3rd Q earnings      2-Nov-09 11:18 am    
Can any other long term holder come up with any negative that could possibly be announced at 3rd Q earnings? Other than a lack of coverage?

Completely ignoring the lighting segments - the cinema sector has to be in for major good news. They have finally turned profitable over the previous quarter in their transition from more of a manufacturer to reseller - yet have added significantly to their manufacturing.

NEC systems may not garner huge numbers in the states but they have been making some inroads YTD and have been moving much more product in Asia. If they were profitable before - incremental sales has to increase margins and be in for increased profits.

The service division has been ramped up just waiting for something to do - and now they are poised to handle installs for Barco, CIDM as well as their own systems - and maintenance contracts will add to continued revenue stream. If they were profitable before - has to be moreso now.

The screen division has to be kicking butt - with the agreements in the industry to revamp theaters to be capable of 3D - requires their silver screen. Division was profitable before - and I'd expect getting into backorder situation now.

Balance sheet was pretty at the first of the year - and now with the assets converted to cash - sitting with $20+ mil in cash and miniscule debt.

Where's the monkey wrench in the works to keep this thing from taking off next week? I can't see one - but after holding this thing from the 90's where they couldn't dump the company - something always turns up. What could it be this time?
