the truth of the matter is that i have tried to be especially conscious of asking nicely, in the past, to keep it related to the company. i read the board probably about once a day, and i frankly never read anything that is of any value or importance, other than reading people talking crap about how bad the company is, or how you hate the ceo, or whatever. its the same thing, recycled over and over and over again. everybody knows your opinion on this matter, as well as the other 4-5 people. The last message is the first thing in several weeks that i have heard from you that made a bit of sense, although i disagree with you. If you feel strongly enough about these issues, then the forum should not be related to how much you hate the management, but more to organizing ways to convey our message in a intelligent and congent manner. We as shareholders, obviously, have the ability to raise these arguements as we see fit via vote. although we will probably always lose, our opinions will be heard. My point in this issue is not to "pump" up the share price, or eliminate debate or stifle opposition; but to move on from the same rhetoric that has been the mainstay of this board for several months now. You are correct, that i do not have insider knowledge of their business or conspiracies to hire friends of the family. What i do know, is that, hopefully, like you, i have a significant amount of money invested into this stock; and i am going to look after it, just like all of you folks. With that said; and in response to another posters comments in regards to sentiment; it may be true that investor sentiment may not affect a stock like google or intel or ge, but when you are talking about an average of 72k shares being traded, representing only $4,300 of equity... people saying unsubstantiated rumors or unisightful garbage about managements choices, it can easily affect the share price; hence why they don't allow shorting on penny stocks...

wow, you rhetoric is so insightful and original. generally, i don't have time in my day to sit around talking crap about people i don't even know, with a bunch of other nameless nerds sitting behind their computer screen with porn on one page, and "the anarchists cookbook" on another. i have spent enough time reading through your crap and ridiculous pictures, to find the small nuggets of useful information. i'm sorry that i am not part of the "club" yet... in any case, i have asked you to stop attacking people personally, as it is extemely immature and non-value added. its pretty funny that you guys are sitting around judging someone you've never met based on their former career and church affiliation. if you are so determined to make change occur and begin to invest heavily into coroware, why don't you propose a proxy vote with the transfer agent, so that you can have your little voice heard. you must be a republican politician. "i know you are, but what am i"

i agree with you. my play in on the 20 yr potential of robotics. you already see it with companies like iRobot, that are fortunate enough to have found a commerial niche with their consumer bots, and as well as providing bots that the army can't live without in Iraq... At this point robotics is in its infancy; computers are just now, or in the very near future able to perform tasks with artificial intelligence. as computers get more powerful, and closer to matching human intelligence, you will see a exponential increase in the amount of work beginning to be done by robotics. with advances in sensors and precision devices you could begin to see robots doing a lion's share of manufacturing (which could relieve china as the factory of the world, and bring work back to the US (or Canada)), service work (dry cleaning or driving, etc etc). in terms of how INRA relates to this, as i have said before, is that they are trying to become an integral part of the growth of software innovations, and providing the first "hobbyist" robots. if you recall, altair produced one of the first out of the box PC's that bill gates and paul allen became enthralled with before they started microsoft. I see this company as a forebearer of robotics, that is, if they can keep their financial position strong, continue to grow and make good decisions. if it wasn't for coroware's innovations and connections, i don't believe i would have as much faith as i do in this company. It is also my belief that one on the main reasons why INRA let go of the services of Agoracom or an IR service is because they were being continually harrassed by the very same people that trawl this board. It has been a disservice to everyone who is an investor into this company.

Im starting to believe that the same few people who make it their daily obsession to contribute to this forum enjoying being continually disappointed or mad about how this company did them wrong. Rather than speculate on the certain demise of this stock, why don't you just wait until it happens? I will be convinced of your speculation when this company starts bankruptcy proceedings. Frankly if i lose $3k on a stock like this then so be it. I'm beginning to think that the folks that have such bad feelings towards them were duped into dumping their life savings into this or other start ups. Nothing would get me mad like getting played by some boiler room operation for all i was worth. I just checked out the thesaurus and interestingly enough the word optimism has nothing to do with "pumping a stock". if you can't "read" the sarcasm, it was pretty thick.

