Yes ID, I do own Tivus and no I don't post on other sites.
Can anyone name the bod?
While you guys are slamming the technicals, you are bypassing the heart of the business - AD REVENUE that has to show up. In the DT deal if they don't get an $11,000+ per month ad revenue we pay up. So..... no ad revenue, no SP now or ever. Pay attention to this because this business lives or dies on this. It has to work.
I don't know where their financials are being filed, but I go to otcbb.com and no financials are being filed with them! Where are they filing these things??
Has anyone gone to the downtown Philadephia Marriott? Is there anyone in the Philly area who would go to the downtown Marriott to see if they could either stay or request information relative to the system, i.e. "I am going to stay in this place and heard about this new system. What can you tell me about why this should be my choice?" Yes, I know that is hokey, but if this system is in place as we have been lead to believe, the hotel folks should be familiar with the operations of Tivus. If the company is not giving out information then they have to expect that shareholders will begin to do their own investigation to gain info. For me, I want to know if the advertising is working out. If not, this is a killer. If so, this is a reason to buy and buy big.
Brian you are right. Now we are contributing to the nonsense that frustrates shareholders and ruins good dd on boards. No one is RSing, or raising shares to sell, etc. We just want the company to be more transparent.
Uplisting to the otcbb will help, but it is not a cure all. Those revenue reports from the Philadelphia downtown Marriott are the real silver bullet.
OK, well the financials through 9/10 are as bad as we thought. However there are no real surprises for me with the exception that if these big ad revenues don't come in we will owe DT a lot of money. Those nice clean charts of monthly revenue better work or Tivus will be toast. But that is what pink sheets are all about; ideas that sound great and if they work can make the risk takers fairly wealthy. That's our gamble, folks.
Whenever you have a pink sheet clam up, it is either really bad news coming(most likely)or manipulation for the benefit of friends, etc.
I am going to present a whole new scenario. I have examined the pr being released from tivus. First, it is like an impacted bowel! Now, the company has decided to release absolutely nothing. Before, if someone passed gas, it was on the web. "We talked with broadcasters, cab drivers, dancing girls and they all say we are great." Why clam up now? Absent a buyout and the company has to lay low, I think it is a deliberate attempt to drive the price down for the benefit of larger and more wealthy investors. These are friends of friends who are loading up and waiting for Tivus to deliver news and business that will make them a boat load of money.
This is the burdon of pink sheet companies. They get so paranoid about giving people good information, they don't give any. We should not be guessing about a financials release!!!!! They should give a date with a caveat that if any last minute problems occur, they may delay 48 hours. We should not have to guess. This is one of their stated goals about financial accountability and they are leaving their shareholders in the dark about one of the most important things they will do this year. Stop messing around and get transparent.
Tivus needs to get financials out asap. Their future depends upon some news that reflects they are actually getting $'s from their business.
There was some talk of uplisting. Tivus is not even close to jumping to the nasdaq and actually is still far away from being anything other than a pink sheet. There is no board of directors, no audit committee, no ethics statements, etc. Let's just get financials and go from there. We need revenue; that is king!
Well said dmoinvest!
Well, if the company has actually received $357,000 from DT, it should show up on their financials. If Host has actually paid for their televisions (500) then they should show up on financials. It this doesn't show up I think that forensic accountants need to pay a visit to Omaha. If these do show up and if there is also some ad revenue posted, I think the liklihood of this company making it moves from "maybe" to "possible" and in pinksheet stocks, that's about as good as it gets before it lifts off. It is rare, but it has happened.
What can Haag or anyone else say from Tivus that will really influence this stock? That is why financials (a step up legally from corporate promises) should be the focus of our attention. Pr's and promises won't move the price. Numbers will move the price per share. The only pr I will give weight is directly from DT and Marriott. Blow all the TIVUS pr's off. They are self-serving and "forward looking". Right!?!
Here is what is important right now. What do we expect out of the financials? I must tell you that I do not expect a balanced budget or even a pretty report. What I do expect is a report on REVENUE, and revenue that is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to their posts, that should be a no brainer, or someone has intentionally been pumping the future (that's a nice way of saying someone has been a big fibber!). I expect share dilution, I expect expenditures that are large and debt that is increasing, but I have looked at a boat load of pink sheet stocks over the last few years and one thing almost never appears: REVENUE. Revenue that also includes the first advertising income. Outside of this a PR on future contracts would be nice. I would like to hear other expectations on the financials.
Thanks Aeschylus 1. We all need to keep our powder dry and give these guys a chance. Unless they are just lying through their teeth, this is still a company that has a tremendous amount of topside, and I do trust the Marriott and DT connection. Remember that this is still a tiny, tiny company playing in the big leagues of entertainment/hospitality industry. So, I for one, will give them time and withold my judgement based upon eventual performance.
