I agree. I’d be very surprised if the FDA approval doesn’t occur quickly - I think the FDA will approve the MRTP, and that it will happen in the next month (or two, tops), if not even earlier. Thankfully, FDA CTP team is separate from FDA team working on COVID. Once approval happens, the question then becomes one of execution: what does management have lined up? A strategic partnership should already be in the works - with one or more of a pharmacy (Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, etc), a Big Tobacco company (Japan or Korea Tobacco, esp with our non-GMO progress; BAT or Altria) and/or a pharmaceutical. Launching the VLN product on our own in small test markets - not thrilled with that idea. Also not thrilled with potentially using prior partners - e.g. Smoker Friendly or others. Not sure what they are thinking though as there is no longer much (if any) transparency. Hoping they have a laser focus on VLN though. No more goofy acquisitions. A good CEO would help as well, but he/she better be focused on VLN.
