WAPCO did not have a "revenue issue", I believe the loss they declared had a lot to do with high interest expense/operating expense. Even if we imagine a 70% net profit margin (who dash dem that kind margin?), they need a revenue of N4.6B to achieve that PAT. Do you see them hitting N4.6B from N107M? NSL's Q1 ended in March, so hopefully, they'll release some numbers soon.

But like you said, let's see what will happen.
Nice one hipsy99,

Infact, they probably dint get hit much on depreciation as the additions were during the period (FY07). The full effect of dep charge wd tell in FY 08, except they decide to put d useful life of those POS terminals at 10yrs as against d convention 4yrs for electronic equip.
