SW, FURTHER EXPLANATION ON **SHAL**.... SHAL uses the *CMGI* model. Somewhat timely as well right now as a technology (i.e E-Banking) developed the last 3 years with Oracle and Sun going public this month. (see below)
WHY IS SHAL's MODEL LIKE *CMGI*?:
Acquires select, "clean" companies, makes them more attractive and brings them public at the right time, and retaining 30-45% of ownership for shareholders.
Has one company public now
The most significant IPO is later this month called SolutionNet...Enet-Banking, developed in partnership with **SUNW** and **Oracle**
Expected to be priced at $7.00 per share with shareholders retaining 40%
SolutionNet -- three-year development partners with Oracle Corp.
(Nasdaq:ORCL) and Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq:SUNW) -- is the developer of
ENET-Internet Banking, the specialized Internet Software
Solution/Gateway Technology slated for its official, international
product launch in Singapore on Feb. 26, 1999.
Additionally, SolutionNet has a number of other progressive
Internet/intranet (IT) Software Solution Technologies poised to enter
the market in 1999, including its state-of-the-art EMI-Electronic Medi
Info system, which will catapult health-care-industry service into the
21st century.
SO HOW DO YOU VALUE THIS COMPANY?
Just like CMGI, one way is to figure out what the value is from what they own of the companies they bring public.
If SolutionNet is valued at $7.00 and they retain 40% then that one company has a value of $2.80 to SHAL shareholders.
If they take 2-3 more companies public in the next 3-6 months then add the price and percentages of those. Plus they have one company public now. Of ocurse the company has assets and a valuation of it's own, beyond the companies it owns.
EXAMPLE:
Company A goes public 40% of $2.00 = $1.20
Company B goes public 40% of $7.00 = $2.80
Company C goes public 35% of $6.00 = $2.10
Company D goes public 40% of $2.00 = .80
If this was the scenario, the value of SHAL's holdings to shareholders would be (at current value above).... $6.90
Plus value of SHAL itself ........... $4.00 (?)
TOTAL VALUE ........................ $11.90 ?
As more companies are brought public and as value of their holdings hopefully go up, then SHAL's value goes up. And SHAL has no liability or further costs after the company goes public (as I understand it), since the percentage they retain is a fee for helping to bring the companies they acquire up to a state and value where they can be a successful IPO (which costs SHAL money, obviously).
The companies they acquire have great products or potential but no marketing or lousy management or whatever, which SHAL "fixes" before taking them public. Turns them around, so to speak.
SolutionNet was a 3 year development.
(this is just an example...I do not know the exact figures)
