***REPOST: My meeting with Anthony Miller (CEO)...
I went down to the office around 9:30 this morning (California time). As I pulled up to the Colton office I saw the same car that was there the first time. The man I originally said was talking on the cell phone was in fact, Anthony Miller, CEO of USCI.
I walked into the office (yes it was open), and he welcomed me. I let him know who I was and that I was there because I had some questions, and that I was concerned that the phone was not being answered. He gave a little laugh and said the calls were in the process of being returned. I'll say this, to say that he's being flooded with calls is a BIG UNDERSTATEMENT! We talked for about 20 - 30 minutes, and within that time the phone was definitely ringing. To further prove to me that he is being bombarded, we flipped through his steno pad on the desk with pages AND PAGES of names and numbers... area codes from all over the place. Some names were crossed out, some had stars, etc... he said they were all from messages he has received. Also, he played for me his answering machine... from the time he got back in town last evening, he's had 59 messages there, so its not gonna be an easy task getting to each one. They are being returned though, so be patient if you left him something.
Anyways, I told him about the current price and whats been going on with it since this last Friday. He's aware of the situation, but clarified that he doesn't make the stock price, and he would like to see it go up just like the rest of us. The company did sell shares to help with financing and pay off some obligations. I asked him if he had any idea what the current O/S was... he said that last he heard, and this was only a ballpark figure, was something like 650 million. He then said that based on the current trading, it would appear that it is higher than that, but wouldn't make a guess. Apparently the company that helped to finance USCI was given shares to sell back to the public... but that is over now. That could be why we're back to .001... perhaps its true price.
I then asked what direction he's taking the company and if there is anything new to be reported. This is where he did a majority of the talking... I'll keep it brief. Ok...
...the company that had purchased 2 machines is in the process of purchasing a 3rd. That company used to do something like 3,000 in revenue, but now they're doing 30,000 because of USCI's products. Nothing has been finalized, but the impression I got from him seemed that it was a done deal. That is the company's goal... SALES. He emphasized this more than anything.
He said the web site will be redesigned in the next few weeks, with a more sales-oriented approach. He's in the process of working on that.
I asked him why he's keeping investors in the dark about the current happenings of the company. He said its not intentional, the number of calls, along with other events has prevented him from releasing anything. He said he could have released "BS Pr's", but he's aware what this could do... people would see right through them. He reads the message boards and is aware about what people say about him... but thats not gonna break him to the point where he starts releasing "fluff".
He has a part-time IR person, but the majority of stuff he says he is doing on his own... feels obligated to return/receive calls personally.
Back to what else we talked about...
...this guy is KNOWLEDGEABLE about his field. I swear it felt like I was in school. I sat at his desk while he proceeded to tear up this dry erase market board with diagrams, figures, stats, etc... about the oil industry. I feel confident he knows what he's doing.
He also let me know about a new machine that is being developed... he says its about 90% complete and gave me a brief overview of it. Apparently its made up of like three tubes that get fed into some other contraption... that gets drilled to the ground (3,000 feet or so), and creates thermal heat from within the device... something like that. Stuff was going over my head, but thats 'cuz he knew a lot... it felt like I was trying to learn a new subject.
Oh yeah, this part is good.... about that marketing place in Arizona that handles their business... he said a woman has taken over marketing their product, and has already presented him with figures on expected sales. He said he was blown away by what she gave him... if she can only do 1/10 of what she is counting on he'll be AMAZED! She is already in talks with clients here in the US and other countries.
For most of the week, Mr.Miller was in New York on business, thats the reason for being out of office. He just got in last night and looked jet lagged. We went out to his car to get his bag and he gave me 2 brochures that he used to present his company. He also showed cost analysis, and some other technical stuff about their units. He only let me keep the brochures though (I posted pics of them on my site: members. aol. com/efx15)
Also what impressed me... he went into another office and came back with 2 photo albums with pictures of oil fields that belong to US Crude! At first I thought they belonged to potential clients, but he said they were theirs. Nice!
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff... because I really was impressed with everything he was saying. Umm... an easy guy to talk to, knowledgeable, and appears that he knows what he's doing. He emphasized SALES though the most. He said that the current business plan on uptick. com will also be altered to focus more on sales.
Speaking of uptick. com, I asked him why he posted on there... he said he doing that on that site, and others, to make investors more aware about the company, and because he put things on those sites that he can't on the company web site. He mentioned other sites that currently have, or will, spotlight USCI, but I wasn't taking notes, sorry.
We finished by talking more candidly about stocks and companies similar to his... I think this company has a very promising future. Short term, big stuff seems to be coming at least. Also, he said that a lot of calls he gets are simply people hanging up, so refrain from checking the number people... it works! Hahaha, I was there hearing the calls as they came in (the 909 #). I didn't take notes or record anything because I didn't want to see pushy, this is all off the top of my head as I sit here. If I think of other stuff I'll fill you guys in.
once again, here is the web site with my pics:
members. aol. com/efx15.. just get rid of the spaces.
Ok, final thoughts. This company is not a scam. Based on the conversation, and peeking around the office... its the real deal. Let the bashers talk SHlT, let them waste their time. Let them scare people into selling. Not a big deal
*flipping_a_coin (there! I even signed it!)
Ok, I'll take questions now
Oh yeah, if you wanna know how I met him... the company is based here in So.Cal, about 20 minutes from my home...
