POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Jan 21, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Forward Industries, Inc. (FORD) , a designer and distributor of custom carrying case solutions, today announced results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2002.
See attached tables.
First Quarter 2003 Financial Highlights -- compared to first quarter 2002 results
-- Net sales increased 30% to $5.7 million.
-- Operating income more than tripled to $545,611.
-- Net income more than quadrupled to $559,146 or $.10 per
diluted share.
Jerome E. Ball, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Forward, stated, "We are very pleased to report our fifth consecutive quarter of profitability. The higher sales levels achieved were due to increased orders for both our home medical equipment cases and cellular phone cases. The continued strong sales of our diabetic monitoring equipment carrying cases reflect the efforts we have made to penetrate this important market. We generated approximately $640,000 in sales to third parties under our license agreement with Motorola, up 28% from the same period last year. Importantly, we are now selling our products into more than 20 countries under this license agreement, which further expands our customer base.
"Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23% from 29% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. These results demonstrate our ability to increase revenues without a corresponding increase in our operating expenses."
Mr. Ball continued, "Our financial position remains strong with $1.4 million in cash and no borrowings outstanding under our line of credit at December 31, 2002. During the quarter, we repurchased 35,200 shares of the Company's common stock under the 400,000-share buyback program that we announced in September, and we plan to buy additional shares, subject to market conditions."
Mr. Ball concluded, "We are optimistic about the remainder of fiscal 2003 and beyond. We are focused on capitalizing on our core markets, and further expanding our relationships with our existing customer base. We look forward to reporting our progress."

Technology Research Corporation Announces Strong Third Fiscal Quarter Results: 23% Increase in Revenues and 621% Increase in Net Income
TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2003 2:48 PM
- BusinessWire
CLEARWATER, Fla., Jan 21, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Robert S. Wiggins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Technology Research Corporation (TRC), (TRCI) announced today that the Company's operating revenues for the third quarter ended December 31, 2002 were $4,582,284, compared to $3,724,728 reported in the same quarter last year, an increase of approximately 23%. Net income for the current quarter was $311,963, compared to $43,269, for the same quarter last year, an increase of approximately 621%. Basic and diluted earnings for the current quarter were $.06 per share compared to $.01 per share for the same quarter last year.
The Company's operating revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002 were $12,406,418, compared to $12,702,752 reported in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of approximately 2%. Net income for the nine-month period was $647,549, compared to $101,517, for the same period in the prior year, an increase of approximately 538%. Basic and diluted earnings for the nine-month period were $.12 per share compared to basic and diluted earnings of $.02 per share for the same period of the prior year.
Mr. Wiggins stated that he was pleased with the improvement in net income for the Company's third quarter and nine-month periods. The improvement was the result of increased gross profit margins and lower interest expense. Gross profit margins improved as the result of product mix plus productivity and quality improvements in manufacturing. Interest expense was reduced as a result of the Company remaining debt-free during its second and third quarters. Currently, all of the Company's $3,000,000 line of credit is available for use, and the Company's cash balance as of December 31, 2002 grew to $1,763,364.
For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002, commercial revenues decreased by $913,037, military revenues improved by $644,912 and royalty income was down by $28,209 compared to the prior year's period. The decrease in commercial revenues was primarily due to competitive pressures and the current weakness in the global economy; however, commercial revenues for the fourth quarter should strengthen somewhat as the Company recently announced that it received orders in the amount of $650,000 for its Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters from a major sprayer/washer manufacturer to be shipped in the fourth quarter. Increased direct military shipments of field support parts for existing systems and strong shipments of control devices related to the Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) programs resulted in record military revenues of $2,027,695 for the Company in the third quarter. Raymond B. Wood, Senior Vice President and Director of Government Operations and Marketing, commented, "We are very pleased with the increase in military revenues, which was achieved by our effective response to military deployment product requirements. We are well on our way to achieving a record revenue year."
The market for the Company's Fire Shield(R) products continues to develop. During the second and third quarters, the Company shipped Fire Shield Power Surge Strips, a new product, to approximately 600 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. In addition, Fire Shield licensed technology generated royalties of approximately $50,000 during the fiscal year so far. Fire Shield product sales and royalties currently represent approximately 1% of the Company's total revenues. The Company believes that its patented Fire Shield technology represents its most significant opportunity for growth.
The third quarter dividend of $.01 per share will be paid on January 24, 2003 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2002. The fourth quarter dividend of $.015 per share will reflect the increase in the Company's quarterly dividend and will be paid on April 25, 2003 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2003.
TRC is a internationally recognized leader in electrical safety products that prevent electrocution and electrical fires and protect against serious injury from electrical shock. Based on its core technology in ground fault sensing, products are designed to meet the needs of the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide.

