As we enter into 2015, I would like to take a moment in this newsletter to wish you a Happy New Year and share some reflections on 2014.

While each year brings new opportunities, 2014 was a record year for Aimetis in many ways. The Company had its best year financially with revenues growing 44% year-over-year. One of the key drives to this growth was the increased market adoption of Aimetis leading video management software and physical security appliances, which saw unit sales grow close to 50% from the previous year. The Company also introduced exciting new offerings such as Aimetis Thin Client and cloud-based Enterprise Manager that deliver value to our customers and differentiating Aimetis solutions in the market. We also continued to expand our geographic footprint with the opening of regional offices in Sao Paulo and Dubai, while doubling our global sales and support staff.

Though we are proud of these accomplishments, we recognize that our success is not possible without the continued support and contribution of our 800+ partners around the globe. The strong momentum from 2014 has set Aimetis up for what looks to be another promising year and have aggressive plans to introduce several new offerings that will help contribute to our mutual success.

We look forward to working with you to help make 2015 another record year.

Sincerely,
Marc Holtenhoff
Chief Executive Officer
