Abstract: In the disruption era, so many startups have to really pay attention to the problem of market and financial
analysis. The successful experience of Facebook, Alibaba, Gojek, and Grab teaches the importance of
market and financial analysis (Rene and Li (2016) and (Lee and Shin (2018)). In fact, before the disruption
era like today there was a business that had been highlighted in Indonesia and was expected to boom around
2007-2008.This business is a business mobile content called “Mobee”. The application has not been
launched in Android but its future is promising. To market Mobee's product successfully, it must first be
analyzed. The financial analysis is about the market situation. The market situation of Mobee products is
relatively new because the subscriber is still not familiar with the issue of browsing. However, that does not
diminish the potential of Mobee's business product. The subscribers (business content users) are no longer
overly concerned about the difficulty in browsing, but they are more concerned with the usefulness of
browsing for operational activities (business). Looking at the prospects for the future, Mobee deserves to go
public in 2011. In comparison, Mobee's business value is 459.6 - 599,6 billion rupiah which is three times
from the business value of Kopitime DotCom. Bids for new investors can be considered quite interesting
because with 20% of shares of Mobee, new investors will get a capitalization of shares of 45.96 - 59.96
billion rupiahs. The success of Mobee business will give more opportunity for the development of startups
in Indonesia.
1 INTRODUCTION
Mobee, like any other mobile content business in the
world, has 4 types of business models or products
such as microbrochure, micronewspaper,
micromagazine & microcatalog. By definition each
microbrochure i.e. subscriber can match the texture
of the goods you want to buy by downloading the
image on the phone. Micronewspaper can help the
subscriber to confirm whether the texture of the
news is being hot news by downloading the
alternative news format news on the phone. As for
micromagazine, is enables a subscriber to confirm
magazine titles by downloading miniature of
magazines on mobile phones. The last one is a
microcatalog that can help subscriber to identify the
texture of goods that they search in a store quickly
by downloading the goods on the phone.
At that time the owner requested the business to
undergo an in-depth analysis in terms of the market
and finance to assess the feasibility of IPO related
companies in 2011 by releasing shares as much as
30% to the public. Specifically, investors are offered
US $ 1.5 million equivalent to Rp 13.5 billion (IDR
9000 per US $ exchange) with details of US $ 500
thousand prepaid to be distributed to existing
shareholders and US $ 1 million placed as working
capital company, repayable as needed for 1 year. If a
new investor agrees with this offer they will get 20%
of Mobee shares worth equivalent to 0.2 x Rp 300
Billion (conservative value) = Rp 60 Billion and
they can place 1 person as the Director of Finance
for Mobee and 1 person as a commissioner (Sembel,
2007).
In order to realize this company plan, we intend
to provide support in market and financial analysis.
For market analysis, we will use the STP
(Segmenting, Targeting & Positioning) method to
see where exactly the company is in a competitive
position. At that time, there were two potential

competitors namely Alatto and Yahoo Indonesia.
After conducting market analysis, we do product
analysis to see in detail the unique features of the
product or business model offered either
microbrochure, micronewspaper, micromagazine or
microcatalog. In addition to discussing the
uniqueness, the limitations of the product will also
be analyzed.
Our financial analysis is done using the stages of
the business valuation process. The approach we use
is DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) because the Mobee
business is a new running business running and it
has many offers and expectations for the investors in
the future. This financial analysis will be affected by
scenario for the range of subscribers’ counts
referring to three conditions, which are optimistic,
moderate and pessimistic. The final value of the
average of the subscribers will determine the value
of the valuation of Mobee business. As a
consideration for us is the valuation model of
Kopitime Dot.com company that has long been
listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The
company turned out to have been concerned about
the problem of investment cost component for a type
of internet based services company that is equipment
and software, technical cooperation and strategy,
advertising and promotion, as well as operational
costs.
Finally, based on the previous description, the
objective of this study is to assess Mobee's mobile
business content by looking at two critical aspects of
market analysis and financial analysis. The benefit
from the exposure of this study, in addition, is to
give an idea on what is the fair value of Mobee
mobile business content that will be utilized by
prospective new investors. It will also give a
recommendation for the company owner whether the
company is feasible to conduct IPO in 2011. The
success in this IPO will depend on how valid the
valuation results that are applied by the related
analysis.
2 MATERIALS & METHODS
2.1 Market Analysis
To conduct market analysis, according to previous
research Rene and Li (2016) and Lee and Shin
(2018), it will consist of: Segmentation (S),
Targeting (T), Positioning (P), Product Analysis,
Competitor Analysis, and Strategy Analysis.
In the next stage, we also conduct competitor
analysis using the Competitive Profile Matrix
(CPM) model that is oriented towards customer,
product and technical factors. Qualitative
determination of strengths and weaknesses of
players is measured by using criteria E (Excellent),
G (Good) and F (Fair). Using this CPM can
ultimately determine Porter's competing strategy and
related QSPM matrix from the company. In addition,
an operational business strategy will be determined.
2.2 Financial Analysis
While performing financial analysis, we refer to the
procedure from Bergvall-Kareborn and Howcroft
(2013), which was applied to Apple Business Model
in several countries, such as Sweden, UK, US and
China. This procedure has compatibility with the
overall business valuation process. This financial
analysis includes: 1) Determine the potential market
by using the assumption of optimistic, moderate and
pessimistic conditions, 2) Determine the growth rate
of the company with supernormal growth approach,
3) Determine the nominal revenue of the company
from the subscriber, 4) Determine the subscription
fee of the company, 5) Determine the operating
expense, 6) Determine the discount rate, (7)
Determine the tax rate, 8) Determine the perpetual
rate, and 9) Determine its valuation with the
spreadsheet.

