Tootie Pie Co: We Told You So!
 Since we initiated coverage of Tootie Pie Company Inc. (OTCBB: TOOT) on 5/17/07 with our newsletter entitled " Life is Short - Eat Dessert First!" at a price of $.75 (print on 5/16), the stock has become one of our hottest prospects. Shares surged all the way up to a recent high of $1.15 on July 3rd before settling down in the dollar range. The way we see it, if things continue to progress at this rate from an operational standpoint, $1.50 and eve  n $2.00 are a distinct possibility over the next few months. Although the notoriously slow summer months are upon us, TOOT, one of the best capitalized micro-caps that we have ever seen, has been performing like a champ. Since going public just a few months ago (April), Tootie Pie Co - has raised in excess of $1M in new equity and established relationships with distributors like Sysco and Ben E. Keith that hold the potential to bring the Tootie Pie brand to nationwide success. In case you missed it, we recently conducted an interview with CEO Don Merrill. The audio file is now located on our media page. Take a listen. We think you'll like what you hear. Labels: TOOT, TOOT.ob, Tootie Pie Co., Tootie Pie Company Inc.
Message From Nighthawk Systems CEO
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. The following release went out this morning and announces the third order for PT1000’s from City, Water Light & Power (CWLP) of Springfield , Illinois . CWLP uses a custom version of the PT1000 that we build into an enclosure as a capacitor bank controller. CWLP first ordered these units from us back in 2006 and with that order became one of our largest customers for the entire year. Since then, they’ve ordered twice more from us in 2007. With so many announcements of sales of CEO700’s to various utilities, it might be easy to forget that we have other products that are useful to electric utilities. Going forward, as we enhance our products over the remaining months of 2007, I think you will see Nighthawk products used in various applications by the utilities, broadening our revenue base and further strengthening the relationships we already have with our electric utility customers. Have a great week. Doug Nighthawk Systems Receives Third Order From City Water, Light & Power Of Springfield , Illinois
-- Units are Part of Ongoing Capacitor Bank Control Project --
SAN ANTONIO, TX - 7/30/07 - Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (OTC BB: NIHK), a leading provider of intelligent wireless power management and emergency notification solutions, announced today that it has received a third order from City Water, Light & Power ("CWLP") of Springfield, Illinois for PT1000 logic boards to be used as custom capacitor bank controllers. CWLP was one of Nighthawk’s largest customers in 2006, and placed an initial order for units in the fall of 2006. This recent order follows successful initial implementation of the initial order and a second order from earlier in 2007. CWLP, certified by the American Public Power Association (APPA) with its highest Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) rating, continually looks for ways to improve their system for the residents and businesses they serve.
The PT1000 is a popular choice for integration into a variety of remote control applications due to its onboard ability to decode a wireless message, convert logic level signals and provide for variable control of up to eight individual relays. No separate relay control board is necessary. Customized software for an application makes it an ideal solution for customers looking for easy to use, reliable remote power control. The PT1000 has recently been purchased for remote sign control by departments of transportation, diesel generator control by cellular site operators and control of network components by wireless Internet service providers.
H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated, "I’m very pleased to receive this additional order from CWLP. While the CEO700 continues to be our flagship product for electric utilities, it’s important to note that we have other products that they are utilizing successfully as well. We’re pleased to be an integral part of CWLP’s ongoing cap bank controller program.” Individuals interested in Nighthawk Systems can sign up to receive email alerts by visiting the Company’s website at www.nighthawksystems.com.

More Universal Expansion
 And the progress continues. Announcing a deal today expected to add millions to a steadily improving bottom line, UDS Group, Inc. (OTCPK: UDSG) management plans to bring its location mapping operations in house, utilizing internally developed state of the art technologies. With executives forecasting the move to save a 3 week lead-time and $80K per 100 locations, this move should work wonders for UDSG's bottom line, especially since by management's account, the company is virtually debt free other than daily operating expenses and approximately $50,000 which it looks to repay over the next few months.
What is UDSG?
 Mr. Ryan Coblin, CEO of UDS, commented"We are entering into a time of expansion here at UDS. I tasked our engineers and partners to have this in place right away as we anticipate large nationwide rollouts of our proprietary delivery solution. This is a huge feat, now after the participating locations' delivery area has been approved; it is just a few minute process to literally draw in the delivery area of a participating location. In the past, this process took weeks was expensive and cumbersome."For those of you unfamiliar with UDSG, here is a rundown of their recent activity1. A stock buyback of as many as 10 million shares;2. The recent retirement of 27 million shares;3. The paying back a debt with cash generated through operations making them virtually debt-free; and4. A who's who client list including Subway and 7-Eleven.
Working with the Country's Fastest Growing Private Restaurant
Although Subway and 7-Eleven are likely first to jump out at you when taking a gander at UDSG's growing list of big name clients, don't overlook Salad Creations.
The company is a rapidly emerging, health-centric, quick-service restaurant franchise with 20 current U.S. locations and aspirations to establish 60 by the end of 2007.As U.S. consumers grow increasingly health conscious (as evidenced by Subway's commendable performance over the past decade) Salad Creations could provide a substantial revenue boost for UDSG.
