Thank you for using Stock Analysis of Shopping.Com Thank you for requesting an analysis of Shopping.Com from ProGraphics. The ticker symbol for Shopping.Com is IBUY. IBUY is traded on the NASDAQ. otc bb PRICE: IBUY closed on 12/23/1998 at $14.10 per share. we favors steady, predictable performers. All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. A stock with an RS greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average of all stocks. A stock with an RS less than 1.00 is less predictable and riskier than the average stock. RT (Relative Timing): IBUY has an RT rating of 1.77. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RT of 1.77 is excellent. RT is a fast, responsive, short-term price trend indicator. It analyzes the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price behavior over the last 13 weeks; then reflects and projects the short-term price performance of the stock. Once a stock's Price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue that trend for the short-term. If the trend dissipates, RT will gravitate towards 1.00. Should the price change dramatically, RT will notice the crucial turning point. When warranted, it will explode from a Price low and dive from a Price high. All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. If RT is above 1.00,the stock's Price is in an uptrend. Below 1.00, the stock's Price is in a downtrend. : IBUY has a rating of 1.07. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an VST of 1.07 is fair. solves the dilemma of balancing Value, Safety and Timing. Stocks with high RV values often have low RS values, or stocks withlow RV and RS values have high RT's. How can we find the stocks with the best combinations of Value, Safety, and Timing? The classic formula (square root of the sum of the squares) handles this problem. It combines a set of forces into a single indicator for ranking every stock in the database. Stocks with the highest have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the ones to own for above average capital application. is tuned to give an "H" or "B" signal when a stock's price is approximately 10% above a recent low, and an "S" signal when the stock's price is approximately 10% below a recent high. High RV, RS stocks are favored toward receiving "B" REC's, and sheltered from receiving "S" RECs. STOP-PRICE: IBUY has a Stop-Price of 12.30 per share. This is 1.80 or 12.8% belowits current closing Price. VectorVest analyzes over 6,000 stocks each day for Value, Safety and Timing, and calculates a Stop-Price for each stock. These Stop-Prices are based upon 13 week moving averages of closing prices, and are fine-tuned according to each stock's fundamentals. In the system, a stock gets a "B" or an "H" recommendation if its price is above its Stop-Price, and an "S" recommendation if its price is below its Stop-Price. VOL(100)s: IBUY traded 255000 shares on 12/23/1998. AVG VOL(100)s: IBUY has an Average Volume of 250514. Average Volume is 50 day moving average of daily volume as computed by VectorVest. % VOL: IBUY had a Volume change of 1.8% from its 50 day moving average volume.

INDUSTRY: IBUYhas been assigned to the Software (Internet) Group. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 190 Industry Groups and 50 Business Sectors. IBUY has well below average safety with well below average upside potential. It reflects a stock which is likely to give well below average, inconsistent returns over the long term. The basic strategy of VectorVest is to buy low risk, high reward stocks. We suggest that Prudent investors buy enough high Relative Value, high Relative Safety stocks to keep the overall RV and RS ratings of their portfolios above 1.00. As you do this, you'll find that your risk will go down and your investment performance will improve. Not a bad combination. Thank you for your interest in ProGraphics.

do you know when in 1999 the restricted shares can be sold As indicated in the the previous message, I do not believe the 1.8 million shares issued via conversion are restricted in any way. The situation with the pre-IPO restricted shares has an aspect to it that I do not believe has been mentioned on the thread: While IBUY Form 144's first started being filed shortly after the IPO anniversary date, this was not because that was when the one year holding period expired. In a number of cases the one year holding period expired earlier. Instead this was the result of a lock-up agreement concerning these pre-IPO shares: Each holder of Common Stock who is an officer, director or key employee of the Company and each holder of Preferred Stock has entered into a "lock-up" agreement providing that such shareholder will not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company's Common Stock or any security or other instrument which by its terms is convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of the Company's Common Stock for a period of 12 months from the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representative. 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale after the effective date of this offering, an additional 802,000 shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale 12 months from the date of this Prospectus and an additional 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale from April 1999 through August 1999, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions of Rule 144. sec.gov FWIW, the same Edgar filing has the following interpretation of rule 144 restrictions: In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, an affiliate of the Company, or a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year, but less than two years, will be entitled to sell in any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately 40,020 shares immediately after completion of this offering) or (ii) the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Commission. Sales pursuant to Rule 144 are subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about the Company. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least two years would be entitled to sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitation, manner of sale provisions, notice or other requirements of Rule 144.
