We'll get earnings Tuesday, so we should hear much more about how their internet connection products are doing. With covid, demand for wifi should be high. Looking forward to how the production move from China to Vietnam is going. If ZMTP can get nasdaq uplisting, share price can double from here.

[StayOptimistic]

I like the way you’re thinking. Any other info or thoughts you can share would be greatly appreciated.

[StayOptimistic]

Glad to finally find a board that talks about Zoom Telephonics. Long time holder since the early days. I’m hoping they get a buyout as well to finally cash in. It’s been a long and bumpy road over the years but I really feel like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel in upcoming year.

What do you guys think?

[End Game]

I promised $3. CEO's holdings have gone from 17.5% of outstanding shares July 14 2020, to 37.6%...8,895,358 shares. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy doesn't just offer to buy the entire company for $6/share.

News: $ZMTP Zoom® Telephonics Schedules Release of Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Boston, MA, Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (OTCQB: ZMTP) (“Zoom” or the “Company”), a leading producer of cable modems and other communication products, announced today that it expects to release its financial results...

Read the whole news ZMTP - Zoom® Telephonics Schedules Release of Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

[End Game]

Won't be long now. The new Zmtp will be revealed soon. Either they get bought out or they ramp for a decade.

[End Game]

ZMTP $3 soon.

[End Game]

Congrats, that was some kind of gain! For me ZMTP is a hedge against another market crash, with potential for multi bagger profits.

[dg33]

It's hard to know what to do with the low-priced stocks and taking a profit is always great. Sometimes I've sold way too soon and other held on so long that the stock went down to where I bought it. My biggest win was Hemacare (HEMA). My apologies if I've mentioned it before. Average buy price was .28 across all my shares (most at .20 - .25). Eight years after I started buying it the company was bought out at $25.40 a share. I never sold a share in those 8 years. I figure it was a once in a lifetime event, although I would welcome a second occurrence. Let's see if ZMTP can be another Arris. Doubt it. It's a long way to go to being bought out for $7.4B.

[End Game]

Once it went over $1 the first time after the OTC listing, I just put in a few thousand share sell orders every $.10. The last 5K share sale was for 2600% gain. I’ve reloaded since, but with much lower number of shares, but enough to make a difference in my life...if she runs. At the time I considered this a Vegas bet, but not now. I’ve made a true Vegas bet on GTXO. Balance sheet isn’t good, but I like their GPS products and now ramping Covid PPE products.

[dg33]

I thought about selling many of my shares at $3 but if I did I''m sure it would have gone to $10. It's as if I enter an alternate universe when I sell. Ditto for when I buy. I buy for the long haul, in this case thinking as you do that we will be a $10 stock.

[End Game]

Yes, I owned the Zoom nasdaq shares(large position) when ZMTP was spun off to the OTC exchange. I finally sold my China ZOOM shares for a $60K loss, when that company turned out to be a fraud. I kept my 200K shares under $.20/share for years. When they won the motorola contract, price went over $3, I sold for $200K profits. Kept 10% and started accumulating again on the price crash. ZMTP is my top two holding now. Too many ZMTP proven power players in management, that hold common shares, not to be a 10 bagger in five years.

[dg33]

Thanks. I found that after I posted. An S-1. As you said, a non-issue. I wish I saw the stock drop below 1.84. I would have been all over it at that price. It will be interesting to see if Zoom can create itself as a large company one of these days. Many years ago it sold for $8 a share, then dropped into the pennies. My average buying price is 20 cents and I've added more shares even at $1.81 believing that the future will be excellent.

[End Game]

A sec registration statement filed today. A no issue. This stock will be $3 soon.

[dg33]

I can find no news. If someone put in an open order to sell 100K shares the stock would drop a lot given that it's fairly thinly traded. The current price could be a buying opportunity

[swampboots]

ZMTP 1.54?

[End Game]

Sold 500 shares yesterday at $2.45 for 170% gain. Didn’t want to, but have so much, I force myself to take a little profit on my multi bagger runs.

[End Game]

Palm Global Small Cap Master Fund LP upped its shares to 1,191,640 in the investment.

Jeremy Hitchcock...Zulu bought another 800K shares in the private investment at $1.52. That makes him 4,602,321 shares and 21.5% shareowner.

Amazing that the retired CEO, Frank Manning bought another 200K of the investment, giving him 2,220,773 shares total.

Phil Stanhope bought 70K.

The filing also said new director David Allen bought shares in the investment.

These guys aren't going to be happy with just a 1 bagger from here. Nasdaq listing within a year!

[zenvesting]

This is only the beginning, the company has several objectives that could restore the Motorola brand name to a market leading position in home networking:

- soon they will be relocating manufacturing so we can realize some profits instead of paying tariffs.
- several exciting new products to release,
- a MSO sales strategy that could see this company beginning to receive individual purchase orders that represent double digit growth.

This March 2020 Investor Presentation is a good overview of their objectives:

[End Game]

Hope you stayed in buddy. Finally Zoom is getting volume.

