MFIC News Taglich Brothers Issues Updated Research Report for MFIC Corporation and Significantly Raises 12 Month Price Target
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MFIC Corporation (“MFIC”
or the “Company”) (OTCBB:MFIC)
announced today that Taglich Brothers on December 11, 2006 increased
its twelve month price target for MFIC to $2.80 while retaining its
rating of MFIC as a “Speculative Buy”
and published an updated research report for the Company (current price
$1.71).
MFIC’s Chairman and CEO, Irwin Gruverman,
commented “We are pleased to see an increase
in the target price for our shares. We note that Taglich has estimated
that MFIC’s audit fees will increase by
$400,000 in 2007 as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. We estimate
that such increase is more than twice the amount of the total
Sarbanes-Oxley related increase that we expect to experience in 2007 and
that only a relatively small portion of that amount will be attributable
to increased audit fees, while the balance will be allocated to
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance consultants for implementation and review.”
