Chairman's Statement
In the year ended 31 December 2007 the Company incurred a loss on continuing
operations of $2.75 million (2006: $5.88 million) on turnover of $8.26 million
(2006: $6.57 million). At that date, the Company had a cash portfolio of $5.2 million.
The year ended 31 December 2007 was a turnaround year for the
Company. Following the completion of the strategic review in the last quarter
of 2006, I indicated in my Chairman's statement accompanying the 2006 results
that the Company intended to launch new products in the first half of 2007. I
am pleased to advise you that the first six months of the year saw the
introduction of the next generation of endpoints and infrastructure servers:
xPoint - a new top of the line room system featuring ISDN and 4CIF
technologies, VCBpro - a new state-of-the-art HD Multipoint appliance with
full audio and video transcoding and vPoint V8 - an HD desktop client.
In Q4 2007, Wainhouse Research, an independent market research firm
that focuses on critical issues in rich media communications and conferencing,
conducted an evaluation, sponsored by the Company, of Emblaze-VCON's xPoint
appliance-based videoconferencing system. The evaluation included ease of use,
video performance, audio performance, data collaboration support,
interoperability and security/ encryption. Based on the rating determined by
Wainhouse Research in the report, xPoint earned a good overall rating of 3.8
out of 5. Specific areas of strength include exceptional ease of use, strong
video performance, especially at relatively low call speeds, and solid
interoperability with the other systems in the test lab. Wainhouse Research
found that the xPoint performed at least as well, if not better, than its
peers and in many ways exceeded their expectations. The full report can be
found on the Company's website.
The second half of the year saw an overall change both on the
business and the operational side. The release of a brand new up-to-standard
product line has enabled us to sign distribution agreements with leading audio
and video resellers across the world and win new business. It has also enabled
us to embark on new OEM discussions with leading video vendors. Business focus
was shifted to better reflect the Company's core technology and vision - Video
over PC-based systems for competitive pricing.
On the operational side, the Company has dramatically improved its
execution capabilities as well as reducing the rate of returned units.
The Directors expect that demand for video over the desktop will
increase as enterprises worldwide move to replace and converge their legacy
analog systems into more advanced IP based products.
The growing demand for visual communication solutions will allow
Emblaze VCON to enhance its market presence through the introduction of the
xPoint and VCBpro products. Having a complete offering will enable us to
create a strong lead with AV resellers and take part in lucrative bids.
The early months of the current year will see further new product
launches and upgrades in our existing product line. Emblaze VCON intends to
extend its range of products and service offering to customers and enhance the
technology of existing products to Full HD.
Emblaze VCON will also endeavor to strengthen its leading position
in the desktop Video*over*IP with special focus on web-based collaborative
solutions. We will also strive to enhance our relationships and partnerships
with industry technology and service providers.
