Sirius,
I`ve already thanked them!!
Now tell me one thing, the guy who did the report is a TKO guy, so I assume TKO know about this Trend West stuff, ok, I`m being sarcastic, how come it`s not been put out by the PR guys, what exactly is it they do, correct me if I am wrong, but, we, as shareholders are paying these guys no doubt huge sums of money to do PR, push the Company towards Institutions e.t.c. but something as good as this, which could turn eventually into 580,000 units with the parent company, doesn`t get an airing from the PR company.
It appears we find these posts out by detective work and our networks and this report is direct from a TKO guy/employee and TKO don`t tell the PR guys or the PR guys are not aware of it, now that goads me, we are paying for the lack of news, which either holds the stock up or helps newbies to make decisions, which then brings in new money and the ball keeps rolling.
I`ll get off my high horse now and I`ll go to bed!!
Nunnights everyone, even you Colormixer!!!

Try it again Pat, I`ve just been into it off my post to make sure it worked and it did.
Take care,

Sirius,
I know you were getting slaited a bit about the recent solar panel news, have a read of the Trend West PR I`ve just posted and the last few paragraphs very interesting, especially the last one, but they mention about energy monitoring, see, you were right, that should stop them in their tracks!!
Have a good night, late here.

Sonny,
For Nasdaq listing, it is 15 consecutive days above $5`s, it can drop the next day.
However, downside is that there is a waiting queue to apply for Nasdaq and this can take several more weeks. I understand TKO have had the papers ready for a while.
Christine x
Hi Walrus,
Yep that`s spot on, I posted about this a few weeks back and I commented that it appears that from July onwards it would appear that TKO is currently running about a quarter behind itself, so the explosive 4th quarter we were expecting will still be extremely good because as you state, shipping has started, but good old EDS eh, we have a saying over here which I don`t know if it`s the same over there and I`ll keep it clean, "EDS couldn`t organise a p&ss up in a brewery!!"
4th quarter will be very good, but the explosive 4th quarter now moves round one to Q1 2007, but so what, it will happen and no doubt there will be a bit of rockiness around that time, hence why I feel the GE news won`t be announced till after Q3 results to get it back on track, albeit some say we might even get news by this Friday re the GE meetings this week, I can`t seriously see that happening.
p.s.
Nice to see you posting Walrus and not getting slaited everytime as we do on Yahoo, albeit Colormixer is trying his best.
Colormixer should be jumping up and down, we`ve had a decent up tick today on moderately light historical volume.
p.s.
I have a bit of news I`d like to share with everyone, it will follow!!
Take care,

The table below lists the selling stockholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the warrants, as of October 13, 2006, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholder on that date, without regard to any limitations on such exercise. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholder.
In accordance with the terms of registration rights agreements with the selling stockholder, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 130% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants specified above as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. Because the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants, the selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause the selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.

Rao,
It is the offering of stock to Kings Road, i.e. the end of the toxic financing paid off Sept 15th 2006. It appears they are getting the final pay off. You may recall the 20 day period when it was in their interest for the stock to be as low as possible and the stock went through a bit of a rocky period.
The good news is, this is not stating they will be dumping all the shares in one go and I imagine they won`t dump any with the imminent GE news and they will hold and ride this stock up over the next month or two or keep longer term for a much better return, a win/win situation for them.
The S-3 also shows that the outstanding $900,000`s for the other 50% pay off to Frank for the MST deal is due Jan 2007 and no further payments until they reach 3300 subscribers for their quadruple play within a 3yr period.
Personally I don`t think this S3 is any great shakes, but legally has to be filed and I can`t see them dumping those shares short term unless they don`t care what price they get for them.
I will post the final 130% pay off after this.
Hope this helps you Rao!!

