Increasing Avalon Holdings (AWX) Position
We recently saw a further pullback in microcap Avalon Holdings(AWX)(from the $6.50 range to $4.50) as an opportunity, and added to our position. At $4.70, the company has $1.77 per share in cash, and we believe the downside is limited.
Be aware that AWX is incredibly small, has low volume, and fairly wide spreads. Please see our earlier research for more information.

Hi,
Based just on a quick look at the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows, it looks like this company has been spending btwn 2 and 4 X Operating Cash Flows on Capital Expenditures for the last 4 quarters. This is reflected in the declining Cash amount on the Balance Sheet each quarter.
Do you know what the Capital Expenditures are for and how long they're required? If this trend continues won't the company will be out of money in 2 to 3 quarters?
Thanks
The company purchased the Sharon Country Club in q4 2006, and 2007 cap-ex reflects improvements to club facilities. Through q3 2007, capex was $9.1 million, with company estimating total 2007 cap ex in the $10.5-$11.5 million range. Project was expected to be completed in q4.
