In the event the reverse stock split contemplated by the term sheet is completed, each shareholder will be entitled to receive the number of post-split common shares calculated by dividing their pre-split common share holdings by 1,000 and rounding down to the nearest whole number. If the total number of pre-split common shares that a shareholder holds is not evenly divisible by 1,000, the shareholder will receive cash equal to the fraction of a post-split common share that the shareholder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, multiplied by a value determined by the Company's board of directors to represent the approximate market value of 1,000 common shares prior to consummation of the split. Consummation of the reverse split would require the approval of the Company's shareholders. The Company anticipates that ERP2 will have sufficient voting power to assure that such shareholder approval will be obtained.
The Company anticipates that completion of the reverse split would reduce the number of holders of its common stock below 300, thereby allowing the Company to effect the deregistration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as required by the term sheet. If the Company's common stock is deregistered, the Company will no longer be subject to public reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any requirements to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Although the Company's common stock would no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board if deregistration occurs, the Company anticipates that its common stock would be quoted on the Pink Sheets immediately following any deregistration.
"This financing provides the Company with the necessary working capital to invest in our sales and marketing capabilities and explore new market opportunities with a view to accelerating conversion of our current pipeline of sales opportunities and building a strong pipeline for the future," stated Alan Kiraly, Chief Executive Officer. "The financing combined with extending the due date for the current demand notes to 2010 significantly strengthens our balance sheet. We estimate that as a result of the reverse stock split the Company will realize annual savings of approximately $500,000 by eliminating the legal, accounting, and other expenses associated with its public filings. We intend to deploy these savings by further investment in sales and marketing in an effort to expand our market footprint and accelerate revenue growth. We look forward to a successful and exciting fiscal 2008."
What is this "likely" manager type?
In the world of SEC registrants (especially LP and LLC), it is somewhat difficult to tell if an advisor/fund manager operates hedge fund(s) or mutual fund(s). On one hand, some management firms do both. On the other hand, there are technical issues that this information must be hard to obtain. Therefore, Fatpitch uses a probablistic algorithm to determine the likeliness of a hedge fund or mutual fund manager.
In the case of mutual fund
There are many layers of mandatory legal structure wrapped around the mutual fund industry. A mutual FUND is managed by an ADVISOR. Yet the FUND is registered under another TRUST. The ADVISOR may or may not be the CUSTODIAN of the FUND ASSET. The CUSTODIAN is often not the entity who files SC-13 form, which declares itself as the MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER of a publicly traded company. The MUTUAL FUND COMPANY operates and markets the mutual funds, but legally it is separated from the ADVISOR as well as the CUSTODIAN since the ASSET does not really belongs to the MUTUAL FUND COMPANY. Right?
On the flip side, no fund manager wants you to be able to track his/her portfolio. This is just the norm of the business. So in some cases, they are making this structure as complex as the regulation allows. (I am sorry to tell you this if this is new to you!)
Enterprise Informatics Executes Term Sheet Providing for $1,500,000 of New Debt Financing, a Reverse Stock Split and Deregistration
Wednesday January 16, 8:00 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 16, 2008 -- Enterprise Informatics, Inc. (OTC BB:EPRS.OB - News), a leading provider of enterprise information management solutions, today announced that it has entered into a term sheet for a financing transaction with ERP2 Holdings, LLC ("ERP2"), its majority shareholder. The term sheet provides that ERP2 will loan $1,500,000 to the Company. The loan will be secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, have a maturity date two years from the date of issuance and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The term sheet requires the Company to effect a 1000-to-1 reverse split of its common stock and the deregistration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by April 30, 2008.
ADVERTISEMENT
Of the $1,500,000 to be loaned by ERP2, an initial disbursement in the amount of $300,000 is to be loaned upon finalization and execution of definitive transaction documents. A second disbursement of $1,200,000 is conditioned upon completion of the 1000-to-1 reverse split and deregistration of the Company's common stock.
Upon execution of the term sheet, the Company issued to ERP2 a warrant with a per share exercise price of $0.08 and a 10-year term for the purchase of 17,175,971 shares of common stock. The term sheet provides that, upon the second disbursement of $1,200,000, the Company will issue to ERP2 warrants, each having a per share exercise price of $0.08 and a 10-year term, for the purchase of the aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to the greater of 26,735,508 shares of common stock and 20% of the fully diluted outstanding common stock as of the issuance date.
In addition, as required by the term sheet, the Company declared a dividend payable to ERP2 in the amount of 20,827,268 shares of common stock, in satisfaction of the entire amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (together with interest) on the shares of the Company's Series F Convertible Preferred Stock held by ERP2.
ERP2, which also holds secured demand notes, under which the aggregate amount payable by the Company including interest, as of December 31, 2007 was $693,000, has agreed to extend the maturity of such notes until the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the new notes.
Under the term sheet, so long as the new notes or the extended demand notes are outstanding, the Company is obligated to procure certain advisory and other services from ERP2 for aggregate compensation not to exceed $60,000 in any quarter. The term sheet also provides for the payment by the Company to ERP2 of a $75,000 closing fee and certain fees and expenses associated with the notes.
