Wow, gave up on getting replies - came back today to a ton of them.
Basically, there is an affiliate program (not adult), and 400 websites paying about $400/year between hosting and domains.
The affiliate program is used almost exclusively by the sites we host, but almost none of them get commission off it. (profit this month was like $14k)
Costs of running the company are pretty minimal - there is a program who is part owner, and a secretary. A lot of the money is pulled out as owners salaries, but if the company was purchased, all it would need is a secretary and a full/part time programmer, and possibly a sales person depending on whether you were trying to grow the company or just collect the residuals. Company has offices, few assets, ect. but those could all be gotten rid of.
Your basically bringing in 320k / year, and would need 2 employees to run everything. If you wanted to have a sales force, a designer, ect. and actually try and grow the company - that would be an option too, as you'd basically be selling cookie-cutter websites out of an already-made CMS system.
