FRIDAY, FEB. 10, AFTER 4 PM ET RECORDING ON FOR ENTIRE WEEKEND

Next month’s issue will be dedicated to R. Max Bowser. We invite any and all Buckaroos to send in their thoughts. See the bottom of page 2 for mailing and email addresses.

Will Max Reach 100?.... With real sadness, we have to say the answer is no… Although he had the energy of an Energizer Bunny, all the optimism in the world and a great desire to live and keep publishing The Bowser Report, death caught up with him on January 3rd. But, 95 is not a small accomplishment, nor are the 35 years he devoted to his love of microcap stocks and our Buckaroos. To find out where this came from, you just have to pick up your copy of “Making Dollars with Pennies” and read the chapter on, “If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?”

As John Gay of The Quiet Investor pointed out to me, Dad left an imprint on a lot of people in his life and that certainly includes the many subscribers to our newsletter…43% of which have been with us for 10 years or more. His real belief in the value of low-priced stocks and the Bowser Game Plan came out in every issue he published.

He was more than a wonderful father to me, he has also been a wonderful mentor for the last 30 years of my life. His integrity, his work ethic, his sense of humor, and his generosity have left incredibly hard shoes to fill. But, I thoroughly believe that his most lasting legacy is to continue The Bowser Report and his ideas, on which he spent so much of his waking thoughts. Even in his very brief and painless illness, which happened right after he finished the December issue less than a month ago, he was still concocting projects in his head and thinking ahead to the next issue.

But, he was not just a workaholic. He loved the work he did and was very lucky in that. He also enjoyed people as many of you experienced who had the opportunity to know Dad. He loved jokes and riddles and “interesting tidbits.”

I hope to carry on that tradition as well as keep our subscribers interested and learning about microcap stocks. There will be some changes, as you can see from this issue. We have come into the 21st century, but we aim to keep the same spirit and the same plan to help make you money.

I am very lucky to have as my co-editor, Thomas Rice. He’s an intelligent young man who has been with us for a couple of years in our Research Dept. and who Dad lit a fire under when it comes to microcaps and the financial world…yet another R. Max Bowser legacy.

As Dad said on the final page of Will Max Reach 100?:

“Keep looking forward. Remember, headlights illuminate more than taillights…

May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane. May the hand of a friend always be near you. May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”

He was, quite simply, a remarkable fellow. ***

In keeping with Dad’s idea of looking forward, in this--the first issue of The Bowser Report’s 36th year--Thomas and I would like to mention some of the ideas we are thinking

of for the future:

As some of you might have noticed, up to now, the newsletter has been done on a typewriter, almost exclusively by Dad. This is the first fully-computerized issue. And, it will make it easier for The Bowser Report to become available online,which several of you have asked about. We would like the newsletter to be more interactive with our Buckaroos. To illustrate this, we received an e-mail

from a new Canadian subscriber, Brian Yates, who said he would like to see some type of dividend listing for our Bowser stocks. So, we are going to compile a Bowser Dividend Database in Excel format and make that available.

And, we hope that some of you might want to submit articles on microcaps that will be of universal interest to our other subscribers.

We will also be redesigning our website--www.thebowserreport.com--which we hope to have finished by March or April. It will have many more additional features than the current web site, such as direct links to press releases about our stocks on Pages 4 & 5 and a way to chat about that news and any other topics amongst yourselves.

The most important goal still remains to use the Bowser Game Plan in investing in low-priced stocks, to learn and have fun along the way, carry on the passion of R. Max Bowser. . . . oh, and make money, of course.

Our 2011 Year in Review

The Bowser Report – Page 2 – January 2012

FIVE BOWSER STOCKS UP OR DOWN LAST MONTH AVALON HLDGS UP 34% CVD EQUIP DOWN 25% FIELDPOINT UP 28% BULLION DOWN 17% COVER-ALL TECH UP 24% FLEXIBLE SOL DOWN 16% FEMALE HEALTH UP 16% FOOD TECH DOWN 15% CENTURY CSNO UP 14% GLOBALSCAPE DOWN 15%

