Warthog, Arithmetic error in your first quarter guestimate. $650,000 divided by 40 million equals $.01625 (not $.04).

<<< 1998 1st Quarter = (2,100,000)/4 * 30% increase = 650,000.
<<< estimate of #shares 1st quarter 40 M. 1st Quarter eps = 4 cents.

$650,000/40,000,000 = $0.016 not 4 cents.

Thanks for your succinct analysis. I've read many posts on this thread and have missed the answer to the following question, "Why are there 30 million more shares out there now?" A piece of it covers the equity line of credit that they have. Is that all of it or some of it? The Myriad deal did not require any stock, or did it?

MY Estimated 12-MONTH INCOME PROJECTION for FAMH (Updated 4-28-98)...

NOTES:
1) Firamada expects a growth rate for their existing offices of between 23-30%. So I have taken an average growth rate of 25%.

2)Firamada expects to have gross margins slightly higher than the industry averages (around 28% for FAMH vs about 22% for Industry Average) with pre-tax profits of about 20% of gross margin. This means Operating Expenses are about 80% of gross margin.

3) However, Myriad margins have been figured at or below industry averages because employee leasing is handled differently (around 18% gross margin).

4) The IT Division should have a considerably higher gross margin (about 95% or more) with pre-tax profits of about 70% of gross margin. That means Operating Expenses are about 30% of gross margin.

****************************
PROJECTIONS:
****************************
FIRAMADA'S ORIGINAL 5 OFFICES:
SPECIAL NOTE:
For the sake of "argument," I am presenting a conservative profit margin of ONLY 5.6% (even though other staffing companies profit margins run as high as 7.2%). So I have "chopped down" FAMH profit margin numbers to place them well within the range of other companies in the industry. I figure if FAMH has higher margins, that's just "gravy."


12-Month Projected Revenue = $10.625 million
$10.625 million x 28% Gross Margin = $2.975 million
Less Operating Expenses of about $2.38 million =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $595,000

MYRIAD:
(The number of leased employees have increased 30% to 6500, and more are expected. But I have just used the 6500 figure along with normal growth for this calculation. For Myriad I am using a profit margin of ONLY 3.6%)

12-Month Projected Revenue = $69.75 million
$69.75 million x 18% Gross Margin = $12.555 million
Less Operating Expenses of about $10.044 million =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $2,511,000

NEW OFFICES & 3 SMALL ACQUISITIONS:
12-Month Projected Revenue = $8 million
$8 million x 28% Gross Margin = $2,240,000
Less Operating Expenses of about $1,792,000 =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $448,000

IT DIVISION:
Average 100 annual placements (2 per week) at $50,000 each.

12-Month Projected Revenue = $5 million
$5 million x 95% Gross Margin = $4.75 million
Less Operating Expenses of about $1.425 million =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $3,325,000

WORKMAN'S COMP INS PROCESSING:
Firamada has over $100 million in workman's comp billings to put thru their offshore captive and make $2-3 per $100 processed. That amounts to...

$100,000,000 divided by $100 x $2.5 = $2,500,000
Less Operating Expenses of about $750,000 =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $1,750,000.

MORTON DOWNEY JR TALK SHOW:
This is based on this TV Show running 5 days per week. FAMH
has indicated that the revenue to Firamada ALONE will be about
$100,000 - $125,000 per show. I have used the lower figure of $100,000.


12-Month Revenue = 50 weeks x 5 days x $100,000 = $25 million
Less Operating Expenses of about $12.5 million =
Annual Pre-Tax Profit of $12,500,000

PAYROLL FINANCING DIVISION:
This division had Net Profits of $374,000 for the 1Q 98.
12-Months = $374,000 x 4 Qtrs =
Annual NET PROFIT of $1,496,000

ONE-TIME EXPENSE ITEM:
$1 Million Cash Payment to IRS for Myriad
Non-recurring Expense Item = $1,000,000

12-MONTH NET PROFIT (Projected)................... $ 13,173,400

**********************************
EPS CALCULATION:
(NOTE: Now, again, for the sake of "argument," let's even assume that warrants for the $12 million line of credit could cause additional shares. Let's figure as many as 24 million additional shares (accounted for by figuring 24 million shares at .50 per share = $12 million). That means I am allowing for a generous 75 million shares outstanding. And I think this is a VERY LIBERAL Assumption for Shares Outstanding!!

$13,173,400 divided by 75MM = $0.1756 EPS

Keep in mind, I have NOT reduced the outstanding shares even thought FAMH is "Buying-Back," NOR have I reduced anything for shares that will be cancelled because they will not have to be used for the Myriad deal.

12-MONTH PROJECTED PRICE PER SHARE:
Using an EPS of $0.1756 times an industry P/E multiple of 30, I think we would see a price of $0.1756 X 30 = $5.26.

>>>FAMH at about $5.26 per share 12 Months from now.<<<

(This would be an increase of about 1100% over the current price.)

These are MY ESTIMATES based on the situation as I SEE IT. I am NOT an investment advisor and I am NOT associated with any company anywhere. Everyone is encouraged to do their own research and do only what fits their own comfort level.

Best wishes,
Brad
