Here are my reasons:

1) SLR traffic and webstats when compared to the likes of well known SL web publications (like SLNN, SL Newspaper - just to name two) in the last few months has had more page visits (according to Compete.com) and other web stats.

2) Traffic and readship will continue to rise due to the talents of Nicolo and Alessandra.

3) Our presence is across all the main Stock Exchanges across the SL grid.

4) SLR has a deal with HI-FIve to advertise our website on all their TV's grid wide in exchange for advertising on SLR - this will increase readership and therefore be more appealing to those who wish to advertise on SLR.

5) I have not turned my back on SLR, nor have I stopped working. I have put SLR into a unique position that it has not been in the past. SLR now is a resource that will concentrate on keeping SL up to date (unbiased) with all the happening of the SL Financial Sector - which can be read by newbies, new investor to large investors alike.

Last but not least, dont take my word for it, go and do some research yourself - check the webstats, check the price history. Draw your own conclusion, but I say that the price which has just dropped below IPO level is a steal.

Please feel free to comment, your responses will not fall on deaf ears.

Thank you so much for your time and courtesy Cash.

I have reviewed the prospectus that Nicolo has sent to me and I am afraid that I am going to have to pass on the deal as of this time. Nicolo is learning this in unison with you, as I am sending a copy of this email to both his real life and Second Life email accounts. I know that he has put a considerable amount of time into this acquisition, and it may come as quite a blow to his spirits for me to turn it down.

The reasons are as follows:
* With there being over 7,000,000 shares of SLR, it would be nearly impossible for us to make an IPO to accumulate all or most of the SLR shares within the umbrella of our own company.
* With that incredible number of shareholders, it would be a very dangerous position for us to be in to fail to meet shareholder expectations. We would like to bring our company into the SLCAPEX with as clear of a slate as possible, and the responsibility to existing shareholders of SLR would be quite terrific.

* Speaking with our financial advisor and literal second in command, T*** Mi***----who has never in any way been happy with our various "diversifications" away from our two core strengths--publishing and direct investment--she has voted strongly no on this deal. She has many of the same concerns that I do, as far as getting too deep into things that our experience is not in concert with, and the spreading of one of our main assets--the talents and creativity of Nicolo --to the very limit could undermine all of our future plans. T***** is likewise unable to devote much time to the internet in her current life situation, and while this is likely to change in the coming months, she is unable to devote any sort of time in the immediate near-term to help and/or cooperate with Nicolo in working on the turnaround of SLR.

I wish SLR the best of luck, and I have no doubt that as long as Nicolo is an employee of SLR that you should see some phenomenal success. He is by far the most talented, ingenuitive, and motivated individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I sincerely hope that this does not in any way hinder his continued employment with your firm.

Again I also hope that this does not hinder our future ability to bring PFM/IVY to SLCAPEX as a public company--I think after the turn of the year that we would like to bring at least our book publishing division to your exchange, and grow from there. It would be a much smaller IPO than 7,000,000 shares (more like 1.5-2 million shares total, with 600,000 to 1 million being sold to the public), which would be more realistically in line with our sales projections for our upcoming book projects, and need as a company. We would be able to satisfy our investors with healthy dividends, grow our company, and advance our brands.

Thank you so much for your time, again, and I look forward to working with you, Mr. Beck, and SLCAPEX in the future if the possibility still exists.

How will this "potential" buyout affect current investors? In other words, are we as investors waiting for new management to run SLR for a period and then find its new value, or will this buyout instantly improve SLR's financials with extra capital being put into its coffers, or other such positive measures being taken.

I understand that nothing is finanlized, you made that clear by stating it was a "potential" buyout. The potential implications of a buyout are both positive and negative, and without some guidance otherwise, it is likely investors will show both traits. The current wild shifts in price may be reflective of this state of "limbo," or I may be reading too much into numbers on my screen.

Please, I believe that any information regarding how this buyout will affect current investors is critical to the stability of SLR prices. Information will give us all some guidance as to where SLR will go in the near future.

_________________________________________________________________

My name is Nicolo Luminos, and while my Rez Date may show that I am quite young in SL, I have been an observer of SL Financials for a long time. During the months of October-November 2006 I engaged in a comprehensive study of the SL Economy, with a focus on Currency Exchanges and what I believed was the developmental work that was going into the development of the SL Stock Exchanges. I spent a great deal of time in and around the Neifreistadt area (Colonia Nova was still being built), and before it became the CDS. Somewhere between Government and Financials is where my interests lie, in real life and second life. My study came to an end before the MSE or WSE or AVIX were created.

