wbrislin - No, he said "a month and a half" - exact quote.EOM
cape - That was me - Well he still has about another week. That's all I can say about it.
Whattsup - If down that far, I will be buying for sure.EOM
Brian - That was a really cool story - one that could never have been dreamed up by any wild imagination. Thanks
Rattman - All I can say is I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I think you and I have a similar financial/ family situation, except you are employed, right. My wife is working. Maybe I can cheer you up by letting you know that my average price is currently at $3.10, and I have more confidence than ever in CPTC. I still have another stock which I believe is about to boosh if you are interested - EZTO
Lentinman - I didn't base my decision to hang on and buy Fri. soley on the words of the secretary. I read the BK filing and the subsequent plan twice over each (while wiping away my tears LOL). I also conversed by phone with a couple other investors/ trusted friends, one of which had just talked to J.C. on Thursday. Finally, I weeded through numerous posts and especially paid close attention to the ones from legal types. This was the best I could do short of another personal emergency trip down to the company. I might try to do that this week anyway. I'll let you know.
Bogey - Patsy predicted on Thurs. on RB that big money will be buying tomorrow (Fri.). I can't find the post but I'd say he was right on.
Sebass - IR won't release that information to shareholders its inside the boardroom walls only. However, IR will tell you that there will be an announcement within a week or so from today about a very lucrative deal done. The receptionist will tell you that they are producing core and filling orders. That's about as specific as you're gonna get.
Derx is back on RB:

eagle - It's been a busy work week for me. Haven't looked at RB since last weekend. Still long, haven't sold, added shares this week
I feel for those who got shook and sold on BK Day (hard to forget this Cinco de Mayo!). The road is much clearer for CTC now that litigation has moved off the front burner.
I would guess the others you mention have posted. It's just hard to see the flowers with all the weeds growing now
nj, Phil, Ratt & Lent - I hate to throw a monkey wrench in your investigation. LOL But some investors likely sold after the 10Q. It would be very difficult to distinguish which reason for the share of sales.
Phil - Maybe this will boost your confidence - not trying to pump just my observations as posted on RB:
The way this whole thing played out really tells you something about the integrity of our management team. Imagine if they PR'd good news, sold their shares, then dropped the BK bomb. OMG I don't even want to think about that enron-esque scenario. Thanks to the new security laws/rules and the enforcement thereof. Go America!
DTgoody - you should change your alias to DDgoody.LOL
Brian, I think it is a lack of integrity when a company issues PRs for every little thing. JMHO
Hi Phil - I hope we can still be chat board buds. You were right on. Anyway, on a positive note, I have more shares than I did a couple months ago (on alot of borrowed money though). Did you get any today, or are you still playing the cautious pessimist?
Itrytowin - You're welcome. I had a hard time this morning operating my mouse and keyboard this morning because I was shaking so bad.
Looks like the strongest run I've seen in weeks - picked up 2200 shares at .54 OH YYEESSS!!
Rattman - It looks like I will be able to hold and maybe even buy some more today if you can believe that at prices rivaling those who were in this thing 2 years before me. All my active trading and diversification paid off. Apparently, I paid all of my margin, because I had no maintenance call when I looked at my account this morning. Just depressing to look at my account balance. Long and strong.
I guess so, you take on multiple responsibilities working at those small companies, eh.
Itrytowin - No, but from what I understand and read about this type of chapter 11, is there no changes. Trading continues as it always has. Sarah did specifically, and non- chalantly say, its just business as usual. Here is one of my recent posts from RB regarding the phone conversation between myself and the receptionist/secretary. Since its probably my longest post ever. I thought I'd carrry it over here.

Mike91208 - You know its difficult to differentiate truth from lies on this board. The only way to maybe convince you that I speak the truth is by being more explicit with the details of the conversation. Otherwise, I recommend you try calling yourself. My exact question to Sarah regarding the Chinese was "I heard the Chinese were in to visit you this week, is that true?" She said " Ya, they're still here, they've been here since this morning."
