Yes ysung, I believe MMTC already has the money from Dutchess from the five or so withdrawals. Management estimated that it required working capital of approximating $77,800 per month to maintain operations during fiscal 2010. I do not know if this estimate included money for the new staff hires this year.
Generally speaking, I do not like dilution. However, in this case the money from Dutchess was to be used for production of the MIT 1000, marketing and promotion, as well as general operating costs. I think your guess about the number of outstanding shares is accurate. MMTC claimed to have about 156 million shares outstanding before the withdrawals from Dutchess. Five withdrawals each at 11,000,000 should have increased the O/S by 55 million shares. Remember, the agreement with Dutchess authorized a total of 125 million shares, so we are approximately half way through this money.
Since we have used about half the money from Dutchess, and several e-mails from MMTC indicated that we would hear something from the company "soon," I think we will get an update from the company in September. Hope this helps.
