Pie,
Thanks for yours and other posters concerns. When I got in last night, I had another e-mail from this Stephen Coldwell apologising for sending the 7 pictures to me in error. He states he was sending them to a friend as a joke, but came to me in error.
That`s fine, but he had my e-mail address for a reason, so whether this apology has been triggered by police or ISP intervention, I don`t know, but I will call the police and let them know and also forward the e-mail on to them today.
Hopefully this is the end of it. The chap is in the States apparently, so for now, I will take him at his word, but he has a very warped sense of humour between him and his friend.
It has put my mind at ease somewhat, but not settled it!!
All have a great weekend and I`ll enjoy my long weekend as it`s a Bank Holiday here on Monday. In Sirius`s words, HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!
I also hope the Queen has a great day at the Kentucky Derby today, apparently she has always wanted to go to it and this is her first State visit in 16 years, which I presume as she is not getting any younger at aged 82, she is doing something she has always wanted to do. I reckon she`ll be skydiving next!!!
GLL
Thanks STD, I forwarded it onto the lady at the police yesterday when I informed them and she took down other details as well.
Have a great weekend.

Message for Sonny,
I take on board what CTW says, as moderator, can you please change my thingey to just GLL.
Thanking you in advance.
I may try and resist posting for a while as it has put the heebie jeebies up me, maybe they have won in what they were trying to achieve, but it has scared me!!
I would like to say a thank you also for the kind words of the board members.
Thank you.

O/T Important message, not TKO related but I need to post it anyway:-
If there is a man on this board who goes by the name of Stephen Coldwell, I am not best amused at your e-mail.
This chap sent 7 pictures of him in his bedroom pulling psycho faces and the last 3 pictures are of him holding a pistol to his head!!
This is not funny, it is very worrying and I have reported it to the police.
If it is someone on this board, please stop!! It has been sent to my Yahoo account which I use for these boards, some have my personal e-mail, so I know it is not them.
For Christ sake, do not send any more, it is not funny!!

A Tia Maria and Coke, i.e. a spirit and a mixer around £3`s, as is a pint of lager or bitter.
Average wage I believe in the uk is around £28,000 now, or $56,000.
Min wage is £4`s something and in London, you get London Weighting, i.e. a form of bonus for the higher costs, not sure if that is the same for all cities!!
Are there any Bank Holidays your side of the pond this weekend, as it is a Bank Holiday Monday for us here, didn`t know if you have one tomorrow or Monday, can you let me know?
GLL
O/T Correct Bentley, in the 90%`s I believe.
Good olde UK, land of taxes.

Don`t rely on me, do your own DD and all I will say, is watch the PR`s between now and end of next week.
On a secondary note, I could be wrong, but are you Pizzrod and it is actually you who hides in the tree outside TKO Headquarters watching Ron and Gertrude as you are only just up the road? The Colormixer just being a smoke screen and Pizz your alias?
Just a thought as you must be the nearest to TKO as Sirius has just mentioned!!
GLL
WinOneGipper,
I concur with your comments, lack of news, TKO in quiet mode, Mike and Joe have their lips zipped and I presume today and tomorrow will be a bit of a roller coaster.
The good old rumour mill is working overtime and I hear that we should have some form of news out by Friday, I don`t know what it is, but again, I presume it is maybe just a matter of fact statement that AMEX are now happy with TKO`s response to them re the Independent and the new appointment of a highly respected chappie in Paoni, which has been eluded to in Sonnys recent message, which should stabilise the stock somewhat!!
All the cleaning up of accounts as mentioned many times on this board and all the conspiracy theories are nonsense, i.e. Mussers 2 million shares to him, to his wife e.t.c. this was purely a result of a very messy divorce, nothing else, she must be a happy bunny!!!
The other rumours I hear are that we will actually at long last get this CC at some point between next Monday the 7th through to Wednesday the 9th and other news announced at the same time, then only a week or so after that to Q1 results mid May.
I am not too bothered about this first quarter, the quarters that interest me are the 2nd Q`s onwards, at which time, we will start seeing proper results from EDS, GE, schools, these two new acquisitions and all the other bits and bobs that are going on in the background. It will be an interesting next few months, but one bit of news to come will help TKO out fantastically financially and that hopefully will be very soon as well. The revenues have to start ramping up quite sharply from Q2 results onwards for TKO to hit their $25 million target disregarding the 2 new acquistions, i.e. 25% to 35% for first half of 07 and then the big chunks coming in from July onwards. This $25 million is supposedly cautious, again ignoring the 2 recent acquisitions.
But back to today, up or down, who knows, I feel it will consolidate, i`d love to be wrong, but I do feel it has been a daytraders day yesterday and possibly a bit of short term profit taking today, again, I`m not too bothered as I feel just around the corner, the PPS will be going back up, I`ve not sold a share, albeit regret I didn`t, but I`ve never traded a stock, don`t have the time, I look long term and long term to me, TKO will turn out to be a very good stock and give excellent returns on my holdings.

