Business development highlights of the management-led presentation included the following:

  • As a result of Onstream Media’s ongoing partnership with Akamai, the Company has seen some expansion of its DMSP customer base, with approximately 30 customers added during just the first 2.5 months of the program. Onstream Media expects even faster growth of this client base and resulting revenues upon completion of the Web 2.0 automation of the DMSP.
  • Onstream Media is currently working with Five Across on several social networking projects where the Company will provide the technology for managing the user-generated content for these networks and the Company anticipates reporting on them over the next several months.
  • Onstream Media’s webcasting services have been selected for many high profile events and including webcasting a series of live discussions with Hillary Clinton on the future of our Country.
  • In addition to the Company’s previously announced enhancements to its Visual Webcaster, including the ability to offer live QuickTime encoding and streaming, the Company expects to roll out additional important enhancements to its Visual Webcaster platform throughout 2007 that will allow the company to maintain its technology lead in the webcasting marketplace.
  • During 2006 Onstream Media completed the launch of the Company’s lead-generating Webinar service. New Webinar clients include Marketing Executive Networking Group, American Fiber Systems, Mulvany Attard, Advanced Energy Institute and General Electric.

Randy Selman, chief executive officer of Onstream Media, stated, “We’ve started 2007 in a significantly stronger financial position, as recent warrant and option exercises and debenture conversions have resulted in both a significant cash infusion and debt reduction. We have the potential opportunity to receive additional equity infusions to even further strengthen our balance sheet.  We have some very strong strategic relationships, including Akamai and Five Across. Taken together with our ongoing product and service enhancements, we believe the Company is now well positioned to achieve meaningful revenue growth and improvements in operating cash flow during fiscal year 2007.”
