However, he said "restructuring will be necessary."

Analysts believe that Micromuse will cut most of the company`s 166 employees.

"The reality is it`s a nice product, but it sells into the exact same customer base that Micromuse already sell into," said CIBC World Markets Corp. analyst Hampton C. Adams.

SINGLE-PRODUCT COMPANY

"You can essentially just take that product, maybe you keep some of the R&D people because they`re specific to the product themselves, and you sell it right through the channel that Micromuse already has established," he said.

RiverSoft ended its March 31 quarter with 48 million pounds ($71.68 million), Brown said. But it has been losing about $10 million a quarter, Hargil said.

RiverSoft said that as a single-product company, it has not been able to lift its revenues high enough to turn a profit.

"As conditions have deteriorated RiverSoft like so many independent software vendors has been faced with a challenge of achieving sufficient market traction in an anemic spending environment," Timothy Murray, RiverSoft`s chief executive, said.

London-based RiverSoft was founded in 1997 by Phillip Tee, Micromuse`s former chief technology officer (CTO). He currently serves as RiverSoft`s president and CTO.

The well-funded company generated $8 million in 2000, $10 million in 2001 and $800,000 in first quarter 2002.

Shares in RiverSoft, which floated at 94 pence in December 2000, have underperformed its peers by about 45 percent in the past 12 months as reduced tech capital spending took its toll.

RiverSoft last August axed almost one-third of its staff in an attempt to conserve money until it managed to turn a profit, estimated then to be either late this year or early next.

Micromuse in April posted a sharp decline in second-quarter profits on the back of a weak telecoms market, the source of 75 percent of its revenue.

Riversoft agrees to £43m bid from Micromuse
By Ben Hunt and Maija Pesola
Published: June 20 2002 5:00


Riversoft, the UK network management software company, has agreed to a takeover bid from Micromuse, a US rival, in a £43.3m deal that values the business at less than its reported net cash.

Micromuse is to pay 17?p a ordinary share for Riversoft, a 58 per cent premium on its 11?p closing price on Tuesday. At the end of March, Riversoft said it had cash of £48.4m.

Greg Brown, Micromuse chief executive, denied an offer price so close to Riversoft`s cash balance meant little value was ascribed to the latter`s technology, developed by its founder, Phil Tee, once of Micromuse.

Riversoft makes software that detects faults on computer networks. "They have struggled to gain the marketing and sales traction that we have achieved, but we believe that dropping their technology into our marketing and sales channel offers the potential for significant economic enhancement," he said.

Micromuse said it had received irrevocable undertakings to accept the deal from Riversoft directors and shareholders representing 58 per cent of the share capital. It expects to close the deal in about eight weeks.

Riversoft said in February that its cash would be sufficient to take it through to profitability at the end of the year, or early in 2003, despite reporting a 49 per cent increase in full-year losses.

Yesterday, however, it said that in a weak telecoms market it did not have sufficient resources to sell effectively to large corporate customers.

Comment

While Riversoft`s technology has always enjoyed a strong reputation in the industry, the difficulties of the past year have cast serious doubt over its ability to thrive in a tough market. The fact that Micromuse will pay little more than Riversoft has in the bank speaks volumes about the UK group`s ability to exploit the potential of its software independently. Shareholders who remember the heady days of February 2001 when shares reached a high of 156?p may be disappointed with the 17?p offered by Micromuse. But with no evidence of an imminent upturn in spending by telecommunications operators, it may be the best they could have expected.

CHEVIN: Acquisition of Jyra Research will lead to new technologies, customer base and channel relationship

Aug 01, 2002 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Coup will bring:

* World-beating combination of technologies

* New Global 2000 client list including -- O2, BAA and Carphone Warehouse

* R&D savings of 80,000 man hours

London -- Leading IT network management and traffic monitoring solutions provider, Chevin, has acquired the core operating business of US company Jyra Research Inc. The acquisition will see the transfer of technology, personnel and international client base to Luton-based Chevin.

According to Chevin`s new CEO, Simon Copeland, it is the technological marriage
of Chevin`s existing product range and Jyra`s solutions, brought about by the
acquisition, which is the most important aspect of the whole deal.

"The main reason behind the acquisition was the excellent fit between TeVista, our software for network managers, and Jyra Research`s CIO-focussed Jyra technology. By combining the two, a new generation of comprehensive network solutions will emerge; one that can offer all the functionality of much more
expensive network monitoring and troubleshooting systems, but at more realistic price ranges for a wider enterprise market.