[End Game]

A lot of sell orders in the $1.80 range, but man this thing looks ready to fly $2.50-$3 over the next month.

[End Game]

"OOT: Did you happen to get any of the ZOOM ticker from that deal? I don't know how it all went down back then, but I was seriously loathing that ZMTP didn't keep that ZOOM ticker this spring when idiots looking for ZM stock in the market drove that China scam stock up something like 1500%!"

Yes, I owned plenty of the Zoom ticker back then. I realized even before Frank did, the China company was a fraud. The CEO would be on conference calls, but we never got a live shot or photo of him. Only the CFO. Like I said, I lost over $60K, but still cashed out $35K when I sold. Frank sold ZMTP's stock of Zoom a few months later. We had been had by then.

[End Game]

Good info, I didn't know about happy hour. I'll join as a ZMTP moderator too.
I rarely look at these boards here except for one of my holdings...gtxo.

Many moon's ago when I was heavy in zoom stock before the China company took it. I told Frank and others Zoom dot com could be a top 10 generic marketing domain and brand. They didn't believe and just didn't understand how perfect the name was. Seems like zmtp got $80K worth of Zoom China stock for the domain if I remember correctly. Even after the China Zoom turned out to be a fraud, ZMTP didn't get the domain back. I know the broker that sold Zoom dot com to Zoom Video and it was close to $1 million. Of course now it's a top 10 global brand and the domain is worth over $10 million. Frank was a good and honest man though and did his best after being lied to by China Zoom's management.

The fact Frank saved ZMTP after that and won the first motorola contract was a miracle. I lost $60K on the China Zoom stock. I got some ZMTP shares with the exchange, but kept buying after price went below $.15. I've netter over $200K profits so far after selling 90% of my shares. Reloaded when it dropped to $1. Ready for another ride of my life, but not with as many shares.

I've researched Jeremy's history and products. I'm a huge fan now. The sky will be the limit when they get relisted on the Nasdaq.

[zenvesting]

OT: Us Free users can send me a PM during happy hour between 4:00-5:00 on Fridays.

No, nonamestocks uses the same handle here on I-Hub, I appreciate his work too, he was also early in HemaCare (HEMA), which was an awesome entry in an incredible growth/value stock! I have used the monikers Zen lunatic420 and zenvesting for the past 20 years or so.....but haven't posted my pitch notes publicly.

....I should probably get admin privileges for this board and update it too sometime....

OOT: Did you happen to get any of the ZOOM ticker from that deal? I don't know how it all went down back then, but I was seriously loathing that ZMTP didn't keep that ZOOM ticker this spring when idiots looking for ZM stock in the market drove that China scam stock up something like 1500%!

Don't sell ZMTP short....the tariffs are going away as we speak and the company will be profitable without them. You should look closer at what Jeremy's current company, Minim is doing with network operators and appreciate the potential synergies between Minim's offering to network operators and Zoom's next generation products. My initial sell target is a few bucks over $3 in a couple years time.

[End Game]

I don't have DM privilege here. You aren't no name stocks are you? He has zmtp on his list. I've been in this stock for over a decade. Lost a ton when the china company took over the nasdaq listing and turned it into a fraud, but more than made it up when ZMTP won the motorola contract. The last I sold over $3 was for 2600% gains! Don't think that will happen from here, but their future is very bright. Jeremy has brought in some of his old management from the company Oracle bought.

[zenvesting]

I fully agree and would also mention that their next generation products and SERVICES (based on Minim's network security platform), along with Zoom's focus to re-establish Motorola as a supplier of customer premises equipment (CPE) to multiple service operators (MSOs) could see them begin taking in individual orders that represent double digit growth percentages for them. If just one mid-sized cable network operator adopts their (and Minim's) new home network security platform, they could be looking at hundreds of thousands of units of hardware and who knows how much potential recurring revenue from their network services, that are yet to be fully explained....but basically think about them and Minim selling a platform that enables all the things xFinity offers from Wifi mgmt, IoT security, to actual monitored physical security systems. I look forward to the imminent news of how these services develop and am happy to be heavily positioned here!

FWIW, I pitched he company at the MicrocapClub.com Leadership conference last September. If anyone wants to PM me an e-mail address, I'd be glad to forward you a copy of my pitch notes.

[End Game]

Going to $5/share and uplisting to nasdaq. Jeremy Hitchcock is a genius, that built his company from scratch and sold to Oracle. He bacame a major share owner when he bought 18% of Zoom. Either he will be new CEO or someone else just as smart. The 5 year motorola license was huge and few even noticed. .001% of investors even know of this company for now. They are right in the middle of stay at home internet connections and secure AI, IOT, VR devices.

[swampboots]

Great picks of yours hitting when market so challenging, all ups worth double for you, my men are in solitary confinement with no windows.

