NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- IManage CEO Max Panjwani managed to arrive at the St. Regis Hotel a few minutes early for the latest stop on his road show.

During this critical part of IManage's (IMAN: news, msgs) initial public offering, Panjwani faced 36 deal-weary fund managers.

"We could use a serious investor, someone who'll take a stake in the company and hold on to it," Panjwani said before the investor luncheon.

Rite of passage

He came armed only with IManage's financial track record, business model, PowerPoint presentation and personal charm. He was ready to smile and shake hands along with CFO Mark Culhane and bankers from lead underwriter BancBoston Robertson Stephens.

This is the road show, the grueling rite of passage for companies shopping for investors. It's also a dance of chance with fund managers looking to find new ways to make money among a bumper crop of more than 500 Wall Street newcomers this year.

Roadshows are normally closed to the press, but IManage allowed CBS.MarketWatch.com to attend the event Nov. 10 under an embargo on releasing articles until the end of the company's quiet period on Dec. 13.

Sleep deprivation

As Panjwani and other CEOs find out, the road show demands mean little sleep and few immediate results. There's a stream of meetings packed into a series of overworked days -- all on top of running their company.

ABCs of IPOs
Panjwani is holding his own. He appears energized, maybe a bit caffeinated, but composed. This is something he's been planning for years ever since he joined the company way back in 1995. IManage didn't rush to do its IPO. It decided to wait until it had a longer track record.

The objective of a road show is to get "subscribers" for the company's "book" of investors, in order to drive up demand for the stock and raise money needed for growth.

IManage's IPO is composed of 3.6 million shares at a price range of $8-to-$10 per share.

Reading reactions from the grizzled investors isn't easy. Some act friendly and don't buy while others ask tough, cynical questions only to put in large orders.

This is what Panjwani learns later on. During the road show, the bankers never really tell him exactly how things are going until days later when it's time to price the shares for market.


Contenders

The road show by IManage is one of about 500 domestic initial public offerings that have made the circuit this year, the most since 1996.

Out of those, about 279 are Internet-related, up from about 44 Web IPOs in 1998.

In this year's bull market, Internet IPOs have gained 90.4 percent over their offering prices on their opening day and 126 percent after 30 days.

One factor in favor of IManage is its status as an e-commerce enabler, a player in the hot business-to-business category of companies that helps other firms make money on the Internet.

Standouts in the space include Calico Commerce (CLIC: news, msgs), Tibco (TIBX: news, msgs) and Silverstream (SSSW: news, msgs), all of which have soared.

The wind up

Although it's a hungry market overall for IPOs, a home run is no sure thing, especially if the road show bombs out.

The challenge with IManage, as with many smaller IPOs of less than $100 million, is to set itself apart from the flood of other deals and win a following.

Panjwani is used to pitching his company to technologically savvy chief information officers at prospective clients. Now he must aim his pitch at a seasoned Wall Street audience.

He starts off by mentioning the company's relationship with Wal-Mart (WMT: news, msgs) -- a great name to drop since the No. 1 retailer is such a Wall Street darling.

Potential investors seem passively interested, but they give off the appearance that they've heard it all before.

They jot down a few notes, polish off their chicken plate, and listen.




The pitch

Panjwani explains how IManage helps companies handle the information overload of faxes, voice mail and images.

It's part of a new category called information commerce that'll reach $25 billion by 2003 and $7 billion for software vendors in the space.

Shying away from the more technical intricacies of IManage, Panjwani focuses instead on how customers such as Nasdaq and legal firms use its products.

IManage's software helps bring information into a centralized repository and then disseminates it through e-mail and the Web.

Instead of mailing out messages or faxing something like an analyst report or a legal document, all the user has to do is drag a message into a folder representing a group of employees, clients, or customers.

The motion automatically launches e-mail to the recipients. Instead of attaching the documents that eat up server capacity and storage space, the e-mails contain a link to a Web-based repository. Users click onto the link to receive the information.

The results save time and money. There's also a viral effect because the IManage brand appears on the browser interface linked to e-mails.

As the e-mails get sent out, say for Wal-Mart, IManage gets its name spread through cyberspace.

Competition no problem

Panjwani dismisses potential rivals such as Agile (AGIL: news, msgs), Marimba (MRBA: news, msgs), IBM (IBM: news, msgs), Informatica (INFA: news, msgs), and Viador (VIAD: news, msgs). IManage's competition is instead with companies attempting to build their own information dissemination systems.

