In 1997, the Company began a licensing agreement with Acorn Group, an
international leader in network computing and Internet/TV appliance technology,
to incorporate Acorn's technology into Boca Research-branded set-top and thin
client products. In 1998, the Company began a licensing agreement with Network
Computer, Inc. (NCI(TM)), a subsidiary of Oracle(R) Corporation and Netscape(R)
Communications Corporation. Under the terms of this agreement, NCI's Internet
access device software and technology will be used to enable a range of
information appliance devices designed and manufactured by Boca Research. NCI's
feature-rich, open Internet standards-based TV-Navigator(TM) will support the
BocaVision ST2001 that Boca Research will ship in 1999. In addition, the Company
has an alliance with Cyrix(R) Corporation, a subsidiary of National
Semiconductor(R) Corporation. The BocaVision ST2001 set-top box features a
high-speed Cyrix MediaGX processor that, together with NCI's software, has
enabled Boca Research to develop a cost-effective, high-powered information
appliance and simplified computing device.
