March 2001 Year-End Financial Results
Monday July 9, 2001 05:48 PM
Company Press Release
The Ashton Technology Group, Inc. Reports March 2001 Year-End Financial Results
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2001--The Ashton Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTN) today announced that its net loss for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 totaled 20.9 million compared to a net loss of 6.2 in its prior fiscal year.
The net loss applicable to common stock for the year ended March 31, 2001 totaled .79 per share, compared to a net loss of .32 per share in the prior year.
During the year ended March 31, 2001, Ashton's subsidiary, Electronic Market Center, Inc. (eMC) began the orderly winding down of its operations as a result of market conditions and a lack of financing available to complete its development.
As a result, Ashton recorded a loss from discontinued operations totaling 2.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2001 related to eMC, and a 3.1 million loss on the disposal of eMC, including the write down of its assets.
During the prior fiscal year, Ashton recorded a 5.6 million gain due to the change in accounting for its investment in Gomez, Inc. (a former Ashton subsidiary company) to the equity method, and a 2.5 million gain on the redemption of part of its Gomez series A preferred stock.
Ashton's ownership percentage in Gomez was reduced below 50 due to Gomez's private placement of its Series C Preferred Stock in December 1999. At that time, Ashton began accounting for its investment in Gomez using the equity method of accounting, rather than consolidating the results of Gomez with those of Ashton.
During the year ended March 31, 2001, Ashton also recognized a 2 million loss in affiliates representing Ashton's portion of the net loss of Kingsway ATG Asia, Ltd (KAA), another of Ashton's equity investments and of Gomez to the extent of its investment balance in Gomez.
The KAA loss was primarily a result of a decrease in the market value of KAA's trading securities portfolio. During the year ended March 31, 2001, Ashton accepted shares of Gomez common stock, valued at 884,564, in satisfaction of a note receivable and reimbursement of legal costs from a related party.
Both the note receivable and reimbursement of legal costs were in connection with litigation, which was settled by Ashton in 1998. As a result of this transaction, Ashton recorded 413,980 in other income related to the reimbursement of legal costs paid by Ashton in previous years, a 470,584 reduction in notes receivable and accrued interest, and an investment in Gomez equal to the value of the stock received, or 884,564.
However, due to Ashton's equity method of accounting for Gomez, Ashton also recorded a loss in affiliates of 884,564 to recognize Ashton's share of Gomez's net losses, to the extent of the investment balance.
Excluding eMC, KAA, and the Gomez-related transactions, Ashton incurred an adjusted net loss from continuing operations totaling 13.6 million, or 0.54 per common share, for the year ended March 31, 2001, compared to 14.4 million, or 0.65 per common share, last year.
Revenues from Ashton's intelligent matching systems business, through the operation of eVWAP(TM) and securities commissions on trades executed through Croix Securities, totaled 225,068 for the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to 32,135 in the prior year. The eVWAP system currently has enrolled 115 institutions, broker/dealers and clearing agents.
Recently, additional users have made consistent daily commitments in the eVWAP system. As a result, the eVWAP system's liquidity has increased from a 20-day moving average of 100,000 shares per day in January to 70 million shares per day in July. During July 2001, Ashton will be introducing a "Guaranteed eVWAP Execution Program" in the S&P 500 listed stocks.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding Gomez) increased approximately 48 from 8.9 million to 13.2 million during the year ended March 31, 2001. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the year ended March 31, 2001 was primarily a result of hiring a full-service sales and coverage team to support Ashton's products, and an increase in outsourced labor working on the development of new intelligent matching systems.
Salaries and benefits totaled 5.8 million and 3.6 million in the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, as staff increased from 43 to 56 employees. Approximately 1.6 million and .3 million was paid for outsourced labor in the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2001, losses on trading activities relating to ATG Trading LLC includes .3 million in net realized losses on trades, and .6 million in related broker commissions, execution and clearing charges.
Ashton is an eCommerce company that develops and operates electronic trading and intelligent matching systems for the global financial securities industry. Our focus is to develop and operate alternative trading systems, serving the needs of exchanges, institutional investors and broker-dealers in the U.S. and internationally.
Our goal is to enable these market participants to trade in an electronic global trading environment that provides large order size, absolute anonymity, no market impact and lower transaction fees.
The forgoing press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. A variety of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from current expectations include the Company's ability to achieve expected future levels of revenue dependence on proprietary technology ability to successfully deploy eVWAP technological changes and costs of technology industry trends and competition.
These and other risks are described in greater detail in Ashton's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