Another Big Move
Today's move should have a positive impact on margins and increase UDSG's operational efficiency. Management must believe as much, they did recently announce a stock buyback a few weeks ago of as many as 10 million shares and have also recently retired 27 million shares or 12% outstanding capital stock by paying back a debt with cash generated through operations. If the company thinks that buying back shares at current levels is a wise venture, shouldn't we? These bold moves should be viewed very positively by current and prospective shareholders. Weigh your risks and rewards here closely. A dime now could look a lot better come earnings time, particularly with $30M already logged and cash flow positive days a trend expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

ATSX: Conquering the Mexico Market
 Remember when long distance calls were 25 cents a minute? Hail to the technology age where phone calls are clearer than they have ever been, cheaper than they have ever been and apparently far more efficient than I ever knew. (And yet my cell phone does not even work from my own home - how is that possible?) Regardless of the qualms with my cell phone service, I still find it quite incredible how the world communicates seamlessly and more efficiently every day. And the new thing is still not satellite ( hopefully that is next) but broadband phone service. And boy do I have the company for you to sink your teeth into.  Gracing our pages today is not only an undervalued provider of the aforementioned services but also a technology company that stands to capitalize on the ongoing de-monopolization of the Latin American communications industry while providing some very exciting investor returns in the often-slow summertime months. Boasting 11 consecutive quarters of record revenue growth, 4 consecutive quarters of positive cash flow from operations in addition to 2 consecutive quarters of earnings per share, ATSI Communications (OTCBB: ATSX) is developing a strong competitive position in the surging international VoIP market.
Announcing today that annual revenues have already surpassed $30,000,000 for FY2007, up more than 100% from the $14.7M logged in '06. With more focus on bottom line expansion than top line growth, ATSX is capitalizing on a number of extremely positive trends including: increased international trade, international travel, immigration, and overall ramped up international communications traffic.
To give you a brief background. . . ATSX's Digerati Networks, Inc. subsidiary is a well-entrenched provider of International Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. It operates its own network that now services emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Currently, the main focus is on Mexico, the world's top producer of voice traffic. ATSX also owns a minority (49%) interest of a subsidiary in Mexico, ATSI Communications, S.A. de C.V., which operates under a 30-year government issued telecommunications license similar to the license owned by AT&T's subsidiary in Mexico. This contract has been in place since 1998 and gives the entity the right to install and operate a public network. I'm not sure there's a bigger competitive roadblock possible for potential market entrants.
Have we lost you?
 Since we may not all be fully versed here, let's expand for a minute on some of this relatively new tech jargon. According to Wikipedia - Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP, IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network. As evidenced in recent years, the communications industry is in the midst of a paradigm shift from traditional circuit switch networks to Internet transmission of global voice communication data. While traditional circuit-switch systems incur unnecessary costs on a per call basis because valuable network resources must be dedicated whether parties are actually speaking, data networks such as VoIP break down voice transmissions into, small, individually addressed data packages or "packets" that are routed independently and do not waste bandwidth when no transmission occurs, therefore allowing for the network to carry more calls with the same bandwidth. In response to this technical innovation, communications carriers worldwide are scurrying to provide service.
On a very positive note for ATSX, the company's current infrastructure can be maintained with very little overhead. Since Internet technology is much more efficient and routing/transporting calls online can be done at a fraction of the cost of traditional telephone communication, ATSX is not subject to direct payment for relaying calls, rather buying large high quality "pipes" into the world wide web that are billed by bandwidth rather than usage.
For those of you wondering, here's how it all works: The telecom carriers of the world are fully cognizant of the growing demand for the transmission of international voice traffic and need efficient VoIP networks to optimally support the process. The only problem is that many of these suppliers lack what it takes to meet this rising demand.
"In its VoIP operations, Digerati receives voice traffic from originating carriers who are interconnected to its network via the Internet and routes that traffic over the Internet to local service providers and carriers in the destination countries with whom the Company has agreements or partnerships to manage the completion of the call. Digerati's global VoIP service enables carriers and other communications service providers to outsource international voice and fax traffic." (ATSX annual filing) This is where ATSX has grown its revenues from $1.6M in '04 to already $30M thus far in 2007. The company's key competitive advantages lies in its holding of proper licenses, network redundancy, favorable termination agreements, and the presence of an optimal business infrastructure and relationships in some very lucrative markets - particularly Mexico. While the market is flooded with "rip off" services, mainly of low communication quality that simply "hacks" in to existing pipes, and also controlled to some extend by major carriers, ATSX has been able to gain a solid foothold by building a brand associated with value and quality. According to the company. . . Digerati's market for international voice traffic is growing 11% per year and was expected to reach 291 billion minutes of use ("MOU") in 2006. ATSX also states that International VoIP traffic is growing faster than traditional circuit-switched traffic, accounting for 16% or 41 billion minutes of all international voice minutes in 2005. All This - Undervalued  In terms of valuation, there is a strong argument for a much higher share price than current levels - by as much as 2X - 4X. For the sake of discussion, let's look at the 2X argument. Applying a conservative P/S multiple of .77 (based on IBAS: NASDAQ) on our trailing 12 month revenue of $27 million, market cap would be approximately $21 million. With $37 million shares outstanding (only overhang is management and board stock options / no warrants) this would equate to roughly $0.56 per share or a 133% premium to today's levels.
We think the facts and trends here speak for themselves here. When it comes to communication, opportunity is stronger in regions lacking infrastructure. As ASTX builds a name for themselves in one of the largest (and most needing) communication markets, we think we will see much greater things to come from this company - and some pretty nice returns for shareholders. .

STWG Trading on Enormous Volume
 Already trading on relatively enormous volume of 1,250,000 shares as of 11:12 ET, S2C Global Systems Inc. (OTCBB: STWG) systems has garnered a great deal of investor interest on news that it has significantly expanded its immediate addressable opportunity with the pursuance of business relationships in the European Bottled Water Market.
On top of the North American bottled water market, expected to be worth as much as $16B by the end of '07 and nearly $20B by 2010, STWG is now building valuable inroads into the E$1.2B Western European bottled water market via signing of a Letter of Intent for a distribution/marketing relationship with GB Support Services of Manchester, UK.
