Did you know that the lion's share of the world's CO2 emissions come from buildings?

This phenomenon is even more prevalent in the U.S. than in the rest of the world. Supporting this statement, research indicates that American buildings contribute 38% of the country's total CO2 emissions.

This percentage even surpasses that of both the transportation and industrial sectors and could grow larger over the next 7 years since the U.S. is expected to add another 15 million buildings to its already cluttered landscape.

The construction of Green buildings is also projected to increase over the next 7 years as the concept gains widespread acceptance and more and more company's benefit from the technological and performance related improvements they facilitate.

Double Platinum Like Lil Wayne

The double platinum green building award was given to the The Lansing, Michigan-based Christman building, which was originally built in 1928. The project took a lot of consideration and effort to meet both external and internal LEED criteria and obtain the double platinum rating while maintaining its historical certification.

How'd They Do It?

The Christman building has under-floor air distribution which provides 200-300% more ventilation than typical systems. In addition, the building is furnished with several other energy efficient features including a white roof with 6” of extra insulation and dim exterior lighting. This was all accomplished by reusing over 90% of the original structure, cutting the cost of material and waste produced.

"One Platinum certification by any standard is extremely commendable," says D. Brooke Smith, project manager for the rehab. She went on to comment "Dual Platinum certifications in conjunction with the same project are unprecedented. Dual Platinum certifications in the context of a historic preservation project involving historic tax credits are almost unimaginable. Yet, through the collaborative efforts of SmithGroup and The Christman Company, this is exactly what the project team accomplished."

More on the Building:

The building is located downtown and entices workers and visitors to use public transportation. The added showers and locker rooms encourage walking and biking to work (wouldn’t that be a nice touch and incentive to have in every office?). In addition, the Christman facility became 32% more energy efficient by installing Green lighting technologies

Equipping nearly every room in the building with windows was a key contributing factor to the drastic reduction in lighting usage. The addition of sensors, timers, task lighting and Energy Star office equipment also significantly helped the cause. Furthermore, as a baseline energy control mechanism, the building is equipped with a computerized system that monitors and controls the electricity and gas usage as well as atmospheric conditions in and outside.

As the green movement gains clean steam, one company in our portfolio poised to benefit greatly from increased future green building construction in the U.S. is Nighthawk Systems (OTCBB: NIHK). NIHK engages in the design and manufacture of wireless power control products that are a perfect fit for any green building.

The Hawk's remote control product line provides the user with complete control over energy usage even when they are on the other side of the world. Ultimately, this results in reduced energy costs and consumption. Two obvious goals of
any green building.

The following release went out yesterday afternoon shortly after filing our second quarter results with the S.E.C. The Company recorded revenues of $736,356, more than twice the amount of revenues recorded in the same period in 2007. That figure pushed year to date revenues for 2008 through the first six months of the year to $1.6 million, nearly triple the amount recorded in the first six months of last year!

Sales of our traditional power control products led the way during the second quarter, producing 73% of total revenues during the period. Gross profits doubled from 2007 to 2008 as a result of the increase in revenues.



These are great results for the Company, and they could have been substantially larger in terms of revenues had we not shifted the production of nearly 4,000 set top boxes into the current third quarter. That shift occurred because we made changes to the manufacturing process during the second quarter, which will pay immediate dividends during the current third quarter of 2008 and beyond.

Our margins on set top boxes should improve significantly going forward, which will have a direct and positive impact on our bottom line and our cash flows. We've made so much progress with the set top box business since acquiring it last October – we've fully assimilated the business and now we are making improvements both to the product and to the production process, which are going to have a positive impact on the business. This will help us get new customers too.

With the shift of set top box production from the second to third quarter, we will fall short on my earlier predictions on revenues for 2008. But we will accelerate the improvement to the Company's bottom line and cash flows, which is much more important.

Making money and lessening our dependence on outside funding resources is obviously more important, and we took important steps in this process during the second quarter. Ultimately, this will help us grow more rapidly and in a healthier fashion.

One of our old favorites, Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) continues to push forward with publicly stated plans to significantly increase revenues during 2008 and recently announced the largest order ever for its bread & butter remote disconnect units.

During the 2nd week of July, NIHK announced an order for 1,000 of its CEO700 remote disconnect units from Avista Corp. (NYSE: AVA) (“Avista”) of Spokane, Washington. This marked the third order from the utility which generates annual revenues of more than $1.3 billion and provides electric and natural gas service to approximately 633,000 customers .

