Just fyi, the O/S is 528mm, 40mm of which is in escrow for establishing a Foxconn L.O.C. for long- term manufacturing needs. According to NTEK, those shares are designated for retirement after they've fulfilled that purpose.
I didn't ask the company but I suspect 6-18mo is the norm for this purpose & kind of company at this particular stage of development, etc..
So, a year from now, the ss should effectively be AT LEAST as low as 488mm & not 550mm (just saying).
Also, in 2013 (as you may know) NTEK REDUCED the O/S by 238mm & have said they expect to continue to reduce the O/S. Lately, the past 3 months, INSIDERS have been BUYING UP shares.
The CEO himself has bought shares as HIGH as $0.17 so....we'll see how this all unfolds.
