Tom re <<what is included in the write offs>> I am thinking of what is said in the third paragraph of the Company Press Release at: biz.yahoo.com
Namely "Excluding amortization, acquisition and other charges in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 of $58,063,000 and $214,883,000, adjusted net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 would have been $25,175,000 and $45,885,000. Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, excluding the effect of the amortization, acquisition and other charges, would have been $.34 and $.64 per share. |
