NMKT -- These financial numbers were MUCH better than I think anyone expected. Which brings me to an encouraging point. Initially, NMKT did so many PR's that investors were constantly fed with what was going on--and few surprises. That strategy wore off, IMO. Now, it looks like the company is shifting to allowing surprises. If this is true, I would not be surprised (PUN intended) to see some surprising press out from them next week.
Like someone mentioned earlier, there has been no mention of Sensitron. Which I thought meant that it would not happen. Now, I think it will be happening and they are intentionally letting it be a surprise.
New Board for NMKT
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=2732
Haven't been there. Sorry.
cant enter to the RB board after the name change.
any ideas ?
thanks
I too am in for the long haul as well.
As far as the stock price goes I cannot even hazzard a guess as to what might happen.
As far as the company goes I am pleased with IPVO and
Mr. Verges. They should be announcing the aquisition of logicorp later this month.
Mr. Verges has been pretty proactive in regards to the stock but unfortunately it has had no effect. IPVO has gone after the bashers on the raging bull board and been in contact with the Berlin stock exchange to get their shares delisted.
The theory is that once the ticker and CUSIP are changed to New Market Technology that it will help put a stop to any illegal shorting that may be going on.
On the first dip below $0.40 I will buy more and then continue to add on dips. I plan on holding for the long term unless things take a turn for the worse financially for IPVO.
The whole markets have been drifting down. Due to the potential for terrorist attacks at the Olympics, political conventions, and around election time, some financial analysts think a lot of people are going into cash and staying on the sidelines until after the elections.
It would be my guess that IPVO will trade flat and drift down until the new year unless they announce some spectacular news.
Like I said, I am in it for the long haul unless things really go sour. I think a lot of traders got disillusioned and moved on recently. Things have not been the same in regards to the stock price ever since the WFRI aquisition fell through.
What is this supposed to mean to us? The stock price will start going up again? I'm not going to hold my breath. I'd bet my left ear and my best pair of shoes Mr. Verges will announce something similar to what he did last quarter. "We spent all of our money buying companies, sorry." "But, we are still on track to meet our goal of $50M revenue run rate". Does any one know when we can expect IPVO's stock price to bottom out? October? Then maybe return to $1 by December?
NewMarket Technology Inc. Announces Asia Pacific Summit Meeting July 12th in Dallas with Senior Management from Singapore Subsidiary and Dr. Larry Wu from Beijing
MONDAY, JULY 12, 2004 10:37 AM
- BusinessWire
DALLAS, Jul 12, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NewMarket Technology Inc. (IPVO) today announced an Asia Pacific Summit Meeting in Dallas with Senior Management from their Singapore Subsidiary and their Chinese Business Development Office. Dr. Larry Wu from NewMarket's Beijing office will chair the meeting.
Dr. Wu joined NewMarket in February of this year after serving in the Chinese State Council Research Office as a Senior Advisor to the Premiere of China, Mr. WEN Jiabao. Prior to his position at the State Council, Dr. Wu worked at the Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. as a Secretary for Science and Technology. Dr. Wu is also a published author in his field of expertise with three books and numerous articles in U.S. publications such as Business Week and Red Herring.
"The Asia Pacific region will play a significant role in the future of the emerging information technology industry for two reasons," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket. "First, Asia Pacific is more apt to purchase emerging technologies than the Western markets because Asia Pacific has less existing investment in these rapidly changing technology sectors. Second, the Asia Pacific Region, China in particular, has prepared itself to provide a competitive information technology labor force. The technology skills are there and organized to deliver to Western Software and System Standards. A long-term investment in English language skills has resulted in China having more English speakers than the United States. We believe differences in business cultures between the West and China is the only issue slowing a surge in Information Technology trade. Our Singapore subsidiary, Infotel, is the key to our strategy to bridge the business culture differences. We have already signed substantial business opportunities in China through our Singapore office. This Asia Pacific Summit will center on coordinating our efforts in China and Singapore and introducing our Asia Pacific Senior Management to business leads in North America."
Following the Summit Meeting in Dallas, Mr. Verges will travel with the NewMarket Asia Pacific Senior Management Group to Singapore and China on a 10 day follow up to the meeting to meet with potential clients and to continue to develop the business relationships necessary to compete successfully in Asia.

IPVoice Communications Inc. Name Change to NewMarket Technology Inc. Accepted by the Secretary of State of Nevada
FRIDAY, JULY 09, 2004 11:43 AM
- BusinessWire
DALLAS, Jul 9, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NewMarket Technology Inc. (IPVO) today announced receiving notification from the Secretary of State of Nevada that the name change to NewMarket Technology Inc. has been accepted. The Company will proceed immediately with submitting the approved name change to NASDAQ to affect a ticker symbol and CUSIP number change on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The corporate name change is part of an overall communication plan to convey the Company's expanding business in various market sectors. NewMarket Technology Inc. sells emerging communication technology solutions and services. NewMarket's initial technology offering is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution. Over the last six months the Company has added emerging communication technology offerings specifically for the healthcare and homeland security industries.
The Company generates additional revenue and exercises an economy of scale strategy by including a comprehensive emerging technology service and support offering as a critical component of the overall business plan. The Company has already won lucrative service contracts to support the emerging technology plans of high tech companies in addition to providing a cost effective support for their own emerging communication solutions.
"The name change reflects the Company's notable advances toward the 2004 business plan objectives of rapidly building its revenue base along with a focus on profitability," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket. "We are already approaching the annualized revenue run rate previously announced as the year end objective. Recent organic sales and the profitability of pending acquisitions are accelerating the Company's profitability schedule. We also expect the ticker symbol and CUSIP change to interfere with suspected short stock sellers that are not complying with regulatory timeframe requirements to purchase stock to fill short positions. We encourage shareholders to contact their brokers and request a confirmation that IPVoice certificates have been replaced with NewMarket certificates once the ticker symbol change has been affected with the OTCBB. Please do not hesitate to contact the Company for more information."

