(Anmerkung: Diese Vorstellung wurde gestern im Thread "Australien" durchgefuehrt)
Durch meine Aktivitaet an den amerikanischen Broker-Boards, habe ich verschiedene Kontakte mit Amerikanern sowie Australiern knuepfen koennen. Die folgende Aktienvorstellung erfolgt somit nicht von mir, es ist die deutsche Uebersetzung der australischen Quelle. Ich werde Fragen und Anregungen, die bezueglich der Aktie und den Unternehmenszusammenhaengen enstehen, an die australischen Investoren weiterleiten.
Sino Securities Intl. Ltd. (SSI)
Sino Securities ist an der australischen Boerse unter dem Symbol SSI gelistet. An der deutschen Boerse findet man es derzeit unter dem Symbol XSS.
SSI is eine Investment Banking Gesellschaft, die hauptsaechlich chinesische Gesellschaften in Australien listet. Einige von denen sind, unter anderem, CIH, SCE, OLS(jetzt CHI, CPIH in den USA), CDL und WER (Gold Mining). All diese Gesellschaften sind waehrend den Zeiten der asiatischen Krise sehr erfolgreich gewesen.Diese fuehrte dazu, dass die Gesellschaften keine Floats ausgaben und dies beeintraechtigte das Einkommen. So haben diese Gesellschaften entschieden, auf sich selbst zu verlassen und sind in das Internet/Telekommunikation Sektor eingestiegen.
David Tam wurde eingestellt, ein sehr erfahrener IT Manager, der mit den entsprechenden Start-Up Kenntnissen ausgestattet war. Kurz davor verkaufte er seine damalige Gesellschaft an Cisco Systems. Er entwickelte ein System, mit dem man Hochqualitaets-Commercials ueber das Internet uebertragen kann. Dieses wurde in die GoConnect-Technologie namens GoTrek integriert.
GoConnect is ein kostenloser Internet Service Provider(ISP) und wird im Maerz mit dem Geschaeft beginnen. Momentan haelt SSI 70% Anteile, sie haben auch einen Aktienanteil strategischen Partnern verkauft, welche Aust. Media Holding, das fuhrende Unternehmen im Mediensektor, Simon Richards Group, dessen 50% durch Austereo Group gehalten werden, die wiederum teileise durch Village Roadshow gehalten werden, einschliessen. Weitere Partner sind Lucent Technlogy, Bekanntmachungen weiterer Prominenten soll in unmittelbarer Zukunft erfolgen.
Umsaetze und Profit werden durch Advertising erreicht. Laut SSI, GoConnect wird Ende Geschaeftsjahr 2001/02(Juni) profitabel sein. GoConnect hatte am 22. Februar 2000 ueber 165 000 registrierte Mitglieder, mittlerweile sind es ueber 200 000, und ist somit der drittgroesste ISP in Australien. Sie erzielen zur Zeit eine Mitgliederzuwachsrate von 4000-5000 pro Tag. Fuer Australien sind dies enorme Zahlen. GoConnect hob die Erwartungsschaetzungen fuer die naechsten 12 Monate von 500 000 auf 1 Million Mitglieder.
SSI wird 25% von GoConnect bald zum Listing an der Boerse bringen, fuer ungefaehr $100 Millionen. Diese wuerden einen Wert von GoConnect in Hoehe von $400 M erzielen, wobei SSI hier ueber 50% besitzen wird, bereinigt. SSI hat nur 14.1 Millionen Aktien im Umlauf und somit wuerde der Asking Price von GoConnect den Wert der SSI Aktie zu $14.18 erhoehen. Sollte die Aktie mit $2-3 gelistet werden, dann wuerde sich diese Zahl sogar 2-3 mal erhoehen. Wenn bloss 500 000 Mitglieder in 12 Monaten erreicht werden, und jedes
Mitglied $1000 wert ist, GoConnect haette demnach einen Wert von 500 Millionen, die Haelfte ist durch SSI gehalten, was bedeutet, dass 250 Millionen geteilt durch 14.1 einen Aktienwert von $17.70 per Aktie ergibt.
SSI besitzt weitere 25% von der Gesellschaft Multelink, die noch in diesem Jahr auf dem Aktienmarkt gelistet werden soll. Multelink hat ein System entwickelt, welches, wenn man telefonieren moechte, automatisch den preiswertesten Carrier waehlt. Dieses Geraet erlaubt es ebenfalls, E-mails zu empfangen und zu senden, ohne an einen ISP angeschlossen zu sein. Zur Zeit funktionert es mit STD/Long-Distance Telefongespraechen, demnaechst wird es auch bei oertlichen Gesprachen einsetzbar sein.
SSI hat additional eine Joint-Venture Gesellschaft, Dalian Government, von der sie 80% besitzen.
SSI gab 20% Dalian Government, und unter dem
Australischen Gesetz wurde ein Abkommen abgeschlossen, welches besagt, dass SSI jederzeit Business Venture nach und aus China nehmen kann, welches geeignet scheint, Dalian Governement wird jederzeit assistent sein und dieses voll unterstuetzen. Das wird sicherlich GoConnect enorm helfen, den China Markt zu erreichen.
In nicht allzu ferner Zukunft sind einige grosse Bekanntmachungen faellig. Es ist noch nicht ganz klar, wo Lucent in diesem Konzept einzustufen ist, und auch weitere Listingdetails sollten in Kuerze bekanntgegeben werden.
SSI Aktienbesitzer erhalten Prefaerenzen, soweit es sich um GoConnect handelt, und es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass ein starker Anstieg bezueglich Aktienkurses erfolgen wird, da die Aktie im Moment ziemlich unterbewertet ist. SSI hat in naher Zukunft grosse Projekte vor, die mit Dalian verbunden sind und augenblicklich ruhen, bis GoConnect gelistet ist und auf Hochtouren laeuft.
Ein paar Nebeninformationen:
SSI 52-Wochenhoch am Freitag, den 10. Maerz, 2000 $4.60.
Die Aktie ist in einem aktiven Aufwaertstrend, eine Bewegung von $2.7 bis 4.6$ erfolgte binnen 5 Wochen.
Es ist bestaetigt, dass GoConnect in Asien, Deutschland sowie Australien gelistet sein wird.
GoConnect Service startet im Maerz.
SSI soll australischen Geruechten nach, ein Potential bis $30 besitzen.

