Here's part 2 of the 10 buckeroo report...sounds good to me!!!!
This is part 2 of the report out of Germany on NUKE:
>
>World Markets for Semiconductor Wafers & Substrate
>
>Semiconductor wafers and substrates form the basis of the $800 billion
>worldwide electronics industry. Semiconductors have given rise to a
>proliferation of new products for information-based economies. This key
>technological driver accounts for 30% of economic growth in the US
>alone.
>
>The semiconductor industry has a long-term growth rate of 17% and
>exceeded $150 billion in 1998. The recent semiconductor industry slump
>and the international financial crises that inspired it are showing
>signs of remission.
>
>Silicon will remain the dominant material for substrates and wafers for
>the foreseeable future with demand exceeding $7 billion in 1999. The
>push for ever greater performance at lower prices has brought new wafer
>technologies into the market including epitaxial wafers and
>silicon-on-insulator structures, both of which are extending into
>high-end niches and fostering new opportunities.
>
>The reclaimed wafer market is emerging as an important factor in silicon
>technology. The savings brought about by using reclaimed wafers is
>expanding opportunities for test wafers as replacements for more
>expensive prime wafers for certain applications. Reclaimed wafers now
>comprise 10% of the market.
>
>Beside silicon, other substrate and wafer materials are finding new
>applications and markets while fighting to keep their traditional
>markets. Gallium arsenide faces a strong challenge from silicon
>germanium for chips that can perform the same tasks at all but the
>highest frequency levels but at a much lower price.
>
>Compound semiconductors like indium phosphide are moving to new
>applications beyond photonics. Gallium nitride has undergone a
>successful demonstration as a blue laser generator. Silicon carbide is
>poised to take over large segments in high temperature and high power
>electonics.
>
>Other compound semiconductor material systems including II-IV materials
>like cadmium telluride and zinc selenide are experiencing steady growth
>in their niche applications with the promise of creating new markets for
>themselves in sensors and detectors. Germanium is experiencing growth
>due to its use in satellite solar cells. Sapphire as an insulator is
>serving as a substrate for gallium nitride and other materials and is
>experiencing growing demand.
>
>New markets and shifting demand will fuel the growth of semi-conductor
>wafers and substrates. The incredible growth in wireless and fiber optic
>communications, along with the advent of sub-$1000 PCs, cable boxes and
>satellite TV, and HDTV and DVD, will provide rapidly growing, long-term
>demand for semi-conductor wafers and substrates in their many
>manifestations.

>6. RhoStar.com: A New Online Distribution Channel
>
>A spin-off of Rhombic Corporation, RhoStar, is an online distribution
>channel offering product developers a self-selecting means to achieve
>faster market penetration. The customers become the distribution
>channel, and each party benefits. RhoStar will offer an innovative
>online distribution channel for software and information products. Their
>mission is to provide product developers and consumers with new and more
>powerful relationships. So RhoStar will offer a qualitatively distinct
>method for achieving rapid results. Initial products for this
>distribution channel will include the Rhombic Explorer:
>
>The Rhombic Explorer will make the life easier for millions of Internet
>users. The Explorer will also make thousands of organizations more
>efficient and productive. The Explorer provides a powerful tool for
>gathering information that will automate the painstaking and tedious
>process of manual web surfing. The Rhombic Explorer will accomplish this
>by giving consumers and organizations a new set of capabilities:
>
> a.. The Consumer Version is analogous to the personal computer, which
>shifted computing power from mainframes to the desktops of individual
>users. The Explorer places the information gathering power of Internet
>search engines in the personal computers of end users.
>
> a.. The Corporate Version is analogous to the minicomputer, which
>shifted computing power from mainframes to departmental computers. The
>Explorer places the information gathering power of Internet search
>engines in local area networks. It offers greater storage and retrieval
>capabilities and an advanced knowledge base at a higher price.
>