Zoom Telephonics Reports Record Sales of $12 Million for Q1 2020; Up 49.3% From Prior Year Quarter
GlobeNewswire
•May 11, 2020


Boston, MA, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom”) (ZMTP), a leading creator of cable modems and other Internet access products, reported financial results for its 2020 first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

Net sales were $12 million, up 49% year over year
Gross profit was $3.1 million, up 28% year over year
Gross profit margin was 25.9%, down from 30.2% in prior year first quarter
GAAP net loss was $0.8 million, a 33% improvement year over year
Non-GAAP net income was $0.7 million after adjusting for tariff expenses of $1.5 million
First Quarter 2020 Business Overview

Overall, the company produced record sales of $12 million during the quarter, despite the significant economic disruptions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. This level of sales has not been seen in over a decade. Consumer demand for networking products was strong throughout the quarter, supported by substantial online shipping activity. Zoom was able to ensure continuity of supply through Covid-19 disruptions experienced in Asia as early as January 2020, and supply chain conditions can be characterized as “returning to normal” at present.

The company expects to have completed the shifting of its manufacturing operations to other locations by the end of the second quarter, with the tariff expense declining to near zero by early in the third quarter. After the quarter end, Zoom announced the extension and expansion of its Motorola license. In addition to the inclusion of new product families, the license agreement now runs through 2025.

Zoom’s 2020 plan centers on an aggressive new product rollout schedule that remains very much on track. The proliferation of video-based communication services, due in part to so many people working from home, is driving an increased emphasis on optimizing home networks. The company is experiencing strong demand for its already popular gateway products, which are available through online shopping and brick and mortar platforms such as Amazon and BestBuy.

As previously reported, the company has convened a search committee to identify a CEO following the resignation of Joe Wytanis.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Review

Zoom reported an increase in net sales of 49.3% to $12.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 up from $8.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in sales resulted from robust demand in its ecommerce and retail channels.

Gross profit was $3.1 million or 25.9% of net sales in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $2.4 million or 30.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 2019. Tariff expenses increased cost of goods by $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $445 thousand in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding tariff expense, gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2020 would have been 38.4%. The company also experienced one-time increased supply-chain fulfillment costs brought on by Covid-19 disruptions in order to assure the ability to satisfy customer demand.

Operating expenses were $3.8 million, compared to $3.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase versus the prior year was primarily due to increased General and Administrative expenses incurred in support of Zoom’s product rollout and growth strategy.

The company ended the quarter with $5.0 million of working capital and a current ratio of 1.83x. Zoom had drawn $387 thousand on a $3.0 million line of credit; with no long-term debt; and $5.7 million of stockholders’ equity.

Conference Call Details
The conference call for this quarter, which was previously scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, 2020 – 10:00 a.m. ET, has been cancelled. The company intends to issue its first quarter 2020 earnings in its Form 10-Q quarterly report, as planned on May 15, 2020.

Zoom Telephonics Announces CEO Transition
GlobeNewswire
•May 11, 2020


Boston, MA, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom”) (ZMTP), a leading creator of cable modems and other Internet access products, today announced that Joe Wytanis has stepped down from the position of CEO. To ensure a smooth transition, Wytanis will act as an advisor to the board. Zoom’s Board of Directors has formed a CEO search committee, led by Zoom Chairman Jeremy Hitchcock.

“I am extremely proud of the team’s accomplishments throughout my tenure,” said Wytanis. “As the demand for reliable home connectivity has never been higher, Zoom is on an exciting trajectory. We’ve seen outstanding growth in e-commerce and storefront retail, inspiring Zoom to focus its product development and marketing initiatives. Accordingly, we have decided Zoom needed leadership more specialized in those areas as I pursue career opportunities closer to my home location and in the cable MSO space. I look forward to my continued involvement.”

Joe Wytanis joined Zoom in 2018 as a veteran of the Cable Multi-Network Operator (MSO) industry, serving in executive roles at High Tech Associates, Flextronics, SMC Networks, and Cisco Systems.

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Joe for his exceptional leadership,” said Hitchcock. “He has expertly leveraged the company’s strengths in manufacturing, supply chain management, and talent to unlock new growth opportunities, even in the face of Covid-19 challenges. We appreciate his participation in finding his successor and wish him much success in his future endeavors.”

This management announcement follows Zoom’s recent CFO appointment last quarter. In the past year, Zoom has bolstered the executive team for a new phase of expansion. Key hires include:

• Jacquelyn Barry Hamilton, now Zoom CFO, formerly served as CFO at Modo Labs, Netcracker Technology, Intronis, and the Global Technology Division at Monster Worldwide.

• Phil Stanhope, now Zoom CTO, formerly served as VP Technology Strategy, Dyn/Oracle and VP Engineering at Yottaa, Wimba, Aspen Technology, and Adesso Systems.

• John Lauten, now Zoom SVP Operations, formerly served in operational leadership roles at SKULLY Technologies, TechCXO, FOX Factory, and Cisco.

Later today, Zoom Telephonics will be releasing Q1 2020 financial results. The earnings call previously scheduled for May 12, 2020 will be cancelled. For more information, visit http://www.zoomtel.com

Heavy volume and strong price action here in light of the current market.

Maybe they're close to finalizing the move of their manufacturing, or maybe the are close to their first order from a service provider to use their Motorola products as customer premises equipment (CPE)? ...or maybe its just the knuckleheads chasing ZOOM thinking it was ZM have now found ZMTP, lol!

