ZYNX ($1.52) came out with their monthly orders yesterday and blew away all expectations at 1,452 which is a 39% increase over last month. ZYNX is a medical supplier so you don't have to worry about where the economy is headed. Despite the fact that ZYNX is up over 32% since my original post here I still think it is a screaming buy. I think it has great opportunities for a multi-bagger from here. I'm expecting earnings in Q3 of $0.02 to $0.03 and Q4 earnings somewhere in the ballpark of $0.05/share. ZYNX has had an unbelievable growth in orders over the past 1.5 years as you can see from the following post:

WOW,..."Hold till the end of Jan 2008 and sell at .003 (or .10 if product is released)."
not only are you the IdiotFromFresno,...
you've also got a very active imagination,...
you go bouy !
THANKS !,... i got my laugh for the day.
Mr. IfromFresno re SPZI
a few things to consider
#1. in this market message boards have no influence over stock price
#2. SPZI has been kicked around for a couple of years, if it had anything it would have done it by now
#3. It is geared to retail investors, not professionals therefore it is highly unlikely it will succeed
#4. Outstanding Shares 1,207,937,456 Authorized Shares
1,457,000,000 Float 576,841,527
#5. Total Liabilities ans stockholders deficit $1,072,452
it only gets uglier ... that's enough
SPZI.pk estimated market cap today is under 4 million - you can buy at .0033 right now while confusion abounds. The company is supposed to be finally lanching their first product Jan 2008 after years of development and many missed projected product releases. They do have a demo and recently had a display at a trade show. If your looking for a story stock check it out. I can only hope it ends well but you never know. My theory on recent decline is a smear campaign which played into the MM hands (some regular spooz promoters were on a different stock board screaming scam and then those members upset with their stock decline followed said persons to the SPZI board to return the "favor").
Ok so buy at .0033 (I got a little at this price today)
Sell at .0099 before the end of the year OR
Hold till the end of Jan 2008 and sell at .003 (or .10 if product is released).
UVICF
In with a very nice quarter. Revenues up 9%, income before taxes up 37%, royalty income up 34%, and they paid a pretty high (39.4%) tax rate. All in all, it's a $.09 quarter fully (actually more than fully) taxed. Much better than I expected.
PE is 11x for this stock with a 9% dividend yield. I think it should be 15x and worth $6.
Unilens Vision Reports Record Revenue, Pretax Earnings and Royalty Income for Year Ended June 30, 2007
Net Sales Increased 4%, Royalties Rise 13%, and Pretax Income Expands 8% from
Prior-Year Levels
LARGO, Fla., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Unilens Vision Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UVICF) (TSX Venture Exchange: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today reported its operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (FY2007).
Net sales, excluding royalty income, increased 4.3% to $6,370,930 in FY2007, compared with $6,110,040 in the previous fiscal year (FY2006). The increase was primarily a result of continued growth of the Company's C-Vue multifocal and toric multifocal contact lenses, which increased approximately 10% during the year, this was partially offset by sales of our replacement products lines that declined as expected.
FY2007 income before taxes increased 8.0% to a record $2,179,742 compared with $2,018,040 in the prior-year. After recording net income tax expense of $869,781, Unilens reported net income of $1,309,961, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the year. In FY2006, the Company reported net income of $1,596,830, or $0.35 per diluted share, which included income tax expense of $421,210.
Royalty income for FY2007 increased 13.3% to a record $2,190,428 compared with $1,932,942 in the prior-year. Sales of licensed products by our licensee Bausch & Lomb continue to accelerate, resulting in record royalty payments despite a contractual reduction in the royalty rate of 14% effective during the quarter ending June 30, 2006. No further contractual reductions in royalty rate are scheduled under the contract until November 2016, over nine years from now.
"We are pleased to report record sales, royalties and pretax income for the year ended June 30, 2007," stated Michael J. Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "Sales of our C-Vue(R) brand of multifocal and toric multifocal contact lenses continue to increase when compared with prior- year periods. Meanwhile, Bausch & Lomb's sales of multifocal lenses that utilize our proprietary technology also continued to increase, resulting in record royalty income for the Company."
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, net sales excluding royalty income, increased 9.2% to $1,693,572, as compared to $1,550,354 for the quarter ending June 30, 2006. Net sales of the Company's C-Vue multifocal and toric multifocal contact lenses increased by 12% during the fourth quarter of FY2007, while sales of replacement and conventional product lines declined, as expected.
Income before taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased 36.7% to $670,471, compared with $490,328 in the prior-year period. After recording net income tax expense of $264,207, Unilens reported net income of $406,264, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This compared with net income of $655,266, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of FY2006, which included net income tax benefits of $164,938.
Royalty income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 34.4% to a record $630,932, compared with $469,496 in the prior-year period, demonstrating accelerated demand for sales of licensed products by our licensee Bausch & Lomb.
"Our financial condition at the end of the most recent fiscal year continues to be strong. After paying out over $2.1 million in cash dividends during FY2007, we had a cash position of $2.0 million, we were debt free, and our shareholders' equity was more than $7.1 million at year end June 30, 2007," stated Michael Pecora.
