From 10-K. More financing likely needed in ~60 days. At current burn rate of $1.5M and current market capitalization, one quarter of cash = 5% dilution or ~22% annual dilution.

************************************************
Considering our current cash balance and Wave’s projected operating cash requirements, we anticipate that our existing capital resources will be adequate to satisfy our cash flow requirements through mid-May 2007.

Wave has begun market introduction of its security and broadband media distribution software products and has signed initial distribution contracts for these applications. However, due to the early stage nature of this market, it is unlikely that Wave will generate sufficient revenue to cover all of its cash flow needs to fund its operating requirements for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Because Wave does not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the year ending December 31, 2007; and given the uncertainties described above with respect to Wave’s revenue outlook for 2007, Wave has been and will continue to be actively engaged in financing activities in order to generate additional funding to cover its operating costs for the year ending December 31, 2007.

It is likely that we will be required to sell additional shares of common stock, preferred stock, obtain debt financing or engage in a combination of these financing alternatives, to raise additional capital to continue to fund our operations for the year ending December 31, 2007. The availability and amount of any such financings are unknown at this time. Wave may also be required to reduce expenses which may significantly impede its ability to meet its sales, marketing and development objectives. Given the available cash currently on hand and our expenditure forecast for the year ending December 31, 2007, we estimate that we will need to generate at least $11,500,000, in order to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months ending December 31, 2007.

Reach, RE: TCF

TCF isn't a huge bank, only 8000 employees (only lol). Basically they are aware of the TCG and the TPM, but are not implementing it today (per this guy). He wasn't the "head" decision maker, but he was head of their fraud team and was aware of their current implementation.

What he said was:

-the Feds are there every week harassing them about audit trails
-they have a number of checks in place for on line banking
-they use pointsec drive encryption
-they have employee system checking to ensure data is not copied and taken home
-they don't adopt non-"mature" technology

...and some other stuff. I talked to him for about 20 minutes. I discussed the STX drive and he was going to take that info to his other groups. Basically, he said other institutions may be more "cutting edge" than them, but they were a smaller outfit but took security seriously. He did verify before contacting me that I had an account with them. He was also very concerned about me moving my account away from them and continued to ask what banks I was considering and what their responses were to my questions.
