The issue I'm most concerned with is that you seem to think this is all OK.

This is not just a matter of market timing. It is a matter of market manipulation through fraud, deceptive business practices, and collusive activity.

You start by saying many made money and many lost. I disagree. The few who made gads of money did so knowing that they were perpetrating a scheme on an unsuspecting public, the majority of whom lost money.

Further, the management of any corporation is charged with a duty to work for the best interests of those who own it, ie. the shareholders. With that comes a fiduciary responsibility to be honest and work in our best interests not against us.

Tell me, how were we benefitted by their actions, if the allegations are true?

If some one you knew was run over by a reckless driver, maybe they shouldn't have been in the street, but shouldn't the driver be brought to justice? How would you feel if you knew the driver had been aiming for them, trying to run the people over?

This puts the issue in a different light, as I see it.


Bob

PS This will be my last response.

Best post I have read ANYWHERE in a long time. Great analogy with the reckless driver. I agree 100%! When the officers of a company accept those positions, they are agreeing to work in the best interest of the shareholders. If they disregard their fiduciary responsibility to those who pay their salaries, that would be negligent and cause for termination. If they conspire to defraud the shareholders, that is another matter entirely. In that case, their activity is not just negligent... it's unlawful. Further, it assuredly violates the terms of their employment (standard contract) and may constitute legal cause for forfeiture of salary and bonuses retroactively in addition to other monetary penalties. Cases like this often end up in criminal court... not just civil court. This, of course, assumes the allegations are true. These individuals are innocent until proven guilty, just like the rest of us.

Um... so I've been holding WNMI since .018. The huge drop I thought was for the most part due to the dulition of shares. What in the world is all this lawsuit stuff? I believed in the long term potentail of the compnay for a while now. Even is they did dilute the share count, my opnion was that in 6 months to a year it wouldn't really matter. I've lost quite a bit of money on this one. However, are we all giving up on it?

What say you guys?

Thanks in advance...

Personally, I was in for a while. Then, I got out after I lost a little bit of money, but it could have been alot worse.

My guess is things are going to drift until we see 1) the next 10Q, 2) more info on this lastest development, or 3) a large buyer or seller moves in for whatever reason and moves the price one way or the other.

The price of the stock is about the same place it was 4 months ago, but now we have added dilution, a potential stock scandal, and the addition of Paris Hilton. (The way I count that, it's 2 negatives and 1 positive.)

I see this stock as looking for a direction to go, and when it goes, it may move big. But that could be up or down.

As for me, I watch this stock constantly, but I'm not going to make any moves until I see something that catches my attention.

Well at this point I am down so much $ in this one... I may as well hold. I'm down about $3000. And Selling at this point would be futile. So I may as see what happens after the vote. Personally I voted against the share increase of course.

Anyone else in a wait and see position like me? Or was everyone smart enough to get out lol...

IMO, with all the new contracts they have signed in 2004 (Paris Hilton, Malia Jones, photography managment, Dennis Rodman, the show on TLC, etc.) we should have a good 10Q soon. I know we have the law suit, and the dilution vote playing against this company, but i really think a good quarter result should push this up north...
If the MMs could leave us alone!!!

I own almost 350k stocks at an average pps of 1.2 cents..

Is anyone still playing this? This is now below the Paris Hilton signing price. A piece of Paris for .002 is almost too much to resist!

Six- Months Ended June 30, 2004

Net change in cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004 was $(712,291), which mainly consisted of the net loss of $1,914,323 plus the following: 1) gain on forgiveness of debt of $41,780,
2)decrease in prepaid expenses of $31,372, 3) decrease in employee advances of $4,750, 4) decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $27,903, decrease in model reserves of $5,469 offset by 1)an increase in depreciation and amortization of $7,153, 2)an increase in common stock issued for services of $30,000, 3)an increase of expense on warrants granted of $691,875, 4) in increase in bond and warrant discount amortization of $260,647, 5) an increase in accounts receivable trade of $93,469, 6) an increase in advances to models of $78,652, 7)an increase in accrued interest of $118,549 and 8) miscellaneous items amounting to $32,960.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was ($638) and ($2,304) for the six month period ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This change is due to a decrease in purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,187,005 and $(170,242) for the six month period
ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflecting a change of $1,357,247. This increase was due to the following: 1) the issuance of convertible notes of $810,000, 2) proceeds from the secured line of credit of $312,953, 3) exercise of warrants of $575,625, 4) borrowings under a bank line of credit of $138,221,

WNMI's revenues have been insufficient to cover operating expenses. Therefore, WNMI has been dependent on private placements of its common stock and issuance of convertible notes in order to sustain operations. In addition, there can be no assurances that the proceeds from private or other capital will continue to be available, or that revenues will increase to meet WNMI's cash needs, or that a sufficient amount of WNMI's common stock or other securities can or will be sold or that any common stock purchase options/warrants will be exercised to fund the operating needs of WNMI.

