Thanks trading fool. Some of the security I have added to my system must be blocking it. I'll have to fix something at my end.

Yes. It opens.
Hi guys. If anyone happens to be around today -
I can't go beyond the initial page on the SEDI site.
http://www.sedi.ca/
Would you go to the site and click on the English or French link and let me know if the site opens for you.
Thanks.

Should be interesting to see how this market shakes out in the SEDI report the next few weeks.

OSC STAFF LACKS ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
Who Are We?
We are six shareowners and a former director of a Canadian public company. We are inviting investors, independent directors and the general public to attend an Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") hearing scheduled for December 2 to 4, 2003. It will be at The Harry S. Bray Hearing Room, Ontario Securities Commission, Suite 1700, 20 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3S8. At this hearing, we will seek accountability from the OSC for its enforcement process.
We do not believe that our group is alone in being dissatisfied with the lack of enforcement, non-transparency and non-accountability of the OSC Enforcement Staff. We would greatly appreciate your attendance and/or your submissions on any day at the OSC motion hearing from December 2 to 4, 2003.
Description of Our OSC Application
Our application for a hearing before OSC Commissioners seeks an order for a retroactive issuer bid to be provided to all Ontario shareowners. We also seek to have the OSC implement sanctions on the issuer and the selling insiders for their non-compliance with the issuer bid and related public disclosure requirements. The OSC Staff decision to close its enforcement file on the matter is a decision that has been made in bad faith and with poor workmanship. The OSC Staff has acknowledged in writing that non-compliant issuer bids occurred, but it found insufficient material public interest to deploy its limited enforcement resources for sanctions.
The OSC Staff has filed a motion seeking dismissal of our application on grounds that shareholders should address past illegal issuer bids and omitted public disclosure in the court, and not before the OSC. The OSC Staff argues that affected shareowners may not directly ask the OSC Commissioners to hold a hearing for sanctions. The OSC Executive Director has refused to provide the written notice of his decision to close the enforcement file, which would enable us to have the unfettered right to a hearing under Part V Section 8 (2). In any case, it is the position of the OSC Staff that any decision to close an enforcement file is not a decision that may be the subject of a review hearing under Part V Section 8 (2).
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has alleged that Martha Stewart made ill-gotten gains of $45,000 on a $240,000 sale of Imclone Systems Inc. shares, based on insider information. In this case, there was over $530,000 of ill-gotten gains on $710,000 of Technovision Systems Inc. shares sold by six insiders possessing insider information. This is a public company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The company issued numerous false press releases to public investors and to 28 Internet Service Providers across Canada about creating a national internet services company. These 28 Internet Service Providers had combined revenues of $40 million and cash flow of $6 million. The consortium of companies had been backed by a $60 million Telus Corporation networking supplier contract and a $10 million ear-marked Royal Bank loan. The six insiders are prominent Canadian lawyers, chartered accountants and businessmen. One of the OSC applicants is myself, a former director of Technovision. I was the whistleblower on the press release misrepresentation, stock trade manipulation and the illegal insider trades with the company. I have twenty-three years of experience in the Canadian securities industry, including business and policy development at the Toronto Stock Exchange and head of equities research and a partner and director of two Canadian investment banks.
Failure to Enforce the Filing of Insider Trading Reports
The applicants filed a motion for the OSC to enforce the requirement for the insiders to file the insider trading reports. The OSC and BCSC Staff and now Commissioner Lorne Morphy, the OSC Pre-Hearing Commissioner, are not enforcing the filing of the insider trading reports. The OSC Staff counsel submits that our request for an independent valuation and the filing of insider trading reports, has no relevance to the Staff’s dismissal motion and that our application for this information is frivolous and vexatious or an abuse of the Commission’s process.
We are dismayed by the OSC Staff position and surprised by Commissioner Morphy’s willingness to defer enforcing the filing of insider trading reports, in light of Canada’s serious insider trading problem.
Summary of Hearing Issues
• The applicants requested information on the criteria that the Commission uses in deciding whether or not to take enforcement action, such as the definition of private dispute between shareowners and a public company; the definition of a technical breach of the OSA, and the definition of Ontario public interest. The answer received from OSC Staff counsel was, “the bulk of the "evidence" you request does not exist. The balance is either irrelevant to these proceedings or is not discloseable to you. Accordingly, I am unable to comply with your Request for further evidence.”
• There should be no dismissal of applications from directors and shareowners, without the OSC first enforcing critical public disclosures, such as independent valuations and filing of insider trading reports.
• The OSC should be supporting directors' efforts to have a company and its insiders meet securities laws, especially public disclosure in information circulars.
• The OSC Executive Director has too much power over selecting who is not to be sanctioned and denying the right to review hearings on his decisions by not providing written notices on the closing of enforcement files.
• The OSC Commissioners (or some other external mechanism) must ensure that adequate and effective securities enforcement services are provided in a fair and accountable manner.

