Look at the facts. Forecross will be bankrupt in two months.
This prediction may seem ridiculous for a company which the VSE has driven to a value of over 100 million but if one cares to look at actual results rather than the hype on this site, it's an inescapable conclusion.
I have read almost all the old postings and find three consistent reasons which have been used to promote the stock:
1 they have sold yet another distributor (that's four now) at one million a pop;
2 they will be listed on a U.S exchange any day now (this one started in 1996);
3 look at all the contracts signed in the past two years on Y2K -sales will be easily $50,000,000 a year based on these fantastic contracts.
The Distributors:
The distributors are owned and controlled by the same promoters that own Forecross. These sales of one million each simply reflect the money going around in a circle. The former auditors, Coopers, resigned since they would not recognize these sales. The documentation of this fact is in the BC Securities file and the VSE files both of which I have examined. The only reason for the distributors is that they take 50 percent of any revenues so the public company ends up with only half of the revenue.
The VSE:
Why would any promoter in his right mind want to move this stock off the VSE. I have been told by the traders on the floor that it is one of the most controlled stocks on the exchange. The float is completely controlled. If this stock ever moved to a U.S. exchange (and it can't because of the going concern auditors qualification - and the fact it has no equity on the books) it would drop in half in one day. No U.S. institutional investor will look at this one - moving to another exchange will not change their mind.
The Contracts:
I have read through all the countless press releases on the millions of dollars of contracts which will produce millions in sales. In fact the Y2K sales for Forecross are running at around $250,000 monthly. The predicted sales based on the contracts signed in 1996 and 1997 would drive a sales figure of about $4 million monthly. What's going on? Could it be that all the sales announced have evaporated? The question is -Do you believe the reported sales or do you believe the press release sales?
The amounts owing for unpaid wages and commissions (about $950,000 at December) will be a higher number than their sales this quarter. Further, ALL THEIR RECEIVABLES HAVE BEEN FACTORED - if you haven't caught on yet, this means that not one cent of cash comes into Forecross it all goes to the factoring company - plus 24 percent! The only certainty is that the promoters will be forced to convert their options on 500,000 shares (at a whopping $1.43 a share) and the promoters will cash in their 270,000 of warrants to postpone filing for Chapter 11 for maybe two more months. When this happens, look out because on a VSE controlled stock selling 770,000 shares will drive the price down to about $1.45.
What I can't understand is this: If anyone took the time to read the financial information which Forecross sends to it shareholders and then compared that to the press releases - alarm bells would ring. How can anyone still hype this stock faced with such overwhelming evidence that it's a sham? |
