Jalali, was correct in predicting yesterday that an additional $500,000 plus would be capitalized as 'investment in product development'. Total amount capitalized for the Ardes 2K product now stands at $1,791,000. Last year the company 'estimated' that they would defer only $1,500,000. As I am sure Jalali will report seperately, DDIM would have shown a loss of several cents per share this quarter had they not deferred an addition $543,000 in expenses. |