"Shortly after the end of our fiscal year, the Unilens' Board of Directors declared a second special cash dividend of US $0.30 per common share and its regular quarterly dividend of US $0.09 per common share, which represents a 20% increase from previously declared quarterly dividends," stated Michael Pecora. "This decision was based on the Company's strong balance sheet, and projected significant operating cash flows and is consistent with the Board's commitment that shareholders should share directly in the earnings turnaround that has been achieved by management in recent years."

VBDG...I did a call with the company last night (VP of Corporate Counsel). I was very impressed with Chris Lipp (even though I never thought he would have been the guy to talk to), and I'm very glad that I got my shares yesterday and broke my rule of talking to the company before I buy. I think this one is an easy double and probably has a lot of upside from there. Here is the post on the VBDG board.

Mike, I picked up some VBDG at .745 today. While I feel like I'm chasing it by buying it this high, I think VBDG is going to do very well. It's a double from here, IMO.

The SOYO + HONEYWELL story explained...
THE AMAZING HONEYWELL DEAL - Read It All!
STEP 1: The SEARCH by Honeywell
Honeywell was on a mission to enter the consumer electronics market - primarily for LCD TV's and Computer Monitors. They went on a hunt for a company to partner with and selected SOYO. They approached SOYO and the two companies negotiated and arrived at the current deal.
Honeywell is widely recognized as an LCD technology innovator, has several LCD patents, and licenses technology to all world class makers of LCD displays. Honeywell has a history of LCD innovations and SOYO has stated that they were selected in part due to their ability to quickly incorporate new technologies and adapt to a dynamic and fast moving technological environment. That indicates that Honeywell has some new LCD innovations to bring to the market and will likely incorporate these into the TVs and monitors. Further implies that Honeywell not only plans to have some new features in the first TVs that hit the market, but intends to add new innovative improvements as they uncover them in their research and development.
SOYO has stated that the LCD TVs will have new features and that these features are confidential business information that they will not disclose. The TVs will be designed to compete with the state-of-the art, top-of-the-line models available anywhere in the world.
A misconception is that SOYO approach Honeywell – which is not the case. The odd thing is that SOYO will pay Honeywell a license fee and percent of profits. I believe this is because Honeywell has agreed to assist in sales and marketing and Honeywell has agreed to provide SOYO with its latest technological innovations in the LCD field. This technology will set the Honeywell-SOYO products apart from others on the market IMO. The company indicates that Honeywell sales and marketing are playing an active role and that the new features in the Honeywell TVs are extremely confidential and closely guarded.
From 10Q: “Features of the larger screen TV are considered confidential, and will not be released to the public until the television is ready for launch.”
STEP 2: THE DEAL BETWEEN SOYO AND HONEYWELL
Honeywell licenses brand name for flat-panel televisions
By Bob Sechler
March 5, 2007
Honeywell International Inc. (HON: NYSE: 47.34) may be best known for its thermostats and aircraft engines, but flat-panel televisions soon will bear the company's name as well. Honeywell-branded TVs are expected to go on sale this year under a licensing deal between the Morris Township, N.J., conglomerate and SOYO Group Inc., a small electronics manufacturer
The deal marks Honeywell's first foray into the consumer-electronics sector, although Honeywell has an active brand-licensing program for portable home air filters and other products. SOYO will design and distribute the liquid-crystal-display TVs and pay Honeywell royalties. In addition, the deal eventually may result in Honeywell-branded computer monitors and displays, although executives of the two companies declined to elaborate.
They wouldn't release sales forecasts or other financial details, beyond saying that the six-and-a-half-year agreement will provide a minimum of $3.84 million in royalties for Honeywell. The sum is inconsequential compared with Honeywell's $31.4 billion in 2006 sales. But company executives are intrigued by the market regardless.
"We're always looking for opportunities to expand the brand," said Loria Yeadon, chief executive of Honeywell Intellectual Properties Inc. "We think consumers will appreciate having Honeywell-branded (electronics) because they know that there's quality" in the name. Yeadon said she isn't concerned that the move could be a stretch for the Honeywell brand. The company is well known as a technology innovator, she said, and many of its patents are already used in various consumer devices.
STEP 3: HONEYWELL FILES LAWSUIT
Honeywell sues myriad of LCD TV makers for anti-flicker technology
March 23, 2007 by Darren Murph
* If you think LG has a mess on its hands, it's suddenly not alone, as six other manufacturers touching one point or another in the LCD TV supply chain are now facing a patent lawsuit from Honeywell. In what smells awfully like another patent instance of patent trolling, Honeywell is suing Acer, AU Optronics, BenQ, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Renesas Technology, and Denmos Technology as it claims that a patented "method of stopping liquid-crystal displays from flickering" has been unrightfully used. The firm has reportedly "sustained damages and will continue to sustain damages in the future," which they feel should translate into receiving incredible amounts of cash in order to resolve the situation. Reportedly, five of the six outfits under the lawsuit said that they "had not been informed" about the issue just yet, but we doubt it'll be too much longer before it floats to their respective legal departments.
http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/23/honeywell-sues-myriad-of-lcd-tv-makers-for-anti-flicker-technol....
