SIGMA 101:
Current clients and associates include: Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Panasonic, Phillips, NCR, Diebold, Hughes, Cisco, US
West, IBM, Dell, Silicon Graphics.
On the Kit side there's Sony, Panasonic, Phillips, and Hi-vale( one of C-Cubes top customers one short year ago)and
future stars like STBI.(?)
Two of the largest drive manufacturers in the world Sony, and Toshiba have released their latest DVD-ROM drives.
Sonys the fastest at 5x, and Toshiba not far behind with a 4.8x. Both companies using Sigma Designs.
ATM business with Diebold, NCR, and EDS will grow exponentially with installations occuring in banks, malls, stop
and shops, and gas stations to name a few areas.
Current business with Wall Mart, (if your not aware do some work)has proven very successful, and the company has
targeted Best Buy, Wallgreens, Home Depot, Circuit City, and Good Guys outlets.
Distance Learning has been tremendous and is the future of education in the world. The term choice will have a new
meaning to future generations. The Distance Learning is being used by corporations, governments, and Schools around
the country to train employees and students around the world from a central source or location.
Current Institutions taking advantage of this technology, the National Guard, the Army, the Airforce, Auburn University,
the Harvard Business School, the Illinois, Ohio State, and Michigan school districts, Autozone, United Airlines, Ford,
Lexus, Florida Power and Light, and AAA.
The company has targeted, the Dept. of Defense, Fort Berey, the State of Arkansas, GM, the Marriot, the General
Nutrition Stores, the Mayo clinic, and all the Ivy League schools.
Current business with the Sheraton could explode throughout the entertainment and traveling industry in set-top boxes
being installed by microsoft, 3com, tandem, compaq, asia connect, and SIGMA DESIGNS.
Basically the system allows spreadsheets, presentations, documents, surfing the web, ordering room service on-line,
checking stock quotes, ordering your favorite newspapers for the following morning, playing video games, orde iring
movies with pause features for businesstravellers, receive private and secure e-mail, faxes, and voicemails.
On December 1, 1997 the system was implemented in Sydney, Australia as a pilot program and has been rolled out
into the Asia-Pacific region in February 1998, as well as Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. In late
98' to 99' it will be implemented in the Ceasars Palace properties around the world.
The company has targeted Royal Carribean Cruise Lines, Hong Kong Telecom, and British Telecom.
Sigmas chip in every box to decode the video.
Now the Real deal on the market,the market makers, and the product that catches the eye of the analysts and tech
gurus world wide.
The market if you haven't guessed is DVD, DVD HARDWARE.
Microsoft will be putting out their PC99 specifications on all DVD-ROM. Those that do not comply will not be allowed
to use the Gorrillas LOGO on their computer systems, because MSFT believes their name stands for compatibility.
The biggest difference for Tier I manufacturers (DELL,IBM,COMPAQ,GTW) is 50 dollars. Software can cost up to 5
dollars while hardware costs 50. By mid third quarter Sigma will have that price down to the twenties with some help
from INTEL, and in the 4th quarter that number will be in the single digits, which should then be a standard feature in
build-to-order computer models (BTO). Sigma and Microsoft have been working together almost daily for the past
year, and their NETSHOW THEATER SERVER for the corporate intranet will be the future and the next level of
interaction for business's. Look into Microsofts history with those companies that have helped them move forward in
video-streaming with computers and the net.
Then theirs the Internet II, Berkely Labs,Livermore Labs, Silicon Graphics (using Sigmas decoders) will have a trial run
on Aug. 10, 1998, and should be completely implemented by 1st quarter 99', through Fiber-optic lines. The first
implementations has been Educational facilities and government facilities. Its the skeleton, the fingers of big brother,
which shall merge it with the current Internet.
Institutions: TCW, DAWSON SANDBERG,ASIAN GROUP TAKING APPROX 18% OF COMPANY IN
PRIVATE PLACEMENT DEAL, POSSIBLE KUWAIT INTEREST (10%), These are the institutions, then their are
the street players and their numbers on rumors go from 15-25% of the companies stock.
Read the charts, the stock is being accumulated. There is a possibility of reaching 50% institutional ownership in the next
60 days. Current Institutional Holdings are approx. 20%. An 18% private placement being cleaned up, plus new
players, bigger, faster, and stronger. Time to Rock'n Roll gentleman. Forcast 10-50 depending on marketing skills, and
Institutional Holdings Increasing.
If there's one name you shouldn't forget it's the 800-Pound Gorrilla.
A CEO worth 55 Bilion, a man that is forcing technology to change every 3-6 months with his investments. Hasn't made
one yet where it will count for 50 points. We'll see?
Good luck to all,
1. 10 announcements next 75 days
2. Possibility of buy rec. by VOLPE?
