John, I used a margin of 41.53%, the exact same margin they had last qtr. It will not be higher then that especially since the revenue is declining. All that is left to deduct is the overhead. It has been increasing over the last several quarters and I assumed there will be no increase from last quarter. The shares outstanding I used is what the company just used in the last quarter. The company posts their results in this format. Change the numbers as you see fit but reference back to what they just reported. I have not heard of any layoffs to reduce the overhead or stock buy backs.
In the 2nd qtr of last year they posted .20 on revenue of about 27 million, but the overhead was much smaller then (it is 46% more today then then) and the shares outstanding were less.

john, sorry to say that david is correct in his pro forma if we assume a revenue of 26 million.

it is incorrect to begin a projection with a net profit margin. the operating expenses are more or less fixed and any drop in revenue will lead to a radical drop in net income. PWAV needs a heckuva lot more than 26 million to earn $0.20 per share.
