So they made 137.000 dollars per day ? That sounds like a lot...

100,000 potatoes

" In the first quarter of 2013"

I wonder if they convert money into polish currency at all, don't payments go to some place in the Mediterranean? Cyprus I think it was, great way to dodge taxes :)

I think it is net profit for 1st quarter.

Oh... That's not very much :P
