Skip, isn't that profit formula a little rich? Every extra million dollars equates to four cents per share revenue, and two cents profit per share represents a net incremental profit margin of 50%. That sounds closer to the gross margin, and seems high, especially when you consider a good deal of the increase would be coming from a government contract.
