<<Management predicted .25 for 1Q, leaving .91 for the 2Q-4Q '98 (based on $1.16 1998 FY estimate per Ashby). Based on the predicted "sequential" revenue growth picking up in 2H 98, and based upon the linear digression of gross margins, the last three Qs of 98 may look something like this: 2Q 1998: .27 (vs. .31 in 2Q 1997) = -12% EPS growth 3Q 1998: .30 (vs. .20 in 3Q 1998) = 50% EPS growth 4Q 1998: .34 (vs. .24 in 4Q 1998) = 42% EPS growth>> Yes. I was going to post those exact numbers this morning. Those are the minimums for now. I expect Ashby to tell the analysts (and us) the exact revised range (1-2 cents range) about 2-3 months ahead, and then come in at the higher figure each time. I suspect those numbers will move up during 1998, but they won't go lower Nice concept, huh?
