In addition, we have the following press release, issued on the 9th. August, prior to their Q3 results which ultimately showed good numbers in terms of an 18% increase in Revenue and about 60% increase in Pretax Income .....

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported earnings for its third fiscal quarter and nine months ended July 2, 2011.

Diluted EPS for the nine-months ended July 2, 2011 was $1.93 compared to $1.60 in the prior-year period.
