yet, one more post by James_Gatz_99 in answering my question of Brainson's estimated 2 cents versus Jonas' 10 censt: <<by: James_Gatz_99 77444 of 77506 I did not listen to the conference call, but read all of the posts pertaining to it yesterday. Based on what people typed, I believe Jonas was referring to the impact of the NTOP loss for the quarter on the IDTC core business (.10 - most likely before taxes). If this is true, when NTOP filed its EPS for the quarter, it would report an operating loss of .10/share - assuming it had the same number of shares as IDTC issued. However, IDTC would report only its share of the loss .10 loss or .08 (roughly 70% - there are some tax issues here that could account for the penny difference & rounding)leaving IDTC company quarterly earnings .02 higher than they actually were reported. Therefore, both men could be speaking about the same amounts, but defining them differently.>> therefore, if the above assumptions are correct then we can expect the bottom line of IDT's report could be improved as much as 2 cents.
