As promised, the CEO did release information/news this week. Fran was on-time with her news announcement. As a shareholder, this does make me happy that she followed through on the text conversation she had with James. With the quarterly report being released, hopefully it is followed up with information on a new auditor. With the last three years being incorrect, I can only imagine that audited financials will show that the company is in much better shape than what some had said. My gut feeling tells me, the financials get audited.... and we will find the numbers to be MUCH higher than what is reported in the unaudited quarterly financial report. By higher, I mean.... MORE IN THE GREEN! Higher sales, high profit, etc.