3.1 Market Analysis
Why should Mobee do market analysis? Mobile
technology business is known for being "bullish".
Many business transaction and telecommunication
activities are already using sophisticated information
technology medium. The sophistication of
information technology is not an obstacle for
subscriber because information technology that has a
high selling value is user-friendly information
technology. Even if there is an internet that allows
subscribers to access information as needed, content
and features are sometimes still not satisfactory. In
addition, the high cost of internet browsing makes
business content from mobile phones to be one of
the best alternatives. If so, considering the market
situation, Mobee's product as a content business
player has the best chance of scooping a huge
potential market. This will be successful if Mobee is
able to make the STP process according to Kotler
and Keller (2016) as well as possible.

3.1.1 Segmentation (S)
This means determining the part of the potential
market that should be entered. The potential market
is all the information technology about subscriber
community in Indonesia. Potential market shares
from Mobee can be grouped demographically and
psychographically. Demographically, subscribers
can be grouped into Media and Non-Media. The
ideal comparison is 3: 2.
Media has a larger portion because it has the
same line of business with Mobee that is equally in
the field of mass communication. The benefit of
media groups is the possibility of a significant
increase in the number of potential markets when
compared to running alone. The details of media
groups include the National General Media, Local
Media, Business, and Entertainment.
The next group is non-media with a portion that
is not as dominant as the media group. The benefit is
the Mobee content business can be used as a vehicle
for dissemination of non-media group profile
information to potential target market. Details of
non-media groups consist of Financial Institutions
such as Mobile Banking & Financial Portal. In
addition, there is also Education which consists of
School, University & Course. Then, the latter is the
others namely MLM Company, Job Market,
Classified Ads, Professional Associations, Hobby
Community, m-Government & Political Parties. For
psychographic segmentation, the company (Mobee
Indonesia) can group its subscribers into business
and non-business types.
Business type means the type of subscriber that
utilizes Mobee as a vehicle for business activities
such as searching for new potential markets or
venues for promotion or a venue for finding new
business partners. Meanwhile, the non-business type
is more directed to the type of subscriber who only
uses Mobee as a means of entertainment or
entertainment. Both of these types have typical
behavior. The non-business types are more
concerned with the format or feature of the content,
while the non-business type prioritizes the content of
the content itself.
3.1.2 Targeting (T)
It is the process of specifically determining which
part of the potential market should be entered. The
closer term is the "niche" or niche market. The
reason for determining the market niche is because
not all segments will be easily accessed by the
company given the tight competition.
For Mobee, for example, its market niche is
assumed to be a subscriber community of media
groups. The logical consideration is that media
groups are seen to be making a larger contribution as
they will be able to effectively run banners to new
prospects in the Mobee market area. Meanwhile, the
non-media groups tend to still optimize the internet
content business. Thus, their contribution will not be
as big as the media group.
3.1.3 Positioning (P)
It is uniquely determined by what the company will
serve a "niche" or niche market. The reason for
determining positioning is that all niche markets
have unique demands because they are supported
with high purchasing power, so Mobee needs to
position its core product competencies as best as
possible. For example, Mobee can focus on core
competencies: easiness and highly interactive power.
The definition of convenience is that the
subscriber will easily access information at any time
without having to be haunted by anxiety caused by
delays in the process of browsing as well as on
getting internet access. The highly interactive power
can be demonstrated by how much the content and
format attentiveness of Mobee can keep the
subscriber tune-in until the process of memorizing a
product brand can take place continuously. Other
than that, the subscriber can do more enjoyable
blogging activities and chatting. Blogging is an
activity to revise the personal web appearance on a
regular basis. Chatting is a conversation activity via
text between subscribers.
3.1.4 Product Analysis
The uniqueness of the content business has a
distinctive feature or has a degree of that is higher
than the other media features.
1. The advantages of a more cost-effective content
business are faster, more reliable, more various,
and easier.
2. The limitations namely 1) the existence of a
dependence with the operator of the phone card
makes the existence of content business will be
influenced by the business dynamics of the
mobile phone card operators. 2) The phone's
monitor screen is not as wide as the PC monitor
screen; then there are some subscribers who
cannot enjoy the content and format.
All three of the above factors should be discussed by
Mobee product category consisting of micropage;

