Thia (and another little one) are toys to play with using money I ca afford to lose. However to be honest, initially (bought at $0,38) I tought Baby was an opportunity and for a while I did enjoy trading it so I got more shares and kept a very low net cost. I however did not know the CEO was annything but a serious tecky with no competence whatsoever in managing a good company. Over and above being incompetent in business managing she also demonstrated she was stupidly stubborn, refusing to see what was happening. I therefore lose my initial investment that became a ''BET'' and am sorry to conclude that I found out to late that our CEO was outright incompetent. In penny stock, you lose some, you win some ... Baby revealed to be an opportunity destroyed by incompetence.

When I bought my first shares at $0,38 (2019-12-11), the product involved was extremely attractive and inovative). Initially, people rightfully did believe in the product created by someone understanding the scientific value of what she developped (PPS up to $4,26 on 2020-12-09).

Thereafter for more or less 9 months, the stock gave a great opportunity for trading (PPS swingning up down between $ 2.0 and $ 4.00 before it went downhill for good because,for whatever reason our CEO tought she knew better than anyone. In fact she had a personal hatrerd for whatever is called ''Marketing'' a useless EXPENSE in her mind. That created her failure.

Her stupidity made her refuse to see the obvious: ''Products however great they are cannot sell if market is not made aware of what they are and offer'' (Lesson well learn by Japaneeses and their Beta technology, against en inferior american VHS technology).

What a shame

Right but she would thereby admit defeat and I think she would not be able to do so.
Alternatively, finding a solid mass marketing professional and supporting him blindly (financing, planning, executing) could still save the company. I however again believe her ego would not accept that also.

Soon to be a sub penny stock if our CEO keeps looking at it with her incredible incompetence (I almost have no doubt she will do so). I've been around stock markets for decades but never saw any executive that incompetent and stubborn. When I bought it initially (2019-12-13 BUY 1800 0,380 684,00 $ 9,95 $ 693,95) $) I really tought I had found a golden opportunity. Fortunately I thereafer traded somewhat accumulating shares an saving cash but it is absolutely incredible to withness that level of stupididy blowing up such an opportunity. Ho ...

The woman is a disaster. She doesn't have a clue relative to what managing a MASS MARKETING OPERATION represents. She is a lab-rat, only concern by product. She operates in a mass marketing business but think marketing (an investment) is an expense to cut. More incompetent than that, you lead yourself to bancrupcy.
A few abstract from her NR:
- managing expenses.

- additional major US retailer.

Else Nutrition Reports 2024 Third Quarter Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2024

Conference call to be held today at 10:00 AM Eastern Time

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2024 /CNW/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC.

The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.

Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO of Else Nutrition, commented, "We are making steady progress executing our growth strategy, while carefully managing expenses. We achieved a 5% year-over-year revenue increase in Q3 2024, despite a very modest marketing budget. Our ability to achieve these results demonstrates the growing consumer appetite for our products and our expanding retail presence."

"We are continuing to gain traction with retailers across North America, including our recent pilot program with Costco -- one of the largest North American wholesale retailers. We believe this could lead to distribution across more than 100 of their locations in Canada as a first step with the potential to expand throughout the US. This expansion represents a substantial opportunity to reach new consumers and build our brand. We are also in the process of finalizing the expanded availability of our kids RTD products with an additional major US retailer. Once finalized, our products would be available in over 900 new US large grocery stores, further enhancing our market reach. Additionally, we are proud of our ongoing product innovations, including the upcoming launch of our Adult RTD product, with the first commercial production scheduled for later this year. This is a key milestone as we broaden our offerings to meet the demand for convenient, healthy whole food, minimally processed and easy to digest, plant-based nutrition."

"To support our growth, we are in active discussions regarding non-dilutive bridge funding, and a long-term credit line that will enable us to ramp up our marketing efforts, optimize our capital structure, and drive our long-term growth strategy. Concurrently, we've implemented strategic cost-saving measures aimed at improving our margins in future quarters. We believe these operational improvements, combined with innovative product launches and an expanding retail presence, are positioning us for long-term financial success."

"Looking forward, we believe as we continue to execute on our financial strategy, it will enable us o expand our retail footprint, increase brand visibility, and continue to develop high-demand plant-based products. Our commitment to providing healthy, sustainable nutrition options places us at the forefront of the plant-based nutrition market, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead."

If she has any smarts left, she tries to sell out the outfit but with current market value the pressure to give it for negligeable amount up would be great. However, I suspect the market value reflect the incompetence of our CEO but, taking her out of the picture gives our product line, patents and rights, a much greater value, In any case is our CEO dumb enough to not understand her stuborness is going to sink the boat sooner than later?

I hope our CEO has now figured out that developing new products and\or adding shelves where to store our inventories is not really the objectives she should pursue.
I start to believe that if she doesn’t sell out her company and register rights we will have to write off our investment and include our loss as a tax deduction. At current price, I may sell out by year end, take my capital loss as a tax deduction (in Canada and Quebec) and buy back, just in case … who knows.

FDA approval has been waited for for almost 2 years and now the taste is another issue. Add that to the leadership of an incompetent CEO who doesn't know how to address these issues.

The whole "problem" could also be that their products taste like crap. Bought a container of their complete shake mix a few years ago and the only way my grandson would drink it is if I also put in a banana, regular milk and a few other ingredients. Defeats the purpose of paying a premium price for a plant-based mix. Never finished it so there's no way I was going to order it again. I'm really glad I sold all my shares (except 5000 in a forgotten account) about two years ago.

So..
How does the FDA oversee the safety and nutritional quality of infant formula??
Infant formula is a food that may be the sole source of nutrition for infants (i.e., children up to 12 months of age) as an alternative to human milk. The FDA regulatory requirements address, among other issues, the safety, nutritional adequacy, packaging, and labeling of these products. The FDA does not approve infant formulas; however, infant formula manufacturers must notify the agency before marketing a new formula. The FDA’s highly trained staff review these notifications to make sure new formulas meet federal nutrition, labeling, and other requirements. If a product does not meet applicable requirements, the formula may be deemed adulterated, misbranded, or both, and the FDA has the authority to take enforcement action. For example, the FDA can require a mandatory recall of product if the agency determines that an adulterated or misbranded infant formula presents a risk to human health.

Among the requirements for infant formulas, the FDA specifies 30 nutrients that must be included in infant formulas. There are minimum amounts for all 30 nutrients and maximum amounts for 10 nutrients. In addition, any ingredient used in infant formula must be safe and suitable for such use. Additionally, sanitary controls are required by law to prevent contamination and other safety problems from occurring. For example, manufacturers must establish a system of controls designed to ensure that infant formula does not become adulterated due to the presence of microorganisms in the formula or in the processing environment. Further, the FDA regulations set forth certain testing requirements of finished product for Salmonella and Cronobacter. FDA regulations also require that the water the companies use to manufacture formulas meets safety standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The FDA has specific requirements for labeling infant formulas. Information that is most helpful for caregivers of infants includes directions for preparation and use, and a pictogram showing the major steps for preparing infant formula, a β€œuse by” date.

The FDA inspects facilities that manufacture infant formulas annually and carefully trains its investigators to ensure that every infant formula inspection is robust, thorough, and focused on the most critical aspects of the infant formula manufacturing process.

All Infant formula products sold in the U.S., whether produced domestically or imported, must meet all U.S. requirements, including those for safety and nutritional adequacy. Caregivers should use caution when ordering imported products online or from third party distributors because some of these products have not undergone FDA's rigorous premarket review process and do not meet U.S. requirements for safety or nutritional adequacy.
