As we have said multiple times in our notes, we are persona non grata with the company, hence are not hopeful that we can have adequate answers to our questions, which are: What specifically is the allegation? Is it about channel stuffing? Is it about revenue recognition? As highlighted in our Dec 6, 2017 research note, we had questions about Obalon’s revenue recognition criteria, and how the accounting for deliverables was being done.
