12.Comments.
(1) The average cash generated by electronic segment is not enough to cover corporation cost. It seems very sensitive to revenue level.
(2) The equipment loan increase from $3.8m to $6.9m is very unusual. It is likely a big project is going on. However, there is no release which is strange.
(3)The Real estate segment can be assumed to be not lose in future.
(4)After 10 years of operation, except the $3.1m wrote down, the company's equity down from $18.3m to $14.3m. Shares from 26.9m to 25.5m. So generally the past 10 years didn't made any money at all even excluding the wrote down.
(5)From no debt at Dec. 2000 to Debt $4.5m at Sept .2010.
