"Effective Monday, July 31, 2000 Artis Incorporated and Aleene's Creative Living have ceased business operations for an indefinite period of time. While we have been actively working to restore the Company to a healthy financial condition over the last seven months, we have been unable to overcome some critical problems. In addition, we have had to deal with the added burden of our TV show being cancelled effective June 30, 2000 and the serious business issues related to that action." |
