Stock Performance
Valuation DCF valuation method yields an intrinsic price
of approximately $9/share vs. $12.50 mkt price Assumptions:
Abnormal sales growth of 15% for years 1-5 Transitional sales growth of 10% for years 6-10 Steady state sales growth of 5% WACC = 10%
Sell Rationale Earnings very unpredictable due to dependence
on success of very diverse portfolio of assets Major other-than-temporary declines in value of
primary assets in 2000 & 2001 makes it difficult to treat as non-recurring
Projected negative earnings through FY 2002 Near term appreciation would likely be momentum
driven
Recommendation
SELL 520 SHARES AT THE MARKET
