They sell security software and security systems for schools,ports etc..
I bought in at 1.42 and then again at 1.55 then again at 2.26.Sold one batch of shares at 2.14.
From what Ive gleaned from the internet they have 3-5 contract announcements on the horizon and in the wake of the Virginia shooting the CEO is supposed to be on CNBC or some other cable show on Tuesday with feature stories tonight on school security systems on CBS.
Ive put another limit order if it hits 2.25 today.Currently its at 2.38.
I see the possibility of 3+ next week.
Well,time to get back to my real job of farming.Do your homework clones,dont go by me.

Wow -Irony.
I met with MDII last year in Vegas at the ISC west show. They were a 10M company and was talking joint venture BD with them branching into retail with their "One" platform.
Can't remember the name of the arogant little fucker I talked to (may have been Garcia) , he was on crutches with a broken leg. He was like "yea, yea.... we want to take a look at that" and never followed up or returned a call or e-mail.
I remember looking at their stock around a buck and thinking, they had a pretty good piece of software, but with sales team like that, they were going nowhere.
Saw their total sales for 2006 was 8M.
As for the stock - it's same for all security stocks - if there's any type of catastrophic event (Va Tech, WTC, Etc.) they go up as a group.
A good play on the VA tech thing would be to find a public company like Alertnow http://www.alertnow.com/ as this text message warning system is really gaining some traction. I read ATT is trying to set up with a few colleges, but I don't think it's gonna generate enough money for a company that size to make it rocket.
A good play is CCTV and Metal / bomb detectors.
The best of Breed for those, IMHO:
VRNT - kick ass product - smart sales team
ASEI - Wait till the next bombing and these guys explode (bad pun)
Good Luck

MDI and Almana Networks Partner to Service Rapidly Growing Security Market in Qatar
Thursday May 3, 12:49 pm ET
Joint Venture Scheduled to Deliver $1M in Orders to MDI During First Month of Operation
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News), the leading provider of Unified Technology(TM) solutions for the security industry, today announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Doha, Qatar based Almana Networks. The agreement establishes a joint venture between the two parties focused on providing unified physical and electronic security solutions, along with converged network infrastructures, to existing organizations and new construction projects in the rapidly growing country of Qatar.
The Almana Group is one of the largest business organizations in the country and is a significant contributor to its continued economic development and financial infrastructure. Its subsidiary business divisions include oil and natural gas, general contracting, steel production, transportation, retail, restaurants, information technology, financial services, real estate, engineering, HVAC systems, automobiles and marine services.
The new venture is currently finalizing negotiations on several security projects in Qatar, two of which it believes it will be awarded during the month of May. These multi-million dollar comprehensive projects include over one million dollars in products and services from MDI when finalized. They include securing new construction developments for a global leader in the petroleum and natural gas industry and securing regional holdings for one of the most prestigious hotel chains in the world.
"Almana Networks and MDI are both proven leaders in their respective countries," stated Swaraj Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Almana Networks. "MDI's technology offerings and security expertise will play a critical role in the growth strategy for Almana Networks and I look forward to working with the MDI Team on this new venture to provide state-of-the-art automated security solutions via converged networks to our valued customers in Qatar," he added....
..."As announced last year, MDI has been focusing on several opportunities in the Middle East with its new Global Systems Solutions subsidiary," stated J. Collier Sparks, President and CEO of MDI, Inc. "This joint venture is one result of that focus. By partnering with one of the most successful and respected business organizations in Qatar, MDI is now positioned to capitalize on a multi-billion dollar market that many will strive for but few will succeed in due to the vast barriers to entry. This is a tremendous milestone for the company and its stakeholders and I am proud that MDI has been selected as Almana's exclusive physical solution provider in the region," he concluded....
