correction: how good were earnings Undiluted?? Net - Gain + 1 time Expense ==> Undiluted $2.3M - $7.8M + $4.5M ==> -$1.0M Undiluted Result: -$0.02 Nobody wants to comment? Board Please confirm: without the Phillips bid and $4.5M expense, earnings would have been nearly $0.10 and really blown away estimates? Then again, without the ARM gain, or the Philips bid, we would have been about -$0.02 SO, based on this, we did NOT meet estimates? *** ....net income in the first quarter was $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share diluted,...... In the first quarter of 1999 VLSI recorded a pretax charge of $4.5 million for expenses relating to the unsolicited tender offer by Royal Philips Electronics. The company recorded pretax gains of $7.8 million in the first quarter of 1999 and $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 1998, primarily as a result of the sale of ARM Holdings Ltd. shares. ***