In the event the reverse stock split contemplated by the term sheet is completed, each shareholder will be entitled to receive the number of post-split common shares calculated by dividing their pre-split common share holdings by 1,000 and rounding down to the nearest whole number. If the total number of pre-split common shares that a shareholder holds is not evenly divisible by 1,000, the shareholder will receive cash equal to the fraction of a post-split common share that the shareholder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, multiplied by a value determined by the Company's board of directors to represent the approximate market value of 1,000 common shares prior to consummation of the split. Consummation of the reverse split would require the approval of the Company's shareholders. The Company anticipates that ERP2 will have sufficient voting power to assure that such shareholder approval will be obtained.
The Company anticipates that completion of the reverse split would reduce the number of holders of its common stock below 300, thereby allowing the Company to effect the deregistration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as required by the term sheet. If the Company's common stock is deregistered, the Company will no longer be subject to public reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any requirements to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Although the Company's common stock would no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board if deregistration occurs, the Company anticipates that its common stock would be quoted on the Pink Sheets immediately following any deregistration.
"This financing provides the Company with the necessary working capital to invest in our sales and marketing capabilities and explore new market opportunities with a view to accelerating conversion of our current pipeline of sales opportunities and building a strong pipeline for the future," stated Alan Kiraly, Chief Executive Officer.

Dart - The Case for EPRS..
You are probably right that tomorrow will be a "blood bath" for EPRS... HOWEVER, this is one I will buy during that time rather than try to sell.
I fully realize you are living on the TA. In this case, I'm looking at the merit of the value.
This company turned to profitable a few months ago. Then, a lender made an offer (greedy is a kind word for it) that included a provision to take the company private.
They PR'd the lending info along with a "plan" to do a R/S of 1000 to 1 as part of a method to pass the requirements of SEC Rule 12g5-1 (maximum of 300 shareholders)... and the price started falling like a ROCK...
HOWEVER, as evidenced by volume on Feb 8th, there is now the probability (IMO) that the SEC will scuttle their plan and prevent the nonsense. So, we have a major gain due for going profitable and a major recovery due for the R/S and privitizing matter.
IMO... this is a BUY until it reaches the .15 cent range and then perhaps a hold for closer to .50 cents.
As further background, the "FINAL REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON SMALLER PUBLIC COMPANIES TO THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION" recommended to: "Amend SEC Rule 12g5-1 to interpret “held of record” in Exchange Act Sections. 12(g) and 15(d) to mean held by actual beneficial holders..."
This means the SEC will frown on attempts to remove shareholders and then use the "street name" argument to sell the fact there are less than three hundred when there are probably thousands of "beneficial holders" and THE NUMBER IS GROWING.
AJMO - GLTA and go EPRS
FLYING HIGH... No one seems to even know this stock is alive and well as Enterprise Informatics.
After careful review I'm convinced this "going private" effort will NOT pass muster with the SEC. This is a major breakout and it will fly... earnings and cheap, what a nice combo.
GLTA
i had no idea we had a ticker change coming. weird.
looking for some more action today. get ready!!!!!
Spescom Software Announces First Quarter 2007 Results
Feb 14, 2007 08:00:25 (ET)
SAN DIEGO, CA, Feb 14, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Highlights:
Revenue up 9% vs. previous quarter
EBITDA up $260,000 vs. previous quarter
Backlog up 60% vs. previous quarter
Spescom Software Inc. (SPCO, Trade ), a leading provider of enterprise information management solutions, today reported results of operations for its first quarter of fiscal 2007 ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues for the first quarter of FY2007 were $1.73 million versus $1.58 million reported in the previous quarter and $1.83 million in the same period a year ago. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization excluding stock compensation ("EBITDA") for the first quarter of FY2007 were $100,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with a loss of ($160,000) or ($0.00) per share the previous quarter and a loss of ($48,000), or ($0.00) per share, for the same quarter a year ago.
Net loss available to common shareholders was ($117,000) or ($0.00) per share for the first quarter of FY 2007 after cumulative preferred dividends of $66,000 versus a net loss in the previous quarter of ($370,000) or ($ 0.01) per share after cumulative preferred dividends of $71,000. The net loss was ($767,000), or ($0.02) per share in the prior year after deemed and cumulative preferred dividends of $588,000.
Deferred revenue increased to $5.1 million at December 31, 2006 from $2.8 million at the end of FY 2006. In addition, the company's contract backlog, which includes deferred revenue, was $6.7 million at December 31, 2006 versus $4.2 million at September 30, 2006. The significant increase was primarily due to the $2.0 million license contract announced last October.
"Achieving positive EBITDA is a significant accomplishment and confirms that we are on the proper track," stated Alan Kiraly, Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, the balance sheet was significantly strengthened by the $2.0 million license contract signed during the quarter. That sale enabled us to reduce our debt and close the quarter with $1.3 million in cash."
"Operationally we continue to capitalize on our success in the Nuclear Energy market as demonstrated by the recently announced contract with Nuclear Fuel Services. We continue to expand our product footprint in long term customer accounts such as Network Rail, which owns and operates the rail infrastructure in the UK and JEA, the eighth-largest community-owned utility in the US. From a marketing and sales perspective, our efforts remain focused on the nuclear and city/county government markets where meeting compliance requirements is critical. Finally, we anticipate a broader industry awareness of the eB product suite as we participate in the Microsoft Vista product launch and leverage our Gold Partner status."

Hi -
FWIW -- I've reviewed this stock and decided to start building a long term position. The technology is right, the products seem to have a good foundation, there are signs of acceptance and the market niche is not center-line or large enough to be threatened by major firms. IMO this could provide a capable firm with a nice base niche for further horizontal market penetration and overall growth.
