    Nick, just checked out the new website. If you have so much work backed up that new custom orders take six to eight weeks to execute _and_ the business is going bankrupt you have a fundamental problem in the supply chain, operations or logistics that no amount of new orders is going to overcome.

    I don't envy you.

    Your looms could produce how many yards each day under ideal conditions?

    Your daily overhead is what number?

    So assuming 100% equipment and staff efficiency (that ain't going to happen), and two months of production presold on the books, to break even you have to sell cloth at $/GBP_____ per meter.

    You don't have to tell me what the number is, but clearly that selling price is a higher number than the current going rate.

    I think I better call Matt and get my order in before you do what you have to do.
