Readhead, SAFS is definatly interesting. They have distribution arrangements in South America, Asia and Europe and are planning on bringing products to market in the third quarter of this year. Yahoo quotes has a price of 0 for the stock but I can't find any reference to the stock being halted or any reference that the co. has applied for a Nasdaq listing. I see that the Co. burned up money at quite a pace last year and is financing itself by issuing new shares through private placements. Another private placement is expected. Last year they burned almost 5 mil. and they issued about 3 million additional shares. There are currently about 12 million shares outstanding and they're authorized to issue an additional 25 million shares. Anyone else look this one over? Regarding your question on Dillard, they're selling debt to finance their acquisitions and the recent stock buyback program that they completed.
