dias.....best est is that VIVUS will be able to produce 8 million units a qtr not 8 mill a month....once they ramp up to 8 lines in the new plant. Best est is that they can produce at $3.00 a unit less than at the Paco plant......that does not mean that the extra $3.00 goes directly to the bottom line (profit)...still have to pay taxes, etc,they can therefore spend more on R&D, etc with this extra money. A much brighter picture that just having the Paco plant....but they still need to go foward and build the plant in Ireland by the end of next year.
