It is the part of a note in two parts on Infinium.



Infinium seems to rebound to strike the fine funds during 2001 at the time when the market thought that it could not have been worse than 2000 (see the ends of Infinium its year more provocante). Indeed, the two last years were not for the shy person - Infinium saw the incomes of paralysis, the inflated losses, the departures almost of the whole leadership team, and the first dismissals significant (20% of the personnel) in the history of company. Particularly painful was Q4 2001, when its incomes very safe missing (see diagram 1 below) as the company deadened its failed company of asp (supplier of solution of application). Against this context, the company 'tenacity and capacity of S of launching a return deserves the praise.

While the company did not cry reversed milk more for a long time, it also did not pour ashes above its head for length one or the other. The moment to examine the sound of its competences and/or resources had come. At the end of 2001, Infinium successfully seems to have bitten the ball. Consequently, the fast return detected to profitability during the two last quarters, a positive movement of treasury $3.8 million and growth of income of the last quarters replaced customers and investors confidence; the company was recently restored in Nasdaq, and its recent current execution seems to be on a way right to create a decent market cap and to erase all remaining stockholders' equity of negative actions.

After rigorous examination and evaluation of the company of the 'forces and weaknesses of S, new management concluded that Infinium S above history operation decades two long, its functional and extensible solutions, more than $40 million the periodic current of incomes of service and maintenance (on incomes $74 total million in 2001), and faithful user base (with more conservation of customer of 90%) due to the traditionally exceptional customer that the care should guarantee for future success provided the company can limit challenges. Some of the latter, like a broken financial model, money burning cash, and has apparently carries gyratory management were successfully addressed. The result is the replaced employees and the market 'enthusiasm of S to be advanced.