Die Aktie erreichte heute ein neues 52-Wochenhoch, und schloss bei 3,25 Euro, Boersenplatz Stuttgart.
Die Firma scheint in Deutschland noch voellig unentdeckt zu sein, da seit einem halben Jahr keine Umsaetze getaetigt wurden.
Erst heute wurden wieder 1000 Stueck im stuttgarter Handel umgesetzt.
Dies spricht fuer das Potenzial der Aktie, bekannterweise sollte man vor den Massen in einen Wert investiert sein.

Hallo,
Weitere Infos zu Sino Sec.(XSS), direkt von den australischen Investoren:
GoConnect-Mitglieder sollen ein Minimum im Wert von 2 000$ angeboten bekommen, und was XSS-Aktionaere betrifft, wenn man annimmt, dass sie fuer 1$ bzw. 100 000 Aktien ausgegeben werden, koennten 2 GoConnect-Aktien fuer 1 XSS-Aktie angeboten werden, das waeren dann 28.1Mio. Aktien bzw. Dollar.
Wenn 40Mio.$ nach Deutschland gehen, bleiben 31.8Mio.$ fuer GoConnect-Mitglieder uebrig.
Das Schoene an dem Ganzen ist, dass es nur 14.1Mio. XSS-Aktien gibt, so sie werden wahrscheinlich eine anstaendige Zuteilung ausueben, haengt auch davon ab, wieviele GoConnect-Mitglieder die Aktien wollen, oder was Sino meint, wieviele man haben wollen wird.
GoConnect startet mit dem Service bzw. Geschaeft entweder diese oder naechste Woche, und wahrscheinlich auch mit den Untenehmensplaenen sowie Geschaeftsprospekten.
Wenn jemand eine GoConnect-Zuteilung haben will, sollte er sich, um sicher zu gehen, diese Woche die Aktien ins Depot legen, bevor der Zug und die Chance abfahren.

