WHY DOCU IS AN OPTIMAL SHELL COMPANY ==================================== 1. Active/Accessable Management. 2. They have $500,000 cash for the company. 3. Low Market Cap comparison. 4. Low number of outstanding shares.
1. ACTIVE/ACCESSABLE MANAGEMENT =============================== It is important to know if management is actively pursuing a reverse merger. The CEO, Bob Schwartz, can be contacted at 518-786-7733. I have spoken to him several times and he returns calls. He was a director in the company and was chosen to head up the search for a merger since he is an investment banker. They did MRGO that from $3 to $35. He is reviewing several companies for the reverse merger. He is getting paid in stock for his work. On 7/7/2000 I spoke to him and he just returned from a trip to New York where he looked at several reverse merger candidates. He would like to have a letter of intent signed by the end of July. NOTE: I keep in contact with several shell companies. Many of them will not return your calls.
2. THEY HAVE $500,00 CASH FOR THE NEW COMPANY ============================================= After selling off their previous business, they distributed all but $500,000. They decided the cash would be more valuable to the shell company in finding a suitable reverse merger candidate. Operating companies are interested in merging into a shell company so they can gain access to the equities market and raise additional capital. I would assume most operating companies would be very interested in getting an instant $500,000. This should help DOCU find a quality reverse merger candidate.
3. LOW MARKET CAP COMPARRISON ============================= One way to value shell companies is by looking at their Market Cap. I base the market cap on the current ask price since this is what you would pay to buy the company. Below, I have compared the Market Cap of DOCU to four other shell companies that have recently announced letters of intent for a reverse merger.
SYM SHARES ASK Market Cap OUTSTANDING PRICE (On Ask Price) ----- ----------- ------ -------------- SHPS 19,997,160 1.7500 $34,995,030 LAMT 2,775,100 2.6880 $7,459,469 MMDI 13,700,657 0.1700 $2,329,112 BDRY 3,056,343 0.5938 $1,814,856 ----- ----------- ------ -------------- DOCU 4,200,000 0.2900 $1,218,000
Both SHPS and LAMT have announced letters of intent with wireless companies and have included some details. BDRY has announced a letter of intent with a printer refill company with few details. MMDI has only stated in their SEC filings that they have signed a letter of intent, but have not given any details . . . not even the name of the company.
DOCU has NOT announced a letter of intent. IMHO, DOCU's current market cap of $1,218,000 has the potential of reaching $1.8mil - $35mil when an announcement is made. Below is DOCU's possible share price at different market cap values:
Market Share Cap Price ---------- ----- 2,000,000 $0.48 3,000,000 $0.71 4,000,000 $0.95 5,000,000 $1.19 7,500,000 $1.79 10,000,000 $2.38 12,500,000 $2.98 15,000,000 $3.57 20,000,000 $4.76 35,000,000 $8.33
4. LOW NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES =================================== DOCU currently has only 4.2mil shares outstanding. This is considered very low. The public float appears to be about 2.7mil shares. You will notice the stock moves on very little volume. Usually, in a reverse merger, new shares are issued to the new company. Since DOCU has a relatively low number of shares outstanding, it is possible that there will not be a reverse stock split.
CONCLUSION ========== Shell company investments are VERY risky. But, they offer the possibility of substantial returns. I witnessed SXML go from $.03125 to $50 ... a $1000 investment would have been worth $1.6mil.
In my opinion, DOCU is one of the best shell companies currently available. If they merge with the optimal company, such as a wireless company, it is possible that the stock could be worth several dollars a share.
NOTE: I own stock in DOCU. This information is base on my assumptions, SEC reports, news releases, and discussions with DOCU management. This is not a recommendation to buy DOCU. Please do your own DD (Due Diligence).
