Last quarter, there was that huge jump in royalty. The strange thing is that it was just a one-time event.

FWIW....I thought this was strange as well. My understanding was that the recognition/receipt of royalties lags the sale of the product by a couple of months. If that is correct, the seasonality shouldnt have been pronounced as they implied it was going to be.

The fourth quarter always displays disproportionately high revenues and profits. How do you know that the fourth quarter royalties aren't always high, perhaps because of how they are accounted by customers by agreement?
