I considered that and would agree if it was this time last year but the distribution agreement came to play at the end of Jan this year when all that was fairly transparent. I don't mean this sarcastically but if someone like mastero (PI/trader whatever) can pick up on number of PCR tests etc being signed off this year then surely the team at Beckman will have that accounted for in its plan.
To counter your second point I agree £400k would not be much to BC, but you have to look at the other resources they are putting up, screening calls, training lab staff, storing the stock, taking calls, emails, pairing enquiriers with staff to customers to explain chemistry etc also adds up quickly and if they are not making money here then they will be losing it somewhere else and the resource could have been better used else where if that makes sense.
