Playing with some more numbers: If TLC's sales drop by 50% from the Dec96 sales ($106 million to $53 million) and their net profit margin drops from 25.5% to 15%, due to pricing pressures, the strong dollar and slowing demand, they would come up with about .18 EPS, which the market would not like at all IMHO.

Of course, these are all junk figures. I am just playing "what-if" games. Who knows, they may surprize everyone and come out with gangbuster earnings and good product releases.

Does anyone know if TLC ever gave a pre earnings "good" or "bad" news release in the past?
