DUMPERS wrong on CUST, Patents Filed, check FACTS, DD. Now that you DUMPERS have knocked CustomTracks CUST down from $61.325, to the intraday low (Tuesday June 1, 1999) of $54.875, I will have to TAKE your SHORTS and put the price back up, I predict over $60 by End Of Market (EOM) For those who believe in doing Due Diligence DD rather than running for COVER: A Filed Patent is a PATENT PENDING and has about the same protection as a patent, that is, it will have the same protection once the patent red tape clears the patent and its granted by USPTO. (US Patent and TradeMark Office) (See G.A.T.T. Treaty, etc). This company is going to beat out Verisign VRSN on the $350 Million Secure Digital Signature Market, why and how: On START UP CUST plan was to provide "custom tracks" of music CD's (make your own mix), they soon realized that copyright (Sony et al) required in securing the copyright, (from Pirates, knockoff artists etc), meant that they needed to IDENTIFY and SECURE each version and licence for: the song, the artists, the production label, music company etc; in other words, the hold up and delay was they needed to secure: "LOTS OF INFO", more info than the VRSN security system allowed for (VRSN used less Bytes, CUST allows more BYTES info), they then realized, holy smoke, this is worth more than doing custom music CD tracks, since the entire E-Commerce marketplace needs to send more info than just who you are and credit card number, its better for security to send the entire shopping basket, for a secured check out, and later data mining all that customer info, to tailor make better customer service, thus custom track of music became TRACKING CUSTOMERS instead of just CD music(CUSTOMTRACKS) in a secured digital signature SSL etc environment. As for you DUMPERS I‘ll gladly take your money, and this stock at this cheap price opportunity, I am buying more today: 58 Change:down -2 Open:61 3/8 High:61 3/8 Low:54 7/8 Volume:582,500(More4Me) 52 Wk Range: 31/2 to 90 quicken.com Share Information Market Capitalization (mil) $878.60 Current Outstanding Shrs (000's) 15,247 # of Institutional Shareholders 49 Shrs Held By Institutions (000's) 3,743 % Shrs Held By Institutions 25% Fiscal Year End Dec Total Return (trailing 5 year) 185.651% Valuation EPS 1.48 Price/Earnings 39.36 (Dec) Financial Strength Net Income (mil) $26.25 Net Sales (mil) $1.96 Management Effectiveness Return on Assets 30.21 Return on Equity N/A Revenue/Employee 130.667 Income/Employee 1750.000 hoovers.com CustomTracks Corporation CustomTracks is changing lanes like a teenager with a new Corvette. The company (formerly Amtech) has sold off its Electronic Security (Cardkey), Interactive Data, and Transportation Systems groups, which included wireless LAN terminal, asset tracking and control, data collection, mobile computing, and electronic security management products, first hoping to move into the Internet music market (it planned on making customized digital data products containing customer-requested music). After steering away from this market because of a delay in clearance for music content rights, CustomTracks is trying to break into the secure Internet transaction market while continuing to explore Internet music distribution.
