The financials don't take into account what's happened since 12/31

That's easy - virtually nothing has happened since 12/31 - nothing of note to drive appreciable sales at least, and sales is Margrit's most critical need.

The SA agreement and Bodie settlement are positives.

The SA agreement is scaled down regurgitated bullshit from the 'FINRA reviewed 105 million dollars in contracts' we heard about for months on end. Not a penny has been seen from those supposed contracts, and the latest 'agreement' hasn't yielded dime one either. As for Bodie, we were regaled for more months on end how 'Bodie has no case' - only to have the lawsuit restore Bodie to it's original status. Perhaps a win to get it settled, but that's weak and contributes nothing to SALES - which, again, is the crux of the matter.