"Jyra`s power is in its unique ability to relay understandable network information to senior management - information on which a business can succeed or fail.

TeVista, on the other hand, provides detailed technical data of use to the network level engineer in trouble shooting and managing the network effectively.
Combined, the two will deliver one of the most powerful families of enterprise-wide, network management solutions. This is planned before the year is out."

With its broader offering, Chevin`s relationship with its channel partners is also set to change. In Q1 of this year, the channel was responsible for around 50% of Chevin`s product sales. Chevin will now structure its relationship with the channel so its partners handle 100% of both its TeVista and TeVista Expert core product sales whilst it handles all new product activities itself, initially.

Acquiring Jyra`s ready-made technology, Chevin gained 80,000 man-hours of development time, saving millions of pounds, which would have taken 20 developers working typical hours until 2004 to complete. The acquisition also attracted further investment from MTI Partners, the venture capital company which provided first-round funding for Chevin in Novenber 2000. This additional funding brings MTI`s investment in Chevin to UKGBP4.5 million.

Taking on the installed user base of the Jyra product range, which includes some major wireless operators, including O2, is an aspect of the acquisition the company is treating very seriously. Chevin is assuring them of full service support and a seamless continuation of the level of service received from Jyra.

"The future potential for our business created by acquiring Jyra, to bring new and world-beating products to market more quickly than we would have achieved alone, is, perhaps, the most important aspect of our decision to take over
Jyra`s operations," Copeland concluded.

Jyra Research Inc. was established in 1990 and developed distributed network service management solutions that provide monitoring and performance trending of computer networks.

mal abgesehen vom "chart", der ja auch ein Skandal ist:
heute + 900$ bei 12.000 Stück zu Day`s Range 0.0001 - 0.01,
macht die nachgeschobene PR allen deutlich:
DA IST NIX MEHR FÜR EUCH AR$$AKTIONÄRE
wir haben den Laden für sage und schreibe (pound)37,200 verhöckert und:
"As a condition of the sale, Jyra Research Inc. was required to waive all rights that it may have had in the intellectual property of Jyra Research Ltd., and refrain from developing, selling or dealing in products providing functionality of that provided by the Jyra Research Ltd. products for a period of 3 years, in exchange for a payment of (pound)22,500. "

Da kommt die Frage auf mit wieviel sich die "Aktionärs-Ignoranten-und-Arroganten-JyraCrew ( "everything goes fine" - eine der zahlreichen skandalösen Lügen)hat bezahlen lassen . . . ?

Das war`s dann wohl mit der "Wunderaktie" JYRA ?!!

Wer noch Fragen hat, kann sich ja an Mr. Adams wenden, dessen TelNr am Schluß der PR steht; Email-Adresse haben sie "sicherheitshalber" wohl weggelassen.

Jyra Clarifies the Acquisition of Various Assets From the Liquidators of Its Wholly Owned Subsidiary by Chevin Limited

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2002--Jyra Research Inc.(JYRA.PK) announces that certain assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jyra Research Ltd., an English corporation in liquidation proceedings, have been sold to Chevin Limited, an English provider of information technology products.

Chevin Limited did not purchase any rights to use the name Jyra or Jyra Research, nor did Chevin Limited purchase any of the stock of Jyra Research Inc. or Jyra Research Ltd. (a Chevin Limited press release dated August 1, 2002 mistakenly stated that Chevin Limited had acquired Jyra Research).

Up until Jyra Research Ltd. was placed into Creditors Voluntary Liquidation in June, both Jyra Research Inc. and Jyra Research Ltd. had pursued six parties from the United Kingdom, USA and Canada, to acquire all or part of its business assets. Chevin Limited was the only party to make an offer for various assets and it was that offer that the Liquidators accepted since no other potential purchasers were interested.

As required by English procedures, a Liquidator had been appointed to dispose of the company`s assets (upon appointment of the Liquidators, the former management of Jyra Research Ltd. ceased to have any managerial control over the company). The Liquidators elected to sell Jyra Research Ltd.`s Intellectual Property Rights, goodwill and trade information along with some computer and network equipment, to Chevin Limited for (pound)37,200. As a condition of the sale, Jyra Research Inc. was required to waive all rights that it may have had in the intellectual property of Jyra Research Ltd., and refrain from developing, selling or dealing in products providing functionality of that provided by the Jyra Research Ltd. products for a period of 3 years, in exchange for a payment of (pound)22,500.