I agree this has been a silly season for Tivus. The worst imo is the total and complete lack of communication to shareholders. I have emailed through the company and Mr. Haag for whatever reason hasn't responded over the week. Now, this is a small company with limited staff, but if you can't answer email, get the "media" section off your web site!!! Or at least send out a general email saying something unique like, "I am snowed and will get to everyone asap." But of course, nothing. Now I invested in this company for their 1. tech and 2. connections with DT and Marriott. If any of these go, dump this like a bad habit. Until then, I am patient, but disappointed in what looks like bush league business management. Redeem yourselves and get your financials out this next week and tell us how much revenue you are actually seeing to date on your installations. No charts of estimates, no we hope statements. To quote Jack Webb, "Just the facts, Mam, Just the facts."
Well, as an investor I certainly like your scenario better than mine. At least we agree that at the moment the company financially is not in good shape. Hence, the stock price and all the more need for current financial information around quarter four of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. GLTA.
Well if we look at the Jan.20, 2011 3rd quarter report, no one has to wonder why this stock is drifting lower and lower. The financial position of this company is precarious at best, and loaded with debt and at last financial report, no income. It will take a real Hail Mary pass to keep this company afloat, and promising hotels that they don't have to pay anything to get big $'s may be a selling point, but it doesn't pay the company bills. I don't see how they are buying any tv's or installing any advanced equipment. The Tivus credit rating has to be very, very poor. Tivus and Mr. Prakash better get some substantial news in front of folks, because so far all my inquiries have fallen on deaf ears and there is the appearance of big promises and no blow to pull off a corporate miracle story. Sorry to be so negative, but it isn't a pretty picture.
I should have been more clear. I did not mean that .60 was where the price would go after financials. For me, that is an end of year price. I hope that isn't being too pessimistic, but rarely do these things explode. I see a long, arduous road north IF financials indicate a company that is 1. Well managed 2. Showing income that will continue to grow 3. Completing business deals that show a real future. With the MOU with Host, I hope and trust by year's end we should really be showing some very, very good numbers. By good I mean specific and credible. Follow this with Host contracts over the next 5 years, and this company should take off. However, if any of the above (and pinksheet companies are notorious for this) falls through, we will just hover around the penny stock world. By the way, if this company is moving ahead, I hope they rocket past the OTC:bb to the Nasdaq. Much greater credibility if they can pull it off.
Here is an interesting part of the first quarter of Host properties financial report:
Major renovation projects that were completed during the first quarter include 98,700 square feet of meeting space at the Sheraton Boston, 87,500 square feet of meeting space at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, 36,000 square feet of meeting space at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill and the renovation of 1,001 rooms at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter. The Company expects that renewal and replacement expenditures for 2011 will total approximately $300 million to $325 million.
Downtown Philadelphia Marriott is where tivus is being installed.
When audited financials are released, and if those financials give even a glimpse of potential ad revenue for 2011 (I am estimating that this figure should be around $2,000,000), then a .60 price figure would be reasonable given OS shares and warrants based strictly on ad revenue. IF Host signs future deals, it is all gravy.
Thank you, Nathaniel. Perhaps they can get these public financials posted asap. I know we all hope so.
OMAHA, NE -- (Marketwire) -- 01/27/11 -- Tivus, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TIVU), a provider of turnkey HD IPTV media entertainment technology to the hotel and hospitality industry, today announced it has attained OTC Markets' PS Current Information status, the highest tier attainable on the PINKSHEETS.
Can someone help me find this? This should be easy.
On January 27, 2011 Mr. Prakash stated they had finished financials and filed them with the otc market. I cannot find any registration of these financials with the otc market. Indeed, there are warnings posted that this company is not in compliance. This is exactly why the stock is dead in the water and going nowhere. Prakash and company need to make this job 1 if this company is to be taken seriously. Failure to release financials is a failure of fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders. I hope they file these and soon.
I know. They are going to revolutionize the world of communication in hotels, but can't answer a simple question. Duh!
The price on this company will not go up until the financials are posted and they respond to questions. I wrote them on 4/28 and I still have no answer to a very simple question. Not even, "I'll get back to you in a week." Failure to communicate kills more companies than any product, good or bad.
What happened to tvmetguy? Did he work for the company?
I think we are missing something that needs to be talked about. If we are re-equipping the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown hotel with 1408 rooms, whose paying for this? I hope that Tivus is not trying to do this out of shares! We know we got $300,000 for the Doubletree deal, but business is business and the Marriott's can certainly afford to equip their own hotels. Are they paying anything, and if so, how much? And what about the relationship between Marriott Development and Tivus? Marriott Development says they are in a "relationship" with Tivus. What kind and does it involve financial backing? And yes, where are the TIVUS financials? I e-mail the company, but don't get responses from them. So those of you with more experience with this company, please share out of your experience. I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just get some DD answers.
By the way, does Steve Haag actually ever answer an inquiry on the website? Has anyone actually talked to this man via mail or personal conversation? Thanks.
I don't know a lot about tivus, but it seems to me that the biggest news that could be released would be somewhat positive financials. Stocks prices are based on revenue and performance. GLTA
