Part B: Evans & Tate’s Initial Public Offering in 1999 We are presenting you here with an excerpt from the Initial Public Offering Prospectus Evans & Tate filed with the Australia Stock Exchange in 1999. In these IPO documents firms are required to lay out their strategy and articulate the reasons why an investement in the company is likely to yield economic returns for shareholders. The purpose of the case is to furnish raw material for learning how to identify whether a firm has the required resources and capabilities to operate in an industry successfully and to evaluate whether the value of these resources and capabilities are sustainable over time (Reading 7). Developing these analytical skills is not only handy for evaluating whether to invest in or buy a company but also helps us to have a deeper understanding whether we should join the company as an employee.

    Our wine list is based around the drinking culture of ancient Rome and throughout the list we highlight the region of Lazio whilst supporting the great diversity of producers found here in Western Australia. Following a practice developed by the Romans for categorizing wines we have listed all wines by colour then by grape varietal forming a simplistic drinking guide. 1 Aperitivi (45ml) Vermouth – Italy Made with fortified wine infused with various botanicals including wormwood, gentian, cloves and other spices, recent history has seen this drink turn into the ideal aperitif.
