Cooler, If the $100,0000 accrual is indeed for the 1.5 month period that would equate to $66k per month or $800k per year just as you calculated.
DSS's burn rate from Operations (for non-merger related items) is approximately $100,000 a month or $1.2 million per year. That would mean the Jive settlement covers 2/3's of their burn.
If the $600k quarterly increase in the license fees was do to just Bascom that would mean DSS is getting $200k per month which eliminates DSS's cash burn.
If the $1.0 million 6 month increase in license fees was do to Bascom, that would mean DSS is getting $166k per month which also cures their cash burn.
I realize that there is a high probability that the above numbers must contain other license fees to non-DSS entities but it tells me DSS could give us a earnings surprise when they report (Nov 15th) the 3rd quarter since it will contain Novell/Jive and Broadvision.
