-------------SUMMARY DD TO GET YOU STARTED-------------
(1) MARKET CAP: 13.5 Million Fully Diluted Shares with 11 Million Outstanding and just 3 Million in the Float.
(2) STOCK PRICE ACTION: Stock has peaked @ $8.00 (9/98),$6.00 (2/99), and $4.00 (4/99). Low $1.00 (2/99) Can be very volatile because of Low Float. All-time High registered at $11 1/8 the day before Thanksgiving.
(3) PRINCIPLES OF WAVELET TECHNOLOGY: Offers high levels of compression at LOW COST. It makes video streaming FASTER, CLEARER, and IMPROVES QUALITY of both moving and still images. Can provide a 2.5x times LARGER IMAGE SIZE in a 1.5x SMALLER FILE SIZE. This technology cuts DOWNLOADING TIME from :20 seconds to :07 seconds while using 70% LESS BANDWIDTH.
Combining WAVELET + STREAMING VIDEO = Major Technology Coup since band-width is where the cost savings can really be enhanced.
HIGHER QUALITY + LOWER COST = HIGH DEMAND. Some believe this technology is far superior to MPEG. Wavelet will impact millions of Internet Users with a large number of applications. Wavelet Technology will change the way we view movies and communicate over the Internet.
(4) WAVELET TECHNOLOGY: Developed by Bjorn Jawerth (PhD,LundInstitute of Technology,1977) Analysis/ Research interests include: Harmonic Analysis and Computational Mathematics. bj@math.sc.edu Bjorn Jawerth Department of Mathematics,University of South Carolina, Columbia,SC 29208 USA (803) 777-6218 Jawerth is the father of the algorithms that are the foundation of Wavelet Technology. Jawerth's technology is owned by his private corporation, Summus,Ltd.
(((CREDENTIALS: Brad Silvernails,CEO/Summus, Ltd Ex-IBM, 20 yr. stint where he built IBM's Wireless Division from scratch into a substantial player which was then sold to Ericcsom of Sweden. 2+ yr. at Asia Brown Boveri Built their Software Metering Div. from scratch. Received a counter-offer from ABB which he could not refuse BUT DID REFUSE. Has extensive management capabilities and excellent contacts in the software and technology industries. Excellent management team and now building Sales/ Marketing.)))
(5) HSNS HIGH POTENTIAL GROWTH AREAS: There are very few Computer Applications that wouldn't benefit from Wavelet Tech. Many of these applications are huge; Internet Infrastructure, Digital Cameras, Smart Cards, Telecom, Speed of Data Transfer/ Compression, ISP Broadband, Triples Internet Speed, Streaming Video, Photo Compression, Video E-Mail, NetTelephony, WorldTalkNetwork, Change way we view Movies, Download entire movies, Corporate video presentations, Television Commercials, Movie Trailers, and Music Video applications.
Truly UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITY for applying this technology. These opportunities go into nearly every area. (i.e. Manufacturing, Law Enforcement, ASP, Medicine/Healthcare through emerging Medical Imaging Technology.
(6) SUMMUS TECHNOLOGY: Dr. Jawerth's Private firm. A company with significant success in delivering this technology. Delivered WAVELET Technology to the US GOVERNMENT DEFENSE INDUSTRY. Used in Persian Gulf War. ***NOTE: HSNS owns a 20% stake in Summus,Ltd.
(7) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES: The good doctor's algorithms are his and can't be legally used without his permission. Also, it is highly improbable with all of the lines of code involved that it would be nearly impossible to duplicate even if it were legal.
(8) STREAMING MEDIA: Hottest Technology of 1999-2000. Started with YHOO/BCST Partnership. STREAMING MEDIA MANIA. RealNetworks (RNWK)considered the market leader but HSNS technology is considered better by many. ASP's Application Service Providers) may provide significant opportunities for Dynamic Wavelet Technology.
(9) RNWK vs. HSNS: RNWK is a completely self-contained product. HSNS is a major ingredient in the product that has many applications that can be used in many different products. HSNS and RWNK are not necessarily in direct competition. The companies that will be utilizing HSNS's technology will probably be competing directly with RNWK. The greatest asset HSNS offers is the ability to be utilized by many of the giants in this field of technology. HSNS appears to have state-of-the-art Streaming Technology with Wavelet. But with many many different applications including streaming media, the investment ramifications could eventually put this stock into the "LIFESTYLE CHANGER" category for investors. RNWK's V-P Andrew Fox, the architect of RNWK's Sales/ Sales Alliances has left RNWK and a truckload of stock options to assume a similar position with HSNS/Summus.
