ML: While I generally agree with much of your comments re the meaninglessness of opinions expressed on these boards, I believe you give too much weight to the effect of the stock price and the associated turmoil on the actual business operations of a company like EGMI.
If there is an intact business plan etc then all this tempest would, IMHO, have pretty much no effect on the ongoing business of EGMI outside of the management time that is diverted to work on the accounting and legal issues.
As long as EGMI is providing product people want to buy, pays it's bills on time, ships what and when it is supposed to, the turmoil in the stock price won't be of any concern to most of it's B2B partners and particularly not to the final customer.
You've got to remember that the business plan is predicated on EGMI having proprietary technology that the customer can not get elsewhere. So long as the business keeps functioning why would the customer care whether the stock was $4.00 or $0.04??
Most of the business was supposedly not with large companies that might have some rules about getting in bed with thinly capitalized vendors.
If the sales are there and the company ships then the business can run merrily along while the share price languishes and chaos rules on these BB.
