GTNR....Scott don't know when the write up is going to be posted on bizfn so here it is. Should be plenty of time for folks to use this as a starting place for some DD. Gentner Communications Corporation GTNR - NASDAQ SMALL CAP Shares Outstanding: 8.12 M Float: 5.17 6 MONTH TARGET PRICE: $7.50 INVESTOR CONTACTS: Address: 1825 Research Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84119 Phone: Bryce Benson 801.974.3602 Fax: 801.977.0087 E-Mail: bbenson@gentner.com Web Site: gentner.com Gentner Fax-on-Demand at 800-695-8110 GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Gentner Communications provides telecommunications products and services including remote site control and conferencing products. The firm also offers a nationwide conference-calling service, and makes listening-assistance systems that transmit sound to the hearing-impaired at auditoriums and other public areas. Gentner announced in November that it would be entering the video conferencing market. BRIEFING: The Three Amigos believe that this is a ground floor opportunity for a company developing a new market niche. Gentner Communications has made the right connections, has the quality products and the management to benefit from a new, developing business trend. Gentner is an established leader in providing tele-conferencing solutions. The Company announced in November that it would be entering the videoconferencing market, and that it had contracted with RSI Systems( RSIS) to use its video technology. The new product introduction is in February. biz.yahoo.com Management has steered the Company well, establishing important relationships and recently increased earnings expectations for the upcoming fiscal year by almost 30% after coming in with a seventh quarter in a row of earnings increases. biz.yahoo.com Institutions have found this stock and BUY recommendations are sure to follow as the stock price goes over five dollars. BACKGROUND: Gentner offers strong management combined with a product line known for quality in a market niche that has begun to attract serious attention from the corporate world. Corporations will choose to teleconference rather than fly people in for meetings. Additionally, the Company has made important symbiotic relationships to insure its future as the market matures. The Company has over the past year restructured the management team. CEO, Frances Flood was formerly employed by Ernst and Young and has been promoted from Vice President of Sales and Marketing, to President, and currently is the CEO replacing Russell Gentner the Company founder. Susie Strohm, the CFO was brought in from Newspaper Agency Corp. Kent Rogers formerly from Siemens is the Director of Sales. icia.org biz.yahoo.com The new management team's strategy has been to develop synergies with companies within related fields to enhance Gentner's distribution channels, marketability and to achieve full exposure for their technological developments. Gentner has enjoyed mutually beneficial relationships with The Teletraining Institute, Digital Xpress, Picturetel and most recently with RSI Systems. digxpr.com teletrain.com picturetel.com RSIS Gentner's initial product allowed callers to be put on the air on radio and TV shows. The Company continues to be the market leader in this area and has added teleconferencing and audio conferencing equipment as well as products that monitor remote TV and radio towers. GTNR's product mix includes: Remote Facilities Management. Broadcast Telephone interface. Teleconferencing room systems. (AudioPerfect) Assistive Listening Systems. Broadcast Telephone interface is what allows all of those people to be on a radio talk show, one at a time, while the "screener" interviews the next guest.The company has had ever growing demand for its AudioPerfect product and has found a perfect partnership with RSIS.expanding into the video conferencing area using RSIS's product in conjunction with AudioPerfect. Gentner was awarded the International Communications Industries Association's "Best of Show" award at the INFOCOMM International 1998. GTNR is a scheduled presenter again this year at INFOCOMM, June 10th at Orlando Florida as it introduces its new videoconferencing product line. infocomm.org icia.org Institutions have become attracted to this stock and have taken initial positions. Institutional investor Watson Investment Group has taken a 5% stake in the company and Kennedy Capital Management has also bought shares. We expect that Institutional interest will pick up as the stock price crosses the five dollar range and the stock becomes eligible for a Nasdaq National Market listing. TECNICAL ANALYSES: Short term technical indicators are neutral. Volume has been increasing the past 5-7 trading days. At present it appears to be some distribution of the stock . The other indicators seem to support weakness. Stochastics are in the 80 range but have been higher recently. MACD also is neutral after a weak sell signal when the stock first hit new highs. RSI (59) has broken down below its trendline and points to lower ground. However, GTNR has been holding its 20 DMA since October and is in a nice solid uptrend. Watch closely to determine entry point. The Intermediate term technical indicators are strongly positive. Stochastics are in the 90 range and have more room to run. MACD is also very positive and has indicated and confirmed a buy signal in November. RSI (81) is advancing sharply higher. The last four weeks, GTNR has hit the high mark but failed to advance. We are looking for a small pullback (very healthy) and will buy as trendlines are confirmed. CONCLUSION We believe that the first two quarters of 1999 reflect the outstanding growth opportunities for the company. CFO and VP of Finance Susie Strohm stated "Based on our pipeline of sales for the upcoming quarters and our capacity to keep our expenses in check, we are comfortable re-forecasting our yearly earnings per share to $0.23 - $0.26 for fiscal 1999 from our original projection of $0.18 - $0.23,'' This re-forecast represents a 28 -44 percent improvement over fiscal 1998 earnings per share of $0.18. The improvement in the balance sheet from year-end 1998, two quarters ago is quite impressive. Revenues increased 39% along with net income increasing 107%. Earnings per share have doubled from .06 to .12. The company's cash and equivalents have greatly improved from $ 715,325 dollars to $ 2,567,405 in the same 6 months. They have been able to manage their inventory, reducing it almost $1,000,000 dollars or approximately 30%. Management has shown us the ability to effectively operate the company. We are confident that Frances M. Flood, president and chief executive officer for Gentner, will do what she stated. ''We remain keenly focused on growing the organization year over year, both consistently and profitably, and we will continue to expand our distribution channels and product/service offerings in order to capture our fair share of the burgeoning markets we serve. We look for good things from Gentner Communciations in the future." We see the new alliance with RSI Systems as an explosive growth component to an already exciting growth story.
