Assumptions:
1. Revenue a. Expecting lower gum sales than the third quarter. b. Zicam sales based primarily on Nov 18 press release. Orders were 5 x Q3 at that point (about $6 mil). I believe that the company filled those orders and received and filled an additional $2.2 mil.
2. Cost of sales a. Gum 75% of sales b. Zicam 35% of sales
3. Operating expenses a. Gum based on historic avg. b. Zicam $1 mil advertising + historic avg for other.
4. R&D a. Gum increase due to nicotine gum R&D b. Zicam increase due to clinical studies
5. Interest Expense Notes outstanding at beg of quarter = $3.2 mil Interest at 8% = $64k Approx interest on loans other than Citadel = $225k Amortization of warrants to Citadel and Intercontinental Capital Corp = $75k Amortization of 10% premium to pay half the Citadel financing = $75k
6. Preferred dividends $1.6 mil outstanding at beg of quarter at 14% = $56k Amortization of warrants = ~40k
7. Minority interest is 40% to Biodelivery Technologies.
8. Income tax is 0 due to carryover loss from prior years.
9. Number of shares outstanding increased from 7.5 mil at end of 3rd quarter due to exercise of options. |
