I'd be content for the moment if I knew what the heck was going on. I see posts about court hearings and lawsuits and locked doors and eviction notices. Is there anyone in the area who can independently verify any of this?
As you may have read in the company's recent filings, I am one of the three newest Board members, joining Bill Conlin, John Rehfeld and Ken Mann.
I've also accepted the role of Communications Officer, which provides direct oversight of PR, marketing, and most important in my opinion, Investor Relations. Hence this response comes from me.
If you don't mind me asking, I'd like to know how long you've been an ACII shareholder: this company has had some twists and turns over the past few years, and despite reading every filing, press release and message board posting we could put our hands on, those of us new to the Board can still benefit from the additional perspective brought by those who have been following the company the longest.
That said, I believe I'd be doing you a disservice if I offered a pat response to your questions. You know as well as I do that despite the tremendous potential offered by the core assets and intellectual property of the company, promises of the past have rarely been realized.
In that vein, our first job within the company is to establish a commitment to credibility, transparency and results. Second is for us to develop some operational clarity, so that we can identify the true challenges facing the company, then build a strategic plan that will produce the results we all expect. These tasks - and many, many others - are all currently in progress, and I expect you will begin to see some concrete results over the next month or two.
What this means to you as a shareholder is that we won't be issuing press releases touting things that *may* happen in an attempt to create short term interest. What we do intend to do is get this ship moving in the right direction, as quickly as possible, as thoroughly as possible, then publish relevant information about those milestones that have already been achieved. We believe this is critical to re-establishing the credibility of the company. All the while we'll be working harder to connect with our existing shareholders, not only to keep you better informed, but because we understand that our shareholders can be one of our greatest assets - by way of support and assistance - if we allow them to be.
We're optimistic - as of course, we wouldn't have accepted Board positions if we weren't. But we hope you'll judge us on the results we achieve, not just the strength of our commitment.

I don't have to tell you (but I will...) that Americhip has a severe public relations crisis with its shareholders. Those of us who have been long term shareholders (my initial investment goes back to November, 2005) are very frustrated. We see what appears to be a useful and valuable technology, but we see the efforts to advance its use are halting, seemingly ineffective, and uncoordinated. Comments on the message boards have made us question whether Americhip will even survive, and a lack of communication on the key issues of strategic direction, marketing focus and concrete results make all of us very fearful that our investment is one small step from being worthless. For my part, I have accumulated quite a number of shares (low 6 figures) in a number of purchases...averaging down as the price of the stock has fallen, all the while believing that it was only a matter of time before the fundamental value of the LACC technology would be realized and that Americhip would have more customers than it could handle. Speaking for myself (I'll let other shareholders weigh in), I'm in ACII for the long haul, but I've got to know that the management of Americhip is working effectively to bring some credibility back to this company. To me, communication is going to be a key part in (re)establishing the reputation of Americhip. No one (I hope) expects to become wealthy on ACII stock in the short term, but a consistent track record of progress toward strategic goals, communicated effectively to shareholders and potential customers alike, will do much to restore confidence in Americhip and the products and services it should provide. Give us that, and you'll find a large group of loyal and expectant shareholders on your side.
