| DON'T BUY | 0.290 | Ben Stadelmann | Fiber optic technology right to your home, in rural areas. Young company. Not something he would normally follow, but knows the CEO. He was impressed with the way he manages his company. In this case the company had an acquisition but has not worked out the way they hoped. Still cash flow negative. He’s watching it for now. | 2011-03-16 | |
| WAIT | 0.275 | Lesley Marks | Rocky period recently, based on disappointment on earnings and contracts. She is positive on the new management team. Given current value of stock it is best to wait on this one. | 2011-03-09 | |
| WATCH | 0.580 | Robert McWhirter | New CEO is working on pulling separate units together to enable cross selling, which would be a huge advantage for them. Earnings had a loss of $0.09 in 2009, expected $0.01 in 2011 and $0.04 in 2012 giving a 17X PE, a 13% earnings growth. Watching to see how things unfold. | 2010-12-09 | |
| Comment | 0.405 | Robert McWhirter | Analysts forecasting a loss of $.16 in earnings in 2009 April year-end. Expected to improve to $.09 loss in 2010. Doesn't like investing in companies that have losses. Latest merger is going along well and they now offer a broad sweep of solutions. Looking at rural telephone companies in the US as a sweet spot to take over existing customer base. Interesting technologies. | 2009-03-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 0.280 | Duncan Stewart | Started with a single product and then made 5 acquisitions in the last year. As fibre-optic net works are built out this company, theoretically, should benefit from that. Their problem is they are not susceptible to analysis and he does not know how much money they are going to make, etc. Potentially interesting. | 2008-12-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.400 | Werner Muehelemann | Have a technology that is essentially fibre to the home. Seems to be better technology at lower cost. Still at the product testing part, so sales as yet. Could have good sales if it works and it becomes a leader. Investors became too bullish and that's why the stock has run up. | 2008-05-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.400 | Alexander Lane, B Comm, C | Able to integrate a lot of optical components onto one chip solution at very low cost. Acquiring Wave7 Optics, which potentially puts them in competition with their customers. Not sure this is going to be a successful move. Trading at 64X 09 earnings, so it is not cheap. Speculative. Below $1 would be an interesting entry point. | 2008-04-23 | |
| Comment | 1.650 | Hugh Cleland, CFA | Have a product that would take fibre to the home. Has a high regard for the management team for what they have achieved and where they are going. It was always 2 steps ahead of where he could get his head around valuation. Leading edge technology. A “waiting on blue skies” story. | 2008-04-02 | |
| Comment | 2.900 | Hugh Cleland, CFA | Fibre to the home with a chip-based solution, which is far more cost effective than any of the competitors. Likes the company, but it was always a valuation issue with him. You really had to look out 4 or 5 years. | 2008-03-04 | |
| WATCH | 2.930 | Howard Sutton | Deals with fibre to the home for broader bandwidth. Issue has been cost. Have a chipset that from the fibre to the home can dramatically reduce the cost. Very early in the stages of revenue. The big run-up has been on the expectation of them landing contracts. He prefers to see more revenue and cash flow so he missed this one. | 2008-02-27 | |
| Comment | 2.510 | Howard Sutton | Chip to bring broadband into the home through fibre. The issue has always been the cost of bringing fibre to the home. Their chipset is a piece of the puzzle but is dramatically dropping the price of providing services. Doesn't have revenue yet. There is huge expectation on delivery but you are getting into risk of execution. | 2008-02-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 0.460 | Robert McWhirter | Their technology is the last piece of fibre to the home. Just announced a manufacturing agreement, in order to get high-volume production. It will be 2009 before profitability occurs. Very interesting technology, but it will be March-June/07 before they start up to sign large contracts. | 2006-10-25 | |
| WAIT | 0.550 | Robert McWhirter | Involved in fibre-optics to the home. Interesting new technology. Would not buy until it is closer to the time when their first chips start coming out in ’07 and then wait to see if they can ramp up volume production. | 2006-08-15 |
