At this time, the merger may not be in the best interest of SKTO. Hipple's name on the AEGY corporate filing is a liability from several points of view. Unless other evidence surfaces contrariwise, there is a distinct possibility Hipple is in violation of an SEC ban barring his participation as an officer of a publicly traded firm until March 2015. In addition to that alarming and potentially calamitous risk, Hipple's name is toxic in financial sectors based on his past dealings. This makes any company he has a direct hand in offputting for investors and a lightning rod for bashers. Futhermore, AEGY has been loaded up with convertible debt by the vultures. A merger with SKTO makes their debt our shared debt. At this time, therefore, I believe the contemplated merger is not in the best interest of SKTO.
