Agreed we= should go / no go by Monday AM EST.  

Spent 6= 0 minutes on the phone with Vadim today.  They are in complete agreemen= t in regards to the discrete nature of your Board role and  they actual= ly described the same before I repeated it. 

P= eople will discover this though from corporate filings or one way or another= so we have to be ready for questions.

The Presiden= t of Poland from 1995 - 2005 is doing a press release in the coming weeks di= rectly related to the company and his strong support etc. Maybe you should d= o one final check on him.  We'll be working closely with him.  He i= s a gentleman and we spent a few hours together in Warsaw in some very engag= ed geopolitical dialogue.  I am a big fan and I think the US is as well= .  But check.

You also have to be aware we'll h= ave to roll up our sleeves here and work and do some travel on behalf of the= company.  They're organized and responsive so it's not wasted time but= it's work and travel nonetheless.

My elephant hunt= thoughts are that we have a chance to get in on the ground floor of the Gaz= prom of the U. If it doesn't result in trophy bull at minimum we're being co= mpensated for the safari.

Dear Devon,

Please find few initial points to be discussed for the purpo= ses of analyzing the potential of this as you called, =E2=80=9CScience Ukrai= ne=E2=80=9D project.

1.&nb= sp;      Financing.  As I understand the Metabiota was a subcontract to princi= pal contactor of the DoD B&V.  Today they seem to state that financing is closed. What was the reaso= n of stopping the projects and financing of the projects?  They look for a new financing. Do they expect to receive i= t again from B&V or they look for else were?=

 

2.&nb= sp;      What kind of partnership Metabiota is looking for in Ukraine? =46rom p= otential non-governmental player in Kiev? Rebuilt the ties with respective m= inistries in Ukraine, and on the basis of that reinstate the financing from the B&V? Or they look for partners= hip in managing  projects in Ukraine, PR with Government institutions here, financing o= f the projects?

 

(( Metabiota counterparts in Ukraine were ( i.e. final beneficiary and t= he recipient of the results of the projects) were ministries of from Ukraine= , Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Health.
=46rom the Ukrainian governmental point of you, it looks like standard I= nternational Assistance project, that could be technical, financial, etc))

 

3. =       The principal contactor B&V seems to be also the party that operat= es in Ukraine on the similar or the same projects. There is no competition h= ere?

 

Best regards, vadym

Vadim,
Send me some general questions if you have time so I can work on respon= ses and we'll go into further detail when we speak tomorrow.
