The technical chart shows major rally may be coming as the stock is now on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average with 50 day moving average rising.

Financial
Since the company is still in the development stage, little revenue is expected from the income statement. The balance sheet has improved in the most recently quarter on increasing cash as the company raised more cash thru selling of stocks. There is still the risk of more stock dilution if the company is in need to raise cash to pay the quarterly operation expense about $1.7 million dollars.