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2004-- NewMarket Technology Inc., (OTCBB:IPVO - News) formerly IPVoice Communications Inc., today unveiled plans to acquire Logicorp Data Systems Ltd and Logicorp Services Ltd. Logicorp Data and Logicorp Services operate cooperatively under the same management to provide clients comprehensive information technology integration and support services. NewMarket and Logicorp have been in discussions since early this year. The two organizations entered an initial Letter of Intent (LOI) agreement in May 2004. An updated LOI was executed yesterday following a mutual due diligence engagement. NewMarket will acquire seventy percent (70%) of the stock of both Logicorp Data and Logicorp Services. The combined stock of Logicorp Data and Logicorp Services has been priced at $3 million. NewMarket will exchange $3 million of NewMarket restricted common stock at a price per share above the market traded price at closing.

Last year, we launched our Voice over IP (VoIP) business and established our first foreign technology support service and sales center. First quarter of this year, we opened two additional communication markets through the acquisition of a homeland security technology company and a medical technology company. Second quarter of this year, we established our second foreign technology support service and sales center through the acquisition of a Venezuelan company, RKM IT Services. The Logicorp acquisition is being coordinated with a number of additional activities that together will establish NewMarket as a notable emerging technology marketing and service company."

NewMarket Technology Inc. Addresses Shareholder Concern Regarding Suspicious Stock Trading Activity and Share Price
Wednesday June 23, 11:26 am ET
Company 2004 Objectives Still on Track for $50 Million in Annualized Revenue in 2004 and $20 Million in Booked Revenue; Operational Profitability by Year End
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 23, 2004-- NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:IPVO - News) today released a letter to shareholders to address shareholder concern regarding the recent stock trading activity and share price of the company's stock. The letter is included in this press release in its entirety.
ADVERTISEMENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders -
I share everyone's disappointment in the recent IPVoice share price decline. The Company has received a large number of emails and calls regarding this situation and it has been a challenge to return all the calls in a timely manner. Therefore, this communication is intended to address and alleviate the concerns we have received in email and over the phone.
The recent share price decline cannot be simply tied to any recent change in the Company's day to day operations. The Company is proceeding operationally according to the previously announced 2004 business plan. We do not anticipate stepping away from the 2004 objectives of reaching $50 million in annualized revenue by the end of this year nor realizing a total of $20 million in booked revenue for the year. We still plan to achieve operational profitability by year-end. I can think of no operational event that could account for the recent decline in share price. In fact, I believe the Company is operationally in better shape today than when the share price reached a high of $1.35 two months ago.
Like all of you, I can only speculate as to any possible external cause for the recent share price decline. There are some suspicious situations that we are investigating. In addition to addressing specific suspicions, we are also taking some general precautionary measures to counter other possible issues frequently faced by OTCBB listed companies. Our primary strategy to address the current share price decline is to stay on course and operationally grow the Company according to plan and build on the fundamentals of revenue growth and profitability. We are confident that our ongoing operational performance will in time overcome any nefarious external force otherwise negatively impacting the price per share.
Specific Suspicions
As previously announced, IPVoice has been listed on the Berlin Exchange without notice, let alone our permission. Many allegations have recently been discussed in the press regarding a possible arbitrage on the US markets leveraging stock that might not exist on the Berlin Exchange. Officials at the Berlin Exchange have acknowledged this is a possibility. Definitive evidence verifying that such an arbitrage is in fact being practiced has not yet been made public, if it exists at all. Nevertheless, we have engaged an attorney in Germany and have demanded to be de-listed. We are in communication with the appropriate parties in Germany, but as of yet our demand has not been satisfied. We are diligently continuing in our efforts to be de-listed.
While there is a belief by some in the stock trading community that conversations that take place over online bulletin boards do not really impact share price, I think I would be remiss if I did not address the vehement nature of recent allegations against IPVoice management on Terra Lycos' Raging Bull. It is suspicious that a number of individuals recently began making unfounded allegations around the same time the price per share began to decline. Many of the allegations have violated the rules set forth by Raging Bull and even created legal implications. Accordingly, the offending individuals and their posts have been deleted only to have the individual brazenly return under a new identity and begin making the same allegations, thus prompting questions as to their incentive and agenda.
The posts are clearly orchestrated to create shareholder concern. Many of the posts state information in quotation marks and claim the information is from an IPVO Corporate SEC filing when, in fact, the alarming verbiage comes from another company's filing altogether. Other posts make allegations that the Company is not in compliance with SEC rules. While the SEC has not issued any proclamation of IPVoice non-compliance, these individuals again create shareholder concern. These examples only represent a very small portion of the orchestrated efforts on Raging Bull to create fear, uncertainty and doubt. Please keep in mind, Terra Lycos does not take responsibility for the veracity of the statements, so IPVoice is limited in its ability to take action against slander. The posting individuals are anonymous and their anonymity has been protected by Terra Lycos in court, so it is also difficult for IPVoice to take action against the individuals that have made false and slanderous statements.
The Company has received a number of questions regarding these false claims on Raging Bull. So, in order to alleviate some shareholder's concerns and answer the frequently asked questions being fielded by the Company, the following information is being disseminated:
Please know that no one in management is selling stock or currently has plans to sell stock.
No registration statement is currently being considered in conjunction with any recent fundraising.
The Company has not issued any warrants in over two years.
Any warrants that might have been issued prior to two years ago, which have not expired, have an exercise price dollars above the current share price.
The Company has not entered into any convertible financing engagements that can convert into stock at a discount of the share price at the time of conversion.
The Company does not have any convertibles from financing currently eligible for conversion.
However, the information on Raging Bull indicating that I am a registered Republican is correct.
Counter Measures
To mitigate any potential naked short selling that the shareholders may be suffering, we have accelerated plans to change the Company's name. Accordingly, once we have confirmation from the State of Nevada regarding our name change to NewMarket Technology Inc. we will file for a ticker symbol change and a new CUSIP number. Technically, this should require brokers to exchange old certificates for new. However, in practice we do not anticipate all brokers will comply with this requirement. We do anticipate that those brokers that do comply will affect some resistance on any shorting strategy that may be impacting the current share price. All IPVO shareholders will automatically receive the same amount of shares of NewMarket Technology Inc.
