>> IDA announced today that it has secured $1.25 million in
financing from the Bank of Montreal
Capital Corporation (BOM)

What justifies this investment???? Past performance????
Certainly NOT!!!!!!!

>> and an additional $250,000 from Capital Alliance Ventures
(CAV)

These guys must have the 'in for a penny, in for a pound'
mentality ... or else they're just plain foolish

>> $.35 per common share.

Heck, we can't even get much above THAT price.........

>> IDC, which has been established since 1984, is an
internationally recognized leader in the satellite
broadcasting industry.

On who's authority? (Their Own - No Doubt)

>> The Corporation has a proven reputation for

Take Your Pick -

A. Losing Money
B. Providing Minus Returns on Investment
C. Lack of Sales
D. All of the above (& more)

>> Mr. K.C. Lim of the BOM, stated that
''Our investment in IDC demonstrates our confidence
in their strategy, technology and business plan.

What business plan? Have you seen it? I certainly haven't...
What strategy? (It must be another secret as we
shareholders are never informed)
.....We should not assume that anything has changed

>> After conducting a thorough due diligence,
Translation: Is someone getting graft?

>> we concluded that this high-tech firm has everything
we look for in a company

Boy, do they have LOW Standards!

>> proven long-term performance

I'll agree with that (POOR)

>> products positioned to meet worldwide demand,

Companies haven't exactly been knocking down the door
with purchases (As share value indicates)

>> and a top-notch management team with a
solid vision of the future and how to get there.''

Wow, lots of notches (holes) in that statement - Where
did they dream up that conclusion???

>> Denzil Doyle, Chairman of the Board for CAV, stated that
''We are pleased to have the opportunity to make this
additional investment. IDC has been restructured
and has recently achieved a significant turnaround in its
performance.

Do you see any profits? (They must also be a secret so that
shareholders will not be the beneficiaries)

>> The Corporation has tremendous future growth potential
and we welcome the Bank of Montreal as a new investor
and as a partner.''

Are they going to use their investment as a tax write-off?

>> IDC President and CEO Ron Clifton stated,
''This investment is timely and significant for us.

That is an understatement

>> Not only does it provide additional financing for working
capital

Translation: We (management) can boost our pay and benefits

>> it also brings a new strategic partner into the Corporation.
The BOM (MOB) brings additional strength to our Board,
as well as broad international connections.

Translation : If IDA doesn't perform now, the MOB 'WILL"
take over

>> The additional investment by CAV is a welcome vote of
confidence for us.

Translation : CAV would have lost their investment without
additionnal support to IDA (Just like the previous major
shareholder)..... Do you see a pattern emerging???

I'll believe there's hope when the shares make large
gains to the upside, not with IDA'S empty promises
