First, I'll recap my original message on April 10th (only 4 months ago), when CNRD.PK was trading at $6.50. And then, I'll update it with the latest earnings and new targets. I think it's important to look back at April's message to see what has changed and to check the amazing growth in just 4 months....So, here is the April 10th message:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Highly profitable company reported excellent earnings today.

Excerpt from this release:
REPORT TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS
The positive changes we began to experience in the latter part of 2005 continued during 2006 as we completed the year with record
revenue, net income, and backlog, and a much improved balance sheet. At the same time our workforce achieved an outstanding
safety record.
Although, between 2002 and the first half of 2005 we experienced a difficult Gulf of Mexico energy marine construction and repair
market, we have seen in 2006 a major increase in projects for other commercial customers as well as an increase in energy projects.
Because much of our repair work comes from the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry, improved conditions in that industry have
positively affected our repair segment. For 2006, 45.5% of total revenue was energy related, 38.5% was other commercial and
16.0% was government. This compares to 22.6% energy, 38.2% other commercial and 39.2% government in 2005.
During 2006, we added $113.1 million of new contracts to our new construction segment, of which $42.3 million was related to the
oil and gas industry and $70.8 million was related to other commercial projects, generally attributable to increased spending for
construction activities, double skin tank barges, and harbor tugs. As a result of this increased activity, margins have improved on
recent new construction contracts. Our backlog as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $84.5 million compared to $35.4
million as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, 63.3% of our vessel construction backlog was from other commercial
contracts, 31.7% was from energy related customers and 5.0% was from government contracts. This compares to backlog at
December 31, 2005 of 38.4% other commercial, 0.0% energy, and 61.6% government.
Our construction projects in progress as of December 31, 2006 consisted of 34 vessels which includes two 124-foot towboats, five
double-skin tank barges, an ST tug, three z-drive tugs, a 200 class liftboat, five 175 class liftboats, a 3300 hp steel towboat, and
sixteen barges ranging in size from 120 feet to 160 feet. Our customers comprise a very diverse group that crosses a wide range of
businesses including the energy sector, dredging, construction, towing, and bunkering markets, as well as the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
During 2006 we delivered 30 vessel construction jobs of various types and sizes which are the most jobs delivered in one year by
our Company. We delivered nine deck barges, an anchor scow, four crane barges, two inland double skin tank barges, four spud
barges, three double skin tank barges, three landing barges, a fish stocking vessel, an aluminum fire and patrol boat, and two inland
tow boats.
During 2006, revenue increased 88.4% to $121.8 million from $64.7 million in 2005. The increase in revenue for the current year is
primarily a result of the overall increase in production hours. Vessel construction hours increased 73.0% compared to 2005, while
repair and conversion hours increased 125.2% compared to 2005.
We reported net income of $5.9 million and net income per diluted share of $0.81 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to net income of $111,000 and income per diluted share of $0.02 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase in net income
is primarily the result of a very strong market for our repair services.
We revised our loan agreement and extended our maturity date to 2011 and increased our line of credit to $10 million. We reduced
our total loan balance from $18.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $10.2 million at December 31, 2006 while increasing our net
working capital from $6.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $7.6 million at December 31, 2006.
Our Company is very different today compared to a few years ago. We have a more diversified customer and product mix. We’ve
expanded our capacity with the investments that we’ve made and we’ve grown our workforce and management in order to handle
the additional production levels. With an improved marine environment, the strong support of our loyal employees, customers and
suppliers, our record new construction backlog and stronger financial condition, we are optimistic about our continuing ability to
increase gross profit and the bottom line in 2007, leading to an increase in shareholder value.
To sum it all up:
Net income for 2006 is 0.81 compared to 0.02 for 2005 (5.9 mil vs 111k)
Revenues increased 88.4% to $121.8 million from $64.7 million in 2005
EPS progression through 2006 is as following:
.13, .17, .19 and .32 for Q1 through Q4, respectively. Earnings are fully taxed and diluted.
Backlog up to $85M versus $35M yoy. And that's for new constructions...
