Who cares? Well, all of those elements have significant impact on value. What you should be applying the who cares question to is who cares if they sell a full container of cases for $217,000 and have expenses of $600,000? Who cares if they have a $400,000 loss so far for the year and $2 million in liabilities and zero inventory on hand and no cash? You should care about this as a shareholder, as part of a group of shareholders that has put 100% trust in executive management telling you, not showing you, excellent cash flow and profitability. The fact would not appear to support those statements. We've all looked at the fundamentals and basically the formulae show that Marani needs to sell at least two containers a month to stay afloat, probably more. Having shipped and sold only one container in six months and getting a windfall on half a container they basically got for free on the losing backs of 2009 investors I'd say all of the questions on financing operations you pose are pretty damned important. Just answer me this question... If they shipped one container with a gross sales value of $217,000 in six months and they're burning $100,000 a month in expenses, how can they survive or should I ask how are they surviving? There's no profit, $2M in payables, tax burden and the need to reorder from the distillery. Something is simply not right with this picture. The cash flow that management is vapor and the facts do not support any possibility of its validity. Am I calling her a liar? No, but I'm getting close because she's so cagey with all of her responses and she never throws out any real numbers like real public company executives do. She's pur everybody in a position for looking for guidance saying things are "good". Money is "good". Orders are "good". Inventory is "good". What's good? Publish some real audited numbers Marani and stop double talking.
