RE:RE:RE:RE:KNR can reduce spread of COVID-19 in classrooms The financial picture behind the BioCloud is still extremely muddy. All the qualitative communication around it sounds good but nothing is translating into the numbers. "Tens of millions of dollars" of BC annual sales in a not too distant future should be easy. It amounts to each of Steelcase 800 distributors selling just 3 units per year. The numbers that were being kicked around before "the projection" was several billion dollars and worst case hundreds of millions. So, if he has a good pulse on things now and is still sticking to the original high price, surely he should believe all the sales networks can sell a few thousand units per year combined. If not, then the positive messaging behind all the developments is overly positive and we are lined up for disappointment yet again. I'd like to think KNR's learned a few things over the past half year.

Yes, he did reconfirm that multi-unit purchases would benefit from some sort of discount based on ordered quantity. What this confirmation appears to state is that the 12K$ US price tag is not a negative and there is sufficient interest in today's marketplace to acquire BioCloud unit(s) at these price points. That in my mind is very encouraging. With a global customer base, and what appears to be growing interest in the BioCloud unit, it is not unrealistic to see annual sales revenues in the 10s of millions of dollars. Yes I know we have been there before with such projections, however, I am sure lots has been learned by Ghezzi and Co regarding their BioCloud audience over the past six months. We will see what transpires over the next number of weeks. The turnaround appears to be taking shape and therefore investors in KNR should at least start being guardedly optimistic. LTD1

With the current price tag, not too many classrooms will see a unit. One unit per school may not be that informative including the practical ability for one unit to catch small number of instances in an entire school. I still think some kind of an airlock system would be a good idea to quickly screen smaller groups, but its gotta be quick because of the number of kids to run through. I also figure that Steelcase should be able to provide a lot of intelligence as to what are the less obvious obstacles to purchasing and hopefully allow KNR to keep evolving the product to eliminate some of those obstacles.
