The earnings came out .. as expected the management didn't care to beat the estimates by more than a cent. They figured it doesn't matter in the current market conditions. Thanks Adam, for updating us about the conference call. I'd be curious to see what analysts say tomorrow. A good point here .. - estimates for fiscal 2001 are 22c/share (they already made 15c in 9 months, they can easily make 9c in the fourth qtr, which is usually their best qtr) I've few questions .. hope experts on this thread can clarify. - BEAS split twice this year, how do these splits affect estimates (earnings/share)? - I see an item 'deferred revenues' in their balance sheet. $179,127,000 in deferred revenues is not a small amount. Does it mean, they are not booking these revenues this quarter? What does this line item mean? Thanks in advance. - Zelix
