Fine. I give up. Eastman Kodak sells 20m rolls of film to Alaris at $15 per roll and revenue from this somehow amounts not to $300m but $70m as reported in their financial statement.
Kodak Alaris must be run by the biggest idiots ever. They wrote off $2.8bn in debt and paid additional $650m to end up hostage to Eastman Kodak. Believe that if you want...
I'm curious where you see the still film sales to KA $ amount on the EK financial reports.
Every distributor who has an exclusive manufacturer is both dependent on that manufacturer, and is in a strong position with respect to that manufacturer.
And vice-versa.
There is an interdependence there - just as there was when everything that KA does was in-house.
