Investorideas.com Newswire - Investors are Watching Nyxio Technologies (OTCBB: NYXO) Smart TV

POINT ROBERTS, Aug. 16, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, issues a trading alert and investor spotlight on consumer electronics stock, Nyxio Technologies Corporation (OTC.BB: NYXO).

Investors are watching this small OTC player in the race for Smart TV/ Connected TV market share and ask; “Could NYXO give Sony (NYSE: SNE ) or Samsung (KSE)005930 (common stock) a run for their money on Smart TV technologies?”

Investor Highlights: Nyxio Technologies Corporation (OTC.BB: NYXO)

The "Smart TV"
A Smart TV device is either a television set with integrated internet capabilities or a set-top box for television that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic television set.

Benefits
Smart TV devices enable consumers to view all of these advanced services on their flat screen TV, via a single device. In addition to a broader range of content from TV providers – ranging from traditional broadcast TV, video on-demand and catch-up TV services, Smart TV also provides consumers with access to user-generated content (either stored on an external hard drive, or cloud storage, and to a range of advanced interactive services and Internet applications, such as YouTube.)

Technology
While the concept of Smart TVs is still in its incipient stages, with up and coming software frameworks such as the proprietary Google TV and the open source XBMC platforms getting a lot of public attention in the news media within the consumer electronics market area, and commercial offerings from companies such as Logitech, Sony, LG, Samsung and Intel have indicated products in the area that will give television users search capabilities, ability to run apps (sometimes available via an 'app store' digital distribution platform), interactive on-demand media, personalized communications, and social networking features. Nyxio has been at the forefront of this technology for the past 3 years already

Cutting-edge Products:

Nyxio Technologies is committed to developing a wide range of next generation products and complementary accessories, including tablet PCs, smart TVs, all-in-one PCs and mobile media viewers.

The VioSphere: Nyxio's flagship product, the VioSphere Smart TV is the world's only integrated flat-screen TV and PC.

The company recently reported it had launched the VioSphere Smart TV, the first -- and only -- fully integrated television with a built-in personal computer on the market today. Designed as a full-spectrum entertainment system, the touch-screen TV combines HDTV technology with a personal computer and media center. The latest product from Nyxio, the VioSphere Smart TV, saves time, money, space and energy. http://www.nyxiotechnologies.com/products/the-viosphere

(OTCBB: ECDC) RFID Technology Provides Monitoring and Security for Oil Tankers and Pipelines

East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCBB: ECDC) RFID technology and its applications for the oil and gas industry.

According to the company, “Oil and other natural gases are generally subject to theft and manipulation. Both have significant impact on the global economy. We provide the most cost effective application for monitoring and securing oil and gas whether in transit on a tanker or pipeline or at fixed locations.

With wireless communication between GPS and RFID, we turn raw event data into actionable information that allows proactive responses to asset manipulation or theft.

With a combination of several products in our portfolio we create solutions that secure oil and gas in transit or traveling in a pipeline. A combination of our LogiBoxx and RFSeal will secure oil tankers and their contents and a combination of our LogiBoxx and AID sensor tags can secure tens of thousands of oil and gas pipelines. Our proprietary GATIS software provides a web based application for live monitoring of all assets in the supply chain.”

The American Petroleum Industry (www.API.org ) reports, “The U.S. oil and natural gas industry has long operated globally, often in unstable regions overseas where security is an integral part of providing for the world’s energy needs.  After September 11th, 2001, the industry partnered with federal and local authorities to reevaluate and strengthen our domestic security.

Companies adapted their overseas security experience to domestic installations.Nationwide, oil and gas companies made major investments in construction, training and communications all the way from wellheads and offshore platforms to tankers, ports, pipelines, refineries, storage tanks, and most importantly, employees and their communities.

The partnership forged between the oil and natural gas industry and government at all levels is now working to protect hundreds of facilities across the country from the potential of terrorist attacks.”

  • Gross profit for the second quarter 2011 was US$10.2 million, an increase of 24% compared to the second quarter 2010.

  • Net income margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 15.4%, compared to 15.7% for the second quarter of 2010.
Recent Business Highlights
  • On June 8, 2011, the Company announced that it signed a Letter of Intent with EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. ("EarthSearch"), a subsidiary of East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTC.BB:ECDC) as the basis for further discussion regarding the terms and conditions that may apply in a formal agreement to be executed between both parties in the future.

  • On June 20, 2011, the Company announced that it filed a patent application with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) to ensure intellectual property protection for its Assisted GPS technology.

