LOCM - Information for the Uninformed 21-Oct-11 11:11 pm Dear Local.com (LOCM) investors & traders, I want to give you basic information regarding LOCM, which has had its share of challenges this year. This has been their boldest year, also. They have met the challenge of the yahoo/bing severance earlier this year with a new alliance with Google, (and Yahoo came crawling back!). These facts are very positive for LOCM. In addition, LOCM has been brave enough to make key purchases in order to fulfill their own plan and agenda to become a top competitor in the local adspace sector of the internet, partnered with Google (recent commencement of a 2-year contract agreement) who is helping to mastermind this plan, it is also rumored. These acquisitions have been and are presently being integrated into a working model, this has been a great challenge for them this year, a challenge they have met with diligence. This will be one of many keys to future profitability for LOCM and its shareholders. Some of the acquisitions are already profitable, such as Spreebird/ScreaminDailyDeals which is outperforming in the geographical areas of operation, and this one acquisition is expanding rapidly. LOCM was awarded a patent recently, a very broad local search patent that has the bigger local search companies scrambling to draw legal lines because it seems there are serious overlaps between these companies and LOCM with its broad patent now, all positive for LOCM. The coming IPOs of Groupon and LivingSocial are also positives for LOCM, as the interest and media coverage of these events heat up with regards to the local adspace sector of the internet.
The rumor mill has once again spit out possibilities of an LOCM buyout similar to the rumor last year of Google wanting to buy LOCM. Remember also that Google offered huge money earlier this year for Groupon, but Google was turned down on their very generous offer (does Google have an axe to grind?). Now that LOCM is partnered with Google with a 2-year contract beginning August 1, 2011, one can extrapolate that the two will try to be an opposition player against the other local search giants. This industry is still in its infancy, and is picking up steam year over year, with some amazing high-dollar revenue projections for the coming years. Companies in general worldwide are switching to an internet-based type of targeted local marketing where they can more efficiently make use of their advertising dollars, in the face of faltering economies and shrinking budgets. Let's face it, the yellowpages is going to be replaced by this local search sector of the internet.
LOCM has recently added cell phone search applications to their barrage of artillery, and they can check that off of their list of things to do this year; expect many improvements in that department for use with all cell phones and services. The timing of these accomplishments is right in line with the pending IPOs of Groupon and LivingSocial. LOCM with its key partnerships and acquisitions of the past year are poised to be in direct competition with the big boys, and looks more and more like a takeover candidate (who might it be?) The LOCM share price has been hammered down this year to an oversold condition. LOCM may be set to surprise with neutral to positive 3rd quarter earnings reporting. Factoring in everything, including sheer seasonality LOCM may, in all likelihood, be a bargain at these historic share price lows, and shortsellers may find themselves in a serious pickle sooner rather than later. At a minimum, Local.com makes for a very interesting story, one worthy of consideration. Long may you run!
Disclosure: I am long LOCM & I intend to buy more on any sustained weakness.
Most important for the value of ICG Group is the value of ICGCommerce: Revenues of ICGCommerce in 2011 will be about 126 million. That would be by 3.5-times-revenues a fair value of 441 million for ICGCommerce. 81% of ICG Group on ICGCommerce are about 357 million. That are by the from 37 million to 36 million reduced outstanding shares = $9.92 from ICGCommerce alone.
Next highest value after the 81% on ICGCommerce have after my estimates the 36% of Starcite. Revenues of Starcite in 2011 will be about 52 million. That are by a fair value by 3-times-revenues of 156 million. 36% of 156 million = 56 million.
100 million cash + 357 million value of the 81% of ICGCommerce + 56 million value of the 36% of Starcite = 513 million. That are 36 million outstanding shares = $14.25/share.
100 million cash/securities + 357 million from 81% of ICGCommerce + 56 million from 36% of Starcite + 45 million from the 50% of Channelintelligence = 558 million. If you divide this 558 million through the 36 million outstanding shares = $15.5/share. And additional free of charge are all companies without ICGCommerce Starcite and Channelintellence.
Revenues of Freeborders in 2011 will be about 34 million after about 29 million in 2010. That is by low 3.5-times-revenues a value of 119 million. Value of the 31% of Internet Capital = 37 million.
100 million cash/securities + 357 million from 81% of ICGCommerce + 56 million from 36% of Starcite + 45 million from the 50% of Channelintelligence + 37 million from 31% of Freeborders = 595 million. If you divide this 595 million through the 36 million outstanding shares = $16.5/share. And additional free of charge are all companies without ICGCommerce Starcite, Channelintellence and Freeborders.
Revenues of Whitefence will be about 22 million in 2011. That are by 2.5-times-revenues = 55 million. Value of the 36% of Internet Capital = 20 million.
100 million cash/securities + 357 million from 81% of ICGCommerce + 56 million from 36% of Starcite + 45 million from the 50% of Channelintelligence + 37 million from 31% of Freeborders + 20 million from 36% of Whitefence = 615 million.

And additional free of charge are all companies without ICGCommerce Starcite, Channelintellence, Freeborders and Whitefence.
Revenues of Govdelivery will be about 14 million in 2011. That are by 3.5-times-reveneus = 49 million. Value of the 93% of Internet Capital = 46 million.

Press Release: ICG Group, Inc. – Mon, Nov 14, 2011 9:00 AM ESTShare0EmailPrintCompanies:ICG Group, Inc.RELATED QUOTESSymbol Price Change
ICGE 8.33 0.00
WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 14, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICGE - News) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a $25 million increase in authorized stock buybacks under the Company's share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $50 million. Since the implementation of the program in 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares for an aggregate of approximately $20.5 million. Taking into account the additional $25 million authorization and the cash used for prior repurchases, the remaining amount authorized under the share repurchase program is approximately $29.5 million.
"This expansion of our repurchase program highlights our confidence in ICG's long-term growth potential, and underscores our commitment to enhancing stockholder value," said Walter Buckley, ICG's Chairman and CEO. "We are pleased to have the financial flexibility to opportunistically allocate our capital to this share repurchase program while maintaining our focus on driving growth at our companies and executing on our strategy."
Share repurchases under this program will be made from time to time through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, regulatory restrictions, market conditions and corporate liquidity requirements.

Revenues of ICG Commerce in 2011 and 2012
Revenues of ICGCommerce will be in 2011 about 124 million and increase in 2012 to about 124 million.
That are by 3.5-times-revenues on the base of 124 million revenues = 434 million. Internet Capital owning now 81% (I believe they will do all do increase the ownership) = 351 million.
I am sure, that ICG Group can reduce the number of outstanding shares through repurchases to about 33 million in 2012. If you now divide the 351 million from the 81% of ICG Commerce through 33 million shares = $10.63/share from the ownership on ICGCommerce alone.
Cash in 2012 = About $ 3.50/Share
Cash in 2011 was above 100 million and increased additional 25 million through the sale of Starcite, but will get back to about 100 million throug 2012, if repurchasing of shares to about 33 million will going on.
