Hi VBH ! Just a quick response to try to help out here. 1. FAMH just went public last spring, so this is their first year as a public company. They have also added several new locations this year. So year over year could only be obtained by breaking out the separate original offices. 2. Their most recent balance sheet showed Total Long Term Debt of $8,290.43. That's it! 3. It appears that extra expenses for next year, in addition to expansion, might be just the additional expenses of regular NASDAQ listing. I have not uncovered anything else that would look unusual. This looks pretty much like a "pay as they go" business. They appear to have plenty of profits to cover normal operations and more. The only thing they are using the additional capital for appears to be acquisitions. It's nice to see a BB stock with profits! To me, the whole process FAMH is following to develop as a public company is about as "straight forward" as I've ever seen in a BB stock. They have followed through with everything they said they would. Only thing left, in my opinion, is the Audited Financials and Full Reporting. They've been good to their word so far, so my money is bet that they will follow through with these elements as well. As for any question about what funds are buying this... as I recall, it was Alexander Wescott that gave fund names, not FAMH. So any questions regarding that should go to AW. I could make 20-25% over the next year with some other big board company that already has ALL the pieces in place. But when I've got this good a shot at 500% or more with FAMH, for me it's an easy decision. Just my opinions, of course. Best wishes, Brad
