I would contact them at EOD tomorrow to confirm the date you will be arriving. Do not ask them when it is OK for you to come... you tell them the date and time and that they should have the documents in the letter available to you for inspection.
If they try and tell you that they do not have the documents available.. call them on their bluff! You have the right to see the audit, and they have announced per the IR page on their website that the audit is completed!

Two trains of thought: 1) Personally, who in their right mind would really release any financial info knowing they are being sued. Which would make sense why the audit is delayed. Seeing Frank owns magority votes, it may make sense. 2) Since Frank is contantly being sued, he should be accustom to it. So why not proceed as he normally would and let the chips fall where they may and settle things out. (Unless there is now a cash cow & potential for earnings to stave off any add'l suits)......just an opinion here.

low volume so far... most of it seems to be at .0003 with a few small sells at .0002. Just may be the sell off has slowed down. One can hope!

I think we found out what the dirty shell is. Like you guys are telling me you can't release financials, etc, when you are in a law suit which appears to ba a constant ongoing thing here. Judging from the ride that i've been on so far, I would have to guess that a lot of those plaintiffs have a legitimate beef. I'm willing to listen if Frank would want to prove different, but hes to busy in court, i mean running a network. When I was a kid I wanted to be Walter Winchell.

It does look like Frank should be used to getting sued, but I think this one is much bigger than any other. However, in the Firestone lawsuit, don't they list the amount they are suing for? It wouldn't seem like they could change that amount based on an audit showing the company is worth more. I guess it could sway a decision though.
My other thought...I'm thinking the audit may be out soon if imakmony visits the studio and gains access to it. I would think Frank would want to release it before then. It wouldn't look very good for the audit info to show up on the message boards from someone before the company PR'd it.
BTW, thanks for taking the lead and sending those letters. Good luck with the rest of it.

The imakmoney thing might take a while mr mill. No one has said it out loud , but I think a damper is being put on us pursuing the financials on our own. From within these boards. Frank goes around screaming, "billion dollar baby", and puts it in PRs, but I guess that doesn't make it official.

Ford ads back on Ford Motor Co. reversed a decision to stop advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover brands in gay publications. Gay groups inundated Ford with complaints after the No. 2 U.S. automaker announced it was pulling the ads. Ford said the move was merely part of an advertising pullback, but the announcement came after a conservative Christian group, the American Family Association, said it was suspending a boycott over Ford's support of gay causes. The AFA declined to comment on the latest news. (The Washington Post, free registration required)

Why doesn't somebody close to the station pose as a large investor and request to see financials, future plans, projections, goals. etc. If they are looking for money they would surely take the time at least to give a little insight. I'm not sure how you would post the info without getting into serious trouble though. Just a thought.

On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") was enacted.23 Section 302 of the Act required the Commission to adopt final rules to be effective by August 29, 2002 under which the principal executive officer or officers and the principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, of a company filing periodic reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") 24 must certify in each quarterly and annual report, among other things, that, based on his or her knowledge:
the report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading; and
the financial statements, and other financial information included in the report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in the report.25 On August 28, 2002, we adopted Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 and Investment Company Act Rule 30a-2 and amended our periodic report forms to implement this statutory directive.26 These rules and amendments became effective on August 29, 2002. On January 27, 2003, we adopted Form N-CSR to be used by registered management investment companies to file certified shareholder reports with the Commission.27
Section 906 of the Act added new Section 1350 to Title 18 of the United States Code,28 which contains federal criminal provisions. Section 906 contains a certification requirement that is separate and distinct from the certification requirement mandated by Section 302.29 Section 906 provides that each periodic report containing financial statements filed by an issuer30 with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act must be accompanied by a written statement by the issuer's chief executive officer and chief financial officer (or the equivalent thereof) certifying that:
the report fully complies with the requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and
the information contained in the report fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the issuer.
Section 906 expressly creates new criminal penalties for a knowingly or willfully false certification.31 This provision became effective on July 30, 2002. As discussed below, we propose to require the inclusion of the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Act as exhibits to the periodic reports to which they relate.

Maybe that is the problem. He is afraid to certify because he thinks he may definately head to the slammer after that.

Myself, Carol and I'm sure anyone else you've spoken with understand your concerns, but you must understand that shareholders cannot be immediately accommodated. Management is working diligently on creating this network and when negative information is posted about the CEO or anyone else, all other issues cannot be dropped and focus solely on the shareholders concerns.
Through our many email conversations I would hope you understand that we want this company to be as transparent as possible and we are working very hard to get information to the shareholders, but this may take some time.
Again, when we have something from management to issue, we will not hesitate.

A company can carry on and progress while the former CEO is doing time, can't they? Just curious. In case.

I just spoke with a company officer on the phone, he's very high up. He owns shares in the company and he reports directly to Frank.
He came to work at Q because of Frank's vision and personal drive. But he says it is commonly acknowledged throughout the company that shareholders are unhappy and that Frank has to do some things differently. (He would not get into specifics.) He said people there recognize that Frank has strengths and he has weaknesses. Those weaknesses could effect the company, Frank is aware of them, and he is trying to address them. The share price free-fall is commonly known and felt. Lots of folks bought shares with their own money. Officers aren't given shares (except apparently Frank and Rene.)
I warned this person that shareholders are reaching the point of calling their carrier companies to warn them about Q's business practices. Needless to say, this got his attention. He said he was very aware of shareholder anger and he understood it, and he didn't want anyone to feel they needed to hurt the company to get changes made. This person has network experience and says that Q is growing faster than any channel ever has, and that it is already clearly going to be a great success. But he acknowledged that Frank, like all CEO's has weaknesses that can affect it, particularly in communication. I could tell he was implying 'honesty' as well; I sensed frustration. When I asked him what he thought about Frank's credibility, he was diplomatic and replied that Frank has always been honest with him, but that he can't vouch for anything or anyone else.
We talked for about twenty minutes. He told me a lot about the carrier industry and just why it was so hard to get a network running. He really wanted to put in perspective for me the success that Q has had to date with gaining carriage. I told him that this is one area of the company (the other being programming) where shareholders are quite impressed. I asked him what he though the value of our film library really was and he replied that he couldn't really say but anyway that the library is not the primary programming: what 'makes' the channel is the live stuff. Hmm.
I ended our conversation by asking him to convey our shareholder concerns to Frank, particularly about the audit, and he reminded me this isn't his area of expertise but that he was a shareholder too and that when he spoke to Frank (likely tonite) that he would tell him about our conversation and my concerns. He reassured me that Frank is hearing all the time about shareholders' frustration.

Jenny Shimizu, model/actress and former lover of Angelina Jolie, made international headlines this week when British newspaper the Sun published an interview containing some very explosive quotes.
Among other things, the article insinuated that Shimizu and Jolie were hardly exes. "There has never been an ending to her and I," said Shimizu, according to the Sun. "I think there never will be. I think we will continue to have a deep relationship. It really does go beyond just the sex."
Later, the Sun quoted Shimizu as saying, "Whenever [Angelina] calls me up, I visit her. It's not always the case that we have sex. Sometimes we go to her property in Cambodia and explore the jungle."
The piece was picked up on gossip sites all over the Internet -- in some cases, the quotes became more exaggerated. As rumors went flying, the affable Shimizu had had enough, so she took to the airwaves of Q Television Network to set the record straight.
