The Chart
If Clicking on the chart does not make it bigger try clicking here
There are many statistics to chose from to judge a company's direction and momentum.  Here I chose two for the last 4 quarters - from the recent 'Financials"  As you can see Total revenues overtook SGA expenses during the 1Q and the spread has expanded.  Not profitable yet - when you throw in cost of revenues, but I think the chart above shows we are moving quickly in the right direction.
*********************
The decreasing one is "Selling General and Administrative":

SGA expenses consist of the combined costs of operating the company, which breaks down to:

Selling: Cost of Sales, which includes salaries, advertising expenses, cost of manufacturing, rent, and all expenses and taxes directly related to producing and selling product

General: General operating expenses and taxes that are directly related to the general operation of the company, but don't relate to the other two categories.

Administration: Executive salaries and general support and all associated taxes related to the overall administration of the company
***************

The generally increasing one is "Total Revenues"
Total revenue is the total money received from the sale of any given quantity of output.

I think the last page of this report is very telling. See the infringement disclaimer?

The Galatian Free Press said...

Roughly speaking, market penetration for COES is about as follows ...

10% properly contracted and close to up and running.
10% in litigation for infringement.
10% probable infringement, but not yet named in litigation.

70% not signed and/or using off patent.


Now that we have an explanation for the Global Lock, it appears that the speculation about a buyout is moot.

I would like to hear some sort of explanation about the conversion of the preferred stock to common stock from the CEO.

Maybe a shareholder letter is in order.

Thank you for the information you provided. In further review you are correct in that there is no global lock on GERS. GERS is having trouble electronically transferring shares through DTCC because the stock is only trading in physical form using actual stock certificates. Since GERS is only trading in physical form USAA has chosen not to trade this security. If and when GERS shares are able to be electronically transferred through DTCC then USAA will allow purchases again. We are aware that some firms have chosen to continue trading the stock. If you are intent on purchasing shares of GERS I encourage you to seek a firm that still allows purchases. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
