$IHSI - ADDRESSING CONCERNS W/ FACTS AND MINIMAL OPINION
You raise several valid concerns. I will do my best to answer with facts from my perspective(in blue).
The first question you raise is regarding the company servicing debt.
Short answer = NO.
Long answer - No and Why...
It is not uncommon for a hedge fund to purchase old debt in the form of restricted shares. Especially from a company that has strong fundamentals, such as IHSI. The shares would be restructured in a different asset class cleaning the company's books and positioning them for growth. In turn, the hedge fund would sell the restricted shares at future date and time. In my opinion, this is exactly what is happening here.
All those notes can get wiped out in an instant with restructuring of their debt and capital structure. They ARE laden with toxic notes, BUT I've taken another VERY strong look at their financial statements. IHSI HAS cleaned up their balance sheet, significantly. They have a great business model and show significant growth. They are audited and current with the SEC. One of the key things to qualifying for better financing is filing an S-1. Recall IHS filed an S-1 in September 2015 and an amended S-1 in December 2015 but they weren't current with their filings (a requirement) and had little to zero company assets (another requirement). Coincidentally, they ARE current now AND they have almost $3 million in assets thanks to their acquisition of Cresent Construction. Now I may be a fool for five minutes for asking the question, but doesn't it seem strikingly familiar that Company X outlines all the aforementioned touch points in order to qualify for much, much better financing?
On 8/27/2017, I went into further detail what I believe is going on in IHSI.
Then we have the unusual trading activity pointed out earlier this week.
In further evidence of Hedge Fund involvement I pointed out back on August 31, 2015. This matches perfectly with the link above on the 50,000 share block trading occurring this week.
Your concerns of a RS are noted and addressed below.
A very simple answer to a common shareholder question.
Short answer = NO.
Long answer - No and Why...
I spoke to Paul and relayed my frustration about this, as well. Management found it prudent for legal reasons to play it safe in the 10Q. There are just too many positives, not to take management's word for it. Improving fundamentals, debt conversion, increased revenue and assets, and part of a law suit that has already ruled in their favor. They all qualify the company for better financial restructure.
Here is Paul's response: Quote: The 10Q is a legal document. You have to consider all possibilities. The company has stated it does not want to do a reverse and has no plans for a reverse.
Personally, I just don't see a RS happening until after a MAJOR run is conducted. Management has given us "their word" and there are just WAY too many positive things going on for that to happen.
My last thought regarding a reverse split has to do with management. I ALWAYS do my research on management before making an investment and frankly I trust management has shareholder concerns in their best interest too. Here are my thoughts based on facts:
