Re: not viable? really said by Lazlow:If you look at their 10K you will see while HSI revenues increased by 11%, their HSI costs of revenues decreased by 12%. So you are correct their profit was not 11%, it was greater than 11%. Direct costs (maintenance, capex for hardware, vendor costs) went down, but again you're not factoring in the other indirect cost line items from the 10-K.
You can't do a 1:1 correlation of product line revenue to product line direct costs. Product line revenue accounts for all income associated with that product, but the direct costs don't reflect the total cost of actually providing the service.
It's like relating the cost of your auto repair bill to just the parts on the invoice, but not factoring in labor costs. |

Total revenues were up 5%. Video revenues were down but HSI revenues were up. Video costs went up 6%, but HSI costs went down 11%. So if video was down, HSI was up, and there was no major upgrades done to the HSI system, where was the majority of increase in the non listed items? Probably in the switch from analog to digital on the video side and the rapid expansion of their VOIP product. |

Annual salary increases for employees? Higher cost of healthcare benefits? Higher energy costs? Higher fuel costs for the vehicle fleet? |
