I started thinking some real far fetched connect the dots theories and just posted this theory on FB. I recognize it is way out there but, please think it through along with all that has and is continuing to happen.
OK, I have really stretched this one out on a limb. Kona's HighDrate and Storm lines are based on Alkame patented technology and, let's face it, for the capacity required to produce all the HighDrate and Storm should Kona have some overnight exponential growth, ALKM could not handle it on their own.
Kona recently inked a 5 year deal with ALKM for them to continue producing the HighDrate and Storm lines. One key property for these drinks is the Alkame patented water processes.
Suddenly out of the blue, a mystery company has come on the scene to foot the cost of a large new facility. Kona continues to stand by its revenue projections for this year and we know that Clark has traditionally been conservative about his predictions and, some of us are talking about the significant potential ties between Kona and Anheuser Busch who just lost Bang to Pepsi. Kona has just increased their Authorized Shares significantly.
Now we connect the dots, so to speak. AB buys an interest in Kona to have a vested long term interest in the energy drink sector. That accounts for the additional Authorized Share increase of Kona. AB also buys and for all intents and purposes owns the equipment that ALKM is setting up for a new customer so ALKM, who refuses to sell or license their Alkame Water patents, for the purpose of producing all of the new HighDrate and Storm product needed to supply inventory for all the new AB Distributors due to the new connections between Kona and Anheuser Busch. ALKM, in effect just manages this facility for AB. This could also explain ALKM suddenly talking about audited fins - a term of the deal with AB.
AB nor Kona could produce the existing HighDrate and Storm product lines on their own without the Alkame patent processes but need to insure that the capability of continuing to stock the shelves that all the AB Distributors would require to keep up. AB also has the inroads with major retailers to "buy" the shelf space required.
I know this is a real reach on my part but if we all think it through with what has been transpiring in recent months for ALKM and Kona, if ALKM refused to give up their Alkame patents, they may have just positioned themselves to be a major part of this whole venture.
Sorry to be so long winded but the only way I could explain it all to sufficiently put the puzzle pieces together.
