Scott, Looks like the analyst are being too conservative in the 1st quarter. Operations don't look to be seasonal, so if sales can stay above the $8 million level, EQNX should be able to at least $0.32. But a little sequential growth in the equation and we beat the $0.35 earned in the 4th quarter. Does this company have a conference call along with the release of earnings? Chris ...

Scott, I much rather prefer the analysts providing conservative estimates than the opposite. It keeps the track record clean and allows for the greater volatility in earnings that small cap stocks are subject to. The earnings projections I provided were only reflective of the cumulative analyst expectations for the stock. Since the company has a history of exceeding estimates, I do not expect that the trend will be broken this quarter. But of course, we'll never know until the numbers are released. Regards, Rainier