In today’s economy, a number of factors are contributing to steadily decreasing margins and fixed unit pricing in the estimated $1.7B 5-gallon segment of the North American bottled water market which is forecasted to reach $16B by the end of 2007. As noted by S2C officials – by its own success –which is reflected by high consumer demand in retail environments - the 5-gallon space has created a need for an optimal distribution solution that gets product to the point of purchase with minimal costs.
The European market, although smaller in size, mimics many of the same characteristics of its North American counterpart, making S2C penetration highly likely.
This mornings near 6% dip on high volume may prove an ideal entry point, with millions of eyes on the stock today, we suggest taking a long, hard look here before sub $.10 levels are in our review mirrors.

Another Quarter of Growth at DineWise
 What is the first thing you look for in a start up company to add to your portfolio? That's right, you want to see the numbers. (If this is not one of the first things you look for, then we still have some teaching to do!) Small cap companies are not just revered for their snazzy ideas or gripping business plan but their growth potential. At the end of the day, we want growth, growth, growth. Bringing to the table just the kind of growth we want, news out of DineWise Inc. (OTCBB: DWIS) this morning proves, once again, why we see so much potential here. In addition to a 5th consecutive quarter of sales growth for DineWise products - preliminary, un-audited reviews point to quarterly and six month (YoY) sales increases of 317% and 428% respectively for the burgeoning brand. The Results Are In
 Second quarter results, as noted in today's release, are expected to bring DineWise related sales to a run rate of close to $3M annualized, although management has stated they are expanding at an exponentially higher rate. In regards to the overall business, DineWise as a whole is expected to log a bit more than $5.5M in 1st half revenues. Not bad for a brand that has not even scratched the surface of its market. In this market, successful businesses improvise. The DineWise brand is currently the company's fastest growing and most profitable leg so like any good improv move, DWIS has transitioned away from a capital intensive business model to a more multi-faceted approach and is now placing sole focus on the growth of the new and highly successful DineWise brand. Way Ahead of the Pack  Since the DineWise brand will the bread and butter going forward, it may make more sense to look to growth statistics tied to brand related sales to gauge the company's future potential rather than overall revenue growth. This will (and is) changing with time, and after looking at industry and competitive growth data, it appears DWIS is up to par, if not outperforming in quarterly (YoY) percentage expansion (again utilizing DineWise branded sales rather than overall revenue growth data). In contrast to DWIS's 5 straight quarters of increased market share, the still veritable competitor, Ediets.com (NasdaqCM:DIET) has seen revenues decline four consecutive quarters ending 3/31/07. Furthermore, industry data provided by Yahoo Finance indicates that the expected Q2 '07 317% quarterly (YoY) sales growth for DineWise products is leaps and bounds above quarterly (YoY) revenue growth experienced by the top dogs of the processed and packaged foods industry for Q1 '07.

Commenting on today's news Thomas McNeill, DineWise VP-CFO stated: "We are very pleased with our success this quarter and substantial momentum of our DineWise products. In just over one year we have achieved sequential sales growth in every quarter and have grown to an annualized DineWise-branded sales run rate of approximately $3 million based upon our recent second quarter results. However, we are growing our brand much greater than this rate". Newsweek - Good Food Delivered  Understanding that many shareholders might never actually use the product of the company they are investing in, it helps to have a reputable source substantiate the quality of it, doesn't it? How about a reputable source like In an article entitled "Good Food, Delivered", DineWise® branded products recently received stellar commendations. They were found to be the only ones that tasted fresh, not frozen. In addition, DineWise® meals were deemed delicious, available in an "enormous variety of meal plans" and, overall, a good value. How's that for a plug? Okay, so there are some positive things being said out there about Dinewise and the quality of its products. But where DWIS really stands to shine is their angle on a future target market - diabetic and prediabetic customers. If you have (or know someone who has) diabetes, you understand how difficult it can be in every day life to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. With a complete line of pre-portioned and sugar balanced meals, DWIS stands to tap this massive and, unfortunately, quickly growing market. And so far they are the first in line. Recently announcing the availability of a complete line of diabetic selections, DWIS effectively opened the door to 60 million new potential customers in the U.S. Already building an well- established presence in the hearts of diabetics across the country for providing solid online resources and a top-notch dining solution based on their specific needs, DineWise is building a competitive roadblock early on that could prove extremely beneficial down the road. As we often say, the proof is in the profit. Revenue growth means one thing - people are buying this product. Okay, two things - people are buying this product and shareholder value is going up. Okay, three things - people are buying this product, shareholder value is going up and DWIS just became an EVEN better investment - especially to us early investors. Labels: DineWise Inc, DWIS

More Huge News From Tootie Pie Co.
  Exhibiting just how popular Tootie Pie's have become, TOOT announced this morning that it has inked its first ever marketing agreement with Ben E. Keith. In case there is some confusion here, yes, BEK has been selling Tootie Pies in record number as of late. Up until now however, from what I understand, we were looking at more of a "relationship' versus "partnership". Although it may not seem like it, the implications of this announcement are ENORMOUS!!! While many food-related products experience a nice surge in sales when the wholesalers (such as BEK) promote the heck out of them during an initial period, many falter and lose their gusto after the initial push and are placed in the back of the warehouse in favor of something new. The exact opposite has occurred here. BEK sees the value in Tootie Pie Co. and is convinced that what we have seen here is just the tip of the iceberg. Commenting on the agreement, Robbie Fish, General Manager of Ben E. Keith San Antonio, commented "Tootie Pies are simply outstanding and we are proud to carry them for our customers. Having the Tootie Pie Company sign this Agreement will enable us to do our part to continue to grow sales in this market." Labels: TOOT, TOOT.ob, Tootie Pie Co., Tootie Pie Company Inc.
