Und noch ein Artikel von gestern:
Creative Master Gets Creative With Future

By Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
February 17, 2000

Remember back in late 1998 when the "dotcom" craze was picking up and
companies you`d never heard of were rewarded with fat one- or two-day stock
price movements by adding an Internet suffix to their names or buying tiny online
start-ups completely unrelated to their core businesses in hopes of quickly
reinventing themselves? Thank heavens that`s over!

Except it turns out it`s about as over as the "Police Academy" series was after
Mahoney graduated. Today, Hong Kong-based die-cast collectible car maker
Creative Master`s (Nasdaq: CMST) shares zoomed up as much as 160% after
the company announced plans to buy PacificNet.com, described in press-release
buzzwordese as "an Internet start-up company headquartered in Minneapolis
USA and Hong Kong that focuses on trans-Pacific B2B e-commerce."

For this privilege Creative Master will give 21 million new shares in its company to
the owners of PacificNet.com -- a group including Hong Kong mobile
telecommunications interest Fortune Tele.com, Hong Kong investment company
China Tire Holdings (NYSE: TIR) parent China Strategic Holdings and its
chairman, Oei Hong Leong. Based on last night`s closing numbers, that about
quadruples Creative Master`s total shares outstanding and equals more than $80
million.

China Strategic Holdings paid $4 million for a 30% stake in PacificNet.com in late
November, implying a total value of about $13 million. This is a bit
eyebrow-raising to say the least, since Creative Master is essentially saying it
values the company it bought at four times itself. Evan after today`s close Creative
Master is valued at about half what it paid for PacificNet.com.

Creative Master will probably complete the transformation by selling the meat and
potatoes of its business, which had $41 million in 1999 revenues and about $3
million in net income, to a group led by its CEO and a few other investors. Though
that`s not for certain, if that`s the way it does go through, the specifics of this
transition may be a telling sign of the legitimacy of the PacificNet.com venture.

As to PacificNet.com, not to be confused with California Internet access services
company PacificNet, not much can really be taken from the company`s website
except that it apparently offers customers an integrated e-commerce system
including front-end (Web hosting and design) and back-end (processing and
fulfillment) services. According to CEO Tony Tong, incredibly no relation to
Creative Master CEO Carl Tong, PacificNet.com has more than 1,000 corporate
customers signed up to use its eMerchant2000 order management software
(which isn`t new but recently updated).

It would be nice to see an S-1 or some similar corporate filing from
PacificNet.com to get a better idea of the business and its financial dynamics, but
of course the company managed to skirt that by essentially using Creative Master
as a shell to get itself traded on U.S. exchanges -- you could read it the other way
around as well, I suppose -- without going through all that nasty work.

Still, today might as well be considered the IPO for PacificNet.com, though a
truer moment will arrive when Creative Master unloads its boring old toy business
to become a pure online B2B play -- and a moment of truth is due when we finally
get to see some financials.


Leute, ich glaube, dass ist eine riesen Chance! Heutige Kursschwäche zum Einstieg nutzen!

PacificNet.com.

Under the purchase agreement, the current owners of Pacific.Net would receive 21 million new shares in Creative Master, representing a substantial majority
interest.

The current shareholders of PacificNet.com are investment holding company, China Strategic Holdings , Oei Hong Leong, chairman of China Strategic and Fortune
Tele.com Holdings Ltd , a Hong Kong-listed mobile telecommunications company.

The statement said the the acquisition would transform Creative Master into a China-US B2B e-commerce company.

Acma said in the light of a shift in focus, the existing business of Creative Master might be sold to a group led by management and an Acma subsidiary.

At 0812 GMT, Acma was up 9.35 percent or S$0.13 at S$1.52 after hitting a high of S$1.58 earlier. Volume was more than 6.0 million shares.

Our Vision

PacificNet.com believes that the next major phase of Internet growth will be driven by
the emergence of commerce and other interactive business applications of the Web.
With the right software, the same general purpose, worldwide network that has been
used to display content and to manage communications and e-mail can also be
harnessed to manage electronic commerce transactions conducted on the Internet as
well as Intranet applications within an enterprise.

In business-to-consumer electronic commerce, businesses can directly reach a
worldwide customer base with little incremental distribution cost through the creation
and management of Internet "stores". In addition, businesses are beginning to take
advantage of the fact that other businesses with which they need to interact, including
customers, suppliers and distributors, are increasingly using the Internet. Traditionally,
many large companies have built private networks to communicate with their largest
customers, suppliers and distributors. Today, the Internet`s worldwide accessibility can
make Internet-based data communications cost effective and available to organizations
of all sizes.

Although the advantages of the Internet are compelling, the growth of electronic
commerce applications has been limited to date, primarily because Internet software
capable of effectively and securely managing business solutions has not been
available. As electronic commerce and other applications of the Web and Web
technologies evolve, PacificNet.com believes that businesses increasingly will require
software solutions that have the following features: central management of shared
services; multi-faceted security; controlled and selective access; high performance and
scalability; openness and flexibility.

Let´s go!!!
