Corporation Completes DCi Asset Acquisition
Revenue-generating
Company Enhances Financial Outlook
DALLAS
(October 14, 2002) - ViewCast Corporation (VCST.OB) today
announced that it has completed the acquisition of the assets
and operations of Delta Computec Inc. (DCi). DCi's extensive
customer base, complementary product offerings and positive
EBITDA for its most recent fiscal year should have a favorable
impact on the sales and operations of ViewCast.
DCi
is a provider of professional information technology and
customized network support services to Fortune 500 and Fortune
1000 corporations, mid-sized companies, hospitals, health
care facilities and financial institutions primarily in
the Northeast. This transaction should enhance ViewCast's
ability to move to profitability and to provide its customers
with innovative products and support. DCi should not only
increase ViewCast's revenue through its ongoing operations,
it should also increase the current systems revenue by enabling
ViewCast to bundle services with hardware and software.
Additionally, DCi will provide expanded sales channels,
enhanced customer support through real-time IT integration
and access to key clients in their vertical markets.
ViewCast
purchased all of DCi's assets, including operating assets,
property, contracts, and customer lists in exchange for
a combination of up to $1 million in cash payments, issuance
of up to 150,000 shares of unregistered redeemable, convertible
preferred stock with each share having a stated value of
$10.00, and the assumption of certain liabilities. The preferred
stock provides for a conversion option to common stock at
$1.50 per share of ViewCast common stock.
