SNN Previously Maxis Corporation was relisted on ASX: August 2001 with issue of ordinary shares of 100,000,000 at 2c. currently there are 75 million shares in the company at 19c after 1:5 consolidation.

The new Executive team took over in December 2002 and has been in a turnaround reconstruction process since. The company expects to begin talking to brokers to seek to broaden its footprint in the marketplace around February next year.

MAXIS PROFILE
Maxis was incorporated in Western Australia in 1987 as Glacial Exploration NL, they changed to Quicksilver Resources NL in 1989 and Capital Energy NL in 1994, the same year it was listed on the ASX initially as a diamond explorer and diversified into oil and gas production in 1993 and gas exploration in 1994 and 1995.
The Company changed it's name to Maxis Corporation in January 2000.
They purchased 4 other companys in July 2000 two of which went into voluntary administration in 2001, resulting in the suspension of MXS for 18 months.
They have now completed the restructure (October 30 2003) and have no debt with strong cash flow.
RECENT FIGURES FROM SONNET.
On October 14 Sonnet announced EBITDA for the nine months to Sep 30 2003 had reached $2.63 million, well on track to meet the forecast provided in July for a calendar year EBITDA range between $2.5/3.5 million.

THE BUSINESS
1/ Managed Networks:
Managed Networks, the existing business, provides System Integration Services, design and implementation and project management.
Its Managed Services team provides remote monitoring, remote management and reporting services.
In January this year Maxis Corporation announced CSC renewed its major contract with the company's subsidiary Managed Networks. This extension will be for a further three years and the financial terms will be substantially the same as those applying in prior years. As this contract was the primary income source for the group, the board sees this renewal as providing a sound footing for business for the coming calendar year (although the new contract includes a clause that allows the client to terminate at any time with three months notice).
Maxis has a sub contract from service supplier CSC that provides and manages the services for a NSW Government Department.
Maxis built and now operates a NSW Government Department’s wide area network (WAN).
