RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: When shares of DoubleClick Inc. (DCLK, Nasdaq) surged 70 percent after the Internet advertiser kicked off its initial public offering on the Nasdaq last Friday (Feb. 20, 1998), NETZ jumped into our radar screen. We have followed NETZ for a while. Technically, NETZ is bottomed out, but DCLK's IPO is a trigger to make NETZ break out. The DCLK shares opened at $29, up $12 from the $17-a-share IPO price. DCLK sold 3.5 million shares, roughly a 20 percent stake in company, and raised $60 million -- nearly double the money it expected when it first filed to go public in December. The shares moved even higher in their first few minutes of trading, reaching as high as 31-3/4. Despite DoubleClick's lack of profits and slim revenues ($30 million), the offering has been one of the most talked-about deals in IPO circles this year, with audiences of fund managers jam-packed into the company's roadshows, analysts said. The draw was the potentially hot industry of advertising on the Internet. DCLK sells blocks of advertising across many different sites. It also points clients toward specific sites heavily trafficked by their target markets, and buys advertising space there. After IPO, DCLK now has a rough valuation of $450 million based on the 15 million outstanding shares. DCLK foresees losses into 1999 as it reinvests in international expansion. SOFTBANK is a major competitor of DCLK in the industry. Unlike DCLK, which considers its space the first-tier sites, SOFTBANK offers networks of upper-end second- and third-tier sites. Last December, former BMW Executive Ronald I. Meatchem agreed to join NETZ as Chairman and CEO. NETZ is well positioned to become a leader in the international market of providing Internet-based service technology with it's innovative technology and interactive advertising services under leadership of Mr. Meatchem. He is confident that the revenues of the company will be increased sharply to $300 million a year from $60 million of this year revenues within three years. Since NETZ is a non-reporting company, some information about the company's assets, liabilities, cash flow, debt and so on is not available to public. We were reluctant to recommend NETZ to our readers. But we strongly feel that NETZ is substancially undervalued after we compared it with DCLK and interviewed some members of the management They appear to be confident that the company's financials will surprise everybody, as they feel they have a better financial condition than DCLK. They expect the company's audited financiasl will be out as soon as possible.