We are also aggressively exploring opportunities to exit the OTCBB exchange and move to a new exchange. We are in active conversations with another US exchange and in the process of finalizing the application. The Company has always had plans to move to a higher caliber exchange, but we are now accelerating these plans in order to generate a necessary reconciliation of accounts that are naked shorting the stock. We also believe that a higher caliber exchange will mitigate our exposure in the future to naked shorting with their requirements that short interest needs to be reported and stock loan requirements are regulated.
To counter the current Raging Bull mudslinging campaign we intend to increase the frequency of our communications. We will initiate a Corporate subsidiary press campaign. The NewMarket subsidiaries are making progress everyday toward their own specific objectives. This progress is sometimes nothing more than a $5,000 sale or a standards certification. However, we believe it is important in the face of the current misinformation campaign to reassure shareholders and make certain the investment community is aware of even the small day to day progress NewMarket is accomplishing at the subsidiary level.
Again, all these counter measures are only supporting efforts to the ultimate strategy to overcome the negative external forces depressing the current price per share. Ongoing performance and fundamentals over time will win in the end. Even if the external activity proves to be illegal, it cannot overcome the Company's operational success. As we continue to meet 2004 objectives for organic growth, acquisitions and profitability shareholder confidence will improve and speculative short positions will have to cover.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

I didn't want to see this stock get down to this level, but since it has without any legitimate reasons I am back in. The pullout of the WFRI was a GOOD thing IMO. The run up to $1.30 was just too fast and it stayed there too long IMO. Now the stock is paying the price for that move but I think it might just rubberband back up to the $1. so count me in.
NewMarket Technology Inc. Announces Dan Scofield and Mike Tinsley to Board of Directors
Wednesday June 16, 10:27 am ET
NewMarket Name Change From IPVoice Communications Inc. and Board of Directors Expansion are Initial Steps to Prepare for Broader Institutional Investment Attention
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 2004-- NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:IPVO - News) today announced Dan Scofield and Mike Tinsley to the Board of Directors. NewMarket has grown rapidly over the last two years from a small publicly traded research and development concern with negligible revenue into a $15 million in annualized revenue company beginning to win recognition for introducing a new business model to continuously market launch emerging technologies. NewMarket projects a profitable annualized revenue run rate of $50 million by December and to book over $20 million in revenue for the year. The new business model includes the periodic spin-off of emerging technologies into separate publicly listed companies. As the NewMarket business model matures, the Company is taking steps to prepare for institutional grade investment attention. Expanding the Board of Directors and fortifying the corporate governance process and procedures is an initial step towards elevating the company into view for institutional investment.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Institutional investment organizations by mandate do not usually consider OTCBB listed companies for investment," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket. "Accordingly, the caliber and terms of capital investment products available to OTCBB listed companies is limited by the volatility of that market without the stabilizing influence of long-term institutional investment. NewMarket has worked to avoid the typical capital investments available to most OTCBB listed companies. We intend to first grow the operational magnitude of NewMarket to the level required for institutional investment interest and demonstrate the basic criteria expected in an institutional investment arena. Our growth to date has edged NewMarket into that arena and the expansion of our Board is a basic first step to fortify our position. We do not plan to consider investment on a scale that would require a registration filing until we have clearly established institutional grade consideration."
Dan Scofield joined NewMarket at the end of 2003 as President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Scofield now expands his responsibilities as a Board Member. He has more than 15 years in operations and service management for consumer and technology companies, including computer and telecom manufacturing organizations. Scofield has also led a $260 million revenue business and launched major new product initiatives. He has successfully created two service companies (Global Service Solutions and Product Support Services), in addition to holding several senior management positions with CompUSA and Uniden, where he served as Division President and Vice President of Operations. Prior to Uniden, he was Vice President of Professional Services for MicroAge Computer Centers and served twelve years in the United States Navy as a commander of Information Services and Aviation Maintenance operations.
Mike Tinsley is currently a partner at Corporate Revitalization Partners, LLC. Mr. Tinsley has more than 20 years of operational experience at the CEO level. Mr. Tinsley brings to the Board a wealth of experience in corporate restructuring and senior management oversight. He also brings to the Board a fresh perspective with a diverse industry background, most of which is outside the technology industry. Given that NewMarkets' business strategy includes the acquisition of distressed systems integration firms, Mr. Tinsley's previous 12 years where he has focused his efforts on turn around opportunities is a valuable asset to the Company. Mr Tinsely's industry experience includes packaging, apparel, foodservice equipment, retail fixture, point of purchase display, visual merchandising, materials handling and storage, analog/digital measurement systems, printing services, media, chemical, retail services, affinity marketing, construction/erosion control and custom software development. Mr. Tinsley also has international experience with previous management responsibility for operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Ireland, France and China.

battling the bashers
Here is an email I received from Mr. Verges.
IPVO has been engaging the bashers on Raging Bull.
Mr. –
Thank you for your email. Indeed, our IR group did post the letter you referenced. The letter is in fact available at our web site:
http://www.ipvoice.com/press_article.asp?id=138
We are trying to limit our involvement in a mud slinging battle. However, we have been compelled to take some effort by the volume of shareholder calls and messages with questions of concern regarding information that is just not true. The misinformation is damaging and we suspect the proliferation of the misinformation is intentional.
Again, thank you for your email. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the future.
Best Regards,

Yep - possible pause around .71
then basically free to run.
Yesterdays news threw my .46ish bottom out the window - bummer personally. I'd be green today with three times previous shares. But what's a few days more - Loooonging for dollars!
Good luck

IPVoice Communications Inc. to Change Corporate Name to NewMarket Technology Inc.