LAWSUIT CONTINUED
March 23, 2007
Honeywell sues LCD TV companies over display tech
Honeywell has filed a lawsuit in Texas against several LCD TV producers, according to the Taipei Times. The American company claims that key manufacturers -- including ASUS, BenQ, and assembly firms such as AU Optronics -- have violated a patent it holds in the US relating to anti-flicker compensation. The infringment has caused "irreparable harm" to Honeywell's business, the suit reads.
If successful, the court action could severely damage the TV industry by forcing many sets off the market until the feature is changed or removed. AU Optronics in particular would suffer, says the newspaper, as it produces the screens used by larger companies such as LG and Samsung. None of the affected companies have been fully notified of the suit.

STEP 4: DIGGING INTO THE DETAILS
Follow-up with SOYO
Excerpt from April 2007 company e-mail to shareholder:
--“I can’t disclose expected revenues. Just know that we did not enter into the deal to spend 3.8 million over 6 years nor is Honeywell looking just to make the $3.8 MM. “
--“We are working closely with Honeywell to deliver an amazing product our consumers will be proud to own. This is all we can say at this point.”
Honeywell & SOYO Connect Further
Former Honeywell VP of licensing and marketing joins SOYO.
11-Sep-2007
Change in Directors or Principal Officers
--Effective September 10, 2007, Mr. Jay Schrankler and Mr. Henry Song were appointed to serve as directors of the Company. Neither Mr. Schrankler nor Mr. Song:
Mr. Shrankler was a Vice President of Licensing and Marketing for Honeywell International Inc.'s Automation and Control Solutions Group from 2003 to 2007. From 2001 to 2003, he served as the Vice President of Environmental Controls for Honeywell International Inc.'s Automation and Control Solutions. He was Vice President and General Manager of the Honeywell International Inc. Home and Building Control from 1999 to 2001. Currently, he works at the University of Minnesota as an Executive Director in the Office for Tech Communications.
First Honeywell-SOYO Product Coming Soon
The roll out of the first Honeywell Branded products will take place in 2007 with the release of a line of Honeywell USB Hard Drives in at 1.8 inch format. The drives will be 80GB and 100 GB capacities, and will feature a metal alloy case, which eliminates heat and adds shock resistance. The Hard Drives will also offer password protected technology to keep your content protected.
Honeywell Monitors
In 2007, we plan to release a line of Honeywell Monitors. The line will initially include 19, 22 and 24 inch wide-screen monitors. The monitors will have four ranges of motion: tilt, swivel, rotate and height adjustment. The 19 inch monitor will also feature four independent USB ports, and the 22 and 24 inch monitors will feature three independent USB ports as well as a built in webcam and built in microphone. These will be Tier 1 monitors that will compete with Samsung, Dell, and Gateway, and will be offered at the enterprise level, large office chains, and some of our current channels.
Honeywell LCD HDTV’s
In 2008, we will release a line of Honeywell LCD full 1080P HDTV’s including 42, 47, 57, 65, 70 and 82 inch models. They will have multiple HDMI, 1080P, and will be designed to compete with LG, Samsung and Sony, with similar technology and a better price tag. We will target the big box retailers with this product on a selective rollout. While the Honeywell brand will be a part of 2007, we expect 2008 to be where we introduce more of the Honeywell CE lines. We look forward to communicating and sharing with you these plans as they further develop.
CEO Speaks
“We’ve set many goals for our Company this year. First and foremost, we want to launch our Honeywell Consumer Electronics Division and get the products into retailers nationwide. We also want to list on the American Stock Exchange. Currently, we fulfill all the requirements to do so, except for our share price. We want to increase our web presence by launching mini-showcase sites for our products. We are also in the process of updating and redesigning our current SOYO website. In addition, we plan to leverage our Honeywell Consumer Electronics Division and our relationship with Honeywell to build a significant Consumer Electronics presence. To do this, we will combine the Honeywell name along with our skill in the field.”
“Our Honeywell Brand will be the driving force behind the Honeywell Consumer
Electronics Division. Our high end line of Consumer Electronics products will include LCD Monitors, LCD HDTV’s, and Portable Storage, among others. They will be elegantly designed, have the latest technology and will have many new features. This brand will be offered at a fair, yet competitive price.”
POINTS TO PONDER
* Honeywell is obviously implementing strategic timing by setting up LCD deals with SOYO and then filing lawsuit against LCD manufacturers. Honeywell has years of LCD experience and massive research and development facilities.
* Announcement of Honeywell LCD TV’s and Monitors should make Headlines in topical publications.
* SOYO has not even had a specific press release on the Honeywell deal and has not yet released any Honeywell-SOYO products.
