RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Tech question G'day Beaner,
I didn't mean to leave the impression that I had seen any documentation. That was not the case. I was simply trying to offer a generic description of what "sharing" might entail and how it could be embodied in a contract.
I look upon the relationship with Re:Build in a different light than many on this board. I see it as a straightforward contract for the fabrication, assembly and testing of the cell driver. EXRO could have engaged any number of contractors for this for this task. It chose Re:Build presumably because it presents itself as a reliable, low-cost manufacturer.
If you agree with this premise, then you can see why it would be unusual for EXRO to base its revenue stream soley on projected cost savings. A more likely scenario is that revenue would derive from customer sales and Re:Build would be an expense. The battery purchase would also be an expense.
OTOH, if you believe that the Re:Build relationship is bigger than this, as many do, then anything is possible.
You might want to clarify this with John. Could provide some guidance for your queries.
I find that EXRO sometimes speaks in code. Their statements frequently can be interpreted in different ways. It is useful to consider them with a critical eye.
My 2cents.