MONDAY, JUNE 14, 2004 9:24 AM
- BusinessWire
DALLAS, Jun 14, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IPVoice Communications, Inc. (IPVO) today announced formally directing legal counsel to execute an official corporate name change to NewMarket Technology Inc. (www.newmarkettechnology.com). The plan to change the corporate name was originally announced last year to support the Company's overall 2004 plans to add healthcare and homeland security solutions to their portfolio of services. The timing of the corporate name change has been coordinated with the Company's plans to spin-off their VoIP business into a standalone publicly listed company. Legal counsel for the Company has been directed to make the appropriate filings with the state of Nevada where the Company is incorporated. In addition, legal counsel has similarly been directed to obtain a corresponding ticker symbol change and stock certificate CUSIP number change. Legal counsel will execute such other steps as necessary to effect the name change.
The NewMarket Technology business model is designed to finance and market launch emerging Internet Protocol communication technologies. While NewMarket will spin-off the VoIP business, NewMarket will retain the support services contract to provide installation, maintenance, programming, and customer service to the standalone VoIP Company.
NewMarket's VoIP subsidiary is XIPTEL Communications (www.xiptel.com) led by CEO Peter Geddis, a former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Qwest Communications (Q) . XIPTEL was formerly named IP Global Voice. The new name, XIPTEL, is pronounced "ziptel." Details regarding the XIPTEL spin-off will be forthcoming.
In depth details regarding the overall NewMarket Technology Inc. business model and progress toward specific 2004 business objectives is included in a recent letter to shareholders from CEO Philip Verges on the Company website (http://www.ipvoice.com/press_article.asp?id=137).

There isn't a day that goes by that I dont kick myself for not selling at $1.30. As Alan Farley would say in "The Master Swing Trader", I let my turkeys out of the trap.
That said, while the stock has been getting punished I dont think anything fundamentally has changed for IPVO. I still think they are progressing toward their goals.
It is a high risk stock. Its OTCBB. But if things go according to Verges's plan it could pay off pretty big in the future.
So, I will keep holding and probably start adding more shares in the coming weeks. The overall markets are not helping things. It may take 6 months or longer for IPVO to break $1 again....(unless they pull out some great news).
I know I bit the bullet.
At least I didn't swallow it. Like I said, I believe in the company but it was a bad day for me all around so I got fustrated and sold.
QBID needs to go to 2 cents for me to make my money back that I lost with IPVO. I think & hope QBID will be at 2 cents before IPVO is at 93 cents.
I'm one of those impatient day traders that panic sell. I taught myself not to but yesterday proved me wrong.

Board for IPVO
Phone Interview with Verges
Thanks pe5K
See post by pe5K #603 for questions
#1 There are ABSOLUTELY no 20 cent warrants floating out in the market. There are $$6.00 warrants that are under water as we all know. This is because the 20 cent warrants were BEFORE the 30 to 1 conversion.
#2 Philip Verges has not issues even one warrant against IPVO. Yes folks, sorry. In fact there are:
NO PIPES
NO WARRANTS
NO PREFERRED CONVERTABLES
#3 There are new SEC filings out that are public knowledge that have not been mentioned on this board yet. The reason these were released without a PR is that it has become apparent to the the company that there is a high likelihood that questionable antics going on that have people selling into PR's for their own gain.
Yes, individuals are likely trying to benefit from a short term reduction in share price.
#4 There continues to be a name change in the works as previously announced. This is being facilitated in the most beneficial way to the shareholders. All i's are being dotted and all t's crossed.
#5 The due dilegence with the WFRI deal was very thourogh and the pursuit was finally ended at this time by IPVO. There continues to be some conversation as stated in the PR. The drop in the share price has absolutely nothing at all to do with this deal being completed or not.
#5 To that end as stated there is another candidate to be announced shortly. IMO, this is likely to be a much better candidate and a better fit for the IPVO family. Announcement within a couple of weeks likely. This will bring us the wireless ISP we are looking for.
#6 Yes Sensitron IP technology can be used to provide services across and ISP wireless network that we aquire. And yes this can be other than medical information.
#7 There are two additional candidates in the previously announced pipeline that have significant promise
#8 Phil Verges has every intention of growing this company and is a 0 flight risk. The company is miles ahead of where it was a year ago. Phil has a significant interest in making this a great company. For those who questioned his commitment and tenure to the company. There is no question here at all.
#9 Phil is at the point where he will be moving toward more institutional involvement in the stock. This will be happening soon. He will be out meeting institutions.
#10 There is or will be a letter to shareholders posted on the website. If it is not up it will be. For the record Phil welcomes any and all questions. All you need to do is meet him at a conference or speak to him. It has become apparent that some people with significant opinions prefer to not speak to him. Facts are hard to dispute I guess.
Check the website for the letter.
Letter To Shareholders IPVO
Date: 6/10/2004
http://www.ipvoice.com/press_article.asp?id=137
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are six months into the 2004 business plan and now two years into our overall effort to introduce a new model for continuously launching emerging technologies. We initiated the original plan in a market reeling from the Dot Com fallout and to say the least, resistant to technology start-ups. Financing for private technology companies was all but non-existent and IPO opportunities where similarly sparse. This left us with introducing the new business model inside an existing publicly traded company and likewise inheriting the issues facing most post Dot Com technology companies. We have overcome the inherited issues and won noteworthy recognition for our overall progress. IPVoice has been recognized by the Dallas Morning News as one of the "Top 200 Companies" in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and by the Dallas Business Journal as the third fast growing publicly traded company in the metroplex.
500% Revenue Growth YTD; 400% More To Go
Today, IPVoice has a better than $15 million annual revenue run rate. That means our current average monthly sales exceed $1.25 million. We plan to achieve a $50 million annual revenue run rate by year end 2004. Again, that means our average monthly sales in December will be $4.2 million. We reported an audited $2.3 million in profitable sales for 2003. That translates into an annual revenue run rate increase of 500% over the past six months with an additional increase of 400% required to reach the year end 2004 $50 million run rate. We have come a long way in six months. We have come a long way over the last two years. We still have a long way to go.
