I keep finding more than I ever wanted to know about EFCX from the 10 Q

sec.gov

It shows the monthly burn rate about .5 million/month (1.5 per qtr /3 months)

As of September 30, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
financial investments of approximately $3.0 million compared with $8.9 million
as of December 31, 1998.

From Oct to Jan burned 1.5 million (3 x .5)

3.0 - 1.5= 1.5 million in cash.

Jan is almost over -.5 = 1.0 million cash.

That's 2 months operating expenses.

Not a lot of money when you are ramping up production for a new product, and you have to pay for a new automated manufacturing plant, that ws supposed to be
delivered in sept/oct., and advertising and marketing.

They absolutely had to do the private placement, that or go out of business.

Pretty scarey stuff.

Seems to me if this company can survive, a saving grace would be to get scooped up by one of the big boys like Duracell or Eveready. Who I am sure are not just
sitting on there laurels doing nothing..
