Yeh, I noticed. Looking here:
 Three Months Ended
                                    March 31,               March 31,
                                      1998                   1997

        Revenues                     $324,850                $308,388
        Costs and expenses:
          Cost of revenues            183,106                 164,120
          Research and development     63,842                  50,384
          Selling, general and
           administrative              43,752                  45,058
            Total costs and expenses  290,700                 259,562

        Income from operations         34,150                  48,826
        Interest expense                   --                  (1,497)
        Interest income and other       6,460                   6,087
        Income before income taxes     40,610                  53,416
        Provision for income taxes     10,167                  15,009

I can see that since they knew the revenues coming in during the
quarter, they did a good job on "Selling, general and administrative"
costs (this is where most companies fail), but did a poor job on the
other expenses. I wonder about the "Provision for income taxes", looks
a little low. If not for the low figures for taxes and administrative,
we might be going down for a test of the stock low.

Anyone else notice the substantial jump in R&D spending?

Daniel, I,m a VERY long term investor in LSI. I buy dips, hold, and accumulate for retirement in approx. 15 years.
But it looks to me like it cost them 31 mil. to make 16 mil?
Check the year to year COST AND EXP. vs REV. year over year.
