Infotopia Continues Downward Spiral, Shareholders
Sell Off On Registration of Additional 93 Million
Shares (Correction from 1.9 Million)
Houston, TX – (OTCBB NEWSNETWORK) – January 15,
2002, Investors are demonstrating their
disapproval of Infotopia’s Inc. (IFTA: .007)
registration of 93 million shares yesterday. The
S-8 filing says 79,000,000 of the shares are
being issued “as option to executives” and the
other 14 million are “to be issued to an attorney
with Registrant`s counsel for legal services
rendered.”
Shareholders are apparently unhappy with the
continued dilution of IFTA. IFTA completed a
reverse split last year on the pretense of
obtaining an AMEX or Nasdaq listing. Obviously
without something drastic happening to push
IFTA’s share price above a penny, much less the
multi-dollar requirements of exchanges, IFTA may
fall into a never-ending spiral. With a declining
share price companies are forced to issue more
shares than previously required.


==============================================


Infotopia wird deswegen nicht eingehen und zu
einem Bounce ansetzen. Die Cashqoute beträgt 0,07
$ je Aktie !! Es wurden in den letzten Handelstagen ca. 150 Mill. Aktien getradet. Somit müßten die freigewordenen Aktien im Markt sein. Von diesem Niveau aus und mit dem langsam nachlassenden Volumen in den USA, bietet sich hier eine gute Chance an einem spektakulären UpMove teilzunehmen.
Die Umsätze in D sind die letzten Tage gut angezogen und der Makler stellt faire Spannen. Somit ist die Aktie für uns hier sehr gut geeignet.

0,001 x 0,002 in ber gerade. Bei solchen fairen preisen muß man zugreifen.


USA zwischenzeitlich +9%

[V51]

hab mir auch noch ein paar geholt zu 0,002.
Morgen wieder bei 0,004 ask.

[Midi2000]

Amerikakurs aktuell 0,0012 Dollar.
BID sogar nur 0,0011.


0,004 ASK morgen also in Deutschland ?

Wer da echt kaufen sollte, verdient es nicht besser.

[V51]

Wer sagt das jemand zu 0,004 kauft?

Schau Dir T&S an die letzten Wochen, da stand immer ein 0,004er Ask, deswegen hat auch keiner gekauft.
Aber das gestrige 0,002er Ask bietet faire Einstiegschance.
Aktuell 0,001 G nur.

[V51]

0,002 BER T jetzt.
Mal sehn ob man noch welche zu 2 bekommt heute

[adjust]

Scheint nichts zu passieren.

[Brokerhiwi]

Oje, Ihr könnt es wohlimmer noch nicht lassen. Habt Ihr Euch beim letzten Mal die Finger verbrannt und seid auf dem Schrott sitzen geblieben. Jetzt versucht Ihr neue Dumme zu finden, die Euch den Müll abnehmen.
Schaut Euch nur mal den US-Kurs an, keine Sau interessiert sich dafür. 0,004 in D, Ha Ha.

[V51]

Ich verstehe Deine Aussage nicht ganz?

Wer sagt das ich 0,004 bezahle, ich versuche welche zu 0,002 zu bekommen und das ist ja wohl fair.
Wenn Du welche haben solltest gib sie mir doch zu 0,001, aber sag vorher bescheid damit ich die Order ändern kann.

[Midi2000]

0,002 ist auch nicht fair.
Aber leider gibt es in Deutschland leider nur drei Stellen hinter dem Komma. Bei Amikursen um die 0,0013 Dollar ist 0,002 Euro schon ein sehr heftige Aufschlag Nur wird man zu 0,001 Euro wohl keine bekommen.
Also versuch besser, in Amerika zu kaufen wenn Du das irgendwie kannst.

[V51]

Das hatte ich schonmal gemacht und dann hab ich sie hier nicht verkaufen können.
Genau andersrum, es gibt shares die man hier kaufen kann aber nicht in usa verkaufen kann.
Es geht um die Verwahrstelle, ob die in D oder in USA ist.

Und so hoch ist der Aufpreis nun wahrlich nicht.
Das 0,004er Ask war ein Witz.