* Honeywell spends millions on research and development each year and SOYO is now a direct beneficiary of these efforts. SOYO does not spend on R & D, instead they rely on companies they have relationships with, such as Honeywell, to provide them with the latest developments.
* Honeywell has huge sales and marketing force and SOYO has stated they are working closely with them. There is a good chance that there will be a joint Honeywell-SOYO marketing campaign for the LCD TVs and monitors.
* SOYO has stated that they plan an aggressive marketing campaign for the Honeywell products - and Honeywell likely realizes that the TVs and monitors will be their fact to the general public - Honeywell has a lot at stake.
* SOYO has stated of goal of having Honeywell-SOYO TVs and monitors in homes and businesses worldwide.
*These new Honeywell/SOYO TVs will likely set themselves apart from all other TVs on the market with innovative Honeywell state-of-the-art technology. Honeywell tech geeks are playing a major role and, IMO, been waiting for the opportunity to show off some of their new technology for a while. Both companies have clearly stated these will be top of the line TVs. My hope and belief is that the product launch will make some noise nationwide in the TV industry. They should be able to make the claim that these TVs are the best in the world for picture clarity (clear, sharp colors and contrast) and quality (reduced glare and wide viewing angles) - and that's what it is all about in TV land. Best TVs on the planet!
Possible Key Features (gathering of key features from other Honeywell LCD products):
* Exceptionally Wide viewing angles for improved readability
* Easy to see even in bright sunlight - Sunlight readable reflective LCD
* Strikingly clear high definition color
* High resolution
* High brightness
* High contrast ratio
* Low response time
* Picture-in-picture and video-on-video display
* 3D comb filter
* De-interlace technology eliminates blurry image captures
* Four modes of video input
* Inbuilt stereo speakers
* Unique inbuilt 12VDC power output for powering a camera
* Scratchproof/shatterproof glass ensures safety
* Eight-language OSD display
* Convenient front-panel controls
* Power failure function provides auto turn-on in case of power failure
* NTSC / PAL auto-select and Universal power supply
* LCD panel rated for 50,000 hours
* Unique steel cabinet design
* Rack mountable with tilt option
* New Mystery Features Here – brought to you by Honeywell
* Honeywell-SOYO TVs should have noticeably clearer pictures in side-to-side comparisons with other TVs in retail stores nationwide.
* THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS DEAL ARE AMAZING – IT’S GOING TO BE EXCITING!!!!
STEP 5: LAUNCH OF HONEYWELL-SOYO PRODUCTS – COMING SOON
That’s where we are right now – September 30, 2007.

Please add VBDG as another pick. VBDG last traded at $0.74 and I think has excellent chances for a multibagger over the next year. To be very conservative, I'll set my one year target at $1.48 but I fully expect to see even better numbers. Here is my DD:

Please enter ZYNX as my next pick. I expect it to be a multi-bagger in the next year but let's set the target at a double in one year or $2.30 from the $1.15 close today. Here is my DD:
- Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. engages in the engineering, manufacture, and marketing of medical devices for the electrotherapy and stroke rehabilitation markets primarily in the United States.
- They have been rapidly growing their orders for quite some time. In August their orders increased 42.8% from July! Part of the reason for their order growth has been the rapid increase in their sales staff. See the following post for their order history: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22634142
- Most of their sales are rentals which have an average duration of 9 months. So, a sale continues to provide revenue for quite some time. Because of this revenue and earnings will continue to grow even if order growth stops. Having said that, I expect orders to grow at a substantial rate.
- They are working on expanding into the European market. A timeframe for sales start in Europe has not been stated yet although I think a good guess is the next 6-9 months.
- Although estimating quarterly earnings has been elusive, I expect next quarters earnings to be somewhere in the $0.018-$0.025 range which will be a big jump from the $0.013 they earned last quarter. Here is a link to my estimate: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/replies.asp?msg=22193197
- Management has been very good at keeping dilution to an absolute minimum.
- I fully expect this to be a story stock that is heavily discussed a year from now as the PPS skyrockets.
I'm putting my money where my mouth is as this is my largest holding.
Mike

AQSIQ Establishes Details and Target Pricing Structure Regarding Use of True Product ID's Technology For Chinese Liquefied Natural Gas Containers
Last update: 9/4/2007 8:30:04 AM
BEIJING & PHILADELPHIA, Sep 04, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- True Product ID, Inc. (TPDI) announced that the State General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China ("AQSIQ") () has agreed to supplementary provisions to its project cooperation agreement with TPID's Chinese joint venture affiliate company, True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited ("TPID Beijing"), which establish details and a target pricing structure regarding the use of TPID's S-DNA and KMACK technologies for Chinese liquefied natural gas ("LNG") bottles, tanks, and other containers.
AQSIQ's supplementary provisions require TPID Beijing to provide a special equipment security/safety logo, and to implement a special equipment identification security management system, for LNG containers throughout China. Based on official Chinese records, AQSIQ projects that there are currently a total of 130 million LNG tanks in China and that total is expected to increase by approximately 10 percent every year. AQSIQ wants TPID Beijing to complete marking of the LNG containers nationwide within 3 years, with marking to begin immediately in select areas.