JANUARY: Our Company of the Month for January was Accelr8 Technology (AXK), a medical supply company. In the next few months, this security would put investors through a roller-coaster ride—quickly doubling and then falling back to settle around $3.00/share (now below $2). We also noted the turnaround of DGSE Companies (DGSE). The company saw monthly revenue highs and a strong effort on management’s part to put the firm back into a high growth mode. FEBRUARY: Louis D. Marks, Jr., long-time Bowser Report follower and founder of the KISS Investment Club, discussed with us his club, which at that time had assets of $80,000 in 30 Bowser stocks (13 of which had doubled). We also recapped our 2009 investments—which gained 29%. A good friend of the Bowser Report, Wim Sanders, compiled a comparison of the major world indexes, in which the Bowser Microcap Stock Index ranked sixth from the top in 2010 performance, trailing only the Russell 2000 in the US Markets. MARCH: Our cover story featured Joe Videmsek, Investor of the Year for 2002. Joe discussed with us his current investments (which include 25 Bowser stocks). We mentioned Alpha Pro Tech (APT), in particular, with regards to its expensive management and slipping earnings that led to a sell recommendation after being featured in Category Three for almost a year. XETA Tech (XETA) was acquired by PAETEC Holdings (PAET) for $5.50 a share in cash. APRIL: This month we announced our Investor of the Year: Elmer Mulhausen. April also saw an article on Flaherty’s Favorites of the Famous, an annual favorite stock panel. This panel, headed by Robert Flaherty, outgained the S&P 500, featuring recommendations from Mario Gabelli, and our own Buckaroo, Russell Cleveland. Back when the picks were made the previous December, we had recommended Turbosonic Tech, which was a sell recommendation in this very issue. MAY: The world of brokerages was discussed this month through an interview with long-time broker, William D. Milkes. With his experience, he shared with us the ins and outs of the stock brokerage world, and its changes overtime. We spoke highly of Accelr8’s (AXK) concept, the BACcel rapid diagnostic system. At this time, AXK was being backed by Novartis, its industry collaborator.

JUNE: Bowser Report headquarters received a visit from Buckaroo Bob Bradshaw this month. In our interview, we touched on multiple topics. Our Company of the Month for June was a company that collects and recycles used motor oil,

Vertex Energy (VTNR.OB). We also wrote about the growth of LRAD’s spin-off, Parametric Sound (PAMT.OB). JULY: Our front page saw two subjects: Warren Buffet and small company buybacks. The buybacks subject was sparked by former Company of the Month Dynatronics (DYNT) announcing a $1 million stock repurchase program. Novartis extended its Accelr8 (AXK) collaboration. We also announced a name change for our latest book: 34 Years Profitability Buying-Selling Penny Stocks to You Can Be a Winner with Our Penny Stock Plan.

AUGUST: Richmont Mines (RIC) was given our Microcap Horatio Alger Award because of its growth during a time of high gold prices, and also its survival through a period when gold prices were low. Cover-All (COVR) was spoken of highly. We also tried to

calm anxiety amongst our investors, as August saw a one day drop of 614 points in the Dow Jones. SEPTEMBER: A piece in Bottom Line Personal prompted a front-page article on the ever-present debate against small, publicly-traded companies. We also discussed the bear market, drawing attention to the investments that we made during the 2008 bear market, which yielded us a 98.4% profit on an original investment of $11,620.46. Metropolitan Health (MDF) announced that its shareholders agreed to acquire Continucare Corp. OCTOBER: This month saw the official launch of the Alpha Project—an investment program for young investors. Our inspirations for the idea were Jonathan Biernbaun, Missouri, and Isaac Zimmerman, who contacted us as a 20 year-old college student in 2007. We also discussed CVD Equipment’s (CVD) development of graphene, the thinnest and toughest material ever produced. NOVEMBER: A fellow newsletter, the Dick Davis Digest, was featured. We reported on Editor Chloe Lutts’, interview of the publications founder, Dick Davis. With the market continuing its downward trend, we touched again on how to make money in a bear market. DECEMBER: We reiterated the upsides of investing in small stocks using our plan. We also took on the topic of small Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). We awarded Robert H. Belcher of Ft. Myers, FL the title of honorary editor. Two companies announced large acquisitions: GlobalSCAPE (GSB) is acquiring TappIn and Iteris (ITI) is acquiring Berkley Transportation System.

$1.00-$1.82

Perma-Fix Environmental Services is a nuclear waste management and engineering consulting company. The company is split into two major segments: Nuclear Waste Management Services and Consulting Engineering Services. The subsidiaries are split as follows:

First, Nuclear Waste Management operates through four major subsidiaries: Perma-Fix of Florida, Inc., Diversified Scientific Services, Inc., East Tennessee Materials & Energy Corporation, and Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. All subsidiaries, except Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, operate under both a hazardous waste permit and a radioactive materials license. All four locations engage in the following activities:

Treatment, storage, processing and disposal of mixed waste (waste containing both low-level radioactive and hazardous waste); Nuclear, low-level radioactive, and mixed waste treatment, processing and disposal; and Research and development of ways to process low-level radioactive materials and mixed waste.

