andreas: "Intel Reports First-Quarter Results First-Quarter Earnings Per Share $0.14" I suspect that one should pay close attention to the attached quote from the earnings statement, particularly inasmuch as about $440 million in goodwill amortization is not included in q1/02 vs. q1/01...I'll leave it to the accountants to delineate the significance of the following, though... (1) Acquisition-related costs consist of one-time write-offs of purchased in-process R&D, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs, and, prior to 2002, amortization of goodwill. Intangibles include, for example, the value of the acquired companies' developed technology. Earnings excluding acquisition-related costs differ from earnings presented according to GAAP because they exclude these costs.