microreader; content development tool & mobeelink
(see appendix 1-2 for the details of Mobee product).
3.1.5 Competitor Analysis
If the player’s data has been available completely
then some stages of making a competitive profile
matrix can be done as recommended by David and
David (2016) as follows:
1. Determine critical success factors both internally
and externally.
2. Give weight to critical success factors based on
brainstorming among marketing and operational
executive teams.
3. Determine the rating of critical success factors
based on the results of the subscriber survey.
4. Determine the scores on critical success factors
that reflect the competitiveness position of
Mobee products when compared to potential
competitors.
However, if player data is not available given the
market may be new, it needs to be adjusted. This
adjustment is related to the determination of the
weight and rating of critical success factors. As a
replacement, we can directly assess the critical
success factors in qualitative judgment. Kotler
(2006) suggests four levels of judgment: excellent
(E); good (G); fair (F) and poor (P).
In the detail in table 1 judgmental judgment of
there are three content business players that can be
identified namely: Alatto, Yahoo-Indonesia and
Mobee. These three players have special
characteristics in the content business market. Alatto
and Mobee probably have something in common
because of using the same media that is mobile
phone, while Yahoo-Indonesia relies more on
Internet media for its core activities.
Table 1: Competitive Profile Matrix Analysis For
Business Content Players.
Players Customer Product Techniques
Alatto F G G
Mobee E E F
Yahoo Indo. E G G
Source: Result data analysis (2007)
Based on table 1, Mobee is no less dominant
compared with Alatto and Yahoo-Indonesia. Alatto
is not so dominant in terms of customer awareness;
product availability and selling ability due to the
assumption of making competitive profile matrix is
using Indonesian market. If we look at the gait of
Alatto in Europe it will probably be different
judgments. Alatto is quite dominant in two countries
namely Portugal with Optimus project and in the
Netherlands with Telfort project (see appendix 3 for
details). So Mobee and Alatto are unlikely to
compete frontally because of the market
geographical differences.
Precisely, here that would be suggested is Mobee
can benchmark to Alatto in terms of technical
assistance. This is important considering Mobee
could be involved in a tight competition with
Yahoo-Indonesia considering that Indonesian
subscribers have high purchasing power to access
maximum information. If the weak side of Mobee
can be overcome, it is not impossible that Yahoo-
Indonesia subscriber will be able to "switch" to
Mobee, because its product is relatively the same in
terms of usage.
3.1.6 Strategy Analysis
Determination of generic strategy is done by using
generic strategy concept from Michael E. Porter
consisting of low cost and differentiation. Low cost
relates to cost efficiency on the use of a product,
while differentiation is related to the unique charm
that a product offers. The essence of Porter's generic
strategy is to build a competitive advantage of a
product when compared to a competitor's product. It
can be seen in detail in the matrix diagram in table 2.
Based on observations on internal information; then
Mobee can use Different-Focused Strategy.

Mobee.

