No, fiscal 2000 revs were $171 million. Over a 4 year basis, it has to rise 55 % p.a. to 1 billion in 4 years. I agree that eps can be all over the place, esp. since an rapidly growing company has to heavily invest (this is the reason for many analysts to look more to the top line in periods of extreme growth - companies probably promote this to stabilize their stock pattern). But in the end, regardless of EPS volatility, it catches up with the averages if the margins don't deteriorate. So far, the operating margins are pretty stable over the course of WRS history, so if the top line continues at a breathtaking pace, we have a lot higher to go over each of the next 4 years. Sincerely, Ben