The Business Model and The Acquisition Strategy (Today and Tomorrow)
We have grown through organic sales, but clearly the largest contribution to growth has been acquisition. Acquisition will always be a key component of our business model, but it will not always account for the largest contribution to growth. Our current acquisition strategy is intended to rapidly build the foundation for our long-term business model. Our long term acquisition strategy is the cornerstone of our long-term business model.
Instead of inventing new technologies, we are looking for already invented technologies inside small companies that we can acquire. We strongly believe the most promising new technologies reside in bootstrapped entrepreneurial companies, not inside the bureaucratic research and development departments of large companies. We have built this model inside a public company so that we can use the public market for capital formation intended to fund the refinement of acquired technologies and to fund the initial sales effort to win first to market sales.
Today's new technologies are tomorrow's legacy systems. Technology evolution is very fast. A new technology can mature rapidly. Think about your mobile phone. This shortened overall technology lifecycle makes the window of opportunity to benefit from first to market stock appreciation similarly brief. Our strategy to mitigate the risk of missing this window of opportunity is to include in our business model the services necessary to support the emerging technologies we sell as those emerging technologies mature. When IPVoice exits an emerging technology through spin-off or sale, IPVoice will remain a value added reseller for the technology, as well as providing supporting services such as systems integration and customer service outsourcing.
Accordingly, our current merger and acquisition strategy is intended to establish a foothold in the markets that we believe hold the greatest opportunity for emerging Internet Protocol communications. The markets we have concentrated on are Telecommunications, Healthcare and Homeland Security. Respectively, IPVoice has acquired, Xiptel, MOS and DCI. We are also acquiring technology service companies that build our capacity to provide competitive support services. In this regard we have acquired, VergeTech, Infotel and RKM.
Our growth throughout 2004 will continue to come primarily from merger and acquisition. We currently have over $30 million in annualized revenue through merger and acquisition under Letter of Intent (LOI). The lion's share of this revenue will expand our current technology support service capacity. The balance of this revenue represents acquisitions that begin to transition our business model from the current foundation building acquisition strategy into our long-term acquisition strategy. We have already announced the Netsco and Sensistron LOI's that will add to IPVoice two very compelling proprietary emerging technologies specific to the Homeland Security and Healthcare markets, but both with transferability potential into additional markets.
We have previously announced plans to change the Company's name. As our business model encompasses IP technologies broader than voice, the name IPVoice needs to be updated. We are currently in the process of changing the Company name to NewMarket Technology. The name change will include a stock symbol change and a CUSIP number change.
International Expansion Into Developing Economies
In the last week we have announced joint ventures into China and Latin America. With a business model concentrated on introducing new technologies we believe developing economies present a compelling opportunity. North America is a very mature economic environment. Usually the introduction of an emerging technology requires the replacement of a legacy technology. That legacy technology is more likely than not the offering of an incumbent brand name company. Having a better mouse trap is not even half the battle given a brand name incumbent with a last generation solution. While we have strategies in place to offset the incumbent last generation advantage we will also pursue opportunities where the incumbent last generation advantage is of less issue or non-existent.
Developing economies have three attractive features - first, their overall economy is growing faster than the North American economy; second, there is often no last generation technology to replace, let alone an incumbent brand name competitor; and third, humanitarian financing for large scale projects is available to stimulate overall economic growth.
The foundation of our strategy is to establish a foothold in each of the developing economic regions we have identified as being of interest - Asia Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We have identified these three regions based on the three criteria mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In Asia Pacific and Latin America we have already acquired technology service companies that first give us access to competitively priced technology labor resources, while at the same time providing a platform from which to begin local sales into the respective developing region. The two joint venture announcements over the last week are our first steps toward establishing independent public companies that will pursue regional merger and acquisitions in parallel to the IPVoice merger and acquisition strategy. IPVoice will maintain affiliate management and equity positions in both.
Ongoing Growth and Capital Formation
The primary purpose for a company to establish a public listing is for capital formation. IPVoice has benefited from its public listing in regard to capital formation and plans to similarly form capital in the future to fund future growth. While IPVoice is a publicly listed company, our current ability to form capital is limited by the investment products generally available to companies listed on the OTCBB exchange.
OTCBB investors are likely familiar with many of the common investment products available to OTCBB listed companies - convertible debentures, preferred convertibles, equity credit lines, stock loans, and private investments in public equities. Much debate continually surrounds these various products regarding abuse both alleged and verified. Abuse debate involves abuse allegations directed at both issuers and investors. Legitimate investors take precautions to ensure the veracity of issuers. Likewise, legitimate issuers take precautions to ensure the veracity of investors. Examples exist of OTCBB listed company share price fluctuation in response to the engagement of one financial product or another. Some of these fluctuations are perceived to have resulted from investor or issuer abuse. In regard to any of these products that IPVoice might engage, we will make every effort to avoid potential abuse. We will also make every effort to mitigate the perception of abuse.
We have grown our revenue run rate 500% so far this year. Our overall plan for this year is to grow the revenue run rate by 2000% and realize year to year revenue increase of 1000%. Such growth will require IPVoice to continue to form capital. In our commitment to mitigate potential dilution from financing and optimize the accretive benefit of acquisitions we make it a practice of not over funding. Many start-up, high growth companies fund to support growth well into the future. Our funding horizon is shorter than most. For instance, we make a practice of expanding management to support achieved growth rather than expanding growth once management is in place. Our typical manager is wearing several hats at once. Some may believe this thin management approach and the resulting occasional administrative delays are below some standards expected of a publicly traded company. We will nevertheless continue to manage all administrative requirements, regulatory and otherwise in keeping with a management prioritization of activities that support high growth. The limited horizon funding approach and the associated tactics such as thin management protect shareholder value better than an alternative fund and build ahead of growth approach. We will continue in our commitment to mitigate potential dilution and we will continue in this approach to funding even if we are occasionally unappreciated.
