KING COMMUNICATIONS TRIPLES U.S. SALES OF MOBILE DATA SYSTEMS Good morning, Ed. Please find enclosed KCI's latest press release and our brief commentary. There is no doubt this company is for real and will be a strong long term performer based on this press release. Would like to hear your thoughts on this story, as well as, other readers. Once again, thank-you for the opportunity to discuss KCI, as well as our 3rd place Cyberbeer Award. Can't promise 49% every month but revenues like the ones reported below should lead to continued strong growth. For a comprehensive report regarding King Communications, please refer to our KCI thread here at SI. Regards, AGORA. ------------------- KCI TRIPLES UNITED STATES SALES OF MOBILE DATA SYSTEMS Good morning to you all. Pursuant to our last update regarding KCI, please find enclosed the company's latest press release. KCI stock has moved up nicely from .35 to .55 over the last month and this press release adds a basis for this support. The results should come as no surprise to anyone in light of the updates we have been providing since November. What is interesting to note is that KCI is now achieving $400,000 in U.S. sales in only 2 months, as opposed to the 12 months it took them in fiscal 1997 and the 6 months it took for the first half of fiscal 1998. You will find this information in the press release below. It is important to emphasize that sales figures in the press release relate to KCI sales in the United States only. Having said that, it is no secret that the key to any international company's growth is success in the highly lucrative US market. These latest results further prove that KCI is well on it's way to achieving that goal and will become a core participant in the US market. We look forward to 2nd quarter results, which are anticipated sometime near the end of this month. We repeat our theme for 1998 - only those junior companies with revenues will be able to survive and grow. KCI continues to prove it's worth in our AGORA portfolio and would be a healthy addition to anyone's portfolio. Regards, Agora. ------------------------------------------- King Communications International Ltd - KCI Shares issued 15,002,172 Feb 2 close $0.54 Mon 2 Feb 98 News Release Vancouver, BC (February 2, 1998) - King's United States sales and marketing initiatives are progressing successfully and as planned.