We will get the long awaited CC very soon and Q1 results in the new 2 weeks.

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Paddy was in New York.
He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians." Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.
He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied, "she came to me on her hands and knees.
"Really," said Charles, "now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."

Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.
BVChuck,
I am fully aware of the censorship surrounding the governmental contracts, I think we all are, but just a bit of guidance and feedback in a general way would be nice.
i.e. stating they have regular orders coming in from EDS or similiar, a very woolly answer, but gives some form of feedback to the stockholders.
Maybe with GE, telling us the 200 chip is actually in production and GE pulling out all the stops to get the inventory for this chip up to decent levels, it`s not mentioning revenues, just keeping the stockholders in the loop in a very woolly way, that`s what I mean, I am fully aware of why specific details can`t be released on these contracts.
GLL
TKO is like that Mel Gibson film, The Conspiracy Theory, lots of guessing going on, good old Nightdude on Yahoo coming up with TKO going bankrupt, mind you, he changes his tune almost daily.
But to bring our feet down to earth, I posted a great article on Yahoo re Long Term investing and point 2 relates almost exactly to the point on TKO`s stock performance yesterday with
the big swings we had up and down, it`s worth a read or it is on the front page of Yahoo Finance if not.
As to rumours, conspiracy theories e.t.c, I hear the Company is very concerned about the stock price recently as well they may be, but until this technicality is cleared up with the AMEX, they cannot and will not announce any news.
As I stated yesterday, the AMEX letter was received 17th April and the technicality was resolved and they responded to the AMEX on the 21st April. I hear TKO and their solicitors feel they have met the requirement with Sadle stepping down and Paoni stepping up as an independent and that they have met with the AMEX/SEC requirements and they expect a response back by the end of the week.
It is felt that the Specialist who TKO have reported 3 times now and they wish to change is helping the shorts, then buying back the stock and then selling again in the closing rally. I imagine the Specialist is aware news is coming and never appears to hold a position overnight and possibly starting the same thing over again the next day. This has been outlined many times by Sonny and a few others, it just seems to be too obvious these last few days, but maybe they think as their days are numbered with TKO, make hay, whilst the sun shines!!
I understand the roadshows are cancelled this week and will re-start next week when this discrepancy is cleared up and finalised with the AMEX/SEC.
I understand that we will definitely be getting some form of revised guidance, now rumoured to be in excess of $35 million and this will be coupled up with that long awaited Conference Call that was surfacing a few months ago and then got scuppered, well I`m told that`s going to be happening again and I think we all need to hear it from the horses mouth just what the hell has and will be going on with TKO, as there always appears to be a dark veil over any form of PR/news with TKO and we have to glean this info from other sites, contacts e.t.c. which is very poor!!
As long as the stock bases and stays above at least $2`s, this can only be viewed as a fantastic buying opportunity for those looking long term and I know many of us on this board have held 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, some even longer, but I feel TKO`s day is coming, it sure as hell just doesn`t feel like it with days like yesterday and today. It will be interesting to see how the end of this week pans out and into next.
I am a long term holder, the current stock price hurts me as much as the next person, but I haven`t sold through this downward spiral of late, but as I am sure as most of you feel, we need to see results, guidance and some form of transparent leadership at TKO that feeds down the chain to you and I, the shareholders, that`s what we need.
The sad part is that we need guidance, PR`s e.t.c., but as I have always stated, the Q`s will do the talking for TKO, as the lack of PR`s and the feedback to the stockholders sure doesn`t do it, but not long until 1st Q, be interesting to see those figures, but I`m more interested in the 2nd Q onwards for this year than I am for the Q1 results.
A long post I know, so sorry!!

