Protege, SOTK is trading near its 52 week low while MFIC is trading near its 52 week high. However, both are trading at ridiculously low valuations of $18 Million each and both seem to have significant upside potential. What is driving MFIC now is their record baclog of almost $5 Million, third straight quarter of profitability, strong sales growth and potential for a nanotech royalty agreement with a food ingredient company. OTOH, SOTK is coming off its highest quarter of EPS with 2 cents, has 21 consecutive quarters of profitability, is expanding its product coating offerings including medical devices, textiles, glass and nanotech products, is diversifying into new large markets in China, India and Eastern Europe and managment is taking a higher profile of performing periodic investor conferences which they had never odne before. I do not believe SOTK is a case of "hidden skeletons" but instead is off the Wall Street radar screen and provides "hidden value".
