.<font color=red>NET PROFIT ESTIMATES for Q1 08 - based on previous expenses reported in the 10Q SEC filings..
administ. expenses -- $268,000
interest expense -- $45,000 for the Class B preferred shares
Investor relations -- $15,000
___________________________________
Total expenses = $328,000
Now if COPI reports 1 million dollars in revenue, that will be 510,000 in GROSS PROFIT at 51% margins.
That would be 182,000 in NET PROFITS... Not a huge amount, but it would stop any cash burn and the need for any new financing...
Now, do the same for 1.5 million dollars in revenue...
and add 50% for admin. expenses... just for the fun of it, since we are adding 50% to revenues...even though I doubt admin. expenses will increase on the same scale, but they may need to hire new staff to deal with the expansion.
402,000 admn. expenses
45,000 class b preferred expense
15,000 IRG
Now we have expenses of 462,000.
With 1.5 million revenues x 51% gross margin = 765,000 GROSS PROFITS - subtract expenses of $462,000 and now we have NET PROFIT of $303,000 dollars for 1 quarter... or over $1,212,000 dollars in NET PROFITS per year at that rate!
