Request for Question Clarification by jbf777-ga on 06 Feb 2003 10:04 PST

Hello -

I'm afraid the specifics of your question would be extremely
difficult, if not nearly impossible to address.  Most companies who
are privately held don't even disclose their financial data, let alone
a breakdown of that detail level.  I do, however, have a resource to
track financial data in the following categories for private
companies:

Revenue 
Cost of Goods Sold
Gross Profit
Gross Profit Margin 
SG&A Expense
Depreciation & Amortization
Operating Income
Operating Margin
Total Net Income
Net Profit Margin 
Diluted EPS ($)

I don't know if you'd be willing to settle for something like that. 
You may consider dropping part 2 and reposting it after you get an
answer to part 1.

need the information as listed in Part I.

We can forget about part II for now

to thv

if you could come up with average order size by vendor, and % split
internet/catalog then we would be fine for Part I .2

thanks

hi again,

do you happen to also have information about average order size for
the people you mentioned in your last comment?

Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 10 Feb 2003 16:59 PST

Sorry, shark, I can't find that information for the companies that I
have on the list.

Hi

We appreciate your offer and while this doesn't answer the question,
the information you already have would be of some use to us.  We would
be willing to pay $25 for the information you have.

Let us know if that works

Thanks

---

Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 23 Feb 2003 20:29 PST

Sorry for the late reply.  $25 seems fair.  You can post a new
question and in the question state that it is for me and I will post
the answer and you can leave this one open in case another Researcher
can find the specific information for you.

Regards,

-THV