Vorgeschichte:
http://www.goconnect.com.au/13.12.99.htmlSino set to float f…
By Ian Mcilwraith
The Age - 13 December 1999
Mr Richard Li`s Sino Securities is preparing a $75 million float of its free Internet service provider, GoConnect and already has an associate of the Village Roadshow group as an investor.
GoConnect, which will be run by the computer whiz Mr David Tam, is soliciting subscribers through its website, although the ISP will not open for business until March next year.
Shareholders in Sino were told of the float plans at the company`s annual meeting earlier this month by the chairman, Mr Bruce Mathieson, who revealed that other than Sino, Australian Media Holdings and the Simon Richards Group would become investors.
Mr Li said that SRG, a relationship marketer half-owned by Village through the radio broadcaster Austereo, had committed to taking a 7.5 per cent stake for $5.63 million.
AMH, recently taken over by Sportsworld Media for $56 million, is also taking 5 per cent.
Those deals form part of Sino`s commitment to raise $10 million in mezzanine equity for GoConnect ahead of its float.
GoConnect is also planning to list in Germany. Existing Sino shareholders and subscribers to GoConnect will get priority subscriptions.
A listing at that price would mean GoConnect`s market worth was double that of its parent, Sino, which is only valued at $37 million.
Although GoConnect`s business is not operating, Mr. Li said that an indication of its value was given this month when the United States company NetZero bought AimTV.
AimTV has developed technology to run broadcast quality television commercials over the Internet.
NetZero used a million of its shares to buy AimTV, worth $US21.4 million ($A33.7 million) at Friday`s closing price.
AimTV`s technology will dovetail into NetZero, which is building a similar business to that of GoConnect and has a market worth of $US2.2 billion. The US company has an on-screen device, known as the ZeroPort which links users to favorite sites and subjects.
The American company also helps advertisers target NetZero`s client base by gaining access to stored information on users` travels through the Internet.
Mr Li said GoConnect does not plan to be as intrusive to its customers, although those who sign up for free Internet access will inevitably surrender a portion of their computer screen to a permanent advertising display, which cannot be minimised.
"It`s about 6 per cent of the screen, on the top right hand corner, which is the least used part of the screen. You can move it around if you want to," Mr Li said.
"Every single ISP has software to build up user profiles, but we will absolutely respect the users` privacy"
The launch of GoConnect is, according to Mr Li, the first step down the road in Sino`s Internet strategy. "Sino is a true believer of the Internet. Just as the telegraph revoluntionised the telecommunications industry in its age, the Net is the telegraph of our age," he said.
"Once the ISP company is profitable, it then enables us to have another leap forward, to build our e-commerce strategy."
GoConnect`s managing director, Mr Tam, is best known for his involvement in the Australian computer company Labtam, which was swallowed by Sun Microsystems in the late `80s.
Mr Tam has helped develop GoConnect`s proprietary technology, GoTrek, for being able to broadcast high-quality commercials over the Internet.

