For anyone who seriously thinks this is going anywhere - you might need to go visit the Serenity Lodge recovery center for some recovery yourself.
An "oil/gas company" goes into "drug and alcohol recovery" and brings in $11.5 Mil in a year. Do you know how many patients you need to treat to bring in $11.5 Million? At 30 beds, that's 383k per bed per year. Not happening. You wouldn't pay that much at a beachside recovery center, nevermind a bunch of cabins in the woods. And there's no way oil production was a significant portion of that as it hasn't been since I bought into this garbage in 2007.
I'm still waiting on my six cent 2013 dividend that never came. Granted I've been reverse split into oblivion and the only people who received a dividend were probably newly gifted shares to begin with.
If someone has some insight on how to get started in the pinks, let me know. I'd like to pay myself a nice big whopping CEO bonus for doing such a good job raising all that money with stock sales. Then I can continue to make up earnings reports that say how splendid I'm doing. These people have to be filing a federal income tax report - all the SEC would have to do is compare the earnings statement with the shit they release on PR Newswire and bam.....shut 'em down.
I just hope they come through with whatever they are coming through with quickly. They have yet to seal the deal on anything announced recently.
"Letter of Intent (LOI) to form a strategic partnership"
"I can't go into all the details of the solution, but basically HISS is being paid to integrate our Cyber Tracker technology into a full bus solution"
I'm willing to bet that the bulk of the payments don't begin until after the full bus solution is created and Sky Shield finds someone to sell these things to.
"the potential to change"
"opportunity for sales"
"Sky Shield USA plans on approaching the country's largest school bus operators"
None of these phrases explicitly translate to revenue because there won't be any. We'll end up spending more money developing this technology than we'll make selling it. Why would you go with a HISU solution when there are companies out there that have been providing these solutions since 2006 and we won't be ready until 2009 at the earliest? Don't you think these other companies have already approached the largest school bus operators? What clout do we have in the GPS industry that would convince someone to pick us over AT&T? (translation: none)

And they're going to use an RFID reader....I mentioned they should be focusing on RFID over a year ago. These ideas are getting stale and it will be harder to break into new markets as a latecomer. Nothing about this plan is innovative. The device will not sell unless they plan on pricing it at half the cost of their competitors.
Someone needs to shake Fred and wake him up. They need to develop technology for future trends, not saturated markets.
(Just frustrated because at one point in time I could say we had a better product, and now we are just playing catch up.)
Ooops, I just boosted their internet traffic.

Homesea Segregated Insecurity Systems Enters Multibillion Dollar Traditional Energy Market (Fauxwire)
ARDEN, NC--(Fauxwire)--Apr 30, 2008 -- Homesea Segregated Insecurity Systems, Inc. (Other OTC:HDSU.PK - News) is pleased to announce that the Company is entering the multibillion dollar traditional energy industry by marketing the petroleum used in the manufacture of the plastic housing of its Cyber Evader. Bovine Feces, an oil and gas research group, is showing that these energy markets can expect a $5 billion dollar growth as a result of increased oil prices over the next two years.
The Cyber Evader product line uses a substantial amount of petroleum in the manufacture of its plastics. The devices are also capable of reducing petroleum consumption by managing fuel costs. It can ANALyze routing, idle times, joy-riding delivery men, and speeding tugboat operators (Ferris Buler's day off anyone?).
"When you consider the petroleum used in the manufacture of the Cyber Evader, and the rising cost of this resource, customers are really getting a great deal. The Cyber Evader they bought a year ago should now be worth significantly more than when it was purchased because it costs more to produce the plastics now. At the same time, it can help manage gasoline usage and help customers implement cost saving programs. Right now we are trialing the Cyber Evader with a small mulch delivery company, Poo to You, that is looking to move from traditional diesel to flatulence powered vehicles. They hope the Cyber Evader can provide the data to facilitate a statewide rollout of this new 'fart-cart' technology," stated Frud Wacks, CEO and President of Homesea Segregated Insecurity Systems.

Big Apple, can you please pump us up to about 15-20 cents so I can at least walk away even before you dump?
Thank you.
Granted, I might be getting a little ahead of myself...............
We need to sell some CTs that we have before we can keep developing new technologies.
Or maybe those explosive detectors they have in the warehouse.
GTT also provides a CDMA tracking, and a satelite based solution......
To round out the offerings.
They'd have a technology for every location of the globe.
They also have AGPS solutions (location is triangulated by using the signal strength of nearby cell towers.) This isn't the most accurate solution, but it provides a decent approximation in areas without a clear line of sight to the sky. Traditional GPS has some serious problems in NYC (I was recently in one of those new cabs that thought we were going up Fifth avenue (which runs downtown) when in fact we were going up Eighth. The location would also blip in an out with the signal, which i hear is a problem with some friends' GPS units.
