Your math is wrong. Reason, the report cites ASP at the end of the period, not average ASP for the period. So, your are substituting a stock item (end of period ASP) for a flow item (revenues). So your point about declining revenues is conjecture, and in fact would require the ASP{ drop to have occurred entirely at the beginning of the period. But taking a more reasonable position would be to suppose that average ASP dropped 7.5% during the period. (15%/2) So now we would have revenues at 1.15(.925)= 1.06375 for an increase in revenues of 6.375%. Thanks for your help with the math. The devil is in the details. TTFN, CTC
