Checkmate:We certainly have a superb portfolio of excuses to justify each Quarter. For this Q it is a:Domestic shortfall b:Softness in Federal sales c:Weakness in Asia and Latin America d:Gross margins decrease e:Operating Pressures f:Inventory related changes. g:Product pricing & product mix impacts. It is important to note that whilst Sales have decreased the cost of goods has increased together with SG&A. The treatment by the street has been different probably because the quality of the Mgmt and products are at variance from expectations. Three Q's have been sub par . I do hope that CS and its employees will avail of this last chance. The street will certainly be less forgiving if it does not.
