You know we all hope for great things but we need to stay real.
There are 486M shares outstanding and market cap is $68M.

There is ZERO chance of a stock buy back. The company has $44,620 in cash with $663,700 in debt. Only mature companies buy their stock back. In fact, it would be a very bad thing for the company to use cash to buy back stock. That cash should be better utlized in expansion, etc. to create income.

Number of shares outstanding is not even on my scope for items of concern. Top line (sales) is number one and bottom line(profit) will become later on down the road. More stores and expansion of sales will take care of the stock price. Anytime the managment starts trying to do anything about the stock price, I want out. The stock price will take care of itself if management get the top line for now and the bottom line later on.

Investors watch very closely to see if management is trying to get the stock price up. Run the company. The price will go up largely based on the company rate of growth of the top line.

It is also misleading and absurd to put our Unique Pizza even on the same page with PAPA Johns. A stock selling for $.14 is more than likely not to make it. Period. That is why it is $.14. There is tremendous risk in any new stocks. Most don't make it.

Now I own the stock and have bought it twice and am very hopeful but I fully realize the risks here. I expect to make money but it won't be a PaPa Johns in my lifetime even if it is successful.

Please tone down your expectations so you won't be disappointed.

I don't want to come over as so negative, but my friend, institutions and brokers are Not allowed to promote penny stocks. Most cannot even own a stock selling for less than $10.00 for goodness sake. They certainly can't promote them to clients.