The Nuclear Waste Management segment represents the core of PESI’s business (accounting for 97.5% of total fiscal 2010 revenues).

Second, Consulting and Engineering Services operates through a single subsidiary located in Ellisville, Missouri (Schreiber, Yonley & Associates). Schreiber, Yonley & Associates specializes in air, water, and hazardous waste permitting, air, soil, and water sampling, compliance reporting, emission reduction strategies, compliance auditing, and various compliance and training activities to industrial, education, healthcare, and service organizations. The subsidiary also provides engineering and compliance support need by PESI’s other segments.

The Consulting Engineering Services segment accounted for just 2.5% of the total 2010 fiscal revenues.

Finances

As mentioned above, almost all of the company’s revenues are derived from its Nuclear Segment. To generate revenues, the company services research institutions, commercial companies, public utilities, and governmental agencies nationwide, including the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.

The majority of the company’s Nuclear Segment revenues are generated through PESI’s relationship with the federal government. Direct and indirect (as a subcontractor) services to the federal government accounted for 82.1% of the company’s total fiscal 2010 revenues.

Impressive about Perma-Fix is its continuous revenue growth and profitability. Fiscal 2010 revenues totaled $97,790,000, a 6% increase from fiscal 2009 and a 30% increase from fiscal 2008. In its most recent quarter ended 9/30/11, the company reported an increase in revenues when compared to the same quarter last year ($32,787,000

Sept. ‘10 vs. $22,864,000 Sept. ’11). The current quarter’s net income was $6,011,000, up from a loss of $1,066,000 the same quarter last year.

PESI also possesses a strong balance sheet. It has low long-term debt of $3,487,000 (reduced from $9,626,000 in March 2011). Perma-Fix’s book value ($1.56) remains relatively close to its trading price.

Of PESI’s shares outstanding (55,174,000), 44.4% are held by 32 different institutions, and 14.6% are held by insiders. The company has a float of 51,600,000.

Management

Dr. Louis F. Centofanti serves as the company’s chairman, president, and chief executive officer, and has been with PESI since 1991. Prior to his career with Perma-Fix, Dr. Centofanti served as a regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Energy for the Southeastern Region of the U.S. from 1978 to 1981, founded PPM, Inc. in 1981 (which later sold to USPCI, Inc.), and served as senior vice president of USPCI, Inc., a

large hazardous waste management company. He currently holds 1,299,524 shares of PESI’s common stock (2.34%).

Ben Naccarato serves as Perma-Fix’s chief financial officer. He joined the company in 2004, and was made CFO in 2009. Prior to

working with PESI, Naccarato was the CFO of Culp Petroleum Company, Inc. He holds 115,000 shares of common stock, which accounts for less than 1% of the company’s shares outstanding.

Recent News

The company recently participated in the Sidoti & Company Semi-Annual Microcap Conference on January 9, 2012 in New York City.

PESI hosted its 11th annual Mixed and Low-Level Waste Management Forum. The forum took place from December 5-8, 2011.

On November 1, 2011, Perma-Fix completed the acquisition of Safety & Ecology Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, a specialist in the remediation of nuclear waste for the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Office: 8302 Dunwoody Place, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA 30350, 770/587-9898, www.perma-fix.com. The company employs 667 people on a full-time basis.

CATEGORY CHANGE

TII NETWORK TECH: Move from Cat 1 to Cat 3. After a mistake led to the company being left out the past two months, we have reentered the company as a Cat 3.

Management is stirring—the company announced a change in its accounting firm, the resignation of its CFO, and the firing of their CEO.

To go along with these announcements, the company had a 24.7% slip in revenues in its most recent quarter ended 9/30/11 when compared to the quarter ended 9/30/10.

COVER-ALL ACQUIRES BLUEWAVE TECHNOLOGY

COVR announced the acquisition of BlueWave Technology’s assets, including its innovative insurance claims software, PipelineClaimsTM, in a cash transaction effective 12/30/11.

Cover-all will continue to market, expand and support BlueWave Claims as a stand-alone Claims solution. However, it is also being fully integrated with NexGen Policy, NexGen Business, and NexGen Billing to create a truly end-to-end comprehensive, fully-integrated enterprise platform.

With more than 16 years of insurance software sales experience and 9 years providing claims administration

solutions to the industry, Aaron Herrmann has been appointed as Vice-President of Sales for the Claims solution.

LRAD RECEIVES THREE ORDERS

LRAD received a LRAD-RX systems order from Fort Worth, TX as part of a perimeter security upgrade to one of the city’s critical infrastructure facilities.