For those of you not overly familiar with Nighthawk, the company historically provided remote disconnect hardware that in a nutshell allows for the wireless connect and disconnect of virtually any electronic hardware. From electricity meters to hard drives, NIHK’s solutions, namely its CEO700 allowed the company to blossom from annual revenues of $529K in 2005 to roughly $1.7M in ’07 with aspirations to hit the $8M mark in 2008.

The reason for the aggressive outlook in 2008 is that NIHK recently acquired an IPTV set-top box business. For a point of reference, although I personally feel that the outlook may be just a tad on the optimistic side; Analysts are envisioning a market that will house 50 million subscribers by '09 and be worth nearly $40 billion by '10.

Either way, we’re currently looking at a very lucrative, yet fragmented market with no dominant supplier. Even if NIHK can just take a small chunk of the IPTV space, which it appears to be doing through initial contracts with leading hospitality technology providers, that coupled with its thriving utility business creates a very exciting situation going forward. Particularly for people like myself that have been watching the company closely for the past 3 years.

With oil flirting with all-time highs and inflation fears dragging the US Dollar to unprecedented lows while cost of living surges, technological solutions that help conserve both energy and money have never been more so timely.

The EIA projects that world energy consumption will rise nearly 60% from 2004 to 2030. During this time, the organization expects global use of petroleum and other liquid to grow from 83 million barrels oil equivalent per day to 118 million.

Demand Grows As Energy Prices Soar

So, clearly the need for solutions such as those offered by company's like Nighthawk Systems (OTCBB: NIHK), that are capable of turning virtually any electronic device off and on, is growing, seemingly by the day.

If the broader trends are not enough to convince you, the company's recent string of contracts should.

Another Record Order

NIHK announced a 485 unit CEO700 order today from the Public Works Commission ("PWC") of Fayetteville, NC. According the release, the order - which is expected to ship in 30 days - represents the largest initial order of CEO700's to date from a new customer

NIHK's 'bread and butter' remote control control business boasts a growing list of 50+ utility customers. After announcing the largest ever CEO700 order just a few months ago, it is very promising to see a record new customer order following along so quickly.

If you already know, the CEO700 gives electric utilities the ability to wirelessly disconnect and reconnect power to residential electric meters from a centralized location, improving customer service response times and saving the utility significant time and money over the traditional manual disconnect method that requires multiple truck rolls and field personnel (run-down courtesy of NIHK). Not a bad value-proposition in today's world. Eh?

2 Thriving Business Segments In 2 Thriving Markets

As I've mentioned in previous editions, NIHK's recently acquired set-top box business is expected to register $8M in 2008 revenues. It appears that NIHK more or less inherited a very positive relationship with a leading hospitality technology solutions provider with its purchase of the business.

Within the next few months, NIHK plans to have shipped about 4,700 set-top box units for the customer and seems optimistic that the orders will keep flowing for the foreseeable future.

All very promising given the fact that the aforementioned contracts alone hitting the books would equate to massive incremental revenue growth for the company. On an annualized basis nonetheless. Moreover, these are revenues from one single customer. The implications here are quite interesting if/when potential set-top box customer #1, #2, etc. emerge.

NIHK is showing more promise today than ever before in the more than two years that MSP has been covering the company. With two thriving business segments making documented success in two thriving markets (IPTV & M2M), we think that Nighthawk Systems Inc. is extremely well- positioned for growth in 2008 and beyond.

Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) is out with major news today.

The company recently received a 1,500 set-top box order and expects 2008 set-top box sales to surpass $8,000,000. For a company that logged less that $1M in revenues during the first three quarters of 2007, that figure is nothing to scoff at.

The order is from one of the world's largest hospitality broadband service providers and is a follow-up to a previously announced order for 4,200 units that NIHK has been shipping on for the past few months.

With the company's traditional remote disconnect business growing like never before and set-top box revenues expected in the $8M range for 2008, we could be looking at a seriously undervalued company here in the near future if everything goes as planned for management

Labels: IPTV, Nighthawk Systems Inc., NIHK

Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) continues to set the table for a feast in '08 while many other small-caps prepare for famish. Announcing today that they have entered into a burgeoning new market with a brand new, higher margin product, the hawk appears destined to soar in the coming months.

First and foremost, the company's traditional offering can help save time, money, and energy in virtually any application that utilizes an electronic device. The product is popular and is selling in droves. In an economy on a quest for value, NIHK's offering is not a bad value-proposition.

