Stu I don't have a breakout of the costs because management doesn't provide them, but. Henry said they have Aprox 12 people in sales, so how much could that payroll be. Lets say there's another 36 people backing up the salesmen, How much can that be. When sales were nil, they were losing 11M/Q. So I peg the costs at 44M/yr. They're including alot of something in their cost basiss and I'm not sure what it is. The first thing I would guess is the technology and the infrastructure. But Henry took great pride in stating that Gemstar is unique in that they have an international platform that doesn't require extensive capital investment unlike all other similar companies. So that would rule out technology and infrasture. Maybe they're including dead air time as a loss?? 100
