The recovery of AETE into a viable company is going to take a lot of hard work.

First the company has conducted it's own internal investigation of activities involving unauthorized and illegal conduct on the part of individuals who attempted to use AETE for their own peronal gain from the inception as a text book pump and dump scheme.

Second all of the information that has been gathered has been and will continue to be turned over to the proper authorities for the appropriate legal action under SEC Regulation, Federal Code and/or the state law in various jurisdictions.

3. AETE will have a lot of work to do in rebuilding it's reputation by establishing itself as a viable entity in the market place with everything in place and the decks completely scrubbed to move the company forward. This is typically difficult enough for a start up but will also have an added measure of difficulty depending on the view of the companies stockholders and the market as a whole.

All of this is going to have to be accomplished over time as it was conceived in the context of the origional business model for AETE. And, there is no way to assure anyone that it can be done in a week, a month or a year. Companies are built on hard work, integrity and the ability to produce a product or service in a commercially viable manner. This has to be accomplished over time delivering on real performance based issues.

Unfortunately there were some people who targeed the company for it's use as a stock manipulation play as they have done with other companies in the past. I think it would be fair to say that the repercusions of all of this remain to be seen in how the investing public views viable company activity in a measurable business model that delivers results which are peported over time as is required in SEC regulations.

There is no easy answer and as always there are details that may never see the light of day about everything that has actuially transpired in the cleanup of the company but the management will have to be as forthcomming and transparent as possible.

One big question is what will the market opinion be of a company whose management recognized that the company was being used as a scam and went to extraordinary lengths to not only make the commited effort to stop the illegal activities but to also make sure that the highest degree of cooperation was engaged in with regulatory and enforcement agencies.

It has been my observation that often companies who have been abused in the manner to which AETE was subjected have a very difficult time overcomming the stigma of those associations in the short term. The level of concentrated effort demanded takes its toll in many ways some of which are incapable of being measured immediately and there is always the potential for ongoing "targeting of the company" by unscrupulous groups such as those that heve been identified who were contracted by Jonathan Gilchrist for unauthorized stock promotion although this may not be the case for AETE in the future because of the specific "promoters" being reported to regulatory authorities.

There are and will be a lot of "ifs" that will have to be dealt with in the future. Any investor would have to look seriously at the appropriate facts and due diligence information on the company as it is provided through the porper channels before making any decision on the viability of investing in AETE of any othe company. One thiong that I would say also is that at the mkoment anything that has been stated through any stock promotional group needs to be considered with a jaundiced eye until more specific information is available from the company itself.
