someplay,
Rich,
You can see by the info below Rich that GTE had about $1.72MM
invested in CGI. (The 16.5MM share value plus $352K in cash)
If the proposal were approved the following would happen. The $1.4+MM that we owe CGI that is on our balance sheet would disappear. If they transfer the 66K+ shares back to GTE at todays value would be approx. $198K(66k x $3/share). The remaining 213K shares if sold by CGI and given to Joe Monterosso, head of Centerline, would erase the $481K that is due to them per the 10Q which is shown below. In essence would erase $1.9MM owed on balance sheet and have 66K shares back in teasury. So, GTE would come out over original investment and this is why the independent auditors are saying it isn't reasonable to the shareholders of CGi but OTOH it is noted by the auditors that a GTE share price at $2.50 or more provides CGI a way to pay their creditors and have working capital to boot. IMO, the higher GTE's share price is the more likely the proposal will pass..Hope that helps some...rock
