Corporate Social Responsibility
Don't let up and begin raving about how great this company is. Keep the heat on. We have been beat up "we're not going to take it anymore"! We have been used. We will stay in there but things have got to change. Go Medient! but have respect for your stockholders.
Responsible Dilution can be tolerated. It is going to be a long long time before revenues come from this venture. I think that Manu should get a partner into this company with some Money! All of these preliminary cash flow projections are obsolete due to continuous increase in outstanding share having an effect on earning projections. In addition we have had a timing problem. The sooner it is built the faster it will make money. He keeps telling us that the other big studios have billions of share outstanding. How can you compare this company, that is in it's infancy, to one of the giant Movie Studio Companies. I don't think that they issued Billions of shares in the beginning. Let me know if I am wrong. This is a fantastic concept whose time has arrived. Manu had a lot of guts to go this far. At this point the company needs help to complete this Dream.
Hopefully they will get help and then we are off to the races. IMO

All we are doing here is helping new people that come onto the board to make a decision to buy the stock. We should stop averaging down!
Who knows how many shares are trading now? New shares make all of the old recommendation reports obsolete because numbers are not updated with the new share count. Example: SeeThruEquity
Look at the difference between the first one and the update. What will the next one show? IMO

We can make this board our Petition!
I agree. IR stands for irritating!!! LOL
Appreciate Everything you have done and are still doing. Stockholders are owners of the company and have the right to give management their opinions. I am long and have supported this company all along. I am now mad and feel that Management has let us stockholders down. If you don't say anything, you won't change anything. Look what Icahn has done by getting involved with mismanaged companies. I feel that this one is mismanaged and I personally want Management to correct "what has been broken".
Build it and they will come! We WANT CHANGE!
The only problem is that you have to build it! Who wouldn't want to be involved after a 700 mil project, high tech, green, largest of it's kind facility with unimaginable incentives is completed.
These partnership relationships are all fluff to me. No more fluff. Where is the MONEY?
So far common stock holder's pockets have been cleaned. Manu, issue some Preferred Stock and get some money in the bank and quit diluting common stockholders so much. We don't mind slow sensible dilution but this has been ridiculous! We want CHANGE!
This is my personal opinion and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security. You should rely on your own due-diligence when deciding to invest.
Who wouldn't want to get involved with Medient if they get this project completed? They have no risk making a deal to participate.
Show me the MONEY! IMO
This is my personal opinion and not to be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security. You should rely on your own due-diligence when making a decision to invest.
If they sold some preferred stock to raise some money instead of continuous diluting of common stockholders then maybe we would get somewhere. Greed! IMO

Programmed Dilution!
Management should know that the market doesn't go along with this anymore. IMO

Las Vegas Meeting
I guess a lot of the "Players" went to the "Tables" instead of investing. I hope we get a big bounce but don't expect anything until construction begins. This dilution is getting old. IMO

"Explode to the Upside"
Explain to me how much of a move this stock could take from where is is now? Could it go from .007 to .014, Wow that would mean it doubled! or if it tripled it would go from .007 to .021. Even if the news is good it's going to take some "proof of some cash flow" to get this out of "pinkyland" now. The price has been destroyed so much.
Do you think that the dilution will stop when the good news comes out? Poor Management of the company's financing efforts has cause this problem. The only way this stock can make a major move is for dilution to slow down or stop at this point. IMO
This is my personal opinion and not to be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security. You must rely on your own due-diligence when deciding to Invest.
No it hasn't. The stock has to hit .006 before you can say that.
Let us hope that they are just a little bit "altruistic"!
Many of these shareholders, including myself, are really big believers in Medient and have gone down with the ship. Hopefully, it's a Submarine?! LOL
Yes, they probably have to sell stock to pay for them! LOL
'armour1955, I think you hit the nail on the head! Originally, when I got introduced to this company I said that it looked like they needed a joint venture partner. (Too much to do on their own with too little capital) IMO I'll stick with my long position and hope for the best. I still love the concept! I believe eventually it will get done but I do not think that all you longs are going to be Millionaires with this one. IMO
This is my personal opinion and not to be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell this stock. Use your own due-diligence when making an investment decision.
Liquidation to raise cash
I have been loyal and long the stock but it looks like management has dropped the ball here. It is my guess that a mistake on assumptions regarding construction financing has caused this mishandled liquidation of stock to satisfy down payment requirements for a loan. It is a shame that this has happened. As long as management controls the "Preferred" Stock they have first call on the assets. IMO
This is my personal opinion and a guess of what has transpired. This message is not to be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell this security. You should use your own due-diligence when deciding whether to invest.
When Medient reports consolidated Financials which include Atlas Films only then will we know the REAL picture. It is very difficult for any institution or hedge fund to make a decision to buy this stock based on existing financial statements. This should be reported in the next few weeks along with financing and construction timing. Poor planning has caused the company to lose credibility with the investment community: Hence the sub penny price of the stock. Yes, the Studioplex is a wonderful DREAM! I believe it will sill get completed but at considerable expense to existing stockholders, especially those that were enticed to invest at higher levels. Hopefully we can get this stock moving up again in the next few weeks and into the future. The company made construction financing assumptions which were incorrect which caused timing problems. That is why the stock is where it is! The company can not afford any more delays. Good Luck to all Longs!

