POMPANO BEACH, Fla., May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Onstream Media Corporation (NASDAQ:ONSM), an online service provider of live and on-demand internet video, today announced key highlights from the fiscal second quarter financial results conference call, which occurred May 15, 2008.
Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, commented, "During the call on May 15, we discussed our expectations for the fiscal third quarter, based on the strong sales volume we booked during April. Based on our webcasting business having the strongest April in our company's history, and as we evaluate our volume during the early part of May and our forecast for the remainder of the quarter, we believe third quarter revenue will reach record levels. This estimate also includes the ongoing growth in our DMSP customer base and the incremental growth related to Infinite Conferencing due to increased business from software and other conferencing companies. However, it does not include the benefit of any orders from our participation in the Qwest Networx contract, although we have begun to receive requests for quotations in connection with this contract and anticipate initial orders during the second half of our current fiscal year." In addition, the Company's management discussed progress on the recently introduced iEncode product, which is completing final evaluation by test customers. Management believes this product will generate approximately $25,000 in webcasting revenue per user per year, and current expectations are for initial revenue contribution during the second half of this fiscal year.
"We have put in place a compelling array of catalysts which should begin to demonstrate enhanced revenue growth during the second half of the year, contributing to a record revenue-generating third quarter," Mr. Selman concluded. "During this second quarter call, we again reiterated our expectation of at least 40% top-line growth for the full fiscal year."
