Mycom Group Refinances, Increasing Working Capital
CINCINNATI, Apr 1, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mycom Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MYCO), a
technology products, managed services, and software development company
headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, announced the signing of an agreement, on
March 31, 2004, with First Financial Bank of Ohio which provides a more
favorable credit facility. The new banking facility, totaling $1,150,000, will
improve Mycom's working capital, and reduce the interest rates paid by Mycom on
both short term and long term financing. Detailed information concerning the new
credit facility, which includes a revolving loan, long term note and credit
cards, is provided in the 10K, filed March 30, 2004.
Mycom's President and Chief Operating Officer, Jim Bobbitt stated, "The new
credit facility with First Financial will enable us to reduce interest rates and
banking costs. It will also provide working capital to advertise and market our
new product, mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II. We introduced the new spam and virus
filter January 29th, and our sales organization and resellers are doing a great
job, but we want to reach more IT managers, faster. We are starting a media and
public relations campaign in April, and the infusion of working capital will
allow us to initiate a stronger advertising program with greater reach and
frequency."
mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II scans both inbound and outbound email checking for
viruses, harassing or inappropriate (pornographic) content, pictures, and
attachments while blocking up to 95% of unwanted spam.
The new, more powerful, spam and virus filtering service, built by Mycom,
operates on a highly secure Linux cluster. New and enhanced features include 60%
faster processing time, the ability to create users and groups for each domain,
greater granularity in spam filtering, an improved user interface, a summary
notification option, an enhanced queue monitor and a bypass list for every
setting.
It controls attachments, and oversized message delivery and provides
unauthorized encryption detection. Address list and bypass list management is
available and policy can be controlled by an administrator.
mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II employs a tiered approach to help combat the
ever-changing and rapidly growing problem of spam. The approach consists of four
tiers, working in concert and providing granular tailoring of the system to a
client's specific needs.