Doesn't even include repair revenues (which account for 40% of total revenues)
Could be at least $1.2 in earnings for 2007 for $7 dollar stock....
At highly convservative PE of 10, this should be at least $12 dollar stock....
Add to this, low O/S and float (momo)
O/S is only 7.28 mil
Last, but not least, it's a hurricane stock with potentially big hurricane season on the way.
Profile:
Conrad Industries, Inc. engages in the construction, conversion, and repair of various marine vessels for commercial and governmental customers in the United States. It also engages in the fabrication of modular components of offshore drilling rigs; and floating, production, storage, and offloading vessels. The company constructs various steel and aluminum marine vessels, including large and small deck cargo barges, single and double hull tank barges, lift boats, push boats, towboats, offshore tugboats, and offshore supply vessels. Its conversion and repair of steel and aluminum marine vessels consist of lengthening the mid-bodies of vessels, modifying vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity, and other modifications to increase the cargo carrying capacity or functionality of a vessel. The company operates four shipyards in South Louisiana and Texas with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Conrad Industries was founded in 1948 and is based in Morgan City, Louisiana.
They used to be listed on Nasdaq, but were not profitable, and chose to delist in 2005 due to Sarbanes Oxley expenses.....
Now, that they are highly profitable, they may try Nasdaq again, in my opinion.
Once again - highly profitable, low float, low O/S, hurricane momo, unknown play...just repoted huge earnings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, here is an update as of August 6th, 2007:
The stock is now up approximately 170% since original recommendation in April.
Late Thusday of last week, they reported huge earnings:
http://www.pinksheets.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById?id=11384
They reported $0.63 dilluted ($0.64 basic) on revenues of $41.3 million.
O/S is only 7.3 mil, float is only 3.6 mil.
Here is the new progression of earnings showing amazing sequential growth:
Sequential growth:
Q1 2006 = $0.13
Q2 2006 = $0.17
Q3 2006 = $0.19
Q4 2006 = $0.32
Q1 2007 = $0.45
Q2 2007 = $0.63
Earnings in last 2 quarters exceed total 2006 earnings by ~50%.....At this rate, they may get well above $2.20 in earnings in 2007...
Key points from the latest earnings release:
Backlog was $82.4 million at June 30, 2007 as compared to $84.5 million at December 31, 2006 and $70.8 million at June 30, 2006. Subsequently, we signed contracts with various customers for a total of $13.7 million, including options. Additionally, we were awarded a contract with a contract price of $22.5 million by the Texas
Department of Transportation which we expect to sign during August 2007 for the construction of a 264’x66’x15’ passenger/vehicle ferry scheduled for delivery during 2009.
This means they have $82.4 mil + another $36.2 mil in backlog.
Even at highly conservative PE of 15 given this kind of growth, this is a $33 stock....
Food for thought:
Check the competitor:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=tod -> Todd Shipyards Corp. (NYSE:TOD)
Only $0.57 reported for 2006 on $125.5 mil in revenues in Todd Shipyards (TOD) and the stock is trading at $22 at PE of 38.

Cobalis (CLSC.OB) update
Cobalis kept on delaying results and then came out with a statement on May 31st that they will need to perform an audit on the results:
The Company said its concerns included the possibility of incorrect data entry in patient-symptom diaries. Given inconsistencies it has identified, the Company does not know at this time which data are correct, and it said it must review source documents and conduct other quality control measures as part of its audit. Cobalis said the audit will also include an examination of the consistency of data collection methods in both studies
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070531/20070531006102.html?.v=1
Due to that, it's extremely risky investment, as this approval was their only hope in my opinion. I don't recommend staying in this stock unless you are willing to risk everything.

Yucheng Technologies (YTEC) Update
In just 2 days (June 13th), Yucheng Technologies will no longer have warrants. June 13th is the last day to exercise these warrants or they will be extinguished.
Within 10 days (perhaps around June 20th) we should see filing for 2006 annual results, as well as Q1/2007 results along with the conference call. Current estimate for this quarter is 0.06 (as estimated by Maxim Group analysts). I believe we should see steady increase in pps following the warrants redemption. It will be interesting to see how many warrants were exercised and the total amount the company received based on that.

