Pacific Internet Wins Again at Australia's Peak Awards for Customer Service
SINGAPORE, June 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pacific Internet (Nachrichten) Limited , the largest telco-independent Internet communications service provider by geographic reach in the Asia Pacific region, today announced that its Australian subsidiary has won the prestigious Australian Service Excellence Award in the category of 'National Medium Business' for the second year running. The award is Australia's highest recognition for customer service presented by the Customer Service Institute of Australia (CSIA), the peak customer service organization in the country.
Pacific Internet's win at the national level follows its triumph at the Victoria state last month. Only state-winning companies qualify for the national awards.
Bruce Pyke, Pacific Internet Australia's customer operations director, said, 'By this consecutive win, Pacific Internet has once again demonstrated our quest to provide more than just Internet services. Our value proposition has always been centered around our ability to provide more value to our customers beyond technology and product. These service excellence awards further differentiate our offering and reaffirm our commitment to premium levels of customer service in all areas of our organization.'
Bruce Pyke himself was also awarded the National and Victorian winner in the category of 'Customer Service Manager of the Year' at the awards.
CSIA executive director, Brett Whitford said, 'With customer expectations continually rising, the wider business community is becoming increasingly aware of the value and role that customer service plays in achieving business success.'
'Pacific Internet is a leader in customer service and is a very worthy winner of these awards. The company's achievements in service excellence have shown a true commitment to putting the customer first in today's competitive business climate,' said Whitford.
The criteria for the Australian Service Excellence Awards are based on the International Customer Service Standard (ICSS), a global benchmark for service excellence. In 2003, Pacific Internet Australia was the first Internet communications service provider to achieve this accreditation.
CSIA's state and national Australian Service Excellence Awards showcase organizations across Australia that achieved excellence in service. The state judging process involved a written submission, a site visit, a presentation to a panel of judges and mystery shopping. State winners then qualified for the national awards and were judged by CSIA's national judging committee.

Pacific Internet and Sun Microsystems Collaborate To Offer Game Companies Accelerated Market Access in Asia
Games MAP Initiative Provides One-Stop-Shop for Hosting, Distribution, e-Marketing and Billing Services
SINGAPORE, June 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pacific Internet (Nachrichten) Limited and Sun Microsystems (Nachrichten), today announced a collaboration to bring a groundbreaking market access acceleration program to international games content owners. The program, titled Games Market Access Program, or Games MAP, is scheduled to launch in July 2005.
Games MAP is the first market access acceleration program for games companies with commercially ready-to-deploy digital content for Asian-based gamers. It leverages the unique capabilities of both Pacific Internet and Sun Microsystems and has the support of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA).
'Today, on top of worrying about competition, game companies have to make decisions on which platforms to run their games, which network providers to use for distribution, how to e-market and bill accurately. There isn't a one-stop-shop service to meet their requirements," said Mr. Tan Tong Hai, President & CEO, Pacific Internet Limited.
The Games MAP initiative was designed specifically to provide one-stop-shop service for game companies. It leverages a robust and scalable platform based on Sun Microsystems' Sun Fire servers and Pacific Internet's regional content distribution network, hosting and billing capabilities. In addition, the program taps on Pacific Internet's existing game community to e-market their games. This way, game companies will be able to focus on their core gaming competencies and accelerate their time-to-market in Asian markets.
With an option of dual-core or single-core AMD Opteron CPUs, Sun Microsystem's Sun Fire servers provide x64 ability with exceptional power and speed with easy scalability. This allows game developers and publishers the ability to effortlessly match the system to their requirements, enabling smooth game play over massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) networks. Sun Fire servers powered by AMD Opteron processors also supports 64-bit and 32-bit applications, and multiple operating systems, offering unprecedented investment protection.
'With Java technology, game developers can now bring their new and innovative online games to market much faster, easier and more cost effectively while still being able to scale infrastructure to meet their needs,' said Mr. Wong Heng Chew, Managing Director, Sun Microsystems, Singapore. 'Sun's expertise in building secure, scalable and robust connected infrastructures and our Java technologies together with Pacific Internet's network reach and customer support would enable game developers and publishers to easily and effectively bring their offerings to the Asian market.'
'IDA supports the collaboration between Pacific Internet and Sun Microsystems in the launch of the Games Market Access Program or Games MAP. Singapore is now equipped to offer game developers and publishers a one-stop deployment solution to access key markets in South East Asia. Games MAP will offer them a full suite of services aimed at providing game companies faster access to market and scalability with cross platform capabilities,' said Mr. Khoong Hock Yun, Assistant Chief Executive, Industry, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore. 'The fostering of this collaboration reinforces IDA's Digital Exchange initiative in the processing, management and distribution of digital assets through Singapore to Asia,' he added.

Pacific Internet was selected by Fantastic Furniture because of its substantial retail experience and ability to deliver a solution and post-implementation service.

Their detailed project implementation process ensured all stores were connected without hassles, and on time," said Peter Vernon, IT Manager, Fantastic Furniture.
"With our new broadband private network that connects 46 stores in different states across Australia, we can now supply remote IT support and also access stores' stock and accounting systems from head office in Chester Hill, Sydney. We also plan to introduce a centralized email system and an intranet for increased store and head office productivity.”