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholder include shares of common stock issuable to the selling stockholder upon exercise of the warrants (i) issued in connection with the repayment of the Convertible Senior Note on September 15, 2006, (ii) issued on October 27, 2005 in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes and (iii) issued in January 2006, July 2006 and August 2006 in connection with accelerated payments under the Convertible Senior Note. For additional information regarding the issuance of these warrants to purchase common stock, see “Business History” beginning on page 1 of this prospectus. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership by the selling stockholder of our securities, the selling stockholder has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
Isaiah,
I think this could well be true, but I know Briefing.com follows this stock also, so that repport could have triggered the daytraders from Briefing.com to come over.
I do feel we probably had a few shorts covering today also, but I personally feel word is getting out about the GE meeting next week and maybe people are buying the sizzle and not the sausage. I don`t know if that saying is the same over there, I think you use buy on the rumour, sell on the news.
Obviously there is also a lot more news to come out but appears to be being talked about openly now, i.e. Homeland Security, the Time share, Earthlink, now released, EDS as and when and I am pleasantly surrised that TKO is doing everything it set out to do and promised, albeit as normal, not to the dates originally told, but nonetheless, it is happening.
All have a good weekend and I`ll be pleased if it closes at $2.93 or above and hopefully a bit more sizzle next week, but I agree, whilst the volume is here, TKO need to announce further PR early next week whilst this stock is on the radar re volume.
I think mid November will be excellent, as we should have some news out prior to earnings on the 10th Nov and GE hopefully announced by mid November as well, coupled with the shorts interest to announce around then as well, i.e. falling and gives the stock a much needed boost.
Hope this helps,
Christine x
Excellent Ouch!!
Christine x
Walrus,
On behalf of myself and I expect most if not all of this message board, I would like to firstly state, it is nice to have you back posting and secondly, thank you for bringing your knowledge and information to this board.
We all have our contacts, but it is nice to hear it from others which tends to verify the information that comes to our ears, sometimes it differs, but generally it basically amounts to the same, which is great, just maybe totals and figures appear to differ.
I wish you and your good wife a good evening and I`m off for some well earned sleep as gone midnight over here!!
Christine x
Ouch,
Only two very small bucket seats in the back, but big enough for my 9yr old twins!! It`s a 2+2 coupe!!

Color,
I think we will see between $5-$6`s by year end, subject to the GE being out and more importantly, some sort of revenue guidance forward looking, that I feel will help the stock the most going into 2007, otherwise if no guidance, then the stock price will have to do the talking and the 10Q`s!!
Christine x
Ouch,
If TKO hit $12`s by year end, that`s a deal, but I`d have to hire one over there as mine doesn`t turn up to Jan 07!!
Christine x
Thanks Walrus, as Sonny posts, Trendwest have 580,000 rooms, but I understand it is only the Time share ones at present, is that your understanding as well or have you heard it may go over to the other 562,000 rooms if they are happy with the 18000 rooms?
Christine x
Walrus,
Would you agree or disagree that from your sources, that revenues estimated for 2007 to be in the region of $10-$20 million, possibly even £30 million if all contracts hit and filled during 2007, these are the figures I am hearing, which if it is the case, that is phenominal growth over 2006 and previous years.
TKO has been a long time in the making, but really from July this year onwards they do appear to be doing everything they set about to do, but I do still feel we`ll see the makings of a buyout from sometime 2nd quarter onwards. Your thoughts on this particular paragraph gratefully appreciated.
I heard Trendwest was 12000 rooms, but 18,000 is even better.
Looks like I`ll get my trip on that US Navy ship to my timeshare afterall!!
p.s.
I hope you are well and your wife is looking after you just fine!!
Christine x
BeJesus Ouch, I tink you be right there Sir!!
Christine x
Isaiah,
I believe we will get guidance on Navy contracts/EDS imminently, but revenues as Sonny states, won`t start hitting until 1st quarter 2007 due to EDS working on quarterlies and it appears they overlooked the last quarter and then it is 90-120 days to fruition.
I think behind the scenes, RON/Tko is getting a little fed up at the pace that EDS move, which I am glad that this has finally dawned on him, hence why the first batch of chips are going to Homeland Security rather than EDS as they are needed sooner at the airports than for EDS.
It will be interesting to see if the GE connection who will be helping out with the chip inventory/manufacture if GE only help with their own stuff or carry it over for the likes of EDS and others.
Hope this helps,
Christine x
Isaiah,
I think you find that GE has been pushed back for several reasons, mainly other depts now getting involved, as posted, there is a 3 day meeting with GE next week Mon-Wed and involves many depts of GE.
Also and you`ll like this, when the legalities happened and to be frank, TKO is currently a minnow in comparison to GE, when the legals started, GE legals tying TKO guys up in knots and their lawyers couldn`t keep up. Companies like GE have excellent laywers behind them and many many bodies, I believe if I am correct, TKO had 11 lawyers, so you cna imagine how many GE had, but agreement pushed back to November for legalities to be sorted and for the other GE depts to get their head around the technology and how they could use it as they were told to do.
I`m sure we all watch Boston Legal, I think that show is a prime example of how good lawyers tie lesser lawyers up in knots and I imagine this is what has happened with TKO. Out of their depth maybe, but they are trying to grow quickly, but now it is not just small contracts with ok companies, they are now starting dealings with multi-nationals and to work through the various red tape and levels within an organisation like GE is not an overnight situation. I also understand that GE will be helping with the inventory, which is fantastic.
I hope this helps put your mind at ease re GE, but it will be a mid November onwards story, possibly sooner, but for me personally and as Walrus has stated many times, as long as it happens, that`s the main thing.

