Tom:

NBSC wrote down an investment in DGI BioTechnologies, which has been a money pit for them in recent years. More importantly, they have no future financial commitments to them (it is a startup biotech), but they still retain almost 50% ownership, in case there is ever any upside. That should clear their ability to grow EPS substantially in the next 9 months, and make the strength of their core business much more visible. 

They are seasonal, so you likely won't see sequential growth, but y-o-y should be solid going forward, with a marked increase in y-o-y EPS for the next 3 quarters.

Ian

  Hi Chris,
   
  NBSC - I must admit I missed this low priced micro cap back at the $6 base, just wasn't impressed with the lack of growth of either sales or earnings. I suspect the explosive Q4 is 9/11 related, and likely unsustainable, so disappointment may lie ahead for investors sudden high expectations.
   
  DLI - Q2 showed a nice growth in both sales and earnings, but didn't do much since in Q3 and Q4. Unless this years Q1 shows some further growth, Y2Y comparisons are likely to be pretty flat by Q2. Also has 149% debt, but otherwise the fundies look decent except for the 9% ROE.

  NBSC 80/93  Chart is looking good, starting to break out on good volume. Might be worth watching next few days.

  DLI 80/89 also looking good and worth watching.
