Q and A time........
Q1: what has been the real tally to get Valimed to market?
A1: $26 million + <$2 million> (negative cash flow) = $28 million (less the cost of the Myth Gun [not a typo] development).
Q2: How much would it cost to have a OEM spectrometer manufacturer design Valimed from COTS components?
A2: $300-400K max.
Q3: How much would software development cost, including beta partners?
A3: Software development is typically twice the cost of hardware development. Add the additional consulting cost of beta partners for a conservative estimate of $1 million.
Q4: How much would initial inventory cost?
A4: Retail price was $79K. Baxa would receive a typical 35% distributor discount which means CDEX sells them for about $50K. CDEX claims a 60% profit margin so total manufacturing cost is around $20K. Therefore, the cost of 25 initial production units was around $500K.
Q5: What is the cost for CDEX's health care industry consultants/advertisers?
A5: Helluv I know (TM- Crow), but let's figure $300K.
Q6: What is the cost of patents? (Even CYA, worthless ones)
A6: Xeno? I'll guess about $75K ea. or around $500K total.
Q7: How much to boolsheet ex-loch investors with phoney explosive detection nonsense for three years?
A7: Priceless (to prevent law suits). And very little cost to CDEX, in fact, I'd be willing to bet (sorry Scared) that the Boyz helped with the tab. Let's say it was $500K.
Q8: How much for operating cost including salaries?
A8: Again, a conservative estimate for property lease, utilities, green fees and other similar overheads would be $100k/year with salaries at about $1.4 million/year for a total of about $9 million over the last 6+ years.
Q9: Even with such ridiculous salaries for a small start-up company, what should be the total operating cost of CDEX since inception?
A9 A little over $12 million.
Q10: What happen to the remaining $16 million balance?
A10: Anyone???????????
