It's not a good feeling to see the stock price of CSIM comes so low (3 - 4 dollars range). The running away costs seem not only from the FlowStream area. There were also spending in WorkStream projects which do not lead to significant income, such as the Oracle port. Again, the business case analysis required for making go/no-go decisions for investing in R&D wasn't properly done. One would hope that when CSIM decide to invest a major chunk of money to do a project, the return of investment should be well calculated (worst case, best case, etc.) The income should cover the spending including R&D, sales, and other overhead costs. Stock holders anywhere would never like to hear: "it's hard to anticipate and forcast the return of the investment because ...".

To make a company profitable, the company either receive more income, or reduce costs. Cosilium at this time needs to survive first before any good thing can happen. I hope the money spent in acquiring SDI and the overseas Oracle port can have good returns soon enough.
