***¶*** SEVU DUE DILIGENCE (up-dated) ****

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS on the Quality of GROWTH....

Companies whose Revenue and Earnings grow fast, say 200 to 300% per Year, usually do so through acquisitions... The drawback is Dilution of outstanding shares and/or Cash expenditure and accumulation of non-tangible Assets, such as Goodwill that has to be amortized over a period of time, thus reducing Net Earnings....

SEVU's Revenue/Orders GROWTH of 1100% so far this Year is REMARKABLE in that it's all INTERNALLY Derived... So there is minimum Dilution and no accumulation of useless intangible Assets...

SEVU DUE DILIGENCE (up-dated)

SEVU has already experienced around 1100% GROWTH in Sales/Revenue AND Orders in the first 11 Months of its 2000 Fiscal Year, compared to $1 Million in Revenue, last year...

1) First 3 Quarters *Sales/Revenue and pending Orders amounted to about $6 million, while Revenue from shipped Goods came to approximately $4,440,000...

Period                Sales/Revenue    Orders

1st Quarter: $421,000
2nd Quarter: $1,520,000
3rd Quarter: $2,500,000 $1,500,000+
4th to 11/27/00: $6,000,000+
Rounded TOTAL: $4,440,000 $7,500,000+
Please, note the Steady Sales/Revenue and Orders PROGRESSION towards the revised Goal of $23 Million in Sales/Revenue and Orders for the whole of 2000!


2) *Sales/Revenue and Orders are ramping up giving the following approximate aggregate results for year 2000 until 27th November....

$4,440,000 + $7,500,000 = $11,940,000

So, SEVU needs to Book another $11 Million in Sales and/or Orders, to reach its Year 2000 Target, which may or may not be achievable... In the meantime, compared to 1999, it has managed an 1100% increase and counting, entirely due to Internal Growth...

3) Highlights from 3rd Quarter 10Q.....

*SALES/REVENUE vs ORDERS: for the avoidance of any potential confusion, Revenue is recognized upon Shipping the Goods~~ However, since the Terms Revenue and Sales are often used interchangeably, for Goods sold in a Quarter for shipping into the following Quarter, the word Orders will be employed~~ So, over $1.5 Million of Orders received in the 3rd Quarter should become Revenue in the 4th....
