From their 1st qtr financial results:

Outlook

"During the first quarter, the Company continued to experience a substantial increase in order bookings across all product lines" stated Mark W. Blodgett, Chairman and CEO. "First quarter orders increased 106% over the prior year and increased 22% sequentially over the fourth quarter of 2009. Backlog was $7.2 million, an increase of 92% over the prior period and 21% sequentially. Based on current backlog and continued improvement in order bookings, management expects 2010 revenues to increase 40 to 50% to approximately $15 million versus 2009 revenue of $10.4 million. Despite the challenging environment in 2009, our two operation units, StockerYale (IRE) Ltd and Photonic Products Ltd, were EBITDA positive. For the first quarter 2010, the combined operating unit EBITDA -- excluding the onetime charge -- was $290,000 continuing the trend of improved performance from the operations. With higher sales volumes and improved overhead absorption we expect continued improvement in both gross margins and EBITDA performance over the course of the year," added Blodgett.

Breaking out- anyone have information?

stevets,you had some interesting posts on STKR,In doing a bit of research on them they seem to have found bottom,trimmed some serious costs and have some interesting products and deals coming up.Watching thier competitors it appears that all are heading back to 2007,08 #'s,and that would be in the $1.50 range.If anyone has input I would like to hear.I'm sure most have lost ground as the rest have, but now up,,, seems the logical way.

[SteveTS]

Volume is coming in at the ask today. Looking pretty good coming off of that pinch.

Here's a link to the recent filings.

[SteveTS]

I like the recent filings.

15-12G makes it ripe for a R/M play. Share structure seems pretty low as well.

Based on my math I've got it at 28.39m shares in the float.

I'll verify that with the transfer agent in the morning.

Yes sorry i stand corrected,i did see that on another board.I did own it not to long ago.

Going PINK

[oeo2oo]

So, nice little pop on Friday, but no continuation today--last trade at 9 cents.

This STinKeR is still way overpriced. Shareholders' equity, which is overstated to start with, is less than $1, so that means the stock is worth less than $1 million/44 million shares, or 2 cents a share maximum. LOL

I hate to mention this recent article lest anyone might think it could make one iota difference with this company. At one time there was a supposed relationship with BAE Systems. That would be a long story, and who really knows. Something about the aiming lasers or what not.



American Airlines Testing Anti-Missile Technology



American Airlines Testing Anti-Missile Technology
Reporting
Joe Shortsleeve
BOSTON (WBZ) ― You can almost touch the planes as they roar over Point Shirley in Winthrop on their way to Logan Airport. The passengers were checked for explosives before they got on, however, a growing concern is what could happen away from the airport: Terrorist firing a shoulder launched-missile just outside the airport's property. The light weight weapons are becoming and more available on the black market, as many as 150,000 are believed to be in circulation and can easily bring down a plane.

But now American Airlines is flying with new defensive technology on some of its New York to Los Angeles flights.

Developed in New Hampshire by defense contractor, BAE Systems, the cross country passenger jets are now equipped with a laser deterrent system mounted on the plane's belly. It can identify and misdirect an incoming missile. It's being tested for Homeland Security.

Laurie Nuzzo is the Program manager for BAE Systems in Nashua New Hampshire where technology was developed. "Over several years we have been testing and validating the system. So now it is really great to see us now at this point on an in service passenger aircraft."

American Airlines is not using the technology on any Boston-based flights. At $1 million per plane, the missile defense system is expensive. Nonetheless passenger we spoke to like the idea.

"No one is going to catch you by surprise now, maybe it will save lives," said one traveler.

BAE Systems is one of two defense contractors hoping to win a government contract. Congress will decide the future of this technology before next summer.

Experts say as many as 27 different terrorists organizations have the shoulder missile weapons. They sell for as little as $10,000.

StockerYale, Inc. Announces Medical Market Focus and Business Development Strategy for 2008
Wednesday January 9, 7:00 am ET
- Sales to Medical to Grow to Approximately 20% of Total Sales for 2008 -

SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StockerYale, Inc. (NASDAQ: STKR - News), a leading designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules and specialty optical fibers for industry leading OEMs, today announced that it will place an increased emphasis on medical market business development in 2008 that will leverage its investments in medical product research and development.

