We know that the long ordeal with previous auditor was $$$ costly. If cash flow is short term tight,  surely they can think of ways become $leaner & meaner. The new auditor will surely want some advanced funding, but FUNN should have the work up papers from RBSM which will save time...and get it done well within 2 months once started. Without funding the '19 audit is delayed, and without that audit, certain key things can not occur. I would think that with 240 on staff, there are ample ways to inctrease cash flow immediately. And there are other ways to get money short term, but the new auditor need be selected SOON [if not already] and paid the upfront fees. When a company expands  quickly, revenues are immediately plowed back into more assets. These S&Ls don't prepare themselves for free, and increasing revenue of course must be balanced with expansion rate. IMO, FUNN is working through a phase where the cart got in front of the horse, and the cart naturally slows down until horse gets back in front. The audit mess is in the past...mistakes were made, but mistakes are one way we learn, and Ben & Roger are making adjustments. The future looks really bright once they get organized with the '19 audit completion, and the BIG investors are watching & waiting for this!
