Hi Joe & EKS...About Revenues & EPS

>>As far as I rememeber Q1 was a "clean quarter". Q2 is for sure a "clean quarter". Salah will probably jump on this one for an absolutely correct response to that question, if I know him the way I think I do.

And lastly, yes, I believe Q's 1 and 2 of this fiscal year are similar comparisons with regard to sequential growth, or non-growth. Again, Salah will probably jump in on this.<<

Since Q3-96, all revenues and EPS don't include Unix or WP. Here are the numbers:

Q3-96: Revenues 365M & EPS .17 (13 weeks)
Q4-96: Revenues 384M & EPS .17 (13 weeks)
Q1-97: Revenues 375M & EPS .15 (14 weeks)
Q2-97: Revenues 300M - 335M (12.6 weeks)

Don't forget they extended Q1-97 by 5 working days as I discussed previously to make the results look better than what they were. This resulted in 12.6 weeks for this quarter instead of 13 weeks. However, the working days for Q1-97 and Q2-97 are about the same, because of the holidays.

The only good thing out of this fiasco, maybe they start doing something.

Regards

Salah
