>>>Unfortunately, the bulk of the FASB impact is in 1996 restated earnings. Do you think it will help much? There seems to be a penny added to 3Q97, but then nothing added for the first nine months of 1997. This has me confused.<<<

You're not the only one...I thought that the excerpt implied that since the changes were going to be enacted following Dec 31, and it mentioned that 2 -- 6 cents would be added to "the quarter", that it meant the pennies were to be added to 4Q's eps. Now I'm totally confused as well! I tell ya, just glancing at all the legal rhetoric in 10-Ks makes my eyes droop and drool trickle down my chin in sympathy.
