NetCurrents Expands Technology and Product Development Departments in Anticipation of Launch of New Products


BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2001--

Major Focus On Launch Of New Channel Sales Product: PR Manager

NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCS) announced today the completion of an expansion and restructuring of its Technology and Product Development Departments under the direction of Michael J. O'Hara, Vice President Product Strategy.

Under the new plan, Carlos Gonzalez, CTO and Andrew Maguire, Director of Product Development, will report directly to O'Hara who will act in tandem with Rebecca Callahan, Vice President Sales, in the future development of new products and services that will build on the Company's core technology.

"Since joining NetCurrents in late October, I have been working with the entire product organization to implement many of the product development processes that have been proven successful for over 15 years at major corporations such as Hughes where I previously worked," said O'Hara. "As we approach the release of our major new channel product, PR Manager, and as channel sales of AgencyFacts begin this month, I wanted to give our channel partners and direct customers the confidence that NetCurrents has the infrastructure in place to develop, test, deliver and maintain quality products that operate on a 24x7 basis. Developing new products and delivering them on time is critical to the success of our business plan."

Rebecca Callahan, Vice President Sales added, "We have put a great deal of time, money and emphasis into our new channel sales product line and we believe we are now at the threshold of a major product launch. We have entered into agreements with numerous top-tier public relations agencies who are our channel sales partners and who have expressed significant interest over the impending release of PR Manager. Our field marketing intelligence, combined with feedback from our channel sales partners, continues to assist us in the creation of a critically needed, totally unique product for the cost-effective management of multiple public relations' accounts. We believe that this product will maintain NetCurrents as a leader in providing real-time analysis and intelligence gathered from the Internet."

In order to support the new products program, the size of the product organization has grown from 10 to 17 since late October. "This increase," says O'Hara, "not only well positions us to maintain and enhance our CyberPerceptions, AgencyFacts and PR Manager products, but it also supports our initiatives this quarter, with additional partners not yet announced, to enter into two new major product areas."

"Our increased product development capability has already helped us with the release last quarter of a new CyberPerceptions module," says Callahan. "The Message Query Module enables all of our direct customers to search historically through our large database of over 2 million captured messages for those that are specifically relevant to them."

This capability will also bear on future upgrades intended to expand the Company's previously announced CyberProfile service, which today is only used with selected direct customers.

Web Watchdog NetCurrents
Discovers Trouble at Home
By Aaron Elstein
WSJ.com

Like a professional tattletale, NetCurrents Inc.'s business is to notify other companies when they are the subject of rumors and unfounded allegations on the Internet. But now NetCurrents is fighting statements made in its virtual backyard.

The Burlingame, Calif., company is suing two former top executives who allegedly posted "false" and "defamatory" statements about NetCurrents on a Web message board.

The suit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that the company's former chief operating officer, Victor Holtorf, and a former sales executive, James Maloney, were among those posting defamatory messages on a Yahoo! message board. NetCurrents contends their statements were intended to "frighten and intimidate shareholders into selling their shares," depress the company's stock price and cause employees "to turn against present management so as to create an opportunity for Victor Holtorf to gain control of management."

NetCurrents seeks unspecified damages and an injunction to halt the defendants from posting further "false" messages. Mr. Holtorf, who lives in San Mateo County, Calif., according to court documents, and Mr. Maloney of San Francisco, couldn't be reached, and court officials said they didn't know who is representing them.

NetCurrents Chairman Irwin Meyer said his company filed the suit to protect its reputation as a pioneer in the fast-growing business of monitoring message-boards for corporate clients.

"We were asked, 'How can we be in the business of monitoring for others and not address our own problems?' " he said during a conference call with investors Tuesday to discuss third-quarter earnings. The company has "gathered sufficient evidence to support our claims" by using its "proprietary technology" and is prepared to fight the case "to the fullest," Mr. Meyer said.

NetCurrents competitors include several closely held companies, such as Internet Crimes Group, Princeton, N.J., eWatch, owned by the New York press-release distributor PR Newswire, CyberAlert of Stratford, Conn., Cyveillance of Arlington, Va., and MindfulEye of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Even the U.S. government is getting involved in Web surveillance. In August, the Securities and Exchange Commission awarded employee-owned Science Applications International Corp., San Diego, a $4.9 million contract to develop software to detect online fraud.

This long list of watchdogs underscores the growing popularity of online stock message boards. Much of what is said in these forums are opinions and speculation, but rumors sometimes emerge that affect stock prices and offend company managers.

"More and more companies are looking to outside firms to take the temperature of the boards," says Blake Bell, a New York lawyer who tracks defamation cases involving the Internet. "It is a growth business."

David Sobel, general counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, says companies are wise to monitor the Internet to correct inaccurate information. "If they're doing surveillance with the idea of retribution, however, that's a different matter," he says.

NetCurrents, whose clients include software-giant Oracle Corp. and Internet service provider EarthLink Inc., uses its proprietary software to measure "combined overall Internet sentiment" by scanning 63,000 Web sites, including message boards run by Yahoo, Raging Bull , Silicon Investor and The Motley Fool . In an interview earlier this month, Mr. Meyer says his company notifies clients when materially false information is published but ignores posts that are purely personal, such as those that insult top executives.

