I'm a small retired investor who sunk a huge chunk

I'm a small retired investor who sunk a huge chunk of my investment funds into this company dragging many of my friends along with me. At this point in time we have ALL lost well over 50% of our investments.
Tell me, how is that a gift from anywhere but HELL?
Despite rehashed interviews of promises of future plans and huge production potential we really haven't gotten ANY of the kind of news from management that can do anything to help the investors who hope to see actual growth in this company?
Where are the hard numbers?
Where are the filings that will get us off the pink sheets?
In the 20 something years of R&D here they may have learned much about shrimp but have apparently learned very little about how to manage an actual money making company.
That patent was great but how do they protect it's intellectual property rights and get their system into full scale production without a huge amount of capital?
Loans, churn shares, new partner's...?
Organic growth is the ONLY WAY I see the current shareholders can make any real return on their investments.
I just dont see that happening here in any timeframe that will do me any good...my grandkids maybe? I don't have 20 more years to wait.
