Since it's founding in 1994, ALT Software continues to prove its ability to deliver ongoing quality software to its clients. ALT Software specializes in delivering inventive software products, services, and design solutions to enable OEMs to rapidly produce, deploy, and support reliable embedded devices. Our quality assurance team and matured QA lab consistently ensures quality software development in all phases of its development cycle. Our teams of developers ensure rigorous coding standards are adhered to and that software architecture standards are always maintained. By using industry-based certifications, comprehensive test suites, vast QA experience and internally developed testing procedures, we consistently deliver high quality software. ALT has always had a major focus on developing quality software, it is a large factor in ALT remaining in business for the last 10 years. To produce quality software, the design of the software must be architected from the beginning to account for the final testing requirements. ALT has many years of experience commencing with the Microsoft WHQL certification program in 1994, and continuing with ISO 9000 programs. The addition of DO-178B in January 2001 is one of the newer certifications ALT has added to its quality suite. At ALT, quality is more than running a test suite on a software program. It is the functional and design specifications at the start of a project that define the scope of the project. Specifying external resources are required, and what externally developed software is this software module required to function with in the target system. It continues with source code control and design reviews throughout the project to ensure a specific build target is reproducible. Interim software builds are documented with a description of what has changed, and accompanied with error and test reports. When the final build is certified, ALT can prove quality was built into the software from the beginning. This is a key ideology in the ISO 9000 framework, and the DO-178B guidelines.

Hemera was founded with the goal of making it easy and affordable to use high-quality digital images in any type of application. Targeting homes, schools, business and for professional projects as well. Hemera actually has one of the largest, if not the largest, collection of wholly owned digital images in the world. This gives us several advantages. One is that we can offer our complete image line royalty-free which has several advantages. One is that it means that our customers can use the images in any way they want, without having to worry about paying on a per usage basis. The other part of royalty-free for us is the fact that the images are wholly owned, which means that we do not have to pay a royalty on the back end. For us this translates into much greater control over how we can use the content and into our margins. In addition to the image assets of this large collection, we also provide a really unique software technology to make it easy to search and use images. This allows people who aren't familiar with graphics, from the home consumer right up to the business user, people that don't use graphics on a daily basis but do need them once in awhile, to be able to use them very quickly and easily. So, really it comes down to our mission of leveraging our image assets and technologies to deliver high-quality images through many different channels and to as many different customers segments as we can. NASH: David, give us a sense of the opportunity in this space. I mean with the proliferation of the home computer and then everyone sort of having that entrepreneurial spirit, I would think a lot of opportunity exits. HOOD: The digital imaging market is a huge market and still has a lot of untapped potential. We divide the market up into three large segments to make it easier to look at. The first is the consumer segment, where we talk about home, school and small office customers. And there's no question that this segment is growing with, as you said, the proliferation of computers. Another segment that we think will be very large in the future is the business segment, with more and more people in a business capacity requiring images for use in their business communications. These are people whose role does not include graphic design, but people in marketing, sales and finance who need to make presentations and add impact to documents using images. The third segment we see is the one that's probably the most established so far, which is the graphics professional market. Looking at these three segments we think that there's a five billion dollar opportunity within the next three or four years. NASH: And what is Hemera's core customer? I mean, you've mentioned the three sectors, but basically is there a particular customer or market base that you were targeting of those three sectors? HOOD: Right now, we have two main types of customers. The first are the customers that use Photo-Objects and The Big Box of Art; these are packaged products that are sold globally in three different languages and available, I think, in 10 to 15 different countries, mostly in retail outlets. These products are available for both Windows and Macintosh and the customer is very much the home, school and business user, and also to a certain extent professional multimedia designers. We also have a second type of customer, which are our licensing partners. These are hardware, software and service companies who license our images as well as our technology and include them in their products or offer them for resale. Examples of these types of customers are Hewlett Packard Company, AOL, Kodak and quite a long list of others. NASH: Let's talk about that a little more. How are you reaching your customers? How are you marketing Hemera to the targeted audience? HOOD: We have a strategy defined by segments. So in the consumer market we utilize mostly the retail channels, but we also use licensing. We license images and technology to quite a few companies that then offer their own retail packages available to that market as well. Within the business segment, and this is the segment that is fairly new and the one that offers the most potential, we're taking a multi-pronged approach. Once again OEMing and licensing will be important for us. This is a segment where people are already using productivity applications, such as Microsoft PowerPoint. They're also using scanners and printers, and so we'll be getting our products out with our partners to give the business segment access to our content. NASH: So, is your revenue model one of licensing, and am I getting the hint that there's going to be a subscription revenue model also? HOOD: We have a multi-channel approach and so, yes, we do have licensing revenue and that is one of our important channels. We have our retail presence, which for us is very good for several reasons. One, it allows us to reach a market that none of, or very few of, our competitors on the higher end can. Two, retail is such a good branding exercise. People see the physical products on the store shelves. And finally there are our on-line initiatives and you are quite right to guess that a subscription will be part of that. NASH: David, there are others in this space, both large and small, and they're taking a different approach, I mean, even when you're speaking about Microsoft, when you buy the software, they have an image program in there. Why should we be looking at the Hemera solution a bit more closely? What are the value propositions of Hemera? HOOD: Hemera has two unique value propositions. One is that from the very beginning we've taken a wholly owned approach to digital images, giving us the capability to distribute them through channels and to allow customers to use them in ways that many of our competitors can't. The second, and this is what's been winning us many, many awards over the years, is our technology that allows people to access our images. And we actually call it our "search and use" technology. So the key is how quickly you can find the images and then how easily you can use them. The founders of Hemera come from a technology mindset, a technology background. And so when we create products, we create so that people can get the content very quickly and easily into the applications that they're using. Be it Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, or CorelDraw for example. And so I think we have a very unique combination of wholly owned content and technology that allows people to search and use the images. And this approach, I think, gives us a real competitive advantage over the other players that we've seen. Another unique value proposition is our multi-channel approach of distributing through retail, OEM and the Internet. NASH: You've eluded to it in the past, but then let's talk about the recently launched AbleStock. Tell us about that initiative and what type of forecasting the company has assigned to that initiative.
