Kakala

The title of the thread you started is "desperate" - but it's you not the company. So apt.

I gave you the context to understand the ann. But no you just don't want to understand or perhaps more likely you "cannot understand": under the partnership "agreement" (not contract) was a piece of paper outlining the way the two companies would work together in a mutually beneficial way. Until MSB launches a product to sell it is groundwork! Get it! The required work to actually use the currently available facility will now be brought forward, that is: mopping up all the details the two parties need to finalize ahead of anticipated production - including perhaps the sensitive matters of government incentive monies and where those dollars might end up. And there might be a lawyer or two involved there Kakala.

So there you go I disagree with your main point and have explained why (TWICE).

Later, as we know, the "option" exists to step this up to a new dedicated facility - but that's getting way out into the future by which time there could be a tropical downpour of "incentives".

OK now I will spoon feed you some more to ponder for the weekend: regarding the Singapore government money.
Suppose Kakala that the government is in sensitive discussions with other biologic or pharma companies to locate more product production in Singapore? We know for example that Merk are there just to quote one big player. Suppose MSB were asked to not throw that detail out for the world press and Kakala? Suppose MSB are still holding out for a little more than what is on the table? What? Make an announcement: "we are pushing for a better deal"????

The fact is, if you knew the figure was $20M or $50M spread over 5 years or 10 years or delivered with bonus packs of pork buns - how would that affect your opinion process.
That's just a rhetorical question Kakala - we already know the answer, but I won't embarrass you any more.

Glad to receive your apology on my desk Monday.