And here's the latest news on the Boyles:
Brothers in contempt for 'evasive' testimony
Investors' lawsuit cites $1.5M in losses
Paul Marck, Journal Business Writer
The Edmonton Journal
In an unusual move, a Court of Queen's Bench justice has ordered two brothers from Vancouver jailed 10 days each for contempt.
Madame Justice Joanne Veit made the ruling Friday against Kevin Boyle, 34, and Jason Boyle, 26, both formerly of Edmonton.
The Boyles, along with brother Brian, 31, are the subject of civil proceedings that have carried on for two years after investors allegedly lost a total of $1.5 million they had placed with the Boyles and their associated companies.
In her ruling, Veit found the Boyles guilty of contempt at several points during the trial.
The jail term was handed down in connection with case proceedings from Sept. 30, 1999. Veit has also given Kevin and Jason Boyle a deadline of June 30 to purge their contempt from two related matters.
In the ruling, Veit said the Boyles were being sentenced to jail "for failing to have given meaningful answer to questions put to them on examination. ..."
In fact, she wrote: "There is not much tangible evidence that the Boyles have in fact made serious efforts to provide meaningful answers." Instead, the Boyles' responses were "evasive, incomplete and obstructionist."
Evidence at the lengthy trial showed that on many occasions, Kevin and Jason Boyle failed to provide details of their personal and corporate finances, despite being given ample time and opportunity to obtain records and information.
"However, by effectively stonewalling the investors, by maintaining they are unable to provide any information from Boyle International ... or how they could afford to pay lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars, they have essentially denied to the investors even a shred of useful information," the ruling said.
Veit said it would not be useful to fine the Boyles any amount because proceeds would be paid to the court and not investors.
However, it's unlikely that either Kevin or Jason Boyle will be arrested and returned from their Vancouver homes to serve their jail time.
Instead, they'll likely be handcuffed once they return to court in Edmonton. Veit said in her ruling that she will take further action on the other contempt charges July 13, unless the Boyles purge those counts by June 30.
At one point, the Boyles agreed to an arrangement with the court to pay back investors a total of $900,000 over five years. The monthly payments, totalling $17,000 to several investors, stopped earlier this year.
The Boyles are also subject to separate proceedings for alleged violations of the Alberta Securities Act in connection with investments made in their companies.
Lawyer Karl Wilberg, who acted for the brothers on the contempt charge and for Kevin Boyle in the securities proceedings, declined comment.

How about BOYI
I ran across this POS when there was one particular hypster spewing rah rah rah posts. Almost bought into it when I ran across quit a history with these guys. When I challenged her posts, many more hypsters appeared and tried to drown out the truth. Here's some of the info, but it gives you a pretty good idea.
To find references to the criminal trial and two civil suits, search on “Boyle” here:

Turkawski v. 738675 Alberta Ltd., 1999 ABQB 730
From the ASC 2000 Annual Report available online:
http://www.albertasecurities.com/pdfs/annual00.pdf
“Boyle Inc., Boyle International Inc., et al –
Brian Boyle, Jason Boyle and Kevin Boyle
In October 1998, the Boyles were each charged with six counts of contravening the Securities Act. After numerous defence adjournments, the matter has been set down for trial in Provincial Court, for eight weeks, starting October 2, 2000.”

mst2K thought this was a good post, and that someone should post it here. I agree that it's very good, so here it is. From Don Denson on the Silicon Investor:
To any lurkers .....
this development company has been operating in it's sector of the marketplace for several years now.
It is a very high risk speculation. If you don't have funds to dedicate to this kind of investment in the stockmarket, please, move on. If the co fails, ie, if additional funding arrangements do not occur in a satisfactory manner (this summer) then the sharevalue may collapse completely. You could lose your entire investment in astn shares. If this frightens you, by all means, hit the button above and go elsewhere - like.... mutual fund plays, etc..
On the other hand, entirely...... a modest investigation of company success in the last few weeks "suggests" that the Ashton Technology Group has indeed developed an acceptable VWAP alternative trading system. For instance, last week, at least one user of the system acheived cross-trades of over 8 million shares of prominent NYSE companies ..... anonymously, and at some of the best prices possible in the stockmarket. However, one instance of a successful and profitable day does not assure in any way that ATG will go on to complete it's mission and goals. Needless to say, one can understand and imagine what will happen to astn share value should a string of such 8million sh/days occur for it's premier system- eVwap.
Right now, the lousy overall market conditions, and slow (irritating) evolution of the company's internal development, coupled with doubt as to future funding arrangements which are necessary (yet remain undisclosed officially) keep interest in the trading of co shares down. The current share price reflects this, and trading volume in astn is very light and the range is tight. All this could change in a one day, one week or one month period of time following announcements of funding agreements that would be beneficial to shareholders, or with continuous use of eVwap by well-renown list players.
That's the story in a nutshell. It's the nub of the play. All else, is puffery.... and will have no effect in the long run.
Good luck to you all.