3.1.7 Why Should Mobee Use a
Differentiation-focused Strategy?
The reason Mobee does need to build the uniqueness
so that the potential subscriber of conventional
content business such as Yahoo-Indonesia, Astaga
and Detik can also be achieved overdraft. Some of
the uniqueness that needs to be built, such as content
that is more varied both in terms of text, images,
video and sound. Then, also the speed of access to
information (download) in accordance with the
wishes and the ultimate cost advantage of 6x sms
from the old technology need to be build.
However; Mobee is unlikely to take a large
ICEBM Untar 2018 - International Conference on Entrepreneurship and Business Management (ICEBM) Untar
14
market share (broad target). This is not just Mobee is
a new player in the content business, but more
importantly, Mobee needs to build the image first
among the subscriber. As understood, the subscriber
today is still not familiar with mobile business
content as well as internet business content that
already existed. Mobee needs to focus on the market
segment of the media group while the non-media
group market education process is effective.
Another alternative determination of a grand
strategy is to use the Quantitative Strategic Planning
Matrix (QSPM) model derived from IFE (Internal
Factors Evaluation) and EFE (External Factors
Evaluation) matrix in the SWOT analysis process.
The main content of QSPM is the various types of
grand strategy that can be used by the company. In
the first quadrant is generally the type of market
penetration & market development strategy.
Quadrants II and IV each have a strategy type
product development & horizontal integration and
concentric & conglomerate diversification.
Meanwhile Quadrant III only has type of strategy of
retrenchment & divesture.
For the Mobee case, based on the information
obtained we can qualify entry in quadrant I. The
core position in quadrant I is the more dominant
factor of the factor compared with the factor of
threats and strengths factor is also more dominant
than the weaknesses factor.

Second Quadrant

3.1.8 Why Is Mobee Included in Quadrant
I?
There are two main reasons. First, Mobee exists
when the number of mobile phone users in Indonesia
has increased drastically. The main requirement to
be a Mobee subscriber is to have a mobile phone.
Secondly, Mobee tries to offer multimedia services
that are content business in the latest form. So far,
the Indonesian subscriber is new to the content
business format via the internet.
By looking at the results of the mapping in
quadrant I, the most relevant strategy is market
penetration. The operational definition is to build
community among subscriber like yahoo.group.
Lupiyoadi and Hamdani (2006) states generally the
subscriber has a repeat order character that means
once they trust (trust) then forever they will not
switch to other types of portals. Thus, the
development of community will accelerate the
creation of trust among subscriber. Functionally the
development of subscriber community is optimized
with Mobee's web-design program, which should
appear on the mobile screen. The Mobee web-design
needs to be up-dating at all times so that the
innovation power of Mobee will still appear to be
maximum and the subscriber's loyalty is maintained.
3.2 Financial Analysis
For Mobee valuation, we will use one of the most
popular methods of DCF or discounted cash flow
application. The steps of this DCF method are as
follows:
1. Determine the potential market for the last 6
months in 2007 with 3 scenarios that are
optimistic scenario, most likely, and pessimistic
that involves about 100 thousand to 600
thousand people. These figures are based on
benchmarks from Compass that can reach 500
thousand people per day. The optimistic, most
probable, and pessimistic conditions are 20%,
60%, and 20% based on the weighting used in
PERT (project evaluation and review technique)
i.e. 1/6, 4/6 and 1/6 (Taylor, 2015). Optimistic
conditions are all Mobee content received by the
users and some users are the subscriber groups of
the top media such as Kompas and SWA. The
most likely condition is most of Mobee's content
is accepted by users and most of them are
subscriber of "second tier" media groups. The
pessimistic condition is that only a small
percentage of content is received and some users
are subscribers of non-media groups.
2. Determine growth from 2007-2008 and 2008-
2011 (supernormal growth period) and 2011 and
beyond (normal growth period). Each for an
optimistic scenario is 20%; 50% and 10%. Then
for the most likely scenario, the growth rate is
10%, 20% and 5%. And the last pessimistic
scenario has a growth rate of 5%, 10% and 0%.
3. Determine the nominal revenue that Mobee can
earn from advertising and other sources of 10%
and 5%. Especially, ads will have a downward
trend from 2007-2014 of 1% per year due to
regulatory factors (limitation of advertising via
SMS) and market saturation (in the future, there
will be more copy-paint businesses that have
similar content to Mobee).
4. Determine Mobee subscription fees reasonable
Assessing Mobile Content "Mobee" Business in Indonesia: For Case Study Data 2007 - 2014
15
and interesting enough to get enough subscribers
that is Rp. 10,000, - per month.
5. Determine operating expenses as a percentage of
gross income. The amount of operating costs is
determined by an revenue-based basis with a
25% scenario in 2007-2008; 20% in 2009-2011
and 15% for 2012-2014.
6. Determine the relevant discount rate for the
present value calculation of the company's cash
flow of 25% with details of 50% debt and 50%
equity. Debt has a 20% interest cost and equity
has a cost of 30%. Discount rate is certainly
already considering the business risk factors
from Mobee.
7. Determine the tax rate of 30%.
8. Determining perpetual growth for the period
after 2014, based on the growth of the last two
years (2012-2014). Perpetual growth is required
to calculate the Mobee terminal value in 2014.
9. Obtain the valuation value of Mobee by utilizing
spreadsheet program in Excel (Alaistair, 2012)
By changing one of the above assumptions, the
value of the Mobee valuation will change
automatically. We do not use Monte-Carlo
simulations because the Mobee business has not
been fully operated, so it will be difficult to
determine the equivalent value for each random
number.
To get the best results, we do what-if analysis or
scenario analysis with the main focus on changes in
the number of subscribers to be obtained. This factor
is considered the most crucial writer because it
covers about 85% revenue from Mobee. Subscriber
factor will be the most vulnerable to business
competition risk.
Based on the results of scenario analysis, we get
the range of Mobee values between 459.6 - 599.1
billion rupiahs. The details can be seen in Table 4-6.
Scenario A with the number of subscriber counts of
50, 250, and 550 thousand of people for pessimistic
conditions, most likely, and optimistic. Scenario B
has a subscriber count of 100, 300, and 600 thousand
people. Scenario C has 150, 350, and 650 thousand
subscribers.
We select a range of subscriber, with counts of
+/- 50 persons in each scenario per 3 conditions,
with the following considerations: a) Business
content is still relatively new so the accuracy of
determining the subscriber’s number interval should
not be too long, and b) Determination of short
intervals will make Mobee’s management work
more rationally because there is a firm target.
The following is a description of the scenario
table from Mobee's assessment. The emphasis of the
discussion per scenario is the number of subscribers
and cash flow which will be the determining factor
of the company's value i.e. 459.6 - 599,6 billion
rupiahs.

