I don't see the distinction that seems to be occupying my time.
PPHM is manufacturing MAB's - they are offering the service of manufacturing a product. I specifically said selling mabs or WHATEVER because I don't know how the deal was structured, nor do I care. I also don't care if they are paid in dollars, rupees, or lira. If this is a big deal to others, my apologies, but to me I say...good for you PPHM for $50 mil in revenues up from about half that last year.
PPHM is what it is. It clearly isn't a fortune 100 company, hence the .36 share price. I am not sure why there is a comparison with fortune 100 companies. "Trimming the fat" is good in all companies, but the question on the table is, "would eliminating the pay of every executive cause PPHM to become profitable?" If the exec team were not paid since its inception, they still would have shown a loss. Ratios are important in taking apart a company's finances. The cost of executive pay is not a significant amount when compared to revenue.
