Investor relations
I don,t email or call because i know they are too busy and when i have called they have no time only twice in 6 months
At some point EP will have to adress this if he wants new investors, some companies i,m invested i talk to them weekly
Theres alot going on with TDGI too bad no one knows
Great thing about racing dreams is it will be turned into a movie in 2 years by Spielberg
so we should get some residual sales of dvd,s down the road
Once this goes to DVD it would be great if NASCAR has this featured on their web site for sale and at NASCAR races if it sold at their merchandise booths
Biggest News we could get other than getting the money would be that Prince Harry and William have granted QASP the right to name a Helicopter after her, that would get world exposure on every national and local tv and newspaper
I wonder whats the protocol for that to happen
Promotion
For 12 to be a success we hopefully will have Chance , 50 cents doing many promos similar to what Emma is doing
I was hoping the Rock would help get the word out on Racing Dreams
NR.s
Once QASP closes on all the acqustions i would anticipate a steady stream of news from each acqustion on what they are doing and updates from any contracts or services they secure
Specualtion
May finally see a rise in TDGI on specualtion of a deal as June has another 2 weeks left
i can,t see much happening with wild Hunt, it ran in Toronto at a downtown theatre for 2 weeks and than in the east end for 1 week and that was it
should have done this weeks ago
if i were them put out another 1 next week what about telecom tools , envirocare explain plans for divys
hey i,m long care to explain , i was hoping with closing of all acqustions we may see liftoff and care to dream .10 for starters
so why would QASP want to buy back shares at a much higher price when all the news is released as planned?
Thanks
BuyBack ?????
DEan stated in last CC That buyback or anti dilution to begin in july.
If thats the case does it make sense to hold off NRing the acqustions including Mineseeker till after buyback is done
You announce 6 acqustions and MS QASP WILL be buying back shares alot higher
Any thoughts???
well we wont get audited financiaals until after the and if deal is announced
The audited finanacials will give TDGI an updated value onTDGI thus they can move forward with terms of any deal
they just started those audits 3 weeks ago and would be completed soon, can,t see them being releaseed until all acqustions are out in the public domain, so probally early July to release those audits, that would facilitate getting the Indian students too
Funding
looking back at NR,s it states that within 7 business days after today news QASP will have cash in bank
I presume we close MS and other acqustions thew week of the 20
Deal has been in works for months so i,d say we are in home stretch here. The interview is from dollars and sense out dated form Jan
> However, two time during the interview, when talking about revenues, he said that they are working a "mega huge" deal. and i do think it has to do with . Fred gave Eric a stern look when he mentioned that and Eric stumbled, looked at Fred and said "i wasn't suppose to say that was i". i played it off and went directly to the next question.
Christmas Tree
Something tells me very soon the TDGI board is about to light
Get your shades ready
Nice big present under the Tree from EP
Tick Tock
14 trading days and 1 day after clsoe EP will drop the bomb, its going to be good.
Welcome aboard Tom

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. on Wednesday once again rebuffed efforts by billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn to pressure the movie studio and TV programmer to accept his buyout bid.
This time, Icahn said he received approval from the Minister of Canadian Heritage, under the Investment Canada Act, for his $7-per-share cash offer for all shares of Lions Gate he doesn't already own. Icahn has a nearly 19 percent stake.
Lions Gate said Icahn's offer is "financially inadequate and coercive and is not in the best interests of Lions Gate, its shareholders and other stake holders."
Since Icahn made his buyout offer in March, shareholders owning less than 4 percent of outstanding shares have accepted it, Lions Gate said.
As part of getting the Canadian nod, Icahn pledged to maintain Maple Pictures under Canadian control and keep Lions Gate in Canada. Lions Gate is based in Vancouver, Canada, and operates out of Santa Monica, Calif.
Icahn also pledged to maintain or boost the company's film production efforts in Canada.
Icahn has been trying to take control of Lions Gate for more than a year. He believes the company can be run more efficiently.
The stock is trading at late 2008 levels. Shares of Lions Gate rose 5 cents to $7.05 in afternoon trading.
Lions Gate was behind the Oscar-winning movie "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire." It also owns the TV Guide network and has produced such TV shows as "Weeds" and "Nurse Jackie."
Icahn said his tender offer to buy Lions Gate shares ends on June 16. He said the offer price will not change, and the offer deadline will not be extended again. However, there will be a 13-day window starting June 17 for additional shares to be tendered at the same $7 per share price.
