Unscrambling Value:
Egghead, Past Chicken & Egg Stage

By Steve Harmon
Senior Investment Analyst
Internet.com
"Where Wall Street Meets The Web"

Its latest quarterly results show 100% Internet-based etailer Egghead.com (NASDAQ:EGGS - news) in transition from bricks
and mortar to clicks and modems. Our analysis shows that we think the worst may be over for EGGS and that with its cash,
brand and deals it could command a multiple at least in line with peer ONSALE (NASDAQ:ONSL - news) .

If EGGS can make it past the hatchling stage on the Web, and its deals with Yahoo, CNET, theGlobe, GeoCities, InfoBeat
and USA.Net seem to indicate it might be able to, then a peer valuation multiple of 2.6x annualized revenue may not be out of
line. That implies EGGS at $18 per share. May 7 it closed at just over $9.