It`s a bit naughty, but brought a smile to my face!!

"It was time for Father John's Saturday night bath. A young nun, Sister Magdalene, prepared the bath water and towels as instructed by one of the older nuns. Sister Magdalene was also instructed not to look at Fr. John's nakedness if she could help it and to do whatever he told her to do.
The next morning the old nun asked Sister Magdalene how the Saturday night bath had gone.
Oh, Sister," said the young nun dreamily. "I've been saved."
"Saved? And how did this fine thing come about?" asked the old nun.
"Well, when Fr. John was soaking in the tub, he asked me to wash him, and while I was washing him, he guided my hand between his legs where he said the Lord keeps the Key to Heaven."
"Did he now?" said the old nun.
Sister Magdalene continued, "And Fr. John said that if the Key to Heaven fits my lock, the portals of Heaven would be opened to me and I would be assured of Salvation and eternal peace. And then Fr. John guided his Key to Heaven into my Lock."
"Is that a fact?" said the old nun.
"At first it hurt terribly, but Fr. John said the pathway to salvation was often painful and that the glory of God would soon swell my heart with ecstasy. And it did, it felt so good being saved."
That wicked old Devil," said the old nun. "He told me it was Gabriel's Horn, and I've been blowing it for 40 years!"
Colormixer,
It won`t be big news, just PR, but the GE is expected around mid November, 3 day meeting with GE next week with several other depts over Mon-Wed, PR`s expected as been listed before sometime in November, that`s the big news, the other stuff bar Homeland Security I feel will be just flowery, but yesterdays announcements re Earthlink is just the tip of the iceberg if the trial goes well.
Christine x
Sonny,
I`m using my 15 posts up fast tonight!! Re further PR`s, I believe we have 1 or 2 more to come this week, obviously not the biggy as that`s been put back, but neither are going to set the world alight if they do happen this week.
Christine x
Sonny,
I very much doubt it, as it should have been released almost 3-4 weeks ago and you know what Color, michelob and nthomp are for my predictions, but hey ho, who cares!!!
Todays announcement is just the tip of the iceberg for the Earthlink connection, it is a trial, nothing more, nothing less, but all the trials beforehand have always gone well, remember the substation people who a VAR of TKO`s did a trial for and they took it over after two weeks if I recall correctly rather than waiting the 4 week period or longer as they were so impressed with the technology, wasn`t it ConEd?? I can`t see Earthlink being any different re this trial.
Christine x
That`s ok Sonny!!
Christine x
Which one ae you going to remove this time??
Only joking Sonny!!
Christine x
That`s ok Sonny,
Christine x
Huey,
I think you have hit the nail on the head. 3rd quarter figures earlier in the year were thought to be excellent forward looking and 4th quarter dynamite, I think these forecasts have move a quarter back in my opinion and I expect 3rd quarter to be ok but not setting the world alight,4th quarter will be much better, but I now feel it is 1st Quarter 07 that we will start seeing proper revenue figures and I am told we will see revenues at a minimum $10-$20 million for 2007 as a year, which apparently is conservative, but nonetheless, a phenominal increase percentage wise over 2006 and previous years, that is what will get Wall St to sit up and take notice, I just feel it is a shame that the stock has to do the talking and not the Company from my personal point of view.
Christine x
Got ya thinking though Ouch eh?
I`m off to bed now, 10.50pm over here,

Just thinking out loud Tony!!

Colormixer,
I did a vague answer on Yahoo, that will give you an idea!!
Here`s a prediction, I think I did the post yesterday, but I could be wrong as always!!
Christine x
O/T..How many can you identify with????
All have a good weekend and Happy Birthday to Sirius for Sunday!!
Christine x
Although a little biased, this is actually quite an accurate appraisal of
the basic differences between men and women...
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call each
other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.
If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer to
each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla Peanut-Head and Scrappy
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in £20,
even though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller,
and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he wants.
A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't want.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a
bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man
would not be able to identify most of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
CATS
Women love cats.
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage,
answer the phone, read a book and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist
appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and
hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
One for Chaoss and Ouch,
