SOMETHING BIG IS BREWING AND ITS NOT GOOD FOR FRAUDSTERS SCHWARTZ AND BERSHAN. VERY BIG!
$20K Sales/quarter, negative gross margin, $800K In quarterly loss, 164 Million shares Of stock to mystery consultants is the reason the PPS is down. Not anything else. then they had the excuse that "our forming machine is down, so we couldn't ship" and "3 days of production are needed to satisfy "past and future demand" have nothing to do with the PPS being low. What will the next excuse be? we ran out of gas,a friend came in from out of town or I though it was tomorrow?
Barry/Lisa screwed many investors and vendors in addition to past employees. Please show evidence that ex employees are the bashers and not former investors or vendors. Please show proof that your "DD" is not just the excuse of the day from AAPT.
Only a $522 order even if they shipped 3 boxes to each of 25 stores claimed. Nobody should get excited over that, especially with a laughable negative gross margin cause by a forming machine that got a flat tire. LMAO
Noone has confirmed that barz were at Tractors or if any were purchased by customers. If they were shipped, the barz are sitting on a Tractors shelf collecting dust, just like at Walmart. Will Tractors cut the price also if they are not moving there? have they cut the price already.
Are NutraBars selling at Tractors? Can anyone check a Tractor supply location to see if they are there and better yet, if any have sold.
Johnathan Schwartz wages stiffed by Barry/Dad, unpaid wages claims increasing. What a greedy scumbag loser is Barry Schwartz.
Johnathan Schwartz wages stiffed by Barry/Dad, unpaid wages claims growing. What kinda of father/person would stiff their own son for wages. What a total greedy scumbag loser you are Barry Schwartz.
164million shares to dummy/she'll corps for fraudsters Schwartz/Bershan to sell and profit at shareholders detriment. It was done in 2010, read the 10 k. Standard Schwartz fraud play book at work.
Don't believe the APT bullsheet, They have lied and disappointed us before and they will do it again. $750k salary is 25pct of all money raised in 2012. AAPT is in deep doo doo with the IRS and other tax agencies. Nutrabars are not selling and margins are shrinking. News of Chewies and new customers have not happened. We have been scammed.
Joel, put out a press release if true. It seems implausible to me. Breaking news on hub boards is very suspicious, especially when the numbers do not pencil out.
Doing the math, if $20K was revenue for 2nd quarter, then 1,600 Boxes of 12 bars were sold to Walmart. If each box went to 1 of the 1,400 Walmart locations claimed to have stock. If these boxes do not get emptied (purchased by consumers), then WM will not be ordering many more boxes of Nutra bars. The price cut scares me. It tells me that Nuta Bars aren't selling, and that means reorders are not going to happen until the old inventory is cleared out. Walmart is already losing gross margin from the price cut and that will not excit store buyers come reorder time.
Don't you wish management spent $300K on the Point of Sale advertising at WM instead of their own bonus? Come on, be honest.
Was $20K in sales acceptable? Do you think sales will be better in 3rd Qarter? Will gross margin be positive? How much salary will fraudsters B&L take in 2013? Please give us your predictions.
300% increase needed to get even after 67% decline. 100% increase needed to get even after 50% drop. Those are the % increases you need to B/E if you bought at $0.014 or $0.01. SMART INVESTORS would not be in this situation. Many AAPT investors are in this unprobable road to break even. The biggest problem is management enriches themselves right in everyones face and no one does anything about it.
SMART INVESTORS got out over $0.002. Smart, but less smart investors got out above $0.001. Please give some reasons why today's investors should buy AAPT now or provide reasons supporting your statements that AAPT is going up. I am open to an honest, respectful and inteligent debate with you (to the extent of my posting limit).
You said "Incompetent management" and I agree with that. You have never peaked at my portfolio, so you can't know what I own and what I dont. No credibility to that weak accusation. Speaking of credibility, shall we go over your 2013 Predictions for AAPT's PPS? They have been horrible.
Silly is when you crucify AAPT's management incompetence for more than a year in dozens of posts, then you say the management walks on water. Unless the change was a religious experience, a bizarre flip flop occurred which hasn't been explained.
Who said I didn't own shares of AAPT? Not me.
Shareholder activists can change companies for the better. I want Board Independence from management. I want management to be accountable for their actions. I want an audit committee to set management compensation and assure that personal expenses are not charged to the Company. I want to vote at an annual shareholder meeting at least once a year. I want this company to be better. Aaccepting the status quo hasnt worked from investors since the day they went public. Only the Board Officers beneifitted. These individuals owned less than 5% of the Company before that self interested GRID deal, which is dubious in itself. I ask the AAPT investors to Join with me in becomming a shareholder activist and pursuing an agenda that will lead to the bettterment of AAPT.