Great post Muel...
"On this one, I would suggest you go to the State Corporation Commission for info. All intentions to drill are on record, as well as legal descriptions for the wells."
I wonder if any of this is available online?
Sara : )
That is refreshingly good news with all the warnings about the economy lately. Out here in the SF bay area (not far from silicon valley), I've really seen the slow down, not only in the job market, but also in housing prices (which is also a good thing)... combine that with the energy crisis and it can start you worrying. But then again, it's relative... it was booming like crazy before, maybe this is more normal.

ROFL!!!
love that little poem.

"When people are extremely nasty and disgusting in their posts to me, I know they are just trying to hide the negative truth from other investors so they can rip them off."
Actually, when people are nasty and disgusting in their posts to you, it has nothing to do with hiding anything, or ripping anybody off. That's classic Mary-think -- it's not enough that we're all losers to you, no, in your world we have to be criminals too. But the truth is that most longs who follow this Board (and the other ASTN boards) are just long on the stock. And we see your presence here as motivated either by money or mental illness (because we cannot discern any other reason why you bother) and we see it as hurtful to the company and our interests as investors.
Personally, I think some of the longs are unable to see you except in terms that are disgusting and crude. You have every right to be upset by crude posts that have been fired your way - just as I have every right to be upset by ridiculous pictures of me that you fabricated and posted here several times, and other nasty falsehoods that you have posted about me on these message boards. Of course, if you've observed the behavior that takes place on Yahoo message boards, you would probably have noticed by now that you are not the first person to be on the receiving end of such crap, and, as a result, you might be less inclined to interpret the uglier posts through that uniquely distorted, narcissistic looking glass that colors everything you see. And you would also notice that rudeness is by no means limited to the longs - one loser thinks it's funny to refer in his posts to Fred's deceased son, and another thinks calling you a skank or referring to an abortion you may or may not have had is clever. Whatever. Each of us can only be responsible for our own behavior, ultimately. As much as I disagree with 95% of what you have written here, I have acted in a civil manner -- but that hasn't stopped you from making harsh (and false) personal attacks on me. So when you characterize the behavior of others as nasty and disgusting, forgive us if we take it with a big grain of salt.
Do you seriously think the cruder longs post what they do because they want to hide what you label as "the truth" in order to rip people off? You're kidding, right? Here's how most of us see it: So much of what you post here is a ridiculous distortion built on the flimsiest reed of fact (usually having little or nothing to do with ASTN), and when anybody takes issue with you, they get villianized and incorporated into your conspiracy theory. When we fight back, you become even more shrill. By your account, the payroll for people out to discredit the "truth according to Mary" must be higher than ASTN's burn rate.
I have said many times that this particular speculation may or may not work out, but if it doesn't, it won't be for lack of trying or bad faith. While you seem to have conceded in recent weeks that ASTN at least has a legitimate product (that SEC approval and that 8 Million share day makes it awfully hard to deny that, huh?), the remainder of the picture you paint bears only the slightest resemblence to reality. And the irony is that you would have plenty to work with if all you really wanted to do was inform people about issues they should be concerned with before they invest in this company.
Hoji is the perfect example of someone who has dispassionately spoken his mind, both positive and negative, and has stuck inexorably to what he believes is the truth. And I cannot recall one occasion where he was vilified by longs for expressing a negative perspective. He has carefully researched this investment and is well aware of the negatives and positives. Somehow, and this is just a guess on my part, I don't think his careful research and your version of "the truth" have anything but the most superficial connection.

