I do the arithmetic, but I also notice that in the last four quarters they have a -44% (that's negative) profit margin. The quarter before that, which is still showing up in some summary of the nicer-looking PE and margin calculations, had a $10 million gain on the sale of assets. I've seen some of the posts here implying (intentionally or otherwise) that the $10 million might actually be recurring - it's not.

I believe XML will be the next hot sector and I like the deals this company is doing but I'm not as bullish about the numbers because before they do anything else they have to learn how to make money.

Can anybody shed more positive light on them then I've been able to?