I hope you are right but right now it seems that they have a road show and then stock is sold into it and also sold after it. Where is all of this stock cominng from? IMO
Penny Stock Selling/dilution for Road Show Expenses is ridiculous
There is plenty of time after the construction begins to use free publicity, Media, Newspaper interviews and the like to get considerable interest in the stock. Wait until the stock gets out of the low and sub penny ranges before we start these expensive road shows. I am sure that Manu is charging back his trips to the company. How much do you think it cost to do what he is doing right now?
His trips have to be made at this time however the others can wait.
There are other ways to get the word out to accredited investors than road shows. My personal opinion

What about traveling and entertainment expense? I'll bet that they cost about 10-12,000 each. How many shares do they have to sell to pay for say 3 or 4 of them?
Correction #22578
"These presentation meetings aren't cheap and they eat up capital that could be used for the project and they are FREE to use!"
Should read:
These presentation meetings aren't cheap and they eat up capital that could be used for the project where as Twitter and Social Networking information is Free to use!
Road Shows
At this stage it would be much better for a new company, like Medient Studios, with limited capital, to use Twitter and other Social Media sites to get the information out to Investors and the public. These presentation meetings aren't cheap and they eat up capital that could be used for the project and they are FREE to use!
When construction begins we will get considerable FREE PUBLICITY which will also get the word out!
How do other shareholders feel about this subject?

Collateral for Bank Loan (s)
I am of the personal opinion that they are selling stock to add to the equity requirement that financial Institution (s) require for the construction financing of phase 1 so they can begin in a few weeks.
Bond issuance is later on. Probably a good time to accumulate stock.

IIFA award Presentations First Time in USA
I heard that tickets cost $1000 for all events. India population is growing dramatically in the USA. We hope that the India Filmmakers will use Medient Studios for their productions in the future! Why not? It will be "state of the art" with facilities that will enable them to produce quality films with lower production costs, taking advantage of all of the Georgia Film incentives. Manu Kumaran is the Man to bring the Indian production business to Medient.
See: iifa.com
Construction Loan
We need to know how much equity the lender(s) need for a construction loan for phase 1 (or how much financing Medient has in place for Phase 1 and where it is coming from) All that we know is that originally phase 1 was for 90 MIL, 10 mil Lease plus 40 Mil Value figured in for Prime Focus and 40 Mil in Construction Financing. Now they say that they will save money by bringing in Shore Development. We need to know approximately how much the total estimated financing requirement will be for Phase 1 and what the collateral for the loan will be comprised of. IMO

Indian Film Awards in Florida

As far as I know he came on as Vice Chairman in Dec. Manu made comment in shareholder letter recently.
Regarding Charles Koppelman
I would like to suggest that Mr. Koppelman attend the
Growth Capital Expo ('GCE') in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 29th-May 1, 2014. I personally believe that it would be extremely helpful to Medient and IMO be very appreciated by Medient Shareholders.
In Mar 31, 2014 Letter to shareholders Manu Kumaran says;
"The induction of Charles Koppelman to our Board is a seminal moment in our history. Charles is committed to helping the company achieve its targets especially in our fund raising."
In addition, when Charles Koppelman joined Medient he said;
"Along with my help, Medient Studios will modify what has been a broken and inefficient system. The plan includes a fully integrated production model that will be disruptive as well as transformative. The largest sound stages along with the spectacular Leaf concert venue and the 'live and work' campus will create real excitement inside and outside of the industry. I am thrilled to help realize this grand vision," added Mr. Koppelman.
See TPI 4/22 Company Presentation at their website under Investor Relations. Revenue estimates for new orders.
Charles Koppelman should attend the Las Vegas Presentation for Medient. A director of the Sands and Six Flags. His presence would help Medient.IMO
