Remarks By SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt on earnings..........

<<Increasingly, I have become concerned that the motivation to
meet Wall Street earnings expectations may be overriding common
sense business practices. Too many corporate managers, auditors,
and analysts are participants in a game of nods and winks. In
the zeal to satisfy consensus earnings estimates and project a
smooth earnings path, wishful thinking may be winning the day
over faithful representation.

As a result, I fear that we are witnessing an erosion in the
quality of earnings, and therefore, the quality of financial
reporting. Managing may be giving way to manipulation; Integrity
may be losing out to illusion.>>
