Well,
I don't pretend to know exactly what ZIVO has going or doesn't have going at the moment. I haven't spoken to them for quite some time. Wanted to give Payne chance to take over and settle in.
But given Dahl saying last summer that ZIVO was a short term situation .... and now looking back the company saying nothing outside of his dismissal for literally 9 months.
We have shareholder letter from last August .....
>>>>> To ZIVO Shareholders, Principals and Partners
2021 has turned into a watershed moment in the Company’s history and future outlook. After years of stopgap funding and on-off R&D, we find ourselves in the strongest financial position ever and a portfolio of products with great promise and prospects. The Company’s hybrid approach to R&D, working both biotech and agtech in parallel, has resulted in a robust intellectual property portfolio and engagement with some of the world’s best-known animal and human health brands.
We are committed to moving forward with commercialization efforts backed by the technical and financial resources we had worked for years to develop. This could not have happened without the active support of our investor base, those who recently joined us and those who’ve stuck with us over the years. Nor could it have been possible without a small but dedicated core team of ZIVO employees and external advisors.<<<<<
In my book it does take an extended amount of time to put together deals with the big boys. That said, no information at all is simply ridiculous.
The text to the shareholder address was never published for last year (another sloppy mistake) but the slides show .... commercial initiatives underway and pursuing licensing opportunities. Poultry and topical skin candidates along with Phase 1 contract with Alimenta for productions in negotiations .... that doesn't take that long .... and get some sales going for the biomass.
I don't get it unless Dahl royally screwed the pooch. Of course now there are the non monetary excuses .... supply chain, personnel - research shortages. Of course ZIVO SHOULD control its own supply chain with Alimenta presently as the algae is grown.
Amigo Mike
