Tom: PECS RESEARCH ALERT - UBS Warburg cuts PEC Solutions NEW YORK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - UBS Warburg on Thursday said it cut its investment rating on PEC Solutions Inc. (NasdaqNM:PECS - news), an information technology services firm, to ``hold'' from ``buy.'' ``We believe the underlying growth drivers in the government IT services sector are still very strong... but after appreciating almost 177 percent since mid-Sept. and at almost 50 times our calendar 2003 estimate, we feel shares are a bit ahead of themselves,'' analyst Adam Frisch said in a research note. Shares of PEC Solutions closed at $41.49 on Nasdaq on Wednesday. biz.yahoo.com Regards, BobP

VISG on Yahoo: Re: New SEC filings Jan 10 by: tuitionbillz 01/11/02 08:20 am Msg: 27373 of 27373 As I recall, Lau Technologies sold much of their DoD work a few months ago for about $60 million. There was speculation at the time the purpose was to win the Polaroid drivers' license business auction, but they lost to Digimarc. Too bad, that would have given VISG about 40 states worth of DL business. What a database! Ms. Lau controls Lau Technologies and her husband Dennnis Berube is a senior exec at VISG, yet they seem to be separating the two companies to a considerable extent by, for example, Lau selling the FR technology to VISG and getting royalties. So, they (Lau and Berube) have got $60 million from the defense business sale, plus 38% of VISG shares (another $60M?), plus VISG has sold $25M worth of shares in the private placements. And now a new company (Essex) from Boston shows up owning another 12% of VISG. So . . . . There they are with about $150 million in cash and stocks . . . . what does that mean to VISG? Are they going to grow the FR business? Are they looking to acquire another company like, oh, IDNX, which does fingerprinting? Are they dangling a cash-rich VISG out there for a bigger fish to swallow?
