Actually...we are just starting to see as investors what we need to see. Bites taken from this....on January 26th. biz.yahoo.com For the year, CyberCash had revenues of $12.6 million versus $4.5 million in 1997. ICVERIFY product sales accounted for approximately 50% of CyberCash's revenue in 1998....(~6 Million) CyberCash ended 1998 with more than 9,400 online merchants, a 275% increase over 1997. The increase in merchant base, coupled with a new fee structure, which charges merchants a setup and monthly service fee, grew service revenues by more than 200% from the previous year and accounted for approximately 25% of CyberCash's total 1998 revenue...(~3 Million) helped increase revenues from PayNow by almost 300% over the prior year and accounted for approximately 5% of CyberCash's revenue in 1998...(~600 Thousand) InstaBuy also allows banks to enhance their relationships with customers on the Internet. InstaBuy accounted for almost 10% of CyberCash's revenue in 1998....(~1.2 Million) With the company's increased focus on the scalability of its technology in preparation for the impending growth of e-commerce, customization revenue decreased from approximately 90% of total revenue in 1997(~4 Million) to approximately 10% of revenues in 1998....(~1.2 Million) ...............To me these are now benchmarks...if they report quarterly these results..I'd prefer line item totals it would make my life much easier.