Diversifying Revenue Streams in 2008

Although deals with energy-related utilities have driven sales to record levels (Q3 sales were the best in 4 yrs.), NIHK's fast-growing offering has been adopted across a vast range of applications. From diesel generators for Verizon Wireless and the State of New Jersey, to exhaust fans at DaimlerChrysler's (NYSE: DCX) Trenton, Michigan engine plant, the company has made some very nice moves over the past year to expand out of its core niche.

This of course, is all in addition to logging their largest remote disconnect order ever and continuing to sign on and retain electrical utility customers at a record pace. Also, don't forget that NIHK recently purchased an IPTV set-top box business that brings with it just under $1M in sales which should hit the books in 2008 (½ came with the sale, about ½ came directly after). This number will grow with any additional orders. Note: To put this into perspective, consider the fact that NIHK logged about $899,000 in revenues for ALL of 2006.

Back to Today's News:

The company announced today that its partnership with American Traffic Solutions, Inc. ("ATS") has led to an initial order of 600 Nighthawk wireless-control and reboot units. According to today's news release, NIHK has developed a new product line that meets the specific needs of its partner and brings with it higher returns than the company's traditional offering.

One thing that may go unnoticed to the un-trained eye is the fact that although it may be like comparing apples to oranges, this most recent order (600 units) is actually bigger than NIHK's previously stated, largest-ever remote disconnect order (500 units). Although I do not have any price point information, the sheer size of the initial order, coupled with the fact that NIHK has developed a stellar reputation for attracting, larger, repeat orders, have me very optimistic regarding the implications of this deal. On an even more positive note, management stated today that the product has applications in many industries outside of photo enforcement.

In the midst of my fishing for relevant information on the M2M industry, I first stumbled upon some very impressive analyst forecasts. As I scrolled down the Article however, realized that the first company name attached to the document was none other than Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK).

Given today's extremely uncertain economic climate, investors are paying closer attention to where they put their money than ever before. As inflation hits a 17- year high and everyday items such as gasoline, milk, and even beer chip away at a growing percentage of our paychecks, the search is on for stocks that will pull their weight in the New Year.

This year will have many opportunities fighting for their chance to decorate your stock ticker, but with the outlook for 2008 far more uncertain than that of 1998, it is important to do your research. This time of year, the consumer shifts focus financially and we should see some changes in the market.

Where, Oh Where, Do Your Dollars Go?

Already looking to be well-poised to perform in 2008 is Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) which we have been tracking for the better part of two years. Subscribers likely know more about NIHK than they want or need to but knowing your animal is vital when every investing dollar affects the bottom line more than ever.

Now boasting a pair of high-potential business segments rooted in two burgeoning markets M2M (machine-to-machine) and IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) - NIHK has positioned itself to cash in on a pair of major trends that should hold steady despite the ongoing economic slowdown. Haven't you heard? IPTV is the new satellite.

Nighthawk is Moving with the Market

With products and services that capitalize on both the world's need to conserve energy and the next step in the video signal revolution, Nighthawk has built a very solid business over the past few years. Among recent successes, NIHK has recently announced its best quarter in 4 years, the largest remote disconnect order in corporate history, and initial shipments from the newly-acquired IPTV set-top box business. So, clearly measurable progress is being made from an operational standpoint.

Today's news is excellent because it quite accurately exhibits Nighthawk's ability to turn first-time customers into long-term business partners. Nebraska Public Power District ("NPPD") has been working with NIHK for more than three years in effort to expand their remote disconnect initiative, just like many other energy-related utilities. With the technology age churning out revolutionary products seemingly daily, long standing customers in an industry like NIHK's is a testament, not only to their caliber of product, but to their staying power in the marketplace.

Make a Client vs. Keep a Client

If you're not seeing the trend here, check back through NIHK's string of press throughout '07. It's chock full of news regarding orders and more importantly re-orders from the likes of Verizon Wireless as well as numerous utilities throughout the country including El Paso Electric, Southwest Arkansas Electric Cooperative, and Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power Company.

Nighthawk's ability to generate first-time and repeat business in such a rapid fashion has greatly accelerated its growth rate to date. This is evidenced by management stating that in Q3 was their best in 4 years and also that during the quarter they sold and produced more CEO700 whole house disconnect devices than in any quarter in its history. Please remember that this best quarter was without any IPTV sales (no shipments until Q4), which are now starting to provide a very nice boost to the already surging growth rate.

