Mr. whitman, turned a million dollar loss per year at The Citizen to positive cash in just 63 days.
Chronicle is aggressively and successfully acquiring companies. The recent acquisitions have assets in excess of 5 million dollars and will put Chronicle very close to NASDAQ Small Cap Qualifying standards. They have a small float of 900k and 2.7 million outstanding shares in which 90% is held on the inside.
Look for announcements on funding which will be structured in a way that won't add to share dilution.
Look for multiple PRs on additional acquisitions over the next couple of weeks.
Year end results will begin on November 9, 1998 and Mr. Whitman anticipates year ended September 30, 1998 revenues to show a gain of 310% over year ended September 30, 1997 or $2,043,000.
