THE COMPANY
GenesisIntermedia, Inc. uses its core competencies to develop technologies and technology-related companies to market and sell products and services in strategically identified market segments. We own distinct marketing channels, and through CENTERLINQ, are a leading provider of public Internet access portals in shopping malls. We have been establishing an infrastructure to build, develop and nurture new companies and technologies, with an emphasis on matching traditional products, services and businesses with compatible technologies. We market our products and services, which we develop, license exclusively or distribute for third parties, utilizing traditional media, including network and cable television, radio, newspapers and magazines, as well as newer technologies, including the Internet and our CENTERLINQ network. As we have done with CENTERLINQ, we leverage our strength in operations, marketing and the deployment of traditional and new media to advance new and innovative technologies within strategically identified market segments.
Historically, our operation has consisted of the marketing, advertising and sales of our own products and those of our clients utilizing traditional marketing channels. While we continue to utilize conventional media to fulfill our marketing needs and those of our clients, our focus more recently has been on investing in and bringing to market innovative technology-based concepts that center around use of emerging technologies, including the Internet.
We intend to continue to search for market segments in which we believe marketing and technology strategies can be applied to leverage growth and efficiency. As we identify these segments, we intend to develop, acquire or otherwise apply technologies or our marketing capabilities to achieve growth and increased market share.
We may do this through the acquisition of businesses, as we have done with CarRental Direct.com, Inc., through services agreements where we make our technologies and marketing available to third parties or for our own products, as we do with Men are From Mars, Woman are From Venus products, or through the development of new technologies to create new market opportunities, as we have done with CENTERLINQ.
CENTERLINQ is an integration of equipment and software that creates an attractive physical presence in retail malls, allowing for interactive advertising and retailing. CENTERLINQ is also accessible through the Internet at centerlinq.com. Advertising displayed on large screen monitors on and adjacent to the public access kiosks enhances network usage and revenues. We have invested heavily to support the operational needs of CENTERLINQ and to attain a leadership position as a network of public Internet portals.
At March 31, 2001, CENTERLINQ was deployed and operating in 32 shopping malls across the United States. Traffic at these malls could enable CENTERLINQ to create up to approximately 35 million impressions per month. We foresee CENTERLINQ network expansion in additional malls through North America, and are discussing expansion in Europe and Latin America.
Even though we are entering emerging markets and have begun to generate revenue from CENTERLINQ, we continue to rely on marketing production for a substantial part of our revenues. Proprietary products sold by us through integrated marketing capabilities including audio and video tapes and companion material productions based on the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, by John M. Gray, Ph.D., and other new products we have recently acquired. We expect that revenue from the marketing products will continue to account for a major percentage of our revenues in the foreseeable future but, while revenues are expected to rise, the overall percentage of revenues that can be attributed to the these marketing activities will decline as we make additional investments and acquisitions and generate additional growth from technology-related enterprises. |
