Janybird... >>Chromatics Fourth Quarter Shipments in Progress to Ohmeda Medical<< This is a case of looking at a glass half full or half empty depending if you are long or short. On Oct 6, CCSI issued a press release which stated that they completed the shipping of 300 units to Ohmeda. No mention was made at that time of what the size of the contractual commitment was for Q4. The current PR, states that CCSI has shipped half of the q4 commitment on schedule. IMO that is the half full part. My half empty part is that it appears Ohmeda has not increased their commitment thus reflecting a lack of robust sales. If they had you can be sure it would have been reported in the PR. This apparent lack of robust sales again IMO is reflected in the comment which you failed to highlight from the PR. I quote. >><While the distributor's task of gaining market penetration within the domestic medical community will take time to accomplish,<< The implication is that CCSI's products are not flying off the shelf to say the least. Darby does state that these shipments are generating the first substantial revenue for CCSI. I would hope so, last Q they had only $50K (that's thousands) of dollars in revenue! Not very difficult to show a HUGE % increase in revenue when dividing by a number so small. Finally, while it is not stated anywhere that I can find, are these shipments "real?" What I mean by that is can Ohmeda return them in the event they do not sell? It will be interesting to see the A/R line in their next quarterly report. Half full, Half empty time will tell. Regards and good luck. I remain short for my second trip. Bob T