When Oracle's stock fell 29% earlier this month on false rumors that its chief financial officer was leaving and Chairman Lawrence Ellison had died, NetCurrents quickly notified Oracle, which promptly denied them and minimized the damage to its share price, Mr. Meyer said.

Oracle spokeswoman Jennifer Glass said she learned about the rumors from inquiring reporters before hearing from NetCurrents. Still, she says, the service is useful. "They send us a report every month telling us what people on the boards are saying," she says. "It's good to know."

NetCurrents remains unprofitable. On Tuesday, it posted a loss of $1.9 million, or seven cents a share, compared with a loss of $813,000, or seven cents a share, in the year-earlier period, when it had fewer shares outstanding. Revenue nearly quadrupled to $477,000.

At 4 p.m. Wednesday, its stock was unchanged at 97 cents on the Nasdaq Stock Market, far from its 52-week high of $11.94 in March.

Nonetheless, Mr. Meyer was optimistic about his company's prospects during Tuesday's conference call, saying there is ample demand for its services.

Meanwhile, his company has begun a legal battle against Mr. Holtorf, who was president of privately held Infolocity Inc., which merged last December to form NetCurrents.

Mr. Holtorf served as chief operating officer at NetCurrents until Sept. 1, according to court documents. At that time, he allegedly was posting messages online, saying that Mr. Meyer was "spending money illegally and frivolously ... [and] deceived the public and investors by keeping its true expenditures hidden." NetCurrents also alleges that Mr. Holtorf made false and disparaging statements about the company at an October meeting that he initiated with investors who own 1.7 million NetCurrents shares.

And the company says Mr. Holtorf has been "causing general confusion" among employees by showing up at its offices and telling some people that he was planning to oust management and gain control of NetCurrents.

NetCurrents Inc. Reports Third Quarter, Nine-Month Results
Third Quarter Internet Monitoring Revenues Up Strongly Over This Year's Second Quarter
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2000--NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, today announced operating results for its third quarter and first nine months ended Sept. 30, 2000.

According to NetCurrents Chief Executive Officer Irwin Meyer, the continued growth in client base and the expanded use of NetCurrents' flagship products by corporate clients led to record growth in Web monitoring revenues for the period.

``Third quarter monitoring revenues reflected a significant increase from monitoring revenues in the second quarter of this year,'' Meyer said, ``Our client base has increased every month and is continuing to trend up in the fourth quarter. We are currently targeting a client base of more than 100 by year end, with Internet monitoring revenues for the fourth quarter alone, expected to approach the level of total revenue for first nine months of the year.''

For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2000, total revenues were $477,103 with a loss from operations of $ 1,893,909 and a comprehensive loss applicable to common shareholders of $ 2,090,056, or a loss per share of $0.07 including a non-cash charge of $106,250 for quarterly dividends payable in Common Stock to holders of the company's Series A and cash of $2,213 payable holders of Series G Preferred Stock. This compares to total revenues of $120,251 and a net loss from operations of $776,057 and a comprehensive loss applicable to common shareholders of $919,551 or $0.67 loss per share for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999 of last year. In last year's third quarter, the company recorded total charges of $106,250 for stock dividends paid to holders of all classes of its Preferred Stock. Revenues for this year's first nine months were derived principally from the sale of the company's Internet intelligence products and services, while revenues in all prior periods were derived primarily from entertainment production activities, a business which the company no longer actively pursues.

Revenues for the first nine months of this year were $1,089,883 with a loss from operations of $5,891,431 and a comprehensive loss applicable to common shareholders of $6,601,735, or a loss per share of $0.22 compared to revenues of $2,655,904 and a net loss per share of $0.10 for the same period last year. This year's first nine-month results included non-cash charges of $318,750 for quarterly dividends payable in Common Stock to holders of the company's Series A Preferred Stock and $24,463 in cash dividends payable to holders of the company's Series G Preferred Stock. During the first nine months of last year, the company recorded total charges of $385,000 for cash and non-cash dividends paid to holders of the company's Series A and E Preferred Stock.

``I continue to be encouraged by the progress we are making in expanding our technology, introducing new products and developing new strategic sales partnerships,'' Meyer continued. ``The alliances we have with Thomson Financial/Carson (TFC) and Burrelle's Information Services will now begin to produce revenues. Our relationship Kroll Risk Consulting Services has already begun to generate revenues and has also resulted in excellent corporate exposure, both in the media and in the executive suites of many corporate accounts. We believe that each of these companies will leverage our internal efforts and help to accelerate our already rapid growth. The TFC rollout began October 3, with an initial 185 clients, with the balance of the first 500 to be online November 30.''

According to NetCurrents Chief Financial Officer Michael Iscove, the company's balance sheet as of Sept. 30, 2000 remained showed cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million, a current ratio of 6:1 and total shareholders equity of $6.6 million.

How Oracle Avoided Getting Emulexed

Editor: Luciano Siracusano (11/3/00)

One of the more interesting stories from Thursday's trading involved the washing and rinsing of Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL - Quotes, News, Boards).
Oracle's stock came under attack when rumors circulated that the company was heading for some operating headaches and that senior executives of the software maker may soon be resigning.

