Sierra: Take a deep breath, all is not lost as you envision. Not a bad update. At least we now know what's progressing and what's moving slower and why. If you've ever had any dealings in China you would know deals with them can take many months if not years. I wouldn't concern yourself with China and focus on the EU, (mid east?), N Assay development and the grant application. My takeaway is that they are progressing slowly but progressing. They have to be making some money as the N Assay continues to be developed. Would not be surprised with another update before Christmas. Gathering a few pennies and will probably buy more. .03-.04 is a bargain and worth the risk. Opinion.
