Re: "No. The write-off was associated with the Visigenic merger:"

Darrell thanks for link. I guess where I'm getting confused (and likewise feel other's can be) is in every area where they state "write-offs" they mention vaguely cost of "fixed assets or cost" I.E. in the March 31, 1999 Annual 10Q they stated under the heading "Gross Margins" the following: "This also resulted in certain fixed costs being spread across lower revenues, as well as by charges related to the write-off of excess inventory."

Then just a bit further down from there under the heading "Restructuring, Merger and Other Non-Recurring Charges" there's another mentions: " $3.2 million to termination of certain lease agreements and the write-off of certain fixed assets"</b?

Then just below that again: " write-offs of certain assets and professional fees."

As you can see it can be confusing as to what those fixed asset costs are for?

Also those forward looking statements are still terrible but I guess that's for legal reasons?
