Good ?'s Goldseeker. I have the answer to one of them. I have a ? for you though, "Why do you care?" If this company is a sham as you imply? You divested? You obviously aren't convinced yourself. You have already shown your worth to this board as an incedible poster, making baseless untrue statements hoping for some commentary that refutes your assertions.
Anyway, to answer your ? on the upfront fee, BOCX has so much faith in the technology, they took a small upfront fee with the trade off being, a heavily backloaded deal, in which they will get substantial payments when milestones are acheived and 10 - 15% of the profits when products begin to sell with know expenditures on their side.
