Profitable Companies Trading Below Net Current Asset Value

As promised, here's the latest list of profitable net/nets. In order to qualify, market cap had to be greater than $20 million, with positive trailing 12 month net income, and the company had to have a "real" operating business. (Therefore, companies such as Zapata (ZAP) and Comdisco (CDCO) did not qualify.) Some of these names, such as Audiovoxx and Lazare Kaplan seem to be perennial net/nets; others are first timers.

There you have it. Once again, all these companies are deep into micro-cap land, so use caution, and do your own evaluation. As a postscript, there were some intriguing names with market caps below $20 million; but these were too small for print.
