The letter, which provides thoughtful internal analysis on share price performance potential, is meant to provide ongoing insight to shareholders and investors in regard to management’s ongoing commitment to the Company’s vision while current market performance is not necessarily conveying fundamental financial progress. The CEO’s intention is to open a dialogue with shareholders and investors on the relationship between operational performance and share price performance.
