(maybe!)( depends on why it got there) without more substantive news it WILL get there, IMO!!!

Proposal to Authorize BDC Withdrawal Will be Considered by Stockholders
TEMECULA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2007--Franchise Capital Corporation (Other OTC: FCCN) has filed preliminary proxy material with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. The proposal to be considered by stockholders is an authorization for the Board of Directors to withdraw the company’s election to be treated as a business development company (BDC) pursuant to Section 54(c) under the Investment Company Act. A definitive proxy statement, which will confirm the meeting date, is expected to be filed within 10 days and subsequently sent to shareholders of record.
Franchise Capital recently executed a definitive agreement to acquire the issued and outstanding shares of Aero Exhaust, Inc., a world leader in performance exhaust airflow technology and NASCAR Performance partner. The Board of Directors believes that to consummate the acquisition of Aero Exhaust and in the interest of the company’s planned future operations, it is in the interest of Franchise Capital to withdraw its BDC election. Under former management, the company became aware that it might be out of compliance with the Investment Act of 1940, under which BDCs are regulated. These compliance issues were also taken into consideration by the Board in proposing the BDC withdrawal.
“Our intention in identifying Aero Exhaust as an acquisition and moving forward to secure a definitive agreement was that Franchise Capital would no longer be structured as an investment fund and that Aero’s operations would become the company’s major focus,” stated Steven R. Peacock, chief executive officer of Franchise Capital Corporation. “The proposal to withdraw the BDC election is a critical element in positioning Franchise Capital to be a suitable public vehicle for Aero Exhaust, and we are asking that shareholders approve this proposal.”
Included in the proxy material is a narrative description regarding the issuance of shares that are being held in an escrow account for the benefit of Golden Gate Investors, Inc. These shares were issued as settlement on past due convertible debentures and as part of an existing stock purchase agreement. While held in escrow, these shares are voted by the company’s Board of Directors.
“We look forward to setting a date for the annual meeting and gaining approval for the withdrawal of the BDC election,” added Mr. Peacock.

I always ask people to verify, because the whole point of calling is to clarify, not confuse. This is why I'll let the company take care of business and I'll keep the phone conversations to myself.

I, for one, appreciate your posting your interpretation of the phone calls, and I hope you will continue to do so. Ignore those that don't, FWIW....

You are right Cass... You didn't post anything bad...you posted what you were told...and most everyone asked you... I just don't want people coming back and saying Cassity said....blah blah blah...and try to blame you... everyone should make the decision to buy or sell based on their own DD...and if they go by ONLY what other posters say....that is their fault...

I would say it's game over here until the company puts out something that eases the confusion. I'm stuck with shares I bought at .036, which I guess isn't too bad as some are stuck in the 5's and 6's.
I feel the company is to blame for the pps decline. The information they provided was not explained well and confused pretty much everyone in this stock. Not putting out any kind of revenue guidance in the 8K or PR last week was a mistake.
I'm debating whether or not to take my loss and buy back in lower or just hold in case some better official explantion comes out.
Another thing to think about, FCCN/AERO might not care what the pps is right now. They both have a pretty good idea of what it will be after merge and financials are out on Aero. If they know they are going to be worth 3 - $4 a share would they care about a .04 price swing? Probably not.
Get the shell cleaned out, get the financials done and then merge and determine the pps.
Anyone remember SPEA? That one went from .10 to $8 in a day! Then went on to over $24.
Do you think the people behind that one who knew what was going to happen cared about the penny ticks up and down when they were putting that together?
Anyway, I don't think the company is going to clarify this anymore. You've all been given info, buy shares, sit back, see what happens - or move on to another play.

Did that really go from .10 to 8.00 in a day?

Thank you Etrade!

The way that I am looking at it is that if they doing this "dilution"...IF they are...it would be better to do it now...in the lower PPS (At least better for the shareholders not the Company) than to do it AFTER the PPS really starts to climb... IMO it seems as long as the company is upfront and getting everything filed and out in the open...keeping the trust of shareholders...then when the actual merger is complete...and the dilution is done...all can move forward...and climb with some good gains...IMO and FWIW
BTW MR CAT? you need to get an additional broker if you are going to attempt to keep trading the pennies...it's always a good idea to have 2...IMO

Great, one is a total pain in the arse so two MUST be better. I think it would only result in me making more rude phone calls to more brokers more often. I mean, i guess its like having 2 girlfriends. I totally see the advantages but would they really outweigh the "other things"?
Disclaimer : "other things" basically pertains to any of the potentially devastating things that can happen at any given moment for any given reason.

FWIW, i follow what you are sayin 10...its just kinda late and im tired and goofy