(10) 186K.NET STRATEGIC ALLIANCE: Key North American Sales Alliance presently. Systems-integrator 186K.NET really gives HSNS many prospects and potential for SIGNIFICANT SALES. They will make Wavelet Products available at a number of MICROSOFT Events. 186K.NET is a private Company from Boca Raton,FL. (They have a Partnership with MICROSOFT that could open the door for something bigger for us.) 186K.NET is the first and only Web-Hosting facility to offer Wavelet Streaming Video capabilities, which will revolutionize the Internet. They will exclusively offer our Licensed Streaming Video product to its client base and will offer this and other wavelet-based products nationwide, including video e- mail.
(11) STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP: NORTH AMERICA: 186K.NET connections could lead to a number of alliances or a possible merger/ buyout. These announcements or others would likely launch HSNS. Many believe that exposure and news could move HSNS into the $20 range which will likely bring large investors and institutions into the mix en masse. At this point, the entire investment community will start evaluating HSNS vs. RNWK. Some will buy HSNS as a hedge vs. their positions in RNWK.
But $20/Share will be just the start. With this technology and small capitolization, ultimately HSNS could sell at a price that will make current stock prices seem small.
(12) STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS: ASIA/KOREA: Strong rumors on this board that CEO Kim has a deal near completion with Samsung and an announcement is expected by the end of the year.
(13) INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE: There are many applications of Dr.Jawerth's Technology but none bigger than the possibilities for Wavelet Compression in terms of INCREASING SPEED and BETTER DATA COMPRESSION on new Major Internet projects. Study the DelFin Project, Internet2, and MSFT's Media Technology 4. This technology could go beyond the Internet to incorporation into PC Operating Systems like Linux.
(14) VIDEO E-MAIL: maxxNote(TM) $59.95/Unit HSNS WebSite. eCommerce use. Has set a new standard of performance with full audio and video synchronization. The wavelet-based product, developed by Summus, Ltd., allows users to send personal messages, business content, or convert existing AVI files, with a user interface that is simple to use.
(15) SUMMUS BUSINESS: (HSNS benefits from the Business through the 20% Ownership in Summus,Ltd.) Corel Corporation (CorelDraw 6.0/7.0. CorelDraw 7.0 ships with 1000 photos compressed in the WI format.), Symbol Technologies (2D Bar Code Scanners/PhotoID; Distributor of Summus Tech),FujiFilm in France Developing a host of tech for digital cameras around Summus' Wavelet Image), InMedia Presentations (Multimedia slide shows over the Internet with Wavelet), SEMS America (VideoConf Eye2Eye powered by Summus), Carnegie Mellon U/NASA Ames Research Center (Mission to demonstrate Robotic Tech for long-distance planetary exploration.),Integrated Computing Engines,Inc. (Server Applications using both Summus' still image and video compression.), Harris Corp/Hughes Aircraft Company (Single Chip algorithm for the USAF's Improved Data Link).
All of these companies in #14 are very significant to HSNS even though they are outside our realm. First, the calibre of these companies shows that this technology is viable and can be utilized in many different applications. Second, HSNS benefits from these sales because of our 20% ownership in Summus,Ltd.

-----------------------QUOTEBOOK----------------------
(em<"I was a mainframe programmer for 25 years, and since the univac 2 on which I began my carier, the crucial elements in processing have always been and will always be: SPEED and SPACE. These are the 2 fundamental elements of processing that ALWAYS predominate the success of the process. Wavelets represent another quantum step toward who-knows-what as the endpoint in this progression, on par in potential with the advent of the chips and various software developments. And so I am a believer and an investor in HSNS." -- HSNS Investor, learninfast
"Wavelet compression is developed by several companies. The difference is we possess superior algorithms developed by Bjorn Jawerth. These are the best in the world. Our technology is called dynamic wavelets. It offers much greater flexibitly, and the compression and speed are far superior. I believe the quality is equal, or greater. However, without seeing the demos, no one can say for sure. Again, the applications of our technology extends to hardware devices. In addition, our technology will aid in bringing a 3D website software to market which will change the landscape of the internet." -- HSNS Investor, MTGdaddy
"Had a meeting with the management of another company today, great company although HSNS is greater. At a given moment they started talking about the tremendous need for more speed and better data compression. I asked them what would happen if a company has the technology to solve these two problems. Their response: that will become an instant multi-billion dollar company. Thus I advised them to call HSNS/Summus which they will do a.s.a.p." -- HSNS Investor, Franke55
