READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY

FOR WOULD BE OPXS INVESTORS - DO NOT JUMP IN BEFORE READING THE FOLLOWING SEC FILING SYNOPSIS ALONG WITH EARLY INVESTOR POSTS - you will see many of the same types of posts that are currently being posted by believers as the stock was heading down from the .30-.40 range back in 2009.

IN MY OPINION AS A BAG HOLDER - i highly recommend that all that are not interested in becoming long-term investors, play this one safe so that you do not join me and some others as a bag holder and/or lose your money. See - 4/14/14 post from an early investor that claims to be a bag holder - http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=100417827

HOW TO PLAY THIS STOCK- Due to the company (Stanley Hirschman with 80% controlling interest in OPXS) contracting Za Consulting Inc. in 6/09, OPXS was listed with various penny stock "pump & dump" promoters for one solid year, and to date, it has continued to be featured with various penny stock promoters, which has made it a fairly safe ATM play at the current trading levels - just have to time your entry so that you do not hold longer than you may want. To learn more about other Hirschman companies, see DD post by an early investor - http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=45086891

The PPS trading history has ranged from sub-penny levels to the 02's. Therefore, if you are not interested in becoming a long-term investor, the best bet imo is to buy around .01 or under and sell somewhere in the 02's. You can always use the profits to buy back in if/when this stock breaks out its trading patterns and heads north in a bigger way.

SEC FILING SYNOPSIS

The company has been maintaining consistent revs for 5+ years along with growing their stock options, which is a form of dilution, so imo, they have been bringing in enough to cover the insider's nice salaries but not enough to benefit the investor. According to the following link and as of 3/13, OPXS was down by 97.3 % since 2009, so no need to cover the revs, any new contracts or stock options etc in depth because the company clearly has some work to do to get out of the hole. http://www.smallcapnetwork.com/These-Small-Cap-Stocks-Were-Up-or-Down-20-Last-Friday-AUCI-OPXS/s/via/21051/article/view/p/mid/1/id/52/

OPXS is an OTC company that is not subjected to the same filing rules as other companies on higher exchanges. Therefore, you can not trust what you read in the filings. In addition to embellishing on facts, there may be facts that have been excluded and/or what you see in one filing may change in a later filing etc. The following is based on some initial 2009 filings.


OPXS operated as a shell corporation

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status - As a result of the consummation of the Reorganization described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company believes that it is no longer a “shell corporation,” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. --- 4/3/09 8K http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FileName=0001144204-09-018804.txt&FilePath=\2009\04\03\&CoName=OPTEX+SYSTEMS+HOLDINGS+INC&FormType=8-K&RcvdDate=4%2F3%2F2009&pdf=

Note 11-Subsequent Events

Note: imo and based on the bankruptcy notice, it would seem the company was preparing for it and set everything up even down to including getting the stock pumped via Za Consulting in order to make as much money as they could before this official notice hit the wires.

1/11/10 10k (received by Sec 3 months shy of one year after the facts ) On October 30, 2008, Alpha sold its Optex Systems, Inc.

Note - Unlike Longview, there is nothing in the initial 4/3/09 8K indicating any outstanding shares being issued to Alpha in 10/08 or 12/08, and even if shares had been issued, the 4,918,650 shares issued to Arland Holdings did not represent 10% of Alpha's OPXS Delaware common stock.