Over the next twelve months an addition of $300,000 will be needed to sustain the business. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from operations and external financing to meet WNMI's liabilities and commitments as they become payable. WNMI has in the past relied on private placements of common stock securities, and loans from private investors to sustain operations. However, if WNMI is unable to obtain additional funding in the future, it may be forced to curtail or terminate operations.

Going-Concern Issues Arising from Recurring Losses and Cash Flow Problems

As shown in the accompanying Financial Statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses
from operations, and as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by $1,340,319, and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $4,334,245. Management has been able obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt. In addition, the Company has instituted more efficient management techniques and continues to attract and add new Models, talent and adding the new line photographers Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying Financial Statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern. In May 2004, the Company raised $810,000 in cash through the issuance of
convertible notes payable.

Funding Event

On April 23, 2004, WNMI entered into a Subscription Agreement for $810,000, one year convertible debentures; 500,000 to Alpha Capital Aktiengesellschaft, $100,000 to Longview Fund, LP, $100,000 to Ellis International Ltd., and $110,000 to Steve "Sagi" Adirim. There is a 30% premium of $243,000 in the aggregate on these notes. Additionally, in conjunction with these convertible debentures, WNMI issued warrants to purchase WNMI common stock to Alpha Capital Aktiengesellschaft (50,000,000 shares), Longview Fund, LP, (10,000,000 shares), Ellis International, Ltd., (10,000,000 shares), Steve "Sagi" Adirim (11,000,000) and Bi-Coastal Consulting Corporation (10,797,300 shares). The transaction closed on April 23, 2004. The conversion price per share of the above debentures is equal to $.0075. Should the company choose to make the monthly payment in stock in lieu of cash, such common stock will be valued at the lesser of (i) the average closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the 10 day lookback Period immediately preceding the relevant payment due date, or (ii) $.0075 per share. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.025 and they mature in 5 years.

when their last Q came out, it was so laughably bad that i couldn't imagine they could do much worse. i was wrong - this last one is downright pathetic. the capper is that they blame it all on "poor economic conditions" and - in the midst of all the red ink and massive mismanagement - they had the audacity to give their worthless management a $100k bonus!! maybe the captain of the titanic also deserved a bonus for making good time across the atlantic.

Great Post!!!! Like the Titanic comment so much and you are so right about the Q. I couln't believe they could make that little bit of income with the clients they have. This is unbelievable. I had sold the rest of the shares I had at a loss a long time ago (as the price was slipping down more and more) except for 1000 shares to keep an eye on and see if this company ever does anything. It doesn't look likely. They had a chance with the funds they raised and they didn't get the job done. IMO -Debi

ha hahaha, what the heck is WNMI doing?! acquiring a company that deals with -

"municipal management consulting, civil engineering, land surveying, public finance, building safety, asset management, and program and construction management to public agencies." ?!?!?!

they just released yet another train-wreck Q, and they are flat broke. so - let's go out and acquire a company where we know nothing about the business. i could almost sort of see the argument for trying to expand in modeling, but - building safety? asset management? gee, like if i'm a business owner who puts up a building, i'm really going to think "you know, i should have that cheesy paris hilton company inspect my building for safety. and then i should have them manage my assets, because they've done such a good job managing their own finances". yeah right. the only thing this company is any good for is - a laugh, and losing money. aside from earning $ for their management - big bonuses for "a job well done". what a joke, this company is simply pitiful. focus on fixing the incredibly broken core business, not on wasting money you don't have on something out in left field.

Paris Hilton Launches New Jewelry Line Exclusively on Amazon.com

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 1, 2004--

  Hilton's First Commercial Product Line is Featured in an Online Boutique that Includes the Entire 10-Piece Collection and Exclusive Content  

Amazon.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMZN) today announced the launch of the Paris Hilton Collection, a line of jewelry designed by Paris Hilton and available exclusively at the Amazon.com Jewelry Store. Amazon has created a special Paris Hilton Boutique, www.amazon.com/parishilton, where customers can see photographs of Hilton wearing the designs and detailed product images and descriptions.

"I grew up surrounded by the finest fashion and jewelry designs, and I really wanted to create a line that was beautiful and very high quality, yet affordable and available to everyone," said Paris Hilton. "Amazon.com is the perfect place to launch the line because customers everywhere can shop for it -- whether they live in LA or New York or a very small town. This jewelry is for the heiress in everyone."

