Chairman’s Statement
In the six months ended 30 June 2007 the Company incurred a loss on continuing operations of $1.77 million (H1 2006: $2.81 million) on turnover of $3.01 million (H1 2006: $2.86 million). At that date, the Company had a cash portfolio of $6.8 million.
The first six months of the year have been spent reorganising our existing product line and introducing the next generations of room systems - a new top of the line room system – xPoint, featuring ISDN and 4CIF technologies - and a new HD MCU – VCBpro with full audio and video transcoding.
The introduction of xPoint and VCBpro will, assist the Company to re-establish its position within the market. Having a complete offering for the first time in many years will enable us to demonstrate a strong presence with leading AV resellers and take part in tenders for new systems.
In June 2007, the Company’s subsidiary signed the first sale of an xPoint system in China, according to which 250 units were sold for a total consideration of $800,000.
The Directors intend to extend its range of products and service offering to customers and enhance the technology of existing products and expect that the second half of the year will see a considerable number of new product launches and upgrades in our existing product line.
Emblaze VCON will endeavor to strengthen its leading position in Video-over-IP, focus on solutionbased selling and enhance its relationships and partnerships with industry technology and service providers.
