Overnight. Two weeks ago, we Alerted SmallCap Digest readers to state of the art Internet access firm Superclick Inc (OTCBB: SPCK). We noted then that the company planned to triple its current installation base of 55 properties to 150 by year-end 2004. Well, it's only March and as the attached press release notes, the company has secured an exclusive contract for 30 property installations from international hotelier Westmont Hospitality. Superclick will likely have to raise that 150 target. Upward. In fact, with 85 announced installations Superclick has more than surpassed the halfway point of reaching its previous 150 milestone. And there's still 9.5 months left in 2004. Accumulation of Superclick shares between 50 and 65 cents is strongly recommended for risk-oriented investors --based on the company's ability to acquire significant contracts as well as the low penetration (4.5 percent) of the business travel high-speed Internet access market. With the recent announcement of John Glazik as president and CEO, the company is well positioned to exceed its goals for 2004. Mr. Glazik brings extensive senior management acumen by way of substantial experience and expertise in the telecommunications and technology sectors; with both startups and Fortune 500 companies.  The other nugget in the announced contract represents an extension of the 14 Westmont properties already served by Superclick. There's little that speaks better and highly validates a technology as much as the deepening of a business relationship with an existing customer. Westmont Hospitality holds ownership interests in 250 hotels in North America and 130 properties in Europe.  More and more, business travelers are seeking out (read demanding) robust and easy to use high-speed Internet access when making hotel choices. This technology is quickly becoming not only expected by travelers, but as a source of loyalty for both initial and repeat bookings. If a property doesn't have high-speed internet access and the one across the street does, the hotel will likely miss or lose the booking to that competitor as well as the ever-elusive, highly coveted (and profitable) long-term customer. We firmly believe that Superclick will exceed its stated installation goal of 150 properties by year-end 2004. Further, we believe that risk-oriented investors who begin accumulation of shares now will participate in this growth as new contracts appear and the company continues its R&D to stay well ahead of competitive offerings. Speaking of competitors, there are a few in the space and we will detail comparisons in future pieces. One such company is Canadian firm Guest-tek that boasts 400 installations and trades at a share price of C$8.50 ($6.40).  Back of the envelope calculations for SPCK's share price potential: the market cap of Guest-tek is $85 million and Superclick is $11.5 million. If Superclick merely hits its goal of 150 installations, that would make it roughly 40 percent of the size of Guest-tek currently. With 23 million SPCK shares outstanding, at 40 percent of Guest-tek's market cap, Superclick--with only 150 installations-- could well rise to a market cap of $34 million, or around a $1.50 a share by year-end. Or better. As I said, back of the envelope, as there are certainly other fundamental considerations. The point is that given the values currently assigned to competitors, Superclick seems a compelling value here. Given Superclick's potential as well its corporate progress to date, at least a modest position in the smallcap portion of a portfolio appears to have a very decent risk/reward profile. 'Cause it likely won't be cheap forever.     PRESS RELEASE WESTMONT HOSPITALITY SELECTS SUPERCLICK NETWORKS AS ITS PROPERTY INTERNET SERVICE & SUPPORT PROVIDER LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Mar 11, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Superclick, Inc.
