We are looking for exciting developments from WIZZF in the future which
should help it to continually break new highs in the stock price in our
opinion.
Below is a company profile for your review.
A RAPIDLY-GROWING INTERNET BUSINESS INCUBATION & MANAGEMENT FIRM
WSi Interactive Corp. is an Internet business development and direct
marketing firm that builds, manages and markets a wide range of exciting
new on-line companies. WIZ draws upon its 10+ years of direct marketing
experience and information databases to cost-effectively attract qualified
buyers to its proprietary and client websites, and then builds long-term
relationships with these well-qualified customers on-line.
PROFITABLE, WELL MANAGED GROWTH
Prior to joining forces, the three divisions that comprise WSi Interactive
Corporation were established, profitable businesses offering services in
areas of their respective core competencies. Under WSi, each division
continues to derive revenue from these services while applying their
knowledge to the development of new Internet business.
A SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT MODEL
In developing Internet businesses, WSi Interactive Corporation uses its
direct marketing expertise to identify niche markets and realize revenue
from the new business in its early stages. This revenue minimizes downside
risk and aids in the funding of further development during the proof of
concept phase. WSi Interactive Corporation owns and operates several
proprietary businesses and provides total management and marketing for
third party businesses. WSi has built a solid reputation for developing
profitable Internet businesses that thrive on a variety of revenue
streams, making them attractive targets for public company acquisition.
Bottom-line, WSi Interactive has a unique, integrated model for building,
managing and marketing Internet businesses. When a WSi-developed "dot.com"
company goes on line or does an IPO, the business ideas have been proven
to be viable, the web sites are fully-operational, and there is a solid
revenue stream from day one.
The marketing model for WIZ is CMG Information Services (CMGI NASDAQ),
which evolved from a direct marketing agency in 1990 to one of the largest
networks of Internet companies in the world. Like CMGI, WSi Interactive
plans to establish itself as a recognized leader in the Internet economy,
by creating a one-stop shop for e-commerce and e-advertising, plus
financial information and entertainment.
What WSi does is actually quite simple: using the principles of direct
marketing, they understand who their customers are and what they want, and
then they deliver on all of the customer's specific online needs. WSi does
this by building sites focused on a specified target market or niche,
drives qualified traffic to these sites, analyzes the traffic using their
unique pinpoint system, and then modifies that site to better suit the
specific target market's needs on an ongoing basis.
WSi EXPECTS TO LAUNCH UP TO 30 NEW "DOT.COM" BUSINESSES IN THE NEXT TWO
YEARS
The mandate of WSi is to design, build and manage Internet businesses,
both internally and for others. It is doing so by combining the marketing
skills of Western Shores with the comprehensive Internet infrastructure
and web expertise of MediaNet and TargetPacks.
WSi Interactive has identified some 30 additional website concepts which
will be researched and developed over the next two years in four business
areas: financial, e-commerce / e-retailing, entertainment, and
e-advertising. Each of these ventures will be future clients and / or
directly /indirectly owned by WSi. Every new Internet business brought to
market will have projected revenues of $1.2 + million in their first year
of operations.
As the website concepts move from concept to design through proof of
concept and roll out, successful websites are expected to be spun off into
public vehicles (as per the CMG Information and IdeaLab concepts). WSi
will in most cases retain site management and related fees as well as
realizing capital gains.
MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS & STRONG GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 18 MONTHS
The WSi Interactive group of companies currently generates about C$3
million in revenues and is profitable; revenues increased 33% in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1999.
Increasing revenue from StockSecrets.com and the revenues from both the
core businesses as well as the newly-launched websites suggest that WSi
Interactive is on track towards its target FY 2000 revenues of about C$6
million, of which approximately 50% will be derived from Internet-related
projects.
