Three case entries recently filed under the name of Christopher Fowler are showing up on PACER in the Florida Jurisdiction, not sure if it's Eric's son or not.
Did anyone ever get clarification of his middle name?
Maybe this is the reason behind the PPS increase.
Okie, Dokie ~ If that's what you'd like.
But it's not a Pizza place, it supplies to the dispensaries in the LA area, you might want to give the article a quick once over again.
I'm glad you like where the company is headed, but the PPS has been heading down and you can't like that... can you?
I'm not trying to be negative here, but sheeeesh, come on already!!!!
Click on the link I posted, it's totally geared to the MMJ side of this.
Better yet, I'll just post it below for you so you don't have to go back.
L.A.’s Stoned Pizza Is Exactly What It Sounds Like
Yes, it’s true — weed-infused pizza has made its way to Los Angeles. Billing itself as “smoke-free pain relief,” Stoned Oven Gourmet Medibles is now selling frozen pizzas containing THC to several dispensaries throughout the Los Angeles area.
Available for $10 each, according to LA Weekly, each pizza is made with 250 mg of “ethanol-extracted THC concentrate from an indica-dominant hybrid strain.” Although L.A. city law prevents anyone from eating the pizza on site, some dispensaries will cook it for their customers. (In my sordid imagination, the smell of the pizza wafting out onto the street will lead to some very confusing feelings in people who are pro-pizza but anti-marijuana.)
The six-inch personal pizzas are netting Stoned Oven owner Henry Mark about $20,000-$30,000 a week, says Eater; not too bad for a 24-year-old who only opened his business this year.
Mark has reportedly been working in dispensaries since he was 17, and spent four months developing the recipes for some of his new pizzas. “You cannot taste one bit of marijuana in there,” he tells LA Weekly, adding that he plans to expand Stoned Oven into the wholesale business, among other things — including a line of pizzas intended to ease pain and treat diseases like cancer without causing a traditional high.
For those not up on their California medical marijuana laws, it has been legal since 1996 for patients to possess and grow marijuana for personal medical use, as long as they have the approval of a doctor licensed in the state. The state itself does not legally allow dispensaries, but some cities regulate them locally.
Pizza is apparently a hot property in the medical marijuana world; recently, Vancouver’s Mega Ill café began serving pizza topped with a marijuana-infused sauce and ground weed buds. Owned by cancer survivors, Mega Ill is another venture that aims for creative and delicious ways to help cancer sufferers find relief.
Since, as Mark puts it, “Everyone loves pizza,” it looks like these businesses have only just begun to boom.
Here's an idea for SLNX to consider getting into since they already have the restaurant experience and the vote in Florida is for this November ~