At 11:12 Eastern Time on Thursday morning, with the stock already down $1.56 on heavy volume, Briefing.com, a provider of market commentary, reported on its Web site that Oracle was "in play." Briefing.com, which is in touch with Wall Street trading desks in real time, reported that rumors were spreading about both the health of its applications software business and the possibility that Oracle's chief financial officer, Jeff Henley, would soon resign.

At 11:18 a.m., similar musings surfaced at theflyonthewall.com, another subscription-based source of trading "buzz" on the Internet.

Once the cable networks reported the unusual activity in Oracle's stock to television audiences, additional rumors quickly ricocheted across heavily trafficked message boards throughout cyberspace. Oracle's stock, which opened at $32.44, was in freefall by 11:30 a.m., falling nearly 16% to $27.25.

While Wall Street trading desks were vibrating, on the other side of the country a small team of Internet intelligence analysts at NetCurrents (NASDAQ: NTCS - Quotes, News, Boards), a small Los Angeles-based concern, were huddling, deciphering data supplied to them by revolutionary software that scours the Internet in real time for information about particular companies.

NetCurrents owns this proprietary software and uses it to see who is trash-talking its clients on message boards and Web sites around the world. It does this as a premium service for its customers. NetCurrents also has an exclusive alliance with Kroll Risk Consulting Services, a division of Kroll-O'Gara (NASDAQ: KROG - Quotes, News, Boards), a company that conducts investigations for multinational corporations.

Oracle is one of NetCurrents' clients.

Within two minutes after the second post appeared on theflyonthewall.com, NetCurrents alerted Oracle about the specific content of the rumor. Oracle then moved quickly to nip the bad information in the bud.

Messages were quickly relayed to the trading desks at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Goldman Sachs that the resignation rumors were not true.

Briefing.com, which had been in contact with the trading desks, soon thereafter reported that denial on its site at 12:09 p.m., with Oracle's stock trading at around $29.

At the same time, Oracle's press office was quelling rumors by speaking to reporters directly.

And at 12:36 p.m., a Reuters news service story appeared on the Internet, quoting company spokespersons saying that the rumors about executive resignations were categorically false.

The stock stabilized and recovered later in the day from the depressed morning levels.

Friday, analysts were defending the stock. Lehman Brothers said the sell-off provoked by the rumors had created a buying opportunity in Oracle's shares.

NetCurrents, which is due to report quarterly results next week, sees a large market opportunity for its technology, as companies come to grips with the reality that information published on the Internet can have deleterious consequences for their products, corporate reputations and stock prices.

NetCurrents is expanding its customer base and intends to target the legal community as well. Both class-action lawyers and legal firms defending clients from such suits have use for NetCurrents' solutions.

Although the company is still in its infancy, its business model shows promise, especially if management succeeds in transforming the company into a software concern that can generate 65% to 70% gross margins, fueled by recurring revenue streams from global partners.

According to NetCurrents, it was actually talking to Emulex (NASDAQ: EMLX - Quotes, News, Boards) shortly before the infamous "Emulex stock hoax" rocked that high-tech company. Those discussions alone, however, were not enough to save that high-flying stock from gyrating to the whims of an allegedly heavily leveraged student.

Going forward, companies may realize that NetCurrents offers the best protection against getting "Emulexed" in the future.

Bottom Line:

At a recent price of $1, NetCurrents shares are way off their 52-week high. Although we continue to believe that this equity is best suited for speculative accounts, we suggest investors take a fresh look at the company's progress after it reports in November.

The conclusion of the final deal is great news. This deal adds 150 new salesman to sell NTCS's services. The PR also talks about new products that will be exclusive to NTCS/Kroll. Kroll stated that they have already started selling NTCS's service to several of their clients. A few more of these strategic alliances and NTCS will be posed for take-off once again. - Hallsboy

NetCurrents Names Michael O'Hara as V.P. Product Strategy
Veteran Technology Executive to Oversee Business and Product Development, Technology
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2000--NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, Monday announced that proven technology executive Michael J. O'Hara has been named vice president product strategy, effective immediately.

O'Hara will oversee the company's product and business development efforts and all new applications of its proprietary, real time Internet intelligence technologies. He will report directly to chairman and CEO Irwin Meyer.

O'Hara, a long-time executive at El Segundo, Calif.-based Hughes Information Technology Systems and Hughes Space and Communications was most recently senior vice president business development of eSat Inc., working out of its offices in Universal City, Calif.

``Prior to joining us,'' Meyer said, ``Michael consulted with NetCurrents on several key projects including a number of market research and product focused studies on how best to apply our innovative technologies and expand our markets with new products and services.

``He is thoroughly familiar with our technology and is completely up to speed adding significant immediate value to the company. In addition, his commitment to the company's strategy and future has been clearly demonstrated by his purchase of NetCurrents' shares in the open market.''

``Michael's background in Internet technology, business development and communications is exactly the mix of expertise we need to take full advantage of the increasing demand for our services,'' Meyer said.

``He has proven skills in working with large and mid-size corporate clients and has shown the ability to develop and manage strategic relationships like those we currently enjoy with our partners around the U.S. and Canada.''

At eSat, O'Hara developed and negotiated contracts with domestic and international strategic partners, was the lead presenter for all investor and analyst presentations, worked with the CEO of eSat on company re-branding and investor communications and served as chief technology officer.