Sonny,
People misread these things, yes it states de-listing and some will have sold on that PR, but re-read it, it clearly states they received the letter on the 17th April 2007, i.e. only last Tuesday and by today they have sorted it, Sadle steps down, new chap Paoni steps up as the INDEPENDENT, job done, no mention of de-listing due to trading under $3`s e.t.c, it is merely a paperwork exercise and they have to respond by the 1st May 07.
The k reads worse than it actually is, a problem picked up on by the Amex/SEC, problem sorted in less than a week, nice to see TKO can move when they have to!!

O/T.....Sonny I was offered DEEP a few weeks back, appears to be an interesting stock.
On topic..........Let`s hope we get some nudes shortly on TKO.
GLL
Well, well, well, lots of negativity today, lawsuits, management are crooks, management looking after number one and so on.
Like all, I am not happy with the current stock price, who is bar the shorts, but we have been in this "quiet faze" before, what happened the last time?
Granted, at these prices even with some good news, it will take time to break the $3 barrier again, let alone breaking through the $3.50 and upwards, but there are delays as we all know happen, moreso with TKO than any of my other stocks but they do happen, normally several months later than anticipated, this in my opinion is where TKO go wrong.
RP and the IR guys need to release forward looking projections, too much cloak and dagger stuff with government contracts, hands being tied, strings being pulled, RP and TKO being puppets to the big boys, but I do expect news before the month is out and good news at that which should stop the bleeding and help the cashburn along with several other things which many on this board are aware of.
RP`s vacation finishes this week and he is supposedly out on the road next week with Mike Porter, Joe Noel also but not together, will be interesting to see the outcome of this next few weeks and if the much rumoured CC and revised guidance does actually happen.
I posted on Yahoo that in my book TKO has now become a story for the second half of 2007, taking into account delays for the 200 chip for GE and Homeland Security but GE was always going to be a second half of 2007 story as per their PR, EDS is ramping up nicely I hear with orders coming in almost daily and back orders amounting to sizeable amounts, but the larger sub stations require the 200 chip as do some of the Homeland Security stuff,inventory is low for these chips, but as we all know from the PR, GE are helping with the inventory and manufacturing, so now they are urgently required for the larger sub stations, I presume GE will be pulling out all the stops to make sure this will happen, albeit re-badged a GE component.
There has been no further discussions re the schools, which I am told will be much larger than most expect. What will happen to MST? Time will tell, but as they are the largest draw on TKO`s cashburn, I presume this is being looked at very closely.
Institutions, well let`s see what the next few weeks bring from the roadshows, let`s see if Ron can win them back over the next few months, but revenues must be ramping up in the background, but TKO have the biggest hurdle to get over for the second half of 2007, where if they are to reach the proposed $25 million in revenues, ignoring the additional $9 million for the two new acquistions which supposedly increases the projections to $34 million for the year, my workings out are that they need to do 30-35% of the $25 million in the first two quarters, i.e. $7.5 to $8.75 million, that leaves a steep hill to climb for the second half of 2007, i.e. requiring a further $17.5 to $16.25 million, so a lot hingeing on GE for the months of July through to December, obviously ignoring the $9 million stated above.
From what I hear, that 30-35% should be achievable for the first half of 2007, mainly EDS and Homeland Security, but if the schools do ramp up along with GE and a few other bits, along with some cash injection over the next few months, on paper, their projection of $25 million for the rolling calendar year should be achievable and then even better for 2008.
I am by nature a very positive person and always look on the bright side, I have just been taken aback somewhat by the comments today about lawsuits, management being crooks and thought I`d take this opportunity to outline what is and will hopefully be achieved for the year regardless of stock price and I have posted many times before, here and Yahoo that due to the lack of PR`s, the Q`s will do the talking and will show us the money, but at the current stock price, we do have a hill to climb, but climb it we shall albeit it doesn`t feel that way to many.
Remember why you bought the stock, stocks go up, stocks go down, TKO is still a story stock until we are shown the money which proves they are doing what they say they are doing, hence why I stand by my comments, TKO is a July onwards stock to me, but we need updates from management and I think if they do
actually do a revised guidance, albeit bought money, it will re-instill confidence.
I am biding my time and haven`t posted much of late, but felt compelled to post today.
Take care everyone, regardless of your stance, whether long term investing, shorting or trading, good luck to all of us, we will all have our day!!
Almost midnight now, so I`m off to bed!!