Western Digital Reports Revenue of $749.5 Million, 10.3 Million Units Shipped, EPS of $.36 for Second Fiscal Quarter
Sequential Growth of 29% in Revenues, 200% in Operating Income; ASPs Rise in Favorable Industry Environment
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Jan 23, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) today reported revenues of $749.5 million on shipments of approximately 10.3 million units, and net income of $74.4 million, or $.36 per share, for its second fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2002. Excluding a $1.3 million non-recurring gain from discontinued operations, net income would have been $73.0 million, or $.36 per share.
For the year-ago quarter ended December 28, 2001, the Company reported revenue of $574.7 million on shipments of approximately 7.7 million units, and net income of $12.6 million, or $.07 per share. Excluding $3.5 million of non-recurring investment gains, net income for the year-ago period would have been $9.1 million, or $.05 per share.
On a sequential basis, the second quarter results represented 20 percent growth in units from 8.6 million in the first fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2002, 29 percent growth in revenues from $583 million, and a 200 percent increase in operating income. Gross profit increased 72 percent as gross margins expanded to 19.2 percent from 14.3 percent.
"The hard drive industry faced very favorable conditions in the second quarter and Western Digital executed extremely well in addressing customer needs in this context," said Matt Massengill, chairman and chief executive officer. "These results demonstrate the significant earnings leverage and financial efficiency of our business and operating model."
Massengill noted that the Company's average selling price rose to $73, from $68 in the September quarter, reflecting favorable industry supply/demand conditions, especially in the distribution channel, and a richer mix of multi-platter hard drives for Western Digital.
"Business with the major PC OEM customers was strong, our distribution sales were on track, and our retail business was very healthy," said Massengill. "We saw strength across all geographies, with the sharpest sequential gains coming in North America and in Asia-Pacific, where we have increased our focus and made inroads with OEMs."
The Company's balance sheet was strengthened as its cash position increased $82 million to $327 million from the September quarter. Cash generated from operations was $92 million, up $47 million sequentially due to improved profitability and outstanding asset management.

Technology Research Corporation Announces All-Time High Quarterly Results
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2003 11:46 AM

TRCI
12.00 +2.211
CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct 22, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Robert S. Wiggins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Technology Research Corporation (TRC), (TRCI) announced today that the Company's operating revenues for the second quarter ended September 30, 2003 were $6,212,654, compared to $3,968,816 reported in the same quarter last year, an increase of approximately 57%. Net income for the current quarter was $793,860, compared to $206,131, for the same quarter last year, an increase of approximately 285%. Basic and diluted earnings for the current period were $.14 per share compared to $.04 per share for the same quarter last year.
The Company's operating revenues for the six-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $11,872,569, compared to $7,824,134 reported in the same period of the prior year, an increase of approximately 52%. Net income for the six-month period was $1,377,960, compared to $335,586, for the same period in the prior year, an increase of approximately 311%. Basic earnings were $.25 per share and diluted earnings were $.24 per share for the six-month period compared to basic and diluted earnings of $.06 per share for the same period last year.
Mr. Wiggins commented, "The Company is experiencing a banner year with second quarter revenues and earnings at an all-time high. The Company's manufacturing facilities continue to operate efficiently, and the Company ended the quarter with $3,272,492 in cash and remained debt-free." Mr. Wiggins added, "The outlook for the remainder of the Company's fiscal year looks positive."
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2003, commercial sales increased by $1,677,261, military sales improved by $2,399,398 and royalty income was down by $28,224 compared to the prior year's period. The increase in commercial revenues was partially attributed to shipments of product in the amount of $450,000 to a major sprayer/washer manufacturer in the first quarter, and shipments of approximately $597,000 of the Company's Fire Shield(R) extension cords in Home Depot and Fire Shield(R) Surge Strips in Wal-Mart throughout the first and second quarters. New accounts in the Recreational Vehicle, Brand Label and Commercial Distribution markets contributed to the remainder of the growth. Military revenues were unusually strong due to direct military shipments of support parts for existing systems and control devices related to the Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) programs. The increase in direct military shipments is primarily the result of current U.S. military activity.
The Company is making significant progress this year in marketing its Fire Shield(R) brand name. As noted above, the Company shipped approximately $600,000, or 5% of sales, of Fire Shield(R) products to two major retailers in the first two quarters, and the Company is pursuing other like opportunities. In addition, the Company received approximately $36,000 in royalties in the second quarter related to Fire Shield(R) licensed technology. The Company's patented Fire Shield(R) technology has numerous applications and represents the Company's most significant opportunity for growth. For example, the Company is well-positioned to participate in the estimated $60 million annual market created by the 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) currently scheduled requirement for cord fire protection on portable room air conditioners which are manufactured after August 1, 2004. The Company's Fire Shield(R) LCDI power cords for this application have successfully completed the UL testing requirements for the new 1699 standard and are available for production.
The second quarter dividend of $.015 per share will be paid on October 24, 2003 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2003. The Company's annual dividend is expected to be $.06 per share.