[swampboots]

ZMTP .77 now I am glad ran out of money chasing at the 1.10 no brainer.

[zenvesting]

LOL! I'm glad someone is listening! eom

[swampboots]

Yes I was following your posts and I hired you without you knowledge.

[zenvesting]

Nice entry! I'm not sure the tariffs are coming off of Zoom's products, but I am sure Zoom is shifting manufacturing this quarter to get out from underneath the tariffs on their own terms.

What's more, Zoom is customizing Motorola's next generation modems and routers with features the ISPs and MSO's want to make them their preferred choice for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), which will also enable Zoom to provide high demand services for WiFi management, IoT security, and parental controls on screen time and content.....as well as other services the market hasn't even envisioned yet.

I like the changes the company has made over the past year by adding visionary leadership to the BOD, connected broadband salespeople to management, and I have locked down my position to see how this develops in the long term.

[swampboots]

ZMTP 1.31 tariffs off!

[swampboots]

ZMTP 1.31 tariffs off!

[swampboots]

OK ZMPT, took some 1.10's.

[zenvesting]

I presented ZMTP as my favorite investment idea for the year ahead at The Microcap Leadership Summit in September 2019.

My case for share price appreciation in the year ahead was based on these three points:

1.)  At the time, the company's share price was being too highly discounted at $0.75 due to largely temporary problems of tariffs that they are dilligently working to remedy.  Further to that point, I believe last quarters earnings report demonstrated good growth and progress on margins as the company has plans to shift most of its manufacturing out of China in the coming quarter.  If you subtract the ~$1 million the company paid in tariffs, they would have reported ~$800k in profits, or $0.04 EPS.  

2.)  The company's recent sales and marketing staff additions and their strong contacts and histories of selling into large ISPs and MSOs could drive substantial growth if they see success in this strategy.  Motorola used to be a preferred brand of many network operators for customer premesis equipment (CPE) and this should be a fairly easy sell once products are updated with this goal in mind.  Joe Wytanis made some comments on last quarters call that new product introductions expected in early 2020 have been designed with input from these prospective customers, so I remain optimistic about this strategy bearing fruit.

3.)  The recent investment from Jeremy Hitchcock and alliance with his company, Minim, gives ZMTP a low risk, low investment foot in the door to selling home network security services (IoT, WiFi, and parental controls) and could strengthen ZMTP's prospects for selling CPE into the ISPs and MSOs who are looking to white-label Minims software and offer it to their customers, as well as strengthens ZMTP's direct to consumer offerings with ZMTP's own white-labeled version of Minim's software tools for managed Wifi, IoT security and parental controls.  

I think 2020 has good potential to be a transformative year for this company as it focusses on these strategies for profitable growth. 

I made ZMTP is a core holding of mine in the $0.80 cent range over the summer of 2019 and am looking to hold it for long term gains on a rebound to its former highs over $3 or more per share based only on success in point 1 above, they have blue sky potential for the upside with their sales strategy targeting service operators and home network security applications.

News out USTR Denies All Zoom Telephonics Requests for China Tariff Exemptions
Boston, MA - (NewMediaWire) - November 11, 2019 - Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom” or “the Company”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), a leading producer of cable modems and other communication products, today reported that the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has denied the last of the remaining Zoom requests for tariff exemptions due to severe economic harm caused by those tariffs. Details were not provided by USTR, and Zoom is reviewing its options. The Company’s current plan is to transfer manufacture of the vast majority of its products out of China, with most planned for Vietnam, as detailed in Zoom’s recent conference call for the third quarter of 2019.

Frank Manning, Zoom’s CEO and Chairman, commented: “This news is not surprising; but it is very disappointing due to the severe harm we’ve been experiencing from the China tariffs, which have dramatically impacted our profits, cash flow, allocation of human resources, and stock price. We wish we could provide insight into this USTR decision, but we can’t do that now or possibly ever because we simply don’t understand their decision making in spite of significant efforts. We have been working hard to move most of our production out of China, and that work will continue. Our goal is significant production in Vietnam in the first quarter of 2020, followed by the vast majority of our production in Vietnam in Q2 2020. We are very thankful to the many people who supported our filing including US Congresspeople, Massachusetts state legislators, investors, and Zoom employees. This was a worthwhile effort, and we executed it well. I’m sorry we did not have a better outcome.”

[zenvesting]

I've been building a position here based on Jeremy Hitchcock's investment and the company's outlook to evolve into home network security.