Mike, I really don't know how to express this better, I'm not a pumper or a basher. I admit, I own thousands of shares ( still and plan on holding), but certainly not to the order of some of these guys. I am an engineer and I do strongly believe in the product and its demand in the world and have previously posted as such. From my conversation with Sarah, I would have to say the company is really doing quite well. Unless she was an academy award winning phone actress. Her tone was sincerely positive in my ear. Granted, she may not be privy to every piece of financial info, but she seemed to have a real grasp of the situation with the Chapter 11 filing, the lawsuits and the consequences with the share holders. She doesn't sound like one of those real young fast food drive through order taking chicks if that's what you are thinking. I asked her how long had she been working there she said - since Feb. She was well informed and prepared to take on shareholders questions just as an IR person would be. Anyway, this is definitely my longest post for sure, call Sarah Little yourself (949)428-8500 if you doubt any of this. You can even mention specifics from this post. My name is Brad Thomas - she should remember our 10 minute conversation.
Rattman - I just talked to the CPTC secretary/ receptionist Sarah Little for about 15 minutes through repeated holds - she confirmed there was core production and purchase orders to fill. Also, that the Chinese reps were still there (all day today) and that they are a big customer! They are not going out of business, not even close. This chapter 11 was simply to get out of the lawsuits and focus on the business. P.S. She also told me to stop crying. LOL
The one day I spend most of it away from my computer and look what happens. Double F###! Its gonna be a huge maintenance call. Anybody got money to lend me?
SHmoulton - A small sell order. But then I cancelled it. Think I'll be hanging on for a while.
Davillionaire - Patience, man. This stock should be worth over $.30. IMO
SHmoulton - I tried to hit it but it wouldn't go. I even tried hitting it with .077, .076, .074. Still no go.
Steinmason- Maybe Otto thinks if he waits long enough, all the shareholders will forget the spin off divy. LOL
Domerfan - I recall a post from an experienced investor that said that if you see a really wide spread by the MMs prepare for a strong northward trend. Do you remember it? In real life when I see a wide spread, I usually take off my clothes. LOL
Ratt - I feel your pain. However, picked up another 800 shares at about $1.38 ave. No pain, no gain right. Awaiting my next maintenance call. AARRG!
Steinmason - You forgot the biggest of all - the TV ads.
Researcher - Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the CPTC execs have pretty deep pockets:
INTEREST INCOME Interest income increased to $5,284 in the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2005 from $0 in the prior year quarter and to $32,544 for the six months ended March 31, 2005 from $0 in 2004. The increase was due to interest earned on higher cash balances.
These cash balances are about $16,000,000 if they are getting 4% apr. on it. Somebody check my math, its getting late.
mrsmith - picked up 10K(shares that is) at the ask of .064 just before the bell.
Symbol change is official - no more "E".

CanWest Reaches Financing Agreement With CIBC World Markets
[Press Release] Market Wire via Yahoo! Finance - May 02 1:00 PM
CanWest Petroleum Corporation, an oil and gas exploration and development company, announced today that its subsidiary, Oil Sands Quest Inc., has reached an agreement with CIBC World Markets, Inc. to appoint them as an exclusive placement agent, on a best effort basis, to complete an equity financing.
I believe this is a significant development.
Any opinions on the numbers in the 10K from experienced penny stock investors would be appreciated. I'm new and need a little help.
The 10K:
Results of operations
Revenues
The Company is a development stage technology Company that had only $1,510 in operating revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and no revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. EZ2 companies, Inc. purchased controlling interest in Edgar Filing.net, by purchasing 45,344,208 shares of common stock on May 25, 2004 for the sum of $155,560. The Company is in negotiation with several potential partners for its technology in each Internet area, and hopes that such partnerships will allow third parties to expend the marketing funds to launch these platforms nationally. The Company also has purchased assets and continues to seek asset purchases that allow the Company to create partnerships with companies, or to acquire assets of existing companies that have registered users, which would enable the Company to market its service offerings directly to those users.
