you can write whatever you want to try and pump this up, but it's clear that management have absolutely destroyed the value of this company by:
- first promising the world and so much revenue coming out of our ears with KMP and our esteemed south korean partners under a 'build it and they will come' strategy
- no one actually came and now we are pivoting to a US metals plant, even though the first plant loses money and has 1 customer that doesn't actually take any ndpr (what is NS World doing?)
- failing to secure any long term supply of feedstock from our south korean and dodgy vietnamese friends, and not only that, buying feedstock when the price was high and selling excess feedstock when the price was low.
- failing to publish any production numbers and conversion/efficiency numbers for KMP ever since it was established. i guess it's pretty hard when there are no customers.
- have they even installed and commissioned the TiCu line like they said they would?
- anyone remember that magical south korean ZironTech that was supposedly going to make KMP so much better than any other ndpr production method?
- still have no capital / cornerstone equity partner
- dubbo is still a stranded asset despite attempts to modularise, make more efficient, reduce the cost of, etc etc. as late as october last year we are still trying to figure out how to make it economical (with taxpayer money)

- did ASM even build the infrastructure they received NSW government grant for?
