Dan Dorfman just came out with this on SOFN:

SoftNet Systems in Buyout Talks?

A money manager with top connections in the Internet community tells me he hears solid reports that San Francisco-based SoftNet Systems (SOFN), 23 1/8, is in exploratory talks to be acquired.

The manager says he has no idea which company SoftNet might be talking to, whether a deal will ever materialize, or what a potential buyout price might be.

Separately, another West Coast manager says he has also heard rumblings of a possible SoftNet takeover.

SoftNet provides high-speed Internet access through existing cable infrastructure. It also offers Internet access to remote areas through telephone lines, and is integrating two-way satellite Internet access technology to reach small, more remote cable systems.

The company, which has more than 2000 residential and business subscribers, posted sales of $12.2 million over the last 12 months.

According to analysts' consensus earnings estimates, SoftNet is pegged to lose $2.98 a share this year and show another loss of $3.01 in 2000.

SoftNet shares have had quite a ride this year, sprouting from a 52-week low of 5 5/8 to a 52-week high of 69 1/2.

SoftNet CEO Lawrence Brilliant is on vacation and was not available for comment. Other officials could not be reached.
