Just skimmed through the 10K filing. Way too much stuff for me to understand. Any CPA's out there? Did find this interesting paragraph about costs and gross margins: Costs and Gross Margin Total costs increased $1,258 million, or 8.4% compared with the same period in 1997 due to the increase in sales volume. Gross margin percentage increased to 46.4% from 43.5% in the year-ago period. The increase in gross margin percentage for the current period was due to an overall favorable mix of higher margin products and services sales.
