Dan and Howard
The following appeared in Gum's release
''We are pleased with our continued progress in increasing net sales
on a year-to-year basis. Sales of Zicam(TM) were as expected. As noted at the end of
the last reporting period, we anticipate that increasing sales of Zicam(TM) will start to be
reflected in the third quarter.''

Key statement is Zicam sales were as expected. Someone should ask GUMM mgmt what they expect in the 3rd and 4th qtr, given their smug confidence on "hitting the numbers" and given many a investor in GUMM is counting on Zicam to justify the stock price.
GUMM investors should ask mgmt to share their projections with them (revenue and operating profit) and lend objectivity to the share ownership issue, otherwise unrealstic expectations drive price and opportunistic "insiders" are the benificaries.
Best Regards,
Mad2

Dear pz: Sales of Zicam were "AS EXPECTED???". Seems to me a lousy $100,000 is NOT much to expect. I find it hard to believe they have all the outlets they say they have and such small sales. Maybe its all SAMPLES. JDN
