Mike if you go back and check a previous quarter in which they received a lump sum, you'll see that only a small portion of the royalty lump sum was included in "earnings". That percentage is what their debt agreement defines as "below positive cash flow" from royalty income. If you add up the numbers in this old press release and begin wondering where several million of the dollars went you'll see exactly what I mean. ampex.com It's all academic though...big thing is they have a chance now to wipe out all the debt. Then future royalty income..at least potentially a very large amount...will be free and clear.

This isn't the old Ampex - Things have changed! Guys, Take a look - no back fill, no retrenching - this is the real deal! This isn't your father's Ampex..... We have morphed into a royalty generating MONSTER.... Our blinders must come off so that we can see what other investors see. IMHO - The stock price will never drop below $10.00 again! Future events will keep the momentum going. More deals each and every quarter for the next year or so. Re-listing on the AMEX. Stock split for liquidity. NASDAQ listing then another split to be followed by listing on the BIG BOARD. Go Ampex! Best O'Luck, Dow18K

New territory...maybe...but presplit it's back to the buck...and I cant help but think of some of the biotechs that got nutsy a few years ago...and went from 4 to 70 in a matter of days....oh gee, why did I ever sell my Ampex? I love Ampex...it's been a part of me since 1968...and I've been accused of being a charlatan by some on the old Yahoo board, unfairly because of a frappin' Sacred Halibut... You all remember Mr. Sakai of the Monterey market of course..Well he died... from iNextv internet influenza. The doctors did not know until later just how fatal it was. Streamed himself to death. I used to drive the Bayshshore by the sign. I dont really remember any big Ampex sign...but I did drive by it for years so I suppose it's a subliminal thing. Perhaps that's why I bought in...and then I met all of you. I was hooked. I still have my old Ampex tapes of family with little kid's frog laughs and American Airlines' "Music 'til Dawn" featuring Bobby Hackett's trumpet...They're probably moldy and worthless...and besides those tapes are older than Ed Bramson's pink shirts and all of the mistakes made this decade. I suppose they're worth more than the $140 million debt though. But one mistake was not made. Patents. And look at Ampex now. I guess whoever bought my shares has traded them off to a geneological stream somewhere...and bits and tatters of them remain waiting for some Albatross to scoop them off and and use them for teleological purposes...Jeez! A goofy bird other than an owl forecasting the future of AXC! Remember, AXC went over $7 from $.50...Multiply that by 20. We will all be glued to our stock watch devices.... Those of you still of the mind to be holding...God Bless you! As the whore who used to use her eye socket for immoral purposes used to say.... "I'll keep an eye out for you"....

Tom, If that is true why couldn't 489,000 shares move the price above $20 all day long. It's the most action we've seen all week. It got to 22 in the first half hour, then retrenched and stayed pretty well flat the rest of the day. It was very similar to Wednesday's action when half that many shares changed hands. I think with all the uncertainty still left in this process the market is skittish at these price levels. I got stopped out after after the tepid reaction to the Sanyo settlement. The Sony thing definitely created a lot more excitement but the debt is still at the levels it was at in the old dollar a share days and it won't go away until several other companies agree to pay. And we don't know when and what the legal fees will be on the money we have collected. There's still an awfully big and growing nut to pay and if those payments don't come in soon the momentum players will take their profits and go elsewhere.
