Though I share your concerns about the LT debt, you shouldn't post falsehoods. The share increase went from 27 post r/s then to 31 post r/s to cover outstanding options. The next increase was documented and due to the GS reverse merger which accounted for 45 mill share with 37 mil held by management and restricted bringing the total OS to approx 76 million. Again an announcement was made that due to the acquisition of Affinity there would be a 30% increase due to the 30% ownership of Affinity resulting in the current and stable count of just under 114,000,000 Even with a price of 10 cent that would unfortunately add approx. 30 mill conversion shares leading to an OS of approx. 144,000,000 which is just slightly higher than the bogus number of 139,000,000 you reported on 12/16/00 and I corrected on 12/19/00 As Baldy noted, even with that many conversion shares there is NO pressure to raise the authorized or do another r/s because of the authorized ....144 mil OS isn't even half the authorized 300 mil. Again did you purposely lie about your 139 number? And why the histrionic statement about the share count raising "every day" as well as the drama queen language of another r/s because of the authorized ceiling? Why are you using such false misleading sentiments and histrionic language? To me this borders on an a specific intent to manipulate share price and share holder interest. Maybe your actions should again be scrutinized by the SEC. When you consider that almost all outstanding options are priced over a dollar with most being in the $1.40 range, options are worthless. Because what option holder in his right mind would exercise his option and buy shares at nearly three and a half the market price? Or in other words, exercise of options are not a source of dilution .....unless like others have demonstrated here before....do you also not know what options are? Anyway 'nuff said.