EFCR Acquires Producing Oil Field
 EGPI Firecreek Inc. (OTCBB: EFCR) announced a blockbuster deal this morning that is expected by many to facilitate the company's metamorphosis from just another energy industry "prospect" into a burgeoning, high-potential, international energy supplier. Acquiring An Income Stream The agreement to scoop up 100% working interest in The Fant Ranch Unit, in Benjamin TX appears be a home run - particularly for an early stage company that logged $147K in revenues for all of 2006. The property has historically produced 2.7 million barrels of oil (nearly $200M worth by today's standards) and is now churning out an average of 900 to 1400 barrels per month - a figure EFCR hopes to crank up by a multiple of two or three in the near term. Crunching the Numbers
 By our estimates, assuming a per barrel oil price of $68 and that the newly acquired property produces 1150 barrels per month with 17 wells and eventually doubles and then triples production with the addition of 8 supplementary wells (reaching 25) over the near to mid-term: Current production levels could yield incremental revenues of as much as: $938k or approximately 638% more than EFCR logged in all of 2006. Current product levels X2 with 25 wells online could yield incremental revenues of as much as: $1.9M or approximately 1878% more than EFCR logged in all of 2006. Current product levels X2 with 25 wells online could yield incremental revenues of as much as: $4.1M or as much as 2817% more than EFCR logged in all of 2006. What better way to beef up operations and pave the way for a fruitful future is there than to acquire a proven property in one of America's leading and most famous oil producing states? Demand is obviously not going anywhere - and with oil futures hitting 11-month highs recently and crude oil surging up close to 20% this year, a solid domestic investment such as that of EFCR's could prove extremely lucrative and also provide enough capital to finance more acquisitions, both in the U.S. and abroad. Multiple Properties = Multiple Revenue Strea ms
Although the focus of today's news release is on the new property, don't forget, EFCR is developing an increasingly diversified portfolio of prospects in the U.S., as well as globally in areas including the United States, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, and Libya. Beneficial Financing in PlaceRecently closing a 2,000,000, seven year, interest-only debenture - EFCR has positioned itself to pursue acquisitions of income producing oil and gas properties with minimal overhead. This is great for the company and investors alike because rather than depending on risky financing, EFCR will be able to facilitate near-term expansion without the increased threat of dilution - a major advantage over many energy ventures traded on the OTC bulletin board. From The Source...Commenting on EFCR's recent progress and Tuesday's release, Dennis Alexander, the Company's Chairman and CFO, stated, " The interests acquired in the Fant Ranch field provide an important base infrastructure for the Company and will begin a new expansion stage for our business model. We believe that the addition of revenues and cash flow from the Fant Ranch field will assist with aligning our strategic plan and goals to build a base of similar properties centralized as building blocks for our future growth."
Furthermore, "As we have consolidated much of our 2004-2006 operations, and reduced many expenses, we will continue to work on the historical efforts developed and pursued by Firecreek Petroleum for various key potential overseas programs in Central Eurasian countries. We will continue our efforts in developing ways and means by strategic alliance, joint venture or the sale of rights and other methods by the Company for the continued expansion and presence of the Company."
At current levels, we feel EFCR warrants a long hard look. At just a fraction of a penny EFCR is well-poised to generate significant revenues over the near to mid-term with even grander possibilities for longer-term investors. Labels: EFCR, EGPI Firecreek, EGPI Firecreek Inc., Firecreek
Biggest News Ever For NIHK?
 We all have to admit, the world of small cap stocks is often one of disappointment. Think about it. An incredibly small percentage of small businesses even survive. But with lots of blood, sweat and tears and finally voila! - that small business is a small cap company, fending for itself in the big bad world market. If being a small business was hard. . . ha! . . . being a small cap company is oh-so much harder and a completely different ball game. But we know that when we do our trading. There is a lot of risk, but so much reward too. Hey, Ebay was small once. Google was too. The companies out there today are all fending for a position in the market and sadly, many of them will fail. But the ones that succeed make millionaires along the way. Nighthawk - Movin and Shakin!"And this has what to do with Nighthawk?", you ask. Let's just say, we have a good feeling about this one - and with good reason. (Gosh, we love being right.) Just when it appeared that things couldn't get much better at Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) - the company wowed the investment community this morning with what could be its biggest news ever. Announcing a collaborative marketing agreement with SkyTel (Revs > $100M in '06), a division of Bell Industries, Inc. (AMEX: BI) - NIHK has aligned itself with a premier telemetry solutions provider boasting unparalleled name recognition in the Utility industry, Nighthawk's bread & butter as of late. First Verizon, and now this? For those of you unfamiliar with the term, telemetry, as defined on Skytel's website is: The ability to measure and transmit data from a remote point. Sounds like a broad and far-reaching application, doesn't it? It is. And these two newfound affiliates are set to cash in on their ability to meet the needs of a very diverse client base - from electric utilities to health care organizations. Although the deals with Verizon Wireless and American Messaging have obviously proven to be worth their weight in gold (they did, in fact, facilitate 2nd quarter revenues that are expected to be the highest in four years), SkyTel essentially opens the floodgates to a virtually infinite flow of telemetry related opportunities for NIHK. Widely recognized as a technologically superior, best-of-breed solutions provider, Skytel combines a robust network with industry leading hardware and superior installation/support services. Just receiving the distinction as a Skytel marketing partner speaks volumes for the quality and efficiency of NIHK's hardware. Nighthawk and SkyTell - Synergy at Work The SkyTel agreement will also lead to Nighthawk's products being implemented into broader systems/solutions. This is very positive when taking into consideration the rapid ongoing/expected growth for telemetry/M2M applications. The smart metering market alone is expected by Energy Insights to grow from $2.3B in '06 to $5.5B by 2011. Since both NIHK and SkyTel have deep roots in the automated meter reading space, collaboration there seems logical in the near future. Widely recognized as the leading solutions provider in the M2M space, SkyTel could help Nighthawk cash in on industry growth and develop an even more entrenched position in the Utility industry, both domestic and abroad. Commenting on the