Consultex, Inc. was founded in 2012 as a small financial consulting business. The company had done reasonably well in 2012-2014 but started noticing its cash dwindle early in 2015. In January 2015, Consultex had paid $20,000 to purchase land and repaid $2,000 principal on an existing promissory note. In March, the company paid $2,800 cash for dividends and $1,200 to repurchase Consultex stock that had previously been issued for $1,200. To improve its cash position, Consultex borrowed $5,800 by signing a new promissory note in May and also issued stock to a new private investor for $12,800 cash.
