Component shortages were forseen in last quarters conference call. I believe that there was some discussion about foundries having trouble producing enough ASICs as well, because reservations had to be made quite far in advance.

I see one thing beyond the component shortages which worries me slightly in a backwards kind of way. $93mm in licenses and royalties and a proforma of roughly .86 times 150 mm shares =~$129mm. That is only $36mm on sales of $900mm from all quarters other than royalties/licenses. Margins don't sound all that good for omnitracs, handsets, asics, etc.

Am I missing something?
