This just in Says it all
Dave: I am responding to your e-mail expressing your concern over the reverse stock split.
First, let me point out that the reverse split issue, as well as other financial issues, were discussed and a resolution approved by unanimous voting shares at the Shareholders' Meeting in May, and the appropriate board authorizing resolution was subsequently adopted. This is discussed in the 10QSB for the second quarter ended June 30, 1999.
One of the reasons for the action is that we feel that it will increase shareholder value by lowering the number of shares in the float, while making it easier to achieve our goal of growing through acquisition. As we all know, buying anything costs something. For Salient Cybertech the viable option requires the use of stock, either to acquire with directly, or to sell in the open market to raise capital. A stable share price with a modest float is to everyone's advantage. The post split float is about 193,000 shares.
As for shareholder value, this is the reason everyone at Salient shows up for work everyday because our pay day is based on company value which translates into shareholder value. I, as well as most of our board members and corporate officers, have sizeable common stock holdings and share your concerns.
As for your question about a NASDAQ listing, I truly believe that every bulletin board company wants that, but our focus must remain in building core company value first and then move to the next level.
Lastly, a lot of people have invested money and time as well as personal resources in the company. Everyone at Salient Cybertech takes the business and our shareholder responsibilities very seriously. We believe in what were doing and that in the long term we will all be very successful.
