To all, the financial fundamentals, while deteriorating fast, should still provide support (perhaps the only support right now) for the current price level. Below are some financial measures (versus numbers at the end of the previous quarter in parenthesis): Cash and cash equivalents: 1.16/share (1.28); working capital: 1.55/share (1.77); book value: 1.76/share (1.99). # of shares used in calculation: 15268 (15276).

The fact that this company is terribly mismanaged and its expenses (and thus losses) are out of line, is no surprise to anyone that follows PTON. However, I see a big positive in this report, namely that the quarter to quarter losses in revenue have FINALLY stopped. Q4 revenue of $5m is equal to Q3 revenue of $5m -- I believe many potential investors will view this positively. Don't forget what everyone has been watching the past couple of years in this regards: $5m Q3 revenue, compared to $7.7m in Q2, compared to $9.1m in Q1, compared to $10m in Q4 '96, compared to $10.6 in Q3,....... With the company trading at cash value, significantly less than book value, and perhaps a sustainable sales rate, bargain shoppers or potential suitors may not be far away!
