 Marketplace Rules, Wave is announcing, as it has done the past two years at this time, that its auditors' opinion letter which will be contained in Wave's Form-10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 raises "substantial doubt" about Wave's ability to continue as a going concern given its recurring losses from operations, working capital position and its accumulated deficit.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , commented, "Though the formation of a global market for trusted computing Trusted Computing (also abbreviated TC) is a technology developed and promoted by the Trusted Computing Group. The term is taken from the field of trusted systems and has a specialized meaning.  solutions remains in the early stages, during 2006 Wave continued to expand its market position, base of industry relationships and the breadth of its product offerings, including both PC and server applications. Importantly, this progress was reflected in increased revenues as key PC OEM partners commenced their bundled shipments of Wave's EMBASSY Trust Suite software. While there have been normal delays and challenges as the market becomes better educated and the decision making on deployment strategy proceeds, trusted computing deployment has continued to expand. Industry analysts estimate that the total installed base of PCs with enabling TPM (1) See TP monitor.

"Our key distribution relationships remain with partners Dell, Intel and Gateway. In addition, Seagate has announced plans to launch an innovative full disc encryption (FDE FDE Full Disk Encryption

) drive. The FDE technology, when combined with the benefits of a TPM and Wave's software, can deliver a powerful and compelling security solution for data at rest. We believe that the launch of the FDE will help to drive adoption of trusted computing technology. Today we also announced the completion of a licensing agreement with Seagate to allow our software to be bundled with their FDE drives.

"In summary, we are pleased with our achievements during 2006 and the progress in the deployment of our technology through our industry partner relationships. We are also encouraged by the growing interest in our products expressed by enterprises and government agencies. While we cannot predict or guarantee the timing or magnitude of their possible adoption plans, we believe that the level of interest and resource commitment being put forth to evaluate and test trusted computing solutions, combined with the growing penetration of TPM-enabled computers worldwide, suggests that a substantial market opportunity for our products is developing. We believe that our early spade work will continue to benefit us as the market develops."
