big week ahead, page-18

H, your point that the revenue model to support listing in 4Q 08 should be available, as this was always the intention, is well made.

Given also that there has been much progress on several fronts, the model should therefore be more robust. If we are delayed into 09, as seems to be the growing consensus, one would hope that shareholders are provided with as much useful information as management deem necessary, and possible at this stage of proceedings. Given the performance to date, I'm not holding my breath. I am continually astonished at the outstanding job they have done in keeping TZL a virtually watertight ship. Were in not for the delvings of some of the crew here on HC, we would be adrift in a sea of ignorance. (With apologies for the lame metaphors.)

To put a positive spin on the wall of silence, the very fact of it could also indicate that the progress being made exceeds expectations, and they are simply keeping their powder dry in order to maximise the impact when NASDAQ does eventually happen. Perhaps a bit of the old carrot and stick?
