Selective Biographic Omission, or "Something Else" ?

biz.yahoo.com

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 1999--Perfumania, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRFM - news), the nation's largest perfumery chain, announced today the appointment of Rachmil Lekach as President of its newly formed Internet subsidiary, Perfumania.com.

Mr. Lekach joins Perfumania.com from Ocean Reef Capital Management where he was Chief Executive Officer. He has substantial experience in the fragrance industry and was co-founder and former Chief Operating Officer of Perfumania, Inc, and President and Director of Parlux Fragrances, Inc.

OK, that's fine, but omitted a significant chapter in this saga:

edgar-online.com
Miami, Florida, August 13, 1997 - L. Luria & Son, Inc. (Luria's) (NYSE:LUR)
L. Luria & Son, Inc. announced today that it has filed a case under Chapter 11
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Rachmil Lekach, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The decision to file (Chapter 11) was a very difficult one. The members of the new management team that have joined the Company since August 1996, at which time a change in control of the Company occurred, have not been able to reverse the losses and declining sales trends experienced by the Company prior to such time. Although the new management team has taken many of the steps set forth in a recovery plan previously announced, the Company has continued to experience difficulty meeting its debts as they
become due. The filing was precipitated by the Company's continuing sales decline, reduced borrowing capacity and deterioration of vendor support, which has made the process of implementing the recovery plan increasingly difficult. It was determined that in the overall interests of Luria's customers, vendors, employees and shareholders, this action was required. As the case goes forward, Luria's will continue to evaluate and take actions that serve the best interests of all parties."

The Company believes that the filing should allow Luria's to (i) relieve the
Company of burdensome obligations
under unfavorable store leases, (ii) realize
significant value in other below market long-term store leases, and (iii)
maximize the ultimate return to its creditors.

Just some background to ponder in this puzzle of inter-related companies, wonder if history will repeat ?

Open question - Was the PR firm paid in cash or shares ?

I don't make this stuff up, its all on public record.

Anthony, here's more data relating to Jay Fisk's last post:

LUR is no longer a NYSE symbol. I tried to get a quote and it isn't there. Chap. 11 , PROBABLY turned into Chap. 7. Whoops no, actually, now the symbol is LLUR and the 52 week range shows from 0.003 - 0.014.

I did a symbol lookup on Yahoo for this information. jimS

PRFM..Funny thing happened today

When I covered my short position today at 6 1/16 (3x in 2 days), I didn't get my confirm right away and ended up accidently hitting reload. OOPS! I ended up with 2 buys one to close my short and another going long. Well because my confirm never came, I didn't find out until later when I got thru to ETRADE on the phone.

Then Anthony posts something about a PR, and POW! There I am sitting on yet another bountiful harvest from PRFM.

Thanks Anthony, and all for the great call. This has been my most successful round of trading since I signed up with Etrade 1 year ago this month.

REO, waiting to do the big $$$$witcherooo

Another interesting follow-up to Jay Fisk's post a few posts back:

In June 1997, L Luria, et.al. posted an 8K listing a liquidation sale at nine of their locations. Then on 8 August 1997, the posted another 8K listing a liquidation sale in Eleven locations. Two weeks later a Chapter 11 8K is posted. All signed by, drum roll please: RACHMIL LEKACH! Let's hear it for the man who is going to make us all a lot of Dough, ray, for me! oh, yeah, well, us actually.

No mention in the PR about that, eh? jimS
