We know sales are an issue but if you joined one of the investor calls Alvira has stated when they expect those POs/units to be accepted and the sales orders will ramp (Q4). I am not expecting anything of note until Q4. But if Q4 does not have a marketable (10-15+ sales) I will be concerned but again this was stated to occur two investor calls ago by Alvira. Do you join the investor calls?

I read the transcript.
the fact remains, sales are negligible and have been negligible for the history of the company.
this is a fact, verifiable.
The boiler plate, is a statement of going concern  indicating that because there have been so little sold, and because sales are uncertain, the company very well could (and has ) become insolvent.
That is also a fact.Its also a legal requirement fo companies at risk of insolvency to protect investors, notwithstanding the reassurances of bagholders and those with a vested interest.

Now loooking forward, yes, sales MAY come, and the LONG sales cycle is well known.
Still, a cash raise and dilution is also likely, and I will believe that sales will happen when I see it.]So far its just doctors with free product, paid representatives, PR firms, and promoters talking about how great the product is.

Show me the money.


Graham, now you are stating that "the company very well could (and has) become insolvent". Where is this coming from?

Is this another one of your attempts to besmirch the company?

My post relates to my understanding of the financial history of this company and the companies current financials and posted “going concern”.
 
To be precise:
 
If we define Insolvency as:
 
“Insolvency is when an individual or company can no longer meet their financial obligations to lenders as debts become due. Before an insolvent company or person gets involved in insolvency proceedings, they will may be involved in informal arrangements with creditors, such as setting up alternative payment arrangements.”
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/insolvency.asp
 
Recall that in 2020 VPT ceased trading and indicated in a news release:
 
“The Company reported in its last financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020, liabilities and accounts payables of approximately $1,699,181, of which approximately $1.1M was accounts payable and approximately .5M was accrued salaries. This was in addition to the approximately $1.1M of debt in the form of debentures. It is anticipated the remaining accounts payables will be settled over time and so the majority of the proceeds of the second tranche of the private placement will be used to advance the operations of the Company. It is also anticipated that current and former employees will wait until the Company has sufficient resources to be paid their accrued salaries (the majority is owed to the acting CEO and Executive-Chairman, Dr. Adams) or convert them into shares through settlement agreements which may be subject to approval of the Exchange and shareholders. A majority of the accounts payables date back several years and creditors, which have been patient throughout this period. There is no guarantee these creditors will remain patient. The ability to negotiate payout agreements with significant creditors may materially affect the Company going forward.

If you read the two highlighted sections and the full finacials at that period, MY impression is yes they were insolvent IMO
 
The current situation is well described in the financials, and I could do the math for you, but it’s pretty straightforward and if you read the companies statement, I agree with what they are saying. That’s all, I’m agreeing with the company.

G , I have taken the time to educate on this board, but , if I can be frank,I am finding your posts to be increasingly non collegial and accusatory.
I dont take the childish action of "blocking"people, as I am very good at filtering on my own. Pleased dont take any future non response as agreement with your posts or failure to have an answer.
it is just that with limited time, I choose to allocate my time where I feel it is best.
kind regards across the internet

Graham, Ventripoint has never made a legal declaration of insolvency period.

You chose to use the adjective "insolvency", not Ventripoint in their financial statements. You need to be more careful in what you post on this forum.

Thanks, but my understanding of insolvency as listed above, and compared to the companies financials is TO ME insolvency. Say what you want. Investors need to make thier own assessments as there have been countless examples of where the reporting can lag events in the stock market.
Regardless, whatever you want to call it, the fact the company couldn't pay salaries and had accounts payable due for several years TO ME indicates significant financial stress.

What is your interpretation? You think that is a healthy finacial sign?

In your house if you didn't receive your paycheck or pension and had bills outstranding for years "until you have sufficient resources" how would you think of it?

In my house -there would be stress.

At the end of the day call it what you want-to me- if you dont have money in, you are burning through millions, and you have bills, it tells me something.
As an investor it tells me something.

The key is , it is in our opinion. Like I say, everyone should do thier own due diligence.
And as I often say -dont trust anyone's opinion, especially mine, on these boards-do your own homework. Certainly dont truest the homework of someone else.
Having said that-I try to provide quotes, references, links, and use the companies posted financials inn my work FWIW. figure its better than innuendos and rumours from message boards.



There you go, Graham. Now you're calling it financial stress. They have overcome financial stress and the company lives on. That's what counts.


G1945V


Call it what you want.
At the most basic level of corporate finance When you cant pay your bills, and you have minimal income, at some point you have to face the music.
Either make sales, or do more financings.
GA should be commended for pulling this company back from the brink. 

And from the history books:

– Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (“Ventripoint” or the “Company”) (TSXV:VPT) (OTC:VPTDF) announces that the Board of Directors of the Company had deemed the Company was no longer a going concern and elected to put the Company into receivership.  Subsequently, Dr. Don Segal, David Willis, Dr. Alan Rabinowitz have resigned as Directors of the Company.  Justin Leuschner has resigned as a Director and CEO of the Company. Ellen Briant has resigned as CFO. Desmond Hirson has resigned as the CTO and will be available to the Company as a consultant.  
https://www.canadianinsider.com/company-news?ticker=VPT

Of course they did restate this, got financing and here we are.
I suspoect GA was pivotal here.
Lets see if they can pull a rabbit from the hat again.
I hope for patients and longs they do.
Time will tell.
Menbawhile I will go back to researching other companies and see you all again when there is news finacial or material information.
If there is I will reevaluate
Good luck with your investment G1945. I hope you succeed.

Like I was saying,,,
Just filed on SEDAR MD&A

"The Company’s working capital of $2,440,668 at June 30, 2023, (December 31, 2022 - $4,607,068), and is sufficient to satisfy current liabilities. Based on the rate of expenditure, the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand and will have to raise equity capital in the near term in amounts sufficient to fund both general and administrative costs and working capital requirement. The Company has been successful in raising funds to date, however, there is no assurance that future equity capital or debt will be available to the Company in the amounts or at the times desired or on terms that are acceptable to the Company, if at all."
