I had a talk yesterday with aksy cfo ?

very informative he said :
1/ cost reduction is on tract
old machine 60k new (secund h 2003)is 45k
primarily due to using other materials so no new fda clearance needed
2/ no change in sales forcast (oef)
3/ ongoing talk with the large dialysis centers
4/ talking with lawyers of the co to see best way out of this mess , poison pill could dilute durus holdings but not the other shareholders
5/ Scott Sacane cant sell now because then his gains should go to the co rules 16B

so either durus sells its holdings and pays the co the profit (their cost base should be around 8) or they get diluted out IMO

Perhaps it could be a win no loss situation

suppose the agree on the following
Durus sells stock and gives gains to the co , co temporaily suspends poison pill to give durus a way out, and they wait/forget to announce it till durus cut its holdings back

RESULT
co gets free cash without issuing new shares
Durus gets out without loosing its pants in the dillution

comments appreciated

ps He called back when i was already a sleep , had to jumpstart brain so i hope i got it right (last part is pure speculation of mine )