[Brokerhiwi]

0,004 im ASK ist ja wunderschön. Wenn ich welche hätte würde ich sie für 0,04 reinstellen. Aber ein ASK alleine macht noch keinen Kurs, geschweige einen TRADE.
Genauso lief der letzte Zock. Jemand ist seine für 0,004 losgeworden, und die Käufer sitzen jetzt wieder dumm da. Vermute, Du hast welche zu dem Preis bekommen, was?
Naja, weiterhin viel Glück damit, vielleicht springt ja mal ein Neuer drauf an.

[V51]

Der Kurs wird nicht hier gemacht und wo sollen sie hinfallen??

Nachden Absturz setzt ein techn. Bounce an und ifta ist daran sehr int. die Aktie im Handel zu lassen, sie drucken nämlich damit förmlich geld. Und sie werden schon eine nette neue Story / News aufbauen für den nächsten Hype, nur darum geht es.

Dir auch viel Glück.

[Brokerhiwi]

Na klar, Aktien drucken, Kurs verwässern, mehr Aktien drucken, Kurs weiter verwässern, usw.
Was weißt Du über die zukünftigen Pläne des Unternehmens? Deine Aussage läßt mich auf reine Spekulation schließen. Ich habe vom PR-Menschen nix neues gehört.
Aber gut, bei 0,001 kann man rein und auf den technischen Rebound hoffen.
Wenn drüben mal was passiert, geht das hier ja bekanntlich ganz schnell.

[V51]

Wir brauchen ja wirklich keine fund. Disk. über Infotopia anfangen, die sind und bleiben nunmal schrott.
Das waren sie im Grunde auch als sie vor 3 jahren bei 1200 $ !!! (ja richtig gelesen) das stck. notierten.
Aber genau aus der Gelddruckmotivation der größeren Halter kann man sich ja so sicher sein das sie nicht mit einmal verschwinden.
0,001 kriegt man nat. nicht, aber 0,002 bitet gute chancen bei nem schönen Move und richtig ja, bei diesen werten gehts dann verdammt schnell.

P.S. solange die ihre spots im fernsehen noch zeigen, was soll passieren.

[Brokerhiwi]

Na klar, Recht hast Du. 0,001 wird schon wiederkommen, da bin ich mir sicher. 1.200 $, kann mich noch dran erinnern. Aber ausschlaggebend ist doch die MK.
We will see. Der nächste kleine Zock kommt, und von 0,001 bis 0,002 sind es schließlich 100%...

[adjust]

Knapp 7 Mill. Umsatz gestern wieder.
Sieht Nach Bodenbildunge nun aus, soweit man das sagen kann.

[V51]

Ja wieder kaum Umsätze zum Bid, größere Pos. werden nur zum Ask weggekauft,

Hier heute wieder schönes bid /ask

INFOTOPIA, INC (OTCBB: IFTAE) AND JOSHUA TREE CONSTRUCTION, INC. (OTCBB: JSHT) PART II - A TREE GROWS IN CANFIELD

April 26, 2002


There has been little news from Infotopia, Inc. (OTCBB: IFTAE) in recent months, and share prices have faded to a fraction of a cent. That, however, does not mean that members of Infotopia’s management team have been idle. As we discovered in our first installment of this series, Infotopia’s Chairman and CEO, Daniel Hoyng, and its Senior Vice President and Secretary, Marek Lozowicki, now occupy those same positions at another OTC Bulletin Board Company, Joshua Tree Construction, Inc. (OTCBB: JSHT).

Joshua Tree is already announcing acquisitions, sending out optimistic press releases, and issuing stock, options and warrants. And Joshua Tree is now controlled by Canadian investment house, Thomson Kernaghan (a frequent recipient of Infotopia shares) and a pair of offshore companies controlled by Thomson Kernhagan’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Valentine.

The Valentine-controlled entities, Canadian Advantage Limited Partnership (CALP) and Advantage [Bermuda] Fund, Ltd. (ABFL), acquired about 64% of the outstanding Joshua Tree from its former majority stockholder, First Capital Partners MM, Inc. in January 2002. Since then, the Valentine group (including Thomson Kernhagan) has increased its interest in the Company. By March 20, 2002, they controlled over 86% of the voting securities.

Since then, the new Joshua Tree team has been busy.


