Yes it would.. Alec but think of a truck 31 feet tall? Thinking Quad 12k footprint, Of course that's silly, it would need to be modified for that purpose. No doubt about it.
I am just suggesting the market drives the design. However that takes away from the versatility and the cost/benefit equation turns on us..
at 900k+truck.. etc.. becomes a specialty machine now.
I believe the Quad has to do what it was born to do which is a general purpose midrange high throughput low cost machine for a busy low cost HMO/hospital applications.
If say we were talking one bed(make that one stall or even 2 on a truck ) then how much of a footprint would it require? You could say have an ambulatory MRI surgical unit once the procedures are nailed down and chopper it to emergency locations for in situ surgical intervention. Such as battlefields, floods, earthquakes, freeways ... outer space? it can happen, there are many benefits there.. I mean we are talking 21 st century medicine.
Trouble is to make our pennies in 9-12 months, we need sales and have you figured margins? and qty of shipped machines required to make your investment worthwhile say 9 months out? (again not being negative to upset anyone just assessing the investment.. and inspire a little fundamental research..) 30 Quads are projected, that is 27 mill, 97 revenue. Say they clear 8% to the bottom, thats 2.16 mill, well divide that by the float and what do you get? a whopping .03 cents... then say growth rate is what? 100% doubling every year, 200% first year, fine fair value from the Quad contribution alone stress alone because there may be other income from surgical attachments or whatever.. is 6 dollars but nobody pays fair value for anything in wall street so its probably more like 4 or 5 dollars with goodwill. A modest beginning, a gain of 2.25 over todays money on delivery and installation of 30 Quads. Then next year you double the sales to 60 and you half the growth rate to 100% right 30 to 60.. and you come up flat. so you better plan on selling 90 machines..to keep the rally alive and get to 8 or 10 bucks and 270 machines after that.. My question is what is the size of the market? and can this baby keep up new products introduction etc and really fly?
If it can we are in business.... otherwise its tough road to hoe for everyone.
good luck to us all
