I think the letter you posted to Mr. Sibbett expresses very well the concrens that most of us have. I think you did a good job of outlining the issues without getting overly personal or accusative, at this point - I like that because we do not know whether or not the final outcome of Gene's restructuring will turn out to be for us or against us - the letter from Gene did not tell us that.
JMHO

What was the OS the last time someone checked with the TA? Just wondering whether some of the company share buyback might be reflected yet.
I am happy with the news release today. It once again confirms that we are on track and that we have huge potential in EXPH. I am glad I have a chunk, and that I added some more today.
NLion
I maintain hope as well...if Gene was trying to ride off into the sunset, we wouldn't be hearing from him still, IMO.
I would like to believe that Gene does have our interests at heart, like he has said. His efforts to do right by us in the past have not materialized, partly because they were not well planned out, and partly because so much turned out differently than anyone expected, including Gene.
In saying that, I am not excusing poor performance, but that is now water under the bridge - we cannot reverse the past. Nevertheless, failures in the past do not stand in the way of doing things right in the present and in the future, and I am more than willing to forgive and move on if things are done honourably and right with our interests in mind.
JMHO.
NLion
Thanks Cat!
Add me to the roll call, FBS....
Thanks for all of your efforts to keep the information flowing... much appreciated.
Hi Bee,
Our voyage is well underway.... soon wind will fill the sails and we will be moving....
Hi Starnes and all.... nice to read your posts and to know we are all still sailing in the same direction...
To any anyone wondering about the value of this play, can it be said any better than what Chevy has just outlined in the previous post? I agree 100% with him on this play, and have supported my thoughts with my actions - I have bought a boatload (sorry, I am not telling you how big my boat is, but it is definitely not a dinghy). If I could, I would buy more...but eventually everyone will run out of funds to do that, and I have. My funds are all in play. But, I think than anyone buying into MTRE now at these price levels is getting themselves a steal of a deal.... JMHO.

JCDS dropped from Naked Short Sellers list in August:
http://www.wabalaba.com/sholist.cfm
see #275 (Aug 12/08).
unluckyami....did you have exactly 200,000 shares to start with or was that an approximate number.... if the actual was a bit higher than that, so that the math of the RS gave you 100 plus a fractional share, it could be that they decided to round up instead of down and that would explain the extra share - just a thought.
We shall see by and by..... might be so, but until we know for sure, there is not much use jumping to conclusions. JMHO, of course. There isn't anything further I wish to add and there is no value in debating this now in the absence of real information, IMO.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
NLion
And a good weekend to you, Sir FBS!
I would be very surprised if there was any intentional foulplay by Gene - that is not my reading of him at all. Of course he messed up, made many misjudgements, said things he couldn't deliver on, etc. But, so far my sense is that his intention has been to do right all along, in spite of how this has developed to date. Here's to hoping that this particular play we are in right now vindicates him!
NL
Just waiting patiently, FBS.... still hoping for a favourable outcome, along with everyone else. Glad to see a good number of positive perspectives in posts on the board... I am not convinced that all will be bad (even though that is a possibility). We shall see by-and-by...
NL
Three cheers for FBS - doing an excellent job as moderator, IMO, in an otherwise very difficult situation. Good job, FBS!
Good morning Bee and all...
size of pile is relative... whatever we have is good.
What I really like about this play is how it has been steadily unfolding ovre the months since I started buying in - like a story in a book... as each chapter comes to a close, can't wait to read the next chapter! But, wait.... the next chapter is still being written! And we are part of the story.....
also well.... happy with progress being made... glad I have a pile of MTRE today, which means I will also have a pile of LHCI in a short while....
Hey $oldier.... we marked another milestone today...
How are you?
Thanks, Chevy.... this is a good place to have good friends.... one of the side benefits of being an MTRE'er!
News is good...we like news!
Chevy,
Do you know whether the LHCI shares will be coming out to us in the mail in certificate form, or whether they will just show up in our accounts online? Since LHCI will not be free-trading when these are issued, I wondered whether that might affect the manner of delivery.
NLion
Hi Chevy, Roo and all,
The fluctuations in share price, especially to the downward side as we approached the divvy date has been puzzling. Now that everyone that can qualify for the divvy has done so, there may be a question as to whether the SP will erode further.
I am not so sure that it will. As much as some of us (go, Berge!) have been taking advantage of the situation to add a few, it hasn't been in large numbers. This stock is still too much off the radar screen of most potential buyers. Those of us that know MTRE (and the LHCI spinoff) about have bought what we could afford to buy long ago. Without new investors, buying activity slows down.
I doubt that many of us will be selling now that the divvy qualifying is done -- we didn't buy it only for the divvy - there is a company with a huge future at stake here - could see 5X or 10X current SP, IMO... the action is still to begin. JMHO.
NorthLion
I am on the cheapie plan, so can't PM. Please use email: lion@ldj.net
I personally figure the OS will shrink.
As some posted yesterday, the financing cannot be used to buy back shares (directly), but now that they have fluidity in their cash position, I expect there will be ways for incoming monies/profits from operations to be used to in some fashion buy back shares out of the market while they are still at these kinds of levels....
