FAQ:
- Q: You are at capacity but your income statement shows only about $100 in revenue for 2015. Can you explain? Additionally, you mention you are marginally profitable but I see a loss for 2015. Are you referring to monthly performance numbers towards the end of 2015? Thanks!
  A: Hi Marc, thanks for your questions and interest. Our financials listed are for the parent company, VooDoo Spirits, Inc., located in the US. The capacity and sales that we are referring to are coming from our subsidiary company in Benin, La Distillerie Beninoise, SARL. As such, sales, expenses, and other financials for La Distillerie are consolidated into 2 line items on the financials for VooDoo Spirits, a profit (or loss), and the aggregate value of the company as an asset. Therefore, we can...
- Q: Bonjour, avez-vous prévu de la documentation pour les investisseurs francophones? Merci
  A: Bonjour, vous pouvez ajouter des sous-titres en français à notre vidéo de présentation pour avoir des détails cependant pour toutes questions spécifiques nous serons heureux d'y répondre personnellement. Envoyez-nous un mail à info@voodoo-spirits.com et nous vous donnerons les informations nécessaires.
- Q: what is your production capacity at this moment ?
  A: Our capacity (currently fully utilised) is around 350 750mL bottles a month. This should more than triple with the equipment that we plan on buying with the money that we have already raised in this campaign.
- Q: What are the price points planned for the U.S. please? Looks like you only show 5ths there?
  A: The consumer price on liquor store shelves will vary somewhat by state due to different tax levels but in general, the 750mL bottle will be $39.99 and the 50mL bottle, $3.99. We have not yet finalized pricing for the 37.5mL bottle as it is not in our first shipment.
- Q: Any updates? I show my investment in "escrow" on WeFunder.
  A: Thanks for your question, Bill, and I apologize for not providing an update sooner. We did, in fact, recently receive the totality of the money from Wefunder. I'm not sure how long the status takes to update in their system. Even though we did not have all of the funds until recently, that does not mean that we have not been busy implementing our campaign goals. Around the end of the campaign, we started an exhaustive search for a new facility, identifying a good match in November. Since then...
