Yea...Q to Q / 1997 to 1998 they increased Quarterly sales 12 Mil and put 8 Mil of that on the bottom line...which is 75%. Didn't they say in the confrence call that they would be putting 50% of the e-comm revenue increases to the bottom line? Take a good look at the table...how are they going to go backwards from 75% to 50%? Somebody want to explain that one to me? I thinks the 50% is conservative by 50%. Message 4496853

Maybe that table is too complicated...I'm looking at these 2 lines. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, ---------------------- --------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- -------- Operating Revenue: Electronic Commerce $ 36,080 $ 24,330 $ 99,046 $ 57,915 Operating Income (Loss): Electronic Commerce $ 587 $ (7,273) $ (515) $ (16,421) Now do you see it? This past quarter vs a year ago. e-comm revs up by ~12 Mil...and ~8 Mil when to bottom line? ie going from -7.273Mil to +587 = 7.860 Mil+ on bottom line on a 11.750 Mil increase in revs. 7.860 / 11.750 = 66.89% of Q revenue when right to bottom line? So it's not 75%...Its still 34% more than 50%.
