Nach einem split 5:1 im November 07 jetzt der Salto rückwärts mit 1:15.
API versucht sich zu ordnen und paßt Aktienverhältnis dem Markt und der Unternehmensgröße (Umsatz, Entwicklungspotential) an.
Ich persönlich sehe nicht den großen "burner" hier, glaube aber, dass das Unternehmen und somit der Aktienwert total unterbewertet ist.
Geduld ist angesagt, es braucht sicherlich 2-3 Jahre für aussagefähige Prognose.
Ich bleibe long.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal 2009
-- Revenues were $25.7 million, a 16.9% decrease from the $30.9 million recorded in the same period in 2008. The decrease is largely attributed to the Canadian operations having to significantly reduce selling prices to a major customer for products that will be manufactured overseas over the next several quarters;
-- GAAP net loss for the twelve months ended May 31, 2009 was $6.4 million or -$0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million or -$0.26 per share for the twelve months ended May 31, 2008. The loss includes non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $2.2 million. Excluding these non-cash charges and total R&D expenses of $4.2 million, non-GAAP net income was breakeven versus a loss of $1.0 million in the previous year(1);
-- GAAP gross margins increased 5.9% to 23.6% compared to 17.7% in fiscal 2008; and
-- The Company ended the year with a strong balance sheet with cash and marketable securities totaling more than $2.5 million and no bank debt.
Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2009
-- Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $6.3 million, a 28% decrease from the $8.8 million recorded in the same period of fiscal 2008; and
-- GAAP net loss of $2.1 million or -$0.07 per share, compared to a loss of $3.6 million or -$0.14 per share for the same period of fiscal 2008. The loss includes stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $0.9 million. Excluding these non-cash charges and total R&D expenses of $1.1 million, non-GAAP net loss was $.01 million versus a loss of $1.8 in the same period last year(1).
Operational Highlights
-- The Company reduced design and manufacturing centers to four from eight, closing and consolidating operations at facilities in Ogdensburg, Endicott, and Islip New York and Largo, Florida. These strategic moves were undertaken to reduce operating costs while enhancing production capabilities;
-- In May 2009, the Company announced an expanded partnership with Sital Technologies. This agreement allows API to sell Sital's state-of-the-art 1553 data bus IP cores in the United States, while the companies also agreed to increase co-development of next generation 1553 data bus offerings;
-- In February 2009, API's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of the Company's common stock;
-- In September 2008, API announced a 15-1 reverse stock split;
-- In September 2008, API Nanotronics announced its Nanotechnology Division had been enlisted by a leading semiconductor capital equipment to develop a key component for a next generation lithography product;

(1) In this press release, API has provided a non-GAAP financial measure for (i) net profit (loss) to reflect its financial results without stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, and research and development expense. Management believes the non-GAAP presentations make it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results. These are not recognized measures under US GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning, and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows.