>
>MARKET BACKGROUND FOR THE RHOMBIC EXPLORER
>
>The Internet offers a vast market for goods and services, but only a
>handful of major software applications have emerged for the Internet
>user. The Net and the World Wide Web are a computing platform in which
>the world itself becomes the user's computer. This represents a
>fundamental change in direction. For decades, computers have evolved
>from large systems to smaller systems. The Internet breaks completely
>with this process, providing a common world computer without a definable
>size or fixed characteristics. It is unsurprising that software that
>exploits the Net's potential is slow to appear. The important
>revolutions in Internet software are still ahead of us. Internet
>software's major task to make this world computer useful.
>
>Whenever a new type of software automates a task that people perform
>manually, or gives them the power to do something that they could not do
>before, it creates a tremendous market. Past examples include
>spreadsheets, database software, word processing, and desktop
>publishing. In each case, the first company to develop and exploit the
>market prospered. The software industry is always looking for "The Next
>Big Thing".
>
>The Rhombic Explorer automates Web searching, the most commonplace and
>time wasting task performed on the Internet. This task has only been
>possible for a few years so the opportunity to automate it has only now
>emerged. The Rhombic Explorer integrates familiar design principles from
>other kinds of software, making it easy to use and to understand. It
>provides new powers and tremendous convenience and timesaving to every
>individual and every organization that uses the World Wide Web. It is a
>new type of software, with all the potential that that statement
>implies.
>
>Millions of individuals and knowledge workers spend more time surfing
>the Web than on any other Internet activity. 72% of Internet users surf
>the web at least once a day, 41% 6-10 hours a week. Searching the Web is
>fun, but it is also a slow, painstaking and inefficient manual process.
>The fun wears off, but the work remains. Studies of Internet usage by
>SunSoft and others reveal harried workers racing through web pages under
>deadlines, scanning rather than reading web copy, missing most of the
>available information for research tasks, and duplicating their own
>searches and those of their co-workers. The costs and waste are
>enormous.
>
>Individual users suffer the same frustration and inconvenience. Stymied
>by slow response times and frequent dropouts during peak usage hours,
>many North American users do their Web research in the small hours of
>the morning, when they should be sleeping, or after getting up very
>early. This leads to increased fatigue and stress, and a host of
>secondary health and productivity effects in the workplace.
>
>The Rhombic Explorer solves these problems neatly. It provides an easy,
>convenient way to automate manual work The benefits provided to
>individuals are multiplied when used by organizations. The Rhombic
>Explorer is a new class of software that creates a vast new market.
>Powerful cost/benefit justifications open up the corporate and
>government markets.
>
>CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
>
>Rhombic Corp. has a blend of financial, technical and administrative
>personnel needed to bring a development stage, technological oriented
>Company into commercial focus. Upon completion of the financing Rhombic
>will expand management in order to meet the manufacturing and marketing
>for the applications of it's ground breaking technologies:
>
> a.. Wm. Larry Owen, President: Received a Bachelor of Arts degree from
>Pepperdine University of California, and Masters of Education degree
>from the University of Southern California. After moving to Canada in
>1963, Mr. Owen was a founder of the New World Jade Company, and later
>President of International Phasor Telecom, a leading computer security
>firm during 1982 to 1985.
>
> a.. R.G. (Jako) Krushnisky, CEO and Director: Senior partner of
>International Laser Games, a coin operated firm with outlets throughout
>British Columbia. Mr. Krushnisky served as past President of Rockford
>Technology Corp. which owns diamond film technologies. Mr. Krushnisky is
>a graduate of the US International University at San Diego. with a

>EARNINGS PROJECTIONS
>
>The following projections estimated by Stockreporter according to
>company informations are based on conservatively projected revenues. So
>we consider these figures to be both very realistic and achievable:
>
>Net Earnings Projection:
>
>Year 2000: $10,000,000
>Year 2001: $50,000,000
>Year 2002: $120,000,000
>
>Earnings Projection per Share:
>
>Year 2000: $0.34
>Year 2001: $1.72
>Year 2002: $4.14
>
>EVALUATION AND OUTLOOK
>
>Following these projections and calculations we conservatively expect at
>least $0.34 earnings per share for the year 2000. Therefore we set our
>share price target to almost $10 at a conservatively estimated PER of
>only 30 which in case of this tremendous growth potential seems to be
>more than justified.
>
>On the whole it may be said that Rhombic Corporation (NUKE) possibly
>will be able to make even more profit in the year 2000 than we expect.
>Consequently we would like to mention in advance that Stockreporter.de
>might have to increase the profit expectations upon availability of new
>improved earnings projections based on potential new contracts.
>
>According to these facts we are strongly convinced that the share of
>Rhombic Corporation (NUKE) currently is drastically undervalued with a
>corporate market capitalization currently amounting to only $14,500,000.
>Therefore we believe that Rhombic Corporation (NUKE) is one of the most
>exciting companies to come to our attention in recent years. Its
>enormous growth potential is both dynamic and unlimited.
>
>Last but not least we would like to mention two additional and very
>important aspects: The management of the Company is currently evaluating
>the option of applying for a listing at a major stock exchange, e.g.
>NASDAQ or American Stock Exchange (AMEX). So in particular, this
>forthcoming listing of Wordcraft Systems with regard to the renowned
>NASDAQ or American Stock Exchange will massively inspire the share
>price. Therefore we believe especially this fact of taking the stock
>public to a major stock exchange will bring a massive thrust of both new
>retail and new institutional investors driving the share price into
>dimensions the stock really deserves.
>
>Furthermore Rhombic Corporation (NUKE) is going to apply for listing
>also at a major European stock exchange to increase the international
>exposure and to establish new investor relations in Europe. These two
>potential listings will open the door for new major institutional
>investments by e.g. national funds and investment bankers and will
>reduce the negative influence day traders currently have. For that
>reason potential investors have got only now the extremely unique and
>promising opportunity to invest in the shares of Rhombic Corporation
>(NUKE) on a more than advantageous share price level.
>
>According to these facts and the great opportunities the new major
>listings probably will offer we are strongly convinced that the NUKE
>share is drastically undervalued at a current price of $0.55 offering an
>amazing short and mid term potential. For this reason we believe that
>the NUKE share currently is one of the most exciting and most promising
>investment opportunities for both retail and institutional investors and
>that the NUKE share is going to be one of the best performing micro cap
>shares in the next weeks and months. |
