Angeion Corp. (NASDAQ--ANGN)-BUY

ANGN
Valuation-$13.67
Price October 12, 2007-$7.55

We are recommending ANGN for purchase. ANGN is trading at 55% of our valuation, which for a medical equipment maker is very unusual.

Angeion reported sales of $8.9 million in its third quarter ended July 31, 2007, up only 1% from the prior year. Gross margins were 50%., up slightly. Net income was essentially break-even for the quarter. Angeion sales had been benefiting from one large customer that represented $3.3 million in sales in last years quarter compared to about $1 million in the current quarter. Excluding this customer, their sales to other customers increased by 44% year-over-year. Also, net income was burdened by a number of unusual expenses in the latest quarter.

Angeion has only 4.2 million shares outstanding, and its market capitalization is less than one times annual revenue. It has traded from $5.62 to $18.50 over the last 52 weeks. It is unlikely that Q4 revenues will exceed last years ($10.70) million, so there maybe some time to buy this one.

With $1.19 a share in “net” cash (16% of the market cap), 50% margins, making money, we think this is a good bet.

The daily trading volume is 57,000 shares.

We think anything under $7.60 is a good price.
