>>>Could you please qualify your eps. If I suggest $6M in revenue at a 10% net profit margin we are at $600K in earnings. Divided by 29M shares I arrive at an EPS of .02 per share.<<< You are obviously in this stock for different reasons than 99 % of the posters on this thread. A 10% profit margin , amortized over 100 years wouldn't cover the lifetime SI membership fee. Just kidding !!!HAHA .. When the numbers start rolling out( sales into the high single digit millions) we are all going to feel ashamed about the net profit margin of this company. Hand over mouth ...what did I say...thureoithjsiptx % net profit margin..don't be surprised, on the upside !!!!!!! gregor

Glad to hear you discussing potential earnings per share in the two-cents-per-share-PER-YEAR range, because upon reflection some of the discussions here earlier talked about seeing maybe a penny per share for this quarter alone. That doesn't seem very likely. A penny per share, with 29 million shares, is $290,000 earnings for this quarter. That is $90+ thousand per month. And just six months ago, that was the entire monthly budget for the company (more or less). The real key for the announcement of April's quarter will simply be that it is the first profitable quarter in the history of the company ... and not the amount of the profitability. I would hate for anyone on this thread to become disappointed when such unrealistic earnings expectations are not met (when announced) and do something they will regret later ... like prematurely sell their shares in the company. What am I looking for in terms of quarterly earnings per share -- anything north of zero. Yup! That's my battle cry: "Anything north of zero!" At least until next quarter <grin>. JSb.
