Anyone know what happened to the Kau'wela Ukulele company?

I have an older zebrawood Kau'wela and was curious what happened to that company. Their website http://www.kauwelaukulele.net/ is now defunct and there's almost no information about them online. The uke I have is actually quite good and I was considering getting another.

Yeah, I saw that thread. Not a lot of info in there.
