Jos. Debono Jewellers Ltd.

Wireless Facilities (nasdaq: WFII)

Wireless facilities is the largest Radio Frequency engineering company in the world. The company operates in through three operating segments: Wireless Network Services, Enterprise Network Services, and Government Network Services. The company had $375.3 Million in sales last year but recent margins have been hurt by an unsuccessful venture into Mexico, indiscriminate hiring, and laxed management.

Still, the company is well positioned to benefit from the continued rolling out of WiMax, defense department technology spending, and security/monitoring digitalization.

The company recently announced the spin-off of the underperforming foreign operations. The assets of those operations were sold at a loss.

Top Tanker (TOPT) is a Greece-based oil tanking company that reported US $324 Mil. revenues in 2005. The company's balance sheet equity was $194.37 Mil. on 2006-09-30, but the company sold two ships, the M/T Topless and M/T Fearless for a book gain in the fourth quarter.

However, the company's market capitalization is $138.44 Mil due to various reasons including:

1) present dry-docking expenses; 2) shareholder lawsuits relating to the sale and leaseback of the company's fleet; 3) an unresolved SEC informal inquiry in the sale/leaseback; 4) and the resignation of an independent auditor.

In Q4 2006 the same day that the auditor resigned, the company announced it would restate prior quarterly financial results so that $50 Mil. recorded as cash could be recorded as restricted cash.

Juan "Johnny" Báez

Born on April 14, 1935, Juan "Johnny" Báez, the most notable survivor of the 1950's-1960's Río Piedras, Puerto Rico Cardinals basketball team, was an active basketball player from 1953 to 1969 in Puerto Rico's Superior Basketball League. A graduate of the University of Puerto Rico High School (UHS), he was the League's Most Valuable Player in 1957, 1963 and 1964, when he reached his career high of 523 points in one season. Before retiring as an active player, he reached the 5,000-point mark. While pursuing a college education in Spain, he also played extensively for the Real Madrid basketball team that won the "Generalísimo" Cup in Spain in the 1960's. Among his top fans was then Prince of Asturias (and current King of Spain) Juan Carlos de Borbón. He represented Puerto Rico in the 1958, 1962 and 1966 Central American and Caribbean Games, made the All Star Team during the 1959 PanAm Games in Chicago and coached many teams after his retirement. He was inducted in the Puerto Rico Sports Hall of Fame.

Although seriously ill, he was able to briefly attend in a wheelchair, along with wife Irma, his son Carlos and daughter Irma, a ceremony held in his honor on January 20, 2007, which attracted San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Jorge Santini, Puerto Rico Senate President Kenneth McClintock, Puerto Rico Olympic Committee President Hector Cardona, PR Sports and Recreation Secretary David Bernier and several top International Basketball Federation (FIBA) officials who traveled to the island for this event in which Puerto Rico's top sports award, the Puerto Rico Olympic Medal of Honor was bestowed upon him.