Color,
As STD eludes to, your posts need to be taken note of as very informative, thanks for the in-depth update and your invaluable insight.
Take care and keep those posts coming!!
GLL
Sirius,
The upgraded guidance is coming shortly, but the upgraded guidance is purely $9 million on top of the already stated $25 million, i.e. the two together give the $34 million revised guidance including the $9 million revs from the two new acquistions.
We should get further PR`s shortly re EDS and the rumour re a new conference call is back on the block.
Ron and Mike are on roadtrips 23rd onwards and Joe hitting the road same time but not together.
Hope this helps,

RBT,
Nothing more than I have already posted in several posts over the last few weeks, but it is demoralising seeing the stock price at these levels again, but at least I suppose we know it shouldn`t close below the $2.50 threshold and if it does, there`s trouble ahead.
I think we will be seeing several changes late April and into May, one I won`t post about, the other hopefully for May and we start to see some form of Insty committment after the presentations later this month to the Insties.
I would also like to think we will be seeing some news re EDS and this revised Guidance we keep getting told about, but I don`t feel that will have any real impact on the stock though.
I think many are sitting back and waiting for TKO to show them the money and if TKO are to be doing in the region of $34 million for the calendar year, they really need to be getting their bums into gear pretty sharpish, otherwise, that leaves a hell of alot of revenues to come in for the tail end of 2007.
I`m still happy with the forward looking view for TKO, not happy with them short term, nor the stock price, but for those trading TKO, it is easy to read within quite a defined narrow trading band. Unfortunately, I don`t have the time to trade and watch the screen all day, but good luck to those who have the patience and time to do so.
Take care,
GLL

Ouch,
I heard TKO are starting next week anouncing the $473 million contract with Toys R Us, the $1.8 billion contract with Sky over here in Europe and then coupled with the link up with Microsoft at a staggering $5.9 billion, yes $5.9 billion for built in technology into Windows!!
It is expected stock price will be around the $200 price per share by around late July, as the Microsoft deal has been worked on for the last 2yrs.
Finally it is all coming together, been a long wait, but will make many long termers multi-millionaires this year.
RP has confirmed he will buy Joe Noel and Mike Porter new bikes for their outings for the upcoming roadshows to Insties, but RP will be flying by his new private jet, bought on the never never on the understanding the Microsoft deal is done by the time he has to make his first down payment, but as he stands to make $400 million for his 2 million shareholding, he is not much bothered about the financing on the jet, as he will pay it off in full once the deal completes!!
Hope this helps and I hope you are all having a great first day of April!!!!

Reallybadtrader,
Unfortunately, TKO doesn`t currently have a CFO and hasn`t for quite a long period of time, why not?
GLL
Chaos,
Maybe they fell happy that revenues over this coming year will be sufficient and feel that further dilution is not required, as high enough already!!
GLL
Honest answer WinOneGipper is that we Brits are quite reserved, yes, there are discussions and lots on the news, but looks like Iran might just be making a stand by the look of it to show who`s boss, or the other route, they will be using them as scapegoats to release the 5 Iranians held by the US.
As to Blair, my personal opinion is he has no backbone and is a puppet to Bush.
Maybe they are using the Brits to get to the Americans, knowing the alliance Bush and Blair have re Iraq, but Blair is standing down as Prime Minister shortly, God help us,
we`ve got Gordon Brown more than likely taking over, the current Chancellor of the Exchequor.
I don`t like him as a politician, but he is much harder than Blair and seems to take no prisoners, excuse the pun, as to the current outcome, I hope with negotiations, they will be released and Iran would have made their point and the 15 can return home to their families or back to duties, hopefully nothing like we have seen in Iraq with beheadings e.t.c. as no one deserves that, especially the innocent.
I`ll get off my soap box now, but you asked!!
GLL
I`m confused by your message Chaos?
GLL
Thanks Louie, you too!!
GLL
Increasecometh,
My main concern with TKO is if MST amounts to 50-75% of TKO`s current cashburn rate and with the new acquisitions, is there still room for MST in TKO`s line up?
I did post about this on Monday or Tuesday, but got no responses and I feel it is quite an important question to have asked.
If we couple this with MST had revenue streams of around $6 million pa when TKO bought them, the 10K doesn`t back this up and along with the large cashburn on TKO by MST, my personal feelings are that MST doesn`t have much shelf life left with the TKO group, I may be wrong, but just logically thinking about it, my above comments appear to make sense to me.
Joe Noel is out on roadshows first week of April and Ron P later in the month, both to Insties.
I am expecting several PR`s over these next few weeks, one quite large if it can be PR`d, so I am happy with TKO, but like everyone else, I would like to see it have a proper move upward and hold it, not drop back down again, it has to base out plus $4`s in my opinion to take it to the next level.
As to 1st quarter, yes, it will be better, but not until 2nd quarter onwards will the results show and most of the revenues will come 2nd half of the year.
TKO are allowed to up their guidance taking into account the 2 new acquisitions, so $25 million plus $9 million for the 2 acquisitions, it should be revised upward to $34 million.
EDS and Homeland Security going exceptionally well, but GE revenue not coming to the fore until 2nd half of 2007 as per the GE PR.
We also still have that white cloud hanging over TKO for a GE buyout.
My other issue is, are TKO grooming Sadle to take over? His past a little bit shaky as I am sure others with long memories will know!!
Hope this helps, have a great weekend!!

