I take it either way.Normal operations - they lost.04 After writedowns they lost .24. After writedowns they owe the government a whole lot less in taxes .That's why the cash jumped so nicely.Indicative of very saavy bottomline management.In short, they have money to grow with or acquire a high growth company that is cash starved( but has a neat technology).Cohu needs to have an acquisition or somebody is going to go after their cash(understanding they have a poison pill). Most importantly the acquisition must fit.Nice to see their new board member is from an M&A/finance background. Good things coming to these rich/smart people! IMHO Bob
