Nobody REALLY knows other than parties involved, but a little common sense here goes a long way. We know Tim has done due diligence on researching this. If they are 20 blocks behind and have nothing to show........that's a 100K. So he is NOT going to open himself to be liable for that right off the bat. That would be stupid. Now if that 20 behind means they have 20 castings that need machining, or sleeves, whatever......well that is another matter, that is manageable. The reality is likely in the middle somewhere, but WE don't know. But I will about bet the farm that however it will be set up, Tim Banning or FHO will not be immediately liable for owed monies. That would be crazy.

My GUESS and it's strictly a guess, is that Tim is an investor to help get the company turned around. His "investment" assures that HE will get blocks to sell, which in turn creates cash flow that will allow Ken to fill backorders. But again, that's a guess
