COMPANY PROFILE
Intelliquis International, Inc. ("INTQ" on OTC-BB) of Draper, Utah is a
premier publisher and developer of software products for the personal and business computer markets. Incorporated in 1997, Intelliquis has grown rapidly - the company currently has a staff of 30, two sales offices in the United States, a European sales and distribution center in Ireland and an Asian sales and manufacturing center in Malaysia.
INTQ is best-known for its IntelliFIX 2000 program, a software product
designed to combat year 2000 (Y2K) conflicts on personal computers by automatically identifying, diagnosing and repairing PC hardware, software, operating systems and data. INTQ's software addresses and resolves each key level of Y2K impact in a computer: hardware (BIOS, CMOS and real-time clock), operating systems, software and data-file conflicts.
Currently, INTQ has about a 35% share of this market. Interestingly, its
major competitors, Norton 2000 & Toolbox 2000 (collectively, 50% of the market), cannot repair Y2K problems in software applications, data files, or non-Windows operating systems such as DOS, UNIX, Novell or OS/2 without sending users to the Internet for a patch.
Recently, INTQ has entered into two major sales / marketing agreements for its IntelliFIX 2000 technology.
On June 17th, INTQ announced a distribution agreement with Millennium 2K Solutions Inc. to provide M2K (the company) with 1,000,000 M3 ISA cards (Intelliquis' premier card-based product that provides a permanent fix for potential Y2K bugs in PC computer hardware). This agreement with M2K is estimated to generate US$14 million gross and US$3.5 million net to Intelliquis
Secondly, INTQ has entered into a sales / marketing agreement with America OnLine (AOL) under which AOL will feature the IntelliFIX 2000 software in banner ads on its home page for direct sale to its 17.3 million registered subscribers. INTQ estimates that it will net US$9 on each sale through
AOL.
INTQ also has major sales / marketing agreements with the following
companies: OfficeMax, CompUSA, Staples, Ingram Micro, Digital River and EggHead Software.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE & TRADING RANGE (as of July 1, 1999)
Issued & Outstanding (fully-diluted): ~ 34.6 million shares
Restricted Stock: ~ 29.0 million shares
Est'd Float: ~ 5.6 million shares
1999 Trading Range (adjusted for split): US$2.00 (low) by US$6.25 (high) Current Bid & Ask: US$3.94 by US$4.13 Last Trade (July 1, 1999): US$3.94
INTQ went public in January 1999 @ US$2.00/share (adjusted for a 3-for-1 forward stock split executed on April 30th). Officers and directors of the company hold approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of INTQ.
IntelliFIX 2000
On January 1, 2000, many people believe that the Y2K Bug will strike tens of millions of personal and business computers around the world, causing them to freeze, making programs fail, and losing important data forever.
INTQ is the leading company in the world with a product (IntelliFIX 2000) that tracks down and eliminates Y2K problems in both hardware and software.
We believe that as New Year's Eve draws closer and closer, more and more people will view owning IntelliFIX 2000 as Y2K insurance - you hope you won't need it, but you'd hate to be stuck without it. Even though Windows 98 & Office 2000 are supposed to be Y2K compliant, we suspect that most (if not all) of us will buy some Y2K programs at Staples or Office Max just to be sure.
How does IntelliFIX 2000 work? <
intelliquis.com >
IntelliFIX 2000 performs an 18-point test of your computer's hardware,
checking each component for Y2K-compliance. IntelliFIX 2000 diagnoses and repairs all of your computer's BIOS date problems - regardless of BIOS manufacturer. The program then corrects your computer's CMOS real-time clock, changing the clock from a two-digit format to a four-digit format, ensuring your computer is permanently free from future date conflicts.
Finally, IntelliFIX 2000 performs a scan of your software applications and operating system - treating the millennium bug as a virus - to pinpoint and repair Y2K conflicts in your computer's operating system and application files. When a problem is detected, IntelliFIX 2000 saves the information to a list, letting you see the exact affected file and prompting you to repair it.
INTQ is offering a free trial version of IntelliFIX 2000 so that you can
test for potential Y2K problems. Click here to download a trial version of IntelliFIX 2000 and find out today if your computer's hardware, software, or operating system is affected by Y2K bugs: <

AOL TO FEATURE & SELL INTQ's IntelliFIX 2000 SOFTWARE !!
We understand that Intelliquis has entered into an agreement with America OnLine for the advertisement and direct sale of the IntelliFIX 2000 software products. Beginning in July, INTQ's products will be featured in banner ads on AOL's home page!
AOL has already purchased 50,000 units of IntelliFIX 2000. INTQ management says that they will net about US$9 on each unit of the software sold through AOL.
This deal has huge implications for INTQ. AOL currently has 17.3 million users, and you can be sure that AOL wants each and every one of these folks to be Y2K compliant, so that AOL's revenue stream continues uninterrupted.
If just 10% of AOL subscribers purchase IntelliFIX 2000, that's 1.73
million copies of the software, and net earnings to INTQ of nearly US$15.6 million (45 cents per share).
As January 1, 2000 draws nearer, we expect to see some big, big sales numbers form the AOL deal !!
INTELLIQUIS' OTHER SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
In addition to IntelliFIX 2000, INTQ's other software products include:
Speed 98 (a system and program accelerator product for Windows 95/98), Total Fax (a powerful fax, data and voice communication suite), Credit Builder (a complete debt management application and budget management system) and Web Site Traffic Builder.
