The Company`s income from continuing operations, excluding one time, non- cash charges of $1.3 million related to settlement of certain liabilities, was $6.9 million for the current nine-month period (prior period $2.0 million loss on a comparable basis) and its income from discontinued operations was $0.4 million (prior period $6.7 million loss), resulting in a net income, excluding one time, non-cash charges of $1.3 million related to settlement of certain liabilities, for the current period of $7.3 million (prior period $8.7 million net loss on a comparable basis). After deducting preferred stock dividends, net income attributable to Common Shareholders was $4.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2003, versus a net loss of $10.0 million for the 2002 nine-month period. Basic earnings (loss) per share were $0.24 as compared to ($0.93) for the nine-month comparable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share were $0.24 as compared to ($0.93) for the nine-month comparable period.

" Results in our Response segment were outstanding, however I do not want to overlook our continued progress in generating `non-event` revenues," stated Jerry Winchester, Chief Executive Officer. " Excluding equipment sales, our Prevention revenues grew by 23 percent year over year. Continued growth in our Venezuelan operation and in our WELLSURE® program is leading the way. During the quarter we also signed two new SafeGuard international agreements. Projected revenues for these contracts are $3 million over the next two years. The Company remains dedicated to growing this segment of predictable base revenues."

" In addition to the operational results, the Company continues to be successful with its restructuring initiatives," commented Kirk Krist, Chairman of the Board. " During the quarter, we made strong additions to the Company`s Board of Directors and successfully implemented the reverse stock split with the strong support of our shareholders. Most importantly, we strengthened our balance sheet. There is still more to be done, but I feel we are now well positioned to take advantage of new growth opportunities in our industry."

Operational highlights include:
-- Prevention revenues were $1.7 million and $12.6 million for the third
quarter and nine months, respectively. During the third quarter, the
Company secured two major SafeGuard contracts worth approximately
$3 million over the next two years. The Company also introduced
WELLSURE(R) into Canada.
-- Response revenues were $6.3 million and $14.4 million for the
third quarter and nine months, respectively.
-- Revenues earned from Middle East related work were $4.8 million for
the third quarter and $17.6 million for the nine-month period, which
includes a first quarter equipment sale of $6.6 million.
-- At September 30, the Company reported working capital of $7.8 million
and long-term debt of $13.5 million.
-- Shareholders` Equity improved $12 million, from a deficit of
$14.0 million at December 31, 2002.
-- The Company improved its balance sheet and reclassified its
subordinated debt into long-term debt.

Allen Vernehmen nach hängt noch viel an den Verträgen mit dem Irak,sollten diese Bestand haben ist sicherlich ein Kurssprung möglich

Grüße joker

habe mir gerade ueber muenchen fuer 1,27 ein paar ins depot gelegt. die entscheidung muesste doch heute abend, wenn nicht uebers wochenende fallen. na dann hoffen wir mal, dass cheney, der unsympath, was reissen kann, bei der auslosung.

Aber Du sicherst doch ab,falls der Schuss nach hintenlosgeht?!
Bei der Klamotte würde ich das machen.
Bei 1,10€ habe ich die Reißleine in der Hand.

Grüße joker

warten noch bis zum neuen Report Ende März und entscheiden dann (nur für die, die nicht wissen was er oben gepostet hat mit Datum v.7Januar)

sl haengt bei 1,15. das duerfte sich aber zu deinen 1,1 nix nehmen. falls es nicht klappen sollte, bekommen wir dann sicherlich preise um die 1.
aber wir, die investierten, gehen ja wohl von einer positiven entwicklung aus. was mich wirklich reizt ist, dass die entscheidung in den naechsten 2 tagen fallen wird und nicht in "naher zukunft".
gruss
seavers

deswegen hast Du hoffentlich auch gesehen,das ich meinen sl gepostet habe.
Darüberhinaus gehe ich davon aus,das Personendie in solche Werte investieren auch des Englischen mächtig sind.
Ansonsten können sie auch blinde Kuh spielen.

so long
