Michael,
The initial market for premature babies is fairly small--around 90,000 -100,000 yearly here in the US. However, when you factor in the full application for their technology--adults and other lung ailments that can be enhanced by their delivery system........we are talking big money. I think I remember that at one time DSCO projected a market of around $1B. Also, (IMO) this drug will not face the normal reluctance that doctors have in switching to another drug from what they have been utilizing.

Short term--we are probably looking at a stock offering to fund the launch. But also(IMO) they will be a prime candidate for a take out by one of the major pharmas. Again, without looking, I think they had a MC of under $100 million, so with a $1 Billion market potential............I ain't selling my shares until the dust settles.
