I just did a quick computation.

For the 4th quarter only:

Revenues: + 19.8%

EPS: -27%

Actual just the 4th quarter:

Revenues: $1,568,677

Earnings: $72,305

EPS: $0.019

As I have said previously I was going to be looking more at revenues than earnings. I didn't expect the earnings
to be impacted as much by the new facility so I was surprised to the low side. But the 19.8% growth in revenues tells the real
story of what is happening. The 19.8% growth in revenues for just the 4th quarter is double the growth rate of the previous 9
months without the new facility. The new facility was open for only about 3/4 of the 4th quarter. So I am happy with that. More product is being sold.

I have to go out for dinner so I will be back on later tonight around 11 pm. I will begin my analysis of the 10K at that time. It will take a while to get it done.

Mark
