The 1 million shares are paid for, just like they used to on MPEx.
February hasn't been the best month but that can depend on when renewal dates are on servers.
As for becoming profitable, you will notice in an announcement on BTCT.co
Planned Savings:
Chicago 1: 410 USD
Dallas 2: 227 USD
California 1: 259 USD
California IP range: 24 USD
California IP range: 29 USD
California 2: 400 USD
Estimated colocation costs in New York: Up to 600 USD depending on bandwidth/# IPs/extras used by customers.
The servers rent we will be cutting will total 1,349 USD, estimated costs for colocation will be 500-600 USD. A minimum of 700 USD monthly in savings. With more clients/servers, the savings on colocation would be even greater with discounts from the datacenter.
As a side note, there was 1,381.94 USD income in February, not 1129.48 USD. 1129.48 USD is only BTC -> USD conversions at the time. There was also some sales in USD.
We have a much better month for March to top it, you can wait for the March statement. We also have a new design at no costs. We'll still have to pay for servers rent on top of it, hopefully only for one more month, while we get in touch with every customers and get them transferred. With the savings we can pay the debt for the equipment and after a few months we'll be turning in a profit.
Regards.