From 1996 to January 2000, O'Hara was chief systems engineer for Hughes Space and Communications. Among his duties was responsibility for the overall technical effort for a $4 billion polar orbiting environmental satellite system.

He also successfully managed a three-year $5.4 million risk-reduction study for a joint program office of the U.S. Air Force, NOAA and NASA and he worked on a number of critical international programs where he interfaced with and gave technology presentations to officials in Japan and Germany. He also made numerous technology presentations to Hughes customers and users in the United States and internationally.

From 1991 to 1996, O'Hara was with Hughes Information Technology Systems in El Segundo and in Landover, Md., where his last position was a senior systems engineer. While at Hughes he supported a number of new business initiatives to reuse a remote sensing ground data processing system (ECS) developed under an $800 million contract to NASA.

He managed proposal efforts for RFPs involving the reuse of ECS and was one of only four people in a 400-plus person organization authorized to give presentations on ECS to prospective customers. O'Hara worked with potential customers to tailor the functional, interface and performance parameters of ECS to their environment and applications.

His other responsibilities at Hughes included conducting technology assessments of commercial software, including high-level programming languages, Web-based user interfaces, client/server architectures, database management systems and terabyte robotic archive systems.

In 1993, O'Hara independently helped establish Southern California-based CyberScape Inc., an Internet start-up that focused on virtual reality multi-player entertainment. He co-authored the new company's business plan with two others and assisted in establishing software and technology alliances with established companies for the new venture.

He also developed a demonstration prototype of the entertainment concept.

O'Hara began his career at Hughes Aircraft Co. in El Segundo in 1984 as an engineer developing software programs to automate a far-field test antenna test range and to determine signal crosstalk within multi-conductor shielded cable harnesses.

In 1987 he was named study leader and directed and co-authored a comprehensive study that examined state-of-the-art technologies of interest to the Defense Communications Agency. He then rose steadily through the ranks as a communications systems engineer, lead communications systems engineer and software project manager.

O'Hara has a bachelor's degree in physics (magna cum laude) from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and master's degrees in physics and computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

NetCurrents and Bowdens Launch CyberWatch Internet Intelligence Service
NetCurrents and Canada's Largest Media Monitoring Company Form Strategic Alliance
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2000--NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, Wednesday announced that Toronto-based Bowdens Media Monitoring Ltd. has agreed to sell the CyberWatch Internet intelligence service, a new co-branded version of NetCurrents'AgencyFacts, to Bowdens' entire public and private client base throughout Canada.

Bowdens is the largest media monitoring company in Canada. AgencyFacts, which is currently being offered by a number of public relations and investor relations agencies in the United States, is the latest generation of NetCurrents' Internet intelligence products.

CyberWatch allows companies to easily monitor critical corporate information and perceptions on investor-focused Internet sites in real time, analyze that information and display results in a unique graphic format. The features incorporated in CyberWatch were developed after consulting with a range of public and private companies, as well as public and investor relations executives about their needs.

Bowdens President John Weinseis commented: ``CyberWatch will provide Bowdens' clients with the leading Internet intelligence tools needed to stay on top of on-line sentiment. As information on the Internet has become an important part of the investor and public relations landscape, it is critical for all companies to institute a comprehensive monitoring and collection program.

``CyberWatch will provide just that -- in a real-time, easy-to-use format.''

CyberWatch uses NetCurrents' proprietary real-time technology to review a wide variety of information disseminated on the Internet based on parameters defined by the client. It displays an analysis of the attitudes and perceptions concerning a company graphically on clients' desktops in six continuously updated bar charts.

CyberWatch also includes real-time e-mail alerts based on client-specified alert criteria and it offers the ability to ``drill down'' through its Online Topics of Discussion chart for a list of the last 10 messages retrieved, sorted by online sentiment.

NetCurrents' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Irwin Meyer said, ``CyberWatch is a powerful tool. It will significantly enhance the services Bowdens can offer its clients. CyberWatch allows companies to monitor corporate sentiment on the Internet, helps them identify, and appropriately respond to, misinformation and aids them in evaluating corporate intelligence.

``In short, it helps management maximize the effectiveness of information derived from the Internet.''

Searching For the Killer App of the Coming Wireless World
By John Rubino
Special to TheStreet.com
10/6/00 11:09 AM ET




We can argue about the timing, but not the result: Someday soon the world will be mostly wireless. One study, for instance, has the number of Internet-capable cell phones exceeding the number of PCs by 2003. Another puts unit sales of cell phone/personal digit assistant hybrids at better than 300 million a year by 2005.

That's good news for the handset makers, but because it's common knowledge you have to figure that it's already priced into their stocks.

The real action is in applications, i.e., the wireless services that road warriors will pay to use. Right now, everyone with Web content is adapting it to fit those tiny handheld device screens (for more on this, see my Sept. 8 column ). But it's not yet clear which app will end up as standard equipment on every device and turn its makers into instant giants. Some, like stock trading, are obvious winners, though it's hard to imagine any one broker dominating. Location tech, which tells you (and nearby merchants) where you are, is another good bet. (A column on those stocks is in the works.)

Customized intelligence gathering also will be hot. Check out NetCurrents (NTCS:Nasdaq - news), for example, which uses an expert system to scan the Web for information about a given company and cooks the result down to a graphic representation of investor sentiment. Click on any part of the graph, and you pull up the most recent posts on the major message boards.