Thank you for the positive response. I have made the first response to google finance's site under INRA's stock ticker page. It is located at http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ig&q=INRA . I believe this may be a good place to supplement this site for information, as well as create a lively environment for those new investors that are seeking to find out information about INRA, as this site is a bit more difficult to find. It is my understanding that google reviews your initial message to ensure that it follows their guidelines for public posting. Also, there is no moderator for this forum, so please be sure to censor your comments; i believe they may be flagged for content.

In any case, I appreciate that someone agrees with me in this situation. I will aknowledge that some points that these posters have made in the past have been useful, but this has clearly become a bastion for making this company out to be nothing but a gang of crooks. I continue to believe there is *potential*, while also believing that there are mistakes that have been made in the course of the business (cornell being one of them). I also agree that there needs to be a higher level of communication with shareholders in regards to new business initiatives, as well as a communication of the long term growth strategy of the business. It is my continued belief that robotics is maturing in a big way, and any company, regardless of past financial performance, is primed for success. Look at the company that made MS-DOS or companies like synaptics. These micro-companies that i'm sure had similar financial difficulties ended up being acquired by the likes of Microsoft and Apple, and have formed the basis of two landmark products; Microsoft Windows, and the iPod. IF holding patents is all that this company holds in terms of potential, then we stand to make a profit, because this companies market cap is only $5.45m. A company that covets their technology will be more than happy to pay $20m for their technology ($15m debt+$5.45m equity) at the very least.

The great part of this issue is that we do have other products other than the intellectual property, such as the URC and Corobot/coroware software integration. This stock IS different from other penny stocks. The penny stock moniker may be what is driving the negativity on this board due to the fact that some of these people have been burned; once bitten twice shy. This is the first penny stock that I have chosen to be involved in, but they have certainly suprised me in their honesty about their financial position, disclosure, and timely SEC filings. It is my understanding that these things are not common. In any case, I would hope that we are all on the same page in the sense that we all would like to make money off this. I just don't see material appreciation happening when the main forum for this company is constantly being inundated with slander, misinformation, petty wars of words, and unsubtantiated gossip/speculation. It is one thing to voice frusteration; a very different thing to make it your life goal to bring down a company.

Frankly, the purpose of my comments today, and the reason they closely mirror my previous posts, are a result of attempting to inject some level of dialogue into this board. I don't know what you do for work, but I can assume your employer can't be happy about spending as much time as you do on this message board. Because you are the one that responded first, and clearly one of "those" that my previous message alluded to, I would ask you personally to stop the negativity, personal attacks, bullying, and all around unprofessional behavior. You may not realize that your opinion, which you make VERY well known, has a significant impact on shareholder confidence, and public view regarding this company. As previously mentioned by other posters, if you are this unhappy with the performance of this company, then liquidate your position, and move on. I could understand your "strategy" if you were attempting to short sell this stock, but you can't short sell. If you do want to "make money" from this company, then continue to give your input in a way that doesn't border on slander. We are involved in such a small enterprise that even transactions worth a couple of hundred dollars can cause serious impact to the share price. I am not attempting to attack you, but to ask you to respect others opinions.

I also am a shareholder of inra and an observer of this board on a regular basis. I completely agree with the recent sentiment of some of the posters on this site in regards to the increasingly negative tone to this board. Although I agree that opinions regarding the health of this company should be heard, I believe at this point the negativity displayed by those moderating this forum as well as a few others is hurting this stock, due to the fact that this is one of the only major places for current/new investors to come to find information.

This stock has enormous potential, in my opinion due to a couple of different factors. First, INRA's intellectual property alone is worth more than the current market capitalization; if this company was doing so poorly that it was forces to liquidate the company, an outside company would more than likely see it as an attractive M&A opportunity. Second, if the management is serious about protecting and licensing this intellectual property, we could see a significant rise in revenue, and profit potential. Third, the robotics industry is an immature marketplace, with immature technology. The fact that this company is out growing its intellectual property portfolio and trying to bring new technology in the fold is a prudent move. Fourth, for no other reason to hold this stock for long term was the acquisition of coroware. In fact, I bought into this stock after reading about Microsoft Robotics Studio, and Bill Gates article regarding robotics. I sought out public companies that were involved in robotics, and found coroware, which as we all know is a close partner with Microsoft. I am holding due to the potential of Coroware, because if I based my decision solely on the financial health of this company and their balance sheet I would have never bought. I too have lost money so far in this company. But I will also say that I just recently picked up another 10k shares at this bargain price.

