Dear Member,

One of the signs of the share market returning to normal is good companies making sensibly
priced Initial Public Offerings (floats). We believe that one of the best offerings of recent
times is Credit Corp. Credit Corp is one of a small number of companies which are
transforming the debt recovery business into a well managed respectable part of the
mainstream corporate world. We're very pleased to be co-sponsors of the float and to be
able offer allocations of shares to InvestorWeb members. All members can apply although in
the event of over subscription Diamond members will have priority.

For details of how to apply go to the Float Centre at

ABSTRACT PAINTING

HERE WE GO AGAIN

After a few years writing down the value of recently-bought assets and preserving its cash,
BHP has splashed once again into the big-project picture with its sizeable Algerian
petroleum plays. But, rather than the graceful re-entry its shareholders may have hoped for,
BHP has dive-bombed. For a company that has had its reputation badly damaged as a result
of its involvement the Ok Tedi venture, it seems that the Algerian investment is a case of
history repeating itself. It is difficult not to see "disaster" written all over this latest plunge.

THORPEDO DIVES INTO ESTAR

A personal testimonial from one of Australia's highest-profile sporting stars, Ian Thorpe, at the
eStar Limited prospectus launch in Sydney last week was probably one of the best PR
stunts of the year. Analyst David Parr takes a closer look at the market's fastest-growing
online trading system and assesses the growth prospects of the company. Mr. Albert Wong,
chief executive officer of eStar has also agreed to appear on your Premium Forum to answer
any questions prospective investors may have.

TECHNOLOGY ONE ON THE PREMIUM FORUM

Adrian De Marco, managing director of Technology One, considered one of the hottest
stocks on the market at present, talks to InvestorWeb members on the Premium Forum on
Tuesday 25 July. TNE boasts an excellent track record of revenue and earnings growth and
believes its impending roll out of new products and its aggressive focus on R&D will propel
shareholder value in the future. We advise members to post their questions as early as
possible to make sure their query is answered.

HotelsMotelsParks Ltd..... Niche Innovation at work.

Hotels Motels Parks Ltd is a good example of a solid business model with electronic service
delivery. The company is an unlisted IPO raising $500,000 with a low operating cost
business plan. The company is the first national resource in Australia for matching buyers
and sellers of hospitality properties. ASX listing to fund international expansion will be
considered.

The company charges a flat listing fee rather than a percentage of the property price. Users
are encouraged to access professional assistance. Help will be available from seeded
professional service suppliers, e.g.; lawyers, accountants, brokers and values. In addition
the website has potential for huge B2B interaction between hospitality property operators
and suppliers of goods and services such as breweries, air-conditioning contractors,
catering equipment suppliers, etc. For a small annual charge these industry players can
expose their products in an electronic "shopfront" .

This will be the only national service offering impartial data to buyers and sellers, in an
industry of approximately 20,000 properties. Other income streams include and industry
specific employment portal, property tenders and bids and a portal facilitating old equipment
disposal during property upgrades.