The company also received an opening order from the Middle East for anti-piracy oil tanker installations and a follow-on order from Thailand’s Department of Disaster Response. The three orders total over $600,000 and will ship this quarter. CEO Tom Brown: “These orders showcase LRAD’s broad spectrum of applications in growing markets.”

DGSE OPENS ANOTHER BULLION EXPRESS LOCATION

DGSE Companies, Inc. has opened its fifth North Texas retail operation in Arlington, near the Parks at Arlington Mall.

The Arlington opening follows successful Bullion Express store openings in the Park Cities and Galleria areas of Dallas and Woodland Hills, CA.

“We have been very happy with the early profitability of our first three Bullion Express locations and robust holiday sales at all of our other stores,” stated CEO and President William Oyster.

BOWSER BUCKAROOS SPEAKWHAT’S GOING ON WITH TIII?

Happy Holidays to everyone. Thought I would let you know that I did not see TIII listed in Category 1 in the November or December issues.

--Jane Allen, Eugene, OR

I was hoping in the December issue you were going to share your thoughts on the mysterious decline in TIII’s share price. With the announcement of a new accounting firm, the resignation of their CFO and the board giving the boot to the CEO, I can’t help but think it’s just a matter of time before the company releases the bad news that a privileged few already know.

--Lee Bresmon, Grayling, MI

First, a big thank you goes to Jane and Lee for pointing out our error. Each have been Buckaroos with us for quite some time—Jane for 6 years and Lee for 19.

The company has had an interesting string of events coupled with a slipping share price from trading around $2.00/share in October to now trading below $1.50/share. Lee mentioned the management struggles of the company, which always make investors weary. To go along with those, however, in the quarter ending 9/30/11 the company’s earnings were up 3.5% from a year ago, but their revenues fell 24.7% to $14,583,000. TIII has thus been moved to Category 3 on page four.

EVOLVING SYSTEMS SPECIAL DIVIDEND

Normally, dividends are not a big factor in dealng with mini-priced stocks. However, EVOL has just paid out a $2/share special dividend which has knocked the equity’s otherwise-stable price below the 75%-of-high mark. In this case, is EVOL a sell or should we make adjustments for this special dividend?

--Roger Fisher, Foster City, CA

Roger is one of the 18% of Buckaroos that have been with us 20 years or more. . . . in his case, 27 to be exact.

EVOL paid a one-time special dividend of $2 on January 3rd. The company paid a $0.05 dividend in each of the first three quarters and this special one in the fourth quarter of 2011. Their 2012 operating plan right now calls for a resumption of the $0.05 dividend payments starting in the second quarter. Although, that could change depending on the board of directors.

To answer Roger’s question, we are treating the $2 dividend the same as any other dividend so that it should not affect the 75%-of-high mark.

BEATING THE S&P 500

I read the Bowser Report for years and never bought any stocks. Every month I would think to myself that the Company of the Month is not going any place. Then one day I went over several years of the Bowser Reports and noticed that a lot of those stocks were going up in price. So, I changed my mind, I started buying Bowser stocks.

Over the years I built up a 12 to 15 Bowser stock portfolio. I ended up buying about half of the companies, never every Company of the Month. I started buying 400 shares instead of 200. My portfolio was not self-financing, but moving in that direction. I kept a close watch of the gains and losses. My goal was to beat the S&P 500 index. Most of the time, I did beat the S&P by a little, and once in a while by a lot.

--Name Withheld

This particular Buckaroo has been with us for 20 years. He appears to follow the Game Plan, and thus has been profitable in Bowser stocks. For this, we congratulate him. He mentions later that he sold all of his Bowser shares in 2008, but would like to rebuild a Bowser portfolio. On this, we wish him luck.

LAST MONTH’SBIGGEST GAINER

MICROVISIONUP 54 %WARRANT REGISTER

Retail Opportunity InvestmentsWith warrants we try not to dwell too much on the Bowser Rating, though this system provides guidance on a company’s financial background. Retail Opportunity Investments’ common (GS:ROIC) received an 8. This rating is due in large part to their financial success in the most recent quarter (ended 9/30/11). Revenues for the quarter were $13,555,364, up 280% from the same quarter last year, $4,842,307. Net income rose from a loss of $493,795 in 9/30/10 to its current gain of $436,196.

ROIC’s warrants do not expire until October 23, 2014, an extension of the original expire date of October 17, 2011. The warrants are callable at $18.75 for 20 out of 30 days. This company features a large number of warrants (44 million), which is less than ideal. This warrant replaces the expired Stream Global.

