Great press releases, but is there any substance? Perhaps investors should focus on the following elements:

Since then, we have not been able to find any financial statements indicating its sales, profits or losses. The company says it will release financial statements sometime in the next few months. As a pink sheet company, you have no obligation to provide investors with up-to-date or accurate information.

b) In an article published on October 14, 2004, the company was quoted as saying: “We are no longer in a position, from a financial point of view, to continue doing business and unfortunately we are forced to suspend our operations and liquidate our assets. in support of our financial responsibilities. “

c) In a call to the company today, the company acknowledged that it had closed marketing about eight months ago due to technology updates and plans to reopen in about three to four months.

d) Who is Microscan International? They allegedly placed an order for $ 45 million to purchase L International products. However, a quick search on google.com turns up absolutely nothing on them, not even a website.

e) While the company claims that it manufactures its own technologies with employees working from its corporate headquarters, it appears that the registered address is, in fact, a mailbox at The UPS Store in Santa Barbara, California.

f) L International Computers, Inc shares are listed on Pink Sheets and have been actively promoted through spam actions. Interestingly, a message posted by Pink Sheets LLC on PinkSheets.com indicates that they have removed stock quotes from their website until the company makes current information available to the investment community.