agreement, H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated, "I'm extremely excited about this relationship with SkyTel, which has a long history of providing telemetry services. It gives Nighthawk a reliable, nationwide wireless network on which it can seamlessly offer enhanced, two-way telemetry products and services. We now have the opportunity to enhance our traditional control products with monitoring and data-delivery capabilities, which translates into additional revenue-generating opportunities. I look forward to a long, mutually- beneficial relationship with SkyTel." Bouncing Off Support  As can be seen in the above chart, NIHK's share price, after dipping down into support in the 9 - 8.5 cent range, the stock has once again begun its march north. Monday, NIHK shares traded above resistance at 10 cents and held the gain staying above 10 all day yesterday as well. All this on above recent average daily trading volume. A break above 11 cents (which we expect to see this AM) should easily gives us 12 cents, possibly as high as 13 - 14 cents. A solid breach of the 14 cent area should bring us 17 cents and possibly a new 52 week high (we feel 25 - 30 cents is not an unreasonable longer term target). Currently trading around $0.10, it's highly likely the bounce off support will bring us back up into the $0.12 - $0.14 range and possibly even higher. NIHK is landing contracts right and left and aligning itself with some of the best in the industry. And with quarterly revenues expected to reach a 4 year record high and a deal in hand that holds the potential to take NIHK to the next level, it seems like a slam dunk. But don't take our word for it . . . Labels: Nighthawk, Nighthawk Systems Inc., Skytell
Message From NIHK CEO - Nighthawk Anticipates Highest Revenue Q in 4 Years
Good morning! I hope that everyone had a great weekend. The following release went out Friday after the market closed, and gives some guidance on revenues for the 2nd quarter that just ended June 30th. It was a great quarter – the highest revenue quarter that we’ve had in four years! The only larger quarter in the history of the company was when we received a huge order for rebooting units for AT&T wireless stores that we worked on back in late 2002 and early 2003. As the release states, the majority of the growth has come from sales of our CEO700 units to electric utilities. The early stages of an expanding rep network, coupled with sales to existing customers, have led to the surge in revenues, and I think we are just getting started. We have not yet had an official release of our UtilityWebConnect software, but have begun some initial test marketing on it. We have been working for about six months with El Paso Electric, one of our largest utility customers, on refining the functionality of the software. It is fully operational and being utilized by El Paso today for remote connect and disconnect of power. They have over 600 devices in the system, which allows them to ‘point and click’ to perform connects and disconnects, and the softward allows them to run different reports for their own internal use. We are now establishing a user-friendly interface on top of the existing system which will give our customers a ‘dashboard’ that can be easily understood and utilized to perform the necessary functions. Once this piece is in place this quarter, we will begin marketing the software and associated services heavily to both new and existing customers. This should provide additional revenues to Nighthawk, and make it easier for our customers to use more units. More units means more revenues. As we continue to move forward, we’ll add additional functionality to our products that will make them even more valuable to our customers. I look forward to sharing those developments, and the strategy behind doing so, as we move forward over the next few weeks. The opportunities that we have in the electric utility marketplace are so great, that I think you will see a heavy concentration of effort and sales in this area as opposed to other markets over the near term. The opportunities and volumes are there, and I believe focus in this area will provide the quickest path to positive cash flows for the Company. Have a great week! Doug H. Douglas Saathoff Chief Executive Officer Nighthawk Systems, Inc.
Nighthawk Systems Provides Guidance on Second Quarter 2007 Results
--Largest Revenue Quarter in Four Years--SAN ANTONIO, TX - 7/13/07 - Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK), a leading provider of intelligent wireless power management and emergency notification solutions, today discussed financial results expected to be included in the filing next month of its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Boosted by strong sales to electric utility customers, the Company expects to report its highest quarterly revenue results in four years, with revenues increasing more than 50% over the first quarter of 2007 and approximately 35% over the same quarter in 2006. These improved results were largely driven by increased sales and shipments of Nighthawk’s CEO700 whole house disconnect units to electric utility customers, which reached an all-time high for a fiscal quarter. More than 75% of revenues for the quarter were generated by sales to electric utility customers. The Company’s CEO700 allows electric utilities to connect and disconnect power to a customer by sending a wireless message to the meter-based unit, thereby avoiding the time and expense historically associated with dispatching a truck and personnel to the site to manually perform the task. H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk’s CEO commented, “I’m very, very pleased with the revenue results from the second quarter of this year, and very encouraged by the size and frequency of the orders that we are receiving from the electric utility market. The high costs associated with manual connect and disconnect methods is not going away, and cannot be ignored as utilities seek ways to cut costs without sacrificing levels of service to their customers. I’m optimistic about the near term opportunities that we can generate with the introduction of our hosted software solution that will make it even easier for our customers to manage and utilize their Nighthawk devices. We have built a solid track record with the CEO700, and I believe that planned enhancements to the product, combined with the hosted software interface, will even more firmly establish Nighthawk Systems as the wireless solutions provider of choice for utility automation needs.”About Nighthawk Systems, Inc.

Tootie Pie Announces Record Sales
 In the late 70's, two ex-hippies - Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, started up a homemade ice cream parlor in a renovated Burlington, Vermont gas station - the business, better known worldwide as Ben & Jerry's was acquired twelve years later by Unilever for $43.60 per share (2000) after raking in nearly $240M in '99. A lot can happen in a year...It took Ben & Jerry's quite some time to establish a favorable competitive position within the ice cream industry as well as to gain critical mass and attract acceptable buyout offers.  On the other hand, Tootie Pie Company Inc. (OTCBB: TOOT) - in just over one year of operations, is positioning itself for a top 10 competitive spot in addition to near-term growth that dwarves the company's ice-cream counterpart during its first 3 years of operations.
