IPA Estimates SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. Potential Future Value could
be in excess of $500 Million
CLEARWATER, Fla --(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 30, 2004--SkyWay Communications
Holding Corp. ("SkyWay") announced today receipt of a Preliminary Indication of
Value (PIV) Report prepared by IPA Advisory & Intermediary Services, LLC, ("IPA
A&I) a related company to International Profit Associates, Inc., the largest
privately held business development company for small and medium size businesses
in North America. The Report, which was commissioned by the dupont Investment
Fund as part of their Funding Agreement with SkyWay Communications Holding
Corp., estimated as of July 31, 2004 the potential future valuation of 100
percent of the equity of SkyWay (SWYC) to be in excess of $500 million pending
the company meeting its pro forma projections.
The valuation process included an overview of the Company and the environment in
which it operates, an analysis of the Company's financial statements, a
discussion of the valuation methods, calculations and information that was
reviewed and analyzed; and support for the conclusions that were reached in
arriving at the future value estimate for SkyWay.
The Report indicated a potential future value in excess of $500 million could be
achieved assuming the successful execution of required funding and achievement
of performance of Milestone II related to SkyWay's business plan. According to
Brent Kovar, President of SkyWay, "We are well on our way to achieving Milestone
II. It is also important to understand that our current market cap of
$54,900,000, based on current outstanding common shares, as of November 29, 2004
does not reflect the true potential of SkyWay, which is prepared for explosive
growth in 2005 and beyond. We believe IPA A&I's independent third-party
valuation represents a more realistic estimate of value than the current market
price of our stock, and should position SkyWay to obtain a better standing with
the investment community and attract additional long-term funding." Jim Kent,
CEO of SkyWay noted, "We are very pleased with the findings in this independent
valuation report. We believe SkyWay's value is more accurately derived based on
fundamentals rather than supply and demand at any given time, which is often the
case for stocks traded on OTCBB."