In addition to limiting our funding horizon, we are also endeavoring to engage financing options more attractive to the IPVoice shareholders than those typically available to the OTCBB investors. The introduction of the Innoprise Fund is one such alterative we are continuing to develop. To date, the Innoprise Fund investors can generally be categorized as angel investors. The terms of their cumulative investment are broad and general. My participation in the Innoprise Fund may be the subject of a conflict of interest debate. However, the cumulative investments have been made in large part because of my participation. The use of Innoprise Funds for IPVoice today has been limited to funds secured primarily by the equity interests of the managers of the operating subsidiaries. IPVoice subsidiary managers that acquired their equity in IPVoice through the sale of their private company to IPVoice are putting that equity up as a guaranty on Innoprise funding. I can not commend the commitment of these managers enough. In the event of some unforeseen ability of the primary security to satisfy an unplanned default, IPVoice unregistered stock has been pledged as a backup security at a rate of one share per every one Innoprise dollar. Innoprise has currently only contracted to provide $1.9 million in financing to IPVoice.
Challenges Facing IPVoice
Sales and merger and acquisition growth are proceeding ahead of plans. Certainly, every business, particularly small businesses with high growth objectives in competitive marketplaces, faces numerous ongoing challenges that must be monitored and managed. We will continue to constantly monitor and manage such challenges that might impede our enterprise growth. So far these challenges are well under control.
Recently, the IPVoice stock price and trading, independent of any relative material operational event, has demonstrated activity unprecedented over the last two years. We have received numerous calls. We can only speculate ourselves as to any potential underlying cause. Over the last two years the IPVoice share price has been as low as $0.05 and as high as $1.35. The average daily trading volume in any given month has been as low as 50,000 shares and as high as 2,000,000 shares. We have seen dramatic price gains and price decreases. Little of our operational progress or stock activity history really has any precedent given our short two year lifespan under current management. The OTCBB is arguably the most volatile of the U.S. exchanges.
Nevertheless, the current share price decrease is undoubtedly disheartening to shareholders. We are receiving a number of calls from shareholders looking for an answer. Speculation surrounding the Berlin Stock Exchange fans the flames of disheartenment as does the Terra Lycos Raging Bull postings that insinuate or accuse management of wrongdoing. It is unclear if either of these is directly or indirectly related to the current trading activity. We are progressing with a delisting from the Berlin Stock Exchange, as we do not see any value from the listing. We do find it suspicious that we would be listed without notice, but again we can not confirm any correlation to the recent trading activity. We have recently brought clear libelous postings on Raging Bull to the attention of Terra Lycos and Terra Lycos has been most cooperative in attempting to limit further issue. Posters have been removed and suspended. We will continue efforts to identify and eliminate any inappropriate influence on the IPVoice stock.
Our priority will continue to be on the execution of our business plan. The Company's ability to operate has not been impacted by the recent trading volatility. The Company's ability today to execute on the current business plan requirements necessary to stay on plan for 2004 has not been impacted. Small high-growth companies inevitably face unexpected challenges. Today, while unsettling, the trading activity does not present an immediate challenge to the realization of the 2004 business plan objectives. Should this current issue become such an obstacle then we will address it as we would address any unexpected challenge. We will adapt our plan accordingly, just as we have adapted our plan in the past.
We are already receiving a number of calls and emails, but please do not hesitate to contact the company regarding your questions or concerns related to the current trading activity.
Best Regards,
Philip Verges
CEO and Chairman
IPVoice Communications Inc
Market is a funny thing
sometimes. Of course we've all decided to bite the bullet and bail at one time or other. Just, imo you bit too soon with IPVO.
Now that the report is out the questioning has been answered, will be digested and slooowly turn. Again - imo.
btw - an example of the market being a funny thing ..
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=lrsy.ob
That is NOT a pump, just find as humorous and makes me really scratch my head, bewildered .. like the markets can do.
Good luck
Reckon this explains the drop
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=ipvo.ob
Well, I learned my lesson in the past so I felt as like I was being caught in the rip tide. IFBV, LOCH, MFNX, DNAP all have stabbed me because I just started out and was buying when it was sky rocketing. Of course inexpierenced I held thinking, "I don't lose my money until I sell" so I held, and held, and held. 3 yrs later IFBV still 70% less, all the others have diminished from this world. And yes, they all had promises and news that was good.
I couldn't do that to myself again. I believe IPVO will be our future with the Internet and I believe it will go to $1 soon but I had to sell it & take the loss.
I know QBID will return more in a shorter period of time. Put it this way - QBID has to go to .02 to make back what I lost with IPVO.
After all, I can deduct the loss when I file taxes.
Good Luck to all.
All, there was a LOT of material covered. PLEASE go to ragingbull.com and type in IPVO. Look for all the posts from oldtimersrevenge. The interview was concluded mid-afternoon, so go back to ALL of oldtimersrevenge's posts. Thanks,
regards,
pe5k
You were looking for a
nickel, rode it down twenty and sold? Ouch. Why did ya do that?
All about numbers. Because you have a loss on a stock doesn't mean you shouldn't continue working it.
The company has no problem. The market is working the pps which IPVO has little to nothin too do with ..
Did you see my opinion of .46ish then back up?
Good luck
Who gives a shit now. I'm out!
My exit point was .83 after I bought @.78 last week. I saw .81 for 10 seconds and now look. I'm completly out and I never want to see that stock again!!
What time is the interview??
When IPVO sees
.46, the sooner .70's will come.
Depending on PR's.