Why is this valuable? Ask the people running Emulex (EMLX:Nasdaq - news). A few weeks back, a fake highly negative press release was posted on one of its message boards, panicking investors and shaving $2.5 billion from the company's market cap in a matter of hours. The post happened before the stock markets opened at 9:30 a.m. EDT, and Emulex didn't respond until 10:20 a.m.

NetCurrents' service, says CEO Irwin Meyer, would have alerted Emulex managers to the post almost immediately, allowing them to halt trading in their stock and to correct the record, stopping the panic before it had a chance to snowball.

Within two weeks, promises Meyer, his service will go wireless: "If you're on a plane, we'll be able to notify you immediately if something is amiss with your stock."

You have to think that this or something like it will soon be standard equipment on every control-freak manager's PalmPilot. But as Apple Computer (AAPL:Nasdaq - news) investors just discovered, a great product doesn't necessarily equal a great stock. Lately the market's perception of NetCurrents has been way negative, as its stock has fallen by more than 90% in six months, to just a little over a buck a share.

But in this case, reality is better than the perception, says Meyer. "Our operating trends are all positive. ... We have virtually no liabilities and enough working capital to last us 10 months." Besides, he adds, "We're always being offered money."

Another thing most of us will want on our handhelds is call management software, which InfoInterActive (IIAA:Nasdaq - news) is pioneering. This is one of my few remaining long positions, so keep that potential conflict in mind as you read on.

For a few bucks a month, InfoInterActive notifies you when a call comes in over the line you're using to access the Internet, allowing you to answer, ignore or send it to one of several voice mailboxes.

The service has been licensed by some big-name telcos, including Verizon (VZ:NYSE - news) and Sprint Canada, which led to some optimistic growth forecasts for 2000. These haven't panned out, and the stock has settled into a narrow trading range on extremely low volume.

But there are reasons to expect better things in 2001. First, the Verizon deal, which will give InfoInterActive access to around 5 million of the Baby Bell's customers, hasn't kicked in yet. When it does, in the first quarter of next year, it should produce a nice jump in subscribers.

Second, and potentially more important, is a recent linkup with Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news), which bought a piece of the company and chose it to supply the call management capabilities for the chip giant's new line of information appliances. These will start shipping in the first quarter, with Intel predicting annual unit sales in the high six figures.

And a few days ago InfoInterActive released what it says is the first wireless call management application. Though this early version has a lot of limitations, it does let someone trading stocks on a Web-enabled phone know when a call comes in and then handles it for them.

Now for the final piece of this puzzle: According to a source at Intel, one of the reasons it bought into InfoInterActive was that the latter holds what looks to be defensible patents on Internet call management.

InfoInterActive hasn't chosen to defend the patents from the other companies offering such services because, says CEO Bill McMullen, "As a small company in a space typically dominated by the Nortels (NT:NYSE - news) and Lucents (LU:NYSE - news), we didn't think it would be wise to start by suing everyone. ... That's not to say that we won't ever start fights over these things."

Cool stories, these. But not sure things by any means. Both of these companies are tiny, untested and on the bleeding edge of businesses that barely exist at the moment. So be careful here. Don't bet big on either until they're clearly gaining traction.

NetCurrents Comments On Third Quarter Sales Increase, Customer Base Expansion
Internet Monitoring Sales Increase By Approximately 74% Over Previous Quarter; Customer Base Expands 122%
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2000-- NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), ``The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency,'' today announced that sales of its Premier Internet monitoring services for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000, increased approximately 74 percent from sales of $233,878 for those same services in the second quarter of this year.

According to the announcement by NetCurrents Chairman and CEO Irwin Meyer, the company's customer base during the third quarter, when compared to the second quarter of this year, increased 122 percent to 71 customers. This includes channel partners who resell Agency Facts and other NetCurrents products and services to their clients, representing thousands of potential new NetCurrents clients.

``I am especially encouraged that we continue to show significant quarter-to-quarter increases in both Premier Internet monitoring sales and in the size of our client base with only our in-house sales force actively marketing the products,'' said NetCurrents Chief Financial Officer Michael Iscove. ``We believe the results of the first nine months of operation demonstrate the continuing and growing need for our services. We look forward to continued growth as sales from our strategic alliance and channel partners begin to have a positive impact on revenues in the coming months.

``As of September 30, the Company's balance sheet showed approximately $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank or long-term debt,'' Iscove continued. ``At our current levels of sales and spending and without raising any additional funds, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to adequately fund our operations until mid-summer 2001. Of course, as our sales continue to increase, the Company will move closer to generating positive cash flow.''

Meyer said, ``For the benefit of those who may have been receiving mixed, and sometimes inaccurate, messages on the Internet about the prospects of the Company, I would like to set the record straight. The level of sales generated by our in-house sales force continues to be very promising. The launches of our channel sales partnerships, while taking longer than originally expected, are still moving forward in respect to product readiness, training and contractual details. We fully expect that the previously announced relationships with Thomson Financial Carson (formerly Thomson Financial Investor Relations), Kroll Risk Consulting Services and Burrelle's Information Services will all be generating sales by the end of the fourth quarter, with the first of these to be launched this month.''