Things are heating up During a stellar first full year of reporting with the SEC, Tootie Pie Co. accomplished a number of key milestones including: 1. Logging significant revenues - $611,495; 2. Establishing a Favorable Market Share Position - Closing in on a top 10 competitive spot in the U.S. frozen pie market; 3. Development of Optimal Distribution Relationships - Sysco, Ben E. Keith & US Foods driving product out of home state of Texas (a very big mkt) and into the national spotlight; 4. Moving out of Start-Up Phase With Zero Financing5. Products Prominently Featured in Key Retail Environments - Toby Keith's, Hilton Hotel; and 6. Award Winning Product Receives Distinction of "Pastry Chef Quality" - First place finish at 2007 APC/Crisco National Pie Championship (Commercial Division) and favored by Hilton Hotel executive chef over pies created by his own salaried pastry chefs. Just as we suspected - the $0.75 - $0.80 range was short-lived for TOOT. Now trading steadily in the dollar range - Tootie Pie Co. made commendable progress last week. While many small-caps were dead in the water, TOOT was giving investors something to cheer about - besides the 4th of July fireworks. Announcing near-record sales for the three months ending 7/30/07 - Tootie Pie Company Inc. proved today that what we saw out of the company in year-one is likely just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to near-record sales, one of TOOT's most valuable distributors, Ben E. Keith, recently placed their largest order ever - a key indication that demand is high and suppliers are very excited about the product. Selling Like Hot Cakes...Err...Pies Today's press release states that Tootie Pie. Co. sold 9,000 pies for the quarter ending June 30 - if we assume that each pie sold for an average price of $40 - this would equate to $360K. If, speculatively, TOOT is able to maintain ZERO revenue growth for the rest of the year, the company would bring in nearly $1.5M in revenues. Going off of data obtained from Information Resources Inc., based on 2005 findings - $1.5M in revenues would place Tootie Pie at the #9 spot in the U.S. frozen pie market. Not bad for a two year old company. As Tootie Pies pop up everywhere from Hilton Hotels to Toby Keith's restaurant, distributors like Ben E. Keith, are facilitating rapid expansion far out of the enormous Texas market. According to news out today, BEK already has 5 sales divisions selling Tootie Pies (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, Albuquerque, NM, and Oklahoma City, OK, and Amarillo, TX divisions also servicing additional markets in Louisiana, New Mexico, Kansas and Missouri.) Commenting on today's news, CEO Don Merrill Stated: " This order is significant, not only in its size, but in that it illustrates how our valued added strategy is growing sales. Our pies provide customers with a superior product, which in turn allows them to differentiate themselves in the marketplace and open new markets."
Market Consolidation - Not So bad.Consolidation is running rampant in the pie industry, an example being Schwan swallowin  g up Mrs. Smiths back in '05. Already establishing a close to top ten competitive position in just one year of operations and showing promise for greatly increased revenues during the current fiscal year - Tootie Pie Company has food distributors and branded suppliers watching closely. We're watching closely too. If you've seen this before, either in the TOOT research report published by Amalfi Research Group, or mentioned previously, I apologize - but this warrants another look: From the report: "Capitalized with approximately $1.3 million in private equity and brought public via the filing of an SB-2 registration with the US Securities Exchange Commission, without relying on reverse mergers - the Company has only one class of common stock held by all shareholders (including management). With a current float of approximately four million shares and utilizing a cash valuation calculation, TOOT could be very attractive, from an acquisition standpoint. Using multiples of between 5X and 10X, and considering the stock on a fully diluted basis, the Company would have $0.40 per share in cash on hand, which would support share prices of between $2.00 and $4.00, utilizing a cash value calculation alone."By the NumbersAfter checking out the Edgarized filings and speaking to a few peers, one key area of concern here is SG&A expenses figure ($746K) for the fiscal year. At first glance, the operating income figure may raise a few red flags. BUT Tootie Pie is coming out of its start-up phase with surging sales and has relied on ZERO financing or financial agreements deemed harmful to future performance AND has cash on hand to fund operations going forward. To start up a company you need capital, and Tootie Pie. Co. has done things the right way. Right now, we are looking at a company with a stock that has seen ramped up volume considerably in recent weeks while prices soar 25% and show promise for much greater gains. To make things even better, Tootie Pie Company is experiencing near record sales and positioning itself to become the Ben & Jerry's of the pie industry. Our last target was right on and right now, it looks like $1.25 and beyond is the next stop.Labels: TOOT, TOOT.ob, Tootie Pie Co., Tootie Pie Company Inc.
Share Buyback and More Summertime Sizzle
 With the summer typically the market’s slowest time of the year, you were probably planning to be on a beach with sand in your toes and a mojito in your hand. But don’t punch out yet. We have some company news that is sure to pique your interest and maybe even pay for that vacation. Making a Splash in the IndustryTapping right into a competitively saturated (no pun intended) $10 billion market, particularly one with the unique dynamics of the water industry - is a very tall task. That is, unless you have developed a revolutionary technology capable of making high distribution costs and eroding margins a thing of the past.
