Well, what a result! I'd predicted .20 after the last quarter (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12703495) but I'd started to doubt my numbers after the analysts failed to revise their estimates. As it was, sales were rather lower than I'd expected, but cost of selling, general & admin expenses were barely higher than last time - excellent. And there's an extra 100m in the bank now as well which I guess should contribute another .08 or so over the next quarter. I'm now feeling a whole lot better about holding on over the last week or two...
