Seems, like CC is doing a better job down South. I am from Illinois and checked several stores about a month and a half back. None had a setup at the counter. One had not sold a jewel in a four or five week period. I checked a few times.
But they may have changed the positioning of the product now. I will have to check a few of the stores again.
Where's your town?
What's that 70's tune again. Midnight Gaming at the Oasis...
Heck, I think we would have a better chance of getting more sales, if we stocked gas stations throughout the country. Particularly the oasis that you see off of the major expressways.
Not sure who owns most of those but they do get alot of traffic from truckers and commuters.
CC, you have about a month to get it going..
Wick, sounds like a great idea, but where are we going to get the extra inventory as well as the funding for the distribution centers? Now I think we have the answer for all that A/S.
Z, you got me thinking with that question.
The info. I gathered is from the 12/31/04 and 12/31/05 10K's. As well as the 06/30/06 10Q.
I started with 04' figuring that was when GZFX came about.
For the year ending 04' and 05' your looking for the Statement of Cash Flows.
Each Cash Flow Statement has 3 main areas. cash used in operating activities, cash used in investing activies, and cash provided by financing activites.
So I get $3,431,896 + 10,282,882 + 5,955,149 = 19,669,927.
End of Period Cash as of 6/30/06 = $3,459,127
So I figure $19,669,927 - $3,459,127 = $16,210,800 cash churned by the company during the last two and a half years.
Now not all that cash was used in operating activies, we do have the several million in inventory...
Damn, that stuff taught in Accounting just doesn't go away. I haven't worked on one of these statements since school.
Two or three have closed near me in the last 6 months. It will be nice to see them close alot more stores
Don't worry Wick, we'll find someone else to buyout if need be.
I think that John will want to leave it for a while as a just in case. If we get lots of cash flow and revenue by the end of the year, maybe he then will take some of the A/S off the table.
Wick is saying that the culmination will lead to .15 I for one would love to see it! I just think that something has to be done about the A/S first.
Got a message back from Mcdonalds. Looks like the monopoly promotion is being offered this next month. Will we be included or is something bigger on the horizon?

Excuse Me..
To make everyone happy, 8000 was a number used as of the 1st quarter 10Q, 8400 was the number used as of the 2nd. quarter 10q. Not going to pull up the 10Q's right now, but I believe they were both averages for the quarter. The important thing to remember is that there was less advertising going on and the 2nd. quarter is a slower period.
Hey decent, I am going to have to look for that myself. Chicago distribution center right around the corner.
CIDD, I think Amarillo was added also. They are really covering the texas region well.
Would still like to see CC maybe package GZFX along with XBox 360 systems over the holiday season. Everybody that buys an Xbox also receives a free 2 week or month subsription to GZ.
Hmm.. we are giving away several xbox systems during the tour. you never know.
Yeah, makes sense, I forget that there are tons of other companies trying to advertise there services also.
Thanks, it will be great to see the improved sub picture in the 10Q.
Hey, has anyone seen any of the banner ads this weekend. I looked on a few websites like myspace and sports illustrated and could not find them. I wonder if they are just running them during the weekdays? I would think the weekends would be the best time.
Like the size and placement of the ad. Finally figured out they should stick us in the game section. Maybe during the 4th quarter, CC will put us in an ad the size of the Direct Tv one they have on page 13.
USXP was over 8 cents during February or March of 2004. It was under a penny in late January or early February of this year. With news it ran to .045 as a high in February.
Hey memory working today afterall, here's the link.
Xan can you provide the snapshot.

Thanks, Xan.
I guess dvd marketplace.com is the same site as vmhsales.
we still have the old banner ad on this site
http://www.vmhsales.com/dvd_main.html
Earlier in the year I thought we were on some gifted kids site. But I cannot remember the exact name.
TBS, thanks again!
If we become profitable enough to buy back most shares we would see that number.
Very nice, just checked it out, we have a square ad at the bottom of the page, as well as, a banner ad on the right hand side.

Z, I found the GZFX banner on IMDB under the my movies tab. I had to sign up here also.
Z, I went to myspace and saw it yesterday. I had to sign up first though. Once I signed up and clicked on Invite it appeared as a banner on the top of the page..
I am sure there is a different fee arrangement.. The company must be aware of the unsupervised children on the net. Some possibly right here from our website.
Speak when spoken too.
Cool...
Hobo, you beat me too it...
Someone from RB posted that we have a banner ad on IMDB(internet movie data base), but I can't seem to find it on that site. Can someone else post if they see it there?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
there is something better out there for each of us
do we remember that amongst our toils? We must!
so let's pray for dennis and his family on this day,
he is somewhere where happiness is forever on display
Our time here is very short, so let's be wise
good memories and good times are God's blessings in disguise
we will carry forward, though life can be cruel
living on a planet where corporations and politicians rule
we all hopefully will have our day
when we can all see Dennis in the place where happiness is on display
What???
Right with you friend. Two Parents, 9 months apart. Time does help though. I am in also.