How do you improve on water?  Case in point - S2C Global Systems Inc. (OTCBB: STWG). STWG has technologically perfected a system that automates the delivery of pre-packaged water from supplier to consumer. By automating the entire delivery process and incorporating state of the art technologies including Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID) to optimize efficiencies, "The Aquaduct" eliminates storage and labor expenses while holding the potential to reduce overall distribution costs by 65%. STWG announced plans today to open a mass production facility in Dallas, Texas in order to more efficiently serve customers in Texas and across Southern California (highest bottled water consumption per capita within the US). This is very good sign that management is fully confident in its product, particularly after a very successful initial launch phase. The Aquaduct With stated plans to install thousands of S2C Aquaducts acr  oss America and beyond - it appears that the growth stage is upon us. Commenting on today's news Rod Bartlett President and CEO, S2C Global Systems, Inc stated " Dallas has great strategic value in fulfilling our roll out strategy as it directly ties into the Texas market and has relatively inexpensive logistics costs for California". Mr. Bartlett concluded: "The facilities we are currently looking at can be ramped up to produce between 60-80 S2C Aquaducts per month." What do we see in UDSG?  New to our chalkboard is UDS Group, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: UDSG), a national delivery company that services chains across the country. UDSG's goal is create a simplified order and delivery service by providing a "One Number" service to clients. Regardless of where clients are throughout the country, with one call they can reach an extensive network of departments. In a sometimes intensely complicated industry, this should be a breath of fresh air for many. We like this company for a few of reasons. 1. UDSG is paying off its debt at a rapid pace. To us, this is not only a testament to the strong dedication of the company to its bottom line but also demonstrates quality management and financial organization. (We like a tight run ship, don't we?) 2. With such a quality client base, UDSG stands to increase its reach to include many larger companies in the market for a simple and efficient delivery solution. With a foot in the door at Subway and 7 Eleven, how many bigger fish are on the way? 3. We always see a stock buyback as one of the highest demonstrations of opportunity for shareholders. With UDSG announcing a stock buyback of as many as 10 million shares this morning, this says to us that they are seeing something the public may not. If current stock price levels have created an ideal accumulation opportunity for UDSG itself (especially in these often droughtful summer months), we investors ought to be paying very close attention! 4. In addition to the aforementioned buyback, UDSG recently retired 27 million shares or 12% outstanding capital stock by paying back a debt with cash generated through operations. Theoretically, a 12% reduction in the number of outstanding shares, is equal to a 12% share price increase. Not bad. This does not even take into account the potential affect of a 10 million share buyback in the market. Good food for thought.  With Clients Like These...Now virtually debt-free, UDSG looks to leverage relationships with partners and clients into the development of a service industry solutions powerhouse. The company's clients & partners now include:
Subway: The #2 quick service chain next to McDonald's with nearly 30,000 locations in more than 85 countries (more US locations than McDonald's);
7-Eleven: The world's leading chain of convenience stores;
Salad Creations: Rapidly emerging, health-centric, quick-service restaurant franchise with 20 current U.S. locations and aspirations to establish 60 by the end of 2007; and
DevStudios: One of Canada's 100 fastest growing companies ranked by Profit Magazine and also the winner of the 2004 Microsoft Canadian IMPACT Award.
Two great companies with great news. This summer is turning out to be chalked full of opportunity. Just think, you wanted to be on a beach somewhere with a fruity drink in your hand. Of course, with investments like these you may have to just bite the bullet and buy that vacation home. You’ll probably need the tax deduction soon enough anyway!

Verizon Wireless - Back for More of What NIHK Has to Offer
 Don't be surprised if you see Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) inking deals with a growing list of big name organizations - as well as Verizon Wireless - in the not so distant future.
Once you get your foot in the door with a leading provider like Verizon Wireless, you are definitely rolling with the big dogs!
Verizon comes back for more!
Announcing a third order from Verizon Wireless and the successful implementation of statewide generator automation project in New Jersey today, NIHK has positioned itself at the forefront of what is shaping up to be an energy industry revolution.
If you think about it, Verizon did not get where they are by working with sub par providers or by continuing to order a product that did not perform as it should. You have to give a little credence to NIHK - first for landing Verizon as a client - and second for keeping them!
The Garden State Goes Green
 The project referenced in today's news was centered on compliance with State of New Jersey mandates that prohibit the use of diesel generators of 37kW or greater from being used in non-emergency situations - other than on allotted days.
Since New Jersey is highly likely to be the first but not the last state to impose such legislature, meeting and exceeding Verizon's expectations creates a very favorable initial implementer position for NIHK and also boosts the confidence of one extremely valuable partner. And with Nighthawk as Verizon's premier provider, I don't see how Nighthawk can lose here.
From the source...
Commenting on the project, H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated "I'm extremely pleased that we were able to customize and provide a quick and reliable solution to Verizon Wireless for this project. Over the past six months, we've delivered units that allow them to control hundreds of generators throughout New Jersey from a single centralized location, or from multiple field locations. This gives them the ability ensure that their generators are in working condition, while maintaining compliance with recently adopted state rules governing the use of generators."
I'm not sure if the plan was drawn up like this - or if the chips just all fell into place that way, but Nighthawk sure is succeeding from a marketing/brand awareness standpoint (amongst others). Obviously, the Verizon Wireless relationship is invaluable on many levels and recent deals with DaimlerChrysler turn heads in a major way - but it just may be NIHK's success in "Green Applications" that make Nighthawk a household name..
Just The Facts, Ma'am...
 To get a handle on what the impact of an eco-shift in a state like New Jersey can do, we did a little research. Honestly, this just added to our assertion that NIHK is a keeper.
In the near future, other states will likely take steps, just as New Jersey did, to reduce air pollution. Besides the obvious benefit of boosting air quality, that also means added demand for NIHK products.
Consider these facts (courtesy of Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District):
1. Diesel soot, or diesel particulate, is the number one airborne carcinogen in California (and many other states), and represents the state's most significant toxic air pollution problem.
