Let's have an earnings and subscriber growth contest.

I remember CF mentioned, when they started Yahoo deal, that it would cost them 4c in earnings. So my guess is earnings will be 0 to 1c. BTW, it shouldn't surprise analysts. I don't think growth accelerated significantly in April - June period. I'd be happy with 7%.
IMHO, it is very important how they will handle the very first news release. It usually comes in 1-2 lines only. If Bloomberg's line looks like: "CKFR reports 1c which is 4c below expectations", then we are f@#%&d. Big time.
If it says: "Record revenues, so many new billers in production directly with CKFR and in partnership <BILLS, etc>. Growth kept accelerating in July." Then we might even see a pop. Would be nice to hear, finally, the date when the portals go in production. At least the first one.

Anyway, for the purpose of the contest my guess is 0.01 and 7%.
