By the way, if you guys are interested in getting corporate information, and you'd need a corporate lawyer to flush out whether this is possible and how to go about it, you might explore the area of shareholder's rights to inspect and copy corporate records. In a general sense, every shareholder is an "owner" of the corporation and has a right to inspect and copy "his" records, to some extent.

There are many subrules and nuances I'm no longer familiar with. I do recall that it would not be a proper purpose to attain shareholder status for the sole purpose of making an inspection, so you would need someone who has had shareholder status for some length of time and has a true business purpose in seeking the information (such as preparing proxy materials and so forth). Just a thought.
