Shareholder FAQ
When will Petz.com be profitable?
Next quarter. We have said this every quarter since 1998, and we will keep saying it until it is true or until we run out of quarters.

Why do you lose money on every order?
Pet food is heavy. Shipping heavy things is expensive. Customers do not like to pay for shipping. Our plan is to lose a little money on a very large number of orders, which our investors assure us will eventually turn into a lot of money. They have not said which direction.

Is the stock a good buy?
We are a pet supply store with a sock for a spokesman. Please talk to a licensed financial advisor, a trusted friend, and possibly your dog before buying any stock, including ours.

Where is the annual meeting?
The 2000 annual meeting will be held at our San Francisco headquarters. Snacks will be provided, at a loss.