Some interesting excerpts from the Q1 2019 shareholder cc:

Moving to next slide, #8, we're very pleased with the recent financing we closed this week. It provides working capital and helps us more aggressively develop new products. It also brings us closer to an important strategic partner, Minim, as we move to significantly increase the capabilities of some of our new products. With the financing, we've got new board members, Jeremy Hitchcock and Jonathan Seelig, who are both co-founders of very successful network communications companies. We think that they will be very helpful as we set our course moving forward. You can also see that it's a priority for us to trade on NASDAQ. Figure 9 shows the impact of the financing on our balance sheet items, including pro forma figures that simply assume that the March 31, 2019, balance sheet was improved by $5 million in cash from the private financing announced this week. That cash will be used primarily for working capital and for product-related expenses to grow the company. Now let's look at some of the near- and long-term opportunities for Zoom. On Slide 10, we summarize our Motorola exclusive license. This has evolved over time and our license now extends through 2020 on a wide range of networking products. We believe that we're far down the road to extending our license well past 2020, but we can't guarantee that yet. Slide 11 updates our position in Amazon. Recently, our share of cable modem sales has been around 25%. We've got an unusually high number of Amazon issues recently, typically due to some hiccup in the giant Amazon machine. The good news is that we keep improving our systems for dealing with Amazon issues and that our Amazon sales and cash flow remain strong. Slide 12 reminds you of some of our important customers. These are the top U.S. retailers of electronics, and we're excited about the prospects of growing our shelf space and shelf position this quarter. With that, I'd like to turn it over to Joe for some discussion on our sales channels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Lee Wytanis, Zoom Telephonics, Inc. - President & COO [3] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Frank. Slide 13 summarizes some of our near-term sales channel goals, starting with increased storefront sales in Q2 2019. We've made excellent progress with a major retailer that will result in increased product placements this quarter. In the service provider channel, we are focusing our initial attention on Tier 2 and 3 cable operators in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. To reach these operators, we are forming relationships with key distribution partners and industry organizations. We're excited about the Motorola cellular multi-sensor we began shipping at the end of March and the downstream recurring revenue that, that will provide. It is our full intention to build added features and functionality into our future cable modem, router, WiFi mesh router controllers, extenders and other router products. This includes unique security, network and cloud capabilities that will offer us differentiation in the marketplace. I will discuss this more on the next slide, but certainly a key point is the downstream recurring revenue this will create. As just mentioned, we fully intend to expand our sales presence into international markets, starting with adjacent markets of Canada and Mexico. As I alluded on the previous slide, Slide 14 speaks to the exciting prospect of Zoom teaming up with Minim, whose CEO, Jeremy Hitchcock, just invested $4.1 million in our company through his family fund. Having Jeremy on the board and his company, Minim, working closely with us in partnership will create tremendous possibilities for Zoom. At a very high level, it would allow users of Motorola products to easily manage their wireless home network from a Motorola application they will download. The application will give end-users access to parental controls, manage WiFi settings, create usage limits and much more. But that's not all. It will allow our Motorola customer tech support team to provide outstanding customer service support by providing remote network diagnostics and management of home network endpoint devices. Slide 15 summarizes some exciting technology trends that will help drive growth for Zoom. The rollout and adoption of DOCSIS 3.1 for higher downstream and upstream speeds continues. We are developing new DOCSIS 3.1 products with enhanced capabilities. Achieving better in-home WiFi coverage while making it simple to install continues to grow in importance. We embrace open standards, including the support of EasyMesh, and we are developing new mesh products. With the blazing speeds DOCSIS 3.1 can provide, we don't want users constrained by the WiFi throughput. So we are developing products that include WiFi 802.11ax technology. As I mentioned before, we see the need for end-users to have greater control of their home network -- WiFi network -- with easy-to-use network management and security. We intend to include this capability in some of our new products moving forward. Of course, this will provide downstream recurring revenue for us through subscription in cloud services. Faster internet speeds, coverage outside the home and new applications are right around the corner. We continue to put attention on developing new cellular product solutions, with a keen eye on 5G. Finally, we view home security and energy management as a very interesting IoT market segment for our company to move to, and we are developing products that include technologies that support this segment. In summary, we are going through some difficult tariff headwinds. However, we're excited about our prospects, and we appreciate your support. We'd now like to open it up for questions.

Please review most current presentation~

http://www.zoomtel.com/documentation/investor/ZoomPresentation-Q4-2017.pdf

Upon review of this document investors will understand why we are so excited about the short as well as long term future for zmtp shares.

A new 13G filing discloses a seller that has weighed on the stock and actually has created a flatline share price for a long period of time. It appears the "trust" that has been selling is almost out of paper !

During the past 2 years the company has seen revenues grow by 60+%/year and the stock has floundered . Upon review of the presentation mentioned above it will be evident that with a whole slew of new products and worldwide reach that revenue for 2018 could easily surpass $40-$45 million and show a very healthy income/fully diluted shares.

Note: This trust that we mentioned had 1.3 million shares and as of Dec 31st 2017 the share count had dropped to a mere 84K. This large overhang is gone and will only add to potential upside for zmtp shares during 2018 and beyond.

As Zoom's reach extends worldwide, the introduction of many new products and stronger worldwide economic growth will only enhance zmtp's ability to create attractive returns for the shareholder.

Zoom's business model is attractive. ZMTP's operation requires minimal fixed assets: product manufacturing is outsourced to third-party manufacturers in Asia and sales are executed via third-party digital retailers (like Amazon) and third-party brick -and-mortar retailers (like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and target). Zoom is responsible for product design, testing, qualification, and marketing, as well as for the oversight of its distribution network.

