    -We are left with $750K to cover COGS and all overhead. Let's assume $100K for rent, utilities, insurance, write-offs,...list goes on ($100k is very conservative)
    -Add 10 employees at $50K a pop (more like $75K after benefits) and you're left sweet Fvck all

    So yes, revenues are completely irrelevant when it comes to the health of a business ,EBITDA is where it is at
    Its about EBITDA and ... Return on Assets.

    I could bet you a steak dinner that the costs of Korth's physical assets (lathes, CNC machines, etc) will greatly exceed the costs of their labour for many years to come..... for all any one here knows, the payback period on their phyiscal assests could be 20 years.

    I work in P&L accounting for a major player in the grain industry.

    Its always interesting to listen to people outside of the industry carry on about the 100s of millions dollars that any one of the companies has made in any given year.

    I hear stuff like "Its seems so unfair that they make soooo much money" ......then I usually respond ....

    " well.. do you have any idea how much it cost to built any one of our concrete grain elevators in the Prairies ?
    Do you how much it costs to build just one of our export terminals in Montreal / Thunderbay / Vancouver ?
    Do you how much it costs us to acquire the grain that is sitting in our elevators/export terminals ?

    Billions and billions in costs.... so if the industry players are not making 100s of millions, then our shareholders will start firing people and will hire new people that will.
    Buy once and cry once. Sometimes half measures cost twice as much.
    Accuracy is a matter of time and money. How much do you want to spend?

    The way I look at it ... if there any junior gunsmiths out there who feel their skills are worth more than the $22 /hr offered (which may or may not be the market rate), they are free to contact a commercial banker for say a $3 million loan (I don't know for sure) for the necessary lathes and CNC machines to start up their own smithing business.

    And hey.... if their first smithing project happens to pay $3 million dollars, then its a gravy train from there.
