Huh, seems like a perfect representation that very little money actually went to development to me!
Sounds like they didn't do their sums. Also how did they spend so much money on incorporation, costs about £25 ($40) over here.

Spending $6000 on music counts 100% as "to development" and is perfectly reasonable. For PAX if anything they should have spent more money to create a bigger presence.
For not-very-well known composers, I've been quoted in the range of $150-250/minute for music. I assume that if I went a bit higher up the chain (small-time, but established) that the price would rise.
Edit: I know that film isn't the same as game development, but I feel that the multidisciplinary aspect of game creation incurs costs in a far wider arena than traditional software development.
You can do it pretty cheaply over here too... but it's a good idea to get a lawyer involved, and you get what you pay for.
That makes me droll. Costs around $500~1k here.