Cobalis Corp (CLSC.OB) - speculative
Speculative buy - Cobalis Corp (CLSC.OB)...This is under radar biotech company expects to report Top-Line Results for twin pivotal Phase III Clinical Trials of PreHistin(TM) in seasonal allergic rhinitis.
The twin trials are completed, and all of the data from the 23 sites has been collected and is being audited.
In March the company announced that it has completed the locking of the database for its pivotal twin Phase III Clinical Trials of PreHistin(TM) in seasonal allergic rhinitis. An independent contract research organization (CRO) will now begin the process of implementing the statistical analysis plan designed to analyze the data from the pivotal trials.
"We are pleased to have reached this milestone in our PreHistin trials and look forward to reporting top-line results over the next month," commented Dr. Gerald J. Yakatan, Chief Executive Officer for Cobalis Corp. "These twin trials represent two of the largest clinical trials conducted utilizing this novel anti-allergy approach. Our goal is to be able to offer a new, over-the-counter anti-allergy treatment option for allergy sufferers that goes beyond currently available remedies."
The 1,551-patient pivotal Phase III trials investigated the efficacy and safety of treatment with Cobalis' PreHistin on moderate to moderately severe seasonal ragweed allergy patients. The twin trials were designed to support regulatory approval in the United States and key global markets. The studies' primary endpoint is the average improvement in total nasal symptom score (TNSS) in weeks four, five and six of treatment. To observe duration of effect after treatment, patients maintained diaries for symptomology over the final four weeks of the ten-week study.
Very good presentation in November of 2006 here to give you more details on the company:
http://www.wsw.com/webcast/rrshq10/clsc.ob/
If the results are good, I expect the share price to at least double from these levels. ($1 - $1.05 currently)

Oncology Med (ONCO.PK)
Highly speculative stock - Oncology Med Inc.(ONCO.PK):
Here is the recent news:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=onco.pk
May be interesting here at 83 cents...
Oncology Med, Inc. which was formerly known as Vianet Technology Group has changed it name and will now go trade under the symbol ``ONCO''.
Oncology Med's mission is to be a pioneer in the advancement of the treatment of cancers. The Company plans on growing its business through acquisitions in addition to the organic growth of its first acquisition Comprehensive Physics & Regulatory Services, which will now conduct business under the trade name of Oncology Med.
CPRS is a 12-year-old firm that provides specialized internet-based treatment plans and medical physics consulting services for radiation centers. Oncology Med's acquisition of CPRS will provide the foundation for the entity to achieve significant revenue growth. Management believes that the acquisition/merger will provide CPRS with greater access to capital with which it intends to commence enhanced sales and marketing efforts which it believes will lead to greater revenues and profits.
As part of the reorganization, Dr. William Walker, President of CPRS, has become chairman of Oncology Med, Inc. Dr. Walker stated, ``I am very excited that we are a publicly traded company and are able to take advantage of the capital markets to fuel our exciting growth. We believe that with the future hiring of sales personnel our revenue opportunities will increase. Additionally we feel we are going to be able to accomplish potential acquisitions while becoming a vertically integrated oncology company.''
Currently, there are over 2,000 radiation centers in the country providing radiation services to cancer patients. Depending on the type of cancer and condition of a patient, on average, receives approximately 26 treatments during the course of radiation therapy. During the course of treatment, patient records and actual care have to be closely monitored and generally require approximately 5 patient reviews made by a qualified medical physicist. These patient or chart reviews assure proper patient care. In many radiation centers, lack of a full time available physicist can result in less than optimal patient reviews.
CPRS addresses these needs by providing a full range of patient specific radiation service treatment plans in addition to online treatment plans. This solves two key barriers of entry for radiation centers seeking to offer new technology by making available the most advanced treatment methodology to smaller radiation centers without substantial investment for equipment and staff. The Company, therefore, offers the possibility to enable radiation centers to increase revenues and profits while lowering expenses and improving quality.