Jyra Research Inc. has explored but has been unsuccessful in securing any alternative business for itself. The Company, since it has no business, believes its equity securities to be worthless and it has insufficient financial resource to make any distribution to shareholders. The Company`s Board of Directors is seeking advice concerning liquidating or dissolving the Corporation.

The statements in this press release that relate to future plans, events or performance are forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Readers are, accordingly, cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as to the date hereof. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties is set forth in the Company`s most recent report on Form 8-K. Jyra Research Inc. undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect results, events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Jyra Research Inc., is Incorporated With Limited Liability in Delaware, USA

oder wie mir heute jemand per Email schrieb:

"One thing I cann`t understand.
Chevin says that it has saved 80.000 man hours for the development of the technology Jyra did develop.
So I think they did save 80.000 x say $ 50,00 an hour is
$ 8.000,000,00 and they could acquire that technology for
(pound) 59.700,00.

That is what I call a good deal the Liquidators did achieve for Jyra and its share-holders.

What I also don`t understand ïs why one of the boys at Jyra didn`t by the technology for that absurd amount.
I think "something is rotten in The State of Danmark".

UNBELIEVABLE!!

The licquidators should be arrested and brought to trial.

Cann`t we do anything?

Somebody must has filled his pockets.
"

Sehr richtig:
selbst für die absurd niedrige "Verkaufssumme" hat sich niemand bei Jyra bereit erklären können, die Technologie selbst zu kaufen, um event. bessere Zeiten abzuwarten.
. . .
da kann man schon spekulieren, wieso . . .

Ja und da bleibt mir nur zu sagen, wohl denen die dem allgegenwärtigen Sprachrohr immer noch die "Stange halten".

Eine Company, die es nie geschafft hat konkrete sales zu
generieren und immer versucht hat mit den grossen zu mitzu-
spielen, verhökert zu dem Betrag den einige von uns direkt
investierten.

Fallen euch eigentlich paralellen auf? Grosse Namen, keine
Ereignisse, grosse Worte - keine Taten, grosse Ankündigungen - keine Sales?

und immer sind die anderen Schuld.

Wünsche wohl zu ruhen (auf ewig) Part 1

Good buy ???? Please ask yourself and your contacts

Langsam scheint es bis in die hinteren Jyra-Aktionärsreihen durchzudringen, dass Jyra verscherbelt wurde.
Heute rief mich jemand an (der auch noch investiert ist), ob ich wüßte, wo Archie abgeblieben ist.
Nein, weiß ich nicht.
Dann kam da noch eine Frage per Email:
"was hat das mit der uebernahme auf sich?? es kann doch nicht sein, dass ueber unsere koepfe hinweg verkauft wird, ohne uns daran zu beteiligen. wir haben schliesslich die aktien und die aktien sind der firmenwert?? wie geht so etwas????"

Sehr richtig, das hatte ich mich auch schon nach der PR vom 1. Aug. gefragt und habe deswegen gleich bei Simon Copeland/Annie Johnson, Chevin : [e-mail] nachgefragt:
"PLEASE CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US JYRA-SHAREHOLDERS??!!"
Eine Antwort ist bis auf den heutigen Tag nicht erfolgt, außer -Zufall oder nicht? - dass die "glücklichen Übernehmer" eilig am nächsten Tag eine 2. PR nachgeschoben haben mit " Chevin Limited did not purchase any rights to use the Jyra or Jyra Research, : nor Chevin Limited purchase any of the stock of Jyra Research Inc. or Jyra Research Ltd. (a Chevin Limited press release dated August 1, 2002 mistakenly stated that Chevin Limited had acquired Jyra Research)."
Da blicke noch einer durch . . .
aber : "mistakenly" also auf gut Deutsch "fälschlicher Weise", eben wie alles, was wir so mit Jyra erlebt haben nicht wahr?, war eben alles ein einziges "Fälschliches".
Für 37,200 engl. Pfund = exakt 58.684,335 Euro ( Kurs 1: 0,6339) den Laden verkloppt. Dafür "spart" Chevin ja auch 80.000 Arbeitsstunden und "which would have taken 20 developers working typical hours until 2004 to complete. "

Echt Klasse Mr. Adams und Mr. Robinson! Macht also bei einem Stundenlohn von 50 $ exakt 4 Mio us$ (und nicht wie in der geposteten Email falsch berechnet 8 mio)
Das wiederum macht "theortisch" bei ca 14,5 mio Aktien 0,27 us$ pro Aktie (falls wir hätten was kriegen sollen)
Schon wirklich erstaunlich, dass die Jungs inklusiv Mr. R. Elsom (dem Entwickler) also jahrelang umsonst gearbeitet haben sollen?!!

