On a quick read, the announcement looks to be a very mixed bag, and overall maybe somewhat negative.

Earnings were up 7 cents a share, but the entire 7-cent gain seemed to be the result of a one-time recovery of overcharges for coin-op video game parts. Absent the one-time gain, we're back around the 19 cents from last year's Q2.

Home video game earnings were way up, while coin-op video earnings were way down.

Next quarter is supposed to be down from last year. That looks like a big deal, since the quarter ending 12/31 is such as big part of MWY's yearly earnings.

On the other hand, looks as if MWY is spending a lot on product development, with new machines due out in second half of fiscal year.

It will pay to keep a sharp eye on what insiders (including Redstone) do in the near future. They know better than any of us can how to sort out this mixed bag.