CPRS operates its remote treatment planning services out of its facility located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The center houses computer stations with treatment planning software and equipment that receives and sends required patient data and images in accordance with healthcare data security standards. The center is staffed and currently equipped to service substantial additional business volume. Medical Physics services and specialty consulting are also provided at client sites.
THE MARKET -- The radiation oncology market is growing worldwide. Internationally the market is in its infancy. In the U.S. over 5,000,000 Americans have cancer. There are 850,000 new cancer cases diagnosed annually with 60% of all cancer patients being treated by radiation therapy. Radiation centers treat an average of 650 patients annually and smaller radiation centers generate revenues of up to $ 5,000,000 or more.
Dr. Walker is a professional medical physicist with 35 years of experience in clinical practice, research and program management. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the Virginia Military Institute, an M.S. in Radiation Biophysics from the University of Kansas and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida in Environmental Engineering (Medical Physics). He is certified by the American Board of Health Physics, licensed by the State of Florida as a Therapeutic Radiological Physicist and is a registered Professional Engineer. Dr. Walker headed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's medical and academic licensing program and later was the Radiation Safety Officer and Radiation Safety Program Director for the National Institute of Health. He is the author of numerous papers on medical and health physics and currently serves as an officer and member of the Board of Directors of Advanced Oncology Network, Inc. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of Abundant Blessings (Jamaica) Cancer Treatment Centre, Ltd. and Universal Healthcare Management Systems.

REPORT TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS
The positive changes we began to experience in the latter part of 2005 continued during 2006 as we completed the year with record
revenue, net income, and backlog, and a much improved balance sheet. At the same time our workforce achieved an outstanding
safety record.
Although, between 2002 and the first half of 2005 we experienced a difficult Gulf of Mexico energy marine construction and repair
market, we have seen in 2006 a major increase in projects for other commercial customers as well as an increase in energy projects.
Because much of our repair work comes from the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry, improved conditions in that industry have
positively affected our repair segment. For 2006, 45.5% of total revenue was energy related, 38.5% was other commercial and
16.0% was government. This compares to 22.6% energy, 38.2% other commercial and 39.2% government in 2005.
During 2006, we added $113.1 million of new contracts to our new construction segment, of which $42.3 million was related to the
oil and gas industry and $70.8 million was related to other commercial projects, generally attributable to increased spending for
construction activities, double skin tank barges, and harbor tugs. As a result of this increased activity, margins have improved on
recent new construction contracts. Our backlog as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $84.5 million compared to $35.4
million as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, 63.3% of our vessel construction backlog was from other commercial
contracts, 31.7% was from energy related customers and 5.0% was from government contracts. This compares to backlog at
December 31, 2005 of 38.4% other commercial, 0.0% energy, and 61.6% government.
Our construction projects in progress as of December 31, 2006 consisted of 34 vessels which includes two 124-foot towboats, five
double-skin tank barges, an ST tug, three z-drive tugs, a 200 class liftboat, five 175 class liftboats, a 3300 hp steel towboat, and
sixteen barges ranging in size from 120 feet to 160 feet. Our customers comprise a very diverse group that crosses a wide range of
businesses including the energy sector, dredging, construction, towing, and bunkering markets, as well as the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
During 2006 we delivered 30 vessel construction jobs of various types and sizes which are the most jobs delivered in one year by
our Company. We delivered nine deck barges, an anchor scow, four crane barges, two inland double skin tank barges, four spud
barges, three double skin tank barges, three landing barges, a fish stocking vessel, an aluminum fire and patrol boat, and two inland
tow boats.
During 2006, revenue increased 88.4% to $121.8 million from $64.7 million in 2005. The increase in revenue for the current year is
primarily a result of the overall increase in production hours. Vessel construction hours increased 73.0% compared to 2005, while
repair and conversion hours increased 125.2% compared to 2005.
We reported net income of $5.9 million and net income per diluted share of $0.81 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to net income of $111,000 and income per diluted share of $0.02 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase in net income
is primarily the result of a very strong market for our repair services.
