Re: Ad expense

Michael, you responded to Rocky:

>>> Glad to see you have effectively declared yourself ineligible for the Bright Bastard Award. "Even if ad campaign never happened, IOM would still have not have scored a profit." Duh..... Q1 loss was $18MM. Q1 incremental ad expense was $20MM. <<<

Actually, Rocky was correct. Iomega posted a loss of over $28 million before showing a $10 million income tax benefit. If you were to exclude the $20 million incremental ad expense, their net loss would have still been over $5 million (2 cents per share).

Regards - Dale