As the Company continues to execute its business plan, aspects of that plan have evolved as new opportunities have presented themselves. ``We have been careful to communicate these new opportunities only as they have become reality and will continue to do so in the future,'' Meyer added. ``With the addition of new clients each month and the continued growth in revenues, we gain greater insight into how our products and services can be applied to meet the needs of the market. We are optimistic about the near- and long-term prospects of NetCurrents as our products and services continue to receive validation from our new and ongoing clients and our strategic alliance partners.''

``It is also important to note,'' he added, ``that due to the sensitive nature of the services we provide, many of our clients insist on remaining anonymous. Since we must honor the confidentiality requests of our clients, we are often unable to publicly disclose their names.''

Big News Today!!!!!!
It was posted on Yahoo that Victor Holtorf resigned several weeks ago. I called Matt Clawson at Allen&Caron to confirm. It is true. Victor resigned 6 weeks ago. Matt said NTCS will modify their website tomorrow to reflect changes. IMO, waiting 6 weeks to change the information is bad business. I guess the wanted to wait as long as possible. Matt still thinks 3rd quarter results will be good. I don't like how Irwin handled the Victor resignation, but I am willing to wait for 3rd quarter results. - Mike

See my response at: Stock Clubs / Long-Term / The Penny King's Free and Clear M&A Fund (FCFMAF) and my report at iexchange.com. Additionally, the 12/31/00 date is being coordinated with simultaneous offers on more than 600 other companies, which is a massive amount of work, and takes time to implement. Our offers are usually at a valuation of ten times book value and we think $2.60 per share, consolidated with the other companies we plan to acquire is a good price.

PennyKing, what makes you interested in NTCS?
Why wait until 12/31/00 to tender the offer? Shouldn't you make the offer based on the current depressed share price? I am very long on NTCS and am curious to your interest in the company. TIA, - Hallsboy

NetCurrents Launches First-Ever Real-Time Internet Sentiment Monitoring Analysis of Nasdaq-100
No-Charge Access for Individuals, Investment Professionals, Media; 24/7 Scanning of More Than 60,000 Relevant Internet Sites
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2000-- NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), ``The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency,'' today announced that it has launched a unique free service on its corporate Web site -- www.netcurrents.com -- for individuals, investment community professionals and the media that monitors in real time positive, negative or neutral Internet sentiment shared by online participants about individual companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index.

Based on the company's patent-pending proprietary technology enabling real-time scanning of more than 63,000 Internet sites, the first-ever service will continuously monitor, display and quantify in a graphic format the combined overall Internet sentiment for the select group of 100 Nasdaq-traded companies that make up the Index.

According to NetCurrents Chairman and CEO Irwin Meyer, ``Internet attitudes and perceptions regarding the Nasdaq-100 Index as a whole are presented in an easy-to-read graphical display. The site also displays graphically those Index companies that are perceived most and least favorably. As an added analytical tool, the Index site displays the difference, within three percent, in the volume of positive and/or negative messages received on a particular company today compared with yesterday.''

The NetCurrents Nasdaq-100 monitoring service will also supply such specific data as the Nasdaq-100 company that is most discussed on the Internet at any given moment and the message boards generating the most positive and negative comments, respectively. And with a simple click, a user can call up by ticker symbol or name any one of the Nasdaq-100 companies for its real-time sentiment report

``A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Investors Corporation,'' Meyer continued, ``showed that 95 percent of individual investors polled rated the Internet as their most important source of information. We believe that investors, investment community professionals and market watchers can use real-time Internet sentiment information about the Nasdaq-100 as part of an informed investment decision or to help analyze, moment by moment, conditions and trends in the stock market as a whole.''

The monitoring of the Nasdaq-100 for Internet perceptions and attitudes uses NetCurrents' proprietary, real-time Internet search technology, F.I.R.S.T. (Fast Internet Real-Time Search Technology) and the WebMind Artificial Intelligence engine to dynamically monitor and analyze a targeted Internet universe. It gathers and analyzes the information in real time based on a defined set of parameters, displaying graphically an analysis of attitudes and perceptions presented continuously in updated bar charts.

This product is the first of its kind to combine Internet search technology with artificial intelligence to provide real-time automated sentiment analysis of Internet communications.

NetCurrents and Datalink.net to Create Wireless Solution for Internet Monitoring
BURLINGAME & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2000-- NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, and Datalink.net (Nasdaq:XLNK - news), a leading wireless application service provider, today announced an agreement to jointly develop a wireless solution enabling users of NetCurrents' premium real-time Internet monitoring and analysis services to remotely receive real-time ``alert'' messages and updates to AgencyFacts graphic Internet sentiment displays 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The service is expected to be operational within the next 30 days and will be included in NetCurrents' premium services at no additional charge to its clients. NetCurrents will be providing at no charge Palm VIIs to all of its current and future premium clients so they can access the information being provided by this new service.

The new service will allow NetCurrents' clients to receive in real-time urgent ``alert'' messages that may require immediate action, as well as up-to-the-minute AgencyFacts graphs providing them with overall online message board sentiment.

This new service will further enhance our capabilities to deliver critical Internet generated information to our clients, wherever they are, through their handheld devices.''