Upon review of the 4th Q revenue alone for the Q exploded up 72% compared to the 4th Q of 2016. Gross profit was $3.2 million vs $1.4 million for the same period. Excluding the adjustment for the Amazon-related state sales tax liabilities, net income was $444k or $.03/sh.

We believe that there are so many positive catalysts that ZMTP has ZERO downside risk and upwards of 200% upside during 2018.

We have the "trust" that had artificially beaten down the share price for over 2 years and at this point has reduced the holdings from 1.3 million share to nil. We have had "rocketship" revenue growth during the past 2 years of 65+% and when you review the most recent presentation that is highlighted above we can easily conclude that rapid growth will continue. We have broad worldwide sales for ZOOM productions and now a huge stable of product being introduced late 2017 and 1st and 2nd Q of 2018 that are going to accelerate and elevate revenue growth and net income/sh. Since the tax liability is behind the company and caused an extraordinary loss during 2017 it is obvious that strong income is in the cards. We are now entering 2nd Q of 2018 we believe that ZOOM will easily reach $40 million during 2018 and estimate that the company can earn between .20-.25 for calendar year 2018. The company is growing by 60+% and if we assign a conservative PE of 25 then a share price of $5 to $6.25 should easily be in the cards. At present we a have PSR of 1.1 ( severely undervalued valuation. A value of 3 is considered fairly valued). A PSR of 3 would yield a $7.00 share price.

The company has NO long term debt, a $3 million dollar line of credit that has been untapped and attractive cash flow. It does not appear that they are in need of additional working capital which is very positive for current shareholders because of resulting dilution. It is very possible that this company is getting ready for NASDAQ listing (just seems to be the right time for this emerging growth opportunity).

We rate Zoom Telephonics(zmtp) with out strongest buy rating with a $6-$7 target within 12 months.

Stocks recommended during the past 25 months-April 1, 2018

OPXS------.70-------$1.05 --Strong Buy

OPXXW----.15---- .38 --Strong Buy

Both pay .02/common & warrant April 19th 2018-quarterly dividend.

The recent signing of the 2018 Budget will increase defense spending by $700 billion, the largest increase in 15 years! OPXS revenue during the next few years will skyrocket because of Abrams tanks,Stryker vehicles, LAV's and Bradley Vehicles. Recently the Saudi's signed a $1 billion defense purchase that also includes $300 million in spare parts for military vehicles (includes the vehicles mentioned above and of course others).

One of these days this stock will break to the upside.We still believe that a strong earnings uptrend is forming and rapid growth will follow starting in 2018 thru 2025.

March 27, 2018 OPXS announces another $1.62 million contract for premium optical devices.

The warrants expire Aug 2021, the exercise price is $1.50 and they are non-callable. Offers investors amazing leverage.

ESMC---- .10--------.30 ------BUY

STRI-----.26------.30. ---Strong Buy
The company may benefit from tariffs on solar panels manufactured in China. China basically destroyed the US solar panel market. Maybe a strong tariff on Chinese products within this industrial segment will boost sales for companies like stri .

AETI---------$1.60-----$1.20 hold

WPSC-----$1.25------$ --

Merged and changed name to Dropcar- DCAR completed a 1 for 5 reverse split stock is currently $2.10

MKRYF-----.10-------..03 -----declares BK

Management destroyed this junior oil and gas company and basically lied to the investor. There is little we can do when we are lied to.

BSGM-----$1.33--$1.63 ------- BUY

SIMA-----$2.50----$6.00------BUY----

ASNB--------.07----.05 ------HOLD-

HEMA-----.35---$5.80 --STRONG BUY

Could very well be the best earnings report we have seen in our micro cap world. Sales zoomed to $20 million from $14 and earnings from operations exploded to $3.4 million from $799K. The company also had an income tax benefit of $1 million. Net income for 2017 equaled some .42/sh! The balance sheet has $9.2 million in cash vs $2.3 million and zero debt. The company is also moving into a larger facility in a few months.

HEMA has also formed a new partnership with Charles River Laboratories International, Inc(CLR~$106)! This company has a $5 billion dollar market cap. We anticipate explosive growth to continue and even accelerate during 2018 and beyond. The first 1/2 might have some extra ordinary expenses due to the move, but overall we believe that HEMA can achieve revenue of $30-$35 million during 2018 and $50 million by 2020! As revenue spikes we can conclude that earnings will follow and earnings of .50 for 2018 is not out of the question. We have raised our target near term to $10 by the end of 2018. Of course the company could always be bought out. We rate HEMA with a strong buy recommendation. You never step in front of a speeding train!

LUVU----.055------.05 --------BUY

QDLC------.50----$.50 -----BUY

Management is currently suing for $7.5 million that was stolen from them - relating to 2 Mexican contracts. We believe that they will recover the theft

VII-----.41------.41 -Strong BUY

The only thing holding this stock back is the recent offering. So we must work thru the overhang! The company recently announced a major contract in Mexico and the stock ran, but the overhang smacked it! Dead in the water for now, but a life preserver is not needed~only patience! We continue to buy the dips into the low and mid .30's.

