At today's hearing of the Tribunal of Commerce in Paris a judgment was rendered declaring Pretory, S.A. in bankruptcy and appointing a receiver. The process finally will now begin to transfer Thendic-France's assets to Genesi SARL.
Our situation with Pretory S.A. has been a long and difficult one. In all matters we have cooperated with the French Government and agreed to close the Company in a coordinated and proper manner. Time will demonstrate that we have behaved properly and legally in all respects as shareholders and managers.
In no way will these matters effect Genesi. Finally, we are personally free to devote the time and resources we want to the Genesi.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

| Thendic-France : Comment 124 of 161 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by bbrv on 19-Nov-2003 14:58 GMT | Hi Damien, you did send your email to our personal email address just like everyone else can. Even though you have decided to not allow others to communicate directly with you, you have at least decided to put a name to your post. Thank you. It is nice to know now that you are the same person who did this in March. Remember that discussion? :-)
We are not really sure why you feel compelled to do this or why we feel compelled to answer. Perhaps, it is because in France as we told a Liberation journalist this morning:
Dear XXXXXXXXXX, <snip> The problem is that EVEN our French friends do not trust the French media and feel that you would distort the information for your purposes. The issues here are much bigger than Pretory. You know that. As such this matter cannot be settled in the Press. This has and will become a "political" matter. Unfortunately, to continue to keep the business running was to fight against a system that would not allow us to survive once we made the changes to run the Company properly and in a legally correct manner.
I will say this -- there were many outstanding employees in Pretory. They worked hard and they performed their duties well. They do not deserve what has happened to them. A few have taken from all. I believe in the French Republic and I believe through the legal process that the full details of this matter will be ultimately exposed and a proper accounting and judgment will be rendered.
How I wish I could tell you more! You are a persistent guy.
Sincerely,
Bill
===========
We hope Damien that reading this email will somehow make you feel vindicated. How is that for disclosure!? You cannot say we are not "open." :-)
On to your other comments...
1. About Garry Hare -- you are seriously misinformed. Everything we ever said about Garry Hare was 100% correct. Read the trail of announcements/discussion from the other "side" if you doubt that. Further, there are absolutely no lawsuits that involve Garry Hare. Garry Hare is a professional, a nice person and a smart guy. Further, there are no other lawsuits that involve us and Amiga Inc. other than the one that *may* or may not be settled this week. If fact, this is the only lawsuit that we are involved in today outside of France (in the WHOLE world!). The ones we have filed in France concern the affairs of Pretory. Somebody is feeding you line...
2. Intent does exist. It is a very interesting product and Tao is a capable and interesting Company. We hope to be having a nice chat with Francis Charig soon. What Amiga DE is on top of Intent? We do not know. It seems you have first hand experience. Great! The Pegasos may be the first commercial platform that bundles Amiga DE. Would you like to continue to develop for it? We are making a handheld of the Pegasos. If you think about the Pegasos as a development machine and the multiple operating systems running on it there may actually be a future for the effort expended to date. We hope so.
3. You posted the same link months ago. You never came by to visit us and only now you have posted your name. You sound like a decent guy at heart, but you have listened and believed too many rumors about us. Judge us by what we have done and by what we do. In a matter such as Pretory only the legal system of the French Government has a chance to understand and expose the truth about all this. Why not give you heart a rest and use your head? There is no smoking gun here.
Actually, Le Canard Echaine is pretty funny sometimes, forgetting it's social far left leaning tendencies. There were a couple of other articles too, including one in the Parisian, but it was brief and the focus was Air France.
Finally, in response to your second email we just received, please read Comment #88 and others above. Amiga Inc. did to itself what could not be done by another.
Sincerely, and we hope in conclusion for now,
R&B