Before anyone asks--I don't remember my alt's name (if I had I would not have started a new one)---I wasn't totally happy with the name, anyways, and am more than happy with the one I have. It is rare in life to have a name pressed upon you that you are completely happy with. Maybe someday I will have time to track my ghost down on the Neifreistadt forum, but I stay busy as many of you know.

I came back again in October, 2008, to look at how things had changed in two years and was quite excited and intrigued by what I found---A very vibrant, in some cases, overwhelmingly active financial market, with many different participants in various industries and 4 trading platforms with distinct differences that give them their own nuances.

I have respect for each of the 4 exchanges, and see developments going on at all of them that make the future look bright. I do not have any reason whatsoever to favor one exchange over another, even if I think in some cases the platforms may appear and/or work better than others, even if only in certain ways.

In real life I am a full-time writer/blogger/freelancer. I had been covering college football and the election throughout the summer (if anyone wonders how you can cover college football in July, you have never lived in the American South), but by late September I was thoroughly exhausted with the election cycle, and I had transitioned to trying to cover niched interests---namely, Pirates and Gunrunners. Recent events show that I was at least on the right track as a rash of Somoli Piracy has turned up in the news in the last week, and only affirms what I was trying to expose all along.

Now, if you don't mind, I am going to cut and paste a few things from my SL blog regarding my journalistic mission statement, which I wrote about a week into my new stint here in SL, as I identified a niche for myself here---financial reporting.

"While many of the fundamentals of a growing and vibrant Financial Market in Second Life are in place, one of the areas that has need is a continuously active and unbiased press."

"At this point the role of "The Press" should be a consolidation of all sources, as well as direct access to CEO's, Company Officials, and Shareholders and Potential Shareholders as per their availability and newsworthiness."

The entire mission statement can be read at the following link, which also covers my (meager) investments in the market, and the rules for interviewing "On-The-Record", "Off-The-Record", and "On Background". http://luminoscity.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-journalistic-mission-statement.html

I am a voracious researcher, undeniably addicted writer, and the massive amount of information, developments, and the pace with which all this takes place in SL is about the only thing I have found as a professional web writer that fits my needs.

In addition to being the Managing Editor of SLReports.net, I also write for SL-Newspaper, and there may be other publications that enlist my services directly or indirectly.

I do not see a conflict of interest in these arrangments, as I strictly adhere to the standards of the other publications I write for, and as a journalist, I am more or less neutral to where things are published as long as they are--and I am compensated for my efforts.

As Managing Editor of SLReports.net it is my absolute goal to return SLReports.net to the forefront of SL financial reporting, indeed, to make it the premier daily news source for Financial Markets and Business News. Success in this regard will spell untold benefits and dividends not only for the shareholders of SLR, but for all active participants in the financial markets. Our other new reporter, Alessandra Narayan, is also dedicated to this cause, and I think between the two of us we will ideally get a very broad and comprehensive view of the events, people, and conditions that make the SL Economy tick.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with all of you in expanding the SL Financial Markets.

For sake of transparency i believe unrealized gain/loss is essential, and NPV. I also believe land should be valuated at NPV, hopefully a 3rd party could in the future TP around sl and file a report on actual value to give "reasonable valuation", the CEO will most likely be more or less biased.

I'll try to expirement abit with GDB and (hopefully) GIIF's financials to see if i can make something not completely useless ;)

Yep, Public company Accounting in SL given the community's history of allowing unsubstantiated NAV claims, SIMS recorded as assets and other methods of impropriety have created an atmosphere where it was nearly impossible for common shareholders and potential investors to reliably determine a prospect company's net worth.

Therefor, when Arbitrage and I acquired AVIX (now SL CapEx) we decided to move away from the WSE/SLEC advocated methods in favor of GAAP-based principles, to wit mandating that Co's attempt to submit both an Income Statement and Balance Sheet, and forward guidance each month. It's a generally understood methodology that provides a reasonable baseline for evaluation and comparison of companies. Compelling compliance and broadly consistent recognition methodologies has been a struggle to say the least.

The SOLITARY reason why we've suggested that folks transfer the Current Periods Retained Earnings from the Income Statement to the Balance Sheet as a Stand-alone transaction is to provide a level of transparency that allows non-finance oriented persons to readily "follow the money" from I.S. to B.S. each month.

