I ran a screen last night of all the companies in this sector with sales less than $100MM a year to do a comparison with FAMH. I came up with 7 companies, although it may not be comprehensive due to the database used. Listed below is the pertinent info. The PE ratios range, some because the company is mainly focused in the light industrial/manufacturing area, and some because the growth prospects aren't too hot, and another because it is in IT. ASIS: CURRENT PRICE: 10 PE: 30.3 EPS: .33 Sales: 27.9MM Income: 1.9MM Shares: 6.447MM Market Cap: 64.47MM Zacks rated Strong Buy JOB: CURRENT PRICE: 15 1/4 PE: 22.8 EPS: .69 Sales: 32.9MM Income: 2.8MM Shares: 4.02MM Market Cap; 63.3MM SOLP: CURRENT PRICE: 3 9/16 PE: 16.5 EPS: .22 Sales: 33.7MM Income: 1.4MM Shares: 5.13MM Market Cap: 18.6MM WRS: CURRENT PRICE: 6 1/4 PE: 14.6 EPS: .41 Sales: 49.2MM Income: 1.4MM Shares: 3.56MM Market Cap: 21.34MM JOL: CURRENT PRICE: 5 1/2 PE: 16.8 EPS: .32 Sales: 49.9MM Income: 1.2MM Shares: 3.67MM Market Cap: 19.7MM TPMI: (light industrial) CURRENT PRICE: 14 1/2 PE: 20.4 EPS: .70 Sales: 79.4MM Income: 1.5MM Shares: 2.05MM Market Cap: 29.2MM Zack's rated Strong Buy SCBI: (IT) CURRENT PRICE: 21 7/16 PE: 35.2 EPS: .54 Sales: 95.1MM Income: 6.6MM Shares: 11.2MM Market Cap: 233.1MM Zack's rated Strong Buy AVERAGE PE in above grouping: 22.4 MINIMUM EPS ESTIMATED BY IRA IN CC FOR '98 .20 based on 40MM shares. Applying the average PE gives, with today's share count, and '97 eps: $2.43. Applying the average PE with trailing eps after merger: $8.064. Applying the average PE with projected minimum eps with current share count: $4.48. Applying the average PE with projected minimum eps after merger: $14.93. IMO, anyway you slice it, it's undervalued. Jin.

Mark, I agree. The work Ira does for the Co. is incredible. The work ITF does for the Co. is trash. That's why they can,t be the same IMO The fact Ira and Brad had words does not bother me. That was on the phone in private, They disagreed, they yelled , they worked it out (well at least that's the way I understand it). But name calling on SI? Come on, that is childish ( stick and stones may break my bones.........) Jin, Excellent post! I like those numbers!!! Thanks Dan

I sent a Private message to ITF and asked him to stop SHOUTING on his posts and could he please just release the audited financials. I was watching him post this morning at 5:00 a.m. but he did not respond. Personally I hope ITF is NOT Ira Monas. Not my idea of a CEO. His posts hardly make any sense half the time and his conversation with Jonathan LeBed(PWSP) was juvenile and ridiculous. Lokks to me the price went up this morning from folks on this board buying into his comments from last night. I hope we don't get a news release today and discredit ITF. Odd that this person joined SI on March 17th and has only posted on FAMH. Perhaps a desperate MM wanting to make a quick buck before the real news start coming out. Always a cynic. Priscilla