Was mich noch mehr ärgert ist Laserscope(LSCP) - da habe ich nämlich die guten Meldungen mitbekommen und habe trotzdem nur zugeguckt.
Immerhin hat der Kauf von NGEN genau gepasst - fast optimal erwischt bei 3,05$.
So, bin jetzt aber wirklich weg, sonst krieg ich Ärger.

Sehr schön auch NTST mit Ansage(seit 9,6$ im Depot), TINY auf ATH und wenn jetzt noch POSO den Dollar knackt war das ein richtig netter Jahresabschluss :-)
Und? Wer berichtet seit einem Jahr über sie??? Natürlich, der Eskimato!!!
Also absolut, Hut ab! Bis ich mich vom "Niveau" her mit dir messen kann, muss ich noch viel lernen! Aber sag mal ehrlich, dat Ding ist einfach nur krass, oder?

Kennst Du DCAI und MDKI? MDKI ist mit knapp 60% an DCAI beteiligt und allein die Beteiligung liegt weit höher als die Market-Cap von MDKI... heiße Teile aus dem Boom-Markt Dialyse!
Gruß Pavian
Die Entwicklung von MDKI und DCAI kenne ich sehr genau.
Ich habe Fresenius Medical aus dem DAX mit gleichem Geschäftsfeld mal sehr billig eingekauft, die Peer ist mein Thema.
Ich bin derzeit unter anderem in Stammzellenaktien unterwegs.
Zu den Stammzellenshares ala GERN, ASTM, STEM musst Du den den Spiegel 53/04 lesen. Die Kinder von Beslan auf dem Titelblatt, liegt vielleicht noch beim Friseur oder Hausarzt. Arnie Schwarzenegger und die Stammzelleneshares.
In den vergangenen Wochen hatte ich über 90 An-und Verkäufe in US-Shares. Ich kann das gar nicht alles hier aufzeigen, ich brauche die Kraft zum Traden, nicht um ARIVA zu unterhalten. Allerdings würde ich mit Dir aus alter Freundschaft einen Contest machen. Ich sag was ich kaufe, Du mir.
Nue reale Käufe und Verkäufe, auf Spielchen hab ich keine Lust mehr.
Dann zeig ich Dir IFUE an der OTC oder RSTG an der OTC und son paar andere Überraschungen.
Oder unser alter Liebling SCLN steht bei mir in Kürze ganz oben auf der Kaufliste. Kann das sein? Zwei Kandidaten in Phase 3 und der Share verliert von Tag zu Tag?
Da will ich Butter bei die Fische. Ich kaufe SCLN bald, Du auch?
Etc. etc. Wenn Du die Realität als neuen Thread aufmachst bin ich sofort dabei, die Möchtegerne könnnen mich mal.
RURL ist toll, die Chance unter 3,50 gab es für mich seit Deinem Erstposting. Mein Gedächtnis ist besser als mir lieb ist.
Gruss E.
starker Vorschlag, klingt interessant, sich mit Dir über aktuelle Käufe/Verkäufe ad-hoc auszutauschen. Allerdings weiß ich nicht, ob ich Dir gerecht werden kann, wenn ich nicht ständig bei Ariva präsent sein kann...?
Die Stammzellenforscher habe ich auch schon lange im Auge, Geron sogar im Depot. Stemcells und Aastrom sind mir aber bislang immer zu heftig gewesen, den starken Anstiegen folgten stets kräftige Abstürze..
SCLN habe ich lange nicht mehr angeschaut, werde ich nun aber machen und nächste woche mal meinen senf dazu geben..
Was mich derzeit aber fesselt sind DCAI und MDKI, die Du offenbar schon lange vor mir entdeckt hast.. Glückwunsch, das gönn ich Dir! Eskivanaboard kann ich nicht lesen, geht auch keinen außerhalb eurer Gruppe etwas an. Daraus schließe ich aber dass es Eure Investmentgemeinschaft tatsächlich noch gibt, was? Jedenfalls sind mir DCAI und MDKI bis lürzlich durch die Lappen, der Markt für Dialyse scheint aber weiter interessant zu sein... DaVita ist auf Einkaufstour... Leider kann ich keine vernünftige Peer-Group finden, hast Du noch Dialyse-Unternehmen, die ihr Geschäft in der USA betreiben in der watchlist? würde mich brennend interessieren!
Freue mich, von Dir am WE zu hören!
Grüße
Pavian
