Dear Shareholder and/or Friend of Zion...
  

Isaiah 12:6 – “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:  for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.”
 
Rights Offering

The rights offering was originally scheduled to expire on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, however, on that day, we announced that we were extending the rights offering by fourteen days, to Wednesday, June 24, 2009.

The preliminary outcome of Zion's rights offering, as of the close of business on June 10, 2009, indicated a total subscription of approximately 3.6 million shares (including over-subscription) for gross proceeds of approximately $18 million.

As noted in our press release announcing the extension, “We were very pleased that the response to the stock rights offering has been so positive, but some stockholders may have experienced a delay in receiving their subscription materials, so we thought it appropriate to extend the deadline for the rights offering, in order to give all of our shareholders adequate time in which to participate."

So, everyone who was a stockholder on the record date of May 4, 2009, can still exercise their rights and purchase Zion stock at $5.00 per share of stock or even consider an over-subscription.

If you have not yet exercised your rights or want to oversubscribe, now is the time to act!
 
Exodus 25:2;      Job 8:7

Thank you for your continued prayers and financial support of Zion, and
 
Shalom from Texas
