If they are an R&D company, they should be getting contracts to do the R&D so that they accrue revenue to pay their salaries and keep the lights on. If all they can do with the results of their R&D is file them away in CIP, the money they can get from dilution will eventually dry up, and the lights will go out. That's how their effectiveness can be measured. They need to sell SOMETHING other than shares, or they will soon be bankrupt. If that happens, someone will benefit from the IP in CIP, but it won't be the shareholders.

I agree (particularly in the past) LQMT has thought of themselves as a R & D company. Therefore typical logic of a balance sheet doesn't necessarily apply. True.

I disagree because LQMT is at it's heart a business. Businesses need to make money; even R & D businesses. Also, to be honest, I haven't seen a lot of effort of "LQMT the R & D company" to propose using their science to make the world a better place. Five written page imaginary scenarios of LQMT used for components of scuba equipment doesn't count.

You'd think "LQMT the R & D company" would be more proud. Boastful. Yet LQMT hides in the shadows of the Pink Sheets.
