Happy New Year and Welcome to 2011!

As we start the New Year, Aimetis would like to thank all of our business partners and customers for their effort, teamwork, and commitment in 2010. Our success would not have been possible without your contribution.

2010 saw Aimetis continue to execute on its long-term growth plans. For the year, unit sales were up 40% compared to 2009, and the number of global reseller partners increased by 67% to over 400 globally representing market coverage in over 100 countries. And while our channel initiatives continue to be strong, we also saw Aimetis participate in many enterprise projects. In Serbia, the City of Novi Sad deployed over 1000 Aimetis Symphony video management and analytics licenses. Munich Airport has expanded its use of Aimetis Symphony to Terminal 2, bringing the total cameras under Aimetis management to 1,900.

Aimetis also made significant advancements to its product line, including the release of the latest version of Aimetis Symphony, 6.5, which offers enhanced scalability, availability and updated video analytics. Additionally, we launched Aimetis People Counter, an embedded video analytics software application for Axis cameras which tracks the bi-directional flow of objects as they pass a user defined boundary – an ideal application for retail environments, schools, banks, recreation facilities, prisons, airports and other environments that require intelligent customer and operational insight.

Our recent business and product success has also been recognized in the security industry. In an Intelligent Video Vendor Shootout, Aimetis video analytics outperformned several industry offerings in an independent product review conducted by system integrator VideoControlRoom along with A&S Magazine. 2010 also saw Aimetis achieve Axis Gold Application Development Partner (ADP) status, the highest partner membership echelon offered by Axis Communications, as well as Axis ADP Partner of the Year for North Asia, reflecting the Aimetis position of market leader for intelligent IP video management software.

Again, a very big thank you to all our partners and customers who contributed to our achievements in 2010 and we look forward to our continued shared success in 2011!

Sincerely,

Marc Holtenhoff
Chief Executive Officer