I've suggested that a seperate line-item entry under Equity labeled either as Cumulative R.E. or Surplus (Deficit) be used for recording the accumulated prior periods earnings.

Some of us whose SL Businesses include substantial SL Stock portfolios have also agreed to report such investments using NPV on the Balance Sheet. You may find some folks then demonstrate any impairment in the Equities portion of the Balance Sheet via a Line Item labeled "Unrealized Investment Gains" or something similar.

If you know of a BETTER way to transparently portray them I'd sure love to hear your thoughts. Our system isn't nearly perfect but I'd argue it's a far cry better than what some others in SL accept as "Financial Statements".

As to the 2 methods you guys use, i haven't heard till now heard that Capital surplus should be directly based on RE (rather on assets-liabilities-allotherequity).

Well maybe i'm abit overtired like i was when i asked the previous question, i'm sure Bo has some reasonable explination and in some way both methods provide the same result.

Thank you for your questions. First, the retained earnings one:

You have stumbled upon a small misunderstanding and now disagreement that I have with Bogart Beck (but I'm pretty sure he's ok with it) regarding the reporting of Retained Earnings.

My first accounting class (and GAAP) require that Retained Earnings be a cumulative account calculated as follows:

Retained Earnings this period = Retained Earnings Last Period + Net Income - Dividends

Bogart prefers that we report as follows (which was unknown to me until about two months ago):

Retained Earnings this period = Net Income - Dividends
Capital Surplus this period = Capital Surplus last period + Retained Earnings Last Period

The way that SLR has such a negative retained earnings is from its early days, when it basically paid out some of its IPO funds as dividends. This made the "- Dividends" portion of the Retained Earnings formula far outweigh the "+ Net Income" portion, and so we've been stuck down there for awhile. The thing to remember about Retained Earnings is that on the Income Statement, it's for this period, but on the Balance Sheet, it's cumulative. Thus we haven't been losing 1.3mil each period - that's the sum of our losses to date.

As to the par value, I'll redirect you to a semi-rant I wrote awhile ago on my blog. See if this answers your question about that: http://secondchaos.blogspot.com/2008/01/par-value.html

By all means, keep asking. If you're still really confused, let's work out a time to meet in-world and I'll help you understand what's going on.

Retained Earnings: ($1,288,368.00) ?

Capital surplus: 0 ?

I can think of one reason, that is because you decided to slash common stock down to 0.01 PAR, but shouldn't the remainder land at capital surplus then ?

Disclaimer: i'm no accountant, i just cannot understand how a company with a bookvalue of 2,3mill can lose 1,3mill for past 4 months and not end up in negative equity. (unless Cash, somehow donates cash under the table ;) )

Keep in mind, we are looking for a new CEO. We need someone who has good ideas to revitalize this website.

One main issue that I have addressed is our listing on external search engines (eg. google, yahoo etc). In the coming weeks we will appear in near or in the top ten searches. This is an important factor for SL Reports as currently we cannot be found. I have paid for these services out of my own pocket and they are preformed by a specialist professional company. Once our traffic increases we are able to generate the revenue that so far has been very low for SLR.

Languages format will be adjusted in the coming months with separate pages for each language. Our translations will continue to be done by VBL. Language tracking for this month is:
English 64%
German 8%
Portuguese 7%
Italian 7%
Dutch 4%
Japanese 4%
French 3%
Chinese 2%
Finnish 1%

We are looking forward to the changes that the next two weeks will bring.

As with last month, I’ve hidden some columns to facilitate ease of reading. If anyone needs the full data, let me know and I’ll post a large version or download it to Excel.

Cash wanted me to mention to everyone that he has paid the RL Search Engine Optimization (SEO) fees for SLR. I’ll be reflecting that on the financials in the coming month, since it happened after 8/31.

Income Statement:

Adsense revenue this month was USD$2.54. This has been a pretty low month for income, but Cash has some tricks up his sleeve which should increase that soon. I’ll leave a more detailed description of that to Cash, should he choose to post it.

We also have (on Line 37) a small currency gain. More details on that are below.

Balance Sheet:

As to the Balance Sheet, we had some more conversion from USD to L$ this period, which brought additional in-world cash to SLR. Our CEO has used some of this cash to continue repurchasing shares. Also, you may note that we now have a value in the Long Term Investments line. SLR has taken a small position in a few stable companies on CapEx.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Nothing unusual to report.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

Arbitrage Wise facilitated a conversion of currency from USD (mostly Adsense revenue) to L$ in order to allow us to have more liquidity in the metaverse. We converted USD$41.18 to L$11,324.50, a gain (over the expected and formerly reported value) of L$205.90, which has been reported on the income statement.