"Navigating Through The Darkness A mid-year review of GrowLife closes the gap to make 2014 a record revenue year"
We just wrapped up our filings for the second quarter of 2014, and my response to the question “how did the Company do?” often comes as a surprise. GrowLife is on pace to set another record year in 2014, and may even reach profitability as early as Q4.
That’s right?—?record revenue growth and profitability. Despite our challenges in 2014, GrowLife had strong revenue growth, lean operational expenses and consistently good gross margins in the second quarter.
In fact, sales in Q2 2014 were up 159% year-over-year, cash used for operations for Q2 was $438,000 compared to $1,130,000 in Q1, and maintains 22% gross margin year to date. These numbers pushed our sales for the first half of the year to represent 95% of all 2013 revenue, and our $1 million in gross margins surpassed all of 2013 margin dollars.
But before we get too excited, we have some obstacles to overcome in order to finish 2014 strong. GrowLife is dealing with two gating challenges: shareholder litigation and the lack of open trading due to the absence of a market maker. While we are actively navigating through these challenges, we cannot openly discuss the details. However, there are some other questions that we can discuss. Why is the stock price trading under a dime, if we have such strong revenues? Or, why are we not profitable yet? And, when will GrowLife move from the gray market?
First, the stock price finds its place from investors who value shares based on many factors such as growth confidence, trading liquidity and financial metrics. Our financial strategy consists of efficiently using cash, maximizing gross margins, and reaching critical mass in revenue that will lead to profitability, positive cash flow and expansion capital from investors. We are close to optimizing our cash utilization, we will increase our gross margins as volume and terms with suppliers improve, we have many serious long investors, and, given market demand, we have room to increase revenue. Management will continue to do its part in the second half of the year.
Next, we see profitability, not as a math problem but as a set of strategic moves consisting of vision, action and spending decisions. Setting a clear and compelling vision will direct the Company’s future; our actions must be well-executed tactics framed with pace and conviction; and, spending decisions define how we choose to use our capital resources. Making simplistic spending cuts too fast or too deep may break what got us this far. In Q2, we set our vision to revolve around customers; we took decisive financial action, and began to pick up our pace by serving more customers in more markets.
Lastly, to move off the gray market, we need to work with broker-dealers and many attorneys that we expect will lead us to a constructive relationship with FINRA and the SEC. Without a transparent and compliant financial track record, any attempt to move from the grays would have been premature and ineffective. Today, we are actively in discussions with some broker-dealers and they are conducting a due diligence process and seeking FINRA support. The process is expensive for the broker-dealer and time consuming for all. Still, we are taking every step to work through the litigation and gray market challenges.
GrowLife has decisively moved towards strengthening and stabilizing our financial controls to sustain the business for the long term. We’ve made some significant strides as shown in our Q2 2014 filing, but one quarter doesn’t make a trend. The trend we need for this Company is healthy, progressive financial performance, which you can expect from this management team.
Looking at the second half of 2014, I see the better half of a defining year not only for GrowLife, but for our industry. We will move out of the darkness of doubt and recognize that we can successfully navigate to the other side. I see these changes addressing many federal and state conflicts because when the nation speaks, the government listens.
I also see banking institutions and conflicting federal policies starting to find their center. GrowLife as well as many other companies are moving from early-stage incubation to expansion and stability. My conversations with other business leaders in our industry have been constructive and collaborative. We are willing to work together with the government to set reasonable and compliant policies. As for GrowLife, we have a strategy that supports the healthy growth of the entire industry.
The real challenge of navigating through the darkness is maintaining a vision that takes us from where we are today to where the industry is needed tomorrow. GrowLife’s vision represents more than financials, more than just lifting the bottom line and stock price. We are a Company that is modernizing farming in America with many of our customers aiding in the production of alternative medication for struggling patients. Our country is having open discussions about an industry that once operated in the shadows, and even with its awkwardness, our nation is practicing compassion with responsible conversations rather than polarizing arguments.
And, we have a seat at the table.

Anyone know Eric and/or Chris Fowler's middle name or initial? It would be much easier to search the court records/filings with this information.
Thanks ~

Here's the latest CWIR info link to Hackpad
Well get on it guys !!!! Lynn University and FAU are right around the corner from their office.
Ok... chop, chop !!!
While the letter is very good and explains a lot... I'm pretty much lovin' the "Take No Prisoner's" attitude from the company.
I wonder if they will be able to throw punitive damages in there too... now wouldn't THAT be something???
Duuuuhhhh, I know!!! I'm a woman... that's what we do ~ LOL
Sure, no problem......
Ok, here's the deal.... ya'll ask me the questions and I'll put it on my list of things to talk about next time I'm over there.
And I'm WARNING you guys now... if you don't send over the questions and they don't get asked or answered because you didn't let me know... I don't want to hear no whiny, crybaby tears about how I let you down..... DEAL?????
You guys can be BRUTAL sometimes... sheeeesh !!!
Personally, I think y'all are just jealous of my hat ~ LOL
Ohhh and before I forget... during my adventures out and about in Miami today, I stopped to get some gas.. and low and behold, look what I just happen to see at the Valero Gas station...
Now pay attention all you shutter bugs that keep giving me grief ~ LOL
I asked the clerk inside where they were located and she pointed at a particular cooler to show me... I couldn't find them and she again said... "Well they were right there, we must have run out of them.... Sorry" ( No problemooooo my friend, this is actually good news)... she assured me that she would bring it to the manager's attention if he wasn't already aware of it to make sure they were stocked the next time I stopped in.
I've been out all day so I don't know if anyone saw this on their website or posted it yet so if it's duplicated, I apologize in advance ~

