Ikonics Printing Signs of Growth Acceleration

Ikonics Corp. (NASDAQ: IKNX) develops, manufactures and sells light-sensitive liquid coatings and films, and distributes ink jet receptive films for commercial and industrial applications. The Company serves the screen printing & abrasive etching markets internationally. Screen printing products are used by screen printers to create stencil images. Abrasive etching products are used by consumers to create architectural glass, art pieces, and awards.

The BULLS Say...

New Momentum for an Old Company. IKNX is a long established small-cap with measured growth and solid fundamentals. Established in 1952, IKNX has historically focused on screen printing products, but has recently launched new initiatives with the promise of growth acceleration and there are indications that momentum is underway. A year ago, FORTUNE Magazine named IKNX as one of the fastest growing small companies and recent Q2-06 results represented a company record for both sales and earnings. Despite new sales momentum and new rollouts on the horizon, IKNX is trading below sector peer valuations. IKNX is thinly traded, but has slowly inched higher with at least one private investor building a 9% stake this past year. Execution in new markets will be the key for IKNX to graduate from disciplined growth to accelerated growth.

The BEARS Say...

Increased 3rd Quarter Expenses. Q3 is historically strong and investors hope to see more progress and contribution from IKNX's new initiatives, but Q3's net may take a hit from increased Sarbanes-Oxley compliance expenses and extraordinary marketing expenses related to an upcoming trade show exhibit.

About the Small-Cap ClipReport

Most small-cap newsletters just tout stocks. Instead, the ClipReport provides a comprehensive, journalistic view of each day's small-cap action. This nightly, 10-page PDF email consolidates actionable information and analysis covering the world of stocks below a $500 million marketcap threshold. Starting with "Page One," Knobias breaks down one of the week's most interesting topics in the small-cap universe. The remaining 9 pages provide users with each day's top stories, news movers, strong closers, after-hours events, earnings, corporate actions, PIPE deals, Reg SHO stocks and symbol/name changes. The ClipReport is a daily "must-read" for every small- and micro-cap investor.

About the Weekly SPOT

Each week, Knobias scours the small-cap universe to find overlooked companies with sound fundamentals and one or more growth catalyst on the horizon. This search typically features a small-cap stock exhibiting strong growth while undervalued relative to public peers. SPOT selections tend to be "under-priced" due to lack of coverage or a failure for the marketplace to fully understand "the story." SPOT companies must meet the same basic criteria as our Small-Cap ClipReport, i.e. under $500M marketcap...banks, ETFs, funds and utilities are excluded. Furthermore, SPOT selections must be fundamentally sound with growth, profitability (or near) and clear prospects for price appreciation. Knobias is never compensated for SPOT selections, and NO position will be held in SPOT stocks by Knobias, its management or staff while the stock is being highlighted.
