In light of the recent quarterly report, I think it foolish to predict future revenues/earnings. Why not wait and see? This way, one will not look like an ass (in the minds of both the longs as well as any new investors)if TSIG continues to fail............. JMHO, M

If you insist on continuing to make these predictions of future revenues and earnings I think you should include in them what percentage your previous predictions were overestimated by.

P.S. I still think Gordon and Henry are doing a great job putting their business plan into operation (still right on schedule).

Suzanne, Lots of different organizations within a school may need $$ for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes it's the grades themselves ( 9, 10, 11, 12 ) and sometimes it's clubs within the school. Sometimes parent booster clubs may be organized to raise $$ for various student groups so there are many different classifications of people within each school that may use the "mycard" program to raise $$. I think you will find that the parent booster clubs actually raise the most money cause most kids have better things to do with their time. It's the parents that do most of the selling whether it be to family members or fellow workers. Some parents are quite resourceful and sell large amounts of items so their kid can win some sort of prize and be in the top sellers. As in any sales mailing the number of replies to a first mailing will be only a small percentage. If personal contact is made in addition to the mailing than the percentage of replies increases. Once a return has been received from a prospect than that prospect has a higher rate of purchase. On average it takes a salesman seven phone calls to make a sale after the initial contact so I would give TSIG plenty of time to "nurture" these leads into "sales". I really don't think we can make too many projections yet as it is very early in the game and we are still trying to figure out what this beast is going to look like ( business model.....I know that was raw,sorry).
