Technology Research Corporation (NASDAQ NMS/TRCI) makes ground fault-protective devices. They reduce electrical fires, protect equipment, humans, & pets from electrocution, fire, or serious injury. The market is largely untapped. The typical electrical circuit is either fused for 15 amps, or has a circuit breaker that trips if 15 amps is exceeded. 15 amps is 15,000 milliamps (ma). If a person touches a live wire or piece of equipment that is wired incorrectly, or has a short to its frame, he gets a shock. The fuse or circuit breaker will keep a wire in the wall from melting by limiting the flow of electricity to no more than 15,000 ma, but it won't protect you. What most folks don't realize that if 1 ma flows through your finger, you'll feel a slight tingle. A 10 ma shock will make the muscles contract so hard, it may be hard to let go of the wire or equipment frame. A 30 ma shock will make breathing difficult & cause you to lose consciousness. A 50 ma shock will probably kill you. The fuse or circuit breaker won't help until 15,000 ma flows. TRCI's Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, when attached to appliances, extension cords, or plugged into existing outlets will only allow about 4-6 ma to flow before cutting off the power. If you don't have them, by all means get them to protect yourself & your loved ones. TRCI's revenues for Q1 ended 6/30/99 were $3.9 million, with net income $203,825 ($0.04 per share). Management anticipates net income will increase to about $900,000 for the year to end 3/31/2000 ($0.15 to $0.17 per share). In the year to end 3/31/2001, a 30% increase in revenues & net income of about $0.28 per share is the goal.

(Vancouver/TMK.V) operates in the U.S. It is involved as a minority interest holder in several natural gas prospects in the San Joaquin Basin in CA (SJB). Some oil & gas analysts have projected one of the prospects to have reserves of from 4 trillion cubic feet of gas (tcf) to 16 tcf, or the equivalent of 300 million to 1.25 billion barrels of oil. TMK has a 1% working interest in this project, which could be worth something like $5.50 per fully diluted share if it is as successful as some of the other prospects in the SJB. TMK has somewhat larger interests in other prospects in the SJB. I do not usually look at oil & gas exploration ventures, unless they have some special attributes that put them well above the rest of the crowd. In this case, the SJB is close to major natural gas markets, the infrastructure is in place, the political environment is stable, three of the prospects TMK has interests in are already drilling, & the SJB contains seven of the only 14 fields in the U.S. that have produced more than a billion barrels of oil equivalent (examples include Midway Sunset, Elk Hills, Kern River, North Kettleman Dome, & South Belridge). |
TMK also has the right to acquire 100% of the Kathleen Ann Field in TX, which would provide it with a solid, low cost oil reserve base (reserves are about 300,000 barrels), & it owns 50% of the 14-well Big Springs Unit in Nebraska operated by Hilton Petroleum Ltd. & already producing 400 million cu ft of gas per day. Call David E. Castaneda at the company's IR firm, MDC Group, Inc. @ 888-948-0075 or 303-675-0061, fax 303-675-0062, e-mail: trimark@mdcgroup.com, or write 1900 Wazee St., Suite 202, Denver, CO 80202.

Disclaimer: The public companies featured in the Corporate Profiles listed in the "Special Situation" section on the Home Page of www.WallStreetCorner.com are our regular clients. Each such client pays an annual cash fee of $12,000, or alternatively, a monthly cash fee of $495 plus a negotiated number of Form 144 restricted shares for our service. We on rare occasions accept free-trading shares, but we usually hold such shares for the long pull - we do not engage in trading. Such fees are disclosed as part of the Corporate Profile prepared and posted on the particular company involved. The basic coverage provided to such clients primarily includes the preparation of their Corporate Profile, posting it here at WallStreetCorner.com, and the distribution of email alerts to our international database of investors and financial professionals when their Profile is initially posted, and each time their Profile is subsequently updated. We expect our clients to work with us in a team effort by calling us each time they have achieved a significant milestone. We then update their Profile and issue an additional email alert to our totally opt-in email database (as of July 2008, members of that database are from over 96 countries). The email distributions we make are a key element of our service -- those, as well as the updated Corporate Profile are what together are designed to achieve a gradual buildup of new shareholders who generally hold for the long term. If you are an officer at a public company and want the exposure afforded at WallStreetCorner.com, email Larry at up415@aol.com or call him at 843-645-2729. Information displayed by WallStreetCorner in its Corporate Profiles, and in its editorial or other columns, does not constitute an offer to buy, sell, or trade a security of any kind, including stock. Larry Oakley, and/or WallStreetCorner.com, Inc., does not recommend that any person, institution, or other entity make any decisions or form any opinions, etc. based on the information on this site. All visitors to this site are urged to do two things before investing in any stock: (1) Call the company and ask questions -- if there is anything you do not like regarding such call, pass -- our goal is to bring you a selection of what we feel are growth situations with good long-term appreciation potential, but you must accept the responsibility of making your own decisions regarding which situations to invest in -- do not give up that responsibility; and (2) Consult a qualified financial professional before taking any actions in regards to buying, selling, or trading securities (stocks or other forms of equity). Companies covered in Conservative Speculator, a newsletter accessed from WallStreetCorner, or in any of Larry Oakley's other editorial venues ("Opinion," "Stock Pick," "Comment," and "Bold Ventures" columns, and in any other editorial venue to which Larry contributes) do not pay for such editorial coverage; the companies Larry covers editorially have never, do not now, and never will be charged for editorial coverage. The only paid portions of WallStreetCorner.com are the Profiles and email distributions (email distributions are a part of the client's package, but occasionally are paid for separately by non-clients - if a non-client wants to utilize our email distributions, the cost is $2,000 for the first distribution, $1,500 for the second, $1,000 for the third, and $500 for all subsequent distributions made for the same company). On occasion, Larry Oakley shares his opinion regarding a private company or its product or service. Bear in mind that nothing at that special section is an investment possibility. To see that section, click where on the home page it says: "Click here to access our Special Emerging Growth Situations." See the introductory portion of that special section for additional information regarding the material covered there. |
