Just look at 2.2/5 Better Business Bureau numbers
Well SOTG & WF11, We have presented facts and numbers related
to 8K's, 10Q's and 10K's as well as pointed out some of the information
related to past products, manager's and the musical chair name game.
The BBB is generally a decent indicator of what people think about the
company. Their BBB score is 2.2 out of 5 ratings. It's a mixed bag of
comments both good and bad - but overall - it's bad.
Besides having no money - they have an awful reputation on customer
service, monthly recurring charges without efficient reviews etc. etc. etc.
Current price 2 cents
Current bid .0106 10K shares
Current ask .0298 10K shares

The AVRW Sera Labs product line has never been more appealing and effective. Everyone can see it here and place orders too:

How is that even possible?
NO $$$$. = NO ADVERTISING = NO SALES
This Company is gasping on fumes!
POM POMS have no shame leading people astray with lies and innuendos.
PURA VIDA!!!
Hoping for a decent new quarter. Growing sales would be encouraging.
Happy Weekend to you too Pura Vida. I think you nailed it. It's all very muddy too. But I don't see ND as left holding the bag really. This was all a game of musical chairs and I think that they knew exactly what they were doing. They were able to cannibalize the assets, the salaries, the business flow, and acquire debt that would be unrecoverable later. Maybe I'm wrong, but look at the track record. Nearly all of their products used OTC ingredients and dressed them up with CBD, or "plant stem cells" or whatever. But most consumers are too sophisticated to buy into this dialog. What startled me was there were a lot of postings about customers unable to cancel their "subscription" and being unable to get customer service to report issues or return the product. The 5 star ratings appeared to be from insiders and bots. It's almost like they never intended to stick around.
Happy Weekend WF11
I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but in one of my past posts I outlined the tangled web that took place when RD met ND and then "acquired" Sera Labs. At that time, there was supposed to be a synergy between the two companies. ND was outsourcing production and was moving more toward CBD related products. RD was working with Canopy Growth (but that deal fell through) and RD also needed to show "revenue" on the books. RD really didn't have ANY products marketed and the thought was that by acquiring Sera Labs - Sera Labs would then utilize the CURE Oxnard facilities for their production etc. Cure then would be showing income/revenue from Sera Lab product sales.
Don't have a lot of time to go into it - but later RD had to give control of Cure/Sera to ND. Later RD (through TF TECH Ventures) bought back the Oxnard Manufacturing facility and employees along with some of the KEY patents. ND and Sera Labs then went on their own way again (but with RD still being Chairman of the Board). Very sordid web has been woven. Quite messy in my opinion - along with the very muddy money trail - I outlined all of this in a LOT of detail in a previous post - but - since I don't have a paid subscription here - I can't easily find it.
Cure - Ionic Ventures, deal to acquire Sera Labs
Ionic Ventures converts notes endlessly - sinks share price - Lawsuit follows
RD/TF Tech Ventures - buys back manufacturing facility and key patents - leaves ND holding the Ionic bag
Sera Labs/Avenir losing money hand over fist - Takes another life-line convertible note debt from 1800 Diagonal
The rest is history still in the making. We'll have to see if BANKRUPTCY or a MIRACLE happens.
I still think it will be BANKRUPTCY with ND somehow getting Sera Labs back again (private).
Pura Vida--the sad tale of another stock hit victim is so familiar. We all need to be much more skeptical of these grand promises and notions by high talkers and I'm not only referring to RD. I'm curious about your comment that Sera Labs had a "CURE plant" that RD bought back from Nancy. I didn't know ND ever owned a plant. I thought that Seralabs outsourced production of product elsewhere and the manufacturing plant in Oxnard was a separate part of CURE's pharmaceutical endeavors which they sold long ago. But even if seralab product was made there, I'm pretty certain ND never owned that plant. Wasn't Seralabs a very small entity from the get go? Why would they own a manufacturing plant?
What about Y/E tax sales? There will be no buyers.
PURA VIDA!!
