Thomas,
Good news!
The real estate assessor completed the valuation of the land and building we received from Investor B in exchange for common stock. Similar real estate was sold five years ago for $950,000, but the current appraised value of this real estate is $1,200,000 net of expenses. We will close on the property by the end of the month and issue 40,000 shares of common stock of $10 par value upon closing.

Julia, we prepared the financial statements for year 1. As you requested, we will transfer the financial statements and related documentation to Pat Johansen.

Julia,
Good news! After verifying the December financial transactions, I am pleased to report $235,000 net income for year 2. This is slightly better than our estimate of $225,000.
The financial statements still need to be audited, but I am quite confident in the accuracy of this number.
Best regards,

Julia Bernhart is the founder of RoboReady Logistics (RRL), a company that holds unique patents on robotics technology utilizing machine learning. The technology significantly streamlines logistics, or the movement of materials, in factories and warehouses. Julia developed the unique software that mobilizes the robots, and she hired Thomas Robertson, an expert in warehouse logistics, to assist her in the development of the first product line. Julia and Thomas believe the technology will be widely embraced across the many industries that move materials in factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.
