Ted - I'm glad you quoted the discussion 4 vs. 6 cents calculation. Real earnings is 6 cents. Ram

Ted/ All: so the 64K question is, which number will work its way out to the street tomorrow morning? The "real" 6 cents earnings per share or the "after the one-time dividend to preferred shares" earnings of 4 cents per share. Your comment that an analyst was going to pursue this question after the CC leaves me hopeful that at least one analyst won't be recommending a sell, nor will others who heard the CC and picked up on this important point.

>>Therefore the financial officer stated that the earnings could alternately be stated as $.06/share as follows($195,000+$260,000)/7,583,000=$.06/share).<< If there was an alternative manner in reporting earnings, the question is why wouldn't the CFO do that? The $.06 could then have have met. Another question is which alternative is correct?