Revenues
Revenue in the second quarter increased 3.4% to US$25.2 million quarter-on-quarter. It was level compared to the same quarter last year.
The Group continued to register growth as it shifts its focus towards the corporate business segment. Corporate business registered revenue of US$16.4 million, a 7.0% improvement quarter-on-quarter and 10.4% growth year-on-year. The Group is targeting for the higher-margin corporate business to outpace lowering contributions from the volume-based consumer segment.
From a product line perspective, broadband revenue grew 6.0% year-on-year to US$12.5 million. The increase was driven by the corporate broadband business which grew 17.5% year-on-year and contributed 68.9% of total broadband revenue. Corporate broadband growth was primarily from the small-and-medium sized business (SMBs) segment. SMBs are using more corporate broadband services in view of higher bandwidth and competitive pricing compared to other corporate connectivity offerings such as lower-end leased lines.
Along with the migration trend from lower-end leased line to corporate broadband, general pricing for leased lines have become more competitive. Leased lines revenue in the second quarter grew 2.7% to US$3.2 million year-on-year.
Value Added Services (VAS) sales continued to strengthen in the second quarter, posting a 14.8% growth year-on-year. In line with the focus in the corporate business segment, 86.8% of total VAS revenue was from corporate businesses. Corporate VAS grew by 19.5% year-on-year.

Second quarter net income was US$1.6 million (or 12 cents per diluted share). This was an 8.1% growth year-on-year and a 48.5% growth quarter-on-quarter.
The higher net income was mainly due to stronger corporate business growth and lower operating expenses.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Gross margin was maintained at over 54% as the Group continues to effectively manage its telecommunications cost of sales.
There was no change in staff costs. Sales and marketing expenses were lower by 13.6%, which is in line with the Group’s corporate business-skewed customer mix. Other general-and-administrative expenses increased by 5.6% year-on-year primarily due to consultancy fees relating to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and business development.
Cash Flow and Cash Balance
In the second quarter, the Group recorded a net cash deficit of about US$0.6 million. Although the Group generated cash of US$1.6 million from operating activities for the quarter, US$2.2 million was used on investing activities, mainly on acquisition of the wireless spectrum license in Singapore and fixed assets. Another US$0.1 million was used in financing activities primarily for repayment of capital leases in this quarter. As of June 30, 2005, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of US$36.7 million compared to US$31.3 million a year ago.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pacific Internet Limited (Nasdaq: PCNTF - News), Asia Pacific's largest telco-independent Internet Communications Service Provider by geographic reach, today announced that its fully-owned Australian subsidiary, Pacific Internet (Australia), has inked an agreement with Cisco Systems® to offer Australia's first managed, end-to-end IP connectivity and security service for small-and-medium businesses (SMBs).

Pacific Internet (Australia) managing director Dennis Muscat said, ''This solution gives Australian businesses the power to take their networks to the next level, where security is increased and productivity is improved.
''PacNet SecureSite solution is based on the Cisco integrated services router, and was designed to remove prohibitive setup costs which have prevented the take-up of high-quality networks in the past. The monthly fee features entry level pricing from $220 per site which includes access, Cisco hardware, support and monitoring.
''Strategically, this level of service is where Pacific Internet has been aiming for the past few years. We believe our 20,000 SMB customers will find PacNet SecureSite an attractive offering. Ultimately, it is managed services that deliver efficiencies that will ensure their business success in the future,'' he said.
Cisco® Australia and New Zealand managing director Ross Fowler said, ''Pacific Internet is the first ISP we've teamed up with to deliver a fully managed security and connectivity bundle at this price point. We're excited about the impact this solution will make in the SMB space, which has been an area of focus for Cisco Australia for some time now. The outstanding benefit of this solution and the reason we believe it will be so successful is that previously, this level of service was only available to enterprises.''
Said Muscat, ''The Cisco-based PacNet Secure Site allows SMBs to deploy a complete and simple package delivering network security, future proofing and business grade connectivity. The integrated services router-based solution also gives Pacific Internet customers the flexibility to grow their network, enabling them to roll out services such as VoIP and highly secure wireless access.''
Pacific Internet will offer Cisco 800 and 1800 series integrated services routers as customer premise devices, providing a range of security services which reduce the amount of work and maintenance customers have to perform. The integrated services router security services include enterprise grade stateful inspection firewalling and an inline intrusion protection system with dynamic signature updates to help ensure that customer networks are protected from the latest known malicious attacks.
PacNet SecureSite will constantly monitor and manage customer's networks. For setup and ongoing network management, customers receive pre-configured Cisco integrated services routers and can contact the Pacific Internet's technical team to change their router configurations. In the event of a network outage or security breach, the solution's round-the-clock monitoring means that clients can be notified via e-mail and SMS. Furthermore, with built-in failover customers can be automatically cut over to a dial-up connection, reducing network downtime. Additionally, by deploying PacNet SecureSite, businesses will benefit from Pacific Internet's ongoing updates and reviews of security measures.
Pacific Internet undertook six months of intensive trials and testing to develop this solution for its business customer base.
The two companies have built a strong relationship over the past two years. Pacific Internet supplies Cisco with a teleworking solution that connects 125 of Cisco employees on high-speed and high-data Pacific Internet broadband plans. Moreover, Pacific Internet is one of the few ISPs that is certified under the Cisco Partner Program, with several employees who are Cisco certified.

Current Vector Vest Rating:
Business: PACIFIC INTERNET LTD, (PCNTF) provides Internet access as well as Web hosting, Web design and consultancy for both consumers and corporate users, mainly in the Asia Pacific market. The company also offers e-mail paging and other value-added services.
Price: PCNTF closed on 8/12/2005 at $6.12 per share
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. PCNTF has a current Value of $10.17 per share. Therefore, it is undervalued compared to its Price of $6.12 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.
RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. PCNTF has an RV of 1.40, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