Expenses
Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were approximately $692,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and approximately $44,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Professional fees were approximately $35,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to approximately $17,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Salaries and officer's compensation were approximately $280,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as compared with zero for the year ended December 31, 2003. Additional selling, general and administration costs were approximately $377,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, which included approximately $176,000 in advertising, $80,000 in consulting and $36,000 in rent expense, as compared with approximately $27,000 in total selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
These expenses are primarily driven by expansion in staff and support as the Company attempts to launch its technologies and internet portal sites; including advertising, marketing and selling expenses related thereto, as compared to last year's expenses which were primarily attributable to maintaining reporting requirements and searching for business opportunities for the Company's shareholders.
Interest Expenses
The Company incurred interest expense of approximately $29,000 related to its note payable to a stockholder for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, compared with zero in 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2004, our total assets consisted of fixed and intangible assets of approximately $168,000, and prepaid expenses of approximately $305,000. The prepaid expenses arose from consulting agreements and service agreements entered into during the year, in which the Company paid for services to be delivered over a two-year period with common stock. The Company issued approximately 29,450,000 shares in exchange for these services. At the same date, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $265,000. Since the acquisition of the controlling interest Company by EZ 2 Companies.com, Inc., and the subsequent change of business plan, the Company has relied upon a demand credit facility from a shareholder of the Company. No assurances can be given that our revised business plan will succeed or that this shareholder will support the cash requirements of the Company indefinitely.
The following table lists the future payments required on our debt and any other contractual obligations as of December 31, 2004:
OBLIGATIONS Total 1 year or less 1-3 years 4-5 years More than 5 years Bridge Loan (1) $375,542 375,542 -- -- -- Operating Leases (2) $302,434 81,389 129,726 84,852 6,467
Total Obligations $677,976 $456,931 $129,726 $84,852 $6,467
1. Represents bridge loan from shareholder
2. Represents operating lease payments for office equipment and contractual rent obligations for office space
Net Loss
Our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 resulted in a net loss of approximately $719,000, compared to net loss of $44,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The loss increase was due to a rise in advertising and consulting expenses, professional fees and officers' compensation as we moved into full-scale development of our Internet technology.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period yielded a loss per share of $0.01 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 versus $0.00 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual differences could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the following addresses the Companys most critical accounting policies:
Income Taxes:
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assts will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. A valuation allowance has currently been recorded to reduce our deferred tax asst to $0. Accordingly, our potential deferred tax asset of $0 at December 31, 2004, may never be realized if we do not become profitable.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company will recognize revenue for services when those services are delivered, and receives payment via credit card settlement for all services currently offered by the Companys web businesses. The prevailing accounting guidance to be applied by the Company in its businesses with respect to the presentation of revenue on a gross versus a net basis is contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as later clarified by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent (EITF 99-19). The consensus of this literature is that the presentation of revenue as the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of goods or services or the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. The Company has some web businesses in which it would act as an agent, such as ez2vacation.com, and others in which it would be a principal with credit risk and direct revenues, such as ez2ask.com.
Intangible Assets:
Our long-lived assets include intangible assets and as of December 31, 2004 had a net balance of $152,777. We amortize other intangible assets over their estimated economic useful lives. We must record an impairment charge on these assets when we determine that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value is not recoverable if it exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment of intangible assets based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the fair value of the other intangible assets, which could trigger impairment.

Someone tell me - How closely did this match your expectations?
I'm a new investor and this is the first 10K filed on one of my stocks. Any opinioins would be appreciated.
DC - On a golf course somewhere.LOL
DC - My house is in Detroit, MI. My home is in CA.
Rattman - Look on the bright side - 2% in a week is still better than a home equity loan. Check out Hammer's posts on RB, it should make you feel better. I got similar info about 4 weeks ago from J.C during our telcon. No guarantees of course.
Steinmason - Thanks, sounds like a good guess to me. All this alphabet soup drives a new guy, like me, bonkers.
911 - What do those acronyms mean?
DTGoody - Don't you mean the Ottoman Empire?
