David Packer, I'm the spokeswoman for a women's investment group known as the Nightingales, we are 43 nurses that attended the same nursing school and are now working throughout the U.S. and Canada.My original post was intended to get some of you men to take a different perspective on this subject. Chirodoc, don't get all flustered, of course it was an exaggeration, but it got your attention - didn't it. Listed below is a series of questions that we want answered as soon as this quiet period is over, by the way when will that be? These are questions that anybody would want to know if they are going to invest. As far as I'm concerned you should consider these questions as being representative of what all investors want to know. 1)Do you build this equipment yourself or is there a manufacturing facility? 2)If you don't build this equipment then who does or will? 3)Is any of the $7 million going towards building equipment? 4)Do you have service technicans for this equipment or are they contracted? 5)Do you carry liability for the equipment? 6)Are you going to sell the equipment outright or are you going to lease it. 7)If you are going to sell it do you have a sales force or will you use a contracted sales force? 8)If you lease the equipment will you lease it directly or go through a leasing agency? 9) Why haven't you sold anything so far, are there reasons that shareholders should know about? 10)Who is your target market for this equipment? 11)Are you currently working on any other customers than those mentioned in your letter? 12)If you sell the equipment outright what will the price tag be and what will your gross margins be? 13)If you lease the equipment what type of minimium revenues will come from each machine? 14) Do you have any indications of interest from any hospitals, hmo's,or clinics in the U.S. or Canada right now. If not why not? 15) How many pieces of equipment can you build and in what time frame? 16) How do you plan of overcome the budgetary restraints that every hospital is going thru now to get a new piece of equipment purchased? 17) Why haven't there been any articles published about this apllication of thermography in any of the medical journals. Doctors can publish papers seperate of any FDA aprroval, there are no restrictions, so why no papers.? 18) How do you plan to get the word out after the FDA approval. The FDA approval is not a magic wand that will automatically will produce sales? 19)Are the members of CTI $ TMI's board passive or do they have an active roll in building this company. If it is an active roll what are they doing? 20)Do you have any employees in this company or is it just David Johnson $ David Packer? 21)How do you plan to get insurance companies to cover this as aclaim, that will be important if you want women to hav e this procedure done? 22)Are you working with any women's groups or national health organizations to promote this procedure? 23)How do you plan to let the general public know that this screening process is available? 24) How do plan to market this globally. China is not the only market outside of North America? 25) $7 million dollars can't possibly be enough money to finalize the trials, start building equipment and launch a major awareness campaign to the medical profession and the public. What are you going to do for additional funding? We are trying to good solid information on the direction of this company. The Nightingales have read various pieces of information about the company and feel that this could very well be a major investment oppurtunity. Any of you that are investors or potential investors should be asking this information of a start up company. We need to know how you plan to bring this important technolgy to market. By the way we all work in hospitals, hmo's,clinics or doctors offices and have contact with a lot of doctors, nurses and patients. We all know how word of mouth works so it would be well worth your time Mr. Packer to respond to these questions for us and for the rest of the shareholders and potential shareholders. We look forward to your response. Barbara