On June 22nd, INTQ announced that its Web Site Traffic Builder software product would be bundled with Microsoft Office 2000 in a nationwide promotion at more than 850 Staples superstores throughout the United States.
Traffic Builder is the industry's best-selling Web-site registration
program designed to automatically generate all site information needed to meet each Internet search engine's submission guidelines. Traffic Builder helps website managers register their sites quickly, easily and accurately. With Web Site Traffic Builder, users can submit single or multiple sites to more than 900 search engines, directories and news groups; checks current positions on major search engines; maintains database and profile of submissions; and, submits unlimited URLs. Web Site Traffic Builder also enables users to submit their Web sites to Yahoo! and Snap.com search
engines, both of which have very stringent submission guidelines.
THIS COMPANY IS MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN A Y2K SOFTWARE FIRM !!
While INTQ's management intends to make some serious money out of selling IntelliFIX 2000 this year, the company is looking to grow beyond Y2K with some very significant acquisitions.
One deal that is very close to being signed involves web broadcasting
technology that would allow consumers to select and download full video and sound from a vast library of offerings. The potential is huge – both for e-commerce as well as general business offerings. INTQ believes that this deal could generate US$40 million in sales during the coming year.
A joint venture deal is also reportedly being negotiated with TVMedia, the largest home shopping network and direct sales company in the world. The deal would involve using INTQ's web broadcasting technology to offer on-demand infomercials on the web, and selling these products to consumers around the world through a new e-commerce site that INTQ would own 50% of. INTQ believes that the TVMedia e-commerce deal could potentially generate
US$100 to US$140 million in sales for its accounts.
We also understand that INTQ also hopes to introduce two new
Internet-related software products prior to years-end.
Financing for the acquisitions and developing new products will come from a US$40 million financing currently being arranged by Bankers Trust. The first tranche (US$10 million) is expected to close in July.
The Bankers Trust financing, combined with either the Direct Media or the TV Media deals, should easily qualify INTQ for a full NASDAQ listing !!
INTQ IS A PROFITABLE (and undervalued) OPERATING COMPANY
Founded in 1997, INTQ reported total revenues of US$1.5 million (and a modest net income) in 1998, its first full year of operations. With its
software products beginning to appear in major retail outlets (Staples,
Office Max, CompUSA, etc.), Intelliquis reported total revenues of US$1.22 million and net income of US$0.2 million in the first quarter of 1999.
We understand that second quarter retail sales were on the order of US$3 million; estimates for OEM sales of its Y2K products are not yet available, but are thought to be on the order of several million dollars.
Excluding new products and acquisitions / joint ventures under negotiation, INTQ's management projects US$22 million in sales during 1999 - a figure that we believe is easily achievable. If sales of IntelliFIX 2000 through AOL really take off, INTQ might do US$50 or US$60 million in sales this year!
Net income?
No estimates available, but if we use a conservative 15% net profit margin, INTQ might generate US$3.3 in post-tax earnings on the US$22 million sales figure – or, about ten cents per share, based on INTQ's 34.6 million shares currently outstanding.
Now, if we add in the potential sales from the AOL agreement, INTQ might add as much as US$15.6 million (45 cents/share) more in net earnings this year.
Together, that's 55 cents per share, and at a 15x to 20x multiple, that
suggests a potential equity market valuation on the order of US$8.25 to US$11 per share, compared to the 7x multiple that INTQ is presently valued at.
WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ADDING INTQ TO YOUR PORTFOLIO !!
INTQ is an emerging software company with a great future, and, we believe, strong potential for significant capital gains over the next six to twelve months.
Our enthusiasm for INTQ is based on several factors, including:
During the first half of 1999, INTQ has successfully placed its software
products in major national retail chains (Staples, OfficeMax, CompUSA) and is doing about US$1 million a month in retail sales. Major sales and distribution contracts have been signed for the IntelliFIX 2000 Y2K product line, and, with the growing concerns over Y2K, INTQ's estimated US$22 million in revenues for 1999 may prove to be conservative.
For the balance of 1999, the recently announced deal with AOL offers the potential for a doubling or tripling of INTQ's projected revenues. Just think - if only 10% of AOL's 17.3 million registered users purchase IntelliFIX 2000, INTQ could earn as much as US$15.6 million (net), and the company's total net earnings for 1999 could be over 55 cents per share. At a 15x to 20x multiple, that would suggest an equity market valuation of between US$8 and US$11 per share, far above INTQ's current trading range.
Keep in mind that IntelliFIX currently has a 35% market share, and that
consumers are only just beginning to realize that it is the only product on the market that can completely fix Y2K problems in software, hardware, operating systems and data files. Y2K is going to be where the action is going to be this summer and fall, and, with the best product, INTQ should perform very well.
Intelliquis also has a range of other innovative software products that
have been well-received in the marketplace, with at least two new Internet programs scheduled to be brought to market this fall. The quality, utility and value of INTQ's products has not gone unnoticed by the industry's major players - as shown by the recently-announced decision to bundle INTQ's Website Traffic Builder with Microsoft Office 2000 in a national promotion at more than 850 Staples superstores nationwide.
INTQ is growth-oriented company, and offers much more than a Y2K play, and there are more deals in the works. In the near future, INTQ plans to move into web broadcasting and direct marketing / e-commerce; two deals under negotiation could increase FY 2000 sales by US$140 to US$190 million. To support their aggressive acquisition and growth plans, Intelliquis has Bankers Trust firmly in their corner, and a US$10 million equity financing (the first tranche in a US$40 million package) is set to close in July.
