I wonder if Business Week is going to ask her opinion again, in the future? businessweek.com Her Mom and Dad probably bought copies of the Magazine for all their relatives! I mean.. Do these people really have to go to school, or at least take a training class to be an Analyst! I hope they don't pay her much money! Because, she obviously didn't do much more than napkin calculations with a 4 function calculator to arrive at her "forecast". PCSTEL

PCSTEL: I am assuming that these EBITDA numbers include the non-cricket SG&A of about $35 million which has been ascribed to Leap in several places in the 10K. Is that correct? Arun >>My numbers from an earlier post for numbers required IF the covenants were not relaxed by 1 Quarter ---Q1---------Q2---------Q3---------Q4-------- (27.95).......(2.5).......+19.2.....+46.20...... 4 quarter trailing EBITDA ........+35.0...... Message 17241733 However, the new numbers show that 27 million is the 4 Quarter trailing EBITDA they are looking for. (27) (0) +9 +45=27 Based on this information. I would suggest that EBITDA loss for Q1 will be around 40 million ~($1.10) down from ~($3.20) in Q4. With about 400 million in the bank.>>
