Nice conference call, strongly choreographed to provide a positive spin. Some tantalizing comments regarding deals "on the table", new information. Couldn't get a question in, although I tried. I heard Toby, though. Nice to hear Doug may appear "in person" on SI in March. I guess we stay tuned on that one.. Looks as though it'll be August before some of the assets (water park) are online long enough to begin to have a positive earnings impact. Doug indicated he expects +$.04/share, although no one asked whether that was quarterly or annual (I assume annual). He also talked quite a bit about getting on a major exchange, that the only thing holding them up from the AMEX was the stock price (what a surprise!). I didn't write down what he said regarding his expectations of when that should happen, but it sounded like the fall (this of course implies the stock would stay over $3 for 30 or more days consecutively). Net: Interesting enough to hold onto for another six months. And if I could get more for less than $.30, I would.

I always feel better after those conference calls. 4th and 1st qtr are behind us. Company goal is to make $0.04/share in earnings this year on $18 million in revenues. Water Wonderland will be open for Memorial Day Weekend. Not much time to get into bathing suit shape. Waterpark did $1.8 million last year, and didn't open till June, so potential is there for much more. PS&L doing good, but company is focusing on direct marketing towards bowling alleys, nightclubs, churches, and related industry publications, etc. Arlington Mall site never really got off the ground due to lack of financing, assets redeployed to Waterpark and some is apparently being targeted for an unannounced acquisition, presumably a family entertainment center of some sort. Someone asked if a rumor was true that the company was considering an acquisition that would double the size of the company. Doug said they were looking at several acquisitions, but would not confirm or deny the rumor. Next board meeting is March 2nd, may here something from that. Doug did say that their primary focus right now was to "focus and finish" existing projects and maximize return on existing assets. Redfish is doing well. Before the restaurant was acquired, it was doing around $18,000 on a good month. It did $40,000 this January alone. 1st calendar qtr (2nd fiscal quarter) shaping up to be a solid quarter. Cash flow has leveled off (after bleeding for a couple of quarters). PS&L is having its best quarter ever. Already starting to get 100-150 hits (per day, per week? didn't catch that part) on VisionQuest. Looking at getting a more accomplished auditing firm, Price Waterhouse and Manfred Lipenstein (not sure about the last one) were mentioned. If we're taking votes, I'll take Price Waterhouse. They are looking at soon introducing a web site that offers interactive internet entertainment that ties in with Stargate/Heroes. They are also looking into acquiring other entertainment-related web sites that would compliment the existing sites, but that sounded like it was in very preliminary stages. Gator

Hi room Everyone likes to kick me around when I post here, but really I don't care. I still have a large position in ETPI, and will still have it two years from now. But if you want to watch a couple stocks move watch "EINI & "CAGI". I've heard some of the hype personally from "Good Old Doug", but performance speaks a lot louder than words, so I don't need any more of "Good Old Doug"'s words of wit. I just need him to start working for the "OWNERS OF THE COMPANY". If you want a site with good information try: stocktalknews.com
