Here's a new one. Just out today.
Sounds like another SHAL, ZSUN, CMOZ incubator type play modeled on the CMGI, SFE, and WCAP models.

*******************
Hyperion Technologies, Inc. offers investors the
opportunity to participate in at least two and possibly
three rapidly expanding market sectors. Hyperion operates
like a combination mutual fund and incubator. Its basic
business strategy is to acquire existing private companies
that have the following characteristics: (1)
state-of-the-art technologies that are already in the
market or require very little R&D investment before being
ready for market; (2) markets for the technologies being
acquired are rapidly expanding; (3) dramatic growth
potential is possible with improved marketing alone and (4)
synergy exists between the technologies of an acquisition
and with the technologies of at least one other company
being acquired by Hyperion. Upon completion of the current
round of acquisitions, Hyperion will become active in the
following market sectors:
1. The "Green Sector": Through the acquisitions of
franchises, licenses and trade secrets, Hyperion has
developed a subsidiary that is concentrating on the
development of "Micro Economic Systems (MES)." These
systems are based on the synergistic integration of "waste
to energy" technology with state of the art methods for
producing organic food and aquacultural products. A
typical MES will be able to yield two to five times more
products per acre than traditional methods. Also, each
system will be capable of employing one hundred twenty five
to one hundred fifty people in low tech agricultural jobs
on a year round basis. Importantly, the waste to energy
technology at the hub of the MES is capable of disposing of
dangerous and undesirable environmental pollutants such as
hospital wastes and PCB's in an environmentally safe
manner. A typical MES will cost about twenty-five million
dollars to develop and is expected to yield net pre tax
profits in the ten to twelve million dollar range,
depending on the product mix from a particular system. At
least two major investment banks have already expressed
interest in arranging financing for these systems.
2. The "Hard Technology Sector": Hyperion has entered into
agreements to acquire several companies in this market area
which have demonstrated technical superiority, outstanding
market potential, and significant technological synergy
with the technologies of the other two companies.
Sagebrush Technology, Inc. (Sagebrush) Sagebrush produces
state of the art motion control devices that are used in a
myriad of applications from surgical instruments to
aerospace. The explosive need for higher precision
pointing and tracking systems, wireless communication,
medical/surgical devices and the rapidly expanding
precision machine market has created an ever growing market
for Sagebrush products. For example, Sagebrush technology
is already being used in the cutting of over half the
computer chips made in America.
Willow Systems, Ltd. (Willow) Willow develops real time
motion control and electronic solutions for a broad range
of applications ranging from defense weaponry to wireless
communications. Willow specializes in translating motion
control requirements into low-cost, custom hardware
solutions. Significantly, Willow and Sagebrush have
already participated together as independent subcontractors
in the development of several devices for the defense
industry. Potential synergy has recently been demonstrated
when, on the basis of joint proposals submitted by
Sagebrush and Willow, contracts for significant prototypes
were awarded them by Northrop Grumman and Amphitech
International.
Laser Wireless, Inc. (Laser Wireless) Laser Wireless
specializes in the development of state of the art wireless
optical communication systems capable of transmitting
video, voice, telephone and data through the atmosphere on
a beam of light. The motion control and other technical
know-how of Sagebrush and Willow will enable Laser Wireless
to enter major new markets with significant competitive
advantages over potential competitors. It is anticipated
that the combination of the corporate capabilities of the
three will create products with the potential to capture
significant share in the rapidly expanding, multi-billion
dollar global wireless communication market.
NextWave Photonics, Inc. (NextWave) NextWave is the only
company in the Hard Technology Group which is still in the
R&D phase of development. Initially begun as a spin-off of
Willow, NextWave is engaged in the development of
technologies in two market sectors which are anticipated to
literally explode in the next decade: fiber optic switching
and MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). NextWave has
the corporate capability, through its own human resources
and strategic alliances with major research institutions
such as Sandia Labs, to become a significant player in
these respective multi-billion dollar markets. Its first
product, an optical switching device, will be ready for
market by the second quarter of 2000.
The client list for the companies listed in the "Hard
Technology Sector" is quite impressive and is indicative of
the state of the art products and services offered by
Sagebrush, Willow and Laser Wireless. Some of these
clients include: IBM, INTEL, LOCKHEED/MARTIN, BOEING,
ROCKETDYNE, DAIMLER BENZ AEROSPACE (GERMANY), AT&T, DELCO,
RAYTHEON E-SYSTEMS, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, MOTOROLA,
WHITE SANDS MISSLE RANGE, NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER,
ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL, US ARMY, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, US NAVY,
McDONELL DOUGLAS and the NAVAL WARFARE CENTER.
Both Sagebrush and Willow have doubled sales in the past
year without significant marketing efforts. Willow was in
fact ranked seventeenth in the New Mexico "Flying Forty"
list of fastest growing technology companies. Laser
Wireless is likewise poised to experience exponential
growth with the technological synergies made possible by
Sagebrush and Willow.
3. The Internet Sector. Hyperion is in the final stages
of negotiations with several companies engaged in Internet
related activities, both services and products. Each of
these companies has developed proprietary products that
have already entered the marketplace or are in a position
to do so in the next ninety days. Each of these companies
also shares another characteristic: each is in a position
to be quite profitable with only a small share of the
potential market. Hyperion expects to make several major
announcements concerning this Sector in the next sixty
days.
Hyperion has received significant support in the
formulation and implementation of the strategy described
her from International Profit Associates (IPA), which
provides management development, valuation, and
consultation services to over seventy thousand companies
worldwide. In 1998, IPA was ranked ninth in Inc.
Magazine's list of the fastest growing private companies in
America. IPA is assisting Hyperion in a range of
activities from evaluating potential acquisitions to
securing financing. IPA will also be actively involved in
developing the corporate infrastructure for Hyperion after
the acquisitions are complete.
Hyperion is hopefull to complete the acquisition of the
companies described above in the months to come. The
anticipated revenue from these acquisitions, combined with
the already in place MicroEconomic System Division, could
reach twenty million dollars during the first year of
combined operations. With the addition of the probable
acquisitions in the Internet Sector, these revenues could
be significantly higher.
