Ann: Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Director, page-82

SAS does not need the money for the pearls till at least the end of February.
So they have a little time not much to meet there estimate timeline but they have time still.

Now they only need to have the money so gomespace can build the pearls ( obvious )
, SAS will not hand over any money for the pearls till the batch has been built and certified so they don't need to hand over the cash till at least MAY sometime.
So there is time I'll be worried if no funding by mid February.
But I'm sure we will hear something very very soon