Aber, um auf die obige Frage zurückzukommen: uns (FIRMANANTEILHABER !!) haben die Lügenbarone ja nicht gefragt !
Und, wird jemand aus der Jyra-Aktienäregeschmeinde dagegen rechtlich angehen? Nein, Mr Adams und Mr Robinson, da brauchen Sie sich aller Wahrscheinlichkeitkeine Sorgen zu machen, denn diese Gemeinde hat bis auf ganz wenige Ausnahmen noch nie VERANTWORTUNG für ihr eigenes Investment übernommen. Ver-antwortung ist "antworten"; man braucht sich nur dieses "Diskussions"board ansehen: es gibt keine Antworten.

Oder soll man z.B. die "Antwort" eines "checkers" als Antwort begreifen? Von der Qualität der Postings läßt sich ja nicht unbedingt auf die "Qualität" des Schreibers schließen. "Checkers" Posting ist es wert, genauer zu betrachten, weil es sehr gut die "Charakter" eines Großteils der "Gemeinde" wiedergibt:
1. der angebliche Besserwisser in seiner Arroganz ("Ja und da bleibt mir nur zu sagen, wohl denen . . .), aber rüber kommt eigentlich nur sein immer gleichen stereotypen Aussagen, was keine Inhalte und Infos sind ("Eine Company, die es nie geschafft hat konkrete sales zu generieren und immer versucht hat mit den grossen zu mitzuspielen,. . ." - als wenn wir das nicht schon wüßten, Herr Schlaumeier!)
2. Sein Zynismus und indirekte Vorwürfe als "verschlüsselten" Andeutungen:
"wohl denen die dem allgegenwärtigen Sprachrohr immer noch die "Stange halten".
Nicht in der Lage "Roß und Reiter" zu nennen; natürlich meint er die LTR.
Selbstverständlich ist diese Kritik berechtigt, aber den Mumm sich dieser Adresse zu stellen besitzt er nicht.
Stattdessen in weiterer "Märchenerzählart":
"Fallen euch eigentlich paralellen auf?"
und: "Wünsche wohl zu ruhen (auf ewig) Part 1"
Doch, doch, er ist ein ganz Schlauer, der uns verklickern will (danke für die "Warnung" ), dass nach dem Mißerfolg von Jyra jetzt Part2 = Path1 folgen wird.
"Please ask yourself and your contacts"
Ja, ja, das ist wirklich wirklich interessant: auf der einen Seite gute Kontakte zum CEO von Path1 Mr. Cary zu pflegen und auf der anderen Seite Path1 bei jeder Gelegenheit runterzubügeln.
Was schlau, Mensch, wenn wenigstens mal Informationen rüberkämen, die einige (durchaus berechtigte Kritik - die ich nicht abstreiten will) rechtfertigen würden!
Aber - ich sagte es bereits - von der Qualität des Posters läßt sich nicht unbedingt auf seinen Schreiber schliesen. Wer käme da schon zum dem Schluß, das "checker" doch sage und schreibe bei der "CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT" in Zürich arbeitet.
Aber, da haben wir Nichtbanker und dummen Kleinanleger inzwischen ja sehr viel lernen dürfen, was "Vertrauen" und "Kompetenz" anbelangt . . .
Irgendwie erinnert ich mich an der Stelle an Mr. "Heraklit" von den "guten alten Jyra- und Path1-boards", damals bei den Anfängen und dann ca 2 weitere Jahre. Da kann man auch nicht auf Grund seiner Posting schließen, das dieser bei Siemens (Bruchsal) gearbeitet hat. War auch ein ganz ganz "Schlauer" oder besser gesagt "Gerissenen Hund". 10-15 verschiedene Boardnamen gehen allein auf sein Konto. Beim Webmaster war man zuerst einmal etwas "konstaniert" als ich die IP-Adressen haben überprüfen lassen und mein Verdacht sich bestätigte: alles ein und die selbe IP- Adresse = mutmaßlich also die gleiche Person.
Doch, doch, das ist schon mehr als aberwitzig, wenn man sich vor dem Hintergrund dieser Tatsache die alten Boards durchliest (die, wo jeder nicht voll-registrierte" posten durfte) und erkennt, dass bei allen mm100, rotkäppchens und bösen wölfen, xbaas, accumulates, sunstar, rotzis, erichs- Ids und weiteren sich hier zeitweise zu 70% ein und die selbe Person mit sich selbst unterhält!!!)
Wieso ich das wiederholt erwähne?
Ist doch klar, würde jemand von der (deutschen)Jyragemeinde Jyra verklagt, würden sicherlich nicht nur die dokumentierten Lügen eines Archie Adams ("we go Nasdaq", etc. ) oder einer Mrs Annie O`Niell "everything goes fine" ( . . . bis zum bankrott) ans Tageslicht kommen, sondern auch die "Anfänge der deutschen Jyraszene" à la "heraklit" etc., die bewußte und willentliche Täuschung von Aktionären!
Damit beantwortet sich die Frage, ob eine Klage gegen Jyra von deutschen Anlegern kommen könnte event. von selbst . . . oder möchte sich da jemand bitte "selbst anzeigen"?
Leider gibt es das gesetzliche Möglichkeit der Klage auf Schmerzensgeld wegen Mobbing erst seit dem 1. August (2002), sonst hätte ich Mr. Heraklit alias Rotkäppchen, Böser Wolf und Erich sicherlich von seinem Siemensarbeitsplatz vor die Staatanwaltschaft "ans Licht" geholt.

