Re: Opcode sells EDP Division/Let's Buy It!



Here's my guess for 300 sold/month (assume $400 sales cost):

Assume 30% discount rate
Year | Revenue | Revenue | After-tax | After-tax | PV Earnings
          | Growth  |                | Margin      |  Profit        |
1               0%        1.4M          10%              140,000
$107,700
2             10%        1.54M        10%              154,000       
$91,124
3             10%        1.69M        10%              169,000       
$76,923
4             10%        1.86M        10%              186,000       
$65,123
5             10%        2.05M        10%              205,000      $55,212

              ------------
Total present value of earnings:                                    
$396,082
Terminal Value:
  + $75,000
What You Should Pay For EDP Factory:                       $471,082

              ------------

              ------------

This assumes that (1) that you're pretty confident of selling 300 units per
month,
(2) you think the EDP can hold off competition for the next 5 years and
sustain 10%
growth. I think the terminal value is pretty close for sales assumptions
and market conditions
down the digital road. 

So, if just 20 of us chip in for about the price of a new car, we can OWN
Echoplex! We'd probably
get a free one, or at least a good discount!!