The 10-piece collection includes necklaces, earrings, a charm bracelet, an ankle bracelet, a belly chain and a belly bar. Priced from $15 to $95, the designs are crafted from the highest quality sterling silver and set with Swarovski crystals. The line is inspired by Hilton's personal style -- feminine, flirtatious and glamorous -- with heart, star and cross motifs.

"The Paris Hilton Collection is a wonderful addition to the Amazon.com Jewelry Store," said Eric Broussard, Amazon.com's vice president of Jewelry & Watches. "The boutique on Amazon.com offers a blend of entertainment and shopping that customers can't find elsewhere, including beautiful images of Paris wearing the jewelry that could be from the pages of a fashion magazine, as well as a personal video message from Paris."

Renowned fashion photographer and artist Marc Baptiste created the images of Hilton wearing the designs that are now featured in the Amazon.com boutique. Behind-the-scenes video footage of the photo shoot is available for viewing in the boutique, as well as footage of Hilton working in the design studio. Hilton also recorded a personal video message to Amazon.com shoppers who visit the boutique.

Every piece from the Paris Hilton Collection is delivered to customers in Amazon.com's signature midnight-blue velvet jewelry pouches, and includes a keepsake card with a note from Paris Hilton featuring her signature tiara logo. While shopping the Paris Hilton Boutique, customers can also purchase "The Simple Life" DVD and pre-order "Confessions of an Heiress," Hilton's new book slated for release this September. To visit the Paris Hilton boutique at Amazon.com, go to www.amazon.com/parishilton.

On the launch day of her new line in Amazon.com's Jewelry Store, Hilton spoke to reporters from Miami, where she is shooting her latest movie, "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" Her other projects include a prominent role in "House of Wax," a movie from Joel Silver, producer of "The Matrix", and a debut CD slated for release this fall.

so, the answer is yes, i am still holding this one (whiz asked me in the Q forum)...

for some unknown reason i never sold it. suppose i have some hope for it's future- it's not like the agency is going to go out of business- so it's just money that sits there. less money than it was for sure, but like i said the company ain't closing.

side note on that-
i asked a few of my friends who are pictured on the Warning website as models they represent. Ok, maybe it's just the selection of models I asked, but there was a general consensus...
none of the girls i asked is really working through them. in other words, they are "with" them, but not getting work. In warning's defense, there isn't a lot of work to be had in LA and they can't book NY work cuz most of their models already have NY agencies.

and what disturbed me more is that a couple of the girls said they were told they couldn't work til they lost weight. these are size 4/6 healthy girls. so i guess warning is going for that ultra-thin feed-me editorial look...

Thanks for the input BB, as always. It's never seemed to me that modeling revenues are what's promising about this company. I'm an investor because of the potential product licensing deals, which to my mind are what can take the company to the next level. The Malia products are a good start and product testing is supposed to be finished by the end of the year, hopefully for a roll-out in early 2005. I'm hoping to see a lot more of those kind sof deals now that the company is on more solid financial footing with the acquisition. Time will tell.

LOS ANGELES, Sep 29, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Warning Management Services, Inc. (WNMI) announces today that it has added the prominent children's photographer Kymberly Marciano to its Warning Photo's roster.

Following a successful ten-year career as a fashion model and drawing from a diverse and worldly childhood in both the United Stated and Europe, Kymberly Marciano has found her true passion in photography.

A mother of two, her affection for children and motherhood translates into her photography as well as her clients' needs. Her incredible taste and vision is constantly growing, yet never compromising her artistic integrity.

Over the past two years she has lent her talent to such prestigious advertising campaigns as 2005 Ralph Lauren campaign shot in Nantucket and the Guess kid's campaign for the past 2 years. Her editorials have appeared in the Avant Garde: "Kidswear and Vogue Bambini."

Warning Photo currently represents Marc Baptiste, Brian Bowen Smith, Randall Slavin and Olaf Heine.

"With more talented photographers joining our team, we are anticipating great things," says Brian Bonar. "Warning Photo roster is becoming a force to be reckoned with," Bonar added.

man, talk about being in the doghouse - even PRs (once the lifeblood of wnmi's long-ago run) just cause this thing to dump even more. if i'm not mistaken, the market cap should be roughly a little over $1M about now? almost looks oversold, but - eh, i just don't trust this company farther than i could throw it, i'm steering clear. when i saw the big bonus bonar gave himself, i was so disgusted that i took them off my watchlist permanently. they will likely have more revenue in future Q's with the acquisition, but how much you wanna bet that their losses increase right along with their revenue? that's my bet, at least

The last of the CD holders are converting right now, that's why the low PPS. That's a good thing in my book. Until the conversions are finished, I don't expect a significant rise.

Well, I hope I don't kick myself later, but I think it's about time to get back in-especially at these prices. I got 1 mil. @ .0012.
