Is Mr. Market being too harsh on these stocks?

TIXC (Tix Corporation); The stock was slammed after reporting losses on weaker than expected results Monday 08/09/10. Today the drop continued closing the day at .77 or 24 million market cap. The capital structure is still clean with a share count reduction over the past few years. Unfortunately it looks like they over paid for those buybacks. Q4 2009 they repurchased 1.3 million shares at an average of $1.55 per share.


Cash .27 per share – total liabilities .22 per share = .05 net cash per share ; 2.14 per share in sales, .64 per share in GP

This stock looks troubled based on the just released results. Management is expecting improved results but that his comments were specifically top line improvement for the second half of the year. No mention of improved profitability.

Insider own 42% so hopefully they are incentivized to create shareholder value.

Long TIXC


NOOF New Frontier Media; Hit a new 52 low closing the day at 1.36.

Its not comforting that some of my favorite value shops like Royce have been selling. But they did turn a profit this quarter.

Cash per share is .73

AR per share is .63

Geez the stock is only 1.36 with prior 12 month annual sales of 50 million!

Total liabilities are .43 per share

Cash +AR – total liabilities = .73+.63 -.43 = .93

Stock price = 1.36 -.73(cash) - AR (.63) +Total Liabilities (.43) = .43 or ~ 8.3 million

for 52 million in sales that generates huge amounts of free cash flow. FCF over the prior 5 quarters was 1.322 million. .49 in EBITDA per share or 9.53 million

There seems to be some real value …. But there is risk with revenue concentration.

Long NOOF
