MM: The $.22 EPS reflects the "benefit" of off-setting normal income taxes with tax-loss-carryforward "reserves." When AOL took that write-down a year or two ago, they built up a large loss which acts as a credit against earnings today that would otherwise be taxed away. The $.17 "after adjustment" shows what the EPS would have been under a normal tax basis. The $.17 is what the analysts and most investors will consider the real number and basis for valuation.