2 cents bid going to collapse when conversions begin.
WF11, thank you for your kind words about my buddy and his family.
He took a hard hit and died while holding between 80-90K dollars worth
of shares. He kept falling for the Rob Davidson bullshit.
In another post (couldn't find it when briefly looking), I outlined the other
companies that RD has belonged to and the lawsuits that he was also
involved in with those. He really doesn't have a great track record.
I've only been following this to see it go from CURE, to Cure/Sera Labs,
to Avenir Wellness. RD did a good job escaping the IONIC lawsuit by
saddling Nancy and company with both the debt and the lawsuit. Why
he is still Chairman of the Board is beyond me. I have not been able to
find in any filings if Sera Labs is still having the CURE plant that RD bought
back from Nancy and Company along with the patents. Avenir really isn't
very transparent.
I also outlined in a prior post the several iterations that Nancy Duitch herself
has been through. She has changed products several times and finally settled
upon the line that now has Nicole being the ambassador of (to no real benefit of
either her or the product line).
And as you rightfully point out, the director's of the company show on 8K's that they
themselves get fairly high enumeration along with stock awards/options. Doubt they are getting too much these days though - unless the convertible debt loans are just going to pay their wages.
There is so much debt here - I don't know how ANYONE can be bullish or recommend this company to anyone. It's just a matter of time before BANKRUPTCY and Nancy will most likely figure out how to bail it out of BANKRUPTCY and take it private again.
Either way - shareholder's always are the one's who get left empty handed.
Have a great day.
So sorry for your friend and his family. But I have to wonder, are any of the senior officers really left holding any weights? They have all continued to draw significant salaries, benefits, and travel swag, not to mention equities which I am sure they will leverage in some way. I think they ALL knew exactly what they were doing--field stripping the company for quick profits because perhaps they felt the value of those assets was not possible to potentiate. After all, there are hundreds of celebrity adjacent cosmetics and nutriceuticals, and hundreds of pharmaceutical delivery systems, both standard and nano, and there was nothing special about these except for the hype. In fact, I think there was a possible latent toxicity that appeared in people who were using their vitamin strips. I'm not sure what the facts are but I read about postings regarding abnormal labs after even short term usage so maybe there were issues not fully understood.
And he then left Nancy and Shareholder's holding the barbells
as they sink in the quicksand - so sad and aggravating. I still feel
so bad for my friend's family..... he died but it is his family who truly
suffered from it.
How could Rob Davidson not have understood that this deal was going to sink the ship?
Smart people told him prior to the signing of this toxic deal; that it was poison; and he did it anyway. He is solely to blame for the mess this company finds itself in. Quicksand that you can't get out of!!
Pura Vida!!
The "Deal" that sunk the ship.....
10 Million Dollars of Convertible Debt
No Money!! There would have been a negative cash balance had they not raised some VERY dilutive convertible funding right before the books were closed for the quarter.
Sales WAY DOWN quarter to quarter!! Almost approaching no sales!
DEFAULTED DEBT!! NO WAY TO RAISE MONEY.
CROWN JEWEL patents were sold to a Company that Rob Davidson is President of. (AWFUL CONFLICT OF INTEREST)!
They are clearly boxed into a corner with NO WAY OUT!!
PURA VIDA!!!
The company offers quality products promoted through familiar faces. There has to be an upside to this. At the current stock price, this looks like an interesting speculation.
Sadly must agree with Pura Vida. There is zero demand for what they sell--celebrity adjacent cosmetics and supplements are an over saturated market and I was never sure what effect NK could possibly have.. I couldn't honestly find a single positive comment anywhere that wasn't from an "insider" or friend of the company players. I noted a few years ago there were a few posts about people who developed abnormal blood work after using their "strips" so I grew very concerned about what that may bode as well.
10Q on time - but they are BROKE

