[TenTec] Misc. Orion comments

[Thomas Jednacz]

That is a number that is used when you are selling through a distribution
chain. I think that Ten Tec's ratio is much lower. When we sold high volume
products directly to an OEM, our multiplier was 1.3 to 1.5 and we made a
nice margin. No middle man, no significant marketing or sales and it kept a
nice constant load on the factory.

> Manufactured cost X 5 = Retail price.

Manufactured cost = prime product assembly labor
and materials,  only.

For a Growing company,  x 6 those two factors alone
will pay all other costs,  marketing,  equipment, G&A, rent,
etc., etc. and also enough profit to keep on investing
in new products and employees.  Tain't all profit and pocket
money,  hi.
