If Tony's a liar, I'd like to hear this directly from Ross and Lena (the brewery, not the village).
$APRU
If the Elev8 deal fell through, why did…….
Tony say the acquisition was completed?
It’s simple, he a LIAR.
Owners of a brewery are public info. Toni nor APRU is listed as the owners, which means Lena is NOT a subsidiary of Apple Rush.
I have said repeatedly, the only dealings with Lena are limited, otherwise it would be ILLEGAL. That’s a FACT. Do some basic research.
Apple Rush (the TX Corp) is selling cans to someone who is having those cans filled at Lena.
Apple Rush cannot conduct business in Illinois until they resolve their registration, which has been REVOKED for over a decade.
Humor us and reach out to the Village of Lena and have them put in writing that Apple Rush acquired Lena. Or post public documents proving they do.
They put in writing and I shared the contact info that Lena told them they were NOT SELLING Lena to Apple Rush.
I reached out to Tony before reaching out to them.
Tony is a LIAR. One day the light will come on, but I look forward to you proving me wrong.
BTW….there is one exception, owners of less than 5% don’t have to be part of the licensing process. Of course Tony claimed the $755K and assuming debt would make them a WHOLLY OWNED subsidiary, didn’t he?
He also said the transfer of ownership required government approval.
That would be the Village of Lena and the state.
If they’re buying the Lena brands, that would include the Feds.
Not sure KGKG will go anywhere but if APRU is just canning for them so it's nice income as long as they are around.
I know Apple Rush is the product that attracted a lot of investors in the early days but, as Tony mentioned on that Twitter interview, the drinks with active ingredients like CBD or Kratom have 10x better margins.
Why would I not know what subsidiary means? 😂
The Elev8 deal fell through, which wasn't difficult info to find out.
So I'll humor you. I've reached out to Lena, even though I really shouldn't because it's wasting people's time.
So do you think all the photos were staged with the production equipment being delivered and set up at Lena? I don't think it's disputed that APRU and Lena are working together, and if so, why isn't Lena screaming about Tony's press releases claiming that Lena is a subsidiary of APRU? These are public press releases, so you would think if they were wrong, the other party would have some sort of response, right?
I can't wait till this breaks out. Going to be fun at a nickel
You claimed Tony didn’t LIE about Lena……
yet haven’t produced one shred of evidence to support that claim.
At least you qualified your post by saying it's your opinion. Thanks for sharing.
$APRU
in my opinion kgkg is a bad idea that company going no where ,lena if apru is a part of that ballon company why are the not including in any pr or statements ,Tony needs to do better in regards to keeping investors informed on outstanding and present deals ,where did jason the utube and promoter go ,what has all the other people that are spokes personal doing for apru ,what has all the people had done to get shares issued to them for services ,,(WHAT),disclose things tony... I invested because product was tangible hold ,drink ,product was great ,the org juices go back to roots build up and expand from there ,how many companys has apru aquired in past years ,, thought for today..
Dude’s share count doesn’t even add up to one thousand. Just a group of old, bored people complaining ad nauseum..
Do you know what subsidiary means? Did you……
reach out to the Village of Lena and ask who owned Lena?
If so, what did they say?
APRU supposedly bought Elev8, but that was bullshit.
As was Q1 2021 sales of $1.8MM.
Tony was going to pick up the check and close on the deal back in Aug 2022.
He’s a serial liar. Fact check the dude.
Whatever dealings they have with Lena it’s limited at best. Apple Rush isn’t even allowed to transact business in Illinois. Basic DD shows that.
A customer wouldn’t be interested in Mitra 9?………
A customer wouldn’t be interested in the “alleged” new ownership you’re touting?
If you think the customers of a local brewery wouldn’t be interested, well…..
At the risk of being deleted.....why are you still here? Seems like an easy question.
I own shares so I share good news. If it's bad news and I've lost faith in the CEO, I go all crazy and do this weird thing where I like... sell the shares that I own.
What I don't understand is why someone would actively own millions/billions of shares in a company and then publicly talk down the stock based on phantom negativity.
This is what I would call bizzaro world investing.
Lena's social media is geared for customers, so I don't know why they would mention APRU until something customer-facing changes (i.e. new APRU offering)
https://www.facebook.com/lenabrewingcompany
On April 11th, not even two weeks ago, Lena was referred to as a subsidiary of APRU in their PR.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kona-gold-beverages-apple-rush-145900203.html
Did you also read the letter to investors? This isn't some secret that Lena and APRU are working together.
Do you read the PRs or do you just believe what you read here from those with agendas?
Please explain why you're sticking around then. Thanks.
I think all the water carriers are finally realizing what a going on here
It’s obvious Lena doesn’t mention APRU……
on social media or elsewhere.
This has nothing to do with APRU
Thanks for posting. Great to hear
APRU
I'm assuming this run will be done at Lena as part of the joint venture with Apple Rush:
Kona Gold Beverages, Inc. Prepares for First Production Run Set to Launch May 17, 2024
No idea about stock price, like every money-losing penny stock it moves on hype & sentiment.
However, It looks like this recent spate of borrowing may put a timer on things, perhaps in 1.5 - 2 years the business operations will either succeed or get shut down.
Where do you see the stock price headed
Interesting comment
Have a good weekend guys. I think next week w be a good one.
Ask Grant how many shares he has
Last Q APRU net-borrowed about $2.4m, and sold $0.9m of stock, so $3.3m of cash showed up in its bank accounts.
APRU spent $1.4m on equipment + $0.1m on goodwill (???). APRU also lost $0.6m cash while operating the business. So $2.1m total went out the door last year.
That leaves $1.2m in the bank account, which is much less than the $4.1m in liabilities ($3.3m in debt + $0.8m in deferred salaries)
That's all assuming these books are accurate, which IMO is far from guaranteed. Tony has made million-dollar "mistakes" on his financial reports recently.
With traction and revenue these things trade 10x sometimes more. just sit back and watch it go
Market capitalization $18 million wow
$ million in cash last financials going back a while
Wonder if a buy, would have to investigate, can’t bother
Should have kept up to date with this company
Known this company for a while
I love that this thing is just waiting for news. I love when stocks go quiet. When it pops a $.01 it will go much higher
No worries, took me a few min too :)
Right, that was odd that the COGS went up especially when it hasn't in the past. I'm sure there is more to the story and will more than likely come back down.
In Tony's own words : " With all of the projects and acquisitions we have moving forward in 2024, we believe that we could possibly generate revenues in excess of 20 million dollars per year by mid 2025."
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-rush-company-inc-releases-120000033.html
COGS rose from 37% -> 78%. There's definitely an operations problem when your sales increase 4x and yet your margin is reduced by over 2/3rds. Economy of scale is supposed to RAISE margins.

"We are continually implementing strategic planning and negotiating to reduce our existing outstanding shares in our comprehensive plan to increase shareholder value. We will continually be working to reduce our outstanding shares to reward the investors that have put their faith in us."

"We have been quiet the last couple of months while preparing for the explosive growth plans for Apple Rush in 2020. This growth includes an operational plan
that will expand distribution to the entire country and to several International locations as well. We have spent an enormous amount of time and energy working with our team to build the foundation for the future.” Our new COO, to be officially announced in the near future added, “Charging into 2020 with such a diverse portfolio and on the cusp of such powerful emerging markets, I believe APRU will be making waves and growing significantly as a profitable leader in the world of CPG and CBD."