I'd like to see some high speed cellular technologies. Things that would work in Japan and other solutions that would allow large batches of information transfer between the CT and the "home base." I know that high speed coverage isn't ubiquitous in the United States, but there is very good coverage in Europe. This would allow attatching high bandwidth devices like webcams/thermal cams (for heat sensitive applications), etc.
Not much, as there isn't any useful info in that post. People who work for GTT seem to have a background in tracking things. I guess that's good right?
Reverse merger please with a minimum 10,000% increase in PPS.
And five magic numbers with a sixth very magic number while we're wishing.
Worked for this company back before they IPOed. The value of the hardware and licenses are worth more than the outstanding shares. The cameras were valued at tens of thousands alone.
Don't know how many they still have or if any of it has been liquidated.
A little DD on GTT and the people who work there.........
Forgive me, I'm not psychotic or schizophrenic I just found this info when trying to get a value of GTT to HISU.
Here we have a list of the past Latest News as presented by the GTT website:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060506055942/www.globaltrackingtech.com/news.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20070415160831/www.globaltrackingtech.com/news.html
You'll notice an announced joint venture company (which nothing more is ever made of), a sales contract with Saudia Arabia, and a sales contract with tracking/package application.
There are three major names that keep coming up in relation to this company. They are Bill Lockwood, Matt Holland, and Floyd Raynard. All three of them can be found on the Florida Department of State website:
http://www.sunbiz.org/corinam.html
If you look at the inactive GTT entry, you can see that at one point the company had all of them listed as managers/members. This changes in the current filings with the most recent only listing information for Floyd Raynard.
Bill Lockwood is probably the most interesting of the three. The first record I was able to find on him was as a Marketing Manager at McCaw Cellular Communications.
After that he was employed as a CP of Sales for BI Incorporated.
http://www.bi.com/
BI Incorporated is a criminal justice technology firm.
After BI, he worked for Pro Tech Monitoring , Inc. as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
http://www.fcw.com/print/5_235/news/61163-1.html
http://www.ptm.com
ProTech produces GPS systems that are used to track high risk parolees. (As well as those out on bond.)
Approximately a year before the formation of GTT, he was given a payment in stock by Isecuretrac Corp. (Search for Bill Lockwood)
http://www.secinfo.com/d12TC3.1B94.htm
I don't have any additional information on this payment, but I find it interesting that Isecuretrac Corp. lists its main competitor as ProTech.
The next record I have on Bill is at GTT. I do not know if Bill is still working for GTT but he is not listed in the latest Florida DOS filings.
Next of the gang is Matt Holland. Matt lists himself as a Co-Founder of GTT,
http://www.linkedin.com/in/theadventurepreneur
but there is no mention of him on the website and he is not mentioned anywhere in the Florida DOS filings with the exception of the first filing with the now inactive GTT record. There is however a London contact number on the GTT website, and he does list himself as the Senior VP of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Last of the gang is the CEO, Floyd Raynard. Skier pretty much covered him, but I do hope he's a Warren Buffet type of homeowner or GTT is worth about as much as HISU without the shares to sell. I won't post that link to that, but you may get what I'm hinting at.
Know what the big red flag about this for me is? I can find out more info about the people who work for the company than the company's sales.
The drivers I spoke to in NYC are making a fuss about it because the system the city has approved costs $3000 a unit. If they don't own their own cabs, they will have to pay a higher fee/cut to drive someone else's cab and if they own their own cab they don't see the benefit of a $3000 investment that doesn't bring them higher fares.
At this point, if I had $500 I'd rather pick a number from one to thirty-five and have a go. Or maybe one of the greenies.
To wait this long for a shareholders letter that could have been released weeks ago is disappointing. There are no big secrets. There were no new sales. We already knew about the willingness to incorporate shareholder ideas. We already knew (assumed) we were bleeding shares and money. So why make us all wait for weeks to release the letter? To dangle a carrot of a few bids? I can go out and bid on thirty governmental/municipal projects, it really doesn't mean squat.
I guess I'm not sure what would have made me feel better. I'm probably already in the too far gone to be optimistic about HISC anymore category. I'm obviously not going to sell because the stock isn't worth enough to bother. I think what bothers me the most is the change in positioning on the buyback of shares. We go from "we will be buying back O/S" to the "how did you think we would buy back O/S without any money?" Why would we keep asking about a buyback? Maybe because as of the beginning of this year, you made a buyback one of your goals.
I have an idea Fred. Don't bother PRing anything unless it's a major sale, as the cost of running a PR only drops the PPS.
GSM/iDen doesn't have a high enough data throughput (bandwidth) to do clear non-choppy video. Think 320x240 at 1 frame every three to five seconds. CT/HISC is a little behind the times with cellular technology. When they have an EVDO/HDSPA version, then you can do video streaming. Even then Verizon/ATT would charge an arm and a leg for the service.
Or they added 2 Billion to the float, sold to a private investor for the cost of .0001 per share, covered their operating losses for this quarter (sales would have to increase 200% over last quarter in order to break even), and the investor is flipping these shares back to the MMs at .0002 which to the MMs and the investor is a steal, but it's dropping the PPS due to the increased volume.
