through operating cash flows. Parent has no debt financing and is organized around two business segments: the IMG and the Asset Management Group (“AMG”).

IMG’s customers are varied and include financial services companies, telecoms, business process service providers, as well as technology and health care providers.
AMG provides a portfolio of software and services solutions to a number of verticals such as cable operators, network telecommunication providers, media, transit, defense and public safety companies. Its products include network infrastructure, Operations Support Systems (“OSS”), Business Support Systems (“BSS”), and revenue generation solutions such as video and Cloud TV solutions.

Parent continues to focus on building a consistently profitable enterprise software company with a diversified product suite and global market presence. Parent remains focused on generating positive operating cash flows and having a strong balance sheet. Deploying capital on acquisitions and replacing it through operating cash flows is pivotal to our acquisition strategy and allows Parent to pursue further acquisitions.
Parent emphasizes the importance of recurring revenue streams to increase shareholder value and the predictability of its operating results. While Parent continues to develop and enhance its existing product portfolio to grow organically, including expanding our hosted solution offerings, it is also important to augment and expedite this strategy with new and complementary technology, products and services obtained through acquisition. This dual-faceted approach will enable us to provide a broader spectrum of products and services to our customer base more quickly than through organic means alone.
