Not a business expert but don't contracts often require a completion or fulfilment of agreed upon conditions before payment for services is made? Contracts lead to revenues if they are fulfilled. Right.

Just speculation, but the upfront investment for a manufacturing ramp up can be quite substantial. So IF they did have the potential for large contract that they currently cannot support financially, then an injection of capital would be necessary to capitalize on a growth opportunity.

I am as confused as anyone else here about the shelf reg. only time will tell. But I would still not group SGLB together with other diluting penny stocks as some would like to do.

First half of 2015 will decide everything IMO. I have invested much capital in this stock that I really do not "need" so I am willing to ride out my bet here. Big risk can = an even bigger reward. I am confident that SGLB will pay off in the long run.

uhhh because businesses often need capital in order to grow?

You have literally just questioned the very basis of credit and thus capitalism itself. Nailed it.

As mentioned just recently, this is not an investment for the faint of heart. And with that risk comes a HUGE payoff.

I don't necessarily like the idea of possible dilution, but the management here has proven to be conservative and smart. Add to that zero debt. I have no doubt that if we do find ourselves in a dilution situation, it will be for a good reason. And to build a profitable future.

Possibly due to the fact that a contract deposit won't cover the purchase of 50 printers.

IOW...there's a decent possibility of the need to massively scale up.

Not saying this is definitely happening. I'm only providing one reasonable answer to your question.
