Remind me to talk to you about MR\n\ndec 2015\nIT, still desperately needed- reporting flawed cumbersome and inaccurate . all done by hand as one -off\nexercises , - airplane: re structure, (my only suggested priority in june ) is really ,no further ahead,\n,consultants up the kazoo but nothing at all done.( the office was told that i cannot even see the proposals\nreceived without brads specific authorization ) - brad has no idea even as to what questions to ask. he\nknows little of finance, is run roughshod over by almost everyone in the office. he is a little man , using\nyour power, to appear larger . Eileen was self aware enough to know she was over her head , that is a huge\ndifference. bad info is rampant ie 3 million in deductions Im told are taken for art space but on closer\nexamination it turns out they cannot be used at all. (ZERO benefit ) though you will be told yes they\nwere deducted on the return they said that is the question they get asked! \" were they deducted \"not -\"\nis there a benefit\" !! I asked for the balance sheet and P and L for Regan arts , a basic first step in\norder to check your financials. \"sorry we never got one?\" though 9.8 million invested, no p&l, nothing ,\na construction project run amok , no budget, the coo fired after only 3 months. , no clue . I can add that\nartspace financials are also a total mess.\n\nAs your friend and in order toturn the page. I will try to be constructive\nThe following is a list of things I think would be in your interest to get done asap .but definitely not by\nme.\n\nisuggest you form new grats. , hire a high level tax partner. use your trading accounts as they remain\nthe paramount requirement 16 months after i emailed to you their importance. , I suggest you consider\nhaving the 49percent of phaidon merged into artspance and have Richard buy artspace. re-do bank"}]