Nicht unerwähnt lassen möchte ich die weiteren Stimmen und "Aspekte" dieses Jyra-kinderladens:
"hätte ich doch bloß nicht x und y kennengelernt (die mir Jyra "aufgeschwatzt" haben). (jemand, der mit ca 12000 Aktien zu 8$ (!) investiert ist)
oder diese:
"Wie schon öfters gesagt, ich ärgere mich vor allem über meine eigene Doofheit. Wie blöd und borniert konnte ich nur sein und nicht schon lange meine Jyra aktien verkauft zu haben".

Nein, nicht eure Blödheit ist es, sondern eure Trägheit, Bequemlichkeit und euer "Nicht-Engagement". Andere machen lassen und sonst nur zugucken, und hinterher sich "selbst bedauern", jetzt ist es zu spät.

Unerwähnt soll selbstverständlich nicht das "Sprachrohr" bleiben, die LTR. Auf eine Anfrage von mir nach der letzten PR, was das nun für uns Aktionäre bedeuten würde, erhielt ich die Antwort:
"leider sieht es nicht gut aus fuer uns aktionaere. Ich war auch erschreckt wenn ich da las von 80.000 arbeitsstunden
usw."

hmmm??, na ja, vielleicht haben sich ja die Propagandisten bereits schon vor längerem von der Aktien verabschiedet.
Erstaunlich ist, das eben diese, die früher "den Verdacht hegten", Mr Robinson, der ja ehemals von Cisco kam, könnte gegen Jyra firmenintern arbeiten und Jyra versteckt sabotieren (zum Vorteil für Cisco) sich doch jetzt - man höre und staune !- mit eben diesem Lügner finanziell ins gleiche Bett gelegt hat: "Narrowstep". Hier haben sich "Mr Robinson and family" zusammen mit John schon reichlich mit superbilligen shares eingedeckt und warten darauf, dass sich Aktionäte finden (die eben diesem Mr. Robinson noch glauben), um hier zu investieren und dann an die Börse (auch noch an das OTC-Zocker-Board !) zu gehen. Und das in diesen Börsenzeiten!!
Auf jeden Fall: von dem früheren Engegement der LTR für "Jyras Zukunft" ist nichts, aber auch Nullkommanichts mehr in irgendeiner Form übrig!
Auf ein Neues mit "Narrowstep"?!?

Zu erwähnen wäre auch noch die Antwort vom holländischen "Börsenguru" Mr Kamer, der ja seine Jüngerschaft in Jyra und Path1 "geritten" hat.
Wie mir ein Informant, der mit ihn in Konakt steht schrieb (nach der Übernahme-PR):
"Kamer wrote me also today that it is over and out. Forget Jyra."

Echt Klasse, Mr Kamer!

