Spoke with Mr. Umbra earlier. He said the offices in Tampa are not being utilized as they outgrew the space before they really could use it.
Currently the fulfillment center and the corp offices are under one roof which apparently poses a problem for security reasons. He was very clear about not allowing outsiders onsite while they were in this phase. He did say that they are in the process of looking for a temporary,stand alone fulfillment center space while they look for a property that would be suitable to purchase and renovate that would house corporate offices, manufacturing (of most products onsite), warehouse and fulfillment space. He said that at that time he would love to have shareholders visit and in fact has plans to do shareholder meetings, video conferencing, town halls and product launches from this new site.
I asked how much is this all going to cost and how the company can afford to purchase what sounds to be a very large property and he said he could not get into specifics at this time but that they already had banking in place. He is very eager to have "everything on one secured site, compartmentalized and under his direct consistent oversight".
I asked about the guns and he said that they are scheduled to be released to police and military only at the end of 2018 with a very limited release to regular folk mid 2019. There is a catch though, he will only allow 100 rifles a year to be sold to us and you must be a shareholder of record to be able to buy one. Oh and the price for regular fellers like us is around $5,000.00 for a UBR and $15,0000.00 for the sniper rifle (comes with scope). I get the feeling that he isnt too keen on selling to anyone but military and police.
I asked about the medical devices and he said that the biotech division is in the process of being launched fully. When I asked what the meant he said that all biotech products are being released starting with Hygieia and will continue through 2019. He did say they already have inventory on most of the products currently on the site with a scheduled release date. He also mentioned that some of the products that were on the old site never went away and that they to are scheduled to be released (the crutch is the one I remember because I saw it personally during my meeting with him years ago).
As for contracts, potential mergers or acquisitions- he wont discuss it with me. Which I expected but it doesnt hurt to ask right?
He did offer to have dinner with a few of us and discuss business. He stressed he would not show favoritism and give us any inside information but he would enjoy meeting with us and felt it would be productive on both sides. He said he would bring a few products with him so we could all see and touch them for ourselves.
