The company wants to expand, make itself larger, and show us all how big it is. The problem seems to be that it's taking longer to get it up to the board, who is taking a slow, long, hard look at the numbers.
The company claims it will add "hundreds of jobs," then actually admits that it will only add maybe one hundred. As the makers of Viagra, it probably goes without saying that they exaggerate the actual numbers of their research, and that cold weather and stress may be contributing factors to the significant discrepancies in the perceived numbers and the true numbers. Some claim it's all about how you look at the numbers - frontal or side view.
Both sides are banging away, forcing the climax of this serious issue. Matters will come before the hard-line board members, who will be steeled against giving more than a few inches in the encounter. The Viagra manufacturer hasn't been able to penetrate the private areas where the board meets except in explicit, open, scant meetings where the dance between members often happens in bare chambers without benefit of press coverage.
Either way, both sides feel they are being shafted. If breakage occurs during negotiations, the whole deal could go bust and need to be aborted. If this happens, we'd really be screwed.