Associated Banc-CorpLike ROIC, this bank holding company has a high Bowser Rating because of good financial performance in its most recent quarter. While revenues have slipped to $185,095,000 from $196,216,000 the same period last year, net income rose 289% from the same quarter last year, $41,339,000, up from $14,309,000. Combined with a high book value of $16.07 and no long-term debt yielded Associated Banc-Corp’s common (GS:ASBC) a Bowser Rating of 9.

Favorable with this warrant is the low number of

warrants to common shares (4 million warrants vs. 174 million common shares) and its far-off expire date: November 21, 2018. It replaces another expired warrant, United Insurance Holdings.

TCF FINANCIAL completed the acquisition of Gateway One Lending & Finance LLC, a private lending company in the indirect auto finance market. The company is working with more than 3,100 active dealer relationships while originating loans to customers in 30 states. As part of the deal, TCF is retaining Gateway One’s experienced executive management team. The acquisition allows TCF to diversify its business while providing plenty of growth opportunities in the large U.S. auto lending market.

USA TECHNOLOGIES has been selected by Unified Strategies Group (USG) to provide USG membership with USAT’s industry- leading cashless payments and wireless telemetry solution. USG has indicated to USAT that it is a buying consortium of over 700 vending companies representing more than 500,000 vending machines (approximately 33% of the U.S. vending industry), and generating over $3.0 billion in annual vending sales. Under the agreement, USG members will be able to install USA Technologies ePort solution with no upfront capital costs.

CHINA HYDROELECTRIC has entered into an Equity Purchase and Sales Agreement with Fujian Dachuang Group to sell its Yuanping hydroelectric power project, a 16 megawatt project located in Fujian Province, for a total consideration of $22.0 million, including the assumption of debt by the buyer.

primarily due to strong performances by our Anti-Viro Infection & Respiratory and our Digestive product categories. CPHI continues to face pressures across many of our products during the quarter, but we expect gross margin and revenue to benefit from new product launches in the months and quarters ahead. Also, we continue to advance our novel cephalosporin-based combination antibiotic through Phase II clinical trials,” noted CEO Zhilin Li.

(B) - FHCO expects significant quarter-to-quarter variations in its operating results, due to the timing, receipt and requested shipping schedules of large orders. As reported throughout FY2011, the company’s financial results were negatively impacted by on-going delays involving certain large tenders.

(C) - Tena Mayberry, CEO: “New sales growth is a top priority and especially now that we are entering into our peak selling season to add new clients for calendar year 2012. FFI was right on target this quarter and we believe we have a strong foundation to build on this fiscal year.”

(D) - W. Barry Gilbert, CEO: “2011 was a solid year for IEC as we continue to improve our operating performance and make strong inroads into the Medical sector. We primarily used low cost debt to finance our strategic acquisitions and our goal in the back half of fiscal 2011 has been to reduce our debt $1 million a month. We exceeded this goal by paying down our debt by $10.2 million during the fourth quarter and by $12.2 million since the acquisition of SCB nine months ago.”

(E) - The growth in revenue and improved profitability in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2011 are principally due to more new software contracts with a higher total value completed by INS’ CoreCard Software subsidiary. Also, noted CEO J. Leland Strange, “Our ChemFree subsidiary continued its string of nicely profitable quarters, although unit sales of its SmartWasher bio-remediating parts washers were weaker than in the comparable periods in 2010.”

(F) - “Our record fiscal 2011 financial results demonstrate the versatility of LRAD’s proprietary ‘Long Range Acoustic Device’ systems and their growing international acceptance,” said CEO Tom Brown. Revenues for fiscal 2011 increased 59% to $26.5

million for fiscal year 2010. Net income for fiscal 2011 was $5 million compared to net income of $3 million for fiscal 2010.

(G) - CEO Assaf Ran: “At the end of the quarter, continuing to the beginning of the fourth quarter, LOAN experienced a wave of loan returns. We see that as a positive sign and are investing the necessary efforts to redeploy the funds into new appropriate opportunities.”

(H) - “We are pleased with our first quarter performance. PZZI has established a platform for growth of Pie Five with additional funding to support it and expect to open several more Pie Fives by the end of next fiscal year’s second quarter,” said CEO Charlie Morrison.

(I) - CFO Ms. Momoko Beran: “I’m pleased to report that we completed another record fiscal year, with three of the four quarters setting new quarterly records on a consolidated basis and all four quarters setting new records for the pharmaceutical software and services side of SLP’s business.”

(J) - Please see Pages 4 and 6 in this issue. (K) - Increased revenue and profitability in the first quarter of 2012

can be primarily attributed to additional revenue from the Title II Construction Management projects and from the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project in its National Security business segment and improved performance from its US-based construction projects.