http://www.goconnect.com.au/18.01.00.htmlISP goes after 500,000
By Simon Hayes
The Australian - 18 January 2000
YET another free ISP has set itself the half-a-million subscriber target, with GoConnect promising to hit the landmark within a year.
The Melbourne access provider which will begin services to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in March, said it had already signed 20,000 clients since launching its advertising campaign earlier this month.
Analysts, including Paul Budde, have dismissed the chances of any free ISP reaching the 500,00 mark, but the founders of GoConnect insisted the target was reasonable.
Managing director David Tam said conventional methods of analysing demand for Internet access could not be applied to the free model, because many people would choose to have multiple accounts.
"In the paid access model, the family only has one registration," he said. "Because this is free there`s an opportunity to do multiple registrations. We have no intention of restricting users just to us."
Mr. Tam said access to infrastructure was assured because the company would outsource its entire network. While he was not willing to reveal the network provider, he said the company would not be as reliant as other ISPs on Telstra providing lines.
"Telstra is important but is not a critical element," He said "We`re looking at outsourcing the whole thing because we`re not a carrier."
GoConnect would deliver movie-like streamed media advertisements through an unclosable window, Mr. Tam said.
GoConnect is 70 per cent owned by investment bank Sino Securities, the China-focused financial group that last year invested in the Multelink SmartPhone.

GoConnect Free ISP
Starts with PowerTel Advantage
By PowerTel and GoConnect
Press Release - 2 March 2000
GoConnect today announced the signing of an agreement with major Australian telecommunications carrier PowerTel for the provision of Internet dial-up access services.
Supported by the PowerTel network, GoConnect will commence Internet access for its members in March 2000. GoConnect has already secured in excess of 200,000 registered members. The Company is targeting to have in excess of 500,000 members before the end of this year, which will make it a dominant Internet service provider (ISP) in Australia, offering free Internet access to its members.
PowerTel has developed a high quality, cost effective wholesale offering utilising its Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) fibre network and state of the art remote access servers. Unencumbered by outdated legacy style infrastructure, PowerTel has been able to realise and pass on direct fiscal benefits to customers such as GoConnect.
In keeping with GoConnect`s philosophy that Internet access should be free, GoConnect`s free Internet access service is not intended to place any restrictions on Internet access available to members. GoConnect`s revenue will be generated from advertising, delivered through its GoTrek proprietary technology, and e-commerce.
Mr Gary Dupler, CEO of Powertel, said "PowerTel intends to be a significant force in the Australian internet market. We are developing a state of the art network using an Internet Protocol centric backbone, provided by Cisco Systems and Nortel. The capabilities of this backbone will be sold to ISP`s on a wholesale basis with competitive pricing and flexible terms, enabling them to concentrate on marketing content and services directly to end-users. Our initial rollout will be in major cities including Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, with further plans to serve a large portion of the regional ISP market. We are very pleased to be selected as GoConnect`s network partner and look forward to contributing to their success."
Mr David Tam, Managing Director of GoConnect, said "We have achieved a major milestone today in the formation of a strategic business partnership with Powertel. This partnership ensures the delivery of a world class Internet access service to GoConnect members. Powertel being a shareholder in GoConnect Ltd further cements the partnership. In the longer term, this partnership will deliver significant value to our two companies."

We are very pleased to be selected as GoConnect`s network partner and look forward to contributing to their success."

This partnership ensures the delivery of a world class Internet access service to GoConnect members. Powertel being a shareholder in GoConnect Ltd further cements the partnership. In the longer term, this partnership will deliver significant value to our two companies."