ADVERTISEMENT
Mark W. Blodgett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of StockerYale, stated, “StockerYale’s key objective in 2008 is to substantially expand sales to the medical instrumentation markets across all three of our product lines – lasers and specialized optics for the bioinstrumentation market, specialty optical fiber (SOF) for the medical laser market, and LED systems for dermatology and dental equipment, to name a few. Sales to the medical vertical increased from less than 5 percent of StockerYale’s total revenues in 2006 to approximately 12 percent in 2007, and we expect that they will represent approximately 20 percent of 2008 revenues given our existing customer relationships and multiple sales initiatives under way.

“Demand for bioinstruments is growing rapidly as the instrumentation evolves from the laboratory to higher performance, lower cost commercial clinical applications,” Blodgett continued. “The size of our addressable market for bioinstrumentation lasers and optics alone is estimated to be approximately $100 million, and revenue streams in the biomedical, dermatology and dental markets tend to be highly repeatable once a product has been designed-in. Increasing our percentage of sales to these markets will be a key factor in driving the operating leverage in our financial model. There is a large market opportunity for StockerYale in these markets and we believe we are well positioned with both our technology and products to be key provider.”

Medical Market and Applications

For laser modules used in bioinstruments, the evolution to commercial clinical applications is driven by the transition from bulky, power-consuming, difficult-to-operate gas lasers to semiconductor diode lasers that are robust, small and require little energy to operate. Utilizing a patent-pending process that efficiently transforms the laser beam into a variety of shapes and distributions, StockerYale has developed a “plug and play” laser module solution that is easy to integrate into end-user systems and will increase system performance in terms of both accuracy and throughput. The company’s innovative Lasiris™ PureBeam fiber-coupled lasers and patent pending Flat-Top² Generator laser beam shaping modules are enabling it to break into new markets such as spectroscopy, fluorescence, confocal microscopy, and DNA sequencing, which require laser sources with extremely high output power stabilities.

StockerYale’s specialty optical fiber division is entering the medical market with fiber-based laser delivery assemblies in partnership with one of the world’s leading medical equipment companies. Lasers, which are used as surgical tools for ablation, cutting and coagulation of tissue as well as a variety of minimally invasive procedures, use fiber assemblies to deliver the high power laser light from the laser to the patient.

In LED systems for the medical market, StockerYale holds unique advantages with core competencies in both chip-on-board-based LED technology and customized optics. Its advanced custom LED solutions and strong optical modeling and design skills overcome the various difficulties inherent in the engineering of LED illumination, enabling the company to develop extremely compact, high-brightness LED illumination systems for unique dental and medical applications that previously could not be realized with standard technology.

Medical Customers and Products

StockerYale’s Lasiris™ PureBeam and Flat-Top² Generator laser beam are currently in trials with most of the major manufacturers of bioinstrumentation systems. The company also has several existing medical customers including Erchonia Medical Instruments, a leader in low power laser therapy for dermatology and pain management treatments, for its laser modules.

Having completed significant development efforts in 2007, the company’s specialty optical fiber division expects to commence shipments of its first fiber-based laser delivery assemblies for minimally invasive surgery in the first quarter of 2008.

Twenty of StockerYale’s LED system modules will be used in point of care treatment systems under development to be used as a photo-initiator for a pharmaceutical product and will be involved in clinical trials in the spring of 2008. Each module incorporates more than 100 each of two types of LEDs with custom wavelengths. Each module also incorporates optical design features, thermal management expertise and an integrated control circuit. The company also expects to significantly ramp up production of its custom-engineered LED modules for the dental market for a Fortune 100 company in 2008.

Concluded Blodgett, “We enter 2008 on the cusp of delivering on our medical vertical strategy to further penetrate a fast-growing and significant market opportunity. Coupled with the recent appointment of a new chief operating officer and chief financial officer tasked to improve operational performance across the entire organization and underpinned by market-leading technologies, we have in place the requirements for a successful 2008 and beyond.”

