My two Canadian roommates say "hi" to ya, BlueFox. Once again, where in Canada are you? Deborah's from Montreal and Marcia's from New Brunswick. Now, back to Zulu: >>>PartyTime: Besides, anyone investing in this company would do so precisely because it is a growing company and not one which has already achieved pubity. >>>BlueFox: Growing? 38MM 1997 to what in 1998? Far less. We can be pretty sure that measuring this quarter, in which there was no service for a while, against the previous quarter will show a continued shrinking of sales and customer base. That is not growing. In a sector where investors expect to see 30-50% growth per quarter, they'll be real shy of a company that is shrinking. Well, remember BlueFox. When Zulu bought SIM it immediately claimed its revenues for '97. In the audit analysis of those revenues, it turned out SIM gave away the store for some valued clients. Sure the '98 reorg shows cost-cutting, slashing, reduced revenue and all kinds of things. But if and when a new entity comes on board, those revenues will be added into the pie. So it's still a stay-tuned scene, in my view. >>>PartyTime: So if the ESVS/ZULU consortium continues to grow in OTC Land, the ex-SIMer piece of the pie gets smaller and smaller in terms of its force of representation in the larger picture. Doesn't it?<<< >>>BlueFox: Huh? Basic math PT: if they own 5% or 50% of the company, it doesn't matter what size it is, they still have the same representation. The only way for the "ex-SIMer" to be screwed is to screw all ZULU shareholders.<<< The exSIMers owned 20% of ZuluMedia which becomes a smaller percentage in the overall Zulu-tek pie. If Zulu-tek, with the addition of ESVS and others becomes bigger, the share of the pie owned by the exSIMers becomes a smaller percentage. Isn't that the way it works? >>>PartyTime: Remember, the ex-SIMers could only protest what involved ZuluMedia, not what involved Zulu-tek.<<< >>>BlueFox: Why? They hold ZULU preferred shares.<<< I was quoting from comments of Bob Smith saying he didn't think the ex-SIMMers could block the merger with ESVS, since it was all of Zulu-tek that was merging, and not simply the ZuluMedia component. But who knows what happened, at this stage? So I guess, presently, we're all still left scratching our heads. Let's hope we don't all go bald before this saga finishes. Hope you had fun this week!
