Of greater significance than Mr. Schneider's confirmation that October revenue was greater than $62 million was his comment that the quarter will not be back-end loaded.

This statement considered in conjunction with his mention of being comfortable with $290 million in revenue and .23 per share infers that the distribution of revenue and earnings will follow a more normal pattern.

I recall several posts following the 8K release mentioning what these percentages were. I'd like to do the calculations if anbody has these figures. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that Octobers revenue was probably $80 - 85 million with EPS of .07 - .08.

I believe that an earnings surprise (to the upside) is in the making.

I stand corrected. Thank you sector. However, I doubt the margins have increased since July, but you are correct that my conclusion was an implied conclusion.
