Any thoughts on earnings anyone?

Here are my concerns. I think that there may be a stagnation in earnings growth this quarter due to . . .
1. The delay of the Taurus launch until next quarter.
2. The accelerated depreciation of Orbcomm.
3. The purchase of Ashtech. Someone said on the Trimble thread that
an analyst estimates ORBI paid 1.5 - 2X trailing revenues for
Ashtech.
4. The poorly received reworked GSC 100 (anecdotal evidence only.)
5. The increased expenses of rolling out several new products.
6. The uncertain impact of CTA on earnings.

Since I do not have a valid model to give an accurate earnings prediction for ORBI with so many uncertainties, can someone help me out? How much, if at all, will the above impact earnings this quarter?

Thanks.
Boda
