Tad, thanks. If that's the flaw, then I was wrong in assuming that the answer wasn't in the transfers and I want to make the necessary adjustments and run them again. The reason I was making that assumption was the footnote at the bottom of the 12-23-98 PR. (1) The value of the Company's semiconductor memory products included in PC systems and other products is included under "Semiconductor memory products" I took that to mean that they took care of the consolidation considerations. That in terms of "the value of the Company's semiconductor memory products" - "value" would mean the overall value, since their talking "semicon. mem. prods." you could use the GM given for semicon memory products, and you'd match the COGS to where the revs. are classified. But if that's wrong, I want to get it right. The 10-Q puts the value used in PC systems @ $10.3 mil. for 1Q'99. How do you break that down in terms of how much of the revs. end up under semicon and how much under PC systems? And what margins would you use to attempt to derive COGS for each? Or is this one of those cases of (d) not enough information? But my COGS overshoot was a little over 11 mil. and that's 10.3 mil. of "value" in PC systems. I guess my question still is how did whoever put together that press release get 9% gross margins using $428.1 mil. in revenues for semiconductor memory products. Or if perhaps there were certain adjustments that got them to 9% GM on semicon memory products and an overall COGS of 677.7 in both the 10-Q and the 12-23-98 PR what were they? Best Regards, Tom
