I agree Dave. The PR did say $96mil. But then the Jul 10Q was still talking about spending $140mil on CapExp for the year. Somehow, either you and I don't know what "CapExp" is or they didn't spend as much as expected. In the 10Q: <<Capital expenditures for the nine months ended June 28, 1997 were $66.0 million. In addition, the Company leased $21.0 million of production equipment through operating leases for the same period. During fiscal 1997>> and in the 10/23/97 PR: <<Capital expenditures for the year ended September 27, 1997, were $96.1 million. In addition, the Company leased $35.3 million of production equipment through operating leases during fiscal 1997>> My guess is that the leasing costs are lumped in here. Any financial weenies want to help out a "numerically challenged SI poster child?" todd

Another question about book value. Will companies that have property in Asia be forced to recalculate the value of the property based on currency exchange rates or will they carry the inflated values?