NetCurrents Inc. Reports Second Quarter, Six-Month Results
Second Quarter Revenues Up 29% Over This Year's First Quarter
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2000--NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, today announced operating results for its second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2000. The signing of significant strategic alliances and the continued use of NetCurrents' flagship products by an increasing number of major corporate clients highlighted a quarter in which the Company also expanded its sales force and introduced its new, leveraged channel distribution strategy.

Revenues for this year's first six months were derived principally from the sale of the Company's Internet intelligence products and services, while revenues in all prior periods were derived primarily from entertainment production activities, a business which the Company no longer actively pursues.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, revenues were $345,363 with a net loss of $1.9 million, or a loss per share of $0.06 including a non-cash charge of $106,250 for quarterly dividends payable in Common Stock to holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. This compares to revenues of $2.5 million and a net loss of $944,035 or $0.10 loss per share for the second quarter of last year. In last year's second quarter, the Company recorded total charges of $172,500 for cash and stock dividends paid to holders of all classes of its Preferred Stock.

``Second quarter revenues reflected a 29 percent increase from revenues of $267,417 in the first quarter of this year,'' Meyer said, ``and, with July and August continuing to show sales increases over previous months, we are seeing a steady increase in monthly sales. This is occurring even though our strategic alliance partners will not start to launch our services for several weeks and the revenue impact of those launches will not be reflected until the latter part of this year.''

Revenues for the first six months of this year were $612,780 with a net loss of $4.1 million, or a loss per share of $0.13 compared to revenues of $2.5 million and a net loss per share of $0.05 for the same period last year. This year's first six-month results included non-cash charges of $212,500 for quarterly dividends payable in Common Stock to holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and $22,500 in cash dividends payable to holders of the Company's Series G Preferred Stock. During the first six months of last year, the Company recorded total charges of $278,750 for cash and non-cash dividends paid to holders of all classes of its Preferred Stock.

``I am very encouraged by the progress we are making this year in expanding our technology, introducing new products and services and building our national sales force,'' Meyer continued. ``The exclusive strategic alliances we have entered into this year with Thomson Investor Relations and Burrelle's Information Services, and the Letter of Intent we have executed with Kroll Risk Consulting Services, has potentially placed our products and services in the hands of more than 300 sales professionals, serving more than 30,000 companies worldwide in three new and important markets. Each of these companies is a leader in its respective field, and our alliances with them have resulted in the development of new market-specific service offerings and have established NetCurrents as a leader in the real-time Internet monitoring and intelligence sector.

``These alliances,'' Meyer added, ``will leverage our direct sales efforts and will target specific vertical industry sectors with products and services developed and priced to meet the specific needs of each. While these new products and services will include a basic service offering to these markets, we feel confident that once the importance of the information gathered by our technology is recognized by the end user in developing multiple corporate strategies, an increased demand for our higher end products and services will result.''

Meyer continued, ``The introduction this past week of our AgencyFacts product, designed to service our alliance partners' clients, is the first fully automated, real-time Internet monitoring and analysis tool available that will meet the needs of corporations as well as the brokerage community. AgencyFacts users will have the ability to instantaneously determine what the online community is saying about their company, while simultaneously evaluating online sentiment. There is no other product available that can provide this information as quickly and cost effectively.''

According to NetCurrents Chief Financial Officer Michael Iscove, the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 remained strong with cash and cash equivalents of $7 million, a current ratio of 7:1 and total shareholders' equity of $8.4 million.

NetCurrents Announces Launch of Next Generation of AgencyFacts Real Time Internet Intelligence System

Customized Solution for Public and Investor Relations Industries

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2000--NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, announced today the launch of AgencyFacts(TM) v1.5, the next generation of the Company's Internet Intelligence service for use by public and investor relations agencies worldwide. AgencyFacts makes it possible for agencies to easily and comprehensively monitor and analyze in real time information on the Internet related to their clients and to readily report consumer/investor attitudes and perceptions. AgencyFacts v1.5 is immediately available to public and investor relations agencies for resale to their clients, and has a suggested retail price of $575.00 per user. For an online demonstration of AgencyFacts, visit www.netcurrents.com.

According to NetCurrents Chief Operating Officer Victor Holtorf, ``AgencyFacts gives public and investor relations agencies a powerful tool to significantly enhance the breadth and value of the services they provide their clients. In addition to monitoring corporate and product sentiment, AgencyFacts can be used to help agencies and their clients evaluate corporate and competitive intelligence, effectively manage the impact of the Internet on their companies and aid in identifying and appropriately responding to misinformation.''

AgencyFacts uses NetCurrents proprietary, real-time Internet search technology, F.I.R.S.T (Fast Internet Real-Time Search Technology) and an Artificial Intelligence engine to dynamically monitor and analyze a targeted Internet universe specified by the user. It gathers and analyzes the information in real time based on user-defined parameters, displaying graphically on the user's desktop an analysis of attitudes and perceptions presented in six continuously updated bar charts. AgencyFacts' features also include real-time e-mail alerts based on client-specified alert criteria and the ability to ``drill down'' through its Online Topics of Discussion chart for a list of the last ten messages retrieved, sorted by online sentiment.

``We worked with a number of public relations and investor relations agencies in developing AgencyFacts and we, along with those who worked with us, are convinced that it is the right product for the right market at the right time,'' commented NetCurrents Vice President of Sales Rebecca Callahan. ``It is the only solution available that monitors and analyzes Internet sentiment in real time with dynamic reporting of results in an effective, easy to use format.

