Irish, I never expected positive results for Q4. Don't forget that the company announced a $2.8m restructuring in the same PR as Foley resignation. For whatever reason the company lumps these non-recurring costs into SG&A. If you back out the $2.8m, DWCH NI was about a dime per share for the FY. You could also deduct $0.7m restructuring from Q3 but presumably Q4 results would not have been as good according to Foley's quote in the anticipated revenue PR.

What I am surprised about is there was no conference call this quarter, though. I was looking forward to hearing from Gardner now he is running the show, new CFO and others promoted to VP level. OTOH, the company's story is a good one. I have said and still say the company's success depends primarily on market acceptance of Monarch, which is a terrific alternative to data warehousing...if people know about it! Mac sale looks very good too after seeing Mac revenue figure of $6m. That makes the $16.75m sale price = 2.75x revenue which seems very good price for a product line supporting a platform that may not exist a few years from now.

Happy Thanksgiving
Mike