Just announced that CETX bought 46% of VII from a private party. Most likely from fund that held this position. Smart move by CETX ( recommended @ $2.62 within last newsletter.) According to noted think tank~ video surveillance market was valued at $30 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $76 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 15.4% between 2017 and 2022. Extremely positive purchase by CETX because they are not going to sell! Again~ rated with a strong Buy

LPAD-----.80----$1.03 bought out

ARWR-----2.80----$7.21---Strong Buy

Go to their website http://www.arrowheadpharma.com Don't forget the big picture! TRiM tm Platform enables Amgen Partnership. Amgen strikes $674 million cardiovascular RNAi pact with ARWR. Some planned FDA apps. ARO-AAT FIH planned Q1 2018, ARO-HBV (HepatitisB) FIH planned Q1 2018, ARO- APOC3, ARO-ANG3 and ARO-Lung1 all 3 planned CTA Q4 2018. ARO-LPA and ARO- AMG1 these 2 partnered with Amgen dealing with Cardiovascular Disease. Please go visit the website and review the 2 presentations ~ Feb 27 and March 1 2018. ARWR could be a $100 stock. Their science and application make sense and AMGN would not be a partner with them if they did not see something unique. Regardless of the recent move we believe there remains exponential upside for the patient investor. Of course they could get bought out by AMGN or another cash rich Biotech.

March 27, 2018 ARWR announces the dosing of subjects in phase 1/2 clinical study of ARO-HBV , a potentially curative therapy for patients with chronic Hepatitis B virus infection.

Jefferies places a Buy recommendation with a $10.00 target. (They sure are going out on a limb!)

March 28, 2018~ ARWR ARO-AAT, a subcutaneous RNAi-based therapeutic for alpha-1 antitrypsin- related liver disease, demostrates liver exposure- response and efficacy in preclinical studies--PS-147 This abstract PS-147 in under embargo until Saturday April 14th 2018. This abstract has been selected to be highlighted during official EASL Press Office activities that will be made public on the day of their presentation at the congress. This piece of information is beyond bullish for the company..

DXTR------.31-----.16---SOLD

BK filing~common share holders will get wiped out.

VUZI-- $6.35---$5.55--Strong Buy

Recent "bear raid" by coordinated "short sellers" Truly amazing that the worthless SEC has not re-instated the "uptick" rule. Marc Cuban behind much of this raid. Remember Marc ? HE stated that he was shorting the market if Trump got elected! He stated that the market would go down 5000 points Instead we are up 4000 even with the recent correction. VUZI recently raised $30 million dollars in 2 days. Toshiba has bought product from them. There are many Fortune 100 and 500 companies testing their products.

Bottom-line: Don't know why America wants failure! If we wanted failure we would not have had desktops, laptops, micros, tablets and smartphones. VUZI is the logical direction of computing.

VUZI named "Best AR @CES 2018 by TechRadar. At the show Vuzix showcases Alexa-enabled Vuzix Blade Smart Sunglasses @ CES.

SPRS--$1.00----$1.10--Strong Buy

Super year-end results~ Achieved highest revenue in 10 years. Revenue of $30 million for year and net income/sh of .05. The fourth Q reached rev of $8 million and net income/sh of .08. Surge was awarded "Supplier of the Year" by Honeywell Corp~ the company's largest customer. The company continues to develop new products driving increased sales. SPRS is expanding a global position in Asia with a growing portfolio of new business. The company is also building a global sales forces.

If the 4th Q is any indication of the near term trend then SPRS could easily earn .30+ during 2018 and the stock price is not going to sit @ $1.00 . This situation like many others have been overlooked and eventually the herd will tire of "FANG" and start to look for cheap and undervalued domestic as well as international growth.

ECIA--.46-----.38-----Strong Buy



Rhodium-the metal $1480/oz-----$2020/oz ---Strong Buy

Even though since our initial recommendation @ $1480/oz we believe additional upside is going to happen and that $3000.00/oz is not a pipe dream. The demand is outstripping the finite supply of this super rare metal.

CETX------$2.62 -----$2.86--strong buy

Recently announced that it is launching a new Early Access Partnership program for its recently announced augmented and virtual reality Workbench XR manufacturing software.

Workbench XR is intended to help assembly workers in manufacturing environments utilize both VR and AR headsets as well as connected "smart tools" to assemble products faster, reduce errors, and improve the quality assurance process.

This stock was very cheap when we initially recommended a few months ago as our "stock pick for 2018" ~ this development just adds the cherry on top in 3D. We continue to rate CETX with a strong buy rating near term and long term.

WLKR--.55-----.49----strong buy.

HMNY---$7.07---$2.83---- Buy

Movie Pass MP- The shorts don't believe that this company has a chance in Hell to survive! Again, with out the "uptick" rule the "shorts" continue to destroy American business.

