ViewCast CEO Updates Corporate Progress

PLANO, Texas, March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that the Company had a strong fourth quarter of 2010, the third consecutive quarter of substantial year-over-year revenue growth. ViewCast management expects to continue significant annual growth for 2011 and looks forward to introducing new products and features along with establishing additional strategic business partnerships throughout the year and into 2012, according to President and CEO Dave Stoner.  Full financial results for the 2010 fourth quarter and year will be announced at the end of March.

"Once again we achieved steady, substantial fourth quarter and year-over-year revenue growth," Stoner said. "Thanks to the recovery of the economy, our investments in product development and an influx of talented senior management and staff, we believe we are on track in 2011 to enjoy the best year for digital media product sales in ViewCast's history."

Stoner outlined some of the major accomplishments of 2010, including:

• A record year for business with ViewCast's largest OEM customer.
• The enthusiastic customer response to the launch of the Niagara 4100, a rugged, portable streaming media appliance that delivers high-definition (HD) video from virtually any location.
• Addition of Apple HTTP Live Streaming for the iPhone and iPad to the Niagara encoding platform.
• New experienced senior leadership in sales, business development and product development.

Stoner's positive outlook for 2011 is based on a variety of market and other factors.  He said, "The data we see on emerging customer activities indicates that we are returning to a solid base with more normal seasonal purchasing patterns.  That indicates to us another strong year of growth with the first quarter showing the least strength as annual plans take shape, followed by steady growth in the balance of the year as those customer plans are executed. We also anticipate the kick-off of at least one new large customer relationship in the first half of 2011 reinforcing that pattern."  

Stoner continued, "Substantial new business opportunities exist in the market and our products are well positioned to capture those sales opportunities identified.  We believe by increasing our sales reach into the market and feet on the street, more sales opportunities will be generated under our capable sales leadership; such initiatives will likely translate into continued and accelerated revenue growth."  

That confidence has been reflected by private investors including a ViewCast board member resulting in the Company's recent $750,000 equity raise at the end of 2010.  The capital added a little kick start to accelerate the addition of sales staff and increase lead generation programs besides providing additional operational working capital.  Already, the expansion of the Company sales force into a truly global unit with new team members in Europe and a local presence in the Asia-Pacific region has been accomplished.

"We have methodically built a foundation for another growth year in 2011," Stoner concluded. "Our strategy continues to be to expand our global sales footprint by enhancing our internal sales team, partnering with key global distributors and seeking strategic merger and acquisition prospects, while at the same time investing in product development to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving marketplace."
