<One of the only two companies to have made this list for 7 consecutive years> - wish the stock price reflected that. 5 years ago the stock price was ~$13. More revenues = lower stock price! LOS ANGELES, Sep 19, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- j2 Global Communications, Inc., a Hollywood-based firm providing enhanced messaging and communications services, topped the Deloitte & Touche "2001 Los Angeles Technology Fast 50," an annual program which ranks the region's 50 fastest growing technology companies according to five-year percentage growth in revenue. j2 Global posted an impressive 13,170% revenue growth rate over the past five years. More than half of this year's Fast 50 companies were repeat winners, and two companies have made the list for seven consecutive years. "With 34 of the Fast 50 firms being repeat winners, and nearly half of those making the list at least four times, it's obvious that this year's companies have the staying power to survive and thrive in today's challenging marketplace," noted Gary Dickey, partner, Los Angeles Technology & Communications Group, Deloitte & Touche. "Our two, seven-time winners are especially impressive, and have mastered the keys to ongoing success." Two companies that made the Fast 50 list for the past seven consecutive years are: Chatsworth-based MRV Communications, a communications/networking firm with a five-year revenue growth rate of 260%, and Watson Pharmaceuticals, a Corona-based biotechnology company with a five-year revenue growth rate of 318%. The second place winner on this year's list was Digital Insight Corp., an Internet banking services firm in Calabasas with a five-year revenue growth rate of 3,387%. Digital Insight was the top winner on last year's Fast 50 list. At number three this year, and a three-time Fast 50 winner, was Guidance, an Internet company based in Marina del Rey. Guidance's five-year revenue growth rate was 3,067%.