The Boys Are Back In Town

When First Capital Partners MM turned control of Joshua Tree over to the Valentine group, First Capital’s President, Vincent Hesser resigned from his positions as President and sole director of Joshua Tree. After that, the majority shareholder – apparently CALP – appointed Infotopia’s Daniel Hoyng and Marek Lozowicki as the Company’s new directors. Hoyng and Lozowicki then proceeded to appoint themselves as CEO and President, and Senior Vice President and Secretary, respectively. Under Nevada corporate law, the Company did not have to seek approval from its public shareholders before making these various appointments.

Business wise, Joshua Tree began moving in a new direction even before the Hoyng and Lozowicki appointments were announced. On January 23, 2002, one week before the duo started running the Company, Joshua Tree said that it had signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a private company called American Health and Diet Centers, Inc. (AHDC). Less than a month later, on February 13th, the Company announced that the deal had been completed - although a Form 8-K said it actually closed on March 22nd.

The Joshua Tree press releases described AHDC as “a multi-channel marketer of high quality nutraceuticals and natural health product solutions” that operated 22 retail locations under the names “Vitamin Healthcenters” and “The Nutritionary.” It also claimed that AHDC had more than $10.6 million in net sales in 2000. So far, however, Joshua Tree has not filed any audited financial statements for AHDC.

Joshua Tree’s January 23rd press release also had this nugget for investors:


American Health and Diet Centers, Inc. is planning an aggressive growth strategy for 2002 and plans to open 150 new locations, with further plans to expand to over 1,500 locations by the end of 2005. The new locations will be both Company Stores and Franchised locations.


That level of growth would be unprecedented for AHDC, which began business in 1979 and now has 22 stores – an average of one new store for each year it has been in business. It is unclear whether any of the existing stores – most based in kiosks located in shopping malls – are owned by individual franchisees, or whether all are owned by the Company. In any event, franchising is a complex business, with rigorous legal restrictions, a steep learning curve, and strong competition for franchisees. There is nothing that would indicate that AHDC is positioned or prepared to sell hundreds of franchises from what seems to be an almost standing start.

A Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2002 summarized the transaction. Joshua Tree disclosed that it paid $3 million for the AHDC stock by giving seven year promissory notes to the former AHDC shareholders. In general terms, Joshua Tree’s obligation to pay the promissory notes is secured by all of the assets of AHDC and Joshua Tree, the AHDC stock, and a mortgage on Daniel Hoyng’s home. That means the former AHSC owners stand to get back their business, everything belonging to Joshua Tree, and Hoyng’s residence, if the Company fails to pay the $3 million notes as they come due.

The Form 8-K does not indicate when the Company must begin paying off those promissory notes. Although the Form 8-K initially states that the transaction documents are attached, it later indicates that they will be provided in a subsequent amendment.

In addition to the promise to pay $3 million, Joshua Tree has given the former AHDC owners, Melvin Simon and Keith Frankel, a total of 2.2 million warrants to purchase Joshua Tree common stock at $0.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time until March 2007.

Chances are it will not take that long for the warrants to be exercised; Joshua Tree has promised to file a Registration Statement for the stock underlying those warrants by May 21, 2002. That means the Company will be registering those 2.2 million shares in addition to the 3,250,000 shares that it has agreed to register for CALP and ABFL. And that does not even include nearly 10 million shares that could be registered for Thomson Kernhagan.

There’s more. Frankel initially will have the right to choose three out of five members of the Company’s Board of Directors – but Joshua Tree does not say how long he will enjoy that privilege. Frankel also entered into a two year consulting agreement with Joshua Tree in exchange for options to buy an additional 3.5 million shares. And yes, the Company has agreed to register those 3.5 million shares by May 21st as well. That means that Joshua Tree will be registering somewhere between 9 million and 20 million shares - that we know of - within the next month.

As part of the acquisition, Joshua Tree also agreed to provide AHDC with at least $300,000 in working capital and “to pay down outstanding debt owed by AHDC to Hudson United Bank in the amount of $3.35 million and outstanding receivables to Vitaquest International, Inc. ("Vitaquest"), an entity controlled by Mr. Frankel, in the amount of $1.8 million.”

