Hi, Oman. Yes, despite inching at things in dollar terms, things really have moved a long way in the last year or two. Totally agree that management have made a huge difference, but let's not forget that there is a fabulous bunch of scientific talent and achievement underlying it - Blis is doing well because there are talented people working together on all fronts. The much cliched "centre of excellence" perhaps?
Personally, I will be happy to hear when another market has opened outside the US, as things are generally pretty shaky in the US you would have to say. Opening in the States has obviously been a good thing, but I am nervous about that being the only destination. Still, Blis only needs a tiny market there to count as good news, so it probably doesn't matter too much.
But, Oman, did I miss something here: "PS. Nice to see AAC taking a 'lazy man' stake in BLT ...but I wonder whose money it was they invested?"