2. California Air Resources Board estimates that operation of an uncontrolled one-megawatt diesel engine for only 250 hours per year would result in a 50 percent increase in cancer risk to residents within one city block.
3. A typical standby diesel generator produces 25-30 pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx) per megawatt hour of power generated, 50 to 60 times the NOx pollution produced per megawatt hour by the typical mix of California gas-fired power plants. Nitrogen oxides are a smog-forming pollutant
4. The state of California has already imposed regulations on portable smog-causing generators used in a plethora of industries that exceed pollution limits. The next logical step in the progression of CA mandates is increased focus on stationary generators as well as regulation of use in non-emergency situations.
Nighthawk showed up on our radar as a promising company with revolutionary products, strong sales and organized management. However, it has done what so many small companies cannot do - it has tapped the corporate market to put its products in the mainstream. These days however, it not only shows great potential with heavy hitter customers and cutting edge products, but with recent efforts to address environmental concerns, it meets a fast growing demand.
If Nighthawk is able to establish a position as a provider of environmentally beneficial technology offerings and continues to optimally serve highly esteemed clients such as Verizon Wireless and DaimlerChrysler - the potential for future growth is unbounded.

UDHI CEO A Believer, Investors Take Notice
 Would you build a nearly 30,000,000 share, or 50% ownership position in a company that you didn't whole heartedly believe was destined for glory? Neither would Union Dental Holdings Inc. President/CEO Dr. George D. Green! Who would be "in the know" more than the man that started it all? After all, however, the writing may be on the wall here folks. Expanding and Contracting
UDHI did just announce plans to execute a $10 million acquisition that holds the potential to generate annual revenues of $50M within 5 years AND morph the dental industry innovator from a $2M a year "up and comer" into a $12-$15M prototype for success with seemingly unlimited room for growth. In addition to the potential Bellflower acquisition, things have never been better at UDHI. News out today provides credence to this theory as management states the expectation of a 45% revenue increase in Q2 '07 over second quarter '06. This would mark four (4) consecutive quarters of revenue growth, a very positive indication that the company has embarked upon a new era of expansion. Something to Smile AboutIn order to sustain such rapid growth, UDHI must continue to expand its provider network. Not a problem! The company's network, which serves members of some of the country's largest labor unions (CWA, IBEW, UA, AFA-CWA) has ballooned to 1,700 providers in a relatively short period of time and is pegged by management to grow by another 2,000 over the next year or two. Speaking about UDHI's recent performance and outlook going forward, President/CEO Dr. Green stated "Although the accounting for the quarter ending 6/30/2007 has just begun, the indication shows a large growth over the same time period last year. We had a one time income this quarter which created the record revenue. We expect our sales to grow at a significantly positive rate in the coming year as we continue to expand our network of local, regional and national agreements with unions to provide discounted dental services to their members."  It pays to be in the Union...Union Dental, with a network of nearly 1,700 dental providers, would generate annual gains of $5.1M (more than 2X '06 revenue) if it was able collect an average of $3,000 from each dentist client for access to the company's exclusive union patient areas (management outlines that providers pay up to $6,000 per office location). This is with ZERO growth. I'll bet my dollar to your dime that the growth figure we see down the road is nowhere near the ole goose egg, mark my words. As stated in previous editions, the near-term opportunity pool here is exciting at the very least. With their hooks in the Communications Workers of America (CWA), if UDHI is able to double its local union client base over the next few years, bringing adoption rates to approximately 20%. CWA contracts alone would provide access to a market opportunity in excess of $1 billion. This is yet another reason to stock up at a low cost basis. Starting to see what Doc Green is thinking here? Potential in Porcelain ProductionUDHI also has another log on the fire in regards to its competitive advantage in the dental prosthetics arena. This has been mentioned before, but hey, it's likely to bring in some big money - maybe not so far down the road as you'd think. A bit of digging uncovers that the typical Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns range in price from roughly $600 to $900. With the proven ability to manufacture crowns and bridges about 20% - 30% cheaper than anybody out there, I'd say UDHI may have the market cornered here. If they can produce at increasingly high volume and provide relatively the same level of discount, this one operational segment alone could be enough to break the bank in the not so distant future. Since union workers typically receive only $1,500 in annual allowable dental expenditures - a 30% discount pretty much brings any worker in one of UDHI's coverage areas through the door. So what we have here is a rapidly emerging micro-cap venture with more potential revenue streams than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention the fact that UDHI is actually capitalizing on its own opportunities in a very aggressive manner. UDHI's CEO picked up about 3,000,000 shares on 6/27/07. If that is not a testament to how much potential there is here, I don't know what is. Labels: UDHI, UDHI.ob, Union Dental Holdings, Union Dental Holdings Inc.
Things Heat Up At Tootie Pie Co. In Year 1
  Tootie Pie Company Inc.'s fiscal 2007 results are in - the net-net here is that the company grew leaps and bounds during its first year of operations as a public entity. Revenues came in at $611,495 while profit margin tallied $289,444. As with any recently reporting company, particularly one such as Tootie Pie Co., which has only recently opened its doors - progress made securing future revenue streams is more important in many cases than actual revenues derived in year-one of operations (pending the company can operate within its current financial parameters - which TOOT can w/out financing). TOOT has done both to near perfection (sure $10M in revs would have been great but c'mon) This is a win-win for Tootie Pie Co. since they logged relatively significant revenues in Y1 while building a brand in about a year that many in the pie industry have failed to do in the past, even after years and years of trial and ultimately error. Under a mil in sales may not seem like much, but revenues logged by TOOT in year one make it a notable, maybe even | |
Many micro-cap ventures experiencing 5 consecutive quarters of sales growth for their red hot new product line would likely stop and smell the roses during these fine summer months- not the case with DineWise Inc. (OTCBB: DWIS).
