>>>Bingo halls to be added in 98=36 (total of fifty by Year end)

Ok, I wasn't going to post for a while but I couldn't let this one slide:

In July/August of last year AB&G was still promising 25-30 bingo halls by year-end. And even as late as November they were still promising 25. Instead, we ended the year with 14.

They haven't acquired any bingo halls in months; they passed on Maryland; they passed on Mississippi; they have been promising Canada for well over a year. They have been sitting on that warrant call money for 2 months now without making a single purchase. Recall that at the Q3 conference call (about 4 months ago), they bragged about the heavy "deal flow" that they had to choose from. I believe the claim was 18 total bingo halls that were in various stages of DD (now it's "10 to 15"). I remember someone proclaiming words to the effect: "so as you can see, we are ready to put those warrant redemption proceeds to work". You seen any new bingo acquisitions lately?

Given management's deal-making track record, your assumption of 50 bingo halls by year-end seems foolish.

Joe,

I am sorry, but with all the time I spent today on talking with JTO and posting my remarks, I have not had time to examine your post in detail. If it makes you feel any better, I sent a letter to Greg Wilson stating they should buy back $1,000,000 worth of stock to send a message to the shareholders that the stock was undervalued. I have not done a study on your post, but a quick read indicates no holes that I can find. Please forward it to JTO for his comments. He would know better than I whether or not it makes sense.

Thanks for your contribution.
