So:

1) The 100k-200k figure was BS
2) Stating that all they needed was 100k-200k was BS (which I doubt since you see so many other small/failing shops cling on for years with much less)
3) Upper management wants to get paid.

or the most likely situation

4) This story is BS.

None of your math factors in the fact that developers are lucky to see half the money from a box sale or monthly fee.
