I read that 200k was the cost that bnter had incurred because of the deal. I don't know what else there could be other than legal fees. Maybe a lease for a much bigger space that they had needed.
Wasn't there the salary of a new employee who would not have been hired at that stage?
There's also opportunity costs for having to try to make the deal work. They had to spend time on the deal as opposed to something else the company needed.
