Results of actions

Mister, there is no punishment for avoiding obligations resulting from stock exchange.

Our free float is now 30% - we don’t care about the minority shares.

This matter is dealt with by our Authorized Supplier.

Maybe I would be eager to pay 50 PLN per month, but no more.

This stock exchange was good only at the beginning – at that time we gained around 500k PLN. Now, I’d rather forget about it. No worth bothering.

Diagnosis after the meetings

• The number of potential clients: 300

• Optimistic market share: 20% = 60 joint stock companies

• Monthy fee – 50 PLN per month = 3000 PLN

(initial assuption was 900 PLN per month)

• Monthly cost – sales force, developer, server >>>> 3000 PLN

We were caught in „vicious circle”
