We have costed out the 'Test Tank' and 'Robot Laboratory' separately for contractual reasons, but in reality the two (sub) projects are interrelated, such that one could not exist without the other - for example there is a walkway between the two sections that needed to be improved so that transporting between facilities is safe and practical. In the Robot Lab costings for 2016 we have also included some of the cost of refurbishing our event/tour wagon, subsequently set out separately.

 

There has been some over-run on our original estimates, but then the facilities are more user-friendly as a result and better secured to allow us to complete experiments faster in the long-term. We hope that those who contributed to the SeaVax™ project will agree that we have achieved considerably more operating as a not-for-profit on a small budget compared to other research and development houses with budgets up to 100 times ours.

RESTORATION COSTS to be assessed April 2017

??.??

 

* IP license and premises rental expenses may begin before crowd funding and end after that period of support in the above calculations. This will be adjusted in the final accounts, to reflect a 10, and not a 12 month period of payments, so attracting an apparent refund. Where payments have been made that are/were due, the adjustment will have the effect of repaying any sums that could not be applied to the formal 10 month crowd fund support period.

For this Phase of the project BMS was crowd funded, acceptance of such assistance was from March of 2016, with funds being released in June 2016 after formalizing that agreed in principle in March 2016. The funds were to be exhausted by April 30 2017, with a final report to be filed no later than 31 May 2017. Funds that are not used during this period for this Phase of the project are to be returned to Avaaz by April 30 2017. This should leave us with a rollover debt from 2015 totaling £138,408.00, a figure that is likely to stand year on year until such time as a Sea or River Vax is put into service.
