I have also called him today. He mentioned that production is almost over and everything is looking good. However he said the PR will be out when there is more development and when shoes are delivered.
I asked him about where the first shipment will be. He said first it goes directly to JF retail inventory in NY and from there shipped to various retail stores. Which is a very good news.
As you mentioned more Joint Ventures will be on the way! which is extremely positive. Overall everything looks good for AVTI and potential still there with much more to come.
Please don't be under the impression that there should be a PR by Sept 15 as that might not be realistic. Things are going well and as planned and there shouldn't be any pressure / panic for no PR when there is not really some solid developments!
He said news will be put out as soon as there are more developments.