As to pushing the PR, you are correct, but don`t forget they have their hands tied and can only announce what they are told to announce!!
Roadshows in April by both Noel and RP to Insties. They`ve actually got something to talk about this time round!!

Will there be room for MST?
With this new acquisition, will there still be room for MST?
Looking at the year end figures, MST doesn`t appear to contribute much, or won`t do as we move forward with the possibility of $35 million revenues and as MST is currently the largest drain on TKO`s cashburn, how much longer will MST be allowed to drain TKO, or will TKO merge Etho and MST together?
When TKO bought MST, I believe their revenues were alledgely $6 million pa, year end figures show a very low percentage of this figure for 2006!!
Just some food for thought in a spare moment of mine!!
Thought it might get a bit of discussion going, albeit I won`t be able to take part,as busy, busy, busy and on a late one tonight!!

Sonny,
Revenue means nothing, well gross revenue anyway, it is the net figures after costs!!
i.e. You could have $200 million revenues, but $300 million costs, $100 million net loss.
What were the operational costs for 2006?
MST needs to be sorted as runs too high in my opinion for operational costs and amounts to around 50% of TKO`s monthly, quarterly and yearly cash burn from what I can see, maybe that will be addressed soon.
So we move on now to further PR`s, revised guidance and next quarters figures!!
All have a great weekend.

Sirius,
Apparently they are phasing in the 60 day rule for filers over $75 million, so should get them late Feb/start of March next year if you are still in the stock, but it will also relate to other stocks you hold!!
GLL
Sirius for you, Earnings!!
Words from someone I trust as follows(NAME REMOVED):-
"The final authority - I looked this up under SEC
rules. TKO must file its year-end 10K within 75 days
after December 31 since its market cap is between $75
million and $700 million. That means Friday. Unless
there is some other news, I assume , as usual, there
will be no earnings press release, just the 10K
filing. By the way, the 10Q must be filed within 40
days from the end of the other three quarters."
Hope this helps and does look like this Friday will be the day for earnings!

Sirius,
Totally agree with your comments, but yes, a reliable source and no, not the two you mention, albeit I had been told by two other sources, earnings late March, but whenever, it`s good to get it out of the way, price might drop as we all know with TKO on Q`s/PR`s, so something needs to counteract it.
Within a couple of days, we`ll know which date is correct one way or another!!
Take care,
GLL

BSD,
We have all heard that apparently new guidance will be issued shortly, rumoured around the $35 million revised figure for 2007 taking into account the revenues from the two new acquisitions, supposedly around $6-8 million bottom line to the current $25 million forecast.
My view is that they need to PR the 2nd acquistion quickly, hopefully this week, if the Q is this Friday, release the 2nd acquisition tomorrow and include revised guidance within the Q, that would be ideal, time is ticking on this week, can`t see it happening, but nice if this did happen and would stack up the Q which I think we all know won`t set the world alight!!
