Look at the latest financials or read a report... the aging of machines ALREADY has shown an increase in revenues per week depending on whether it was first year,second year,or third year... The average revenue per machine has gone up DESPITE the fact that machine rollouts are in the 400+ per quarter... They are also reducoing their machine costs every year they have produced them from about 20,000 down now to around $12,000 also new coin cointing mechanism will further lower chart... Breakeven on machines is currently just under 3 years and will go down as margins go up... Machine margins are going from this past year 30% to approaching 40% this year... Company revenues are expected to go from 25 million in 1997 to around 60 million in 1998... Machine rollouts are at approx. 2000 per year as of now.... and they only current thing holding them back is depreciation all other costs (or EBITDA is expected to be positive by mid 1998)