On sight visit update ~
Ok, guys ~
I just came back from visiting with Ralph and Mel and I am happy to announce that it's business as usual... nobody is closing up shop. In fact, they seemed to be working double time.... They were both on the phones when I walked in.. both cell and land lines so they were multi tasking pretty well in my opinion.
They did elude to the fact that all of this will make sense very soon regarding upcoming events that will be happening.... guess we will have to wait and see for now.... but it didn't sound like it was a bad thing one bit.
Mel did say that they will still be reporting as I suspected from one of my last post.
Nooooooooo I didn't take any pictures... so for all of you that want to give me crap about it... just give it a rest already !!!! Sheeeeeesh!!!!
Ok, that's all for now.
Still very happy with the company... probably even more so with this my second visit.
Saving a cool Million.....???? Nice !!!
So maybe it's not sounding so crazy after all is it.
They are still going to have to file balance sheets, letters from attorney's etc... so it's not really all that big of a deal as many of you have made it out to be on this board.
This is the pinks for goodness sake what did you think you were buying CAT, DE or Apple with a ton of PRs, shareholder meetings, filings and Analyst upgrades, downgrades or neutrals?
If this is what you had in mind... you're playing in the wrong sandbox my friend.
Agreed
You need a NEW BOOK!!!!
Have you ever owned a Federally regulated company? Do you even have a clue how much these filings cost? Well I'm here to tell you the cost is RIDICULOUS and I'm not even going to mention the enormous time involved.
For smaller companies this can be overwhelming, exhausting and lead to an ultimate demise.
So what you're going to have to do a little more DD.... but wouldn't you prefer that rather than the company throwing unnecessary money away that can go toward building shareholder value?
Others say the move makes sense given the number of firms that now struggle with costly requirements to certify financial results and assess internal controls. Mr. Magill says going dark "is not a nefarious plot" to blind shareholders, but a way to save them money and retain their stake in the company. He estimates a smaller firm might save more than $1 million a year by going dark.

Some executives say the cost savings are a big benefit. "I think it was one of the best moves we've made," says Terry Babilla, general counsel and chief operating officer at Dallas-based Sport Supply Group Inc., GE -0.93% whose stock is up since going dark last year. Sport Supply's stock fell under $1 on the news but bounced back toward $3, a level Mr. Babilla says it wouldn't have reached without going dark.
Nice to see VFIN gone this morning!!!!
We should start moving up now.

Good Grief... VFIN needs to go play in another sandbox for a little while...LOL
Could this be the reason you're not receiving any email or phone responses? Are you still trying to contact Eric as you previously mentioned?
DNA Brands, Inc. Names New Interim President and CEO
Try one of the other emails or phone numbers at the bottom of that PR.
Well, I will confirm when I was there yesterday, the phones were ringing and they were definitely being answered.
My eyes get screwy too... but you should always add three (000) to all of them ~ hence the "k"
So it should be:
10k + 3= 10,000
200k + 3 = 200,000
1200k + 3 = 1,200,000
And so on....
Personally, I think after the past couple of days, VFIN, should be adding a freakin' "e" after theirs ~ (just kidding, we don't have that many O/S ~ LOL)
But that's ok... once VFIN is finally finished, he will be over on the bid side buying.
Unfortunately, they do not have to show their "entire hand" on L2... that's why you will see so many trades going off that you would think would take him out and it doesn't. Retail MM's like Etrade, Ameritrade etc. are more prone to show their complete hand.
Take a look at this quick video and you'll see what I mean... VFIN is first on the ask and even though he's showing 10k, the trades are going off like he has a bottomless pit full of them.
Always be wary of the MM's that are showing only 10k.
No, and I didn't ask.
It was my initial trip to the company so it was more of a meet and greet type of thing.
I did not give them a heads up that I was stopping by or anything because I wanted to see them in action going about their daily routine.
VFIN is a notorious shorter.... with that being said... one good thing about those that are short, eventually they are going to be guaranteed buyers. This could cause a squeeze and well, we've all seen how rapidly a stock shoots up when it's being squeezed.

OK integral... I'm pretty sure you know exactly what point I am trying to make here.... sooooo this is the part where I am going to politely say "thank you" for the information you've posted and discontinue this discussion.
Simple question.
Are they currently required to file audited financials?
