They still would need to pay people to sell the product, right?

That's not going to make its way to COGS. They would also need to pay people to travel for installation/training.

Some of the SG&A costs will stay and some will go away. It's hard to break it out, but the overall margin would increase with a buyer. Of course, they deserve some of that margin and won't be paying Implant for their (the buyers) efficiency.

There is more margin there than we currently have, but not a ton. When you're selling to your biggest customer for near costs, that is how it goes.

Oh yea, from the potential buyer prospective, valuation is based on the most recent year sales. So once again do the math. What's the total sales number for the most recent year time frame? Heck, let's even shift this time frame into future a bit. Now, give it the good 'ol ~X2 markup and see what you come up with.

I didn't understand your L3 question... I thought you meant this "Australian partnership". And in that case my answer still stands.

As to L3 being the buyer of Implant, I simply don't see how a name of a company changes the price of components. The price of components is driven by the size of the bulk order. Since it'd be suicidal to start changing any components on already certified product, L3 would simply go to the same vendors and obviously the pricing would be the same as for Implant. Manufacturing cost would remain the same as well because it'd cost MORE for L3 to butcher the existing process and start it all over again. At least it would end up about break even. It's not like they can outsource it to China where labor makes a huge difference.

And lastly.... clearly those videos aren't attracting any attention to IMSC
