FAQ:
- Q: what kind of shares are you offering and what is the nominal value i.e. how much does for ex US$1,000 buy in the Como Audio stock? Also is there a tiered s/h with the founder(s) having more voting rights/control?
  A: Hi Dr. Adler, We are offering preferred shares valued at $2.50 each. A thousand dollars would buy 400 shares. These shares have liquidation preference over the founder's shares. The voting rights are proxied to the board. Please let mw know if you have other questions. best, tom
- Q: Do you intend to pay a dividend?
  A: HI Craig, At this point we are not planning on paying a dividend. We will use all available cash to make the company grow. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Best Tom
- Q: Great presentation - one of the best I've seen here. And of course you and your team are top level as well. I'm wondering three things. First, how are you doing right now - monthly burn, cash on hand, amount of debt? Second, what is your pitch - I hear "you don't need a phone"...
  A: Hi Alan, The company's financial situation is pretty clearly spelled out in the form C. That said, our accounts receivable and payables are current. We have $1.5 million in paid inventory and we have to watch our cash flow very carefully. To your second question, it's not whether you need a cell phone or not, it's whether it is easy and enjoyable to use. (also assuming you aren't talking on the phone) Younger audiences might even think the fact that you don't need a cell phone to operate our ...
- Q: Great products! Tom, do you see a point in Como's growth plan where it would make a public offering on one of the stock exchanges? If so, how do you see this affecting the preferred shareholders who bought-in through wefunder? Thanks and keep up the good work.
  A: HI Dave, Thanks very much for supporting us and the kind words about my products. I've brought two companies public and in addition have done a private equity deal and an M&A deal on one of the public companies. So fair to say we will do whatever seems to be in the best interest of our investors at the time. My experience is that preferred stock in a situation like this many time is converted to the new securities.
- Q: Hi Thomas, thank you for your answer. Given you successes I am quite tempted to invest - I grew up near Newton and always equated Cambridge Soundworks with quality and innovation. There is financial info on the attachments as you say, but I'm looking for more detail if possibl...
  A:  Hi Alain, I can fill in some of the details. Our breakeven revenue is around 3 1/2 million dollars. The inventory is sufficient to meet our needs through years end. The reason for the large inventory is the minimum order quantities required by our manufacturing partners.  Almost $4 million of the current debt will be converted into equity at the close of this deal. The other million dollars in long-term debt will be paid back  over time. No interest and no immediate&...
