TMMI closed at .03 ***** By: hrnbetch Reply To: 5092 by GERNBLANSTEN Thursday, 19 Aug 1999 at 10:46 AM EDT Post # of 5095 A RAGS TO RICHES STORY? - 10+ REASONS TO BUY Digest of one Investors Notes on Great Posts by Simple Dave, Bruce Hoyt, McCrory, Timmy, Software, bNb, Arnie Doolittle and other long term investors regarding TMM,Inc. on the Raging Bull Board. (1) CAPITOLIZATION: 100M Shares Authorized,Shares Issued, and Float undetermined but 50% Plus. Insufficient funds to reopen operations on any substantial scale without buyout, merger, or strategic alliances. CEO trying to find the best course of action. Minimal liabilities estimated at less than $5M. (2) TAKEOVER CANDIDATE: Not a viable company in its own right without large capitol injection but do have assets that go far beyond the June 28, 1999 Share Price of $.025 Stock Price. But has assets including Fractal Compression Technology that would appear to be able to add significant value to another company attempting to capture the market lead in Streaming Media and Compression Technology. (3) ASSET #1: INCOME TAX CARRYOVER WRITEOFF: $15M tax loss carryforward that TMMI not in position to use but would have value to another company. (4) ASSET #2: UNPAID DEBT: TMMI has won but needs to collect on a $4M lawsuit (up to $10M with penalties). $10M Court Judgement (including penalties) against Randy Jackson & Katharine Jackson (brother & mother of Michael Jackson); Jackson was an initial investor in TMMI and the legal award involves some of Randy Jackson's stock holdings. (5) ASSET #3: SHELL VALUE OF STOCK: Probably worth some money to another corporation which wants to go Public quickly, cheaply, and efficiently. TMMI being a public company, has value to any other company wanting to go public. Possible Shell Value $250k-$750k to another company. (6) THIS IS THE BIG ASSET!!!! ASSET #4: FRACTAL COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY: Developed by TMMI in 1995 but the Computer Hardware at that time just didn't have the microprocessing power to handle TMMI's Fractal Technology but today with Faster and Better Computing, TMM's Fractal may be the best technology available for Streaming Media applications. KEY QUESTION: What is this technology worth and what would another company pay for it? Is this as simple as $25M-35M Buyout of TMM,Inc? ($.25-.35/Share Value after dividing by 100M Shares Issued or is it worth less ..... or is it worth significantly more.) NO LIMIT OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. Quicker Downloads of Graphics/Video. Data Storage. NEARLY EVERY ASPECT OF COMPUTING CAN BENEFIT FROM BETTER COMPRESSION. (7) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES/LICENSING RIGHTS: TMMI retains Licensing Rights to their protected technologies in the Video Graphics arena. This patented Fractal Video Compression technology can be used, licensed or sold. TMMI can merge with a manufacturing or Distribution Company. One investor here believes Fractal Video is the next generation of technology and Major Computer Hardware and Software vendors have confirmed their interest in implementing this smooth graphic technology into their systems. Will it be TMMI's Fractal? (8) ASSET #5: VIDEO DATABASE SOFTWARE: Sophisticated video database software code for product development being successfully used by others. TMMI rights to ATHERTON DATA BASE. For their own multimedia database products. TMMI sold the other rights to Stellar Solutions.The Stellar Solutions product co-developed by Tom & Chili, marketed/sold for the past year. The potential for NEW multimedia/video database products is huge. But no TMMI labeled product yet. TMMI ASSET VALUE may = Technology + Rights to Database. (9) RECOVERED FROM BANKRUPTCY: A company with an ATTITUDE that has come out of Bankruptcy and even though they are not producing a product or much income, their technology could lead to a Buyout or Strategic Partnerships to develop a Fractal Compression Technology product for Streaming Video for another company. (10) CEO TOM SIMPSON: Never say die attitude. Won't be denied in his efforts to maximize the company and its technology. Rumors have been flying for the last six months that Simpson is close to selling the Fractal Technology to a "BIG PLAYER." Rumors were very hot in May. Even talk of "Multiple" agreements possibly being in the the works. (11) CEO TOM SIMPSON TALKS ABOUT FRACTAL COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY: "There are great projects in the work and I feel that TMM is in a excellent position to take advantage of the Internet Streaming Market. I have spent the last two month researching and speaking with all that are selling video/audio codec (Compression and Decompression Software) on or over or for the World Wide Web. I see no technology out there that comes close to what we did with the fractal codec four years ago. That's an ability to send a file and then display it in any mode that your computer can handle." -- SUCCESS = HUGE SHAREHOLDER VALUE in Negotiations with other companies. (12) STREAMING MEDIA FOR MUSIC: TMMI did the MP3 for the Michael Jackson Concert. Reported that what TMMI used worked well. Just another example of uses for TMM's Fractal Compression Technology. (13) TRUDEF TECHNOLOGY: (TMM's Image Editing Product) Being sold from TMMI Website. A package of Compression/Graphics with extensive Image Processing and Color Manipulation features. The proprietary TruDef compression will reduce an image into a smaller file size, while maintaining the image quality to achieve a compression ratio of approximately 20-40:1. State-of-the-Art product and competitively priced. Multimedia product that holds its own vs. Competition's Products as well as higher end products like Adobe Photoshop. Competitive vs. similar products for Image Scanning and Editing Applications and stands alone in the areas of Compression and File Type Conversion. Lacks marketing dollars. Trudef ongoing sales from the TMMI Website. (14) FULL-FUNCTIONING WEBSITE: The web site is a fully functioning site with downloadable software and a nice site for a company coming out of bankruptcy. (8/99 Down for Updates) (15) CD PRODUCTS: The Elvis Graceland CD was sold through stores two years ago in addition to other software outlets. Sold pretty well. Opportunities exist for CD's, MP3, and some of TMMI's other proprietary technology. (16) REPORTING COMPANY: "T" (First Letter) won't be faced with SEC Filing Decisions to remain on the OTCBB until late first quarter 2000. (17) THE HIDDEN TREASURE: If it isn't Fractal Technology or New Products for Streaming Media or Video Database, it may be the Movie Rights to the Company Story which is one of the more unique stories interesting stories involving a corporate entity. Over the next few weeks we will find out if TMM,Inc is truly involved in an ultimate "RAGS to RICHES Story."
