My conversation with Tim was very short. He said Dr. George worked for OSUR in Oregon and that's where he currently resides. After that he referred me to the 8K and told me to do my DD. He emphasized that the new owners might take over Rockville. He first heard the news at midnight just prior to the NR being released.
My opinion: Because Dr. George wants this new manufacturing facility close to his home he will be in this for many years to come. I get the feeling it's more than just HIV testing with Dr. George. We're focusing on China and Africa and rightly so, but with Dr. George it's something bigger. I believe when he was at OSUR he wanted Clypte's patent for urine testing. When he was finally offered the position as CEO he was given the power to provide HIV testing using all three fluids (something no other company is capable of doing.) In the Ani CC he said "I really want to emphasize that this is really a landmark event for Calypte and we look forward to going ahead and focusing our business around the new Ani platform, something that I have wanted ever since I joined the Company, is a platform that is unique and our own platform that we have the freedom to operate anywhere in the world and now we have it." He wants to test many types of diseases using all three fluids and with Calypte's urine patent and Ani platform he has the chance to make it happen.
"Seems the management is pretty sure that the other side of the river is the Promised Land and we will never be forced again to return."
I think I'll attach my wagon to his and head for Oregon..... |