Investor note:

Mark Blodgett, Chairman and CEO, will present at the Tenth Annual Needham Growth Stock Conference in New York City on January 11th at 11:00am ET. As part of his presentation, Mr. Blodgett will also provide an overview of the company’s medical instrumentation strategy.

glad to finally hear a reason for the automatic stock sales (paying tax on Restricted Shares issued to him). Looks a lot less like shaking the piggy bank. You think they might have had a mention of that in previous Q reports.

StockerYale Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Tuesday October 23, 4:01 pm ET
Company Delivers Quarterly Revenue Increase of 75% Year-Over-Year and Positive Quarterly EBITDA

SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StockerYale, Inc. (NASDAQ: STKR - News), a leading designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules and specialty optical fibers for industry leading OEMs, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. The results include Photonic Products Ltd from the Company’s acquisition date of October 31, 2006.

Third Quarter 2007 Financial and Business Highlights

* Revenues increased to a record $7.9 million, up 75% over the third quarter of 2006.
* Gross profit was a record $2.7 million, an increase of 70% year-over-year and 16% quarter-over-quarter.
* Specialty optical fiber and LED sales increased 96% and 43% over third quarter 2006, respectively.
* EBITDA totaled $144,000 compared to $(86,000) for the third quarter of 2006 and $(402,000) for the second quarter 2007.
* The Specialty Optical Fiber (SOF) division and Photonic Products subsidiary each received the largest single contracts in their history.
* The Company entered into a distribution agreement with Newport Corporation for StockerYale's line of specialty optical fiber products.
* The Company was awarded a significant specialty optical fiber contract from Northrop Grumman Newport News for the U.S. Navy's Virginia class submarine fleet.
* Key appointments were made in strategic areas of the business to support the Company’s growth prospects and technological leadership.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark W. Blodgett stated, “We are pleased that our investments and the reengineering of our sales efforts are paying off with increased organic revenue growth and major contract awards during the third quarter. We continue to see solid market acceptance of our LED, SOF and new Lasiris™ laser products, and order bookings have regained the momentum achieved earlier in the year. We’re making a strong push into the biomedical and medical equipment markets through each of our business lines, with a particularly large market opportunity for SOF in the medical equipment space. We had a breakout quarter for our Specialty Optical Fiber business and we have expanded our customer base through important vertical channels and key customer relationships. Our recent acquisition of Spectrode, LLC will enhance our strategic initiatives in both our specialty optical fiber and laser business units.

“While quarterly Photonic Products revenues increased 22% over the second quarter of 2007, margins from this division were weaker than anticipated,” Blodgett continued. “We have initiated a lean manufacturing initiative and are looking for additional operational efficiencies that will improve performance in this division. However, fourth quarter improvement will not be enough to offset our year-to-date EBITDA losses from Photonic Products and the falling U.S. dollar. We expect total revenues for 2007 to be approximately $30 million and full year 2007 gross margin to be 33% to 34%.”

Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Net sales totaled a record $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2007, a 75% increase over $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2006, and a 14% increase compared with $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. Photonic Products revenue was 33% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2007. LED revenues increased 43% year-over-year, but was approximately flat quarter-over-quarter, and laser and associated diode revenue increased 105% year-over-year and increased 13% quarter-over-quarter due to higher Photonic Products sales. Specialty optical fiber revenues increased 96% year-over-year and 56% quarter-over-quarter.

Bookings for the third quarter of 2007 were $8.3 million and backlog was $10.5 million at September 30, 2007.

Gross profit was $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 70% over $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2006, and an increase of 16% from $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. Gross margin was flat to the third quarter of 2006 at 34% and showed a modest improvement compared to 33% for the second quarter of 2007. The gross margin increase from the year-ago period reflects shipments of specialty optical fiber products to Northrop Grumman, offset by the lower margin results from Photonic Products’ mix of distributed and manufactured products. The quarter-over-quarter increase in gross margin is also attributable to higher revenue from specialty optical fiber, partially offset by Photonic Products’ lower margin product mix.