SNDE---$7.25---$4.76--Strong Buy

SDCJF----.078---.05-----Strong Buy

SNDE & SDCJF (same company) The same old story~ Oil company that needs to replenish the coffers to start a growth phase. Of course the shareholders of old are smothered. Recently we have seen a dramatic increase in WTI because Trump may leave the Nuke deal with the Iranians. Trump may also put sanctions on Iran for cyber attacks on strategic computer system nationwide. If we pull out of the Nuke accord ( should have never been signed by the tail that wagged the head) then a 600k barrel/day sanction goes into affect. The Saudi's may also continue to hold back oil from the marketplace to keep prices firm. Also this past week there was a 2.6 million barrel drop in Oil inventories. All of this adds to firming. John Bolton a super Hawk will be Trump's National Security Adviser. The dove always promise big things, but never gets any thing done. The can just gets kicked down the road to hell!

Sundance entered into agreement to acquire 22k net acres and 1800 boepd in the EF for $221.5 million. Company is raising $260 million. The capital raise and refi will fund the acquisition and provide $136 million of liquidity to develop the assets. Pro forma Sundance will be a leader in the EF with 57k acres and production of 10,300. The company estimates that production during 2019 will reach between 20-22k boepd. We have not added up to the shares outstanding after offering but it will be jaw dropping! We anticipate a reverse split sooner than later because you cannot have zillions and zillions of shares floating around for a company that projects 20k boepd during 2019. We remain committed to the company even though we have already bled to death!



THE MARKET

Our market view: Many Fund's year -end is Sept 30th not Dec 31st. Many Funds want a pay day and towards the end of the first Q is an ideal time to sell huge winners and of course "dogs" that managers do not want anyone to see that they would actually own.

The "shorts" love a market that looks to be in trouble so they can destroy companies for one reason or another and want to see that specific company fail. We also have the weak holders and day flippers that add to the mayhem. The buyers see these huge down days so they just "pull" their bids and buy tiny bits from the nervous herd.

If this was not enough we have "tariffs" that Wall Street is not sure of. We also have the changes within the WH staff and of course the Russian fairy tale that is getting very tiring.

We believe that this corrective mode is very healthy for the market and once earnings start to star on the headlines that this market will settle down. The lower tax rates are sure to show great numbers during this first Q and beyond. We see little inflation and still historically low interest rates. We also have a new FED President ( Powell)~ this also leads to market nervousness . Sure the "fang" stocks ran hard during the past 12 months and these are some of the most damaged investments.

We just don't see an end to this Trump rally. America seems to be on a fresh and exciting path that we have not seen in decades!

We have a weak dollar which is bullish for American goods. We have some $5 trillion of non-taxed corporate earning that is going to come home soon. This money will be very beneficial for Corporate America because it will be put to work. The severe regulations that had been placed upon Corporate America have been slashed. Oil is cheap and NG is a bargain. The USA is entering a new era of prosperity.

This Nuclear deal with Iran is Terminal, which will be bullish for oil stocks ( sanctions may take as much as 600k barrels/day off the market). For decades we have kicked the nuclear can down the road and it has only brought us more trouble. This Nuclear deal was just an appeasement. We had become like the EU under the prior Administration. This so -called Nuclear can has surfaced in North Korea that also has been kicked around since the Clinton years and it is now or never to confront and disarm it before it is too late.



One more thing!

Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CBI~$14.40) The company near term will be merging into MDR ($6.09). In this case the "tail" (mdr) will be wagging the "head" (CBI). Both companies are not getting the most "fav" reviews by the herd! Both have been howling "dogs" & when the merger was announced "all hell broke loose"!

After the dust settled the stock ran from $14 to $21.54 by Jan 23, 2018. Since that time CBI had been steady because it actually is a great infrastructure play as a combined company. Both have and had debt issues and project overruns and management boondoggles.

During the past month we have experienced greater volatility in the Wall Street Casino and CBI has been crushed! As we entered the end of March CBI has trended back down to around its 6 month low of $14.00 and we believe as early as next week this stock will react in a positive manner and head higher as oversold MDR recovers. As mentioned the tail wags the head.

The funds dumped it because they did not want it on their books. The "shorts" love this kind of situation so they pile on and weak holders and flippers all get in the act. The real buyers wait for the bargain basement price and then pounce!

We like the upside potential for the short term in consideration of the severe price crush as of late!

WE MAY BUY, SELL AND OR HOLD AT OUR OWN DISCRETION .We currently own shares in all stocks mentioned..

Why no greater interest here? Most recent post way back in March 2016? I have yet to figure out the criteria for what makes a stock popular here. Well, I suppose it may be a good thing is that this one is yet undiscovered, so if the quarterly report to be released Monday after market close is a good one, I'm in a good position having gotten in early. Still, it may continue "undiscovered" forever here!
I miss hearing the other investors' opinions out of their own due diligence.
I like the company, from this quarter going forward they might finally be eps positive.

The Motorola licensed modems are already in Best Buy.

The Zoom branded modems are even available at my local Best Buy store and it looks like they are in many others. I wonder what the new licensed Motorola ones will look like.
