This is a management team that couldn't sort out a plastic problem for two years , do you really think they can produce a new battery in twelve months. There totally no hope of these guy producing a result. No real business plan on how they will survive the next two years. They have already sold the X10 to Stanwell and are sprucing it to customers, but as yet don't have a prototype. Sales of ZBM3 will dry up as customers wait on bigger better. Poor management to announce a new product before at least building one and testing . ZBM3 is 15 years in the making they are not going to build a new product in twelve months. There non-dilutive finance has already dried up with Queensland gov backing off and putting condition on cash handover. There is little or no chance of anyone offering non-dilutive finance when they are not Backing ZBM3 long term and don't even have a prototype to show. what a balls up they can't seem to get anything right. The factory was never going to produce a positive cash flow from day one even the drover's dog could see that. So they are going to end up with a factory that building a battery they are not supporting in the long run. Even at best estimate it will take 2 to 3 years to get X10 up and running, with no shareholder support and no cash to build a new factory and no chance of ZBM3 ever becoming cash flow positive. Just what is their business plan.

" They have already sold the X10 to Stanwell and are sprucing it to customers, but as yet don't have a prototype." Not too surprising. From https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/RFX/02779404.pdf And from the most recent update; From slide 10 of https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/RFX/02833884.pdf "but as yet don't have a prototype." Pretty sure the management team from Stanwell knew that too. Correct, if they did it would probably be rather ahead of the schedule first mentioned here; At the top of page 2; That reads as in the second half of 2024, not the start of the second half of 2024. Slide 10 of https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/RFX/02833884.pdf gives some of idea of where things are at as of 31 July 2024. What are the new conditions for cash handover from the announced funding from the Queensland government, as distinct from "Queensland gov backing off and putting condition on cash handover". Do you mean they had no conditions at all? Or had they announced a pot of money and just not figured out yet what the conditions needed to be for access to it. There is some Federal funding outlined on slide 6 of the last linked document that could apply too, time will tell. It would be interesting to know how much of it has been spoken for so far.
