Mr. Landa, the newly appointed executive officer, stated that the net income of $0.56 per share attributable to common shareholders was principally the result of the sale of the acoustics division. Mr. Landa further stated that management intends to use some of the cash reserves to invest or participate in other companies. This strategy emulates a number of publicly held companies who have used innovative investment strategies much like a private venture capital company to create value for their shareholders. The Company is actively reviewing possible transactions with a number of companies. Management looks principally for three factors in any situation: (1) product that can reach market; (2) management with sufficient experience and energy; and (3) a viable exit strategy. The Company will continue to operate its various lines of technology and believes it has more than sufficient resources to do so.
As previously announced, a private placement of 250,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share was completed May 3, 1999 in order to provide the Company with some additional capital. |
