Of particular concern is that the\n reader could be made to believe that the Company's profitability had\n risen in the context of a major decrease in the value attributed. It is\n for this reason that the Company includes net earnings in absolute\n dollars and per-share dollars excluding this costing of options effect,\n it is therefore unlikely that we can compare them with the same type...
