SW: TSIG...I took this off of the TSIG thread. Thought it would be the closest thing to an update on what's been going on internally.For those who don't know, Marty just spent 3 days at TSIG's office in St.Pete. There is more to come.

Hi Sam and ALL,

Just leaving for the office, but the "guru" working on my server has given me five minutes to check the thread.

No... I am not TSIG's "PR guy"! I am a shareholder with a substantial position willing to make the effort to do the maximum DD possible and share it with the threads. The "report" (answers to your submitted questions plus my own observations) will be posted over the weekend after I (1) receive via fax one last bit of factual information from corporate counsel to confirm what I was told and (2) I can be sure my computer will not crash (when I say crash I mean unable to even boot into any operating system). I will only repeat this one more time... IMO, there is nothing negative and many, many positives. Please use some common sense. If it were otherwise I would no longer be posting here and would be long gone... period!!

BTW, the inferences and observations made by certain posters this morning which I just scanned quickly are fact. PRs should be out next week. One of the advantages of actually visiting the company for a prolonged period is the opportunity to visit with each member of upper management and see their work boards on the wall. Interesting names there... especially the ones having cards prepared for them.

One last thing. Don't forget the word "International" in our name. Some are going to be in for a big surprise very, very shortly... and I think this will make front page news. James Guild and John Hwang are leaving for London tomorrow... I guess to visit James' mother again.

Please let management and Golin/Harris do their work. IMO, they are doing a superb job. And three other things. If you find problems with the MyMusicCard site... send the details to the Webmaster directly from the site itself. Talking on the thread will not solve these minor problems. Secondly, the BabeRuth website that is being chastised for typos, etc. is not TSIG's... it is the BabeRuth leagues's personal site. Obviously the CCI should be corrected, but perhaps they need TSIG to redo their entire website. Thirdly, I have seen the TSIG.com site and, IMO, it is fantastic... even with a possible new logo.

IMO, it is revenues you want and, IMHO, revenues you shall have!

Be Right!!!... Sit Tight!!!

Best always,

Marty

4/15/99 - SECURITY DYNAMICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER REVENUE


BEDFORD, Mass., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDTI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,
1999. Revenue for the first quarter of 1999 increased 21% to $48.7 million, from $40.2 million for the first quarter of 1998. Excluding certain non-operating and one-time
items, earnings for the quarter were $5.1 million ($0.12 per share on a diluted basis) compared to $5.7 million ($0.14 per share on a diluted basis) for the same period in
1998.

Reported net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $41.0 million ($0.97 per share on a diluted basis), compared to $3.0 million ($0.07 per share on a diluted basis) for the

Another Strong Buy coverage initiated on VRIO.
I am not sure when in the day it came out. But every brokerage firm has this stock rated as a buy, Strong buy, or top pick. They know this is a solid company that will fly once the internets rebound. They have a great niche business. Their main competitor would have been AOL but they just signed a deal with AOL. Very smart. A great future.
