It's the latest trend....

Instead of a P/E ratio they need to state a P/L ratio !

Zaki mentioned in last-months-pure-proforma-non-earnings announcement that there "may be additional expenses" which sounded like minor fine-tuning.... nothing of this magnitude.

What's next ? No DOCSIS inclusion ? Delisting ? A slow spiral into a non-entity ? Something less than zero ?

There is no relationship between market capitalization and balance sheet values. The acquisitions written off were acquired with overvalued stock. Keeping them on the balance sheet would be a burden on future earnings. I consider the writeoffs positive for the stock.
