    I don't know the capital structure but as the 8-K says the WTS of Pennsylvania owns a lot of this small company.

    Home Solutions of America Unit Gets $1.3 Million Air Force Contract to Remove Mold From Homes

    DALLAS (AP) -- Home Solutions of America Inc., a provider of specialty residential services, said Monday that its PW Stephens unit received a contract worth more than $1.3 million to remove mold from over 240 homes at Camp Pendleton Air Force base in Southern California.

    "The combination of continued backlog in California coupled with our recent contracts resulting from damage due to the hurricanes in Florida bode well for the 2005 fiscal year," said PWS president Scott Johnson.

    Shares of Home Solutions were up 2 percent, or 3 cents, at $1.50 in afternoon trading on the American Stock Exchange.

    But, Metatron, could you link us to where you found the information that the Watchtower Society of Pennsylvania is a large shareholder in this firm?

    Thanks,

    I have often questioned the wisdom of the WT practise of suggesting that donations are accepted in the form of stock. (If that is what happened here)

    As we saw in the Rand Cam issue. The WT claimed that was a donation , which in that case they say they had never received .

    Supposing they accept shares in a legitimate company, then there is nothing to prevent that firm turning to military contracts or anything else that they are opposed to. I wonder, do they then become full shareholders? Do they have a limit on the number of shares per company so as to prevent them becoming overly involved with a business operation of the "Old world"

    Does anybody have any experience of the Society in this matter?

    I have often questioned the wisdom of the WT practise of suggesting that donations are accepted in the form of stock. (If that is what happened here)

    That would not be the case here BB.

    This is a case of the WT purchasing shares in a company for investment purposes (presumably). These shares were not donated. The odd thing is this is a very small company and would be considered a high risk investment which does not seem like the type of investment which a "charity" would be involved in. I do not see where WT owns a massive share. It appears that their investment was done at a time when the company was in dire need of working capital and also to pay off the following loan:

    In March 2003, the Company borrowed $250 from an affiliate of a stockholder of the Company. The note accrues interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly. The note and accrued interest was paid in July 2004.

    That would be $250,000.00 referred to here. I wonder if perhaps a freind of someone in the WT was worried about not getting their note paid. By the WT making their investment in July '04 the previous outstanding loan was paid out with interest. A few days prior (June 30/04) to the WT making the share purchase investment directly with the comapany, the company also had to borrow 175K more cash for short term working capital. To me this high risk investment smells like a case of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

    And they had the nerve to tell us over the years not to invest money into a failing system. The only system I want to see fall it the WT.