Maybe that cannot officially, directly or openly be done, but I still think we will see it.... JMHO.
NorthLion
With a credit line like that, I expect we may see the company buying back a bunch of stock to retire shares....JMHO.

53Chevy posted on August 19th on another board:
CYSU was the Keating shell that had the merger collapse. That's his second go-around with that shell, as he had sold it once before in 2003, and then got it back when that company went BK in 2005.
That's 2 in a row for him on merger collapses, as his deal for FREZ fell through earlier this year. He has a 3rd deal in the works now, for QBYT, but it includes a 1:10 RS and a doubling of the AS to 500M. The name sounds familiar: Glen Halpryn
KI is exiting the shell/RM game, once he moves these last 3 shells
Update on the upcoming uplisting of MTRE – August 28, 2008.
MTRE had filed a Form 10SB on July 3rd to register with the SEC in preparation for its uplisting to the OTCBB. There have been a number of exchanges of comments and questions between MTRE and the SEC, as well as with FINRA in the process. An Amended Form 10/A was filed with the SEC on August 14th reflecting additional information they had requested. However, the SEC responded with yet more questions and comments. Since there is a only a 60 day window for the completion of an application, MTRE has now withdrawn its application (Form RW on August 27th) and will resubmit a new Form 10, probably within a week.
Meanwhile, the intended 1:1 free share of LifeHealth Care that will be issued to all shareholders of MTRE is still in effect and the record date for that dividend has been set as September 3rd. That still allows anyone interested in being a part of the “free share give-away” a few more days to buy in. MTRE shares have been trading around .25 to .30, which is considered to be far below the value of a company with a very small float and deals lined up to acquire 3 profitable research companies as soon as the uplisting is completed. MTRE has its eyes on a further uplisting to AMEX. The spin-off LifeHealth also is expected to develop rapidly and there are hopes to uplist to the NASD Small Cap. Both MTRE and LifeHealth Care (LHCI) could soon be trading over $1.00, IMHO.
Further info can be found on the MTRE discussion board. Some excerpts taken from 53Chevy’s postings on that board and pertaining to the items mentioned above follow:
(a). For those of you who have been involved with other uplists, it is a complex set of obligations, and not everyone gets it right the first time. They made mistakes in the Form 10, the SEC issued a "comments" letter detailing those mistakes requiring correction, and the company filed an "RW" acknowledging they had to withdraw their Form 10 and resubmit.
(b.) The Form 10 RW has nothing to do with the LHCI record or paydate. What MAY happen, depending on how fast they refile the corrected Form 10 for MTRE, is the effectivity date for LHCI. This is the date the company selects for when LHC will begin free-trading. They control this date, not the SEC.
They are adamant that LHCI will not spend even one hour in pinkyville, so this may delay the start-up date, to insure the uplist is a done deal first.
Everyone will still get their shares, as filed and when stipulated, but free-trading will not commence until the company submits an effectivity date to the SEC.
(c.) In response to an inquiry I made to the company earlier today on why the "ex-divvy" date did not show up on today's Dailies Report, I just received the following. It took awhile, as they did not know the answer either, and had to contact the SEC to find out.........
The OTC Dailies Report is a combination of recordings that has to deal with active stocks. Since LHCI has not yet been activated, it would not be listed on the Dailies Report in a real-time manner. The entries will be made later, once LHCI is free-trading.
Since the dividend involves shares in an as yet inactive stock, purchases of MTRE through the EOB on Tuesday, September 2nd, will be eligible to receive the 1:1 payout, as they will be listed as the shareholders of record for those shares when the list is compiled.
(d.) Due to the concerns raised by many, regarding the Form 10 RW earlier today, I also asked the company what its implications are. Their response is as follows:
This morning, they received the "comments" letter from the SEC, with regards to the filing, which in essence was their application for uplisting. The SEC did not reject their application, but issued "comments" instead, requesting more clarity. Specifically, the SEC has asked that the Form 10 include more specifics on the acquisitions negotiated, and the financing plan that will be engaged to close the agreements.
The Form 10 has an automatic default of effectivity of 60 days from date of filing. The company felt that they could not resubmit the correction by September 2nd, and so therefore withdrew the filing, in essence starting the clock over again.
A call that I then made to Mr Krantz, legal counsel, indicated that he was in receipt of the letter, had a full understanding of what the SEC was requesting, and feels that the company will be able to submit a new Form 10 filing by the end of next week.
From the new filing, the SEC will then have the stipulated 7 business day response window, to review and address the new filing. Assuming no further comments, it is then moved on to FINRA, who also has a seven business day response window.
With the new Form 10 being filed by the 5th, we should therefore have the uplist approval by the 26th of September, if not before, assuming no more "comments" letters from the SEC
e) And this clarification by 53 Chevy to questions asked in another post..........
1) Yes, LHCI has a mirror structure to MTRE, but only relative to the float. Based on the the conversion of restricted shares to commons, for "original" CABLE shareholders from "way back" (pre-2000) the company believes the float for both to now be 2.8M-3.5M, and they are working with Continental to get a more accurate number, once all conversions are made. I suspect it will be in the next financial filing.
