(OTCBB:CEML) directors recently reviewed and approved the first 5-Year Plan developed since the company was listed. The Plan identifies the following markets for the company, designed to produce revenues of $50 million within 48 months: CCTV monitoring, multi-channel DVRs, decoders, data storage and management units for local or remote server-feeds, real-time video transmission software for copper, PSTN, DDN/ISDN, and IP based networks, high-resolution videophone software for fixed-line or wireless phones and appliances. In addition the company will manufacture DVRs and videophones with its own embedded compression algorithms based on new CMOS chips. The company will continue its policy of alliances with world equipment brands, where it can be a national distributor and subsequently a full manufacturing partner, as well as launching its own products. Century Milestone plans to become itself a world brand by 2003 after developing a strong national sales coverage during 2001 and regional coverage during 2002. The company has started a program to further protect its know-how via international patents and copyrights. It is also participating in international committees to define video transmission and videophone standards. Century Milestone S & T Co. (Symbol: CEML) is an established young company with talented management in the growing Chinese market for large-scale closed-circuit TV installations (CCTV), particularly for security surveillance and remote industrial monitoring. The company handles the whole chain through site installation, image capture, compression, transmission, storage and retrieval. Its clients are government agencies and corporations. The company is a national leader in this field. The company draws its unique positioning from its world-class mathematicians who have developed most efficient compression algorithms. CEML's compression know-how has allowed it to become a developer of hard-disk based digital video recorders (DVR's) which will produce license revenue from electronics companies in the near future. The algorithms allow the software in the DVR's to store unprecedented amounts of data that can be manipulated by computer instead of the old tape-libraries. This compression and storage know-how is opening new markets for the company in pure data-storage and videophonics.