AremisSoft Files Federal Lawsuit Against West Highland Capital
Thursday July 5, 9:03 am Eastern Time
Press Release
AremisSoft Files Federal Lawsuit Against West Highland Capital, Wells Fargo Van Kasper, Rocker Partners, The Street.com, and Others
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 5, 2001--AremisSoft Corporation (NASDAQ: AREM - news), a leading international supplier of enterprise-wide software and Internet-enabled solutions for the manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare and construction industries, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court-Northern District of California against West Highland Capital Inc., J. David Scially, Michael Wilkens, Wells Fargo Van Kasper LLC, Martin Svanda, Apex Capital LLC, The Street.com, Inc., and Rocker Partners L.P.
The complaint alleges the defendants knowingly acted together to manipulate the market price of AremisSoft common stock by creating and disseminating false and misleading information to wrongfully obtain profits for themselves and their affiliates. The defendants are accused of creating and disseminating knowingly false analyst reports, press articles, and/or other public statements containing false negative information about AremisSoft. The complaint alleges defamation of AremisSoft's good name in the investment community, and the business world, unjust enrichment by virtue of short sales of AremisSoft common stock, negligent disregard for the truth, and violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A jury trial is demanded.
AremisSoft alleges that concerted action by the defendants was conducted to reduce the price of AremisSoft common stock in order to facilitate the profitable covering of shorts sales by the defendants and their affiliates. A key initial action was the publishing of a false and misleading analyst report by J. David Scially and others of West Highland Capital, that was sent to stock broker Martin Svanda of Wells Fargo Van Kasper with the express intent to broadly disseminate the misleading information. Subsequently, it is alleged that false and misleading statements and the threat of loss of business was carried out by Rocker Partners. The Street.com knowingly published false and misleading reports, which aided and abetted the rumors and false statements of others, in order to induce panic selling in AremisSoft common stock. AremisSoft alleges in the complaint that these defendants and others acted in concert, in an illegal conspiracy, to defame AremisSoft and its officers, in order to damage its business reputation, and reduce its stock price. Additional parties may be added to the complaint by amendment if discovery in the case suggests others were involved.
AremisSoft is seeking relief from these acts including:
- Compensatory and general damages;
- Special damages;
- Restitution and disgorgement for wrongful profits and compensation;
- Injunctive relief;
- Prejudgment interest;
- Punitive and exemplary damages; and

I apologize if I over generalized. I have seen wording above the ads that is obviously negative towards IHub.
Sara
Island Life,
"...in a way that made it look as though you had included it yourself,..."
You're right, if it looked like I put it there, I'd be concerned. But IMO anyone who follows IHub for more than 5 minutes is going to realize that the ads are generated by IHub, not by an individual poster. Also, since you can prove the ads are from IHub, you are not liable.
Sara : )
Marty_lewis,
As far as the imbedded charts, pictures, etc etc etc.. I don't like them, and I object to them. I want a choice as to what I view, and I also don't want to take a chance that someone is going to do something "funny" to my computer.
I share your concern on this issue. Then on the other hand, some posters like Vendit post some very good charts that are very informative. It's a shame that abuse by a few makes it difficult for the majority that would not take advantage.
Sara

Are these personal attacks?

Please stick to the issues and leave personal attacks out of it. You obviously have a major problem with me personally which is why you have followed me here from rb then to yahoo then here, following my every post on every board I post on, reposting my posts all over the web. You must spend 24 hours a day stalking me. Please stop this.

you posted all my personal info., researched all my sites, called me on the phone and called me the b word before I ever responded in same.

Can a person block getting private messages from other members?
Sara
BoP & DickMN,
"Those disclaimers are clearly intended to harm the enterprise." - DickMN
I agree with both of you on this point. I believe it's a poorly veiled attack on IHub.
Also, I'd like to say that I think some of the people complaining the most about personal attacks are they themselves the most guilty of doing so.

"You started attacking me on rb for no reason
you posted all my personal info., researched all my sites, called me on the phone and called me the b word before I ever responded in same.
I've given you many chances to stop this activity but you haven't stopped. I can only assume you have some weird crush on me. Please knock it off. YOu are totally grossing me out."
Who's attacking who now on IHub?
Sara
I don't understand why everyone feels the need to put big disclaimers about the advertising links. At least the IHub advertising is low key and not obnoxious like popup ads, etc.
Sara : )
Geez, don't you think you overreacted to my request for a link? It's a reasonable request.
Also, if you can't provide a link, for whatever reasons, then I have to question the credibility of it.
Sara
Please provide a link to your source.
Sara
As for replying to this post of yours. I'll just repeat my stance on these issues.
1) Making a false statement of fact and qualifying it as opinion does not keep you safe from liability.
2) The rules apply to everyone, including you, including myself.
Sara
If you were going to delete my post, why did you respond to it? Highly unfair to have your opinion remain and mine deleted.
Your statement "You slandered me." is a personal attack.
Sara
pretty weak excuse.
Sara
Thanks Matt!
It's especially appropriate in some cases.
Take care,
Sara
You have a problem with this post?
"Understand that there are differences between statements of fact and statements of opinion. You may be legitimately sued for false statements of fact, but not for statements of opinion. Be careful. You will not be protected for stating, "In my opinion, Senator Squelch is a liar and a thief," unless, of course, your statement is entirely true. If your words contain an assertion of fact that is capable of being proven true or false -- i.e., that Squelch is or is not a liar and a thief -- you can be sued if it is shown that your statement is false, even though you tried to qualify the statement as "opinion.""

Interesting post commenting on Instinet, Fred and Ashton...

I am not vouching for this poster, but I especially liked his comment:
"As far as the issue of looking at the volume numbers every day, he says it's foolish to concentrate on such a micro level."

Thanks for the definition John, I was pretty sure that was what it meant, but my dictionary here didn't have any definition for it.
