RE: sources of dilutionIn response to a post on the Raging Zoo  Now regarding Bernie's basic Investments,  the key to understanding the dilution is to note, if I'm not mistaken, that each 424B3 is pursuant to a 424 meaning  a prospectus supplement. Which, in turn, means each 424B3 represents a draw from the 10 mill dollar original PP. Thus the total  number of shares that passed through Bernie per each "traunch" or draw down is the total shares per each 424B3, which would be as follows: 424B3- Aug. 8, 1999 424B3- Oct. 27, 1999 424B3- March 17, 2000 or  Basic Investments Ltd. (3)........39,264,472   Basic Investments Ltd.............29,282,510   Basic Investments Ltd. ............3,748,282  =============================================== Total shares converted............72,295,264 per traunches or 424B3's This total doesn't include  3,500,000 shares which may be acquired pursuant to warrants owned as of  4/00 - 10 K filing Each 424B3  Includes (i) the number of shares issued or issuable upon  conversion of debentures, (ii) the number of shares issued  or issuable as payment of interest on the debentures,  (iii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon  exercise in full of the warrants, and (iv) the number of  shares issued or issuable to the selling securityholders  in lieu of certain penalties arising out of the debenture  documents because of delays in the filing and effectiveness  of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus  constitutes a part. So each 424B3 represents its own conversion and the time and need for additional operating money Now let's see how many shares not including warrants that Bernie had to vote at the share holder mtg per the 4/00 10k. 18,601,200 shares Thus according to this analysis, if I'm correct with my assumptions, Basic Investments aka "Bernie's company" and the thread idiots phone buddy and patron disposed of 53,694,064 shares that he converted. So how better than to distract attention away from this real source of dilution then to hire a mouth piece to promulgate a red herring. I'm backin' my claims with numbers from SEC docs. Bernie's boy has nothing but horse shiet. Again I'm not a professional SEC attorney, so these are not profesional opinions, they are just my simple minded thoughts instead. Take them, leave them, agree or disagree with them. Or ask a lot of questions and verify info on your own. Sincerely, z (spellin' not checked)ragingbull.com
