They need to test for a few more months, as Kay stated, then sales commence and payment would be in maybe 90 days. So, we're looking at 5 or 6 months until real revenue might start coming in. In the best case scenario.
The concept of testing also implies the thing being tested might fail or need to be tweaked for a little while.
Where's the money gonna come from to pay the bills for 5 or 6 months, or more?. In the best case scenario. From you and me, sucka, just like it always has (dilution).
