My speculation is that the PR is capital related.
First, I doubt that Mr. Marshall would be steeping down, absent a personal issue, if he were not relatively certain his efforts would bare fruit.
Second, it has been rumored that Mr. Esposito has the contacts, and has had some discussions with significant prospective investors / buyers.
Third, as some on this board have stated, no one would take this company seriously with Mr. Marshall at the helm.
Fourth, it is impossible to "commercialize" AS without appropriate capital. You cannot hire people without capital. You cannot create inventory without capital. You cannot execute without capital. Where is the capital going to come from?
Fifth, is the "interim" lable indicative of a sale of the company?
All just questions.
Hopefully on Thursday we finally get some real answers. Hopefully Mr. Esposito has a "business plan." Hopefully we get more than "we're on the cusp of commercializations."
