MERLIN Software Technologies International's CEO, Robert Heller, Talks to The Wall Street Transcript

The entire 3,500-word interview is available free online at www.twst.com/ceos.htm.

Heller gives an overview of the company. "MERLIN is a Linux Tools and Applications software developer and publisher. The company was incorporated last year to consolidate the Linux and Unix technology, developed over 20 years, in two privately held corporations that had each been successful within their own fields."

Heller explained: "We are building the company on a number of fronts. Over the summer we expanded our engineering department significantly to support our in-house development on PerfectBACKUP+ and Communicado FAX.

"This fall, we have concentrated on developing our marketing and sales and announced our Pure Magic partner program. We closed a $2 million financing in August of this year that provides funding for the next stage of the company's development."

Looking forward, Heller stated: "As we move on through 2001 and 2002 we will be seeking to acquire third-party products. Of course we will continue to develop PerfectBACKUP+ and Communicado FAX and will be making major announcements beginning in the first quarter of 2001 of new versions and additional platform support.

"We are planning on at least one new product addition before the end of the second quarter and a possible product acquisition by the end of the third. The fourth quarter of 2001 should reflect the success we expect to see throughout the year in much improved revenues."
