Read it all now, not all of the economics in detail and not all the notes, but imo it looks good! They will have a hard time but if the new planets get their marketing done nice and when Planet Calypso also is sold and marketed by the new owner things will turn!
They kind of say that they intend to work out the rest of the year with the sell of the facility in Germany. They also will get monthly payment from a planet partner based on their deal, (1.6M USD left to pay).
The turn over has of course went down for 2k9 to 50 664 000 from 66 625 000 in 2k8. Though there are some interesting numbers concerning us in there...
Payment from customers:
2009: 68 863 225 SEK
2008: 66 918 359 SEK
This is for the whole concern (Mindark PE AB) which includes FPC.
Payment from customers:
2009: 57 448 559
2008: 66 918 359
This just for the mother ship, MA
...
All in all I think it's fairly sure to say that they had good incomes from the player base for all of 2009 as a whole, guess it went down with the release of VU10, which they talk about and that is still the case for the first quarter of 2010 and is slowly getting into pace...
...
Now for the interesting bits that might be to value for our playing, not that they are good on keeping the schedule but here is for a hoping!
Styrelsen förväntar sig att användandet och därmed intäkterna kommer att
stiga när samtliga system är uppgraderade och nya system tillförs under hösten 2010.
This basically says that the board expects the usage of entropia too increase again when
all systems are upgraded and new are implemented during the fall of 2010.
I hope the bold part is true, and that it could be interpreted that we will again see the old systems back in business during fall!
MindArk räknar med att Next Island kommer att etableras under sommaren och Creative
Kingdoms planet till hösten.
Mindark counts on the establishing of Next Island during the summer and Creative Kingdom at fall.
