>>Earnings Date is Jan 27th...Kathy, nice IR person:Update 01/12/99* requested a financial due diligence package from [Kathy]...whom did not know what that was and claimed that no one had ever requested one before!?... esecurities: status of FRAG MASTER? Ron Resnick: jury is still out...interesting product...[???] esecurities: is Talk n' Play shipping 'mid-January' per Company representation(s)? Resnick: notice I never said a date...may be in stores by mid-February... esecurities: do you have the personnel to run a telecommunications Company viz a viz Talk n' Play and WeCanTalk.com...? Resnick: The public might be surprised regarding our ability...yes... esecurities: Does TMSR have the working capital to pursue your telecommunications focus? Resnick:Cannot answer that. esecurities: What about the technology behind competitor FireTeam? Resnick: We believe FireTeam validates our enthusiasm for Talk n' Play as FireTeam technology is only good for that specific game whereas [TMSRs] Talk n' Play's Intel proprietary voice technology enables any/all Internet games. esecurities: If Talk n' Play is so hot why aren't [ALL] the gaming companies jumping all over it esp. WON.net? Resnick [nervously]: Well...they have all expressed much interest and now that the packaging is done and the product/disk is Gold Mastered I will be pursuing that direction. [???] esecurities: Yahoo! indicates that no analysts currently follow TMSR. Is that correct? Cathy Luckie: No, there is Deborah Wardell with Cruttenden, Damon Yuzon with Black & Co., James Linn with Wedbush Morgan... esecurities: What is the status of the NASCAR RacePro for Nintendo® and Sony PlayStation®? We noticed that one cannot purchase from your website as there is no 'Buy It' button available. Resnick: NASCAR&reg RacePro (Nintendo/PlayStation) is selling out as fast as we can ship them to Best Buy and Toys r' Us. I will look in to the situation at our website. esecurities: Then TMSR should be announcing a revenue surprise? Resnick: [very nervously] Well, we are keeping very tight control of not shipping too much product.[???] esecurities: given that you have sustained consistent and substantial losses for the past four (4) quarters is TMSR a going concern? Alan Robison(sp?): Yes. esecurities: Given said losses do you have the working capital to fund your telecommunications and ambitious product rollout strategy pursuant to Frank Hausmann's q3/q4 '98 press releases? Robison: Cannot answer that at this time but we do have financing in place. esecurities: Will that be addressed pursuant to your January 27 news release? Robison: Yes, but you can also address it during the conference call. esecurities: Can you account for the run up in your stock price? Robison: Investor confidence in our latest press releases and Frank Hausmann's announcement's. esecurities: Are you confident about TMSRs future going forward? Robison: Oh yes, very much so. *transcribed from notes taken pursuant to telephone conversations on 01/12/98 1:55 - 2:16 pm pst with Ron Resnick, VP Marketing; Alan Robison, Controller, Cathy Luckie, I/R (NASDAQ:TMSR).
