In den nächsten Wochen und Monaten wird sich diese Aktie aller Wahrscheinlichkeit zu einem echten Highflyer entwickeln.
Es wird aus analaystischer Sicht sicherlich sinnvoll jetzt einzusteigen.
Die folgenden News machen deutlich was sich hier in der nächsten Zeit tun wird:

TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS UPDATE:

IDENTIKEY:
The Directors of Identikey have advised Union that they intend to proceed with the planned IPO. However,
given the current unsettled market conditions the timing of the IPO will be reviewed by the Board of
Identikey on a monthly basis.

The first Board meeting of Identikey was held on 1st June 2000. Union is impressed with the highly
effective Board of Directors that Identikey have appointed under the leadership of Chairman the
Honourable Jeff Kennett. Other directors appointed are Mr Mark Kefford (CEO), Mr Peter David (COO),
Mr Alan Beanland, Mr Adrian McCullagh, Mr Hans-Rudolph Moser and Mr Rob Murdoch. Identikey feels
that the strengths of its board members will play a significant role in the ongoing development of the
company.

Identikey have recently taken positive steps to increase their marketing efforts globally, which is being
reflected in increasing sales. Product demonstrations and participation at trade shows have commenced
in Asia in association with business partners, Byte Power and Computer Associates. An effective sales
force has been assembled in Europe, under Mr Peiter Versteeg, who has been appointed as European
Sales Manager. In the US, sales personnel have been secured and an office has been established under
the management of Mr Dennis Firenze. Sales in Australia have also improved significantly in the past two
months.

The Identikey web site (www.identikey.com) has been enhanced to include Mandarin to the existing
German and English versions. A Dutch version is expected to be added in the next few months.

RADIOCITY:
“RadioCity” have advised Union that they have joined forces with Microsoft Australia to promote low cost
usage of the Internet for audio and video netcasting. The partnership allows RadioCity to be a featured
content provider for the new Australian Media guide of the Microsoft Windows Media Player 7, supplying
streamed video. RadioCity see the teaming with Microsoft as raising the community awareness of the
business advantages of the emerging industry presently referred to loosely as “Streaming Video, Internet
Television and/or Webcasting”.

The association with Microsoft demonstrates RadioCity’s emerging position as an Australian Market
leader in this fast growing industry. This has been achieved from just one office in Brisbane. RadioCity is
targeting to establish additional offices in Sydney and Melbourne, from where 80% of the Australian
market is generated.

Union currently holds a 25% equity interest in RadioCity and to enable the expansion to take place, has
agreed to provide further funding to RadioCity. The funding will take the form of two convertible notes,
which shall involve a program of staged monthly drawdowns, that will be continued provided RadioCity
meets certain business targets agreed with Union by the due date each month.

The first Convertible Note will be for $1.8million, which if converted into equity will increase Union’s
holding to 53.125% of the total equity of RadioCity. A second Convertible Note of $1.2 million will be
made available subject to RadioCity meeting certain other business targets by the time the first
Convertible Note is fully drawn. If the second note is converted into equity it will increase Union’s holding
to 62.5 % of the total equity of RadioCity.

SHOPAHOLIC:
Shopaholic and Union have mutually agreed not to continue the investment opportunity previously
announced, whereby Union would earn a 32.5% equity interest in Shopaholic in return for an amount of
$A 2.5 million which Union proposed to inject into Shopaholic. This money is now available for other
technology investments.

MARKETING MANAGER:
In recognition of the fundamental need that all technology investments work in a highly competitive market
and need to maximize sales, Union has added to its technology advisory team Mr Stephen Kress.
Stephen is an American citizen who has considerable experience in marketing technology products and
companies in the U.S.A, Japan and Germany. His global marketing experience will add to the strong
“Union Technology Team” also comprising Mr Nick Conway (Technology Manager, who has strong
technology skills) and Mr Peter Sauerberg (CFO, with excellent corporate skills). This team has the role
of selecting, monitoring and nurturing all of Union’s present and future investments in technology. As a
result, evaluation of other investments continues.

Aufgrund dieser Meldung sehe ich keinen dramatischen Kursanstieg in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten.
Die eigentliche Meldung lautet ja wohl (im ersten Absatz), daß die IPO von Identiky irgendwann kommt, aber der Zeitpunkt noch nicht feststeht. Wann die Märkte sich soweit konsolidiert und wieder erholt haben, daß man Identiky an die Börse bringt, steht natürlich nicht fest.
Zusammenfassung: IPO von Identiky verschoben, neuer zeitpunkt steht nicht fest!

Oder sehe ich etwas falsch? Ich bin sehr interessiert daran, daß Union Capital mal wieder auf meinen Einstiegskurs von 0,34 kommt...! :-(
Allein es fehlt mir derzeit der Glaube an eine Verdoppelung des Kurses.
