MMW: Thank you for providing the quarterly cash flow statements. First, it seems that the most important number is moving in the right direction: NET CASH FRM OPS -276. The most troublesome item here is Inventories. I would hope management is working to drive inventories down even as sales and production ramp up. Second, the Purchase of PP&E 2,479 and SHT TRM INVESTMTS 532 net is pretty much where the DEBT and CAPITL STK proceeds went. Third, I am not sure the numbers on the last two lines on the statements are working properly, and without fly specking this to death, I am ignoring them. In this type of business, what good is positive cash flow anyway? You want more dividends? We want profits my boy, PROFITS! Regards, Abbigail
