TQR, the bad (and very bad) news in that report was sky high expense and lowered revenue in CPS (Customer Premise Systems) at the same time. The expense was not onlty higher for CPS, it was also higher for administrative. That means the management was not doing too well, at least for the last quarter. Also it sounded to me that their customers are trying to use web-based system while TALX' specialty is in the voice area. So it can't be worse than that. A lot of people were expecting a small profit. It was a total surprise on the down side that they lost money ! The only good news in this report, however, is their Work Number revenue which shows real strength. But in percentage basis, it is still too small when compared with other business. It can be tough before the release of next quarter's results but hopefully next Q will be better.
