Datawatch (DWCH)
DWCH announced earnings on 4/25. They were very good. Sales were up 6% and they made $.04 per share. They released some details on their new acquisition. I believe this will be accretive to earnings going forward. They will use most of their cash for this deal, but have arranged a $3 million credit line, so they should be ok. Valuation has moved up (incorporating the estimated impact of the acquisiton) to $9.31 per share from previous $7.50. Buying more at this level since stock did nothing–closing Friday at $3.77 up only slightly from our $3.66 buy price.
MIVA
Anounced preliminary Q1 results on 4/21. Not bad. Sales are expected to be over $44 million with positive EBITDA ($.5 million), and a GAAP loss of $.12–slightly higher than expected due to higher foreign taxes. Stock jumped to $4.40–up 16% from our $3.80 buy price. Cash grew to $39.7 million–over a buck a share. Looking good. Will update our $9.10 valuation when full numbers get published. Hold–or buy a little at this price if you did not get in.
Lion Inc. (LINN.ob)
Another OB-aby.
Lion Inc. Valuation is $.79, trading at $.34-$.36. Thin volume as with most of our OBabies–until everyone else figures it out!

MIVA–Closed at $3.62 down from our$3.80 buy price. Nothing has changed, valuation still $9.10. Buy

Datalink (DTLK)
Cha-Ching. DTLK released earnings this morning. They were goooooooood. Stock soared to over $6, We sold 3/4’s of our position at $6.25, this morning and closed out the remaining 25% at $5.75 this afternoon for a gain of about 45%. we’ll take it.
INXY (IYXI.ob)
Closed at $2.25 down $.75 today. Held this one too long, obviously. Hit their sales numbers, missed their loss number by a mile. Forecasting $150 million in sales this year and to be profitable–but not until the second half of the year. They have another possible aquisition pending. These guys are swinging for the fences for sure. If the banks support them this will be a huge winner. But gotta make it till then. Hold for now.
MIVA
MIVA closed at $4.08 on Friday. Now up 5% from our $3.88 buy. Buy
DTLK closed at $4.11, still below our buy price of $4.24–down 3%–Buy
DWCH-closed at $3.85 down last week but still 5% higher than our $3.66 buy price. Buy.
INFT–closed at $4.38 up 7% from our $4.11 buy price. Hard to tell if this is starting its move up or not due to the low volume. Buy
ONXS–closed at $4.75. Now up 16% from $4.11 buy price. No word on take over offer from CSC, but Loeb Partners just increased thier holdings to 7.25% of ONXS. Bought 273,000 shares from Feb. 1 to March 24th at $3.77 to $4.57 per share. A good sign I think of a higher offer. Hold.
