RE RE:The 10 million inventory question & where it leads to

[ramman1]

As far as I have been able to find out  :  (1) how much of the  inventory  is consumed in current back-log  ? (A)  very little, likely less than 1 million .  Most Septa contracts were anticipated and planned for , and very few other small  contracts are  involving the inventory . Even National is a starting maitenance contract . ---   (2) what general amount of (revenue) could the inventory produce  ?. (A)   A whopping total of 40 million ,possibly a bit more . This would consume at least  a transit contract or possibly more than 1 contract . ITS A BIG DEAL .  The 10 million was planned,hopefully , and prudently ,to  win one or two transit deals .

In his words : In excess of 100 million dollars .

On the topic of inventory, how much ITSS temperature sensing goodies are included in inventory? Its a bit surprising that Doug couldn't have worked out a pilot with school transit or public transit to try some of these out as a method of testing it and preparing for the

Wrong word choice in the last sentence of my previous post.  Ratio was the sought-after word, not proportion. It was Ramman1’s “take” on the ratio of inventory (10 Million) to the projected sales that made my mouth water. My point?  That inventory could easily service 2 contracts at the same time, -especially in the initial stages. Call it adroit leverage, but in no way should the
