Dearest TechBunny, I thought about rhyme ... and then the fear set in. A haiku at best maybe hahaha.

Page 6 of the Annual Report, refers to WineDepot, DW8s main revenue stream as SaaS. Deep dive into the Notes 8 and 9 of the report and there are no software sales or software licencing as part of the revenue streams.

Outcome. RhymeBunny is correct, and this Doggo is wrong - The board are being liberal (ie misleading) with the term SaaS as it is sexy and attracts cash. Another reason this stock is caveat emptor.

The AFR has an article today about DW8 doing another acquisition, and funding it via CR and share issue.

DW8 is a very young company, having started from seed money in May 2019. Having done 4x CR, and this being the third acquisition since seeding, DW8 continues to exhibit the uncertainty of a young SaaS company in a retail industry (distributing wine and alcoholic beverages).

Will it go on to be a success story? Or continue to raise money from investors on continuing promises?

Note to future-self – Remember that I like SaaS, but avoid competitive retail investing or ventures that are easy to copy. This one is not for me.
