Good post.

I'd like to see a running total of O/S on a regular basis. How about weekly?

They've got all these gizmos and whatnots on the site, why not put any and all television ads on the site so those of us out of market can see what their marketing message is.

And more transparency on what consulting fees and the like are going toward. Or maybe a more specific, detailed explanation of many of the operating expenses. Anybody that's ever dealt with preparing financials knows that there are areas that things can easily be hidden under, I want to know for sure that this company is not doing that.

Given that I keep harping on the marketing, I'd like to see examples of what they have been doing.

* Pictures from the golf tournament (and some info on how much was spent v. ROI from it would be nice, too)

* Pictures from the extreme games (likewise, some info on expense v. ROI would be nice)

* Supposedly there have been commercials of some sort in the areas of either DCs or CC roll out; I'd like to see some of those commercials if they exist.

* Are they leasing or buying the bus? What's the expense v. expected ROI? What cities will the bus tour be stopping in?

* Is Gary Hohman the only resource used for advertising and marketing? If so, with only 8,000-10,000 subs after so many years, why are we continuing to use him? What exactly is the relationship and how is it benefiting my ROI as an investor?

Also:

* What makes their expectation of breakeven by the end of 2006 more believable than their previous pronouncements of end-of-year breakeven?

Can you ask JF why he will not do an interview with Subpennyradio.com. Simon has called and left two messages with him over the last 3 months and JF has not returned his call nor his emails. I take that back, he did return one email, but it was a generic email that was very vague and never addressed the interview question. Subpennyradio.com would be great exposure for the company and would help JF's credibility and investors confidence.

My questions would be:

1) When will the "real" advertising start?
2) Will you team with CC on a TV commercial?
3) Will you update the shares information monthly, instead of when the CFO gets around to it?
4) Will subscription cards be in AAFES before the holiday season starts?
5) Will you advertise in the AAFES sales flyer?
6) As subs increase, can we expect a restructuring of the outstanding shares?
7) Can we get a real answer regarding how the British TV station investment fits into GZFX's business model of renting DVDs?

As I think of more, I'll fire them out. I did email the company with some of these questions already, but no one got back with me.

Thanks,
Fletch

Thank you Mar-Key.
I guess after they finally have the Infrastructure complete, the results will speak for themselves. No more excuses from HQ.

Been away all day and just read your post and thanks for your efforts. If the company is good to go financially for the foreseeable future, why not put a cap on the A/S as many have recommended? Until we get an answer to that the pps will not improve enough to keep the village people happy and any increase will eventually find its way back to where we are at today.

Mar-Key...Why is it "fair" that bullet points from a conversation with a CEO of a public company should not be posted publicly. He should have told you anything he wouldn't tell anybody else, and I am certain he doesn't want to talk to "everybody else". Full disclosure and all that.
