I like the way they matter-of-factly stated revenue will be $ 56M for the quarter. Someone must of forgotten to add: that is 40-45 % decline from prior quarter. Like being shot in the head and then someone telling you they are sorry to mess your hair.

I believe HMTT had production shut downs in the last two months. The Company is not just implementing the shut downs this week and next week. My guess is $8M in net income giving them around a dime and a nickel for EPS.

RE: >>> Wow Dale! Have you tried to work that out??? Not possible with only $56mil in rev. A penny or two at most <<< My "dime" EPS remark was a reflex response to the news. I simply did a quick mental ball-park calculation based on last quarter's report: (figuring all numbers remain unchanged except for revenues ($56 mil) and guessing at a rough 4 point drop in GM. The result is about a dime. One think to keep in mind is that HMT accounted for the production slowdown by having employees use vacation or taking time off without pay. Regards - Dale
