"Could one element be"

You don't attract new management without other key elements being in place.

Also, there is no better way to signal to the markets how significant those new elements are than to attract management with the expertise to take the company to the next level.

Back in 1999-2000 when EDIG looked to be poised for endless licensing and/or product development, our current management team was well aware and stated that there would come a time to bring in the key personnel to take EDIG to the next level.

This is not an indictment of management, but rather an endorsement of their 11 year journey.
