BUSINESS SUMMARY AND CORPORATION BACKGROUND: The Henley Group (located in Miami, FL), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in Systems Integration for the publishing industry with emphasis on the Internet, business information systems, and graphic communications. Henley recently acquired a controlling interest in Magra Computer Technologies ( magra.com Canadian Dealer Network -- MGRA) of Ontario, Canada, which provides digital information management solutions with a variety of computing environments including UNIX and Windows NT. Magra has expertise in database management, networking, and web page development. In addition to US & Canadian Magra Systems Integration, Henley's most recent acquisition is MC (Media Central) Technologies, which develops, distributes and supports software for digital asset and workflow management. The Digital Assets/Workflow Management market is growing rapidly. The market for these products amounted to $1 billion in 1996, representing a 300%growth over $250 million in 1995, according to BIS of Norwalk, CT, an industry watchdog for electronic publishing. Since it is well positioned to become a fast growing company in a rapidly growing Internet-related industry, HNLY is featured in the Bull and Bear Newsletter for one of their 98 picks ( thebullandbear.com ).
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND ANALYSIS: The price of HNLY has been going down steadily with relatively flat trading volumes since HNLY went public in 1996. The volumes have been picked up since January 1998. In particular, more than 4 million shares (140% of floating shares) have been traded during last five sessions. This very unique trading pattern raised a red flag in our system and caught our eyes, suggesting that the stock faces a major breakout .
Right now, the company is ready to become a fast growing company in a rapidly growing Internet-related industry. The members in the management team are competent and intelligent. They have made a solid business plan with an exceptional growth in their mind for years to come. The management has proven their unique ability in executing their business plan during the developmental stage of the company. The management has told us that the company is working on its financials very diligently and anticipates it will be released very, very soon. The company is preparing to list HNLY in NASDAQ in the first half of this year and ready to retain an investment bank for future acquisitions. They are confident that their stock will be adequately appreciated by investors and its price will steadily rise to meet the listing criteria as soon as they release all the financials accordingly. The management is committed to enhancing shareholder values. They believe that their shareholders are highly valued, and their company is way undervalued in the eyes of Wall Street. They are going to change it Therefore, we conclude that HNLY is extremely undervalued compared its peers.
