    Selected Analyst Commentary
 
 
 
 
 

    • "The market for Internet professional services within the U.S. utilities industry was $345MM in 1999 and is expected to grow to approximately $2Bn in 2003, with 30% of all utility business expected to be conducted on the Internet within the same time frame. Additionally, the market for Internet professional services within the U.S. local government market was approximately $500MM in 1999 and is estimated to reach approximately $2.8Bn in 2003. They provide Corinth with highly predictable and stable revenue streams"
 
 
 
 
 
• "As a pure play in consulting to utilities and local governments, Corinth enjoys strong brand recognition in the marketplace"
 
 
 
 
 
• "At 43.8x our 2001 cash EPS estimate, Corinth is trading at a significant discount to other iBuilders including Sapient, Proxicom and Predictive Systems"
 
 
 
 
 
• "Given the highly specialized verticals for which Corinth does work, it can be difficult for the firm to find consultants with the necessary skill sets"
                    Robertson Stephens (8/29/00)
 
 
 
 
 
• "While the company does not grow as fast as the rest of Web Integration group, we believe the company should trade up to the average multiple for the group, 4.2X (2001E Revenues), or $11 over the next 12 months"
                    Wit Soundview (8/30/00)