There was a lot of excitement (myself included) when the WFRI deal was announced. Big revenue numbers were stated and when the actual numbers were filed the company looked like a real loser. We were still over a dollar then, but I think a lot of the wind was knocked out of the sail. Actually, when IPVO announced they had abandoned the deal, I took that as very positive. Now they are looking at Latin American deals. That doesn't sound too good. I had solid support around .66. If we see a lot of volume below that number, look out. We could be headed back down to the mid to high .30's IMO. On the other hand if they find a GOOD acquisition we could shoot back up. We'll see. I'm in BICO.OB now. They are struggling too right now and looking for a financing deal. good luck to all
All, I think that there are a lot of nervous holders of IPVO out there. Yesterday news came out but did nothing to help share price. Buyers are cautious. As soon as I get any feedback from oldtimer on the ragingbull message board I will report back to this message board. I don't know about you guys, but I got hurt pretty bad yesterday. Oh well, at least I still have my health and my wife still loves me.
regards,
pe5k
Hmmm. I wonder if this lead to the downfall? WFRI ceased acquisition discussions with IPVoice Communications. They said that IPVO didn't have the same goals as them.
WFRI Wireless Frontier Internet Announces a New CFO
June 10, 2004 07:00:00 (ET)
FORT STOCKTON, Texas, Jun 10, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wireless Frontier Internet Inc. (Pink Sheets:WFRI), an industry-leading provider of wireless broadband Internet access for rural-based home and business consumers, announces that Kelly E. Simmons has joined the company as its new Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Simmons, a Texas CPA, has over 25 years experience in financial management including accounting, SEC reporting, mergers and acquisitions, information systems, and investor relations.
From 1988 to 2000, Mr. Simmons held various positions, including CFO, with two affiliated public companies, US Long Distance (Nasdaq:USLD) and Billing Concepts (Nasdaq:BILL) which grew from $2M in 1988 to over $500M in 1999 with over 1,200 employees. "BILL" was the 6th most profitable company on NASDAQ in 1998, 13th in 1997. USLD grew largely through acquisitions, and Mr. Simmons led that activity for the company. Most recently Mr. Simmons was with Edgen Corporation, a private company owner of pipe distributorships in 20 states around the country. Edgen was also developed through acquisitions.
"Kelly has a wealth of knowledge of public company transactions that are closely aligned to our business model and focus. He also has broad Corporate Board experience that is critical in light of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are very glad to have Mr. Simmons on board," commented Alex Gonzalez, Chairman and CEO of Wireless Frontier Internet.

"We remain committed to growing our business in rural areas, delivering wireless broadband services to an underserved portion of the marketplace. Our decision to cease discussions with IPVoice resulted from our conviction that our goals are not compatible with those of IPVoice," stated Alex Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Wireless Frontier.
Founded in 1998, Wireless Frontier Internet is a leader in wireless broadband deployment.

http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/index.jsp?epi-content=NEWS_VIEW_POPUP_TYPE&newsId=...
pe5k, I look forward to the responses. Please don't forget us here. Thanks!
All, excuse me, my mistake, the phone interview with Mr. Verges is scheduled for Thursday (June 10, 2004). I will get back to this board with all of his answers. Excel, I wouldn't know the first thing about being a monitor. My computer skills are still in the dinosaur age (I still have dial up). Do you think you will ever come back as monitor?
regards,
pe5k
Pe5k or anyone else just want you to know the board monitor job is open. Just need to let Matt know you want it.
I'm still following IPVO daily. Be nice to see someone who is long take it on and keep i-box up to date.
All, I usually post on the ragingbull board, but I wanted you all to know that "oldtimer" has scheduled a phone interview with Mr Verges for tommorrow (June 9, 2004). Some of the questions that we plan to ask Mr. Verges are: What is the progress toward getting de-listed on the Berlin stock exchange? What is the progress toward getting listed on a major U.S. stock exchange? When will IPVO become "NEW MARKET TECHNOLOGIES? Will this entail a stock ticker symbol change? What can you tell us about possible spinoffs? When I get the answers to these questions, I will post them here for this board to see.
regards,
pe5k
Fly_Boy Thanks~!
Fly_Boy thanks for pointing out that otclive is pumping IPVO.....
OTC Live's Stock of the Month is IPVoice Communications (OTCBB: IPVO), with a 6 month target price of $2.50
http://www.otclive.com/ipvo.htm
Investment Highlights
Company recently announced $2.6 Million First Quarter Revenue representing a 443% Increase over First Quarter 2003--and greater than the total Fiscal 2003 revenue
2003 Annual Report Reported a 145% revenue increase over 2002 at $2.3 Million
IPVO has closed on four acquisitions in the past eight months with forecasted annual revenues of $19 million (Infotel, Medical Office Software, RKM IT Solutions, and Digital Computer)
Company has announced Letters of Intents to acquire companies with annual revenue totaling $23 million and currently conducting due diligence. (Wireless Frontier, Netsco Services, and Sensitron)
Attractive Entry Point: Technical chart shows a stock under accumulation at the 10 Day Moving Average (DMA) after making a Triple Bottom at .62-.64. Technical traders interpret a move above the 10 DMA at .83 on increased volume as significant--and a move above the 50 DMA at .99 as confirmation of an uptrend. (See charts above and at left tool bar)
The reason for a $2.50 target price for IPVO?:
We believe IPVO is undervalued at its current price of $.82 cents and a modest market cap of $43.5 Million. IPVO's projected annualized revenue run rate is $50 million by the end of 2004 and a forecast of BOOKED REVENUE for 2004 of $20 million. Considering that IPVO has acquired or announced Letter of Intents (LOI) to acquire a number of companies with annual revenues of $2-$15 million, and the CEO has indicated there are acquisition targets in the "double digit revenue" range, IPVO's growth has been rapid and dramatic. The Company just announced its First Quarter 2004 financials, with reported revenue 400% greater than First Quarter 2003. Or, put another way, IPVO's revenue for First Quarter 2004 was more than the revenue for the ENTIRE YEAR of 2003. Organic growth continues to contribute to the growth achieved through acquisitions. Now, with a projection of $50 million in annualized revenue run rate by the end of 2004 with all these acquisitions, the company is trading less than its near-term future sales, while its peers such as (Nasdaq: SONS) (Nasdaq: VOCL) and the VOIP market companies trading 25-40 times its sales.
