Softlink Joins the Ranks of Netscape and Symantec in
TDK Bundle
With $6 Billion in Sales, a Major Electronic Communications Player
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In the first of a series of bundling agreements presently being negotiated
with major computer and peripheral manufacturers, Softlink Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SFLK - news) today announced that it
had reached agreement with modem manufacturer TDK to bundle its revolutionary Voicelink software with the new TDK 56k
modem. Softlink's revolutionary Voicelink software enables users to send voice messages in lieu of text-based e-mail. The
bundling deal is focused on the Japanese market, where Voicelink is the fifth-largest selling software product in its class and is
increasingly establishing a new standard for voice-based Internet communication.
TDK was the #1 modem manufacturer in Japan in 1997.
With $6 billion in sales, TDK is a major player in the electronic communications field. Its 56k modem sells for $230 MSRP and
runs on Windows 95/98/NT/CE. Along with Softlink's e-mail Voicelink, the modem will include: Symantec's Anywhere,
Netscape's Communicator 4.0 and Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Since Voicelink includes a built-in demo of Softlink's multi-media
package, Powerlink, follow-up sale onto Powerlink is anticipated from the initial distribution of Voicelink. The initial forecasts
for these sales suggest that over 5,000 units a month of the software-bundled modem will be sold.
Since all future TDK modems will include Softlink's Voicelink, the agreement reached today represents an important long-term
affirmation of Softlink's voice-enabled Internet communications technology. It is also an important milestone in the evolution of
Softlink from a development stage company to its growth stage. Softlink forecasts the following two years of sales at
$11,925,000 and $27,400,000 with gross profit of 88% and after-tax profit of 30%.
