I am simply wondering if it can be the case that POET could receive payment for a portion of what they deliver, even as they continue to complete the whole order? the idea being that those revenues could help with the remaining expenses for that customer order and even help get another customer's deliverable going before the first's is even complete. My assumption is that given the profit margins we have seen discussed, this should be possible, even quite easy.

Will it not be the case that any high volume customer, requires assurances that POET can deliver on their order and in full, before signing any agreement? It would strike me as a risky situation to enter a deal knowing your supplier is reliant on your cash to complete your orders. That said if the tech is as labelled then they May be more than happy to compromise.
