People, I think we are only seeing a small part of the big picture in HITT. It isn't only the site as we see it today. Something big must be down the road.

A few quotes from WIZZARDS April 20th post:

"You never know when an aggressive internet company such as this one would announce a deal with lets say an EBAY, or a MICROSOFT, or a CISCO SYSTEMS, or whoever."

"Remember, yes it is BB stock but filing for NASDAQ any day-Management as focused and aggressive as I have ever seen-$10M funding at hand with "unlimited" future funding-an expanding website soon-institutional investing - an aggressive add campaign with DoubleClick- exploding cash flow and profits-"jaw dropping" news to come any day."

How to value a formerly private company coming out of a reverse merge - Part I.

Basically, this is what happened. SCMI reverse split its shares, options and warrants to get down to a total outstanding of 8.0 million common shares.

(i) effect, prior to the merger (the "Merger"), a reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock and the common stock underlying all issued, outstanding and unexpired common stock purchase options, warrants and other rights to purchase its common stock in an approximate ratio of one share for each six to seven shares, options, warrants and rights so that the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares and shares to be issued and outstanding upon exercise of such options, warrants and other rights will be 8.0 million shares;

It then transferred all its assets and liabilities into a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary.

ii) transfer all of the Company's business, property and assets, tangible and intangible, to International Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("IHSI"), a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for 20.0 million shares of IHSI's common stock;

(iii) cause IHSI to assume all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, advise all holders of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company regarding such assumption, and use the Company's best efforts to obtain releases from the holders of such debts, liabilities and obligations and irrevocably indemnify Hitsgalore against all of such debts, liabilities and obligations;


Dividend to the SCMI shareholders of record on day before the closing of the merger, ownership of the subsidiary.

(v) transfer into an escrow or trust for the benefit of the Company's stockholders with a dividend record date of the business day next preceding the closing date of the Merger (the "Closing") of all of the 20.0 million shares of IHSI common stock referred to in (ii) above (the "Shares"), subject to as to delivery to such stockholders out of such escrow or trust to the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed by IHSI under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the dividend distribution of the Shares to the Company's stockholders.

Then merge with hitsgalore.com - the private company.

Following the reorganization of the Company, as described in the preceding paragraph, Hitsgalore, a privately owned company, is to be merged into the Company in exchange for the conversion of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Hitsgalore into 37.675 million shares of the Company's common stock. The Reorganization and Merger Agreement also provides for the issuance of up to an additional 4.0 million shares of the Company's common stock to consultants and professionals rendering services in connection with the proposed reorganization and merger and for acquisition costs and fees. Following the Merger, the name of the Company is to be changed to Hitsgalore (hereinafter referred to as the Company or Hitsgalore) and assuming consummation of the Reorganization and Merger Agreement, the Company will have approximately 49.675 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

A little info on hitsgalore.com - the private company.

Hitsgalore was organized in July 1998 and began beta operations in August 1998. It is engaged in the business as an internet search engine on the world wide web, has completed its beta testing and launched its website in November 1998. Hitsgalore reported revenues of less than $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and had revenues of $73,100 in January 1999.

How to value a formerly private company coming out of a reverse merge - Part II

Having set the stage, there are basically two ways one can value the private entity which is being acquired in a reverse merger.

1. Without getting into a number of complexities of private company valuation (e.g., minority and marketability discounts), one uses the price per share the day prior to the closing, multiplying that by the number of shares held by the formerly private company after the closing.

Normally this value would be construed as Fair Market Value, which is generally defined as the cash or cash equivalent price that a transaction would occur between a willing buyer and willing seller, both in possession of all relevant facts, and neither acting under compulsion to transact.

Unfortunately, the OTC-BB is almost invariably a market where the general public cannot get all the relevant facts hence this method would often fail to qualify as Fair Market Value.

or

2. Calculate the total net asset value of the public company the day prior to the merger. Divide that by the fully-diluted share count prior to the merger to derive a value per share. Multiply the derived value per share by the number of shares represented by the former private company the day after the merger.

In this particular instance, method 2 is far more appropriate.

I have seen estimates here on SI that the cash price for a "clean" OTC-BB shell range from $50 to $250 thousand dollars.

What do we have in this instance? This merger transaction created a "clean" shell; no assets except a listing, no liabilities.

For that clean shell, the owner(s) of hitsgalore.com had to give away 24% of their ownership of their pre-merger company.

8.0 millions shares to SCMI equity holders
4.0 million shares to in transactions cost (consultants et al)
12.0 Total

12.0 million shares (the cost) divided by post merger, combined company 49.675 million shares outstanding = 24% of the equity of the new company.

Well, the 24% of the equity of the post merger company was worth (giving the high side estimate) $250K. That means that the private company was worth (by the private owner's own calculation)

$791 thousand.

i.e., $250K * ( (1-.24)/.24)

If one attempts to calculate the value of the private hitsgalore.com using the method described in (1) (a market cap calculation based upon the closing share price) you get an irrational number. Irrational because no sane person who held 100% of a private something would pay many more times, in terms of their percentage ownership, for the "clean" shell. When you factor in the fact the former owners of the pre-reverse company now have liquidity, while the new majority owners are generally sitting on restricted shares, the calculation becomes more absurd.

So in the case of HITT, we have a company that it could be fairly argued had a worth of $1.04 (.791+.250= 1.041) million approx 6-8 weeks ago, and is now worth $1 billion.
