I don't disagree with you there.
Producing AUDITED statements in the land of pinks is a BIG deal. Sutton is under no obligation to do so, so it is indicative of two things;
1. He understands that pink-sheet shareholders (and/or prospective shareholders) need something tangible to 'hang their hat on', and
2. Any 'bigger picture' ambitions he might have (i.e. up-listing, sale, merger, takeover, venture capital injections, etc.) will required fully audited #'s.
The facebooks, yahoos, twitters, and googles of this world do NOT and/or did NOT publicly disseminate any #'s before they had to (i.e. at IPO).
Why? For a number of reasons, but one of them being that they did NOT want people seeing, and squawking about, how much money they were losing as a start-up and implying they would never 'make-it' financially. Of course, we all know otherwise now.
But GOIG doesn't have that luxury...it's a public company now. So I'm happy that they're willing to show us what the company looks like, warts and all, so we can move on and get down to business.
I'm just not big on speculation when clarification is, hopefully, right around the corner is all.
