Over-hyped technology share

Article Abstract:

Superscape VR carried out a stock flotation in 1994, and has not reported a profit since then. The company plans a new generation of 3D interactive software, and news of this has overshadowed poor results. Superscape's software needs faster downloading. The company needs cash for marketing and development and the market is potentially large, but Superscape has to show that it can develop a stake in this market. The company has benefited from being in an internet sector, which has allowed it to raise funds more easily.