The relationship with Vitaquest apparently will be ongoing. AHDC entered into an exclusive manufacturing agreement with Vitaquest for an initial period of five years to fulfill its vitamin and nutraceutical requirements.

Where will Joshua Tree get the funds to pay its obligations under the AHDC promissory note, provide working capital, and satisfy the $1.8 million in “outstanding receivables to Vitaquest”? The Company says it has sold, and will continue to sell, stock. Presumably, that could signal more transactions with Thomson Kernaghan and other offshore investors.

Still, there could be immediate cause for concern. According to Simon and Frankel, Joshua Tree was already in default on April 3, 2002. The Company says it expects to cure that default, as required, within thirty days. It has not said how.

Issuing, and registering, 20 million shares poses one other obstacle for Joshua Tree. The Company is only authorized to issue 20 million common shares. As of December 31, 2001, it had already issued more than 3.1 million shares, so it is due to run out of common stock before all of those options and warrants are exercised. That means it will have to amend the Certificate of Incorporation. Then again, Hoyng and Lozowicki are familiar with that process, having amended the Infotopia Certificate of Incorporation on more than one occasion to satisfy that Company’s hunger for more shares to dispense.


“It Seems We’ve Stood and Talked Like This Before”

Those Infotopia connections just will not go away. The AHDC transaction is not the first business deal between Hoyng and a business controlled by Frankel. On January 2, 2002, Infotopia announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, TrenDirect Marketing, Inc., had acquired the right to purchase certain assets of a bankrupt entity called Danmark, Inc. from Frankel’s company, Vitaquest International. At the time it filed its Chapter 11 petition, Danmark owed Vitaquest more than $5 million - and Vitaquest had a lien on all of the Danmark assets.

Infotopia agreed to purchase that lien for $3,575,000, by paying $500,000 at closing, and signing a promissory note that provided for the payment of another $500,000 before December 31, 2001, $1 million by February 18, 2002, and $500,000 every month thereafter until the balance was satisfied. As collateral for those payments, Vitaquest was given a lien on assets of Infotopia and TrenDirect.

The relationships get even more intriguing. Infotopia loaned the $500,000 down payment to TrenDirect, but only after it obtained that money from Thomson Kernaghan. On January 3, 2002 Infotopia sold 38 million shares of common stock to Thomson Kernaghan for $950,000.

That took care of the down payment, but the balance due on the promissory note could pose a problem for TrenDirect and Infotopia. On January 2nd, Infotopia said it was considering spinning-off TrenDirect as a separate public entity. Although Infotopia said it anticipated making a final decision on the spin-off during the first quarter of 2002, there is no indication that it has moved forward with that plan – or that TrenDirect is doing business and generating revenues.

That would leave Infotopia obligated to pay the balance due to Vitaquest. Without current financial statements it is not possible to determine whether Infotopia is in a position to make those payments, but the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q is not encouraging. At the end of September 2001, Infotopia had about $900,000 in cash and receivables of $5 million, while its current liabilities included payables of almost $10 million.

So did Infotopia make those December 31, 2001 and February 18, 2002 payments? If not, has Vitaquest seized any assets of Infotopia or TrenDirect? Or have the two companies revised their relationship? Is there any relationship between Infotopia’s obligation to Vitaquest and that $1.8 million in “outstanding receivables to Vitaquest” that Joshua Tree has agreed to pay? If Infotopia files its Form 10-K for the year 2001, investors may get answers to those questions.


We’ve Only Just Begun

What can investors expect from Joshua Tree? Will the Company be issuing lofty releases, publishing Chairman’s messages, signaling acquisitions and dispensing shares at a breathtaking pace á la Infotopia? Will there be promises of an imminent move to NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange or even the New York Stock Exchange? Will Joshua Tree become a haven for boatloads of consultants, attorneys and offshore investors? Will Hoyng and Lozowicki – who said they owned no shares of Joshua Tree as of April 16, 2002 – be given generous employment agreements, option packages and discount-priced shares?

In other words, are we looking at Infotopia redux? One thing seems certain. It will be another year before Joshua Tree is obligated to file audited financial statements. Until then, investors will have to rely upon unaudited quarterly reports, statements from the Company, lofty press releases, and recommendations from promoters.

Just like they did with Infotopia.