Without requiring any additional hardware, ZST Digital's A-GPS system can make use of the GSM modules and location based service (LBS) capabilities of customers' existing mobile phone equipment, in conjunction with additional software, to introduce LBS capabilities to the GPS system, forming a dual-positioning mode.
  • On July 12, 2011, the Company reported that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Zhong Bo was named a "Zhengzhou City Outstanding Entrepreneur" in a ceremony held by the Zhengzhou Association of Enterprises and the Zhengzhou Entrepreneurs Association.
Mr. ZhongBo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZST, commented, "We delivered another quarter of healthy top- and bottom-line growth supported by strong sales of our commercial GPS fleet management products and services and continued expansion of our cable TV related businesses. Sales revenue from our IPTV, cable TV network equipment and commercial GPS fleet management tracking segments accounted for approximately 39%, 32% and 29% of total revenues, respectively. We continue to benefit from government regulations which are spurring demand within our end markets, especially for commercial GPS fleet management products and services. We expect these positive trends to continue to support the growth of our commercial GPS-related business segment in the second half of the year, and we remain confident in our ability to reach our full year guidance. As we enter the second half, we will continue to focus on delivering profitable growth, maintaining the highest standards of transparency and disclosure and increasing shareholder value."
Mr. Henry Ngan, Chief Financial Officer of ZST, commented, "We delivered a strong financial performance in the second quarter with year-over-year revenue increases across all three of our product segments. We believe that the underlying demand for our products and services remains healthy, and we are especially pleased with the rapid growth of our commercial GPS segment. While gross profit margin declined slightly in the quarter due to the change in sales mix of our IPTV products, we nevertheless maintained a healthy profit margin level thanks to the high-margin profile of our commercial GPS products and services. We further strengthened our balance sheet in the second quarter, and we believe that we are well-positioned to fund our continued growth. We enter the second half of the year on a strong footing and maintain our commitment to increasing long-term shareholder value."
Second Quarter 2011 (unaudited) Financial Highlights
Revenue
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was US$41.4 million, representing an increase of 25% from US$33.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The primary reason for the increase in revenue during the quarter was strong growth in the commercial GPS-related business line. Revenue from sales of GPS devices and related service amounted to $12.1 million, representing an increase of 102% year-over-year, supported by the growing market demand for commercial GPS fleet management systems in response to government regulations requiring the registration of certain types of commercial vehicles on GPS platforms for government monitoring purposes. For the second quarter, the cable TV-related business and the commercial GPS-related business accounted for approximately 71% and 29% of total revenue, respectively, compared to 82% and 18% for the comparable period in 2010.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 was US$10.2 million, representing a 24% year-over-year increase. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 24.7%, essentially flat compared to25% in the second quarter of 2010.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were US$1.4 million, representing an increase of 39% from US$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.This increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of the higher volume of business activities generated.
Selling expenses for the second quarter 2011 were US$203,000, an increase of 86% from US$109,000 for the second quarter of 2010. Selling expenses comprise mainly salaries, shipping costs, and after-sale service expenses. Since our suppliers cover most of the shipping costs, we have not incurred high selling expense relative to our substantial increase in revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expenses accounted for 0.5% and 0.3% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and development expenses (R&D) for the second quarter 2011 were US$167,000, an increase of 76% compared to US$95,000 for the second quarter of 2010. The increase resulted from the continued focus on the commercial GPS tracking business as we continued to expand the overall scope of the segment. As a percentage to total revenue, R&D expense accounted for 0.4% and 0.3% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
General and administrative expenses (G&A) for the second quarter 2011 were US$1.1 million, up 28% from US$0.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. The rise in G&A expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in salary expenses and stock-based compensation. As a percentage to total revenue, G&A expenses accounted for 2.6% and 2.5% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was US$8.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 representing an increase of 22% compared to operating income of US$7.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Income Tax
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2011 was US$2.5 million, compared to approximately US$2.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was mainly due to an increase in taxable income.
Net Income and EPS
Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was US$6.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 22% from US$5.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net margin was 15.4% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to15.7% in the second quarter of 2010.
Diluted net income per share was US$0.55 in the second quarter 2011, compared to US$0.45 for the second quarter of 2010, based on weighted-average common shares outstanding of 11,613,730 and 11,650,442, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents totaled to US$50.2 million as of June 30, 2011, compared to US$40.2 million as of March 31, 2011, primarily attributable to cash generated from operations.
As of June 30, 2011, total accounts receivables were US$27.8 million, an increase of 31% from US$21.3million as of March 31, 2011, primarily due to a higher volume of business generated.
Full Year 2011 Outlook - For the full year 2011, the Company reiterates its estimates that revenues will range between US$160 million and US$175 million, and net income will range between US$28 million and US$30 million.