OUCH
Yes sir, it is GRIM. Hard to believe
the ship has not gone below the surface with as much water
as it has taken on thus far. Just a matter of time until there won't be
any more funds available from the LOAN SHARK.
I still believe BANKRUPTCY is inevitable here without some sort of MIRACLE.
Thanks Pura Vida....it was there. 605K in PPP and 308K used for payroll "liabilities" which is another way of saying employees may have also collected unemployment benefits.....this practice was everywhere. The entire statement is GRIM and that was several years ago.
Potential Buyers of this stock READ THIS FIRST
This company is in major debt. So much so, that at the beginning of the year
they actually borrowed money from the CEO of the company's credit cards.
https://openfilings.com/filing?acc_num=0001477932-24-000136&cik=1643301&exhibit=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1643301/000147793224000136/avrw_ex101.htm
Once they exhausted that route to keep the company afloat, they had to go to a LOAN SHARK company and take out a "CONVERTIBLE" bridge loan dispersed in tranches.
https://contracts.justia.com/companies/cure-pharmaceutical-holding-corp-5232/contract/1289240/
From the "BURN RATE" the company has - it won't be long until that money is depleted, ESPECIALLY
if they are paying back the money owed to the CEO on that probably now defaulted loan.
Look at the dollar amounts - then think to yourself - is this actually a "good" GAMBLE ???
I still say after watching this company go from CURE Pharmaceuticals, to Cure/Sera Labs
to now Avenir Wellness solutions - with major defaulted debt, unaccounted for PPP loans,
defaulted debt in litigation, not enough income to even keep the lights on, and probably the
final nail in the coffin is this 1800 Diagonal "convertible/dilutive" debt, that is, if they can even
sell shares with the very very low daily volume...- BIG TROUBLE. If they can't sell at market prices,
they will drop the price below a penny to recoup their loan money. I've seen it many times with
penny stocks.
BANKRUPTCY without a MIRACLE.

But at this point, it really doesn't matter unless they fudged and someone wants to turn them in.
BANKRUPTCY still in the cards.
Exactly - and I am sure you are aware, that is the same thing they did at the
end of the year. They used the CEO's personal credit cards to get an advance and it just
so happened to be that the "cash on hand" at that time was the exact same amount
as the first tranche of the credit card DEBT.
This baby has been running on FUMES for quite some time, so the latest toxic bridge
financing was no big surprise. CONVERTIBLE NOTES again though - that was a
bit of a surprise to me as it was very similar to the IONIC LOAN that is still in LITIGATION.
BANKRUPTCY LOOMS unless a MIRACLE HAPPENS.
We should see their 2nd quarter financials two weeks from today (unless of course they don't file on time again).
Avenir needed to close their last toxic financing on June 28th so they could show positive cash on the balance sheet at quarters end.
You're correct: The numbers will be BAD and UGLY!!! Facts do matter!!
Pura Vida!!
Speaking of numbers, many companies received loads of PPP money yet their employees still went on unemployment. It was used in "other ways" and I think that was commonly done.. There were three rounds of PPP loans done. The government lists that in just the first round (I haven't looked at the other rounds) of PPP loans, Seralabs got 205K and Cure got 400K of forgiven PPP loans. Nothing wrong with that at all, but what became of it all and was it disclosed as PPP money used for payroll or was it ascribed to sales revenue? I can't find the disclosures in their filings from those years, but that may be entirely my error. Has anyone any accounting of this process? What about the other rounds?
Actually, they shouldn't get paid. They don't post anything of substance.
They post the same old BS company propaganda without any numbers to
back it up. I don't ever see any financials..... well, beyond the one's that show
the company is still losing money hand over fist - but the company of course
sugar coats it and says - less loss than last year.
Company propaganda is just that - BS story telling.
Numbers and Facts - that's what matters.
The numbers are BAD
The facts are UGLY

With regard to NK, look in the broader media to find your answer. NK is famous, but not admired. She's successful, but not for greatness. Consumers are not going to rush to buy anything she claims she loves or uses. Mostly because they assume, probably rightly so, that she uses other interventions. In showbiz, who doesn't have a plastic surgeon or dermatologist on call? Plus she does not CONNECT with the public at all.
OK, Profit Scout, if you are going to keep the pom poms going, then I have to ask. Can you tell me from where comes this "staggering 3 billion in revenue"? What "cutting edge marketing"? I'm curious now. Maybe I'm wrong, but in harder terms all I see are items of litigation, bankruptcy, FDA slaps, loads of customer consumer complaints, a failed novelty item with losses to investors, and a somewhat short term employment or association with a large marketing firm. Is this the source of the 3 billion you refer to? Because that would not be hers alone to claim....so what am I missing here? Continued high pay and benefits despite a failing company seem to be the theme here. Please enlighten. The internet is full of misinformation.