We revised our loan agreement and extended our maturity date to 2011 and increased our line of credit to $10 million. We reduced
our total loan balance from $18.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $10.2 million at December 31, 2006 while increasing our net
working capital from $6.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $7.6 million at December 31, 2006.
Our Company is very different today compared to a few years ago. We have a more diversified customer and product mix. We’ve
expanded our capacity with the investments that we’ve made and we’ve grown our workforce and management in order to handle
the additional production levels. With an improved marine environment, the strong support of our loyal employees, customers and
suppliers, our record new construction backlog and stronger financial condition, we are optimistic about our continuing ability to
increase gross profit and the bottom line in 2007, leading to an increase in shareholder value.
To sum it all up:
Net income for 2006 is 0.81 compared to 0.02 for 2005 (5.9 mil vs 111k)
Revenues increased 88.4% to $121.8 million from $64.7 million in 2005
EPS progression through 2006 is as following:
.13, .17, .19 and .32 for Q1 through Q4, respectively. Earnings are fully taxed and diluted.
Backlog up to $85M versus $35M yoy. And that's for new constructions...
Doesn't even include repair revenues (which account for 40% of total revenues)
Could be at least $1.2 in earnings for 2007 for $7 dollar stock....
At highly convservative PE of 10, this should be at least $12 dollar stock....
Add to this, low O/S and float (momo)
O/S is only 7.28 mil
Last, but not least, it's a hurricane stock with potentially big hurricane season on the way.
Profile:
Conrad Industries, Inc. engages in the construction, conversion, and repair of various marine vessels for commercial and governmental customers in the United States. It also engages in the fabrication of modular components of offshore drilling rigs; and floating, production, storage, and offloading vessels. The company constructs various steel and aluminum marine vessels, including large and small deck cargo barges, single and double hull tank barges, lift boats, push boats, towboats, offshore tugboats, and offshore supply vessels. Its conversion and repair of steel and aluminum marine vessels consist of lengthening the mid-bodies of vessels, modifying vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity, and other modifications to increase the cargo carrying capacity or functionality of a vessel. The company operates four shipyards in South Louisiana and Texas with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Conrad Industries was founded in 1948 and is based in Morgan City, Louisiana.
They used to be listed on Nasdaq, but were not profitable, and chose to delist in 2005 due to Sarbanes Oxley expenses.....
Now, that they are highly profitable, they may try Nasdaq again, in my opinion.
Once again - highly profitable, low float, low O/S, hurricane momo, unknown play...just repoted huge earnings.

Yucheng Technologies (YTEC)
Today I'd like to summarize prevous DD on Yucheng Technologies - a company with great potential - (now trading on Nasdaq as YTEC with warrants YTECW)
It's a new Chinese entity combined from a couple of companies purchased by China Unistone and renamed to Yucheng Technologies.
Here is a little on the deal: China Unistone was organized to effect a business combination with an operating business that is based in China and that has significant growth potential. After the consummation of the stock purchase and redomestication merger, the operating companies of Yucheng will be Sihitech, and its subsidiaries, and e-Channels, all of which are located in China. Together these companies will provide IT services and system integration, web banking, and electronic multi-channel software and solutions to the Chinese banking industry. These companies, founded in the late 1990's have, collectively, demonstrated significant growth since commencing operations. China Unistone believes that the operating companies have the infrastructure in place to expand their business through cross selling, increase their customer base, and develop new services and products. As a result, China Unistone believes that a business combination with Sihitech and e-Channels will provide China Unistone stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential. The combined company conists of Sihitech and e-Channels companies. Here is something for 2005: In 2005, Sihitech and e-Channels had combined revenues of $25.2 million and total net income of $3.1 million. Post closing, Yucheng will have six operating subsidiaries which include Sihitech, e-Channels, Beijing Sihitech Software, Shanghai Sihitech, Shanghai Sihitech Software and Guangzhou Sihitech. There also will be two representative offices in Fuzhou and Xian. The combined company will have a combined employee staff of approximately 550 employees
