Humbly report, Ram, regarding examples of acquisitions, of the three you listed, IMRS and CBSL are both "body shops", so COGIF seems the closest point of reference. I humbly believe that the sequence of events leading up to the present position COGIF finds itself in, may be of interest to ALYD shareholders. Cognicase earnings and CC next Thursday, for details see #reply-4184097 . Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)

Ram-- as you stated it is important to know they have plans for beyond Y2K. It is just as important to investors to believe the price will increase or there will be no investors. Why pay 16 1/2 for a company that will be around but at 9, or at 5 after a split? Show them the money and what is going to be done with it....but they must show it first. Then and only then can an intelligent decision be made as to weather it makes sense to split or not based on if the "new" company will make money. First and foremost they need to see that they can make some now or there will be zero investors.

Re.: split and dilution More authorized shares should be of concern if the company does not know how to handle the shares. Some may be used for split. Split makes sense only when the company wants to re-distribute shares at a lower price. Personally, I do not care about splits because they do not make much difference. A share of Berkshire Hathaway is $68100 closed up $1800 last Friday. ALYD can let their share run up. More authorized shares will be good for acquisitions. Higher the price, the bigger the acquisition. Ram