AQSIQ's supplementary provisions further require TPID Beijing to provide certain types of its proprietary S-DNA readers/scanners to approximately 25,000 LNG gas stations and 15,000 manufacturers throughout China and to integrate the stations and manufacturers into a special equipment identification security management system.
In its supplementary provisions, AQSIQ sets out certain "target" prices for TPID Beijing to provide (1) a special equipment identification security/safety logo for 130 million LNG tanks (a price for marking each LNG tank); (2) 50,000 of a certain type of its proprietary S-DNA readers/scanners; (3) 15,000 of another type of its proprietary S-DNA reader/scanner; and (4) an information management system for 50,000 platforms/ports for LNG gas stations, special equipment manufacturers and other entities in China.
Under the target prices set forth in its supplementary provisions, AQSIQ projects the total gross revenue over a 3-year period for the use of TPID's technology for LNG containers to be approximately 20.13 Billion Chinese Yuan, which according to , equates to approximately 2.67 Billion U.S. Dollars as of August 30, 2007. TPID has not yet completed its analysis as to what would be net revenues. TPID anticipates it will be in a better position to more fully ascertain the expenses needed to implement this LNG tank phase of the AQSIQ project cooperation agreement as more details are gathered during TPID Beijing's continued coordination and consultation with AQSIQ, provincial and local authorities, LNG gas stations, and special equipment manufacturers.
TPID expects to post a copy of and further information about the supplementary provisions on TPID websites. More specific details about the supplementary provisions will come as TPID Beijing works with AQSIQ to implement them.
About True Product ID
I have waited and waited to bring this one to the board. I have now come to the conclusion it is well worth the risk....
TPDI- It's parent co. SSTY is still on the greys so no doubt it is risky
My goal on this one though is 5.00$ ++ it is currently sitting at
.05.....The potential is phenomenal..
TPDI produces a liquid anti -counterfitting solution which is invisible except with their patented scanners...The solution is well on its way towards international patents also...This solution cannot be removed
and is basically indestructible. They basically have been totally accepted by the chinese government(who has in some instances mandated it's use (as with the automotive industry) The womans world soccer cup has marked over 1 million tickets with it, while not a lot of money this is great world wide exposure...
With the current up roar over shoddy and even dangerous products coming out of china , TPDI as the solution could receive explosive gains...
Here is todays pr.

FPFX to go after assets of bankrupted former operating subsidiary, FPFI. Per the 10Q filed today, the company states that FPFI stock was improperly transferred to the FPFI Creditor Trust by former management and announces intention to reclaim the assets.
From 10Q Filed Today
As reported in the Company's periodic filings under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
FirstPlus Financial, Inc. ("FPFI"), filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code in March 1999. On April 7, 2000, the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, confirmed FPFI's
plan of reorganization ("Plan"). The Plan, INTER ALIA, provided for the creation
of a Creditor Trust to hold assets, resolve claims and make distributions in
accordance therewith ("Creditor Trust"). Pursuant to the Plan, the outstanding
stock of FPFI was to remain unimpaired. Subsequent to confirmation of the Plan
and notwithstanding the plain language to the contrary, the FPFI stock was
transferred from the Company into a trust controlled by the trustee of the
Creditor Trust ("Trustee").
The current Board of Directors of the Company, elected in June 2007, views
the transfer of the FPFI stock by prior management and the Trustee to have been
beyond the scope what was approved under the Plan and beyond the authority of
the Company's prior management and the Trustee to implement. The Company is the
rightful beneficial owner of the stock of FPFI and of FPFI's assets. The Company
has advised the Trustee of its position and has requested that certain financial
information be provided by the Creditor Trustee. The Company has requested a
meeting with the Trustee to discuss the ownership of FPFI, at which meeting it
also intends to assert that there is no continuing need for the Creditor Trust.
The Company today has ongoing operations and new management that could continue
to implement the Plan at a fraction of the costs being incurred by the Creditor
Trust. To date, a meeting with the Trustee has not been scheduled. The Board of
Directors intends to employ any and all available legal remedies in support of
the Company's position.

MDVX $1.70 Unknown Modavox Targets AOL's Tacoda to Cash in on Patent (Clickz.com)
http://www.clickz.com/3626733
By Kate Kaye, The ClickZ Network, Aug 14, 2007
Tacoda's pending acquisition by AOL may have been a catalyst for a new patent infringement suit filed against the behavioral targeting firm. Modavox, an online broadcasting media production firm-turned-software provider, has over the past few months sought to identify patent infringement suit targets, of which Tacoda appears to be the first.
Modavox Thursday announced it had filed a suit against Tacoda in US District Court for the Southern District of New York, claiming the behavioral targeting firm has violated its patent on a
"Method and System for Adding Function to a Web Page." The so-called business method patent covers a technology that serves up customized multimedia content and advertising to Web users. Modavox, a public company, was granted the patent in 2003 under its former name, SurfNet Media Group; the patent application was filed in 1999.
