Melissa, Yes, you read the 11% correctly. Although it is a big drop from prior estimates of around 40%, it makes sense given the 25-35% growth guidance for top-line revenues in 1999. If you use the following table of revenues in $millions, you can plug in whatever growth estimates you want for any two of: total revenues, licenses, and services. Based on the two you plug in, the third one results. In this example, I've plugged in 30% total growth and 44% services growth. The result is 11% license growth. Q3-98 12 month projection Licenses 147 163 (11% growth) <-- result Services 204 293 (44% growth) <-- plug ---- ---- Total 351 456 (30% growth) <-- plug Tom
