Dear Patrick: The amount of Revenue necessary would depend upon the mix of the revenue. Up to now, we have only seen the professional services revenue and the materials revenue. The former has a gross margin, I believe over 50% the latter 10% or less. There has been no breakdown between the two in the financials that I recall. Looking forward into the future revenue will become more complicated. There will be CD-ROM revenue (80% ++ gross margin)), and possibly some license revenue (which I imagin is nearly 100% gross profit). Also the type of professional service revenue may change possibly leading to even higher gross margins. Example, in some cases TPRO will assign a senior engineer to merely direct the work of customers engineers. In such a case gross margin will be even higher. So, in summary, I dont believe it is possible to accurately answer your question. JDN
