These chips are integral components used in nearly all electronic products, ranging from mobile phones and washing machines to toys, televisions and motorcars. Consumer entertainment markets require more powerful processors and are usually based on 32-bit chips which Cyan is developing to serve this market segment. Cyan operates in a $14 billion worldwide market for microcontrollers, which is poised to grow to $20 billion by 2010. Cyan has identified Europe and South East Asia as the largest markets for its products, and as such aims to have 1% of the microcontroller market within 5 years. Originally Cyan was a spin out from Cambridge Consultants Limited to use its 16-bit core, the same core used in CSR's Bluetooth chips. Since Cyan was founded in 2002, it achieved over 100 design wins during 2006 for its initial eCOG1k product and is expanding the range of the patent-protected eCOG1 family and introducing a new range of 32 bit microcontrollers. Volume shipments on the eCOG1k processor started in 2006 and the eCOG1X family of 30 products will be available to ship in volume in Q2 2007. Cyan has already established, through a customer in China, a significant share of the huge China Tax Control POS Terminal market. Also Cyan has a high volume opportunity with a tier 1 global brand name for its new eCOG1X chip. Cyan has introduced design integration support software, CyanIDE, to support the Company's entire range of current and future microcontrollers. The software makes chip integration into customers' products vastly more simple, quick, reliable and hence less expensive while dramatically reducing time to market for our customers. Cyan created CyanIDE to avoid relying on costly standard tools from third party suppliers. CyanIDE is available free of charge to our customers. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, UK and opened a sales and technical support office in Hong Kong in May 2005 which services the Chinese market. Cyan employs 40 people.