With that said, I am very frusterated with the attitude of a few people on this board. Not only do they negatively impact the attitude of this forum, but they also, in my opinion, negatively impacted the share price. And due to the fact that certain folks comments may have impacted my portfolio, I would respectfully ask that we stick to the business of discussing the FACTS of this business, rather than resorting personal attacks, and instigating. We are all, I think, adults here, and using this board to bully people or degrade others is childish at best. If we cannot agree, then I would suggest that we use something like Google finance's message board to discuss this company.

I do believe those people that I am referring to have provided a great amount of information, that otherwise may have not been publicly available. But I guess I do not understand the motivation behind continually questioning this company and its management. As a fellow shareholder, I would ask that we stick to the business of discussing this business rather than attempting to make it out to be a pyramid scheme, scam, or some type of consiracy against shareholders. It may be a penny stock, but the potential is there for major growth. Also, I might remind you that the "positive talk" in recent days, has increased the share price by $.03 today alone.

Thank you.

i am new to the board after reading about it through the investor relations site, and thought i would give my two cents regarding the discussion and the company.

First, I would like to say that i invested in the company in july with a reasonable amount of money based on several assumptions (they may not be good assumptions, but i think they are still valid). One, as most of us have read, microsoft is investing time and money in bringing robotics into the mainstream market. For example, microsoft robotics studio. As the GM for Robotics at Microsoft points out, robotics is like computers were 20 years ago, tons of potential but need a common thread and market innovators to make them mainstream. Secondly, I work for a major defense contractor where i see innovation with robotics nearly everywhere, along with a budget from agencies like DARPA and DoD that are driving new technologies to replace soldiers on easy yet extremely dangerous missions. A good example of this in the mainstream media is the DARPA grand challenge, as well as products such as the predator. in my opinion, this research and innovation is going to drive consumer markets in the nearer term. These two things have made me feel strongly that this field is certainly a high potential growth field.

As far as the company is concerned, there are frankly not that many options when it comes to robotics to invest directly in. with the exception of maybe irobot, most companies that are investing in robotics, such as the defense contractors and companies like bombardier are typically conglomerate type companies. I don't know that innova yet has a "killer app" that they have developed, but they certainly have a good portfolio of useful products such as the URC3, as well as a slew of intellectual property rights that they are clearly willing to defend (see current lawsuit). In the long term, i'm of the belief that this technology will eventually be acquired by another company if INRA cannot succeed as a standalone company. It seems that they are heading in the right direction (if they are in fact pursuing new IP acquisitions), as well as developing good working partnerships with companies such as Microsoft and Mesa Robotics. As a small company their debt concerns me, and i would like to see stronger revenue growth, but as a new(er) company they have used creative financing to continue to operate. From what i understand the officers of the company are well respected in the industry, so the recent claims on this board that they're may be some conspiracy to defraud investors just doesn't seem justified. It appears that they have kept up with SEC filings on a timely basis, and they are clearly attempting to be transparent with their financial positions (if they were trying to skip on the company, you would think that the management and IR would be pumping this stock to a higher price so they can cash out). My immediate conclusion is that INRA will continue to grow at a steady pace (assuming they are able to effectively market their product to customers, maintain and grow acquisitons/partnerships, and sustain reasonable debt ratio), or they will be acquired by a bigger company in order to acquire technology/IP. In either case, in my opinion, it doesn't seem as though the sky is falling; and we, as stakeholders should be able to get something out of this investment in the near to long term future.

In response to the current banter on this site, i believe that the panic by a couple of "elder" members of this board is having a detrimental impact on my/our investment with no tangible evidence of any wrongdoing and/or malfeasance. i would respectfully ask that we use this board, as stated before, to remain constructive and factual. in any case, i would agree that it would be beneficial to get some feedback from the company in regards to new business or news to buoy investor confidence.
