I think the big difference between the previous and present CEO is a Wall Street knowledge, which should help in funding.
The biggest problem is not just getting money, but getting it at the right cost. In the "civilian" world the loan shark is the extreme for expense. It is not a good cost and any that deal in that areana are probably doomed.
Money is tight, but progress with actual production should help.
As I have said, I am looking to March to start getting a better (and brighter) picture.