I was getting tired of scrolling through the statements to read what line I was on, though, so this should make it easier to see.

Income Statement:

Adsense revenue this month was USD$9.14. We also received our first pay-per-click advertising revenues, which brought in L$910. While not a huge amount, it shows that our new strategies are bringing in revenues, and hopefully benefiting both the advertisers and SLR.

Net income dwindled in response to low revenue, but we are hoping this picks up with some more stories in August. Remember, ANYONE can write a story to SLR – just send it to either me or Cash, we’ll review it, and most likely publish it. Current story fees average about L$500 each.

Balance Sheet:

Not a whole lot took place on the balance sheet this month. We did have our first USD-to-USD transaction (that I’ve gotten to report), which is detailed better on the Currency Gain/(Loss) page.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Nothing unusual to report.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

We had a USD expense this month (hosting fees) of USD$30.33, which I was asked to convert at a rate of L$275/USD. You can see the cost reported by using this conversion, and that is reported on the income statement, line 21. Next month, we will receive the remainder of our outstanding USD balance deposited into the SLR account in Linden Dollars (It’s actually already happened, but won’t make it to the financials until next month).

Peter - An excellent second post, you should be commended.

Bo - Peter doesn't appear to be very concerned with the value of VBL as he is actually buying more shares and now appears in the Top 10, maybe he's just trying to scare investors and reduce the share price so that he can buy more.

As far as the credibility of Capex, I'll remain polite he's got it so badly wrong again and he just seems to be so far out of his depth.

If any VBL investor would like to know more about the sub plot behind Peters second post on Capex just send me an e-mail to caymanbeaumont@hotmail.com and I'll happily provide the details.

This month was pretty typical, so comments are kind of short this time. If you need anything better explained, just ask.

Income Statement:

Adsense revenue this month was USD$12.56. However, there is also an accounting correction to make. I was not reading the Adsense reports properly for the past two months and so I was reporting the average income as the total income. I take full responsibility for this error, but fortunately it results in an understatement rather than an overstatement of earnings. About USD$22 went unreported in April and May, and you will find that on line 43, “Less Effect Of Accounting Changes” in the income statement.

This month we also started a new form of advertising based on clicks rather than page impressions. We had our first customer for this new product, and we also had some artwork fees and a new top banner this month. Overall, top-line revenue increased to a little over L$8,500 this month.

Balance Sheet:

Not a whole lot here this month. We are continuing to repurchase shares, but at a slower rate than before because the price has been increasing. Share awards continue to be used for some executive positions and exemplary writing staff.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Nothing unusual to report.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

No currency conversion occurred this month.

Nice job Guardian. My question is where the heck is Cash. Isn't he suppose to be running SLR. I have to say I hardly even go there anymore because days at a time go by with nothing new posted. Xavier had SLR built up to be the go to site in SL for news. Now it is only a bit more than an unkept blog. As I watch my stock investment in SLR going down daily and the abysmal financials you must post, the outlook is not good. Death by abandonment. What a shame!

This is a good thing – we have enough history that you may have to scroll)

Questions are, of course, welcome.

Income Statement:

SLR is experiencing a dramatic drop in our Adsense revenue, despite not having a dramatic drop in page impressions. Here’s an idea of what I’m looking at:

Month | Clicks | Revenue (USD)
March | 8,595 | $13.42
April | 6,011 | $1.78
May | 6,938 | $2.26

These numbers are very telling. From March to April we had a drop of 30% in impressions, but 86.7% in revenue! The numbers from May are more hopeful, with revenue rising faster than impressions on a percentage basis, but this is still clearly a concern.

Cash and Arbitrage (with my chiming in, occasionally) have already begun to combat this by asking for opinions on the SLR advertising structure. We are still open to suggestion (although changes are happening), and you’ll find the thread to post in here: http://www.slcapex.com/forums/topic/SLR/1961

The largest expense this month was our writers’ fees, and once again, I’m happy to see those going up. Content drives readership, and if you all haven’t been to SLR in awhile, I encourage you to go. We are developing a team of dedicated writers, and content is updated frequently and (at least to me) interesting.

The second-largest expense is Management Salaries, but I ask you all to remember that this expense is taken from treasury shares and recorded at market value as an expense per SFAS 123, so the effect is somewhat dampened. I’ll leave it at that, but if anyone would like more detail, feel free to post here or IM me in-world.

