The entire 10K reads like a Christmas wish list. IMO

"The Flaskworks units will only be usable in the Grade C labs, and hence are not useful until the Grade C labs have been constructed, validated and are operational. Since the timeframe for fabricating the Flaskworks units is much shorter than the timeframe for buildout of the Grade C labs (including the simplified initial Grade C lab), the Company has been holding off on proceeding with the fabrication until closer to the time when the initial Grade C lab will be operational."

Planning, plans, wishing, discussing, preparations, etc...
