S.A. Advisory E-Mail Update
August 21, 1998
Dear E-mail Subscribers: http://www.saadvisory.com
Our "NEW" hard-copy newsletter is being released in the mail August 23,1998.
Within this document we cover various investment themes, namely fundamentally cheap investments that in our opinion will appreciate within 6 to 18 months.
Investing use to be a buy and hold function---now if the stock does not advance 100% within hours then it is assumed to be a "DOG". We are not that kind of newsletter or investor type!
Our "new" micro-mini cap investment opportunity featured in this e-mail in our opinion is the fundamentally cheapest stock under $1 in price for at least the past 12-months!
THE BRIEF STORY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CORP (FPCX)
CURRENT PRICE = $0.81
We intend to present the facts and a brief description of fpcx corporate activities--more in depth reporting please review newsletter, which we assume will be on-line during early next week! We of course, will e-mail you!
The company's principal business is merger communications and marketing services to financial institutions. The company has developed a particular expertise in providing services to banks with respect to communications concerning mergers and other business combinations, marketing and financial information software!

According to conversation with Mr. Finley, " the revenue and earnings trend line is anticipated to be a mirror image of the first six months of 98 continuing through 99."
Assuming that Mr. Finley's assumptions are correct, we have formulated a likely scenario for rev and E established for 98 & 99. We believe that with guidance, that $20M and .32 ending Dec 98 is worth a conservative valuation of $3.84 (based upon a PE of 12X). If we use the same parameters for 99, that is, a PE of 12X and E of .64, then our share valuation would conservatively be worth $7.68!!!!!!!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
When one considers the record levels of mergers that are being initiated with- in Wall Street, it is no wonder that fpcx has turned into an almost perfect investment opportunity due to the inefficient mechanics of the mini-micro cap marketplace. FPCX has strong rev, E, No Debt, CASH, a huge NOL, very attractive internal fundamentals and very experienced management and a share price that could be 9 to 10X the current price within 18 months.
We rate FPCX with the strongest BUY RECOMMENDATION that we can issue! (If you like seto or tgsk--this is surely for you!)
Please review lastest SEC filings and you will see what we SEE.
