I.I.S. INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS LIMITED Date: March 25, 2002 By: /s/ David Warburg --------------------------------------------- David Warburg Attorney-in-Fact for Robi Hartman, Chief Executive Officer EXHIBIT 1 I.I.S. INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2001 FINANCIAL RESULTS RAMAT GAN, Israel, March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- I.I.S. Intelligent Information Systems Ltd., (Nasdaq: IISL - NEWS) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2001. Revenue for the fourth quarter was US$87,000. The loss for the quarter was US$1,890,000 or (US$0.19) per share. For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenues were US$334,000, and the loss for the year was US$3,481,000 or (US$0.37) per share. These results reflect the Company's continued recognition on the equity method of losses of StoreAge Networking Technologies Ltd. ("StoreAge"), amounting to $877,000 this year. StoreAge is a 39%-held affiliate (formerly a subsidiary) of IIS. Investments in StoreAge through 2001 included the provision of financial support during its developmental stage, as well as the establishment of a US marketing and sales operation. The recorded losses also reflect the Company's investment internally in storage over IP software development - still in its nascent stages - through its dedicated R&D team. About 42.8% of the losses for the year (US$1,491,000) reflect financial expenses (a non-cash-expense), related to a negotiated conversion by certain holders, of $2,427,000 of the Company's convertible secured debentures, accompanied by the cancellation of the warrants issued to such investors, into 1,797,464 ordinary shares. With the completion of this transaction in the fourth quarter, IIS meets the shareholders' equity criteria for maintaining continued listing on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. StoreAge continues to capitalize on its recognized storage virtualization leadership. During the year, the company's flagship product, the SVM(TM) Storage Virtualization Manager was installed in many enterprise environments with extremely high levels of customer satisfaction. Going forward, StoreAge plans to leverage its initial success through a combination of intensive OEM activity and a channel program, in the US and selected areas worldwide. StoreAge Networking Technologies (www.store-age.com) is a leading developer and provider of innovative storage management solutions in a heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN) enterprise environment. StoreAge is dedicated to providing cost effective hardware and software products that meet the scalability, performance and data availability requirements of the enterprise. StoreAge products enable enterprises to effectively manage the dramatic growth in storage capacity while significantly decreasing the total cost of ownership of their storage systems. StoreAge has developed an innovative asymmetric (off the data path) storage virtualization technology. Its SVM(TM) (Storage Virtualization Manager) serves as the key building block for creating highly effective SAN management solutions. The SVM provides for the virtualization of the entire SAN space enabling enterprises utilizing SAN architecture to efficiently manage and allocate their storage resources. It provides a central point of storage management for highly scalable SANs, maintaining the full fabric data transfer bandwidth. The SVM enables an easy migration from traditional SANs to fully virtualized environment with the resulting TCO benefits. The SVM platform supports a variety of Storage Applications which further enhance the effectiveness of the solution and are key enablers for meeting such user needs as zero-time, server free and LAN free backup, implementation of disaster recovery strategies and the like. During 2001, StoreAge signed a multi-year OEM agreement for its virtualization products with one of the world's leading suppliers of computing equipment and services. This agreement is expected to yield a noticeable increase in revenues in the coming year. StoreAge has also signed several other OEM agreements, and is involved in many large deals through its network of channel partners worldwide. By the end of the fourth quarter, StoreAge had intensified its US operations and upgraded its US sales activity, building a strong sales team headed by President Mark Spowart. The company also strengthened its marketing activities, participated in several major industry events, including trade shows and technical forums and became a recognized member of several trade organizations. In addition, StoreAge has expanded its sales activity in Europe and began to explore opportunities in the Far East. "StoreAge envisioned the arrival of real large scale SANs and its architecture is proven to be the only virtualization platform that enables management of such high end implementations" said Robi Hartman, Chairman and CEO of IIS. "The market adoption of large SANs grows rapidly although it is slower than initially expected. We realize that StoreAge's management architecture gains credit as SANs mature to become large enterprises' de-facto infrastructure for data storage. We believe in StoreAge's technology architecture and in its ability to deliver real solutions to the market. I personally stand behind these statements by having purchased no less than 539,700 of IIS' ordinary shares in the open market during the last 12 months." Mr. Hartman concluded. The dedicated R&D group within IIS continues to develop storage networking applications for the enterprise market with a focus on Internet SCSI ("iSCSI") technology. The group has developed unique expertise in iSCSI, a promising storage networking protocol currently emerging as a leading communication protocol for the future for middle and low-end SANs. IIS' iSWAT(TM) and iTarget(TM) products were tested for interoperability in three recent Plug Fest events as well as in several private initiatives. About IIS I.I.S. Intelligent Information Systems Ltd. (IIS) is focused on R&D investments and operations within the technology sector of Storage Networking. The Company develops and markets iSWAT(TM) (http://www.swattest.com), an innovative line of software applications for iSCSI protocol analysis, error injection and iSCSI conformance; and iTarget(TM) iSCSI technology architecture and implementation solutions. The Company also owns a 39% interest in StoreAge Networking Technologies, Ltd (http://www.store-age.com), a leader in Storage Virtualization technology. The Company seeks to increase its cooperation with OEM partners and storage device vendors to deliver advanced I storage solutions to the enterprise market.
