I've got different EPS figures for last year's Fourth Quarter for PERLF, depending on the sources. Baseline figures, which tend to exclude extraordinary charges, point to a loss of $0.12 for Q4 of last year, but the Company's 10-K shows a profit of $0.17. I wish I could see the 3 month-period earnings report for Q4 of last year, but instead, it is bundled up with the whole year's figures, so it's hard to see where that profit bulge came from. Tell me if I'm committing an Analyst's Cardinal Sin, but I've pretty much written it off and am looking for the company's forward performance. At my current estimate of $0.17 for this year, PERLF trades at 11 times earnings. As for next year's estimates, I don't have any written up yet, but will tentatively go with $0.24 (a slight downward adjustment from next year's First Call analyst estimates of $0.27).
