Sljb...If nothing else, getting the product in stores promotes name recognition in North America and world wide. Agree the lions share of the market would be comercial, however in the general population, Identa is not a recognizable brand name except to us, and truthfully I have never even seen the product. The synergy effect of marketing to several targets couldn't hurt. Also, I bet you might be surprised at how many concerned parents are out there. If the retail aspect is promoted wisely, it just might have the potential to produce some significant revenues. More importantly, Identa becomes a recognizable name, attracting more investors. This is what we need right now.
A constant cornucopia of codswallow
Oh my God ! Is that what we have been eating?
Yuch !
Do you really think Angels take drugs? Maybe thats how they can fly. LOL
Have a good one.

I think Kits selling on store shelves could be the spring board to better times. Drug abuse has always been in the news, but with the bad economy, troubles in Mexico and parents always being concerned about their kids getting mixed up in the wrong things, this topic has moved to the front burner once again. There could not be a better time to get the word out. Identa has a great product that can help. The World needs to know this !
Truthfully, I don't think anyone here would disagree with you. No one here wants to see a R/S, yet Identa must come up with some viable solution to the problem they have created (mostly for us). Everyone here knows the routein in Penny World. My only hope is that YS (or any subsequent officer) will not R/S, as he has told us in the past. I hope he can do something creative so we all benefit. Even tho at times I have expressed some negativity, in the back of my mind I still think that YS always had the best of intentions, but business and market circumstances have brought us to where we are now. Maybe we are about to turn a corner. People need to know who and what Identa is before we move forward. Exposure in 8 major retail chains is a good start !
Orange, I think most would agree as to what will typically happen when you see a R/S. Lord knows I have been burnt on some "great stocks" like Lifeline Bio-technology, Klegg, and a few other POS. Situation here is there are just too many shares of Identa and eventually something needs to be done about it. I wish YS bought shares back like he said he was going to do. That is what I would love to see. At .0003 it just might even be feasable if Identa Management truely wants to help the shareholders that supported Identa for years. Price can still go up tho, if the last PR comes to fruition. Would love to see kits in Walmart, K-Mart, CVS, all major drug stores, etc. in conjunction with some effective media advertising that can send us North. This company needs to show some follow through on statements and projections made from prior PRs, something tangable and exciting that will attract new investors.
sgbrown ... I believe it was CVS that was carrying the product. I know I saw it on-line on the CVS web site at one point, but I never found it in the store. This is the best news I have heard in a long long time. Lets see how this story unfolds.

Midas ... I wish we were both wrong. Wish we knew what the heck is going on. Six years of being loyal and waiting patiently is too long. CEO cannot say we are not loyal because we are still here. Getting a bit disgruntled and fiesty, but we are still here. If we didn't care what happens to this company, we all would have quit posting years ago.
Richie, not sure who you think can come in and take over the reigns and make any difference. In spite of all the hype promise of good things to come we have been fed over the years, this still seems to be a very small operation. Last published count was 8 employees which included the CEO and inventor. Look at the pictures on this BB when you log on. Does this look like the manufacturing operation of the World Wide leader of drug test kits? Everytime I look at those pictures, it looks more and more like a Pizzaria. Should there ever be a change of command, I'm sure it would be someone hand picked, since this is without a doubt Mr. Shoham's company.
Quite honestly Mike, I don't see anything wrong with the current WEB sight. I do not know of what benefit or value there is in tweeking whats already there. New products or not, best chance this company has is to get the name "Identa" out there for all to see. Take a chance on some mass media advertising to leverage the company name and reliability of products that actually work the way they are supposed to. If the products are everything they are supposed to be, it should sell. Especially with the government locking up all those ruthless people who eat chocolate, or wash with soap. Regardless ... the current stock structure is so messed up, there is no web page that can compensate for what has come to pass.
Vits
If Identa products produce no false positives, then what the heck is wrong with the government for using inferior products that can incriminate innocent people. Could you imagine being falsely accused of drug posession for eating chocolate? If our products are really superior, than something is really wrong with the system. No surprises there I guess.
Wow, really don't hear that much about drug problems and gangs in Canada. US media hype is usually centered on Mexico. Sorry to hear you have much of the same problems that we deal with in certain regions of the US. Our southern borders have been full of holes for decades, with 12 Million illegals now living and working here, and very little anyone can do about it. Regarding Identa, its starting to sink in that we have been led down Primrose Path for many years now. The amazing thing is how long we have been fed this baloney and still hung in there supporting them. The one and only thing that will redeem these people is if they buy back and retire a mega amount of A/S. At .0002 it just might be do-able. We all know what the other alternative is, and once that happens all will be lost in a matter of weeks. If there is any credibility or integrity left in these people, they will restructure the O/S without screwing the shareholders. It is one thing to knowingly invest in high risk start up companies based on what you believe to be correct information, but we have been led to believe that world wide contracts abound implying tremendous growth, and maybe even a ROI someday.
No one is more disapointed than me. I even talked my brother into investing here several years ago. Live and learn. I am through with penny stocks.
Richie, how goes it?
Could it possibly be that this lousey global economy has temporailery derailed Idta, or am I just being naive. Either you or someone on the board mentioned that IDTA should be thriving right now, espicially with the rise in drug trafficing due to the world wide recession. Something of interest here on Long Island, one of the local school districts received free drug test kits from the manufacturer of First Choice home drug test kits. These kits were given out by the schools, to the parents free of charge, so they can administer drug tests to their children if they felt there was a need to do so. I can't say I'm thrilled with the concept, however I can say that First Choice is at least thinking outside of the box as a way to promote and market their products. The article was in the Long Island paper Newsday, which gets read by millions. Heres a link:

Hey Woody, glad to hear
the family is doing fine. I think I will enroll myself in the "Your baby can read course". I can use the help. Nothing much to say her about our investment. If Mr. Shoham reads these posts, I think we are owed an explaination as to what, if anything is going on here. When you first log into the Identa Ihub page, you read:
"Identa's legal strategy can be summed up in two words - undisputable truth," Shoham asserted.
If there is any merit to these words at all, the loyal longs (now loyal to a fault) are owed some version of the truth. We have been told for years that financial rewards are coming, only to be rewarded with dilusion wrapped in a schroud of secrecy. Mr. Shoham has no right to be mad at us. We supported him and this company from the start. Even if the company is just getting off the ground, we deserve more than false hopes and balogna.
So tell me, how does one get from the Holy Land, to a small house in Kentucky? Sounds like a more interesting story than the Identa story.
Take care

SGB... I am truly honored to be a scientist in the new compamy. Please don't tell anybody about the generous
1 Billion shares you gave me. In the past, other pesky investors would always discover billions of newly issued shares by sneaking around the internet and going to that darn old www.sunbiz.org web site. Can you imagine that !! When its really none of their business.
If all this weren't true, it would probably be funny.
Count me in sgbrown. Only problem is the competition to produce the best BS will be dawnting. There is so much BS being thrown around these days that we will have to think outside the out house. Hows this for the business plan; Issue 5 Billion shares at the IPO and promise a buy back. In a year from now we can issue an additional Billion shares and ask the loyal longs to promote the stock to their family and friends because a minimal investment can produce great future returns. By then we should have about 8 employees and can call ourselves the World Leader in the fabrication of BS.
If all goes well and the loyal longs buy into this after losing 90% of there money, they will have the opportunity to be fed more BS then they even bargained for. Company can be named Best Service Inc.(BS Inc)
Hey Woody, Its been awhile
We are the ones who were financially hurt. If anyone has a right to be mad,it would be the investors. Many of us have been waiting 6 years or more for a return on our money. I have tried to keep a good attitude, but all this stock dilusion cannot be ignored and at some point will have to be dealt with. Unless IDTA wishes to buy back 5.5 Billion shares, we are probably screwed. I think that makes us eligible for TARP money (US bail out money). What the hell, everyone else is getting bailed out, why not us?
Vits
PS: Hows the baby?-
If the company is supposedly increasing sales and making money, I wonder why the continued need to print stock shares?
Just too many mixed signals. Not too long ago they were telling us they were buying back shares.
I think the answer depends on how long one has been strung along. The IDTA string would be a long one for sure. Can't change the past but maybe things will get better. Thats still an unknown, but I'm still hanging in here so I can only hope for better days to come.
Have a Happy New Year !
Hey Richie, good to hear from you. At least sales revenue numbers now appear. $500K in 2008 & $1M projected for 2009. Not exactly Microsoft but at least the product is selling and maybe sales will excelerate from this point forward.
Take Care Richie

Interesting PR. Can anyone elaborate about the need to attain more shareholders to go to the NASDAC? Last I recall there were about 60 of us.
Happy Thanksgiving to all
Lets hope for better days and better markets.
Many have been here for years with no reward. Lets hope this company can start to make good on their promise of expodential increases in sales. What a nice surprise that would be after all this time we have been waiting.

