Morning, Barunuuk.

In the latest quarterly filing ending Sept 30, 2013, there is some good news. I think. Sales rose ~88% from $111K June 30th, to ~$210K Sept 30th. This is great news, as the cost of sales has remained fairly constant at ~$320K for the quarter and ~$120K for financing).

Good news undoubtedly but lowered losses on its face is - ahh, umm - not what excites the Great Unwashed. If a company calling itself CancerKiller announced that it had proved it could cure all cancers, financial headlines would probably read:

CK losses mount

I remember when for years Amazon was a favorite target of Forbes with constant spoofs of its hopeless and dilusionary efforts to revolutionize sales of books.

In no way am I claiming, by the way, that the bottom line is not meaningless without that ol' divil in the details.

Thanks, all, for enlightening and challenging conversation.

Best, Terry
