Mr. Wes,
I agree with a portion of your statements. The problem with this company is management doesn't have any loyalties to anyone. That is most obvious. They don't seem to care about the shareholders or they would have made an effort to file the 10-K and Q in a timely manner. The delinquency, according to Mr. Dan L. is two year's. I don't care what excuses they make, in my opinion there isn't anything that could substantiate two year's. As for Lanza selling stock? It could have been over a year ago, a month ago or a week ago. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter. You ask why? If I were him, I would have walked along time ago. Imagine being a consultant to a company knowing that management has a lazy attitude about getting important filings filed on time. It would be very difficult for me to get up in the morning, go into my office and work in an optimistic manner. To me, it would have been much easier to hand in my letter of resignation and accept a consulting position with a company who had management that was more efficient and much more productive. It would be frustrating to consult a company knowing the potential that was in the making and then, witness it going no where. Not only that, I can't imagine how Mr. Lanza felt knowing he brought a fabulous deal to the table and then see it being turned down. If I were in his position, I think I would come to the conclusion that I was in a no win situation. He can't win with the shareholders and he can't win with management. But I have to say, knowing Joe Lanza like I have come to know him, he is resilient and will come out on top of this. Yes, I am loyal member until someone can prove otherwise, I'm optimistic and feel he isn't steering us wrong. You can't help but like the guy. Like my wife says, he has a way of growing on you and he sometimes brightens her day.
Mr. Wes, you have stated that Joe Vigliarolo hasn't spoken on this bulletin board or thread which I notice many reference it as. I on one hand understand why Mr. Vigliarolo hasn't made any statements. Yet, Mr. Wes, if he is worried that his comments maybe misconstrued, why hasn't he made a press release or sent the shareholders a letter? Would a letter take a great deal of time to send out? No, it would not! How long has it been since you have received any correspondence from this company? The only thing shareholders ever receive is a press release that seems to be a "buy some more time" letter. I for one believe that the 10-K hasn't been filed because of Mr. Lanza. Like I told you before, the filing could have been made with a disclosure to Mr. Lanza IF THAT IS THE REAL REASON. I also phoned my CPA this evening, he told me that a 10-K could have been filed no matter what Mr. Lanza's position is. He said a disclosure would have been sufficient and that Mr. Lanza would not benefit in anyway by not filing a 10-K. I told him that Mr. Lanza is suppose to be holding notes on money that was loaned by either his company or his son Mario. My CPA said that no matter what the situation is, the 10-K still could have been filed with a disclosure statement and it would not have any bearing on Mr. Lanza's current position with Airstar Technologies. He stated, if the company is blaming Mr. Lanza for not being able to file the 10-K, then someone is trying to conceal the real reason for the absence of the filing. In addition, he stated with all the uproar that is being posted on Silicon Investor, he felt it was reckless on Mr. Vigliarolo's part not to have made some kind of statement or correspondence to the shareholders on why it was being delayed. If it has been delinquent for two years, my CPA stated that he certainly should not be in the position of President and/or Officer of a public company. He felt Mr. Vigliarolo was of great hindrance to Airstar Technolgies for allowing this situation to take place. Knowing my CPA as well as I do, I believe what he had to say.
Have a good evening,
Dr. Milton Schmidtz