GoConnect delays under high demand
By Adam Turner
The Age - 28 March 2000
Free thinker: David Tam is confident of
profits "within a certain number of months".
SOME subscribers to free Internet provider GoConnect won`t be online until mid-year because of high demand for the service.
The first users were connected earlier this month but a backlog of almost 300,000 means some could be left waiting until June, says GoConnect managing director David Tam.
"There are logistical issues that we are dealing with, which are a natural part of any large-scale project," says Tam. "We just ask for subscribers` patience."
GoConnect is one of the latest in a series of free Internet providers that have been launched in Australia. The service does not have any usage restrictions, but the trade-off is a separate advertising window that cannot be closed.
Judging by the public response to GoConnect, free Internet will become the dominant ISP model in Australia within a year, says Tam.
"This is a free-to-air-television model, except we don`t interrupt people," he says.
"The only restriction we have is that this is not for business purposes. It`s for personal use, not for generating profit."
Although Tam expects the advertising window to be an initial "psychological barrier" for users to overcome, it is small enough to sit over the tool bar without covering the viewing window. The system employs GoConnect`s GoTrek system to deliver video advertisements linked to advertisers` websites. Unlike streaming technology, GoTrek does not to impinge on users` download times, says Tam.
"We`ve got a very smart use of the bandwidth and we don`t impede on the normal user traffic. That`s the key to it. It makes no sense for us to come up with a service that is inferior to the existing ISPs," he says.
"Even if you are free, people don`t use it because it is free, they use it because it is a good service and so we`re looking at a very high quality service."
Using customer profiles, GoConnect can target advertising according to demographics, time of day and users` surfing habits. The company aims to provide close to real-time feedback to advertisers, which, Tam says, will take the guesswork out of calculating an advertisement`s effectiveness.
Subscribers will also benefit from the system, he says.
While many dot-com startups appear to have a licence to burn money, Tam is confident GoConnect will see profits "within a certain number of months".
Owned by Sino Securities, the company wants to expand throughout the Asia Pacific region and may be floated later this year.

Der Vergleich zwischen NetZero und GoConnect ist nicht authentisch. Zwar haben die beiden dasselbe Businessmuster, durch Advertising den Profit zu generieren, jedoch unterscheidet sich die Art und Weise der Advertisements.
NetZero nuetzt eine Art Banner, der alle paar Sekunden das Bild wechselt, und durchs Flattern einen Qualitaetsverlust erleidet. Bei der GoConnect-Technologie namens GoTrek handelt es sich um eine Art kleinen Fernseher, der in Form eines kleinen Quadrats im Eck des Schirms zu sehen sein wird, die Surfgeschwindigkeit dabei nicht verlangsamt, und mit den TV-Commercials gleichzusetzen ist. Somit duerfte GoConnect viel schneller in die Gewinnzone kommen, als z.B. NetZero. Eine vergleichbare Technik gibt es nicht, Robert Tam bewies hier seine Genialitaet. Der Ansturm zeigt sich in 300 000 Subscriber innerhalb 3 Monaten. Die Partnerschaft mit Powertel, einem der groessten Telekommunikationsunternehmen in Australien, garantiert den Erfolg.
Kursziel fuer Sino Securities, die Firma die 70% Anteile an GoConnect haelt, betraegt 30$, australische, aktuell bei 5$.

GoConnect negotiates leap into China
By Ian McIlwraith
The Age - 3 June, 2000
Fledgling free Internet service provider GoConnect is negotiating a joint venture with one of its largest counterparts in China, Capital Online.
GoConnect, which yesterday said that it had fulfilled its commitment to offer its free ISP connections to another 60,000 subscribers, hopes Capital will pick up its unique interactive advertising technology.
Speaking from Beijing yesterday, GoConnect managing director David Tam confirmed he was talking with potential partners there, but said it was too early to say what the outcome might be.
Capital Online, he said, had a customer base of 500,000 Internet subscribers, two million e-mail accounts, and expansion plans in five other cities.
While capital is a pay ISP, linking with GoConnect would mean a decision to switch to providing free access to customers and obtaining revenue from the resident advertising window created by the Australian company`s technology. The GoConnect window in Australia is currently running high-quality reproductions of television ads of 15, 30 and 60 seconds to its subscribers at the rate of about one every two minutes. Subscribers can click through on the ads to the advertiser`s portal.
It has 40 ads and 14 big-name advertisers on trial until they commit to contracts, according to sales manager Ken Smith.
The group, controlled by Richard Li`s Sino Securities International, is still looking at a public issue, even though the market for Internet-related stocks has chilled significantly.
GoConnect is also working to overcome the stigma of its clash last month with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for overpromising.
In spite of signing more than 400,000 potential customers, GoConnect has been able to offer connections to only 72,000 subscribers due to its carrier, PowerTel, having difficulty securing sufficient Public Switching Telephone Networks links from Telstra.
