Yes, but he also said that their is still NOL and that will be used. I am very confused about what conference call you listened to that said the bottom line growth rate was going to decrease???? Be careful posting comments like that without having a good understanding of accounting and what was said. Brian H.

<< If Farrel's prognostications are correct, then THQ's reported earnings for 1999 will be ~$2.10. Which means that reported earnings likely will be up only $.10 year over year. >> Farrell made no such prognostications. The analysts are making them. Farrell is being asked about his comfort level with those. He said something like "People have been projecting 20% growth rates for us and out competitors in 99 and I see no reason why we can't grow at least at those rates." << ~$1.75. The 20% increase for next year would then be from that base. Hmm. We reduce 1998 earnings so we can come up with a 20% growth rate. Hey, that's pretty good. >> Come on. Farrell simply reminded the audience that what matters is growth of operating earnings per share. This is reasonable and absolutely standard.
