Ken,

How in the heck do you expect 3DO to make .38c this quarter? And while you're at it, please explain to me how 3DO is valued 33% higher than THQ. We made 32 million last year. 3DO will be happy (and lucky) to break even. I'm really curious where the analysts got these numbers. Or did Trip forget he is supposed to warn?

To make .38, you'd need 16 million net. Last quarter, during the holidays no less, you made 1.4 million on 40 million in sales, a paltry NPM of 3.4%. Now, let's say somehow you can get that NPM up to 10%. You'd still need 160 million in sales or 300% more than what you did during the holidays. I just don't get it. Please explain what I'm missing.

Thanks,

Vic
