A Few Reasons to Own HYTT: 1. HYTT recently went public via a reverse merger. The previous 30 day average daily trading volume of the public company has been over 300,000 shares per day.
2. HYTT is no start-up, rather an experienced and cautious company that has been, for the most part growing year after year and has survived a tough market in its industry.
3. HYTT Annual Sales were $30.9M in 2000, $29.1M in 2001 and estimated $30M in 2002. Financial projections for Revenues are estimated at $65M in 2003 and $100M in 2004, and to be profitable based on potential acquisition opportunities.

5. As market conditions improve in the technology industry, HYTT is positioned to grow without significantly increasing the number of its employees. As sales increase, profitability will grow exponentially.
6. HYTT’s upper management team consists of hard working individuals who are extremely motivated because the majority of their overall compensation is based on making HYTT successful!
7. HYTT has the ability to rapidly grow and list on the NASDAQ Small Cap or NASDAQ National Market.
UPDATE
Great News! HYTT is back in business and making deals as they should. We doubt that a school district would ever award a $1.5 Million Dollar contract to a company that would not be around to fulfill the terms of the agreement over time.
Like we said in our previous update, there has to be a reason WHY AN INVESTOR WOULD INVEST $1.5 Million BUCKAROO’S IN HYTT.
Maybe, in our opinion, the fundamentals of HYTT looked good to the Private Investor and all that needed to get done was to put up a few Buckaroo’s ( $1.5 Million Dollars) to clean up HYTT’s Balance Sheet, to get HYTT moving in the right direction.
Well, still no New PR regarding details of a restructuring or the STATUS of Mercatus (the potential short seller), but you can rest assure when that PR is available HYTT will release it.
We think this type of PR is Forthcoming and Imminent.
So keep a real, real close eye on HYTT, and as always Watch This Stock Trade!

Valuation
With a potential war looming with Iraq, the threat of terrorism, a weak economy, a sluggish stock market, companies continuing to disappoint in reporting quarterly results, and whatever bad things someone else can think of, life still goes on.
In fact, Blue Chip technology companies, such as, IBM, MSFT, and CSCO have recently announced their December quarterly results, whether one wants to perceive them as good or bad, the point is all these companies generated Billions in revenues and Billions in profits.
So, in our opinion life does go on, particularly in the Technology sector, whereby Hundreds of Billions of Dollars of products and services will be sold this year.
We believe, that it is clearly possible for HYTT to execute on their plan, because the Technology sector is so large, which makes it possible for companies like HYTT to become niche players and to succeed.
HYTT is projecting better than 50% revenue growth over the next 2 years, and to be profitable. One way to value a company is to look at its peers in the industry. According to Multex, relative to comparative companies within the Technology Sector, HYTT could possibly realize superior growth in business and earnings over the near-to-intermediate term period. A grouping of comparable companies within this sector currently trades at an average price to sales multiple of 4.15 times.
If HYTT were to trade today in the marketplace at one half the multiple of revenues as its peers (which is 2.07 times), then based on the company’s forecast of $65 Million Dollars in revenues for 2003, this would equate to a stock price of $5.61 per share. Which would be about a 150% Profit from current levels.
Conclusion
From experience, we have noticed that Micro Cap companies that recently begin trading publicly embark upon PR campaigns to get their name out into the public domain. Generally speaking, the PR is usually quite positive, that is why Micro Cap Companies go public, to get there name out and create value for future growth.
So, as always keep an eye on HYTT, and Watch This Stock Trade!
