That isn't a conversation...did the damn secretary or some one else intercept the PR faxed???.... and fax it to you Bernie? Unbelievable... Bob Wright has no close association with either Martin Frankel or Rob Gordon. Period. I'd even be surprised if Bob could right a grammarically correct paragraph. z

Bob--> Thanks for the up date. I for one am very happy that the web site developement is being dropped. There was never a chance that this rinky dink division could compete against the slew of other companies out there. It has been my desire the whole time for them to concentrate on the Card business and the Music Card site. We should also save a ton of shares that the ex-employees will not be able to convert. freak!!

Bob, an interesting post, but I am not sure this is the right venue to let stockholder know that the company (once more) is changing direction. Changes of direction of such magnitude should be disseminated to all stock holders, not just the few privileged SI readers. It is also interesting that this venue is being used to once more hyping the stock by implying that the company really think that the card business will have $100 MM in revenue ("that are anticipated to come in by the end of the year"). Do you really believe this number? Did you count how many kids are required to generate these revenues out of the 50 MM total number of kids from Grade school to the end of high school?). I presume that this note was one way to let the stock holders that Hwang is no longer a part of the team and the e- so and e-so (the four e) mentioned so loudly just this weekend by an august poster on this thread, are no longer such an integrated approach to participation in the internet. What surprises me is that you did not bother to ask where did the additional 15 MM shares outstanding between 5/7/99 and 5/27/99 come from. Bob, I believe you are being used quite ruthlessly by Gordon, he does not mind if your neck will be entangled in the SEC's web, but this post, with so much material information could be a "causus Belli" for them to jump. Good luck Zeev

*CONVERSATION WITH GORDON** I spoke to Robert Gordon for about 20 minutes from about 10:30. This is what I was told according to the best of my recollections. TSIG will be going through a transition back to the core business plan that was the reason most of us invested in. The Card business will be again Again? What happened to the great plans we were all hyped about? getting the primary input of all efforts the company can muster. Gordon says he is excited with the changes that will be taking place Have any changes already taken place? And why isn't there a PR rather than you being used as a messenger? as the focus will allow the forecasted earnings breakeven point to likely stay intact. What was the earnings/breakeven point you spoke of? The overhead will be cut by over $150,000 through this transition as the online web development and design aspect of the business will be terminated and personnel changes will take place. The functions necessary for the operation of TSIG's needs will be done from the home office. What happened to the big deal Silicon Valley office you've been crowing about for the past 3 months? TSIG's needs taken care of from the home office? You've got to be kidding! When TSIG was doing their own web service does anyone here remember the results? The desire of key personnel to drop the card business, which surfaced in earnest about 2 months ago, in favor of going strictly into the other phase has created the need for these changes as the company cannot afford to stop 1 1/2 years of development toward the card business which is about to pay off and start into another field against the substantial competition being offered in the web design arena. The card business started about March last year, 14 months ago and has still not executed. The employees leaving the company are going to be those that wanted the company to totally change the focus and have the company start over in the other area. He says the departing employees will finish some existing projects before leaving and the transition should be over the next few weeks. So what you're saying is that management quit. Right? These are the people closest to RG, right? These are successful people with successful histories, right? And they are leaving because RG says they wanted to destroy the company, right? Wasn't this the scenario last January 1998 when Stephen McLean also left and set up another business. Wasn't he a loser by all accounts? Didn't TSIG take a 6% stake in SM's company to cover some lost opportunities that SM and group took out the door. Isn't that 6% the same stock that was sold by TSIG during the last quarter for about a 100% profit in less than a year according to the 10K filed in April? If that's so and if SM's group were destroying TSIG a year ago and left how come they are now succeeding by a 100% share price appreciation, and what is TSIG doing in comparison? Again, he stated with the difference in philosophy between himself and management these changes became necessary. He could not see dropping 100 million in revenues that are anticipated to come in by the end of the year to completely change the direction of the company. Staying on track is to be the focus to accomplish what is in place and what has been worked on for the last 1 1/2 years. $100,000,000 in revenues by year end? I have to agree with Zev, it looks like you are being used and may wind up in some deep difficulty. There is funding scheduled to come in addition to what has already been announced and due to be received starting this week. The rest should be in hand by the end of next month. This with what has already been committed to should be enough to fund TSIG until the revenues take over. More “inside” info? The business signed and contracted with others to come are to be developed and will be concentrated on to create the revenues necessary for this end. He brought up the desire to have a conference call to allow him to speak to the shareholders. He wants me to call him back tomorrow afternoon to see when the timing can be put in place. He wants to do it within the next week or so. I will follow up on this and let the shareholders know through this medium. He did say initially in our conversation he had received a call from someone representing himself to be close to Marty and was told that I am paid to manipulate the stock. I personally don't believe this for one minute. If you were smart enough to ask for payment you sure as hell would be smart enough to cover you're a$$ better than you do. We then continued with our conversation. Gordon is excited about developing the Signature, Lifetime Learning, TEMPO, Babe Ruth, 4-H, distributors, and getting as many of the other approximately 20 accounts in the pipeline completed as quickly as possible. There have already been over 400 schools that have called to commit to the Lifetime project. Lifetime told him this was probably the best initial response to any of their other projects. This gives a premature indication that this will be a very successful campaign. I neglected to bring up Marty's appointment to the board as I didn't have time to mention it and RG didn't bring it up either. We were talking of these other matters. I am left with the assumption he refused but confirmation still has to be made. I would have thought on reflection it would have come into the conversation if he had accepted. From the best of my recollections, Bob
