Ram: Why indeedy!! Let's see now....using L.D.'s comments regarding those "tens of metric tons"(Hey, exactly how much space does that level of materials consume anyway?) purchased we should be able to glean the proof of that statement from the most recent SEC filing, no? Any of the bean-counters out there amongst us willing to point out the category whereby that "surge in expense" would be noted since it's reasonable to assume the purchase occurred during this SEC documents last coverage cycle? After all, one doesn't just "pop down to the 'ol pub" and buy a few tons of material the last week in the month.
Be that as it may, let's go out on a wild-ass limb and, using such data as has been provided from the SEC document regarding when the line(s) are gonna be ready, guess why he'd do this. L.D., et.al., have seen the results of their limited line production. The results, at a minimum, meet their expectations. They also know how much further it's gonna take before they've truly created a production environment(once again back to the SEC document). They further expect no variation from original testing results for the products coming off said fully functional line(s). Therefore, why not gamble on that end of March date, have raw materials standing by so that warehousing of finished product can be underway while your potential clients are doing one last round of testing using yer products off of that line(s). Seems like a slam-dunk of a gamble, no? Particularly since L.D. has continually stated, "no sweat," with regards to future funding. But regardless of this, the potential clients are gonna want to do that final round of testing "by the numbers," hence my subsequent timeframes.
All of this is just a guess of course, but it's using the one document(SEC filing) that over the past several years has proven(cut and pasting aside--but notice that line functionality 1st qtr aspect WAS put in this time around) to be the most accurate independent source point available . I'd love to be proven wrong, but meanwhile I'd like to see, if not p.o.'s, a corporate news release confirming the functionality of those lines. Nothing "secretive" about that, and one I'm expecting to see by the first couple of weeks in April.
Bottom line? Time will reveal all(as I remove my swami hat) so let's see how it goes.....
