Joshi,
first of all you confused sales with profits. As Zeev already pointed out they did more than $15 Sales per share for this quarter alone.

E-biz sales are rather automated, so if e-biz boosts 490% this consumes less overhead. This should provide for future upward profit momentum.

The banner-ads they sell etc. could make the web-site presence further cost-reduced. Their "specialty-stores" concept is a great-minded idea. I liked that company in the old days - where I used to get their catalog mailed to me here in Europe many times a year. Now with the web-sales-model, I do like them even more. Really, web-sales can be quite high-margin. Prerequisites are: fast server performance, semi- or almost-full automated model and a structured web-presence, where drill-down operations are augmented by search-tools with a marketing-twist. PROG qualifies for all this IMHO. Let's see where the momentum crowd drives our baby..

best regards
CROSSY
