The July 26 PR has much more text to it that I did not post. Put these two together and it looks like pre-takeover DD and financing. Who knows what will come of it, but it looks like there are intentions beyond just a $10M financing (if the company in the July 11PR is Majestic)....

Holiday time now - heading up North.
