Good Morning Hokie and all
I have put together some information on the new owner Parrish Benchmark.
Also note I have added some important information to the IBOX here.
Please feel free to add more as you dig.

One really important note I have not seen discussed here yet is the fact that this is a OTCBB stock shell they are going into right now.
They only lack a few 10q reports to bring this back trading on the OTCBB market as all is filed on the SEC line.

Now with that said one other point is the fact in the 8k that they filed they have set a time frame of this month to get this deal done by the 30th.
I do not have to tell you now how fast this will move on that deal time frame.
Feel free to add more to the research on Parrish and his investment companies as he seems to be involved in two.
Management coming in is what sets the tone for the new company. and with Parrish very involved in the Research triangle of Durham NC this is also very important facts to know.
Great management makes for great opportunities ahead.
Please read the information below as you decide to buy or add more here.
Keep a close eye on the SEC filings also at the link below.

Hello SPXA Investors

I am just updating the team on important dates from the 8k on the 5th you need to be aware of.
This has dates set here for the end of this month and should move very fast.
With these dates I expect to see more filings this next week and much more information.

Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Company with the assistance of Ketchmark will undertake a private offering of its securities in order to raise approximately $50,000 (the "Private Offering") as soon as possible and prior to March 30, 2012 for the purpose of financing the Company's participation in the Transaction, providing working capital for the Company's operating costs and extinguishing certain of its liabilities. The Escrow Agent has agreed to assist the parties in receiving and disbursing documents, instruments, funds and other materials in connection with the Transaction.

Trading is holding up excellent now at the .02 and ready for the next levels.
Now with this being finalized by the end of March I do not need to tell you how fast this will move on the next filings and news releases.
Below I have detailed many new links to Parrish Ketchmark who is the new owner.
In these links I will detail the strength of this reverse merger and the new management coming in now.
As I have stated in the past clean shells with successful new management are the keys to Reverse mergers you will always love to be in.
Please add any new information to the board or even to the Wave website above.
The float here is in the range of the SLMU reverse merger we announced that ran from a penny to .27 and is just as explosive here with such a great clean OTCBB shell.
Yes with the right filings now this is an OTCBB stock ready to fly.

Below are many links to the business's owned by Parrish and Please take a look at these. Future business seems to be in social media now.
This is being released on the Wave Website and the Wave email from IHUB first and any price below the .03 should be great for a dime plus this month.

Triangle Tech Talk
The Rise of the “Gentlemen VC”
http://triangletechtalk.com/1/2011/11/the-rise-of-the-gentlemen-vc/
Parrish Ketchmark November 21, 2011 10:32 am
A few weeks ago, a number of us attended the SE ACA annual meeting in Charlotte. About 20 angel groups were represented, with over 80 investors in attendance from throughout the SE. It’s important to point out that the Triangle region was very well represented, with about 20 investor attendees!
To a certain extent, I do agree the lines between angel and the small VC are becoming blurred, however this is even more so in vibrant entrepreneurial communities with robust capital formation, such as NYC, Boston, and Silicon Valley. Personally, I believe this is a natural evolution, particularly as angel investors become more experienced in the science of seed and early stage investing (and even this will suffer its peaks and valleys, just like any other cycle).
One of the panel moderators at SE ACA posed a question to the audience: “How many of you have been doing this since 2005?? Many, but not all, investor hand’s were raised. By the time the moderator got to 1995, maybe a half dozen hand’s were raised. Moral of this little exercise is that as an angel community, we don’t have deep experience. One could argue that this could be one of the many reasons for meager angel returns in the SE.
Which leads to the point I seek to make. “Blurring of the lines” could become a very positive thing for seed and early stage capital formation. Syndication, although not a new concept, is becoming more widely embraced between SE angel groups. This is a necessity, as the number of VC firms have declined, the Valley of Death being very real, and most SE angel funds and groups individually don’t have the financial bandwidth to carry most deals to exit, much less sufficient critical mass to attract the VC community. Furthermore, established VC firms seek to do deals with angel groups they respect and know (which is directly correlated to quality deals).
However, it’s not just about the money, it’s about risk mitigation in all its forms. Considering these factors, many experienced angel investors are not simply going to invest like our predecessors of the past. We’re going to do our homework and be very discerning about where we’ll invest. Many of us are inclined to deploy capital in companies where we can leverage our experiences and relationships for the benefit of the portfolio company. And we’ll seek allies with other investors that we know personally, bringing more money, expertise, and additional relationships, all to the benefit of the start-up.
This approach truly does “blur the lines.” I would also argue, particularly with seed stage, angels really can add meaning, make a difference, and at least position themselves for more logical “shots on goal”. And ultimately, the Venture community should see better qualified investment opportunities as a result.
