On Mon, 5 Aug 2002 16:40:15 -0500, a loud, wet, greasy cloud erupted
from the shorts of  "Dan J.S." <me@hyperx.com> . Smiling at the crowd
this rather unsavory individual proudly proclaimed:

not necessarily, Ford lost 1.5 billion from *projected* revenue for
the 2nd quarter.  That's a far cry from not making any money.  They
still made a butt load of money, just not as much as they had hoped.
I project I'll make 100 million next year.  I'll probably "lose" about
99.9 million.  ;-)

9 million in annual revenues needs to be defined.  Net? Gross?  What
are their operating costs?  Before my company went defunct (due to a
large number of deadbeat dot.com clients unable to pay their
invoices), we had 150 employees and grossed over 20 million annually
with about half being  net profit.  And we did *that* on less than a
third of they employees they have.

If nothing else, I would contact the States Attorney General and
inquire about this "business".  See if there has been any recent
complaints/judgements/charges filed against the company.  Also
they should be able to tell exactly what this company does.  If the
company can't tell you what they do/sell, they're hiding something and
you have every right to be  wary.

Sounds like they were just a couple of steps away from making you
pay out some sum of money...that's probably where a significant
portion of the 9 mil comes from.