"We really were focused on Tacoda a long time ago when they came out with their whole business model," said Modavox CTO and Chief Product Officer Nathaniel Bradley. "Tacoda is one of many potential infringers out there," he added, noting Tacoda competitors such as Revenue Science, AlmondNet and others are also possible lawsuit targets. "It's impossible for us to sue everybody," he said.
Tacoda is reviewing the Modavox complaint, according to Tacoda CEO Curt Viebranz, who said the company does not comment on active litigation.
In May, Modavox hired intellectual property law firm Fox Rothschild, LLP to represent the company in patent enforcement efforts. The tech outfit commissioned the person behind the patent in question, Andrew Burgess, to study potential infringement suit targets in March. Modavox aims to "create revenue around licensing," said Bradley.
Bradley said he believes Tacoda considered Modavox's technology when developing its own behavioral targeting system. "We have a hard time believing…we weren’t part of their due diligence, their thought process, along the way," he said.
Though Bradley stressed Tacoda has been "on our radar" from the "outset," he admitted AOL's recent agreement to purchase Tacoda got the lawsuit ball rolling faster. "With that filing we felt a sense of urgency," he said. AOL agreed to buy Tacoda last month for $275 million to bolster the behavioral targeting capabilities of its Advertising.com ad network and on its own properties. Tacoda launched in 2001 and refers to its technology as patent-pending.
"Industry consolidation gives patent owners larger and deeper pockets to sue…even though financially stronger defendants also increase the odds of better-funded litigation defenses," said marketing tech law pundit Eric Goldman, Assistant Professor at Santa Clara University School of Law.
Last year Modavox was pondering the viability of a patent infringement revenue model, according to a November 2006 SEC filing stating, "We have recently been approached by a third party to discuss whether it is feasible to pursue suspected infringement of our Modavox Central patent. We currently do not know whether infringement has occurred or the conditions, if any, under which we might pursue this suspected infringement."
It appears as though Modavox has been interested in boosting its interactive software industry presence over the past year or so. The company, which opened a new Interactive Media Division facility in Las Vegas in March, purchased Kino Interactive early last year, adding to its rich media delivery capabilities. v"We're a bit of an unknown," Bradley said, adding, "We haven't spent any money on PR or marketing."
The company provides audio and video content and ad delivery services to Gannett's AZCentral.com and Detroit Free Press, among other sites. Coincidentally, Tacoda enabled behavioral ad targeting for Gannett's USAToday site until discontinuing its publisher-side targeting service.
Since the US Patent and Trademark Office began awarding business method patents to the likes of Amazon.com, eBay and Priceline.com, such patent filings have been increasingly subject to controversy. The patents are used for technologies for things like data processing, and even education and training. In 1999, Amazon was awarded a patent for its "1-Click" online transaction system, and soon thereafter it sued Barnesandnoble.com for infringing on the patented system.
Local search site Local.com was awarded a patent last month covering a method for voice and mobile directory assistance. The company said it will look into charging competitors with patent licensing fees.
Expect more efforts to enforce patents, said Goldman. Noting a general increase in patent litigation, he told ClickZ News, "I would anticipate more patent enforcement even without industry consolidation."

News for 'MDVX' - (Modavox Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Tacoda Company Files Lawsuit in U.S. District Court in New York's 7th District Seeking Injunctive Relief and as Yet Unspecified Damages)
PHOENIX & NEW YORK, Aug 09, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Modavox, Inc. (OTCBB:MDVX),
an Internet broadcasting pioneer in the production and syndication of online
audio and video, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against Tacoda,
Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
(Case No. 07 CV 7088). In the suit, Modavox asserts its claim that Tacoda is
infringing on United States Patent No. 6,594,691, "Method and System for Adding
Function to a Web Page," and may soon issue claims from at least one additional
patent. Modavox is seeking injunctive relief and as yet unspecified damages
stemming from Tacoda's infringing activities.
This suit against Tacoda is the first step in a potentially wide-reaching
campaign designed to enforce Modavox's proprietary rights to its groundbreaking
technology and to advance Modavox to its rightful place in the industry. Modavox
intends to utilize its increasing business resources to further expand its
ongoing analyses of activity within the industry, including identifying
additional potential infringers of its expanding patented intellectual property
portfolio.
"Modavox's commitment to innovation has yielded highly valuable patented
intellectual property. Our management team, in conjunction with Fox Rothschild
LLP, made a strategic business decision to design, create and execute a
comprehensive plan in support of our patented process and technologies," said
David Ide, CEO at Modavox. "We knew that decision would likely include pursuing
enforcement through the legal system, and we are confident that the action we
have taken today is an appropriate step on behalf of our shareholders and
believe it will allow us to begin to reveal the true value of our patented
intellectual property."
