Troy--

The problem with the analysis is that scrap and obsolete inventory also go to the cost of sales line item. So if a company had large scrap or took large reserves for excess and obsolete inventory during the quarter, gross margins would look poor.

That's why I was curious how they spun the negative gross margin to the analysts.

--Ryan

All, just how much of a loss does SyQuest sell their drives for?