Balance Sheet:

There were some slight revisions to the April numbers. Basically, it’s not an issue of what happened so much as when it happened, and I made a few minor errors because of crunched time in my First Life. They have been revised.

That being said, we are still buying back shares slowly but surely. This month, 13,499 shares were repurchased at varying prices, and that trend will continue as long as we view SLR as undervalued and cash flow permits.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Due to the lack of revenue this month, retained earnings dropped by about L$27,000. Again, we are hoping for a rebound next month.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

No currency conversion occurred this month.

I just placed a top page rotating banner (468x60) on a very high traffic site (SLProfile), and they charge weekly or monthly. That was 5000$L for one full month. According to the stats they provide me, it got 10000 impressions on the second day. So about 5000 impressions/day.

I don't know how many clicks it got, but the club I advertised, saw newcomers on the 3rd day. So I guess it worked. Maybe it is due to the nature of the ad (a club), but I wouldn't pay 5000$L for 10000 impressions. A click count would be a better deal.

I had a Advertising there and Cash was so friendly to tell me how many clicks i had on them . I realized that not even 0.5% of the impressions where leading to a klick on my add. May be SLReports was not a good place to advertise my buisenes but its the only number i have so lets calculate with it.

Lets say i would take a
Skyscraper : 125x600 pixels (All Pages)
with 10000 impressions. that would cost L$5000
if 0.5% of the impressions lead to a klick that means
50 klicks and i Payed L$100 per klick. WOW i think that this is by far to much.
If i get at good inworld places putting out a Advertising board paying 250 per week, i get may be 20 klicks a week so i am at L$12.5 for each klick.
Most of the advertisings i have out have a even better rate.
So may be 5 to 10 Linden per klick would be a good idea if there are some build in stops (against bots for example )

By the way i already once sugested this to Cash in a private talk some month ago.But it doesn't seam to be realy the way they want to go at SLReports

I like this idea, provided billing on the number of clicks is done frequently (weekly?) and ads with unpaid clicks are promptly removed.

Since you seem to have some familiarity in this arena, what would you suggest for the low basic fee and price per click? Anyone else have an idea on this?

I think the problem with the advertsing price is that is counted per expression.
As far as i understood it the google advertising is counted and priced by clicks for example.
Your is a relativela traditional way to charge for them that compleetly ignores the advantages that the internet can give to you and to your customers.
For example its not possible for a customer to see how sucessfull an advertisment is . They pay thesame if it is successfull or not. I think that holds many people back to just check it out if an advertisment at your page would make sense.

My suggestion would be to charge a relatively low basic fee but then to charge per klick. I think that this would bring in a lot more customers for advertising because the risk would be relatively low. If the platform isn't good to advertise their buisenes they will get not much klicks. Then they will probably leave again to save the basic fee.
But the Advertiments that are interesting for your readers get many klicks. Then it will get more expensive for the customer but if i know that a certein advertisment is sucessfull i have no problem if it is expensive.

Advertising is currently our only revenue generator, we depend on this. Last two months we have unfortunately not received one new advert or customer.

Our writers, namely SL Hak have been doing a wonderful job - congratulations to them.

I have posted a topic for new Sales Execs to drive more advertising to the site. One will be onboard in the next week or so. We are still taking applications for more Sales Execs.

If you have any questions or statements, please post them in a topic in the forum.

Please check out proposal and vote (Board and Shareholders)

After remaining trustee of the slreports.net and sl-virtual-world-news.com domains for over one year of Wise Metaverse ownership, I have today transferred full registration and control of the domains to Arbitrage Wise, majority shareholder of SL Reports.

I had been worried to an extent that this action would affect site up time, but it would appear that the transaction went very smoothly and was completely problem-free.

This move effectively removes my last bit of involvement from the SL Reports brand. I look forward to remaining involved, however, as a regular reader for years to come.

This move also poses several new opportunities for SL Reports management, as the domain and related assets are now under direct control of those in involved with the website's strategic planning and marketing efforts.

I respect that your your shares are going down, but I am in the same boat as you Sando and others, yet I have not decreased my holdings at less than 1.00, unlike some large sell orders around the .60 cent mark.

One bad month is all that has happened. The previous months I paid out of my own pocket to purchase a parcel of land and pay tier to increase SLR's 'SL presence', so that we would appear high in Linden Lab search listings - this was quite successful to bring in revenue for SLR and I am waiting for the new relocation of the SLR Office to do that again, but this time it will not incur any cost to me personally.