Nathaniel T. Bradley, Chief Technology & Product Officer at Modavox, stated,
"Upon review of data produced from our thorough infringement analysis, it's
clear to us that Tacoda is infringing on the Modavox patents. Our leading edge
technical innovations in customized content delivery have been used by Tacoda,
as well as by a growing list of identified infringers, and is foundational to
their product lines. The action today by Modavox is paramount to our overall
patent enforcement strategy and is the culmination of years of effort; it is a
long-awaited milestone for our company."
Dr. Daniel F. Coughlin of Fox Rothschild, who is acting as Modavox's lead
counsel in the case, stated, "We are confident in both the validity of Modavox's
patent assets and the importance of their proprietary technology in this sector
of online commerce. This suit clearly should demonstrate both of these points
and, at the same time, serve notice on the industry that Modavox intends to take
all steps necessary to leverage fully its technology and its intellectual
property to further its business goals."
Update on DGRI $1.50 - Dutch Gold. This release is significant for two reasons. One it adds a person with significant mining experience to the BOD. Two it tells us they are pursuing other properties in the area. From the research I have done on this area in Oregon it has always been considered an excellent gold area. I believe anything below $1.50 is an excellent entry point.
News for 'DGRI' - (Dutch Gold Appoints Geologist James L. Browne to Board of Directors and Consultant to the Company)
ATLANTA, GA, Jul 20, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Dutch Gold Resources,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DGRI) (the "Company"), a developer and operator of proven gold
mines and a regional mill in North America, today announced the appointment of
James L. Browne to the Board of Directors and consultant to the company.
Mr. Browne is a prominent geologist with extensive expertise in evaluating
properties, particularly in the regions of Idaho and Oregon. He began his career
in 1956 after obtaining a Master of Science degree in geology from Michigan
Technological University. Since 1992, Mr. Browne has been a consulting geologist
conducting property evaluations, open pit geology and ore reserve definition at
the Company's Benton Mine. Previously, Mr. Browne held positions at Hecla Mining
where he supervised a crew of geologists and participated in discoveries leading
to substantial benefit to Hecla. He also held the position of Chief Exploration
Engineer for Day Mines, Inc. in Idaho where he was responsible for the company's
exploration Board of Geology for ten years and property evaluation efforts. Day
Mines merged into Hecla Mining Co. in 1981. Earlier in his career, Mr. Browne
held the position of Northwest Geologist for Copper Range Mining Company and
American Zinc Company. He is a registered geologist in both Idaho, having served
on the Idaho and Oregon and a member of SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy and
Exploration). He was a member of the Idaho Board of Registration for
Professional Geologists for ten years.
Dan Hollis, Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Gold Resources, stated, "Jim's
strong credentials, expertise and familiarity with the region make him a
valuable addition to the company as we pursue our strategy of acquiring
gold-producing properties in close proximity to our existing mines in southwest
Oregon. Our Benton Mine production continues to make progress, and Mr. Browne's
consultations have been very beneficial. Jim has already added value to the
Company and we are pleased to expand his role."
Mr. Hollis continued, "We plan to open the Gold Bug Mine, which is adjacent to
the Benton Mine, and his expertise will be very helpful. Jim's role as
consultant to Dutch Gold will be very important in enabling us to identify and
evaluate additional properties for our portfolio. The management team felt that
it was very important to add a seasoned mining professional to our corporate
decision making process. We are very enthusiastic that a man of Mr. Browne's
integrity and experience would join us at this stage of the Company's
development"
The Long Case for Modavox - SeekingAlpha 7/20/07
Posted on Jul 20th, 2007 with stocks: MDVX.OB
http://internet.seekingalpha.com/article/41727
Jason Assad submits: Modavox Inc. (MDVX.OB), Internet broadcasting pioneer and holder of several patented technologies, owns US Patent No. 6,594,691 and has received a continuation on that original patent from the USPTO which will result in an additional patent that will expand their accepted claims and protect their inventions through 2018. They have also received favorable indications from the USPTO on divisional patent filings that could yield, upon successful completion and acceptance of claims, additional patents being issued to the company. You may reference the company’s own recent release on this matter as well as a previous article recently published here at Seeking Alpha. I expect the end result may be that the company will own many as four separate patents collectively covering integral processes used widely by some off the Internet space's largest players in the Advertising and Streaming Media Delivery Market.
Modavox’s patents essentially cover a technology process and a software system that enables any networked delivered content to be customized based on end user criteria. In other words a student enrolled in say a University of Phoenix, (who they do business with) program at the Houston campus could login to their E-learning platform and receive video, audio, and other content that are specific to his or her field of study and campus location. That same environment could produce different tailored content for a student at a different campus and specific field of study. This technology invention has been used by Modavox in applications including:
· E-Learning Platform
· Private Internet Based Video and Audio Broadcasting Networks
· Advertising Platform
· Internet Radio Platform
· Enterprise Communications Platform
· Geo-Targeting
They have existing E-Learning clients including Merrill Lynch (MER), Allergan (AGN), and Genentech (DNA). Additionally, their advertising platform is utilized by the Arizona Republic’s leading site. Modavox also operates the leading Internet talk radio networks at Voice America and World Talk Radio with in excess of 5 million unique monthly visitors. The invention is proven in a diverse group of Internet applications all of which I believe have direct utility for use by companies like Google (GOOG), Yahoo (YHOO), eBay (EBAY), AOL (TWX) and others. You may also recall that Google bought YouTube for its 20 million unique visitors a month and I believe they paid close to $80 per unique visitor. Ironically, it’s targeted audiences that online advertisers are specifically seeking. Modavox’s Internet radio audience is highly targeted and perfect for advertisers seeking a specific niche audience they can monetize.
