Introduction Market Data Compact

On July 23rd, when the Nasdaq Comp. Index dropped by 32 pts,
Hambrecht&Quist led Object Design's IPO at only $7.00/share i.e.
down $4 from an expected offering-price of +/- $11.00/share!
I got ODIS @ $7.5/share and I expect a skyrocket-scheme as soon as the
company releases its latest QY-report and as we leave the current
depressing trend with tech-stocks.
Both ODIS and IFMX have integrated Virage Inc.'s VIR technology into
their multimedia database-mangmt. tools but it seems to me that ODIS
gets the strongest growth-potential:

Object Design, Inc. develops, markets and supports the ObjectStore database management system and related tools used to
build and deploy Internet, Intranet, and other applications. The Company's database products are designed to handle the data
types and data relationships found on the rapidly expanding World Wide Web. ObjectStore provides native support for
extended data types such as image, free text, video, audio, HTML, and Java software objects, as well as for the extended
relationships among data exemplified by the non-tabular unstructured data found on the Internet, enabling customers to build
applications that would be difficult or impossible to implement with conventional relational, extended-relational or
object-reational database management systems, and reducing devlopment costs and shortening the time required to develop
and deploy applications.

Since its introduction in 1990, ObjectStore has grown quickly to become the market leader in object databases*, with more
than 31% of the market and revenues nearly three times its closest competitor. Object Design has licensed over 20,000
copies of its software to an installed base of more than 700 customers. In 1995, Object Design posted worldwide revenues in
excess of $32 million.

ObjectStore has been widely deployed in telecommunications, finance, and engineering design and analysis applications,
where rigorous requirements for high performance, reliability, concurrency and scalability must be met, and where
conventional databases, due to their limited ability to accomodate complex data and relationships, have been unable to meet
user requirements. ObjectStore's object oriented architecture, performance, reliability and extensibility provide a powerful
solution for the rapidly evolving data management needs of Web applications.

Object Design is headquartered in Burlington, Massachussetts and markets its products in 25 countries worldwide through
sales offices in major US cities, wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan, and a
network of distributors. Object Design has formed strategic alliances with most major hardware vendors, including IBM,
Digital, HP, Silicon Graphics, and Sun. SunSoft has embedded Object Design's database technology within Solaris NEO
(formerly Project DOE) to provide support for persistence objects. This enables Solaris NEO developers to tranparently
preserve and recover data that must persist between object requests.

Object Design's total solution includes comprehensive customer support services. Its professional services program,
Deployment by Design, offers engineering assistance, on-site technical seminars, education and training, and a 24-hour
technical support hotline to ensure success in the building and deployment of mission-critical applications with ObjectStore.
The Object Design Alliance program unites a worldwide network of value-added resellers, systems integrators and
technology partners to provide solutions based on ObjectStore.
