.....Lonnie.....If I were Ira, I would not speak to any of you, for very obvious legal reasons, as well as potential conflict of interest. .....The '97 financials would have been released at the earliest possible moment (unaudited), without announcement. Unaudited 1st quarter financials should be released now.
.....I would not have announced any negotiations with Atrix, until an agreement had been reached, and it would have been a positive, upbeat, joint announcement.
.....Announcement of acquisitions would only be made after the fact. Had the deal not gone through, you would not have been aware of it.
.....I would now be looking for another candidate for acquisition, for the same purpose, getting NASDAQ listing.
.....I would hire a retired executive to monitor these boards and report to me any reasonable suggestions that may benefit the company or improve shareholder value.
.....I would make certain that my PR people knew our business, and handled our shareholders and press releases in a Forbes 100 manner. You don't call your large shareholders, asking if they are going to sell.
.....An example: I have in my hands the unaudited 9 months (12/31) for Americlean (AMCX), who willingly faxed me their info, stating that they had a small loss for the period, which had been wiped out during the 4th quarter, as they have just come through a restructuring period, and are showing a small profit for the year.
.....This is the type of simple, up-front information that potential shareholders need and desire. This is the approach we need from Firamada. |
