Well, for one thing depending on which set of numbers one uses they either missed badly or exceeded estimates by a wide margin. I think perhaps Market Guide does not take extraordinary items into consideration and posts raw numbers thus the discrepancy with the third quarter numbers which Zacks has as $.11 and Market Guide has at $.24.

This is exactly where the problem is. No one, including IFCI can seem to come up with the numbers for the 4th quarter. For all of you who are talking about the great revenue growth and the backlog and so forth; I only have this to say "the market hates uncertainy". If the numbers for IFCI were as great as you say they were, then the market would have treated it that way!

If you use the previous EPS numbers for the first three quarters of 1998 you have .05 for qtr 1; .09 for qtr 2 and .11 for qtr 3. this adds up to .25 for the first three quarters. Anyway, diluted EPS after Q3 was .31, Just listened to earnings on the net. 4Q looks like .12 which is .02 above whisper. .05 + .24 + .09 = .38 Folks, why are we in reportorial/investigative chaos here?