Referring to the go-public experience of
Kopitime, an internet service company in Jakarta
Stock Exchange (now IDX) overall, then we can
identify some important components of investment
capital for Mobee. Such components include
equipment & software, technical cooperation &
strategy, advertising & promotion as well as
operational costs.
The dominant cost component is equipment &
software, and technical & strategy cooperation.

Considering that Mobee's business is highly
uncertain, we assume the Mobee business is merely
a lessee in the lease contract with some of the
business content-related technology providers.

4 CONCLUSIONS
Looking at the prospects for the future, Mobee
deserved to go public in 2011. In comparison,
Mobee's business value is 459.6 – 599.6 billion
rupiahs which is 3 times from the business value of
Kopitime DotCom. In addition, based on market
aspect, the company is located in quadrant I which
berate has the strengths and opportunities above the
industry's competitors namely Tools and yahoo
Indonesia. The strategy that can be run is market
penetration that builds community among
subscribers like yahoo.group and later social media
like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Meanwhile, an offer for new investors can be
considered quite interesting. With 20% of shares of
Mobee, new investors can get a capitalization of
shares of 45.96 - 59.96 billion rupiahs. The
calculations are 0.2 X 459.6 billion rupiahs X 0.5
and 0.2 X 599.6 billion rupiahs X 0.5. Figures 0.5 is
an internal or equity financing factor which is
nothing but debt and equity if it refers to the concept
of financial management.
5 LIMITATION &
IMPLICATIONS
Although Mobee's mobile business case occurred in
the era before Android (before the current era), we
still think that all four of Mobee's business models
are still within the scope of e-commerce and will
inspire the growth of many more sophisticated
business models i.e. startup companies or start ups
that become trending topic in the world.
In our opinion, pioneering companies do need to
properly understand the market and financial
analysis to determine the accuracy of reasonable
business value in order to wait for large funds from
crowd funders (see Gojek case in Indonesia).
