DON'T BUY

Basically a holding company with a great variety of other technologies. Near term everybody is focused on their flat panel. Ranks at about halfway on their model. Earnings are expected to decline by 37%. A lot of money for a company not going to make any money. Good technology, but a lot of competition.

BUY

Has moved up quite sharply lately on their I-Fire flat panel TV. About 3 weeks away from having their plant up and running and will be producing 34" at $300US. Probably 15 months away from market. May be a joint venture coming.

BUY

There's so much potential in the flat panel business, but a lot of competition also. Now that it's gone through $4, it's a Buy, but there is a risk attached to it.

WAIT

Had a big selloff from 200 to 2003 and is now base building. Any kind of a breakout now in the area of $4 would be a good signal.

BUY

Could easily get an asset value twice what it's worth now, but the trouble is if they don't cut a deal, they'll lose their competitive advantage. A good long shot to take in this market.

BUY

Taking a long time and the market is not giving them any credit. Has a medical division that is probably worth about $2.50 a share as well as $1 a share in cash. The technology for their flat panel TV appears to be right and are currently waiting for a joint venture in it. Have a pilot plant in Toronto. Expects the stock will go sideways antil the day their is an announcement of a partner. Getting more confident.

TRADE

Underway in building their pilot plant for manufacturing of flat screen TV's. They need this and a joint venture partner. Very frustrated with the time he's had to wait on it for any action. There's a window that's closing with competition coming, so they need to do this quickly. It will pop if there's any announcement of a partner.

DON'T BUY

The real key in the near term is the flat panel display. That being said, Japanese and Koreans are now introducing their 6th generation to help drive down prices. Ranks in the bottom 15% in his database model. 2005 earnings are expected to go from a loss of $0.34 in 2004 to a loss of $0.48 in 2005.

WEAK BUY

Not much growth in their smaller assets. Their i-fire division is driving their total outlook. They have to beat the competition and any success there could result in an $6/8 stock. It has taken a long time to get their flat screen product to market.

SELL

Not favorite management, tech team. Trade don't own. Wont go to $20.

DON'T BUY

Flat panel display side of the business could have a lot of potential upside, but it's taken a lot of years to get it to market. Doesn't know what the royalties are going to be. The net asset value today is probably in the $4/5 range, but depends on when they get the product moving.

BUY

Has a silver wound dressing business that's worth a couple of $'s a share. Also has $1 a share in cash. The window is closing on their flat panel screen and they had better hurry. If they can bring it to market, there is a lot of potential value.

HOLD

The iFire division is the interesting part of the company. Raised capital and are utilizing it to raise a plant for manufacturing of the larger screen. Has been devoid of news for the last little while, so the stock has drifted back a bit. There should be more news in '05.

WAIT

One or two of its technologies are now coming through the i-fire flat panel technology. Now starting to come back having won a patent battle. Their subsiduary just got a milestone payment on their clean sterile ThermicEdge product.You are now seeing some commercialization. Wait to see if this continues.

WATCH

Medical division looks pretty good and is conservatively worth $2.50 per share. The iFire is on target for the middle of next year. Starting to worry that they may have missed the consumer window. Would like to see a joint venture partner.
