Description: Ever since Amazon.com rewrote IPO history, more Internet retailers have been going public. The latest: eToys Inc., a Santa Monica, Calif., Internet toy merchant. On Feb. 17 eToys joined the ranks of electronic commerce companies issuing public offerings. The company hasnt determined how many shares it will offer or at what price, although current owners of the company hold 13 million shares and the company is authorized to issue up to 200 million. The company anticipates raising $115 million for general working capital. Goldman Sachs; BancBoston Robertson Stephens; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette; and Merrill Lynch are the underwriters. The company will trade on the Nasdaq exchange. The retailer, which opened its Web store in October 1997, sells more than 3,000 items from over 290 toy manufacturers. The companys fiscal year ends March 31. For the nine months ending Dec. 31, 1998, eToys had sales of $23.9 million. For the nine months ending December 31, 1997, the company had sales of more than $500,000. Analysts believe eToys is going public at an opportune time.