Versatile Mobile Systems Continues Growth Trend in Q1
2004 and Records First Quarterly Profit
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Versatile Mobile Systems (Canada)
Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange symbol: VMS), a leading mobile
commerce solutions provider, today announced its first quarter
results for the period ended September 30, 2003.
"During the quarter, we were able to achieve profitability,
increase our working capital position and generate positive cash
flow from continuing operations," said John Hardy, Versatile
Mobile's CEO. "We increased revenues, managed our expenses and
achieved profitability ahead of our 2004 fiscal plan. We hired
additional sales representatives and focused our resources on our
core intellectual property. We will continue to cautiously invest
in our initiatives for the balance of the year with the objective
of maintaining profitable operations."
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was $5,225,720
compared to $4,728,946 for the same quarter last year. The Net
Earnings for the quarter were $143,964 ($0.00 per share) compared
to a loss of $781,592 ($0.01 per share) in the same quarter last
year. The Net Earnings is after non-cash charges for depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets of $86,028 for the quarter
compared to $139,508 last year.
Revenue increased by $496,774 over the same quarter last year as
a result of a general increase in activity in our market and
increased orders from existing customers. Sales in the period
were impacted by a decline of over 10% in the foreign exchange
rate with a proportionate impact on cost of sales and expenses.
Cost of sales for the quarter were $3,404,280 resulting in a
gross profit of 34.9% as compared to $3,134,699 resulting in a
gross profit of 33.7% in the same quarter last year. The increase
in the gross profit percentage compared to last year can be
attributed to a slight decrease in competitive pressure in our
market.
General and administrative costs were $718,010 for the quarter as
compared to $790,933 for the same quarter last year. Costs were
lower due to a reduction in professional fees and investor
relation costs. Management expects general and administrative
costs to continue to run at the same level as this quarter for
the balance of the year as there are no material changes in staff
levels or other costs expected.
Research and development costs were $243,790 for the quarter as
compared to $822,209 for the same quarter last year, which
included one time termination costs. The level of in house
activity in research and development has decreased as the company
had substantially completed its research and development
initiatives by the end of the previous fiscal year. Staffing
levels were reduced over the course of the prior year and the
company expects these costs to continue at these levels for the
remainder of this fiscal year. During the quarter the Company:
- Upgraded VM Pre-Sales (TM) for Pocket PC (TM),
- Launched VM Route Sales Lite (TM) for Pocket PC (TM), and
- Expanded Mobile Ranger's (TM) capabilities by adding GPRS and
GSM to meet customer requirements.
Selling and marketing costs for the quarter were $635,663
compared to $712,644 for the same quarter last year. The decrease
is attributable to lower salary and travel costs. These lower
costs were a result of the company refocusing its sales
activities on existing customers and recurring orders. Management
expects selling and marketing costs, excluding commissions that
vary with sales, to increase from this quarter over the balance
of the year. As a result of improving market conditions the
Company hired three (two in the U.S. and one in the UK)
additional senior sales people during the quarter. The Company
will continue to add sales and marketing resources to expand our
market share.
Working capital at September 30, 2003 was $1,317,861 compared to
$1,157,591 at June 30, 2003 an increase of $160,270. Cash and
cash equivalents at September 30, 2003 amounted to $831,909. The
ability of the Company to continue operations on an ongoing basis
will be dependent on its ability to maintain profitable
operations, continue to generate sales, maintain its margins and
control operating expenses. The company has cash on hand and
accounts receivable sufficient for the company to meet all of its
current obligations as they become due.
Cash generated from continuing operations for the quarter was
$213,693 compared to cash required to fund continuing operations
of $507,164 for the same quarter last year. An additional
$480,648 was required to fund non-cash working capital, compared
to $491,762 for the same quarter last year.

VMS volume picking up for another run?
Me scanning and posting the SEDI reports:
Any future insider insights from me will appear on my board
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=2004
SEM from the company website:
-Production up 25% from Q3 2002
-Cash flow up 13% from Q3 2002
-Annualized Q2 earnings flat from Q3 2002
-Issues to address are production volatility and lack of organic production growth.
Production volatility might explain the share price volatility. Improved organic production may explain insider buying, they are drilling 40 wells now and they state they will limit volume forecasts until the program is near completion. The numbers above are as good or better than last year, it should repeat.
I looked at SEDI and I show on 09-05 Brian Lavergne holding 26.5k that he paid $8.00 for. By 09-25 he had 116.5k that makes 89k added. Then from 09-08 he bought for his RRSP up to 10-01 24k. 89k+24k=115k@$5.20(avg)=$600k. Add in the 26.5k@$8.00 and were over $800k.
Also Raymond Woods bought 4k@6.10=$24.4k on 07-11/16.
From the company website:
Brian P. Lavergne, Chief Operating Officer

He joined Storm Energy Inc. in 1999 as Vice President, Production and became Chief Operating Officer of Storm Energy Ltd. in 2003.
<edit> Where did he get the money? Answer: by shrewd insider trading while at Renaissance Energy. Conclution: he is doing the same again with Storm.
Raymond I. Woods, Director

<edit> this guy knows the business
I wonder what caused the dip? Half a million worth of stock is an impressive insider buy. So you think it will follow the same pattern as last year?
I see SEM was at $5.10 last Oct. and ramped up to $6.65 by Dec.
