The more I look at the numbers published yesterday, the more I can stomach this quarter's disappointing earnings.

Increase in revenue almost matched increase in revenue costs (30.7% to 31.1%). Not bad for a "slow quarter".

In comparison, Raster increased spending on R&D and Sales/Marketing at significantly greater percentages (40.8% and 36.1% respectively). If spending is going to outpace revenues, at least it is in areas like R&D and hopefully bolstering future sales.

If Raster had spent less on R&D and Sales/Marketing this quarter so as to pace revenue costs, they would have saved about $200,000.00. There is your 2 cents per share, and maybe an extra 1 for good luck.

As is, I think they made a good investment on the future.

Well, that's my attempt at a silver lining....

Regards,
Jason
