here is some INFO i gathered last night with George
Did you ever consider that the Catawabakid might not have anything above the eyebrows?
1. The vlt's are not held up in customs the PC boards are , they did not arrive until yesterday. And if Catawbakid had read all of the news releases since last Sept., he would know that this lottery is not sponsored by the government of Venezuela, but the State of Cojedes. The Federal Govt. has no involvement in this project, but the Fed's do control customs, so if there ever is a customs problem, there will not be any Federal Govt. favoritism shown to this lottery. It's treated like any other goods coming into the country.
2. It sounds like Catawbakid is afraid of the Gagel report--why state that there is no sign of it and then assume that it will be super positive? Is there a problem with a positive report from an Independent Consultant?
3. The slots were discussed in depth during the telephone conference call. You should make use of the tools of information. Maybe you would not sound so uninformed. Review the conference call, and you will hear all about the slots for the Mandarin.
4. The Vaprel equipment and the Autocaller are being worked on as time and money permits. As you know, this lottery project has cost this small developing company a few hundred thousand dollars out of it's own pocket. Funds are not unlimited! By the way, did you know that NRAG does not have one cent of public money in it?
5. There will be no more discussion of JV's and/or buyouts from this end--use your own sources for this type of information.
One last couple of quick comments. In discussions with George, he would like me to point out to all of the shareholders who are seriously interested in the future of NorAm to consider the fustration the company management feels when our own people( shareholders ) try to buy the stock at bid or below. Why not at least buy at the ask? This is not a day trade stock. All of us can help by showing strength and solidarity by trying to keep the price of the stock up as high as possible.
Regarding the float--the idea that because the float has increased the stock price is down, makes no sense. If you look at the price approx. .39 and multiply it times the shares in the float, approx. $4 million, you will see that the entire float can be bought for approx. $1.5 million. For a company with the kinds of projects that this company has going on, you would think that some smart buyer(s) would come in and snatch up the entire float. How ridiculous to think that it's the increase in the float that is causing the stock to sink.
So let's not listen to this person with the bad attitude and the bad information.
Im sure there are many points i could go on to make but at this time we feel ( George and I ) that any developing News will be giving out only by press releases. What these guys have done is ruin it for everyone . Since when did we become criminals . we are regular people just like you doing our job to the best of our abillity .If that is not good enough for you then, we are sorry . In the buisness world things take time and we are acutually ahead of schedule if you read the press releases. I understand being cautious but some of these topics have been ridiculous to say the least ,Everything is going as planned and will continue to go this way.WE ARE BREAKING our BACKS day and night .We want this project to start making money much more then any investor i can assure you . we all have the same goals . We have alot of work that needs to be done and have some very new exciting propositions on the table and you will all be well informed as we Receive any new INFO .All this efforts are with shareholder value in mind . i dont know what else we can do , except keep working when the numbers come in , during the first quarter of 98 there will be no more questions . we cant rush time though . we must wait along with you
Thank you for your time and support
GO NRAG MBA