Icahn also ballyhooed Lions Gate's warning that his purchase of the 3.7 percent of outstanding shares that have been tendered would result in defaults of debt agreements.
He said if a default is triggered, it won't constitute a condition allowing a withdrawal of his offer or cause him not to purchase the shares tendered.

Sells
Anyone put in any sells ?
Not sure how this plays out, but i,m expecting a POP how big who knows i,d say over .15 or more (wishful thinking) but the there will be a retrace 30% or more
I,m sure you will have to hold to certain date to get shares in NEWCO
Mine seekers
Huge potential and a good humanitarian story.
Not alot of folks understand the potential including myself
its to close sooner rather than later
Dean should MK on a CC
that would be interesting
dvd sales
TDGI did 2 million in dvd sales on 1 video last year, not sure how they did but i guess with all the releases coming up that number will extrapolate
the next news of signifigance will be the deal, can,t see them releasing news to move stock price prior to deal closing
your post thanks again hopefully not my confusion
Should be a very big week and a half then. Don't forget we also have a huge press conference coming up next week regarding Senate bill and Made in the USA provision. Mid-June is next week.
Preliminary drafting of a bill is being coordinated with legislative staffers representing two Democratic Senators and two Republican Senators, reflecting the non-partisan nature of the action. A target date of mid-June has been set for the official presentation of the bill and the announcement of the principal Senators supporting the measure.
Hey Rain
Just getting in sifting through posts
TDGI has a press conference next week with the author for Made in the USA
Thanks
how bout some updates on all the subs whats going on????
Telecom tools and all the rest no updates, this is turning into a joke
Yesterdays NR i bet you never hear another thing about it
old interview
from jan someone dollars and sense interviewd Ep, just putting it out to help people understand and ease worries
During Distribution and Theatrical releases, is the distributor (Hannover House) responsible for the marketing of the film and capital outlay to perform that function?
> > > >
> > > > answer: yes. but they set up P&A agreements with financiers so the money doesn't come out of Hannover's pockets. they can achieve this by offering lucrative ROI on the venture.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Are any of the films being acquired going to be run nationwide in more than 1,500 theatres?
> > > >
> > > > answer: no comment.

> > > > Ask Eric if by any chance he has a good relationship with James Cameron? Any plans to bid on the Terminator franchise?
> > > >
> > > > answer: he shared a table with him at the Golden Globes. Eric said "if you ask him if he know Eric Parkinson, he probably won't remember. but if you ask him if he know Eric Parkinson with Hemdale, he would know who you are talking about. No, they don't have any plans to purchase the Terminator franchise because Cameron sold it to the company that did Salvation, and he believes they spent to much money on it and need to go back to the root story.
> > > >
> > > > With the interest in the resurrection of Hemdale, is the value of the acquisition just in the Brand Name recognition in the film industry?
> > > >
> > > > answer: they are both the same to him. their are a billion videos with the Hemdale logo on it.
> > > >
> > > > Hemdale (HEMD) is still a registered security on the OTCBB. If acquired, would this facilitate TDGI's move up to the OTCBB exchange?
> > > >
> > > > answer: HEMD was delisted Aug 15th, and Eric is the only one who has the right to appeal the decesion, which he refused to do. they are in the process of acquiring the Hemdale name with the OTCBB.
> > > >
> > > > Eric - Are you still a Hemdale (HEMD) shareholder as well?
> > > >
> > > > answer: yes.
> > > >
> > > > Target Development Group has a checkered past, is there interest in distancing yourselves from that past and using the Hemdale name for the Parent company?
> > > >
> > > > answer: no. legal counsel has told them that changing their name would lengthen the time it takes to get uplisted to the OTCBB.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Has Eric Parkinson remained on Empire Film Groups management team, and if so, what is his current involvement with the company since the 2 entities decided to part ways? (He is still mentioned on EFGU's website).
> > > >
> > > > answer: he is not part of management and has sent a certified letter requesting that they take his name off as the first legal step. He said that Empire doesn't like to pay their bills.
> > > >
> > > > Are there any details that can be released regarding new upcoming ways TDGI plans to advertise and market itself in the film industry?
> > > >
> > > > answer: Eric says that attending trade shows and film festivals is the way that TDGI will advertise itself. there are only 6 accredited film studios that will be at sundance and Hannover is one of them. they have a spread in Home Media Magazine to let vendors know what movies they are carrying. They have an exciting movie release coming out soon, but Eric can't say what it is yet. they plan to also release 2 of the 4 titles they have acquired this week at the Sundance Film Festival.
