Ann: Half Year Accounts , page-4

Susie07,

I'm suprised that a person in Dennis' position in the company actually took the time to response to such basic questions. Your intent is valid, but the questions could have been asked a lot more professional manner.

I'm not sure whether to interpret Dennis' answer as a good or bad thing.
Good -
1. the fact that he cares enough to respond to all levels of shareholders, and not palm off to a investor relations person with a standard 'company line' response which says nothing.
2. I knew that the board were heavily invested, but he explained the circumstances well enough to provide confidence to shareholders that this thing will be worthwhile in the end

Bad -
1. Does he not have anything better to do which adds value to company rather than responding to very basic questions from minority shareholders?
2. Is he trying to talk up a story about the company because he's worried that they won't deliver on their potential?

We'll know in 4-6 weeks I suppose!
