Jeff, I could be wrong, but I believe the confusion arises from the "diluted" (new) accounting and the "undiluted" (old) accounting. The consensus was indeed .25 (diluted) and .27 (undiluted). ASND reported .26 (diluted) which was indeed a penny over. Most people are now going on the "diluted" number, which is troublesome only in that it can be confusing (there are now 2 numbers, not one) and it is difficult to know if the past numbers have been corrected to reflect the new accounting method. Overall, I like the idea of a "diluted" number since it gives a more accurate picture in theory, but I hope that it will not be construed as a "creative" vehicle. I'm not sure when the new "diluted" numbers are scheduled to be the only numbers.