IPTV - The Video Revolution

In terms of consumer adoption, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), viewed by many as the next step in the video revolution, is an industry set to explode. More specifically, analysts envision the market to house 50 million subscribers by '09 and be worth nearly $40 billion by '10. Although these may be optimistic industry outlooks, NIHK is already shipping set-top boxes to customers in effort to fulfill orders valued at just under $900,000. For a company that logged about that during '06, I like what I'm seeing from this newly acquired venture.

In regards to the M2M space, research firm IDATE forecasts the market to potentially reach $270 billion by 2010. While largely focused in the wonderful world of energy-related utilities, NIHK has sold horizontally through various alliances into applications such as traffic control, exhaust fan control, and many others. Since their products can essentially turn any electrical device on or off remotely, growth in the M2M space should translate into growth for NIHK, particularly as they strive to explore new applications for their products as well as alliances that help increase their brand recognition.

2008 is shaping up to be a year in which emerging small-cap ventures thrive due to their niche positions in resilient markets, while other not-so-lucky ventures fall by the wayside. Luckily, NIHK is strongly positioned in 2 resilient markets. With the stock now teetering on a bottom while showing some strong upwards momentum in recent days as the broader market gets crunched, Nighthawk Systems Inc. should be on your radar screen going forward if it isn't already.

Don't forget, the stock ran up to its 52-week high of $.24 last April on much weaker fundamentals and with nowhere near the growth potential currently being exhibited. So, we could be in for another bull run if growth continues at such a rapid pace.

Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) shares appear to be reaching a bottom after being beat down considerably over the past three months and today’s news could be just what it takes to incite a move upwards.

Now competing in two burgeoning markets - M2M (machine-to-machine) and IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) – NIHK announced an initial order for their landmark CEO700 wireless disconnect units today from Central Hudson Gas & Electric. The new customer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CH ENERGY GRP HLDG (NYSE:CHG), which logged just under $1 billion in 2006 revenues, serves more than 371,000 clients across the state of New York, and trades in the $40.00 range.

One thing that I like very much about today’s release is that NIHK was able to successfully customize their remote disconnect solution to meet the needs of a major utility. Over roughly the past year, Nighthawk has exhibited their dedication to becoming more of a flexible solutions provider as opposed to a box slinger, as I have mentioned previously.

This is great for the company because it helps build their reputation as a value-added partner. In my opinion a key attribute that potential customers, particularly energy-related utilities, are looking for in vendors these days as they delve deeper into the new world of smart metering and remote disconnect technologies.

What would you rather, somebody who hands you a box and tells you “here, use it” or a value added partner that evaluates your specific situation and molds a solution to your problem? It seems like a very simple choice and that electric utilities are increasingly making it in favor of NIHK.

Another thing that I find interesting about today’s release is that the company is gaining a major foothold in New York, a region striving to reduce energy consumption with major support from its government. With Governor Eliot Spitzer calling to reduce state resident’s energy bills through the implementation of smart metering technology, NIHK is positioning itself in a market with very high growth potential for its remote disconnect products.

Driving a 9.3% spike in the US trade deficit during November was a 16.3% increase in its foreign oil bill (US Commerce Department). This incline brings our tab to an all-time high of $34.4 billion. A number which should likely grow over the coming months as oil prices flirt with $100 on a per barrel basis.

On another bleak note, US consumer confidence hit all time low levels, as it is measured by the RBC Cash Index.

With the White House kicking around the idea of tax cuts, analysts believe that US consumers are indeed quite weary of what the near-term holds.

"People are anxious because everything sounds pretty awful these days," said Bill Cheney, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services Group in a recent article issued by the associated press.

You Gotta Be In It To Win It!

While many investors have their hands on the panic button, ready to push it, now is definitely not the time to go hiding under a rock due to the uncertain economical climate we are currently being exposed to. In my opinion, now is the time to dig your heels in and put your money into both defensive investments and those that you feel may be least effected by a recession or at least a struggling economy.

From our small-cap portfolio, Marmion Industries Corp (OTCBB: MMIO), Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK), and a newcomer, Legacy Systems Holding Inc. are all somewhat resistant to economic downturn because they serve markets that will thrive with or without a very stable economy.

NIHK's remote disconnect device business in gaining steam in the utility sector as energy providers look to cut costs and become more efficient.

