We are pleased to announce the sale of IPV to a number of new
shareholders managed by Nash Fitzwilliams of London.
The deal was organised as a result of further
funding requirements which the VC market was not able to meet.
The
transaction was carried out with the professional help of Numerica who helped
the management organise a pre-packaged arrangement at fair value for the
shareholders.
The
original funders receive ongoing royalties on sales
of the company’s products going forward over the next year.
The
new business has been oversubscribed for it’s funding
requirements and is well set to do well in the market place with a number of
new products hitting the markets this year.
We
wish the management team well in achieving the success they deserve.
We are
delighted to welcome

The company’s latest product, FMA, allows
high quality video footage to be browsed over any Internet connection.
FMA technology enables the video creation process to begin
before the video download has been completed, thus enabling faster editing
times, without compromising quality. The product provides for more efficient
use of download time by enabling the user to focus the available bandwidth on
browsing any chosen section of footage during the download process.
FMA applications save video professionals time and money
without disturbing the way they work.
FMA has received wide critical acclaim at leading trade
events and was awarded a Star Award at the National Association of Broadcasters
(NAB) in April 2001. Since then IPV has
begun rolling out FMA products to professional video and Internet customers.
