Applied DNA Sciences Inc (APDN)

[2020 hindsight]

Good morning johnsyn,

The link worked for me, but I'll post it again. There is an annoying ad at the beginning, so maybe that's why it looked like it didn't work. (?)

Kurt Jensen used to work for the home building company. He is now the CFO/Chief Accounting Officer/Controller, for Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. In theory, numbers are numbers, and an accountant is an accountant, so the switch from home business accounting to botanical dna accounting doesn't really imply anything to me one way or another.

FYI BTW - I'm posting stuff about the players involved just to try and get a better picture of APDN and the gang they have working for them, as well as the ones they are in bed with so to speak, so that's why the post about ol' Kurt. (and no pun intended by using gang - yet. lol)

Just to throw out a little conspiracy theorizing this morning, I have a feeling that we are involved with something much bigger than any of us realize. I would equate "us" (stock holders who own shares of APDN without knowing any inside information) as a group of flies who have inadvertently landed either inside a rocket ship going to the moon, or on the launch pad underneath the rocket's boosters. When this thing takes off, we are either going to get a free trip to the moon, or get burned into ashes. lol

Kurt Jensen worked for Point of Woods Homes for 23 years after getting his MBA from Copenhagen Business School.

Pretty prestigious overseas schooling...

...to end up at a company with only 10-20 employees having annual sales of less than a million dollars.

There isn't much info to be found on Point of Woods Homes, but I work for a small company with only 6 employees and we bring in close to 2 million in revenue each year. At 500,000 to a million in sales, how many homes do they have to build and sell to reach that? 2? 5? 10? And that's sales, not profits, so deduct costs of materials, labor, overhead for an office for Kurt Jensen and crew, and what does that leave? I don't know, but I would say not much. Definitely not enough to support 10-20 employees. I can't imagine Kurt was making even close to a hundred grand there based on the accessible numbers.

And maybe I'm wrong about even hinting at what I'm hinting at, but Kurt going from a small company that he's worked at for 23 years that seems to have stayed mostly under the internet radar for all that time to APDN making almost $200,000.00 a year, with a whole bunch of stock options, just doesn't compute in my scrambled up brain.

I shall continue my conspiracy theory with the next APDN player I post about later today (hopefully).
