Weazel,

I agree on them not being "passive" per se. "Pace of Funding" slows progress. So one could say that they are part of the drag as well.

HEP Investments put Dahl and Rice in place and has had representatives at board meetings since they became involved. Maggiore has since been added to the board as well as becoming a member of HEP Investments. So they are directly involved in the direction of the company. Money talks. IMO they know what's going on at all times and for lack of a better term, "approve" the direction and provide the monetary support to fund it.

I know Maggiore has been busy developing a new business in his hometown the latter part of 2015 but I don't see that interfering with his input to ZIVO ... beyond maybe putting a wrinkle in his cash flow for a little bit.

As to the end game, ultimately if mgmt. gets the job done in the form described (licensing company, personal health) it is an easy buyout candidate. However I don't think it is quite the "all or nothing" scenario IMO. There are other possibilities.

IMO, they are convinced of a positive outcome. Should know by now (3.5 years) whether they have a candidate that could be a commercial success, however we are still left to wonder.
