There's also the expenses for the other 62.5% of the contract, the taxes paid on the profits, and the business development to get the contract in the first place.

I don't actually know how these things are calculated, though.

Good points. They are certainly not making out after the fines. Now I wonder, if the fine is tax deductible?
