Don't forget this is a bigger company in 1998 than in 1997.

Although the SG&A costs are up from 1997, they represent 18.4% of sales in the most recent quarter vs. 15% in the same quarter in 1997. It also compares favorably witht the 18.5% reported in the March quarter. That is not a "doubling" of SG&A, but reflects the continuing cost of integrating the recently merged Xyplex.

Remember compare apples to apples.
