Sr. Analyst

On March 13, 2007, Bristol Capital management made public a letter to the CEO as part of its 13 D/A filing stating its unhappiness with AVCA's management, and demanding some action (auctioning the company among other options) and board seats. Note Bristol owns roughly 4.5% of the company and has in the past offered to buyout the company at $16 something last year. Apparently management has been resisting any idea of selling the company.
