uWink Q2/2008 Earnings: It’s a Good Thing uWink Isn’t a Restaurant Company

Chris Fernandez updates his view on uWink. A lot of interesting comments, including a realistic approach to the disappointing results of the 2Q 2008...

>>After taking a look at the latest quarterly results from uWink (NASDAQ: UWKI.OB), parsing the numbers, and talking to management, it struck me that it’s a good thing that uWink isn’t a restaurant company because it was not a pretty picture…and then I caught myself.

You see, right now, uWink is indeed a restaurant company until they start selling and licensing their proprietary gaming and point of sale (POS) software on a large scale, which is the whole basis of my original investing thesis for buying shares of uWink.

In the end, I don’t really care about the success of their restaurants, and neither should you, but rather the continued success of that software and licensing business.

But, and this is a big but, until that happens, uWink is on borrowed time, and is indeed solely a restaurant company, that HOPES to license its software to really increase revenue, and ultimately, stay in business.
