We now reasonably know, or feel, the Lifetime contract is slowly growing and wait to see if there will be reasonable returns as the schools move toward whatever fund raising efforts they will attempt after the first of the year during this school year. There will be returns but how revenue fulfilling they will be waits to be seen. The feel is this building of participation will be the initial commitments toward the initial push the schools will do the first of next school year. Word of the TSIG.com offering continuing to spread should cause more schools to add their efforts to the cause. This appears to have developed into a building process instead of the big bang deal we all hoped for.

The same applies to 4-H and the other fund raising deals signed before. This looks to be the foundation year for setting the participation for the next school year. The next school year will further set the next.

Nettaxi from what I read continues to work sporadically on TSIG. The exposure is there now. We wait to see what further developments are generated. Nettaxi is in charge of what happens there. TSIG has been ready for all developments from the beginning.

United Cerebral Palsy is now the big immediate ticket. I understand there are plans being drawn to initiate this deal almost immediately. Examine closely the sponsorships and the many ways the word will or can be spread. This deal should be the high topic of the board.

The Coke deal is another immediate exposure and response avenue for the Cards. If anyone feels there should be no expense from TSIG.com to initiate a project then they have no business being in the business world and probably aren't. The simple fact that Coke has chosen TSIG to be part of one of their offerings speaks well for the company and it's products. Also the indication of further dealings to come would add to the longevity of this relationship.

Further deals in contact, in the pipeline, being negotiated or completed will further add to the exposure of the Cards. Having already seen the quality of corporate and charity sponsors already closed, we can imagine the far ranging exposure to be generated as the deals continue to be closed. TSIG has not backed off from continuing to attempt to add to the client base. There will likely be further alliances announced shortly and regularly.

With all this good news why won't the stock respond? History and weight.

TSIG has made some absolutely terrible decisions that continue to plague it.

The placement of a year ago still haunts us. The dilution and shorting generated by it and further necessitated financing continue to hold the value down. My feel is only strong fast accumulation will break this hold. Breaking the short interest may be the big item.

The Online Division and the Management team put in place a year ago also hurt the company badly. It put the company on the wrong track and deprived it of probably a million dollars. This caused delays in advancement and made additional funding an absolute necessity. The company nearly went under. The correction and return to focus has also taken time and has been slowed due to the financial conditions.

The management of TSIG has become suspect through various dealings, actions, decisions that were made as the company tried to progress and now has a stigma attached. This has made it hard to obtain proper funding and also has caused investors to vacate and adopt a wait and see attitude.

The Catch 22 now seems to apply. The stock needs to go up but investors want things to look better. It won't get better until investors come in. Funding at these levels won't be likely favorable. Investors want to see favorable funding. Investors want to see management changed. Solid new management probably won't be available until the company progresses. Hiring can't happen until funding happens. Funders want to see progress. The deals in place and coming help but prior execution is lacking. Adequate funding also aids in generating the stages toward execution (revenues).

Time will now be the element that is necessary. Giving the time needed to bring the Card products to the public through the new deals done and coming will be the test needed to show if the acceptability of the product is forthcoming. If it works and sales are generated in volume to prove the concept all will work out. I'm personally looking approximately to March for the ramping to complete to the extent to give the indicators necessary.

Additional funding to drive the company to March is what I have determined is necessary. The $2m stated as needed must be obtained soon in order to maintain forward progress and satisfy prior commitments. The funding is being looked for through many avenues.

There are a number of needed actions TSIG.com must do, IMO. Primary is the funding. It allows the catch up on past obligations. It funds the forward progress. It hires new talent.

Will TSIG.com be a successful profitable company the investors will some day be proud to be a part of? I happen to think so. It is not the big bang we dreamed of but could and should be one of the growth companies coming from the emerging company status. As it proceeds to profitability and beyond, the negatives should fall off.

No longer do I feel there will be progression beyond earned status. We've seen the action the stock has taken with blockbuster news. Revenue is the desired result now. The stock will have to catch up to the value of the company as the company progresses until the negativity abates. That could make this an undervalued company as it continues to advance while the negativity of the past holds the stock down. It remains interesting and frustrating to watch but only time will tell.

This is MY OPINION. Do your own diligence.
