santa fe pacific was the kind of story wall street loved
since the value of its assets was n't known analysts were free to pick a number
in one of many <unk> scenarios bear stearns 's gary <unk> wrote in march that its real estate alone had a value of $ N billion
throw in its railroad minerals pipeline and oil assets he and others argued and the chicago-based conglomerate should be worth N a share
and why should holders expect to realize that presumed worth
that was another reason the street loved santa fe
with real estate experts olympia & york and samuel <unk> 's itel owning close to N N of santa fe 's stock management was under pressure in a favored phrase of wall street to quickly maximize values
but value it turns out is only what a buyer will pay
and with the company 's recent announcement that it is contemplating a partial sale of its real estate the values suddenly look poorer
santa fe has disclosed that it is negotiating to sell a N N interest in its real estate unit to the california public employees retirement system for roughly $ N million
since the real estate unit also includes debt the <unk> value of the real estate itself is close to $ N billion
the implied current net asset value of N per share is well below the N level that the street believed painewebber says
the upside was in the <unk> real estate which is no longer an <unk>
so what is santa fe worth
if the railroad is valued on a private market basis at the same multiple of earnings as in the recent sale of cnw it would have a value of $ N billion
a compromise between bulls and bears puts remaining assets and cash including its N N stake in its publicly traded pipeline at $ N billion
santa fe also has $ N billion in debt
in addition its railroad lost a $ N million antitrust suit which is on appeal and which analysts say could be settled for one-third that amount
that <unk> out to about $ N a share for the company on a private market basis
but santa fe currently trading at N N is n't likely to realize private market values by selling assets because the tax against it would be onerous
its plan instead is to spin off the remainder of its real estate unit and to possibly do the same with its mining and energy assets
robert d. <unk> santa fe 's chairman argues that since its businesses are valued in different ways the sum of the parts may be greater than the whole
but it is n't clear why that should be so
the spinoff argument after all <unk> the current notion that assets are worth more to private buyers than to public shareholders
and real estate usually has n't traded well under public ownership
salomon brothers says we believe the real estate properties would trade at a discount after the realty unit is spun off
and what about the cost and risk of waiting to realize the hypothetical private market values
some analysts remain bullish
mr. <unk> of bear stearns says he is <unk> the worth of the company 's assets and in the meantime is sticking to his buy recommendation on the belief that he will find values of N a share
he adds if for any reason i do n't have the values then i wo n't recommend it
first boston 's <unk> anne <unk> values santa fe at N down from her earlier estimate of N
her recent report <unk> the stock as a hold
but it appears to be the sort of hold one makes while heading for the door
<unk> from the report the stock 's narrow discount to asset valuation makes it a relatively <unk> investment at current prices especially given the risk that our projections could be on the aggressive side
chairman <unk> says the california pension fund is getting a bargain price that would n't have been offered to others
in other words the real estate has a higher value than the pending deal suggests
since most of the unit 's real estate is in california the pension fund will be a useful political ally in a state where development is often held <unk> to <unk> boards
and as mr. <unk> says with itel and <unk> on the unit 's board the real estate will be run by a very unusual group to say the least
it is possible then that santa fe 's real estate even in a state <unk> by earthquakes could one day fetch a king 's <unk>
but as drexel analyst linda dunn notes its properties will be developed over N to N years
so despite wall street 's <unk> talk of quickly <unk> values holders could be in for a long wait

intelogic <unk> inc. said it is exploring alternatives to maximize shareholder value including the possible sale of the company
but <unk> b. edelman who controls about N N of the san antonio texas <unk> company insisted that the announcement did n't have anything to do with the ongoing battle for control of datapoint corp
any sale of intelogic could have an impact on the battle between mr. edelman and new york attorney martin ackerman for control of datapoint
intelogic holds N N of datapoint 's common shares outstanding
mr. edelman said the decision has nothing to do with <unk> ackerman
mr. ackerman contended that it was a direct response to his efforts to gain control of datapoint
intelogic was spun off from datapoint four years ago shortly after mr. edelman took control of datapoint