With the support of shareholders we can build SLR into a strong reporting team, but without the support we will continually see the price drop. Remove all the low sell orders and the price will increase.

Congratulations to SL Hak for the wonderful work that has been submitted to SLR recently. The passion that SL Hak shows towards SLR has attracted a bonus of 5,000 SLR Shares for this month, in addition to the L$500 per story. SL Hak has now been given the rights to post stories immediately,

I will focus continue to focus on building more quality content and am always on the look out for good quality stories. In addition to that I will drive more advertisers to SLR this coming month as I have done on previous months, which financials will show.

Our team is getting stronger and we will continue to grow on this path.

Questions are, of course, welcome.

Income Statement:

After a stellar March, it was a bit quiet on the income side for SLR this month. We had no new advertisers, and our Adsense revenue netted us a whopping USD$1.78, or L$481 this month. Such fluctuations are to be expected in such a volatile realm as SL, and we are hoping for a rebound next month.

Expenses were slightly higher than usual due to a proliferation of stories on the front page. I am NOT complaining about this, and will happily take even more content. Content drives SLR, and if you have something to say, send it on over. You need not be a columnist to write a column, and if I can say anything definitive about those who write in this forum, it’s that we all have opinions.

One other oddball note about the expenditures occurs in Line 19. FAS 123 states that share-based compensation should be expensed at the market value of the shares. For my work as SLR’s CFO, I am paid in shares and not Lindens. What you see in that line is my compensation’s value for the month. So, you may ask, why has this line been nearly blank before? Because the cost is only recognized for a company paying out their treasury shares, and before my compensation was a private transaction between me and another principal shareholder. Because SLR has its own stockpile of treasury shares (pun intended) now, we’ll probably see more of this sort of thing going on in Line 19.

Balance Sheet:

Not a whole lot changed in the top 2/3 of the balance sheet this time around, so I’m going to simply mention that we are still buying up shares at market price. As of 4/30, we have repurchased over 170,000 shares. We will continue to buy when funds permit and the market prices merit purchase.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Due to the lack of revenue this month, retained earnings dropped by about L$18,000. Again, we are hoping for a rebound next month.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

No currency conversion occurred this month.

As always, my commentary will follow. Questions are, of course, welcome

Income Statement:

The big story this month appears at the top – both the top of the www.slreports.net page and the top of the income statement. First Meta Card has placed a front-and-center banner ad at SLR, and along with a few smaller ads (though no less important!), top-line revenue is up 154% to a whopping L$97,000! Expenses were also low, although from my perspective I’d rather have more stories submitted and see a larger charge to the Services line (that’s a hint to all you aspiring writers out there!)
The net income was L$93,773 for this month. No dividends were paid in March, and if you take a look at the balance sheet you’ll see why.

Balance Sheet:

Arbitrage graciously re-converted all SLW shares owned by CEOs back to Linden Dollars in the early part of March, so our short-term investments got changed back into cash. However, one of the ads we received paid in the form of 6,000 SLW shares, which I have valued at L$1.
Accounts receivable and accounts payable both dropped heavily as we used one to cancel out the other. Party A, who owed us money, simply repaid it by paying Party B what he was due for the quarter.

The hyper-observant among you will probably recognize that there’s a slight change in the Shareholders’ Equity section this month. We have treasury shares! That’s right, SLR has been slowly but surely buying back shares, and we’ve accumulated a little over 120,000 to date. These shares will NOT be destroyed, but rather held until a time where we feel the market price is better (management, including me, feels SLR is currently undervalued). Until then, these shares will sit in the treasury, and any dividends paid to these shares will go back into the corporate cash line.

Statement of Retained Earnings:

We’re making some progress digging out of that huge negative Retained Earnings hole that SLR is sitting in. As I’ve remarked before, that hole isn’t so much because of unprofitability, but rather because of an excess of dividends paid over IPO capital. It’s like a refund, but we’re making progress on it nonetheless.

Currency Gain/(Loss):

No currency conversion occurred this month.

This condition existed when I checked 12 or so hours ago, it may even be longer. I can't imagine staff not knowing about this, and if they do, why is there no announcement on it, even if it's a simple one stating they are aware of it? If I'm the first investor/reader that notices and posts about it, things definitely don't look good for SLR traffic wise.

Anyone care to respond?
