Netpresenter, May 6th, Maastricht

Maastricht, the Netherlands, May 3rd, 2002 - Netpresenter, a Dutch software development company, has introduced new software for public emergency alert. The events of September 11th have increased demand for fast-pasted communication applications, of which Netpresenter is the leading supplier. Meanwhile Netpresenter has announced a profit increase over its financial year 2001.

On December 31st, 2001, Netpresenter has closed another financial year with increased profits, after a consecutive profit increase period as from 1999. The Dutch software developer is heavily focussed on the international market, deriving 60% of its turnover from abroad, of which 32% outside the European Union.

The turnover in the first quarter of 2002 showed a 43% increase against the same period in 2001. Netpresenter expects to remain profitable in 2002 while maintaining a steady percentage of growth.

The continuous growth and profitability of Netpresenter is remarkable given the fact that the company is 100% privately held, and operates without any external investors. The only exception has been a loan of Euro 141,300 from the Dutch Government in 1996, further to a governmental resolution regarding credit support for developing companies in the IT market (a.k.a. KREDO).

Netpresenter has concluded new distribution agreements for the territories of the United States, Denmark, Singapore and Brazil. Newly acquired clients in the last quarter include Mars, Canon Europe, TPG Sabic (formerly DSM Petrochemicals) and International Paper. These acquisitions generate new revenue streams, next to returning revenues from a growing number of licenses and long-term support contracts with existing customers, such as Nokia, Unilever, Mars and Amsterdam Airport.

Public Emergency Alert Software And New Content Management Server

The integration of Netpresenter's internal communication software and XML based content management servers is the basis of a new line of software products, expected to generate new revenue streams.

Netpresenter's new compact XML based content management server, enables executives to publish news on the company's internal website, and have it automatically screened on every PC as a screensaver, emergency pop-up window, cable TV information service or Kiosk. Thanks to this application companies for the first time have the ability to directly and actively present information to their employees, without having to wait for them to visit the Intranet or read their e-mail.

This easy way of creating news messages and presenting them on PC's and TV screens, makes the application ideal for public emergency alert systems. By means of such systems the public can be informed quickly and efficiently in the event of emergencies in public areas and buildings. For example, through the system the public can be informed on how and when to evacuate a building (e.g. shopping malls, government offices) or an area (e.g. airports, industrial areas). Especially since the events of September 11th, demand for these applications is booming. Netpresenter expects the first public emergency alert software to be installed before June 1st.