``We have seen a great deal of interest in AgencyFacts from a large number of public and investor relations agencies throughout the country and the list is growing,'' Callahan added. ``In addition to positioning us in the agency market, AgencyFacts and the co-branded products derived from it are also the cornerstones of our expanded channel sales strategy. By establishing alliances with market leaders we are able to leverage the marketing and sales resources of our distribution partners and extend our reach into a broad range of growing markets.''

A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Investors Corporation, showed that 95% of individual investors polled rated the Internet as their most important source of information. In addition, with more than 3,800 new web sites added to the Internet each day and more than 250,000 new messages posted to message boards daily, finding the information necessary to evaluate the Internet's impact on a company is an overwhelming task. To be done effectively, it is a task that must be done by a powerful and sophisticated, real-time tool such as AgencyFacts.

I tend to agree with Hallsboy on the idea of a buyout.

With no news and huge buying like this, somebody is loading the boat big time.

Either an analyst is about to pick up the stock and follow it (my idea) or Hallsboy is right and a buyout is in the picture very soon.

Tell the "bull" Fatty and Halls said so LOL

FM

[PappaJohn]

Impressive what a little volume can do.

Nasdaq down 121 and NTCS up over 28%. Any ideas why the sudden interest. Volume 3 1/2 times average.

"LongIsland" on the "Bull" had an eloquent observation about NetCurrents......"Show me your friends and I'll tell you about you." Sheer profundity. Further, "NetCurrents new buddies Computer Associates, Oracle, Burrells and Thomson Financial tell me it's just a matter of time before we see the results of these new alliances show up in the revenues."

Whatever caused the spike up, I like it.

[ihub_tutorial]

+3/4 in NTCS today!!!

The Internet's Top Buzz Cops

full article at: http://www.ecompany.com/articles/mag/print/1,1643,6760,00.html


Bad press, scurrilous rumors, and outright lies have always been a fact of life for corporate-image watchers, but the Internet makes it possible to distribute that grief more quickly and widely than ever before. From the standpoint of any company concerned about its online reputation, the Web is a monitoring nightmare.


"If someone is writing about your company online, you need to know right away," says Larry L. Smith, president of the Institute for Crisis Management, a firm based in Louisville, Ky. "It's extremely important because the Internet is so fast and reaches so many people. The quicker you find out, the quicker you can fix it."


With more than 800 clients, eWatch, the St. Paul, Minn., division of press-release service PR Newswire, is the largest provider of basic monitoring services. Much like a news-clipping service, eWatch searches more than 2,500 Internet publications for a client's name and then e-mails the findings to the company. (Clients can also access these reports on the Web.) In addition, eWatch offers monitoring services that scour mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, competitors' sites, and "hate" sites (as in www.yourcompanysucks.com).


For companies that want even more dirt--along with advice on what to do about it--NetCurrents, in Burlingame, Calif., offers up-to-the-minute reporting and strategic help. Its basic product, called InvestorFacts, allows each client to access a secure site that, in real time, culls message-board postings, articles, and newsgroup commentary relevant to the company. NetCurrents's custom services include providing analysts to hand-check the relevance of mentions, alert clients to important ones, and help them decide whether and how to respond.


But all of this monitoring doesn't come cheap. NetCurrents's InvestorFacts service sells for $3,000 per month, and specialized services can cost as much as $15,000 a month. eWatch charges from $3,600 annually (for basic service and 10 or fewer users) to $137,700 (for all services and up to 100 users). That may seem pricey, but it can be a bargain compared with the perils of finding out too late that a toxic story -- true or otherwise -- has poisoned your company.

[ihub_tutorial]

Very nice move today! +25% + nice increase in volume.

Possibly some more good SOLID news on the horizon..Still follow this one, Mike?

FM

[ihub_tutorial]

I'm betting on this line...

I'm figuring that patience will be rewarded. Got the service, got the alliances, growing the sales force, getting the clients, growing the revenue; how can NTCS miss?

I learned that lesson with ISLD.

FM

[PappaJohn]

Matt, we need reported net income

I think NTCS may not be showing up yet on some radar screens due to negative P/E and negative EPS. Screening software doesn't do real well on future earnings expectations. With the recent market correction and the associated plethora of margin calls, IMHO, investors are apt to be a bit skeptical of a new company with new technology in an unproven market niche. Perhaps a little leftover depression from the recent general market downturn. As soon as some great revenue growth numbers are released, we should see some renewed demand and volume. As Jerry McGuire said, "show me the money!"

Too, judging by some "other boards" postings, the bashers and shorters are quite numerous...almost numbering as many as the astute investors Potential investors reading the diatribe could be scared off.

I'm figuring that patience will be rewarded. Got the service, got the alliances, growing the sales force, getting the clients, growing the revenue; how can NTCS miss?

All conjecture, IMHO, of course.

[ihub_tutorial]

PJ,

What do you think it's going to take to get this stock really moving?

I can't quite but my finger on it.

Reminds me of our ISLD play. They had tons of contracts and never ever moved...actually went down...I sold and then the stock exploded to 150+ ...

Wonder if that will happen here..just w/o me selling!
