Just so you know, this is awkwardly not the main message board. When the name/ticker change happened, this board was not tied to the message board of the main NewHydrogen page. So these posts are tied to what used to be the New Horizons Learning page.
You can search for the NewHydrogen board through the "Search iHub" menu, then go to the main page where you will see the bulk of the conversations (although not many) past and present.
Lets see where this is going. It may be a jewel, but it is very early.

Current Outlook
Mark A. Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of New Horizons, stated, "Although we have clearly been impacted by the current global economic recession we are pleased with the way in which our network has responded to these conditions. We have focused on providing enhanced value to our customers while we work hard to improve the economics of operating a training center. We have reduced our operating costs, while we continue to provide our franchisees and company locations with initiatives that show a positive return over a near-term and lay a foundation for improved results well into the future.
"We believe the current downturn in the global economy in general, and the computer training industry in particular, creates opportunities for expansion at attractive prices. To that end, we re-acquired the Portland, Oregon franchise in February 2009, and will open two more company-owned training centers in Seattle, Washington and London, England during the second quarter. We remain convinced of the near and longer term potential of the IT training industry.
"As always, we appreciate the dedication and efforts of our employees, the commitment and partnership of our franchise owners and their staffs and the support of our industry partners in making our success possible."
