NEXT Q -- EARNING SHORTFALL

let me show u

next q3 & q4, wallst has .19 and .20
which should be in-line or too high b/c:

q2
if u read the financial report in detail, u will notice that there is NO INCOME TAX and f5 earns 18c this q.

my quick calculation shows that ALL losses since inception is used up now.
with 10% sales increase, eps = .18 x 1.1 x (1-30%tax) = 14c only.

** I definitely won't be a buyer until AFTER q3 **

dtong, it is highly unlikely that the FFIV CFO forgot that they have to pay taxes. tp
