Earnings release does not look good to me. The second quarter was flat in revenue compared to first one. (I don't know if I totally buy their explanation.) The shares were up 1.8 million. The good thing was that income was up, but with more shares, it makes no difference. I think I will sell my shares now. Until they get some approvals or better sales, this does not look like a winner to me.

Looked at the report & its a mixed bag. On the + side, costs of move are stated to be over, good cash & the guys finally released more detail in their statements (cost of goods sold, administrative) and the lack of > coupled with the increase in revenues is VERY POSITIVE. Year over year EPS was great again, and the sequential qtr trend is lousy (.02, .02, .02). The great year over year comps end qtr4 98 unless TRIBY grows revenue and cools it with the shares QUICKLY. I know some individualls are tired of my talking about it & publically don't seem to care, but shares outstanding increased significantly again - 7.26% more shares - still adding paper at near 30% clip, just like last year. Current ratio is still pretty anemic at 2:1 for anybody using a value criteria.
