Good use of percentage! A couple of things: if a company says it's the best at something, don't repeat it, unless there's actually a reason to believe the are, ie, be way of PR talk! Also, you say it struggled with profits, but do'nt give us the profit numbers. Good job explaining the surge in revenue! Also, something seems off with CEO - that $23,077 number, was the including all the bonuses and everything?
