Kinesix Marches Eastward and Upward

Kinesix Software experienced a fast-paced and successful first half of 2006, marked by geographic expansion into Asia, as well as major new contracts in its traditional market categories - especially aerospace.

Kinesix Is Out Of This World
Kinesix has always boasted a very strong client base in the aerospace industry, and 2006 has been an especially
exciting year in this arena.

Most notably, we worked with Bigelow Aerospace on the first full deployment of our new KX EDGE Development Suite.  Bigelow, which develops "inflatable" space stations for commercial use, used KX EDGE to create highly complex dynamic graphical displays for its mission control center in Las Vegas, where the company oversaw the July test-launch and deployment of its first Earth-orbiting module. The
module was rocketed into space in a compacted form, and once in orbit, deployed itself using inflatable technology. The launch was widely covered by the news media - including major news outlets like CNN, USA Today, etc.

Kinesix also continued to support space agencies and companies from around the world in their work, including new projects with European aerospace giants like EADS and Alenia Espazio - who will use our systems with the Columbus Space Station Module for the International Space Station. In addition, Russian Mission Control recently deployed our systems in crucial command-and-control roles.

Meanwhile, back in the States, NASA continues to use our Sammi application development suite at the Johnson Space Center - where it played an integral role in July's Space Shuttle mission.

Kinesix Goes East
Kinesix's momentum in East Asia continues at a rapid clip.
Our Sammi software will soon be deployed as part of the
command-and-control system for the new Metro Line 5 in
Beijing.

The Metro Line 5 is a new commuter-rail line that will go into service by the 2008 Summer Olympics. The 27.6-kilometer rail system will be the first North/South line to run through the center of the city, much of it underground. The line will run from Songjiazhuang Station in the South through Fentai District, Chongwen District, Dongcheng District, Chaoyang District and Changping District to Taipingzhuang in the North.

Also in China, our partnership with Shengzuo Software has begun to flourish. Kinesix and Shengzuo landed the first contract for our modified Sendera product, specifically tailored to the Chinese market.

Through the contract, China Power Investment Corporation will implement the new Sendera system, which allows users to view dynamic "streaming data" graphics over the Internet via any Java-enabled Web browser. China Power Investment Corporation, established from the constituent businesses of the former State Power Corporation of China, manages nearly 28,000 megawatts of power within the Chinese market.

The company will use Sendera to manage the data collection, transmission and display needs of its HeNan affiliate - which has 10 power plants, and more than 10,000 data points that it must monitor. Sendera's Web capabilities will allow the company to monitor and control this safetycritical data in real time, via the Internet.
