| 08/9/00 HSAC
(Nasdaq) Alert time: 10:02 am Price 6 716. Today is a
double bang for Denver based High Speed Access. First, in a new era where major
funding is extremely hard to come by for internet related issues, High Speed Access
is defying the odds. Yesterday, this leading provider of broadband
services (mainly to residential customers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs)),
announced an agreement in principle to receive a preferred equity investment of $75
million from Vulcan Ventures Inc., the investment organization of Paul G. Allen, and
Charter Communications, Inc. "...This investment in HSA
underscores our commitment to a fully integrated broadband solution for our customers.''
according to Charter CEO, Jerry Kent. Second, HSAC beat the street reporting net revenue of $2,757,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 330% over net revenue of $641,000 generated for the second quarter of 1999. HSA's residential broadband subscriber base increased 58% from 26,000 at March 31, 2000 to approximately 41,000 at the end of the second quarter. As of June 30, 2000, HSA had the right to offer services to more than 6.6 million homes passed under contracts or letters of intent, and had deployed its high-speed Internet service on local broadband networks passing approximately 2.9 million homes. "In the second quarter, we accelerated our deployments of broadband infrastructure, expanding our deployed footprint to over 2.9 million homes passed," said Dan O'Brien, President and CEO of HSA. "We also enjoyed our biggest quarter ever in terms of subscriber gains, adding approximately 15,000 residential broadband subscribers." Earlier this year, HSA also announced a $100 million commitment to the rollout of Internet telephony, funded in part by an equity investment in HSA by Lucent Technologies. |

Denver based B2B player BEA Systems, is the developer of WebLogic Server, an award-winning E-Commerce Transaction Platform, that helps companies launch e-commerce initiatives quickly by building e-commerce infrastructures that leverage existing platforms.

Also noticed Internet Investor voted BEAS #2 in their top 10 stock picks. Over the weekend, One analyst appearing on CNBC market watch labeled BEAS his single best stock pick as well as a stock to watch this week due mainly earnings surprises in the past, and predicted they would blowout earnings estimates (to be reported on Aug 15) again.
In other news last week, BEAS received Sun Microsystems J2EE certification. Sun EVP, Pat Sueltz stated, ``BEA's move to enter the market for J2EE technology-compatible applications validates their commitment and position as a major force shaping the present and future of the networked economy.''

7/6/00 alert time 9:49 am NEON Nasdaq Price 41 3/16. Denver based New Era of Networks, Inc. is a supplier of Internet infrastructure software and services for B2B and B2C markets. NEON enables next generation e-Business, helping companies bring end-to-end business functionality to the Internet in the shortest possible time frame.
Today NEON surprised the street by announcing it anticipates revenues of approximately $50 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, based on a preliminary analysis of its results. The company cited strong demand and signed over 150 software contracts during the quarter. In addition, NEON said they would beat the street earnings estimates. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of 4 cents per share, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. The company reported a loss of 19 cents per share in the second quarter 1999. More importantly, NEON is forecasting a strong upcoming quarter.
Expansions of their deals with Broadvision, IBM and Commerce One, are the main reasons behind the accelerating growth. In addition, broad acceptance of its e-business products, including NEON technology embedded in IBM and BEA Systems (Nasdaq: BEAS) is driving even stronger demand.
Also, their e-Biz 2000 product is causing a stur with sales greatly outdistancing expectations. e-Biz 2000 is built on the company's newest e-Business integration server, e-Biz 2000, and hosted on Windows NT or Windows 2000 platforms. With a feature-rich toolset, e-Biz 2000 for Insurance offers connectivity to any system - whether legacy or Windows-based. It includes support for XML, EDI and ACORD AL3, the industry's e-Business communication standard.
Last month, NEON swept the eAI Journal Vendor of the Year category of eAI Awards 2000, awarded to e-Business integration providers who have most advanced and enabled e-Business to the widest possible audience. ``These awards confirm that our strategy of 'NEON Inside' is rapidly making NEON the de facto standard for e-Business integration,'' said Rick Adam, NEON CEO.
Over 3,000 customers worldwide, spanning all major industries including financial services, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, and telecommunications, use NEON products. NEON's strongest partnerships are with BEA Systems, BroadVision, Commerce One, IBM and Microsoft.
5/25/00 alert time 7:48 am JDEC Nasdaq Price 11 3/4. Cash Rich, ERP powerhouse, JDEdwards is positioning itself quickly, now that Founder, Ed McVaney is back in the picture. JDEC develops, markets and supports enterprise software and supply chain computing solutions The Company's integrated applications deliver e-business solutions that give customers control over their front office, manufacturing, logistics/distribution, human resources, finance and customer service management processes. JDEC is widely known because of their OneWorld and WorldSoftware enterprise business software. They also market ActivEra(TM) Solutions deliver supply chain collaboration and fulfillment, and enable B2B trading communities in the consumer products, industrial and services industries.
Today, they announced flat earnings, but witnessed a 22% increase in License revenue, which surprised some analysts in addition to posting a profit. The growth was fueled by sales to customers including Raytheon RF Components, Miller Fluid Power Corporation, Royal Vopak, Miller Group Limited and Wessanen USA, Inc.
The real news however, centers around turnaround because of Ed McVaney becoming the CEO again recently. Ed is a highly respected leader in the ERP software development sector as he grew JDE since 1977 to compete against giants like SAP. Earlier this week, he layed off 800 (13% of staff) as part of a restructuring aimed at getting its cost structure in line with revenues. The restructuring also expects to realize savings from, among other things, implementation of its e-procurement solutions, wider use of computer-based training alternatives for customers, reducing office space and related overhead expenses.
