Let's not even mention THC!! Anyhow, it's Jan 31st, the end of sober Jan. I wonder how many Beckett's where sold during this yearly ''sober curious'' month!! Can't wait for the financials? EBITA positive?
Allrighty then! Cosinus just can't get along without my posts! I will do my best to entertain you and provide something relevant.
Monthly is coming up again! 5 trading days into Feb and we should have, at minimum, a cut and paste of monthly reports gone by.
Hopefully an update about the upgrades to go along with the posts and pics on various sites showing our bottling facility producing our products or somebody else's.
It has been a clusterfuch for Tinley to get to where we are and I am invested in a couple of other potpreneurs facing the same legislation, permitting and inspection delays. Don't forget the analyzing people who have the final say of whether your products produced make muster and can be sold and that they must pass the shelflife delay, usually 60 or 90 days.
Our team management is still using the same propaganda writer who can give the impression that things are getting done to describe dreams and goals with a positive spin and being successfully completed.
Read the nrs well and understand that they are deliberately embellished such that hopeful readers will get the impression of success.
Becketts seems to be dropped like a hot potato despite that we were led to believe that it is the hot new sku. We haven't got Lyre's status although they seem to declaring success.
Others have been successful at getting THC skus on shelves in Canada while our excuse is that we keep picking the wrong co-bottlers, distributors and such.
We might have to face the reality that despite the nice reviews, we aren't doing as well with the Tinleys in the US but apparently we have co-packers lined up to have us crank their products out.
Co-bottling is supposed to be upfront revenue where the contractee assumes all of the risk once they take possession of the batches. I personally see it as capped revenue and am trying to decide if there will be anything left for shareholders after costs to produce, labour and management renumeration is dealt with. Some of our managment is used to slopping pretty heavily at the trough, I can imagine.
Our three man team has bones for increasing sales and bringing dead products back to life but can they build the bricks, mortar and infrastructure or just improve it after it is built.
I have concerns that the sales are so low with such a crackerjack team that should be able to show us good numbers.
On a more positive note, Tinley's seems to have all of our ducks in order such that Tinley's is on shelves in California while some heavyweights aren't. I'm thinking that Canopy/Acreage don't have those hot branded THC infused beverage products yet despite declaring them as products that will cannibalize sales of beverage alcohol which is why Constellation Brands went pot in the first place.
Cosinus is right that 6 years is a long time to get a new vice on shelves but we seem to be there now for the consumer to decide on our success or failure.
If nothing else, STZ,WEED, ACRG might want to swallow us up for rapid setup in California as we are supposedly the largest, licensed, state of the art thc bottler in California.
With our dismall record of accomplishments in a timely fashion, we should just concentrate on getting California going with Tinleys or revenue from co-bottling and forget the rest such that all of our effort and resources are put towards California until such time as we move on to other States or Countries.
glta and dyodd
ps. monthly by the 7th!!??