He has another selling point to trot out: IManage has a big customer base of several hundred with no one client having more than a 5 percent share of its revenue.

Light bulbs turn on

Up to now, the fund managers seem interested but not enthusiastic. When Panjwani points out that IManage software helps analysts more easily disseminate their reports, notes, and ratings to fund managers, a collective light bulb seems to turn on in the room.

As the session winds down, a group of investors gather around Panjwani, or a few go up to chat with Chip Vetter, director of corporate finance for BancBoston Robertson Stephens.

Panjwani seems pleased.

"I think they got it!" he said triumphantly. "We altered the pitch from yesterday. They get what we do."

After thoroughly answering questions and shaking hands, he picks up his brief case and rushes off to the next meeting.

iManage Announces Record Fourth Quarter Revenues up 100%
IMAN] IMANAGE Q4 NET INCOME 3C/SHR VS. LOSS OF 0C/SHR YEAR EARLIER


- Net Income, Excluding Stock-Based Compensation, of $0.03 Per Share -

SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- iManage, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMAN), a
leading provider of information and collaboration management software, today
announced record results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
1999.
Revenues for the quarter were $5.9 million, up 100% from $2.9 million in
the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1999 increased 140% to $18.6 million compared with $7.7 million
in 1998. License revenues in 1999 continued to record strong gains, as more
than 75% of total revenues in both the fourth quarter and the year were
attributable to software licenses. Revenues were also boosted by significant
gains in support and services, which increased 192% and 250% for the quarter
and year, respectively, compared with the comparable periods of 1998.
"We were very pleased to have achieved record revenues in 1999," said
iManage president and CEO, Max Panjwani. "Our robust growth, with a
sequential increase in revenue of over 20% from the prior quarter, is directly
attributable to strong customer demand for our new infoCommerce line of
products. We believe the viral marketing effect afforded by customers
deploying our infoCommerce systems positively positions us for continued
success in the future," added Panjwani.
Excluding stock-based compensation, fourth quarter 1999 net income was
$479,000 or $0.03 per share compared to a net loss of $36,000 or $0.00 per
share in fourth quarter 1998. For the year, net income, excluding stock-
based compensation, grew to $814,000 or $0.08 per share, up from a net loss of
$1,786,000 or $0.24 per share for all of 1998.
Including stock-based compensation, fourth quarter 1999 net loss was
$342,000 or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $278,000 or $0.04 per
share fourth quarter 1998. For all of 1999, the net loss was $2.8 million, or
$0.28 per share, comparedwith a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.38 per share,
for all of 1998. Weighted average shares outstanding increased in 1999
compared with 1998 primarily due to the Company's initial public offering of
common stock during the fourth quarter and conversion of all outstanding
shares of preferred stock to common stock upon completion of the initial
public offering.
iManage achieved a number of additional significant milestones in the
fourth quarter of 1999:

-- Completed successful initial public offering. iManage completed an
initial public offering of 4.14 million shares of common stock at $11
per share resulting in net proceeds of $41.2 million. As of December
31, 1999, the Company's balance of cash and investments stood at $54.2
million.

-- Selected by Microsoft to manage corporate information across and
between multiple departments. Microsoft purchased the infoCommerce
Suite to facilitate their needs to collaborate on and manage
information critical to support their high value business practices.
Microsoft's selection further validates iManage as a leader in e-
business information and collaboration management.

-- Signed 70 new customers. New customers include diverse corporate
companies such as Microsoft Corporation, Bank of England, J.C. Penney
Company Inc., Choice One Communications, Mitsubishi Silicon America,
Sabre Inc., Baxter Cardiovascular Group, Celera Genomics and ComCast.

-- Signed agreement with Xerox to provide integrated information commerce
applications. This device level integration provides users of Xerox

I think it's just a short-term blip. If I wasn't already fully invested, I would be buying more. One look at their revenue growth and their awesome list of customers, fills me up with confidence. Sometimes good companies get overlooked by the vast public. I'm staying in for at least a year. IMAN will have its day in the sun.

I've got a little cash left, guess
I'm going to have to nibble on a bit
more.

Just hard to imagine revs about the

the the market cap, news with MSFT

move.

I'll be a buyer in the am and just wait
