Amended S1 filed on June 22, 2011.  The DOE loan is out of the S1 document but Kior had already taken $28 million from Old Miss under the state loan

I believe there have to be records under the FOIA about the third party's view on the technology.  The April 11, 2011 S1 was full of statements about the third party hired by the US DOE that was to review the technology.  KIOR claimed the DOE loan was not taken because they had to start construction on September 30, 2011.  In the April 11, 2011 S1 the September 30 date is mentioned several times and was not a problem.  This timing issue is probably a smoke screen for other problems with the DOE loan. 

There has to be a third party report given to the US DOE around the end of April or early May 2011 on the technology.  I want to see if the third party reported that KIOR would likely not yield the quantities of diesel and gasoline they claimed.  This report will resolve if Khosla et al at Kior pulled a fast one on Mississippi as well as investors who bought into the IPO.


Also as the IPO was only source of funds for the company after the DOE went hasta lavista, the announcement that Condi Rice would join the board was probably made to prop up the IPO.