Und?
Unterm Strich vorläufig?
Man lernt viel, auch wenn dieses Lernen seinen verdammten Preis hat.
"Du mußt nicht in kleine Klitschen investieren sondern in die richtig Großen, das ist sicher".

Ja, so wie in die Enrons, Worldcoms etc, nicht wahr?
Wie im Kleinen so im Großen, oder umgekehrt, nicht wahr?
Die häßliche gierige Fratze des Wirtschaftsimperialismus zeigt sich zum Erbrechen.
Ich hatte mit einigen Postings auf dem Path1-board (http://www.wallstreet-online.de/ws/community/board/threadpag… )
auch auf die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem "wirtschaftlichen und dem politischen Imperialismus" (anders kann man diesen Irrsinn gar nicht mehr bezeichnen und diesen Dreck, der überall hochkommt) hingewiesen. Aber, nur die wenigsten scheinen ja in der Lage zu sein, auch noch "politisch" denken zu können oder zu wollen.
Der Aberwitz zum Brüllen:
"(Wir sind die Guten - Wir sind auf der Seite der Engel)"

Danke an dieser Stelle auch für das Posting von JoeUp im Path1-board:
"Reform a la USA

Das Reförmchen des Kapitalismus

. . .
"Statt Kontrollen und Strafen müsse man die Wurzel des "Raubrittertums" beseitigen: den Anreiz, den Aktienkurs mittels Tricks nach oben zu treiben. "

ach ja, das waren noch Zeiten, als "Antarius", diesen Ausdruck schon vor 2 Jahren hier in den Jyraboards gebracht hatte, nicht wahr? . . . inzwischen dämmert es ja event. auch den "Massen", was Sache ist.
Allerdings habe ich meine erheblichen Zweifel, ob - wie die "Massen" der Anleger" - auch die Massen im politischen Bewußtsein aufwachen wollen und den Mut haben, mal "Informationen" in Frage zu stellen und dieses dumm-dreiste Gelabbere der Politiker zu hinterfragen!
Ja, ja, hier ist die Freiheit und dort ist das "Reich des Bösen", drum auf ein Neues mit "uneingeschränkter Solitatität" mit "unseren Freunden" in einem neuen Desertstorm" das "Böse" besiegen.

Also meine (sorry zynischen) Tips für die Zukunft:
wie wir es mit Jyra erlebt und "gelernt" haben:
Alles glauben,
Es den anderen überlassen,
auf andere vertrauen,
Die Verantwortung anderen überlassen,
Andere antworten lassen . . .
und
Sich zurücklehnen,

Daher am Besten:
CDU wählen, damit die Bösen, Bösen eins auf die Rübe kriegt . . . (und wir "Guten" an die Ölquellen)
oder/und:
Rüstungsaktien kaufen,
kommt echt gut in diesen Kriegsvorbereitungszeiten, denn wenn, dann kracht die Börse noch mal so richtig abwärts (außer die Rüstungsaktien versteht sich, denn: bei jedem Krieg wird erst mal der alte "Rüstungsschrott" verballern (war schon beim Afganistankrieg so, Stichwort: "daisy cutting" (das waren diese "Benzinbomben" mit ihrem verherrenden Wirkungen),übersetzt: "Gänseblümchen-Schneider"- hatten schon immer nette Namen dafür ausgedacht das "freie Amerika", so wie "little big boy" für die Hiroshima-Atombombe - und wenn der alte Schrott wech is muß man Neues bauen, gelle?)

Wer allerdings den Mut hat, Dinge zu hinterfragen (im eigenen (?) Denken) meine andere Empfehlung (aber Achtung ist "bewußtseinsverändernd" und man sieht die politische Welt hinterher nicht mehr mit den gleichen Augen):
"Attack of the Hawks - Angriff der Falken"

(das Buch Das Buch kann man sich komplett(?) aus dem Internet herunterladen! bei:http://home.earthlink.net/~treol/hawk/)

Letzte Empfehlung für diejenigen, die es bequem haben wollen:
weiterpennen,
nur diejenigen sollen mich dann bitte mit ihren "Selbstmitleidsäußerungen à la "Wie blöd und borniert konnte ich sein" in Ruhe lassen!

Hi Antarius,


hast Du neue Info zu Jyra?!
Es finden ja immer noch Umsätze statt - was geht da Deiner Meinung nach vor.

