HockeyDoc - I just believe other strategies might have a better outcome. For instance, has Brian worked closely with the re-sellers to identify what issues they are facing and what their thoughts are to increase sales? If it turns out that no one is able to finance their projects then what are the solutions? If they aren't currently motivated to generate sales, what action needs to be taken?
For instance, I strongly believe QL has not generated sales due to their pending patent. It hasn't been to their advantage to do so until the patent is awarded. Afterall, they have had the KDS all locked up so what's the hurry? However, they have a big investment in the KDS and loosing their re-seller status would have a major impact on their future plans. So how does FASC take advantage of this fact? Perhaps a fee is in order. Say $250k in order to maintain their status along with firm sales quotas each year for the next several years - with minimum payments required.
The participants in FASC/M are likely far too cosey with QL, which has lead to a reliance on QL to take the lead on sales. If there isn't any value being generated perhaps closing down that relationship is in order, too. My guess is the parties might be more inclined to get out and make sales if there is even a whiff they will be dropped.
I just think there are many other things that can be done and should be done regardless of capitalization.
Fwiw,