I guess my biggest problem with the whole thing is that the difference between operating expenses and revenue for last quarter is about the value of what's been traded in the market, give or take a hundred grand (assuming this doesn't continue indefinitely). There haven't been major PRs about huge sales this quarter. I think we may have had more sales last quarter based on PRs.
This leads me to another thought. How are the operating expenses for HISC $1.6 mil a year if everyone on the BOD has been forgoing their salaries like they said at the visit? At first I thought it was just debt, but if you look at the accounts payable, and long term debt, we're not exactly paying any of that down. And considering they count only $2000 for the lease deposit, they can't be paying that much rent for their offices.....so where is all the money going? FW has done a great job bringing that down from where it was with Moody, but it still seems high.
I have faith in the company to a point, but when people give complacent answers on why the volume has shot up like a rocket I begin to get worried. If there was some great everything's fine answer, wouldn't they release that information rather than watching the PPS continue to drop?
If it hits .0001 we can officially buy every outstanding share for less than a McDonalds franchise. (And as you can see, the run on buying/selling hasn't brought the price up any so I'm assuming you'd probably be able to buy the entire float at .0001.)
Anyone interested in chipping in and taking this puppy private?
The number of shares traded over the past week or so seems immense, but when you multiply it out we're only talking about around $200-300k. Net operating loss for last quarter was $293,585. The amount sold would about cover that operating loss.
Not that I'm a conspiracy theorist or anything.
GSM Frequencies - Anyone know what they are for the CT?
Let me apologize beforehand for the acronym hell we are about to enter. I guess Code Division Multiple Access, Global System for Mobile communications, Integrated Digital Enhanced Network, and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System mean about as much to most people as the acronyms. If you have questions about my questions, ask and I'll try and give understandable explanations. The differences in compatibilities and technologies are a result of an industry fighting a Qualcomm monopoly on wireless standards.
I've seen a lot of buzz on this board in regards to the approval of GSM by Cingular/ATT. The thing is, ATT uses 850Mhz/1900Mhz in the United states and the rest of the world uses 900/1800Mhz. Will the GSM CT have more than dual band US frequency support so it can be marketed internationally? I know a lot of ATT's phones are now Tri-Band 850/1800/1900 for world support. Does anyone know what GSM chip this CT uses?
Also, does the iDen version have additional GSM support for world roaming? Motorola added GSM support to some of their phones so that they would support world roaming. Does anyone know if this is how HISC is marketing the CT overseas, are they selling the satellite version in all overseas contracts, or are they only targeting smaller international markets that support iDen? (iDen has very, very limited coverage with the exception of North and South America).
And does HISC have plans for UMTS support later on down the line? If they plan on using this heavily for M2M, they could use a higher bandwidth data service than standard GSM and iDen support.
Good work with the contact.
Added untapped sales from a large client = cha-ching!
Let's hope this pans out even if it's only the added press of "investigating relationships" with some new blood. The more companies like this HISC works with, the more "street cred" they will have with other prospective clients.
UPS already has something like this, but it's only for their high end shipping due to costs. Basically they use something like a CT (Pretty sure it's an in-house system) to track the truck with your package in it. They also offer temperature monitoring via IR cams for heat sensitive shipments. HISC implements the RFID, drop the the total cost to UPS, and you never know.....
Then there are the military supply chain uses.....
Where were the munitions unloaded, what supplies are left on the transport, etc. You link it all up with some nice real-time reporting and there's another market.
HISC Cyber Tracker Product Information Question -
I've been lurking on this board for a bit and watching the discussions. It seems like one of the biggest challenges to HISC is the ability to sell an adequate number of CTs to generate a significant profit. From a fleet management/tracking perspective (I don't think at $500 a pop they'll ever use these for keeping track of the oil level in a car.) these devices are good, but there seems to be a very big untapped potential here. Has HISC looked into attaching an RFID sensor to one of these CTs? "A key feature of the Cyber Tracker is its ability to be equipped with a near endless range of sensors."
Think about the possibilities here. A shipping company does not want to lay out $500 for each pallet in container shipping or $500 for each package in van/small truck shipping. Instead they buy one $500 CT per container/van. They also purchase an RFID sensor attachment. For each package or pallet they purchase a sub $1 (I think you can get them as cheap as $.05 in bulk) disposable RFID tag. The shipping company now can determine at what point a package/pallet is added or removed from a van/container. If the products are perishable, they can also use any of their additional sensors to detect humidity, light, temperature, etc through the trip. With this new setup you can now determine if items are removed from the van/container at the correct geographical location, or if a package for delivery is missed. You're basically increasing the value of the product without an exponential increase in cost. From what I've read CT is based on Linux and other open source software, so developing/obtaining a RFID sensor driver for it should not be difficult. I'd even be willing to write it if it would drive up the value of the stock.
Just a thought. All the talk of being positive has me daydreaming.
