It looks like the news is that this quarter's loss, to be reported about July 27, will be in excess of $0.72, due to larger than anticipated participation in the voluntary separation program. This appears to be a one-time charge and not something that will affect future profitability (except that they'll probably lose some good people). Any thoughts on the financial strength of the company to weather this? I see they have $0.41 per share in cash at last report, but don't have other financials handy.
