G:
You're right that we had been tracking IPJ for some time before the late fall and they've rebounded much better in the last two months. I suggest there are a few things going on here, the most significant being concern or a mixed reaction to our Convertible Debenture financing announcement on November 5. As I've said before, this was not something we wanted to do -- and this hesitation has been reenforced by a market which got even uglier subsequently -- but it makes business sense in the longer run to raise money when and where you can in difficult markets. Now we're just going for a lot less than we were.

I'd also point out that IPJ got a bit of a boost from their curious announcement that the COWs would be signed in December, an error which has never been retracted. In any case, while it was nice shadowing them for a while, they do have cash flow and they have a better cash position than do we.

My thoughts, for whatever they're worth.

Greg