Additionally, I believe the company has identified through the completion of comprehensive infringement studies that many leading organizations have utilized their patented process within the online marketplace. The company recently announced it intends to protect its intellectual property through pursuing a patent enforcement strategy that includes potential licensing and infringement litigation. The company recently engaged the service of Fox Rothschild LLP and one of their partners Dr. Daniel F. Coughlin is leading the firm’s efforts. Coughlin, apparently played an integral role in a previous patent infringement case involving patents relating to the fax machine many years back. I understand that the successful defense of his client’s intellectual property resulted in the subsequent rolling up or licensing of much of the entire market resulting in a windfall for his client. I believe along with Dr. Coughlin that Modavox’s patents are both enforceable and highly valuable.
Besides patents and their respective values, the company’s fundamentals in themselves offer substantial opportunity. The company previously suggested they expect current year revenues to increase in excess of 100% to $7 million. Because of the company’s 70%-80% margins, it has sizeable earnings leverage which should result in nice earnings per share while many other comparables are not yet profitable. The company currently maintains no debt on their balance sheet and management and 5% holders appear to collectively own roughly 17-20 million of the approximate 35 million shares outstanding.
I do expect the company to be likely acquired as the space continues to see consolidation. I see any one of a multitude of multi-billion dollar companies like GOOG, Akamai (AKAM), Limelight Networks (LLNW), Apollo Group (APOL), EBAY, Microsoft (MSFT), and AOL as potential suitors. With the fierce competition between many of the players in the space, the acquisition of Modavox and their patented technology would provide a unique asset capable of being leveraged against competitors. With the company’s current mere $62 million market cap, anyone of them could write a couple hundred million dollar check with ease or simply issue a few million additional shares. They could immediately then turn around and go after other infringers including competitors for more than enough money to cover the nominal cost of the purchase of Modavox.
If for some reason the company decides to not sell out, on a longer term basis, I see the potential making of the next Akamai, ironically already a partner of theirs.

OS: ~4.5 million

Unilens vision is a maker of contact lenses that focuses primarily on small niche markets including multifocal and toric lenses. They license their C-Vue multifocal lenses to Bausch & Lomb and it is the #1 selling multifocal lens in the world. The lisencing percentage was recently lowered under the B&L contract but the next step-down isn't until 2014. Under terms of the contract, the company cannot disclose how much licensing fees increased without the step-down in the 2007 fiscal year.
Unilens recently added a toric multifocal lens that they expect to create a new market for contact lenses. Traditionally, people who have astigmatism and presbyopia (require multifocal lenses) have used a near-sighted lens in one eye and a far-sighted lens in the other. The brand new C-Vue Toric Multifocal lens will create a new market that the company believes could grow to from a $10 million market to a $100 million market.
The company is involved in four separate lens segments. Gas permeable lenses are a dying technology that the company runs for cash. Sales are declining about 5% per year in this segment. The Lombart business buys mature lens designs from other companies and primarily sells them to existing customers (but not new customers). This business is also run for cash and produces very good margins.
In the 2006 fiscal year, Unilens purchased automation equipment for the manufacturing of their contact lenses. Currently, nearly 50% of lens manufacturing is outsourced to third parties. Unilens is investing in the company to lower costs by moving to producing lathe lenses which should help lower their cost structure.
In the 2007 fiscal year (which ends in June), the company adjusted some of their prices (lower) on their new products because they were priced too high. Now the company is gaining traction and from my interaction with the company, they expect good things in the next few years.
Finally, something that you don't find very often in microcap land...a 9% dividend yield. UVICF pays a $.075 quarterly dividend which is funded through cash flow from operations.
I believe that it will be at $7 by July 31, 2008.

The FPFX sell-off last week seems overdone, in my opinion. The stock closed at .25 or above, for 19 out of the last 23 trading days. The volume for the days the stock closed over .25 totaled over 4 million, and the subsequent retrenchment to .18 totals less than 500,000 shares so far. It seems to me that there was simply some overdue profit taking by long term holders who bought in the .03 to .13 range over the last several years. The latest 10Q reported .27 per share in cash alone, which argues strongly in favor of a rebound, in my opinion, and I am a buyer at anything under .25. One caveat, the stock could trade down for a few days after the annual distribution to shareholders from the Grantor Trust as it did last year. Of course, the difference was approximately, the amount of the distribution and the stock subsequently recovered all that and more. The bottom line for me is this; there is more CASH per share than the stock is currently trading for, and I think we will likely see a correction very soon.
