The Company now has 56 patents in the U.S.biz.yahoo.com An although gaps get closed on average 90% of the time, it seems that NGEN's gap will not be closed for a while.<g> The nearest support is at 5.28 and resistance from 6.70 to 7 <g> Besides the good news about the patent, in NGEN favor is the fact that the revenues in the September Q were about 12% better and the loss for the Q was $0.27 vs. $0.42. For the year the company expects to have a loss of about $27 to $29M. Since there are $22.1M shares out, the loss per share is expected to be $1.22 to $1.28 The company already has a loss per share of $0.91 for the first 3 Qs and if the results come as expected, the loss for the 4thQ should be from $0.31 to $0.37/share, which should compare favorably with the $0.41 loss in the December 2002 4th Q.(That would be better earning results for 3 Qs on a roll.<g>) The company expects revenue to improve significantly in 2004. It has around $32M in cash after it had a recent private investment of $7M which included warrants with an exercise price from $4.14 to $4.75/share. With the caveat of the December 3rd gap, it seems worth while to keep NGEN under close watch.<g> siliconinvestor.com Especially since on its longer term chart, NGEN still has plenty of room to run.<g>siliconinvestor.com Bernard
