Unilever has a signed deal for 21 million of which only about 3 million has been paid.
That leaves 18 million plus the net cash from last set accounts and if I am not mistaken no trials
Ongoing costs will therefore be minimal and the royalties will kick in from hoodia/slimfast say at even 1% of 500 million US dollar sales eqautes to some 3 million sterling
Hopefully pym will pay the sans some money but the net profit for pym will still be significant !
Do not forget, unilever is bearing the cost of the agronomy for hoodia cultivation and their slimfast business was a topollar (billion plus sales) business pre-atkins fad.
If only dixey could sort out the ethics side of the business model then we could have a flyer here.
