<<Sector, I was referring to the last 4 quarters where revenues grew from $35.6 million to $48.4 million (a growth rate of 36% annualized), and earnings went from 17.3 cents to 25.0 cents an increase of 44% annualized. Therefore, 40% growth predicted seems very reasonable.>> I don't understand your math. True $0.25 is 44% larger than $17.3 But it seems to me you have to look at the real annual numbers. 1996 46 cents (.09 + .10 + .11 + .16) 1997 88 cents (.19 + .21 + .23 + .25) - an increase of 42 cents. 42/46 = 91.3% growth.
