JR, has everyone forgotten that this spin-off has been in the works for a long, long, long time (relative to a flipper's attention span) and that it was part of a deal with a "European Investors Group?"
It seems to me that the company is doing what it said it would do; although it is terrible about releasing unrealistic dates. These reverse mergers with new funding always take longer than initially anticipated - stuff always happens to push out the dates. The reverse mereger is suppose to close on or before 03/30/2010, but I won't be at all supprised if the closing slipped into April or even May, June. The parties can always extend the closing deadline by mutual agreement.
I haven't heard anything lately about the "significant funding" to be injected into Hydra before the special dividend to ARSC shareholders, but the "plan" appears to be proceeding, and it wouldn't make sense (and the company wouldn't have the cash) for Hydra to do a reverse merger into iVoice unless significant cash was lined up .... the following is what I think is important about this pinkie:

"Plan of Operations "Our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary completed several development stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We believe that the HydraStax® unit's cost per kWh will be significantly below that of its competitors, giving it a competitive edge as a replacement for residential grid power. Thus, upon certification, Hydra intends to aggressively market these units. The Company is actively pursuing financing to begin manufacturing and distribution. Hydra installed two of its HydraStax® fuel cells in residences, one in Texas in October 2007 and one in Florida in December 2007, as “Beta Test demonstration units” . These were milestones for Hydra and for the fuel cell industry. Hydra is now ready to move the Fuel Cell Product into production and has been seeking funding to begin production. Recently, an existing funder, St George has committed to provide funding to allow production to begin.
"In June 2010, ARSC accepted a proposal from a European Investors groupto fund and spin-off Hydra Fuel Cell to ARSC shareholders. ARSC is currently negoiating this transaction with the investors. This will require a proxy for ARSC shareholders when the transaction is complete. This is anticipated in late summer or fall 2010.
"American Hydrogen Corporation (AHC) was formed to develop and commercialize technologies to formulate hydrogen that we believe will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy.

This is all in my opinion, but is why I'm still holding tight to my 55 million shares of ARSC.
This is about the same information I got when I talked to them. For me, it looks good, after the spin-off it will look even better and then we still will have our shares in ARSC and ARSC can be used for another deal. Best would be a buyer who is interested in the carried forward losses since inception. Can be used as tax-writte-offs.