The basic strategy of WSi is to aggressively build a profitable revenue
stream. Over the short term, WSi intends to increase revenues from the
$2-$3 million level to $6 million, accomplished through a combination of
traditional activities of its subsidiaries as well as new/enhanced online
activities and properties. Longer term, we see much of the blue sky
emanating from the development of proprietary websites.
MIGHT WSi INTERACTIVE BE THE NEXT CMG INFORMATION SERVICES (CMGI NASDAQ)
?
The WSi Interactive business model and core competencies are quite similar
to that of CMG Information Services Inc. ("CMGI" on NASDAQ), which evolved
from a direct marketing agency in 1990 to one of the largest developer and
operator of Internet and direct marketing companies in the world.
In terms of corporate performance, CMGI has approximately 245.9 million
shares outstanding, trades at about US$125.5 per share, has grown its
revenues from US$23 million in 1995 to US$91 million in 1998, while
reporting an increase in earnings from 6¢ to 25¢ per share over the same
period.
WSi Interactive, on the other hand, has 31.2 million shares outstanding
and is projecting revenues of about C$12 million over the next 18 months.
THREE PROFITABLE AND COMPLIMENTARY DIVISIONS PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR GROWTH
WSi Interactive has brought together three separate, but complementary
companies and organized them into a solid marketing and technology
infrastructure that provides the foundation upon which to conceive, build
and manage successful Internet businesses. Together, these subsidiaries
provide a critical mass of skill sets, personnel, database content and
design, and Internet-related infrastructure, as well as four
fully-operational and established Internet businesses. WSi has existing
client bases and revenue streams at each of its subsidiaries to support
its rapid growth plans over the next 18 months.
WesternShores Direct Marketing Group. Established in 1990, Western Shores
has become a leading direct mail / database marketing agency for clients
in Canada and the United States. In the fiscal year ending June 30th,
revenues were just under C$3 million.
What Western Shores does best is targeted communications. They can take a
client's existing database (i.e. a retail or mail order customer base) and
build a highly accurate profile of households in order to hone a message,
target the audience more precisely, and create effective customer loyalty
programs. The benefits to clients are cutting costs associated with
ineffective, improperly targeted direct mailing lists and achieving higher
response and success ratios from advertising programs. Clients have
included public and private organizations, retail and catalogue firms,
financial institutions, insurance companies, and fundraising
organizations.
A priority for Western Shores is to overlay and supplement its traditional
mail-related databases with Internet-related information and build
enhanced customer profiles with which to create industry specific customer
programs.
TargetPacks.com. This division of WSi Interactive specializes in "Opt-In
E-mail List Management", which are compiled from individuals who have
requested information about specific products and services. TargetPacks
then uses the information to produce highly-profitable, large volume
e-mail broadcasts, newsletters, and other web-based promotions to specific
audiences which generate cyber traffic, produce leads, build market
awareness, and produce e-business opportunities for clients in a wide
range of industries.
MediaNetSolutions.com. The MediaNet division of WSi provides high-end
web-site development and advanced web hosting services, with a reputation
for building sites that build traffic and return on investment, rather
than on simply creating graphically pleasing web pages. To date, MediaNet
has designed and built over 70 websites. Projected service revenues from
this business segment is $1.35 million for the current year.
MediaNet is aggressively moving into "convergence" Internet applications,
specifically Internet broadcasting and telephony. MediaNet has recently
signed agreements with the Los Angeles Film School and
HollywoodBroadcasting.com, Inc. to provide turnkey Internet solutions for
website development, network set-up, and technology to deliver live,
interactive video broadcasts on-line.
WSi Interactive is a fully-reporting company Bedford Curry is the
company's auditor.
During the quarter ending September 30, 1999, WSi's revenues of C$814,893
exceeded the first quarter target of C$750,000; while the company reported
a small net loss, the reporting period was one where WSi made significant
investments in technology and human resources, as staffing grew from 20 to
42 full-time employees and assets increased to C$2.3 million. The
company's September 1999 financials can be viewed at (
