<<<With productions costing 1-3 million dollars any more, plus marketing costs and so forth, break even is probably a couple hundred thousand units +- 50%, not counting share of company fixed costs, commissions, admin, and so on. Do you agree?>>> Here is the model I use to figure expenses/profit for MPRS Operating Expenses on Average=$14-$15 Million Cost of goods sold = 35-50% of sales with normal margins. (Last qtr cost of goods where 69% 3rd party titles.) The model above has a break even at 25 million. with 2-3 cents in earnings for every one million over $25 million. Estimating.. They gain about $3-$4 million a qtr from distribution (examples Expert Software in England,Broderbund and 3do in certian Europeon territories ) Licensing/OEM I would estimate about $1-$2 million a qtr could go up from the sound of the conference call.. examples Macsoft,budget 20 million that left needs to be made up of current qtr releases back catologe (reorders) Coy
