Yes, management is reverse splitting and taking the company private. One of the few reverse splits that was GOOD for investors.

This stock was really really good to me... Now going private!
Stock is very steady, will try to accumulate in single digits for the next run.
Really shows how well managed the company is, for price to hold up with years between hurricane strikes.

I'm looking for earnings in the next 2 weeks, and expecting continued NET PROFITS, so this stock may get more active soon.
ABIX-PROFITABLE NOW-NEW STORES-STOCK BUYBACK - this former NASDAQ company seems to be the ultimate hurricane play for 2010, See sticky post below for company comments on effect of hurricanes and natural disasters on revenues.
To Our Fellow Stockholders:
With respect to 2009, we are especially grateful for the loyalty of our customers and the reliability of our suppliers. In addition, we are thankful for the confidence in our Company from our stockholders and the support we receive from the communities in which we operate.
Although we remained profitable in 2009 when compared to 2008, both sales and profitability were negatively impacted by the following items.
•
There were no significant weather related events in 2009.
•
The recession in the U.S. economy.
During 2008, there were floods in the Midwest as well as a hurricane that made landfall in South Texas and another hurricane that made landfall in Galveston, Texas. These events provided a major source of revenue for the Company, as we assisted in the clean up and restoration process. During 2009, there were no major events to provide an equal level of revenue.
The current recession in the U.S. caused many manufacturers to reduce their production levels and layoff staff. The economic slowdown also caused delays or cancellation of many commercial construction projects.
As a result of the lower revenue levels, we carefully evaluated our company expenses early in 2009. As a result of that evaluation, we made the difficult decision to reduce our level of staff, however; we also made great strides in reducing other expenses so that our current expense levels are better aligned with our current revenue levels. We do not anticipate any improvement in the commercial construction market during 2010.
Our conservative approach throughout the years has kept our debt levels manageable. This management philosophy, combined with our profitability in 2008, afforded us the opportunity to reduce our debt significantly in 2009, in spite of the economic downturn. The reduction of debt has provided us with the financial flexibility and the opportunity to expand our operations. In September 2009, we added a new facility in San Diego, California. In December 2009, we acquired a small business in Jacksonville, Florida. Both of these efforts provide us with the opportunity to better serve our customers.Because revenues have stabilized, our expenses have been reduced and our debt level remains low, the Board approved the repurchase of up to $500,000 of stock during 2010. These purchases can be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions. Although our overall outlook for 2010 remains neutral, we are having some success attacking new markets and will continue to actively pursue new customers in both historical and new markets.
We believe 2010 will provide some opportunities as well as some challenges. Rest assured, that we are prepared to face these challenges and are confident that with the help of our long term investors, customers, suppliers and employees, we will be a stronger company going forward.
Thank you for your continued support.

Zoom in on the right and check out the large building, all the way to to right.
It's a big spread, only $1.8 million outstanding shares.
thinking of selling my OPTC and replacing it with this stock, whats the spread though can i place an order for $5 a share?
I think Abatix will at least make a bagger from here if a hurricane were to hit a populated area this year, since it's already profitable.
If you remember 2005, IPII ran from $5 to $30 on the hurricane strikes...
I believe ABIX should be in a similar situation, and with only 1.8 million shares outstanding.... It will move fast!
You have your second boardark.. woo hoo!

Is it a hurricane play? I found this ....
March 15, 2005, 6:05 p.m. EDT · Recommend · Post:
Abatix Corp. /quotes/comstock/11i!abix (ABIX 6.90, +0.05, +0.73%) shares leapt more than 16 percent after the Dallas maker of tools and industrial safety equipment posted earnings of $214,000, or 3 cents per share, for 2004, up from its profit of $61,000, or 4 cents per share, last year. Sales rose 8 percent for the year to $52.9 million from $48.9 million in 2003. The company said its business benefited from higher sales volume, in part from business related to the hurricanes in Florida, as well as lower labor and certain other costs.
This looks like the Ultimate Hurricane Play stock... already profitable and has locations in Texas and Florida. Already has sales of 56 million dollars per year and only 1.8 million outstanding shares. Check it out, could be one that really takes off if the Cane Season is active.
