An excerpt:
" We actually put an operating model in place whereby all of the business units
spend as a function of what revenue we produce from product lines. As an
example, 90 percent of our revenue comes from the AS/400, iSeries product, so,
obviously, from a development perspective, that's where we're going to start
investing our money. So we have become a lot more streamlined. In doing that,
we've become a lot more efficient. We believe we have a very good model for
profitability. We're a private organization now. On our revenues this year,
we're doing about $150 million; our profits will be around $25 million. "

Bill
