ok folks, here is the email sent to des and friends for the CC:
Mssrs. Milligan, Brola, & Brola -
here are several questions that ihub-ers are asking regarding the company, and are hoping to be addressed during the conference call. i only edited the list for obvious repeats and unrelated questions. i did not check for things that are "simplistic", since there are many people who bought shares but are, unfortunately, not reading PR's or the ecflinvestor.com website. what may be simplistic to some of us is not necessarily so to others, so without further ado:
!!QUESTIONS FOR CONFERENCE CALL!!
1. Will the ticker symbol change in the near future to reflect a closer resemblance to "Market99" to attract new investors?
2. Will there be an R/S in the near future?
3. Will there be a change in the share structure at all?
4. How many locations are close to or are in the process of actually being secured?
5. Once secured, what is the estimated time frame of when they will open?
6. What is the current real status of any uplisting?
7. What is the company currently doing or plan to do for the future to market and sell the brand name to increase investor awareness and attract interest for potential new investors?
8. What kind of advertising and marketing plan is in place to let the general consumer know about Market99?
9. Year to date, what is the approximate profit per square foot for Market99? What do the sales figures look like? also, will financials be available on the website?
10. What accounting firm is being used or will be used to complete any financial audits? Are they or will they be SEC compliant and approved for uplisting purposes?
11. What if any plan is in place to make the consumer want the Market99 brand over the competition?
Our first store is funded, is it true that the next 5 stores are already funded?
Can you convert your (Dez's) shares into preferred to maintain your voting rights but to effectively cut our O/S in half to help raise the share price so that you can better fund future expansion?
Do you think that a lot of serious investors are still sitting on the side-lines until you post your photo and Bio and until we get the pinksheets verification and that then we will go to the moon later this week?
Do you plan to move Market99 to a HIGHER EXCHANGE and what is the time-line on that (ball park guess is ok)?
WILL YOU HOLD OFF ON A REVERSE SPLIT UNTIL WE MOVE TO A HIGHER EXCHANGE WHEN IT COULD BE USEFUL TO ATTRACT LARGER INVESTORS???
WHAT IS YOUR 6 MONTH TARGET FOR SHARE PRICE (BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPECULATE TOO MUCH OR THE SEC MAY NOT LIKE IT..... SO CHECK WITH LAWYER IF THAT TARGET IS A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE TO US OR NOT)?
What plans do you have to attract larger investors who think long term (higher exchange, promotions, reverse split?)
Is the SEC happy that you found a way to give long term investors a second chance and are they supporting you and investors and helping us reach our goal of success for Market99 and giving people all over the nation jobs at Market99 stores?
Would you consider making Lucy Liu our spokesmodel? who is the official celebrity spokesperson, if there is one?
If you wish to have nice jewlery in your new stores (ECFL jewlery stores opening in malls in future) then go follow the links on PRMO of Dror's jewlery from Thailand and China made from Madagascar gems - they are GREAT... but Dror and Gerry may already have their own ideas on distribution. (not a question but an idea)
where are those other 200M shares not owned by des or the float?
what is the timeline for the next 1, 2, & 5 years?
how close are we to opening 5 more stores by year's end? 13 by end of february '08?
beyond the tx/ok area that we are in now, what do expansion plans look like for the market 99 stores? where are we going to see our first jewelry store, and what are the future plans for that chain?
what is the proposed profit margin target for the jewelry chain? are we on target for our market 99 margin of 40+%?
