I would imagine the company would try to make the same deal that it made with the other individuals - depending on funding would depend on salary.
Usually share compensation is a large part as well, and I always think that's a good incentive for managers to get their company going. Most 144 shares are restricted for a while, too.
Yes, I don't know how much more difficult their financial position may get, but you would think they could draw from their financing - unless perhaps they have a clause in the contract which stipulated their funds were to be used for material and labor to be spent in China ONLY - and no funding for any US operations whatsoever. If I were the investor, I would want a clause like that in any OTCBB company since so many companies use funds for salaries FIRST and then running the company later.
Obviously we don't really know because they have not necessarily disclosed that information - just a thought.
