"they did smell a rat early on and employ a hard hitting consultant."

No, they got involved when the AUDIT COMMITTE ordered the Baroni assessment...which was very close to the time( 6 days later) that they put out the PR that said their $6.0MM REVENUE FORECAST (NOT PROFIT) was no good and wanted, as RG noted in the CC, another 6-9 months to get that straight.

By the time the BOD smelled anything it was too late...we paid for CROSSFLO...not PTSG like al the PR today circles around... and held back 10% ...big deal...maybe the BOD should have held back their vote to acquire Crossflo till they knew what they were buying...instead it's an after-the-fact action to get Baroni involved to see what was wrong with Crossflo and now to dump RG...it may have been his project to buy but the BOD had to approve it..if they did so not knowing what they were buying then shame on them and maybe they need to go too.

IMO it is time to stop beating down those people with more good "business sense" than many have here and stop calling them fudsters and bashers etc etc....most of posters here didn't want to hear about RG's house being on the market...or that the Baroni hiring by the Audit Committee wasn't significant (without RG being involved), or that the 3 month postponment of the SHM was anything to worry about, or that a $6.0 MM MISS of the revenue for PTSG wasn't anything to worry about... or that the companies we were acquiring all seemed too close to our offices and people that our leadership might be very familiar with....you remember...those complaining about Crossflo being a purchase to help some others out rather than us...and even though we had signings last quarter we lost money on PDS..and now no CC will be heard... after this kind of news release????? with not one single word from anyone on the BOD before this that we had problems.

Now for sure everyone has the right to their opinions and likewise the right to post them...BUT....IMO...the time has come to stop the flag-waving, Mom and apple pie, everything is wonderful just trust them all... type of posting thats even going on now...if you want to post that way at least give something that backs up your rose-colored views with some black and white facts or at least some opinions that have some business sense in them for support.

Hopefully some of the agnst will wear off by Monday...if not...then be prepared to see the teens...(if not lower) next week. Whats my support for that claim???well those who bought in in the 20's and low 30's will want out and with no buyers in that price range our sells compared to our buys ratio could be 1000 to 1 or worse...that will drive the price down. We need good news with some meat on it...not just license news...that means nothing anymore...investors want revenue numbers and profit numbers...and until we start showing both of those on a consistent basis..we deserve to be a BB stock.

IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME FOR THE BOD/FLOWERS/ ANYONE AT PTSC TO SPEAK UP...NOW IS THE TIME...BUT I WOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH WAITING...