IPVoice started out as an early development stage company six years ago and has turned into a dynamic force in the communications technology market after new management took over. With six of its last seven quarters profitable and having met its goal of achieving an annualized revenue run rate of $15 million by end of March 2004, IPVO is establishing itself as a rapidly growing company with stakes in three interrelated markets--Homeland Security, Healthcare and Telecommunications. IPVoice is actively acquiring early stage proprietary technology companies and financially challenged systems integration companies in specific global markets to establish its portfolio as a leader in the Communications Technology market. By taking advantage of cross-selling opportunities between the various acquisitions, organic growth is expected to ramp up in future quarters.
The same way Cisco did 9 years ago, when it was acquiring small technology companies to grow into a huge leader in the communications market, IPVO, with its portfolio of six companies that it has acquired over the past year, has reiterated recently its 2004 forecast of $50 million in annualized revenue run rate from its $15 million forecast announced at the beginning of 2004.
The Company
IPVoice Communications, Inc. ("IPVoice") or ("the Company") is a promising Texas-based hi-tech turnaround concentrating on the continuous market introduction of emerging communication innovations. The Company's unique marketing approach packages new communication innovations with incumbent brand name powerhouses. In conjunction with an expanding line of proprietary in-house products, IPVoice currently markets the advanced Internet Protocol (IP) software technologies of Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO - NASDAQ) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SUNW - NASDAQ).
IPVoice has a history of introducing first to market technologies that drive consumer demand for network bandwidth by making existing voice, data and video communications better. Recently the Company expanded its reach to include communication innovations in Healthcare, Homeland Security, and Information Warfare. Future market segment expansions are in the works.
Following four years of restructuring and research and development, the Company launched its first sales efforts in July 2004. IPVoice was both profitable and cash flow positive in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 on an annualized $2 million in sales (ref: SEC Form 10KSB).
The Company has previously released a number of announcements regarding prospective acquisitions of businesses with proprietary IP technology intended to expand their current in-house product line. While these transactions are still in development, the strategic priority is to build a solid customer base through which new products can be market tested, refined, and rolled out into full production. By expanding globally, IPVO's goal is do take advantage of developing country market opportunities -- using a talented, yet inexpensive labor pool, along with focusing in areas where competition is not so entrenched as in First World countries. By utilizing synergies between the various acquisitions, IPVO intends to maximize its corporate strengths while minimizing administrative and operational redundancies.
Closed Acquisitions and Announced LOI's to Acquire
Company has announced LOI's to acquire or has acquired a total of 6 companies since the beginning of 2004. With its increased revenue forecasts, an annualized run rate of $100 million in revenue by the end of 2005 is certainly attainable considering its strategy of acquiring small companies and turning them into profitable technological entities.
May 10, 2004 - Wireless Frontier Internet
Just found out tonight that IPVO is getting pumped by otclive.com I'll take all the help I can get as my patience is wearing thin.
Thanks for the info intercepter72. I also gathered that the new name may be New Market Technology. I have received a powerpoint presentation from Ric the investor relations of IPVO. I hope this helps everybody on this board. I have also asked Ric about listing on the major exchange and he mentioned planning but nothing official. I hope they do. More exposure out there is good for this company. Good luck to all Longs and new investors.
I have read on this board that IPVO was looking to get listed possibly on the AMEX and change their name some time in June 2004 but nothing official...
IPVoice Communications Inc. Reports on Merger and Acquisition Pipeline Totaling $30 Million in Annualized Revenue
MONDAY, JUNE 07, 2004 12:35 PM
- BusinessWire
DALLAS, Jun 7, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IPVoice Communications, Inc. (IPVO) today announced having a total merger and acquisition pipeline signed under various Letters of Intent (LOI) representing more than $30 million in total annualized revenue. IPVoice has been aggressively pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities to expand the company's current telecommunication, healthcare and homeland security offerings, as well as to ramp up the supporting systems integration, software development and customer service capabilities. Much of IPVoice's recent merger and acquisition progress has gone previously unannounced as IPVoice has recently decided to make a practice of only announcing LOI's after due diligence is complete. IPVoice reports that the current $30 million signed under various LOI's is all within a sixty day horizon of anticipated closing. IPVoice is specifying that the $30 million in potential annualized revenue growth does not include the previously announced Wireless Frontier Internet LOI (WFRI) .
IPVoice remains committed to building a wireless Internet strategy. However, after conducting its due diligence and reevaluation of expected synergies, IPVoice has cooled to the Wireless Frontier Internet acquisition. IPVoice management has determined the Wireless Frontier customer footprint and associated revenue numbers are not as compelling as originally anticipated. IPVoice remains interested in Wireless Frontier, but has ceased negotiations. However, should Wireless Frontier return with a working proposal closer to IPVoice's post due diligence valuation, IPVoice will still consider the merger and acquisition opportunity. Alternatively, IPVoice has signed a Letter of Intent with a private wireless Internet provider with current contracted revenue equal to that of Wireless Frontier.
"We have already announced the Sensitron and Netsco LOI's," said Philip Verges CEO of IPVoice. "These two acquisitions respectively expand our current healthcare and homeland security offerings. The yet to be announced wireless Internet LOI complements our current Voice over IP (VoIP) strategy and will either replace or enhance our efforts with Wireless Frontier. Shareholders should anticipate a joint announcement regarding the specifics of our wireless Internet deal with in the next two weeks. With just over an annual $15 million revenue run rate today and a forecasted $50 million annual run rate by year end, shareholders are understandably expectant on developments regarding IPVO's progress with its acquisition strategies. With this announcement, we will begin to regularly communicate our merger and acquisition plans and developments, to include the cooperative financing plans and progress to support these acquisitions."

NASDAQ?
I'm from Belgium and new to this board and IPVO. Invested last week for the first time at $.76
I read you guys are awaiting a listing on a larger Index, I suppose the Nasdaq... When do you think this is going to happen? Have there been any press releases indicating this will happen? I read there will be a namechange in the near future. Since people like namechanges, especially with "smaller" companies listed on the OTC, I'm thinking this will improve visibility of the stock and eventually get us into a higher pricerange.
Now the only thing we need are some stock splits
