Roader, I agree with you about the long plans and prospects for ENPT. This was my first conference call with the company and I was very impressed with all envolved, especially the president Susan Bailey and CEO Bob Din. In a way I am glad this was my first call, had I known what I know now a few months ago, I would have been buying more shares all the way down the tube. Now I get to buy at or near the bottom. I hope the market has a knee jerk reaction at the open tomorrow and we can buy at around the $8.50 area! For what it is worth, I have reworked my estimate for next quarter as follows: Estimated sales: $145,000 GP%: 10.5% Gross Profit: 15,225 Selling expense: 8,300 G&A expense: 3,100 Net other: 400 Pre-tax income: 3,425 Taxes: 1,400 Net Income: $2,025 EPS: 0.32 If they have, as someone on the call said, a bonus quarter then sales could come in above $150,000 and EPS could hit $0.38 pretty quickly. The other unknown would be selling expenses which have been growing pretty fast especially in Q198. Unless the wheels fall off in February and March then Q298 should be very strong! (IMHO) Well, good luck and enjoy your day of tomorrow. Sorry you are going to miss a really big day for ENPT stock. Chris ....