Too Late Richie
I just bought you 10 shares so now you have to come back and keep posting. Too much of nothing goes on here, its like watching paint dry, so its always fun to see you get all fired up, ready to type anyone under the table in rebuttal. You are missed here my Canadian friend. Don't be a stranger.

Maybe someone who lives close to this plant should make an effort to do a site visit. I do not live anywhere near Scottsdale, was only in town for a conference. Someone recently took a tour of the Identa factory (IDTA) and posted the pictures all over the IHUB board. Its a modest operation, but its real. A good picture of how close these people are to going live with production, will partially answer your $150K questions.
All I'm saying is, someone should find out where it is and and get the address and go take a look. I had intentions of touring the plant in September when I was in Scottsdale, but instead was told there was no plant. Maybe something has changed since then, but after all that has happened here, this is the number 1 most basic question that needs to be answered.
No Plant....No Water
As I mentioned previously, Ted Segal told me in August that there is no bottling plant, and I was declined a tour. Before anyone invests any money, you better find out if there is a plant, or at a minimum a half completed bottling plant. If there isn't, you would be foolish to spend your money here.
I'm not the most up to date person here, but really, do they even have a bottling plant? Seems like the most fundamental question there is. If not, they are not going to get anything out with $150K. I would think that amount of cash wouldn't even cover payroll for 2 months.
I see your intentions are good, but aren't you once again trusting the same people that have screwed up already? Kinda like the Economic bailout.
In todays business world, $150K is really not a significant amount of money, and should not be an insermountable obstacle for for moving forward. The fact that they believe only $150K will solve their financial problems concerns me. What about all the unexpected costs they will encounter as they move forward?
Any profits for a start up business will be a long ways down the road, so how long will $150K last?
Has anyone ever been able to determine if there is a bottling plant, or at least a work in progress bottling plant?
I was in Scottsdale in September, and wanted to take a tour of the plant. Prior to arriving, I spoke with Ted Segal, who told me on the phone that there is no operating bottling plant, yet the product was still scheduled to be rolled out in October. None of this made any sense to me, and apparently there was no plant to take a tour of.

This is the genesis of what looks like some real good news. The ride should be much more enjoyable going forward. Even gives us a good reason to post here once in a while.
GLTA
Wouldn't now be a great time to show the world that this is a prosperous company with real sales, as we have been told over the years.
I have contacted the company through their web site requesting a visit or tour of the Scottsdale plant sometime next week, but never received a response. Any suggestions as to whom I might attempt to contact at Nutripure who would be interested in talking to a shareholder? It would certainly be reassuring to see a bottle of water, especially if the roll-out is less than 3 weeks away.

Nothing to cling to just yet, but there is a commitment to release sales figures for 2008, at least for France & the US.

Its been a Long time coming. Lets hope it has been worth the wait !!!!
Woody.. Did you ever
live or stay in the US ? Are there any Stock Bulletin boards such as this one in the Middle East that follow Identa? I only ask because sometimes you can get a whole different perspective from a different source, like the difference between watching CNN or the BBC news.
and how is that new Baby doing anyway ?

Orange...2008 will be coming to an end fast
If we do not hear anything of substance or value regarding the financial state of this company, we will all know it is time to move on.
Richie...You mean you can
Wash your hogs with NU20 also !!! Wow....the possibilities are endless. Still can't figure out where the bottling plant is. Think I will take a divining rod to Scottsdale. I'll find it !!!!!

Hey Richie,
The Hot blond has been trying to call you. Says If you will sell your shares to her for .00005, she will tell you where the bottling plant is.