Grüße + Frohes Fest

[Antarius]

@mccjhn:
ja, ist mir auch schon seit längerem aufgefallen, daß es ab und zu "Handelsvolumen" gibt; die einzige Erklärung, die ich hätte, wäre, dass noch Akionäre ihre noch im Depot vorhandenen Stücke verkaufen (ich u. alle, die ich kenne und Jyraaktien haben, haben nicht(!) verkauft b.z.w ihre Jyraaktien nicht "ausbuchen" lassen). Allesdings verstehe ich nicht, daß "verkaufen" überhaupt noch geht, denn dann müßte es auch Käufer geben!, aber wieso und warum kaufen die?
Oder sollte die Jyra-Leiche doch noch mal auferstehen . . .?

und immer schön an die Story mit dem toten Esel denken

oder auch:
wie schlägt man auf einen Kadaver, damit er noch zuckt und manche den Eindruck bekommen: der ist ja noch lebendig,
eben mit
47.000 x 0,01 us$ = mit schlappen 470 us$!

Hallo Leute, kauft doch bitte noch mehr Nieten!

war es schon zu "Lebzeiten" eine tolle Abzocke, klappt es ja vielleicht auch noch mit dem Kadaver

Antarius

P.S.:
frei nach dem "rumor": wir kriegen unseren Einsatz ( = 8 us$/ pro Aktie !!) noch `raus

P.S. 2:
ich leg`noch einen dazu:
mal GMGC eingeben (General Magic)
ist echt Magic !
heute ebenfalls +900% bei sagenhaften 200Stück zu 0,oo1 = ??? us$ !!!

wowwww!!
echt Klasse, heute wieder um 900% gestiegen bei 500 Stücken von 0.00. . . auf 0,0. . . us$

erstaulich ist nicht das Gerücht (das - topsecret -von "oberster SAP-Stelle" seit einigen Wochen bei einigen "eingesickert" ist, dass SAP Jyra für ca 7 us$ kaufen will, sondern wer diesen Schwachsinn tatsächlich auch noch glaubt!

Was denn nun, ist die company nicht schon verkauft oder sind`s die Aktien oder das Produkt oder was ist noch zu "übernehmen" ?

Wie im Kleinen so im Großen?

Die ganz große ABZOCKE:

http://www.wallstreet-online.de/ws/news/news/main.php?uid=16…

Weihnachten im roten Bereich

Ein Mal werden wir noch wach ... und gerade fängt es an zu schneien. Der Dax will über die 3.900 Punkte und in Richtung auf die 4.000er Marke, und die Regierung wie die Opposition wollen eine radikale Steuerreform. Man sollte sich also gut anschnallen.

"Parmalat" stand früher immer auf den Rennwagen und auf den Tetra-Paks mit den passierten Tomaten. Parmalat ist aber eigentlich ein Milch-Konzern aus Italien. Jetzt hat man festgestellt, dass es ein bilanziertes Geschäftskonto mit vier Milliarden Euro gar nicht gibt. Das ist beinahe noch genialer als Bodos Schnabel hinter Gittern. Denn Umsätze erfinden kann sicherlich jedes Kind, ein erfundenes Konto hingegen ist schon noch ein Stückchen mehr.

Hoffentlich ziehen derartige Praktiken keine Kreise. Denn vielleicht stellt es sich dann einmal heraus, dass es Jürgen Schrempp von DaimlerChysler gar nicht gibt. Dass er nur eine vorgeschobene Figur ist, hinter der dunkle Kreise Milliarden abgezockt haben. Immerhin hat DaimlerChrysler mit Abstand die größte Steigerung der Vorstandgehälter aller Dax-Unternehmen im letzten Jahr zu verzeichnen. Über 130 Prozent ging es hier hinauf – wohingegen die DaimlerChrysler-Aktie im selben Zeitraum um knapp 40 Prozent an Wert verlor. Was ist cleveres Management? Das ist cleveres Management! Was natürlich ein weiteres Indiz dafür ist, dass es Jürgen Schrempp in Wirklichkeit gar nicht gibt.

Die große Frage, die uns alle über Weihnachten beschäftigen wird, ist also, wie man aus Milcheutern und Tomaten vier Milliarden Euro herausmelken beziehungsweise pressen kann. Passend zur Jahreszeit ist das ja: Der Weihnachtsmann ist rot, die sind Tomaten rot, die Bilanzen rot, die Warnlampen rot ... In diesem Sinne wünsche ich ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest!
