Still eating beans and pepper, and still holding NETA.

Gang, what we're looking at here is approximately $0.70. Here's what the big deal is. If the SEC has it's way NETA's one-time charges will be reduced by $.70 per share (and its book value will increase by $.70 per share). Future earnings will decrease by around $.025 per share for the next 7 years, bringing the book value per share down by $.70.

This is an accounting issue -- how best to portray the company's results -- not an operational issue! This is a matter of appearance, not substance.

TTFN,
CTC