> > > >
> > > > In the past month it is obvious that the true value of Hannover House has not been reflected in TDGI's stock price since the merger. Many of our group has recognized this, which is why we continue to aggressively accumulate shares. Can you tell us of any immediate plans that may rectify this and if so, when might they be released in a PR?
> > > >
> > > > answer: they plan to release 12-31-09 financial statements pre-audit next week. Eric said that it won't show much, but it will show profit. He said that 1st and 2nd quarters will start to show the significant streams of revenue that they can produce.
> > > >
> > > > When will they be able to get the stop sign removed? Only after the financial s have been reported?
> > > >
> > > > answer: the 12-31 statements are a huge piece of that puzzle. they also need to provide an attourney opinion letter which they are working up with a securities lawyer. that should remove the Stop Sign.
> > > >
> > > > Are there any plans to increase the outstanding or authorized share counts for the company this quarter?
> > > >
> > > > answer: they do not need to sell shares. they are getting all the financing they need from PandA arrangements and off-balance sheet deals.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Is there any plans to reduce Authorized Share count and perform buybacks of the current Outstanding to increase share holder value even further?
> > > >
> > > > answer: they think having 10 billion shares authorized is rediculous. they are going to decrease the a/s soon. they are leaning toward 750 million, but could choose to go a lot less. (personal note) i told them that a major reduction in a/s goes a long way with potential investors. hopefully we see that soon.
> > > >
> > > > How soon does TDGI plan to uplist off of the Pinksheets? Is this something we can expect to see this quarter?
> > > >
> > > > answer: Hopefully this quarter. they are working with the OTCBB and their checklist.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Is a share-buyback program of any sort underway, and if not, are there any plans in the immediate future to do so?
> > > >
> > > > answer: no share buy-back is planned at this time, just the a/s reduction.
> > > >
> > > > Other Info: Fred was a vice president of the Bank of Fayetteville, which gave them an "in" with their new auditing firm who doesn't do penny stock companies. they feel this will give them credibility. i feel they are straight up and honest with me. Eric says he tries to answer all shareholder emails, but that he is swamped with them. he also said that with what they are doing, if he gets the same amount of emails in 6 weeks as he gets now, there is a problem with their plan. that tells me they are doing what they need to to get the company credibility. he said that they need to do that because when working with some of these groups, dealing with a "penny" stock company can be a hinderence. so they are taking these steps not just for the shareholder' s value, but to help there business relationships and deals.

i,m right behind you bid for 100,000 at .034 and 100,000 at .03
i agree in the past he was horrible for his timelines but since he,s stated the CC,s hes been open and honest and coming through on dates , so i expect an update on funding based on the timelines presented in last NR
probally once he finishes buying whenever that is he may start dropping some bombs such as MS closed and close the 6 acqustions would make sense
funding update probally tommorrow should be good hopefully based on last NR
Newby and Associates expects the closing of the investment grade collateral from the US based Trust company within the next 5 business days, after which the funding to Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc. will take place no later than 7 banking days thereafter
just put a bid suport .034
as per the NR,s deal will be disclosed sometime in June
I take it the lawyers are going back and forth
i can,t see them announcing any news until after this deal is announced
Any new movies if acquired will probally be announced after deal closes
Hopefully EP does an interview or holds a CC to explain transaction and out look
Manipulation
Maybe the price is deliberately being brought down as to faciliate this deal at a lower price maybe our premium won,t be plus at the .045 level but a premium in the .037 range
they are starting and getting involved with so amny different things now.
Why not just concentrate on a few and make progress on some fronts, something tells me we will never hear about this again
just google it, lots of stuff sounds like it may go straight to dvd
surprised bid suport still weak tday with the 2 NR,s , i guess folks want to see the actual deal
the movie side will at some point get the Hemdale name , Eric has the right to use the name from what i understand
at some point we may shed the tdgi name and maybe go to Hanover House for the DVD side
Well glad he cleared it up
I figure the dvd, internet and book didrtibution will remain under TDGI
The theatrical movie side will maybe be joined up with TO,s entity in the listing
Good all around
Valuation
the valuation in Jan gave us a value of .13 for assets , i believe the current value will be north of .25
Thanks for great work guys
Lots of possibliities
I think Hanover House will be a separate entity doing the dvd distribution and books
Another company will be formed using the Hemdale name which EP has legal ownership of and will be doing the movies and more cash will be on the table and more movies on there way
