It’s all about cash flow. Ongoing operations have mismatches between purchases and the delay of revenue from sales as well as ongoing cash obligations to pay staff. It is a multi national company so it also has fluctuations in currencies… etc. etc. etc. This is not in any way intended to be an exhaustive list. I have communicated with Trent (the former owner), and learned much more through my friend dealer who spoke to him often. In addition there were tube cost increases. Anyway, it is a shame what happened, because he was doing great things for the company. The new owner is very committed and has deep pockets.
