Reasons why next quarter may not be so good . . . .

(1) Japan is getting killed, so surveying sales suffer.
(2) Car navigation unit sales flat as Japan shifts from retrofitting (Pioneer area of market) to OEM (where Pionee/TRMB has less presence).
(3) Company management and staff adrift during quarter until permanent replacement is found for CEO.
(4) Timing is coming on line, but I don't think it will amount to enough revenue to turn things around this quarter.

I am still optimistic long-term, and I think the stock is suffering from events that will correct in the not very distant future, but we may see problems for a quarter or two.
