OGPS Investment Opinion Update: TheSubway.com Announces Investment Opinion WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 1999--TheSubway.com announces investment Opinions on Omicron Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: OGPS - news) with a 12 month target of $10-15 per share, Qwest Communications (NASDAQ: QWST - news), and Books-A-Million (NASDAQ: BAMM - news). TheSubway.com announces investment Opinions on Omicron Technologies (OTCBB: OGPS - news) with a 12 month target of $10-15 per share, Qwest Communications (NASDAQ: QWST - news), and Books-A-Million (NASDAQ: BAMM - news). Omicron Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: OGPS - news), From video cameras to machine vision, digital imaging is increasingly becoming more critical and in great demand worldwide. It is anticipated that Omicron Technologies APS CMOS sensors will compete with and largely replace widely used CCDs. The markets for CCD products currently represents billions of dollars in annual sales with steady growth fueled by technological advances. In - Stat Group based in Scottsdale Ariz., sees the imaging chip market, including the products the chips are used in growing by 60% to $23 billion in 2002 with a 300% increase in the number of products sold. Peripheral Insight further estimates the total available market for digital imaging at 110 million units by 2002. On October 16, 1998 the company announced a joint venture agreement with ViaSpace Technologies, LLC. to develop a new technology which is being utilized in NASA's New Millennium Deep Space 1 Mission to image the features of an asteroid and is also planned for Mars Landing in 2001. The APS will be combined with advanced wireless radio technology to produce a wireless camera system. To date the company has been contacted by six wholesale distributors interested in the product. Within the next six months the company is expecting to see yearly revenues and income of 8.2 million and 3.7 million respectively. Currently trading at $1.6875 after being up in a down market, the stock is slowly being accumulated with short term expectations of over $5.00 per share and a long term (6-12 months) target of 15. Qwest Communications (NASDAQ: QWST - news) was down 3% yesterday with over 7 million shares traded. Capital Research is looking for the support level around 25 - 26 dollars per share and than look for a steady upward trend. Qwest's goal is to become a 21st Century telecom heavyweight. To that end, on July 19th, Qwest agreed to a $45 billion strategic merger with US West (NYSE:USW - news), betting that millions of new local customers will pour in billions of revenue to help the company battle the likes of AT&T (NYSE:T - news), MCI WorldCom (NASDAQ:WCOM news) and Sprint (NYSE:FON - news). While Qwest will likely spend the near term working out its US West merger, analysts say there are still a few pieces that the company needs to add to its local puzzle. In addition, Qwest may find itself the target of an even larger suitor at some point in the new millennium. Books-A-Million Inc. (OTCBB: BAMM - news). BAMM in our opinion, is a competitor with Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN - news) Barnes & Noble Inc. (NYSE: BKS - news) with one exception, the company is profitable. For the 13 weeks ended 5/1/99, net sales rose 14% to $85.1 million. Net income totaled $310 thousand, up from $10 thousand. There are many rumors floating around about this company being a prime takeover candidate. At these prices, it may come true and if not, we feel that the stock has just bounced off the support level. Comparing to the industry, we think the company has a short term potential of at least $18 per share.
