In September 1998, the Company sold approximately $13,000,000 of equipment to Crescent Communications, Inc. ("Crescent") through a third party leasing arrangement. In addition to the cash proceeds, the Company received an approximately 20 percent ownership interest in Crescent and the Company entered into a maintenance and service agreement with Crescent. The Company has deferred recognition of approximately $2.5 million of this sale related to its equity interest in the buyer and amounts reserved for service contingencies. The entire cash proceeds related to the sale were collected prior to September 30, 1998. In September 1998, the Company acquired a 19.9% equity position in Crescent Communications, Inc. ("Crescent"). Crescent is headquartered in California and was formed to provide primarily wholesale telecommunication services to select international markets. The Company acquired this minority interest for the sum of $1,300,000 represented by a cash payment of $400,000 to Crescent and $900,000 in the form of a discount granted on equipment sold to Crescent in September 1998.

Hi DAISY MAE, I think you are operating under a misunderstanding of Anthony's proposed levels. The $1000/month level appears to be an invitation for other "gurus" who want to start their own private threads (and maybe to charge their own subscription fees to their readers). I do not believe it is Anthony's intention for the $1000 level to get prior notice of trades before his $400 subscribers. Anthony's $400 level collapses what was previously announced as two levels --$300 and $500/mo. The distinction was online picks on the site vs online picks via pager. I suggested privately that the delivery method might not be the fairest way to make a pricing distinction -- the value was in the timeliness of the picks, not the way the information was delivered. A text message sent to a pager is just an email. The extra charge for paging in fact discriminated against the subscribers who hold day jobs, and may in fact have smaller trading accounts than the full-time traders. I never heard from Tony about this suggestion, but the current pricing plan seems to have been a positive response to it. I'm sure we'll get an official clarification on this -- Tony has clearly (and understandably) had other things on his mind for several days... Alan
