- Question: are expenses growing at a reasonable rate? Expenses are growing faster than revs, as shown below, but given the AOL, Oracle, & other models of paying a lot on the front end for recurring rev streams, I think the ratio is reasonable enought: - From 2Q00 to 3Q00: - VIGN's revs went from $77 mill to $110 mill; a 43% gain - From 2Q00 to 3Q00, VIGN's expenses: - Total cost of revenue (direct expenses) - went from $28 to $36 mill; 29% increase - Operating expenses - r&d, sales, general, stock compensat, etc... went from $54 to $106 mill; or 97% increase - in total, expenses went up 74%
