Slacker: The equipment cost. That was the only number I missed. The rest were fine. Here is an old post of mine. Message 17341331 The Q1 2002 actual numbers are also listed below for comparison. >Do you think we can do a consolidated 37 million EBITDA loss in Q1?> In Thousand of Dollars Service Revenue 135,500 <Actual 128,000> (Based on $36 ARPU, and average 1,255,000 <Actual 1,260,679> average subs) Equipment Rev. 10,300 <Actual 12,200> (Based on gross adds of 395000 <Actual 391,417> and $26/gross add) Total Revenue 145,800 <Actual 140,200> Cost of Service 44,000 <Actual 41,891> (Based on about $11.7/sub/month, Q4 2001 was $13.9/sub/month) Cost of Equipment 63,000 <Actual 84,011> BIG MISS! (Based on $160/unit) <Actual $215> Selling & Marketing 32,000 <Actual 30,159> Q4 2001 S&M was 44,000. 8,500 of it was related to startup costs ($18/gross add, $246-$228=$18). That leaves 35,500. About half of S&M is advertizing. The costs should come down as markets mature. With some more efficiencies in reseller sales, 32,000 seems reasonable. G&A 44,000 <Actual 49,994> (PCSTEL, you have been suggesting 40,000. I am being a little more cautious here. So the 44,000) Expenses (w/o D&A) 183,000 <Actual 205,000> EBITDA (37,200) <Actual 65,800> Comments? Arun