LHCI and MTRE do NOT have the same AS and OS. For MTRE, the AS is 150M, per the DEF14C filing, and per the latest 10Q, the OS is 14.2M, approximately. The actual number is in the IBOX.
LHCI has a smaller AS of only 50M shares, but in addition to the 1:1 relationship with MTRE, an additional 8M+ shares are being issued later (not sure on the when) to insiders who will serve on the BOD for both MTRE and LHCI as "payment" for being on the board. LHCI therefore will have a smaller AS, a matching float, and an OS of just under 23M. Again, actual numbers should show up in the next fin filing
2) Yes, the company is taking steps to have LHCI open trading on the OTC.BB; they are as tired of pinkyville as we are, and do not want LHCI to go through the issues we faced with CCWW/MTRE
3) Yes, LHCI has been "in the works" for over six years, as illustrated in many of the MTRE filings. LHCI already has been granted approval for some patents, and additional patents have been submitted, awaiting approval. These patents engaged the medical departments of two universities, one being NYU and I think the other a medical university in Canada, but not sure.
4) The company has a very high regard for LHCI's potential, and they are not expecting it to trade for pennies after spending more than six years getting it ready to go public. While we know their intent is for MTRE to uplist to AMEX, it is my understanding in conversation with them that they will pursue uplisting LHCI to a different major exchange, probably NASD Small Cap.
5) Will LHCI or MTRE trade higher than the other? I wish I had THAT crystal ball to know the answer. Obviously, the company thinks quite highly of both. We know MTRE, through acquisition, is already generating per annum revenues in excess of $18M. What we don't know is how 2008 has performed. Nor do we know the status of the supposed additional acquisitions they have hinted at......
What we also do NOT know is what has been established, regarding the business plan and expectations, for LHCI, so I cannot provide anything that would answer your specific question. I suspect we will see a flurry of news releases, specifically focused on that, once LHCI is free-trading
Lortap....still in process...still expecting this to happen in the next couple of months, as per Chevy. MTRE/LHC has taken priority over this for awhile, but WCHG is now being worked on again.
NLion
Trees vs. Forest
Because we are virtually hours away from the divvy date, we are all very fixated on every trade and uptick or downtick.... breathlessly waiting to see what happens next. Those are the TREES.
Time to step back, take a deep breath, and look at the bigger picture. Whether the registration happens on Day A or Day B really is immaterial. Survey the broader picture of TWO companies, one with profitable operations and the other with exciting products and opportunities, positioning themselves carefully and deliberately for an incredible future....that is the FOREST.
NL
The divvy is not dependent on the completion of the uplist or the registration. The company can still do the divvy. Chevy can clarify expected timing and what will follow next in the process.
Form 10 has to do with the SEC registration.... part of the uplisting process... there may be some technicalities to resolve, which is not uncommon. There is often a lengthy back and forth until the process is completed. It is important that things are done absolutely correctly.... and they will be. IMO
NLion
Buying up 1 Million shares is a lot -- does someone know something?
NL
Good to see you back Di....
You and anyone who has been able to get into or back into MTRE over the past few weeks is indeed blessed, IMO. I am finding the unfolding of this play week by week very exciting to be a part of!
NorthLion
Gerry,
I finally had time to read through the 10-KSB/A. I found this note on page 39:
(2) There are approximately 28 shareholders of record, 1 of which is a holder for several hundred individuals
And, right at the bottom of page 1: Prior to these transactions, the unaffiliated shareholders of the Company owned approximately 10% of the Registrant and they continued to own approximately 10% of the Company on a fully diluted basis.
IMO, the major drawback is the continuing dilution of shares; note that in this year a pile of warrants were issued with an exercise price as low as .001: During the year ended April 30, 2008, Inova granted 192,279,258 warrants at exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $0.005 per share to lenders related to $2,042,000 borrowed. These warrants vest immediately and have a life of five years. These warrants have a fair value of $769,116 and a relative fair value of $558,629.
The problem of making too many acquisitions is the accumulation of cash-flow-choking debt. Now the debt has been converted to warrants, but this will restrict SP growth for a long time, IMO.
The company's analysis of the past year: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2008
Total revenues (net sales) increased from $1,615,187 for the twelve month period ending April 2007 to $5,442,402 for the twelve-month period ending April 30, 2008. This is primarily the result of revenues produced from the acquisition of Desert Communications. Desert was acquired on December 21, 2007 therefore the revenue for Inova for the 12 months ending April 30 2008 only includes revenue from Desert for the period from December 21, 2007 to April 30, 2008.
The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,546,551 for the twelve months ending April 30, 2007 to $2,195,557 for the same period in 2008. This is primarily the result of the expenses from Desert.
Last fiscal year, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations in the amount of $540,649; this loss increased to $976,062 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. This has been caused by much larger interest expenses this year based on the significant borrowings associated with acquisitions.
The Company expects revenues to continue to increase as a result of the acquisition of Desert. In addition, once the Company pays off the debt incurred to acquire Desert, cash flow should improve considerably.
Unless revenues and profits from ongoing operations improve considerably, this could be a long time coming around. JMHO
