Actually, Kim was not quoted in that PR. It was Jon. I will post the entire quote.
“Our people on the ground, in Vietnam, are wasting no time getting this facility into operation. We have outlined a very aggressive timeline for bringing the factory online and we are monitoring progress daily,” said Kraig’s COO Jon Rice. “We are very pleased to see how quickly things are moving and look forward to completing the transition. We expect to make delivery of the first production batch, of our recombinant spider silk thread, from this factory to one of our strategic market channel partners in the third or fourth quarter.”
Seems like Jon is being consistent in the PR as well as at the meeting.
Is it possible that Kim and Jon have different expectations? From attending the meeting, I do.
That PR still has the "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information" at the bottom. I think I will also repeat that for myself. Take what I say with a grain of salt. I attended the meeting, so I try my best to be factual, but again, this is only a message board. Rely on official PR's, not me.