The dead cat bounce is ending today. Probable decline to 12 month lows by Friday the 13th
The WM discount will not increase awareness of Nutrabars. Consumers never heard of them and haven't noticed them while they are sitting on the self at $1,22 and they still won't try them at $0.08. AAPT needs to do POint of sale advertising and other marketing to get those sales techniques in place. However, AAPT spent is assets on the directors life style and unwarranted bonuses, Not they do not have money for point of sale and other marketing. Repeat customers have to deal with the smell on your hands after breaking off a piece of bar which is a negative aspect of the product and they also prefer to use pars when doing a long trip with their dog, which is not very frequent for most consumers. Great product with bad executin by management.

Total nonsense, money laundering at star queens was 2012 and earlier. Grid loan not funded till 2013". That story will not stand up in court.
The price cut shows Barz not selling. So does all of the extra stock in your area. We have already saturated the AAPT investor market. We need sales from non AAPT investors. The problem is the public knows nothing about Nutrabars. Only AaPT investors know about them. Management could have spent $300K on marketing and advertising, but they chose to give themselves bonuses instead. Not a good use of shareholder money. I have told all my friends and neighbors and even strangers about Barz already. There is only one WM in our area that has NBs and its kinda out of the way and in a bad neighborhood. the friends and neighbors that have tried them say their dog loved it, but its too expensive to buy as a primary dog food. If they go on a long trip with their dogs, they would buy Barz, but that doesn't happen very often. A lot of people also told me they do not like the way their hands smell after feeding their dog a square and it doesnt wash away easily. I like your enthusiasm, but your post pointed out more about what is wrong with AAPT and NBs that what is right.
10 year learning curve excuse is laughable. Management should have learned everything they needed to know during one of the prior product launch failures. The AAPT officers/directors learned a long time ago that they can make false promises in order to sell more PP shares and finance their lavish lifestyle.
AAPT on news blackout, nothing good to report, period. If there was any good news, the pumpers would pump it out on this board. The fact is there is no good news. Investors have been fleeced. Management is to blame for the lies and broken promises that were exposed by reality and brought this POS down. $20K in sales! OMG, are you kidding me. Well below what we were promised. They told us "Everything is fine" was told to us while the forming machine had broke down and nothing was being shipped.
Nutrabars not selling, Pawtizer failed, PPS down on reality that sales will not impress. Dilution will outpace sales growth.
Inside info leaked. AAPT the Humpty Dumpty of penny stocks.
AAPT hired a notorious scam pumper to tout this POS. every one is welcome to comment even if they pumped on boards of company's that were proven to be true scams like sponge tech
Thanks. The Management has fleeced shareholders like me too long. Do you have pit bulls too?
CHILDREN out selling AAPT sales force. Probably could happen. too funny. 16 salesmen, $20k sales. What will they do with all those commissions? You probably came up with a better marketing plan that AAPT management ever could do. Actually, the Girl Scouts is too complicated for them. Think of something they actually could execute.
Business plan failure, products not selling. $20k sales is a colossal failure. Pawtizer sales zero. Need I say more
preferred stockholders sued AAPT won $800,000, promissory note holder sued AAPT won $1.2 million, 7 former employees sued AAPT won $325,000, numerous vendors sued AAPT and won $500,000. AAPT has never won anything in a lawsuit.
Meeting at Beverly Hills resturant just Barry/Lisa attending. No different to any other day
Oversight at AAPT is a farce: From 10K "The Company’s Board of Directors does not adequately provide management oversight and accountability. "
"The Company’s Board of Directors is presently comprised of only two individuals and they are also the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Furthermore, these two individuals are husband and wife. As a result of this corporate structure, the Board of Directors is not independent of management, and therefore, has no ability to oversee management’s financial and operational performance and hold management accountable for the achievement of the Company’s goals and objectives. "
Try finding something this ridiculous in AAPL's 10K. Enough with the silly comparisons.
Denials confirm a reverse split will happen soon.
Directors can/will change rules to benefit themselves
Wondering what recent PP investors were told about 2Q. Did they know sales would be only $20K? Did they know the forming machine wasn't functioning? I guarantee the fraudsters Schwartz and Bershan knew these material facts at the time they sold those restricted shares. What are these PP investors thinking now that the stock has plunged to 1/2 their purchase price.
Prediction#1: AAPT begins to release less and less written information over time. Calls to Company personel, while already suspect, will yield no useful data. The 10Q for third quarter will probalby be late also if sales are not impressive. Since the truth is not good for APT's private placement share selling efforts, less and less truthful information will be released, as if that is possible.
Agree kngmAzz. Incompetent management, but scam is up for debate
