You could answer Patler's question with the available facts. But the number would be virtually meaningless, unless you know how much the asset has appreciated over the purchase price, you know nothing about the value of the operation.

And without the books, the numbers can be easily manipulated. And they have been before.

To answer again Patler's much older question about whether I have ever known how much the owner's of a company make, the answer is yes, twice. Once with a large company and again with a small privately owned outfit. In both instances, the financial statements were gone over for every unit each quarter. It very much puts the employees in a position to think about the health of the company in decisions they make.
