Hi Heppie- I am in agreement with you all the way. I don't think anyone was happy with that 10K. Personally I wasn't expecting any real groundbreaking good news from it. I do admit it was worse than I expected and can't see why anyone would be "happy" with it other than it was filed and accepted by the SEC. Yes they have some problems to deal with. On top of the problems now comes very unhappy shareholders to deal with. But, when you go public and take public monies you had better learn to deal with shareholders. It's part of the deal.

The 2 things that are almost always the cause of business failures are undercapitalization and mismanagement. I'd like to make this a post to reassure everyone that everything will be OK, the company is doing just fine and it's all good. I can't do that. No one can say for sure. Welcome to pennystock world.

In my opinion, I think they will get over this big bump in the road. It will take time. I'm still looking at the big picture of a changing funeral industry and this company on the leading edge of it. For now I'm willing to wait it out. Each individual investor has to chose for him or her self what they will do. Everyone's circumstances are different. What might change my mind? - Another reverse split. It would be the death of any kind of investor confidence left.

Right now I'm waiting for the 10Q. Haven't sold any shares on the releae of the K and won't as long as the Q's are improving with each quarter and no reverse splits.

Disappointed but not down and out yet-

Good Saturday morning Heppie,

I know that a conference call is not a cure all but merely a step in opening lines of communication between the company and shareholders. At this time there are many unhappy shareholders that are dissapointed and feel that they are out of touch with the company and management and a conference call would be one way for their questions to be answered.

Right now I am pissed that the 10Q was not filed at the same time as the 10K. The 10Q does not even have to be audited so I see no reason that it was not completed at the same time. It better be filed this coming week if they don't want to be confronted by many angry and dissapointed shareholders.

If they are really interested in keeping the shareholders happy they will do something about the share structure. I would suggest that they retire some of the corporate shares that the officers are holding in excessive numbers. If they still had worries about a takeover attempt they could just boost the number of votes per each preffered share that they hold.

Have a great weekend Hep!
BTW: How are you doing healthwise? Take care of yourself and be well!

I had just written a nice long post, to Clint, outlining what we are so angry about, ways to help mend fences and such and reminding Clint that since he holds all the cards so close to himself, he is the focus when things go bad. I even ref big board stocks that people ran from but are willing to buy again, somewhat different than at this level where once peeps do not like the stock its over...

I have the new IE8 which is slow to switch tabs and I erased the whole thing however when I was trying to cut and paste something from another tab.......

Communication and involvement are the keys...I am just too apathetic to try and rewrite it in full so here are my points I want CLint to hear from me:

1) Open TA Monday if all it takes is a letter
2) Open it to Superbee383 (I think everyone trusts her) if you don't want everyone to call.
3) You warned last year about revenue shortfall, so trust us on other issues
4) we will protect our money, but if games are played we won't buy back in when bottom is touched...
5) NO MORE SHARES
6) You need to address shareholders and accept this mess as your fault and give something back, like a few shares...I am not asking for all of them as I still believe you need to have $9-10mil at .10 available...YOU HAVE YOUR OPTIONS available, so use those damned shares you have now for shareholders/company/stock benefit...Drop O/S to 575mil at least....

I had more, to include several shareholders willing to help the company various ways, but I am done rewriting this lengthy post...
