Hire an actual salesperson, take it private or pay a dividend. If their products work, their sales should be much higher. Should be closer to $1m/wk, not $1m/yr. Over 40% owned by insiders. Why not take it private for cheap? $.02/yr dividend = $81,000/yr and with the current stock price, that is a decent percentage return. That would stabilize the price at $1+.
Looks like they may need that $81,000 for production and payroll. Makes sense, but what is the actual backlog $ amount?
As a result of an increase in orders, the company is exploring significant improvements in its production line to boost capacity.
The company has recruited more employees in recent months and almost doubled its manpower. No additional personnel are expected at this time.
Total of 18 employees, 15 of them in full-time.
How do they pay 15 full time and 3 part time employees on $1.4m in revenue? I guess shareholders know that nobody is overpaid at Identa.
