If the sales outlook for the coming three years was only 20,000,000 and B.E. continued producing at the rate of 30,000,000 units, a total of 10,000,000 units would be dumped into ending inventory at the end of each year once again reducing costs of goods sold and falsely increasing income. By the end of year 2013, B.E. Company would have 35,000,000 units sitting in ending inventory taking up space and costing money to store. Once again if the president’s bonus is based off of net income, this situation is the most favorable for a high paying bonus and encourages stockpiling inventory to inflate net income.

Our company reported a net loss of $30,000 due mainly to operating expenses and product costs that exceeded our projections. We are currently working on several initiatives that we believe will significantly reduce our costs relative to our sales. Despite negative net income which reflected a negative free cash flow, our company was able to generate $420,000 through investing activities from supporters such as you.
