Sunny, I try to balance comments received from the company with information released in the company's 10Q's etc. My 3 main reasons for buying the stock remain unchanged: 1) Company sells at a steep discount to the Industry Average Price Ratio: * Price to Sales for TSSW is 1.37 versus the Industry Avg of 13.27 Lower is Better * Price to Book for TSSW is .78 versus the Industry avg of 14.44 Lower is Better * Company has no LTD with LTD to Equity = 0.00 and Debt to Equity is = to 0. * Company has a higher current and quick ratio than the Industry. In small cap companies like TSSW, I follow the fundamentals closely. If TSSW's MGT can get its act together, the company stock should start to trade at least 50% of the industry average price ratios. 2) Company has lots of cash. * Currently selling for less than its cash and investments on hand. Cash per share is $1.37 based on total cash and investments of $10.87 million and 7.939 million shares. 3) New products offer hope of turnaround. Netoptimizer newest product released. . higher margin product. . .should see the impact in the 3rd qtr Another new checkit 98 line with a year 2000 batch released this qtr One more new product to be released Company has a member of Award software on its board and has announced a checkit partnership with this company. Would like to see a share buyback from mgt . . would show some support for us shareholders. DC
