LMW, I understand that, yes, Adam Arif does own a very large portion of the outstanding shares. Regarding your other question, I have asked the PR firm and they are not aware of any family relationship between Ira Monas and Arif Adam or the Adams family :-) Here is the text of the announcement they made when Ira became Pres. --------------------------------- NEW YORK, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Firamada, Inc.
