Listen man, I am not here to lie and deceive like you are.
I am sorry that you get caught up on semantics to complicate the picture for anyone else reading this board.
In accounting circles, shareholder capital is not true equity. Retained earnings is the true equity of a company. Retained earnings is what a company has made or lost since its inception. Shareholder capital is what people have paid over par for the stock. It has nothing to do with earnings or predicting the success of a company. The only thing that shareholder capital can tell anyone in DNDN's case is how long they can continue to lose money. Yes, shareholder capital is keeping them solvent because in the event of bankruptcy they can pay all their obligations. I never said they are insolvent.
Because a balance sheet happens to call the sum of shareholder capital and retained earnings total equity, I apologize for not pointing this distinction out to you. Most people understand it, but since you want to continue lying and deceiving, I should have explained this distinction.
As losses keep mounting quarter over quarter and 500M is a farsical break even number, negative retained earnings will continue to increase. Yes, the shareholder capital and their cash buys time for them. The only things left before either a dilution, a bond offering, bankruptcy or a sale is the remaining cash and the positive 200M difference between shareholder capital and negative retained earnings. DNDN would have to leave a buffer. They can't drain it all before either a dilution, bond offering sale or bankruptcy.
D'Enron is in huge financial peril according to their balance sheet and what we know about the cash burn and what we dont know about future income.
That is why back in January, a publication listed D'Enron as the number 1 company at risk for bankruptcy. Schiffman's response was weak at best. He mentioned the cash and he mentioned revenue growth. What he failed to mention is income. It seems no one at D'Enron ever seems to address income.
Revenues are irrelevant if you have a CFO who doesn't seem to be cognizant about out of control expenses. Revenues are irrelevant when you have a HR guy who is making the most money of any HR guy in the country. A recent college grad at a 50k salary would have done better than that loser. Revenues are irrelevant when you continue to fund a plant that is not needed. Revenues are irrelevant when you continue to pay the legal bills of a criminal on the BOD. Revenues are irrelevant when you have paid 100's of millions to a criminal management. Revenues are irrelevant when margins are so slim on a 1 product company.
In politics, it was once said "It's the economy, stupid"
D'Enron doesn't understand "It's income stupid" and there isnt much time left. The balance sheet is illustrative of that.
