Hi bob Thanks for the report. I always enjoy reading your posts and sharing in your enthusiasm for tsig. I think that all of us on this board need to realize that you have contributed a great deal of your time in tsig and have done a excellent job of sharing your dd. While your exuberance sometimes is interpreted as hype one has to realize that you are as I. Merely someone that gets excited about the future prospects and wishes to share his exuberance. IMHO, you have taken by far to much flack off of this board for doing the things that this board is to be dedicated to, which is the discussion of our investment. In other words, the messenger should not be shot. Whether he brings good news or bad news. Thanks again Steven J Lafferty

Bob, I have some idea of how much time it takes to go to a meeting, take notes, and compile the notes into a readable post. You have been most generous is sharing your DD. I really, really wanted to go to that meeting, but wasn't able to work it out due to the short notice. I personally appreciate your time and effort in making the report. Here's to better times ahead! Regards, Suzanne

Bob, Absolutely a great job. Your commitment and objective focus regarding TSIG are very much appreciated. I don't have the time or patience to do the DD at the level of Suzzane and you, but try to make up for it by using common business sense. I posted several days before the SH meeting that there were too many positive things happening with TSIG, a company that many people on this thread had left for dead. Your report on the ongoing activity with the TSIG business partners really validated my instincts. Correct me if I missed something, but your report made no mention on any of those business partners looking to get out of their previously contracted relationships. It read more like they were looking to extend those relationships. I seem to remember some discussion on this thread about those partners wanting to bail out at the first opportunity. Another thing. My take on your report was that only ONE of a number of varied investors had played the shorting game with the floorless arrangement, when it would have been easy pickings for any of them to have their own agenda and make some fast money. My recollection from this thread is that certain concerned people devoted huge amounts of their personal time telling us that the majority of the PP folks were playing this game and doom was imminent. Believe it! Businesses almost never recover from these situations! The dumb shareholders were suckers being easily swayed by devious management! Interesting, now that we can see almost all of the inside people are committed to success of TSIG, and put their money where their mouths are. There doesn't appear to be any "everybody for themselves" panic. The partnership list continues to grow. So, as others have done on this thread, please allow me to make some predictions (this is especially for my friends Fred and Jeff): 1. TSIG is going to fail, we will lose all our money, and wake up January 1, 2000 and have left-over fruitcake for breakfast. -or- 2. All of us who hung in and maybe bought some more shares in the last three weeks are going to make a reasonable profit on TSIG and feel pretty good about ourselves. -or- 3. All of us who hung in discover we stepped in cow droppings and soon realize that we are a part of one of the largest leveraged investment opportunities ever. We become very popular and all our friends hang around and mooch off of us. I can live with all three. For now, I'm going to have pizza for dinner. John p.s. Marty, if you're out there,"you da man"! When this thing gets back over 50 cents, please come back and visit with us.

There are a couple of points I wanted to expand upon. 1. Starting an outbound marketing effort. Of course small now. Initially sounds like for LL. I've been wanting this for a very long time. RG said they are going to use the call center to make contact within the various contracts. He plans to initiate the outreach pretty soon. He thinks to run it for about 90 days and have initially about 5 phones working 9AM-9PM. It will probably involve 10-15 people. This would allow the company to make contact with the individual within the school, the Babe Ruth league president, etc. IMO paragraph, These deals mostly are not strictly run from a headquarters fundraising wise. There are numerous outsites and each is run closely from that site with guidelines from above, such as goals. Many of them make their own decisions how they will conduct their fund raising campaigns. The personal contact would be established at the lower level identifying TSIG and participation levels would also increase due to the explanatory contact from the supplying company. 2. The response to LL is better than expected to date. Approximately (over) 2500 schools have expressed an interest so far. 1400 to TSIG 400 to NMF ? to LL Lifetime says this is an unusually high response so far in relation to other offerings they have made and is extremely pleased and optomistic. It has the earmarks, so far, to exceed their estimates. RG says that if we only get 10% of the schools and they only do a minimum projection TSIG will debt free and profitable. I think he was and is a little excited with this one and IMO rightly so. I think RG said the best LL has had with participation is 28%. 3. They now have the contact list for the approx 7,000 league presidents in the Babe Ruth League and can hopefully implement the Jan drive in a proper manner. In my opinion this was one of the major downfalls of the initial effort. That is why I wanted the outreach program (outbound marketing) 6 months ago but the list was elusive. He stated it was very difficult to do anything due to the lack of internet capabilities of the leagues, no contact list, and time. They also were in the middle of the new site construction and expansion. They are now refocused and have the equipment so now preparations can be done. 4. Just a little something I noticed from the last time I was in the home office (yes, I and JWC stopped in for a few minutes before the meeting), I thought there were a few more operators on duty and I always try and count. I suspect the business is picking up a little. Trying to stay neutral but looking good. I just need to see the financing. Bob

Bob, please clarify the following. <<The bad guy in the PP that has been doing most of the damage has about $275-300,000 left to divest. He was the largest investor.>> According to my understanding, Basic Investments is the largest PP investor and the former president of Basic Investments is Mr. LeShufy who now sits on the Board of Directors of TSIG. Mr. LeShufy recently loaned an additional $ 800,000 to TSIG using the existing PP terms and conditions according to a recent post... www3.techstocks.com Question: (1) Is Mr. LeShufy or Basic Investments the "bad guy" you are referring to ? If not - who is it ? (2) If so, is the $ 800,000 included in the figures you mentioned ? (3) Was it clarified at the meeting whether someone on the Board of Directors of TSIG was allowed to short the stock ? Regards, Phil