MMIO, builds and installs HVAC systems for the petrochem industry as well as schools, municipalities, etc. Number one, growth in the petrochem space will continue. Number two, both the industrial and commercial segments must install new age ventilation systems that help conserve energy.

Legacy has developed a potentially breakthrough "green" clean wafer technology that is already gaining widespread recognition in the semiconductor industry.

Just a few ideas for the next few months folks. We'll be interviewing executives from these organizations as well, so please send over any suggested questions that you'd like to have answered and we'll do our best to hook you up.

Have a great weekend!!!

Good morning!

The following release went out this morning an announces that we have received our largest single order for CEO700 whole house remote disconnect devices in our history! Back in May, we received our largest initial order ever from the Town of Smyrna, Delaware, and then in August we received our (then) largest single order from Avista Utilities.

Now the Town of Smyrna has topped that with an order for 500 units. So every few months we have been setting a record for the size of an order of CEO700’s, and I think there is a good chance that this trend will continue in early 2008 as new budget money becomes available. Smyrna has become a very good customer in a very short timeframe.

A new city ordinance goes into effect today that requires many customers and all new apartment/rental developments to install remote disconnect devices. That is GREAT news as I believe this most recent order is just part of a much larger overall need that Smyrna will have, as it is a growing area experiencing some rapid development.

They have told us that, based on their experience so far, they believe they can save substantial dollars using our devices that would otherwise be spent on additional personnel because of their growing customer base and customer service obligations.

This will serve as a fantastic case study for Nighthawk to use, and we certainly hope other municipalities will adopt similar ordinances. A precedent has certainly been set! For a look at a draft of the ordinance, you can go to:

Nighthawk Systems Receives Largest

Remote Disconnect Order in Company History

-- Newly Adopted Ordinance Expected to Spur Additional Orders--

SAN ANTONIO, TX – 12/5/07 – Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (OTC BB: NIHK), a leading provider of intelligent wireless power management and emergency notification solutions, announced today that it has received the largest single order for its CEO700 remote disconnect devices in its history from the Town of Smyrna, Delaware. Smyrna first ordered units from Nighthawk in May of this year, and has recently adopted an ordinance which will require certain customers and any newly constructed rental properties to install remote disconnect collars on meters. This latest order of 500 units represents the third order placed by Smyrna for remote disconnect units in 2007.

The CEO700 gives electric utilities the ability to remotely connect and disconnect power to residential electric meters on a moment’s notice, improving customer service response times and saving the utilities significant time and money compared to the traditional manual method that requires truck rolls and field personnel. By utilizing Nighthawk’s remote disconnect solution, Smyrna can avoid additional personnel costs typically associated with a growing utility customer base without sacrificing customer service.

H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Each successive quarter we’re getting larger orders from customers, which is obviously fantastic. I’m excited that use of our equipment over the past six months has proven to be sufficiently effective to support a new ordinance in Smyrna requiring use of remote disconnect collars. With the delivery of this order, Smyrna will now have in excess of 1,000 devices available for use, and we look forward to providing them with units going forward as their own customer base and service needs continue to grow.”

Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) may be my favorite small-cap pick for 2008. NIHK announced a major milestone today with a contract for the sale of a record number of their “bread and butter” CEO700 product.

With recent news indicating that NIHK is already shipping product to meet more than $800,000 worth of orders for its newly acquired IPTV set-top box business, record sales in from the traditional business have me quite bullish on the company’s future.

Motorola Expects Big Things from IPTV Market

It appears that Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) picked the right market, particularly if IPTV expert Motorola is on point with recent estimates on industry growth.

Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) provided guidance today on rosy 3rd quarter earnings today that saw revenues improve on the $899,000 logged during Q2 and increase nearly 55% over Q3 '06.

Investors embraced the news with open arms as the stock traded up over 11% to .1140 on volume exceeding 5,000,000 shares. With its traditional business making record quarterly growth seem somewhat commonplace recently, adding on the high potential IPTV set-top box biz provides a new level of hope for the company bringing annual revenues into the double digit million range.

For the near to mid-term, the IPTV business may prove to be the icing on the cake for NIHK. With management stating that revenues for the first nine months of 2007 already exceed those of calendar year 2006, I'd say things were chugging along just fine prior to the recent acquisition.

CEO Doug Saathoff states in today's release that the IPTV biz could possibly accelerate near-term revenue growth rates by a multiple of two. If that's the case, the market may have awoken to some extent today and started pricing that potential into shares. Just a thought.
