Big Al Skinner, Inc. was founded on June 2, 1974, by Sandy Skinner, in a joint venture with Steve Skinner. Revenues that year were $0, and held steady at $0 for about the next 16 years. Net income over that period was -$160,000, or roughly the cost deBeers wants to charge you for a piece of rock. Anyway... Since that time, revenue has jumped and net income is now positive. However, this trend has taken a turn for the worse over the last year due to new management (see Board of Directors, below). Currently, BAS, Inc. is valued at roughly $12,500, or approximately one dollar for every lie Greg Swinks has ever told me.

The Board of Directors consists of:

• Alan Skinner, Chairman & CEO
  
• Sandy Ubaldini, Director and Controller
