Same lack of consistency.

He says he expects to see $50m in the year, but a few weeks ago it was $60m. In Q3 it was $45-50m.

He expects to see $15-20m in new revenues from Europe. That implies an expectation of $30-35m outside Europe, using his $50m number. That would be a worrying decline.

With $50m in revenues and a $60m cost structure, you get a big fat loss for 2012.

He just seems to say whatever he wishes where numbers are involved. They are tied to nothing.

I'm afraid you cannot take his forward-looking statements seriously. The usual problem. Someone needs to give him a shake. Get real. Wake up. Stop selling bullshit. Start being consistent.

Observation: They just purchased a company, so the revenue has increased to around $11m/quarter. Multiplied by four that is $44m. Growth rate to reach $50m is 12-13%. This is meant to impress against a cost structure which has doubled - or thereabouts?

must have been necessary resulting from the apparent widespread discontent. Did it placate, inform or mislead? That probably depends on ones predisposition. Some obviously have been placated. I agree w/ CF that the numbers don't mesh, so I lean toward mislead. Even so, I think I gained some new info leading me to be somewhat more optimistic but thinking the goal posts were moved again. AB's WAVXOT board has a small discussion started re: BoD and shareholder grievances.
