After one month in operation the Khanid Bookstore has given its first full-month statement. The figures show a sales volume that exceeds expectations by almost 10% and a turnover that is a multiple of what was expected.
The figures below show the estimated figure in brackets
Sales Volume (pieces): 1095 (1000)
Turnover (millions): 599(50)
Profit before taxes and special items (millions): 99,7 (10)
ASP (ISK): 547,381 (50,000)

The full statement is at the Investors section or our igb website.
As a group, Industry had the highest number of skillbooks sold. As a skill, Exhumers was the main contributor to the turnover and profit figures. Added to the offering as an afterthought, it has proven to be a steady seller.
A breakdown over skills looks like this:

The Bookseller, CEO of the Khanid Bookstore, could not be found for a statement. Sources close to him suggested that on seeing the result he started a party from which he has not yet sufficiently recovered. We will publish his statement when it becomes available.
The Bookstore's main shareholder expressed his delight at all components of the result: "This is one complete success story. Every target has been overtaken by reality. The sales volume can only be interpreted as a token of acceptance and gratitude from the entire population of Khanid Kingdom for this venture. As an investor I can only say that this is the best investment I have made in my career. When I heard about it I believed in the concept although I felt that the profit margin was a bit on the low side, but the concept has been vindicated in all respects. When The Bookseller is available again I will personally present him with a small token of our appreciations. We have built a more suitable ship for him and named it the Librarian One."
The next monthly report will be published in the first week of June. |
