Thanks Michael and James Lee Bland as well for the information you have posted on the annual shareholder's meeting! Also Michael thanks for doing a little digging on the numbers for Columbia HCA and the Crowne Plaza... I can't find the numbers for Hill Rom facilities on the net, either. Truth is it doesn't really matter as any numbers we come up with would be purely conjecture as far as determining how much business might come the company's way. But for the sake of argument lets say that Cyclopss was able to book a number of contracts in this business. The Crowne Ravina Plaza contract alone was for $400,000. How many new laundry contracts were booked this quarter? Any guesses? Apparently Bill Stoddard let it slip that shareholders would be happy with the quarterly results next week. Wouldn't most of the current income be associated with the laundry business? How many contracts does it take to break even? How many to make an actual profit? The company is getting closer to that day. Hopefully the upcoming quarterly report should be proof positive along those lines. So what do you think people? With over 400 existing facilities in two of the three companies that cyclopss is working with to be potentially replaced at some time in the future with Cyclopss ozone laundry systems. How many a year brings a real profit to Cyclopss? What could that mean to us as shareholders? Anyone think $10 a share for the laundry division is outrageous? Tell us why? Regards, Jeff