Operating expenses increased 52% year-over-year to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2007 and were approximately $97,000 lower than the second quarter of 2007, of which $56,000 was non-cash share-based compensation. The year-over-year increase was driven by Sarbanes Oxley compliance and other IT expenditures as well as additional operating expenses and non-cash amortization of intangible assets related to Photonic Products. Research and development expenses were $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2007 or 8% of revenues, approximately the same as 2006 and a decrease of $149,000 quarter-over-quarter. This is mainly due to a reclassification of R&D expense to a cost of sales basis for the recognition of revenue on the Northrop Grumman project. Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $2.5 million or 32% of revenues for the third quarter of 2007.

Operating loss was $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared with operating losses of $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2006 and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2007, of which $0.2 million was due to non-cash amortization of intangible assets.

EBITDA was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2007, as compared to EBITDA losses of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2006 and second quarter of 2007, respectively.

Other expenses (primarily non-cash debt expense and interest expense) totaled $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2007, a decrease of $0.4 million or 39% compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Net loss including discontinued operations was $1.3 million or $(0.04) per share for the third quarter of 2007 compared with $1.2 million or ($0.04) per share for the third quarter of 2006 and $2.1 million or ($0.06) per share for the second quarter of 2007.

Conference Call and Webcast

Management will conduct a conference call with simultaneous webcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Blodgett and Chief Financial Officer Marianne Molleur will discuss the quarterly results and comment on business trends.

Interested parties may participate in the live conference call by dialing 800-257-2101 (international dial-in 303-262-2141). No passcode is required for the call. A live webcast of the conference call may be accessed by visiting the Investor Relations: Earnings Conference Call section of the StockerYale website at www.stockeryale.com.

A telephonic replay of the conference call will be available through November 1, 2007 by dialing 800-405-2236 (international dial-in 303-590-3000) and entering passcode 11099734#. The webcast will be archived on the Company's web site for one year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, to complement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized definition and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial and operating performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by identifying certain expenses, gains and losses that, when excluded from the GAAP results, may provide additional understanding of the Company's core operating results or business performance, which management uses to evaluate financial performance for purposes of planning for future periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to supersede or replace the Company's GAAP results.

The company uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as a non-GAAP financial measure in this press release. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the operating loss before discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2007 is as follows:

(STKR, Trade ), a leading designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules and specialty optical fibers for industry leading OEMs, today announced a significant contract award for its specialty optical fiber by Northrop Grumman Newport News (NGNN), a sector within the Ships business of Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC, Trade ), for the U.S. Navy's Virginia class submarine fleet.

The fiber will be used for Light Weight Wide Aperture Array (LWWAA) Hydrophone Systems in support of the Virginia class attack submarine program. StockerYale will supply fiber to Northrop Grumman Newport News for the next three submarines to be added to the fleet. Fiber shipments to Northrop Grumman Newport News are expected to begin in September 2007.

"We're excited to partner with world class customers like Northrop Grumman on critical programs that demonstrate our technical expertise and ability to produce large quantities of highly-specialized optical fiber" said Mark Blodgett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of StockerYale. "Our engineers and scientists worked diligently to customize a fiber that meets the exact technical and time-sensitive requirements for the LWWAA program as outlined by Northrop Grumman. We are pleased to be awarded this important, defense contract."

The US Navy's Virginia class submarines employ LWWAA systems on either side of the hull, which provide sonar sensor input to the submarine's combat system. Northrop Grumman designed, developed and manufactures the key optical sensing elements of the Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensors (FOAS) arrays for the LWWAA system. StockerYale's specialty optical fiber is a key component for NGC's FOAS arrays.

"This is both our first major government contract and largest contract for specialty optical fiber received to date," Blodgett noted. "As we continue to grow our specialty optical fiber business, we will realize strong financial operating leverage from this higher margin, high potential business unit."
