RE:Earnings Earnings are managed for tax purposes. They paid almost $6 million in debt back and they covered off all of their modernixzation costs. It could have been 6 cents if they wanted it to be. In fact the debt is so low now they could be paying a larger dividend if they wished as well. The company is being managed very well. I suspect it has the strogest balance sheet in the business when you look at the ratio of debt to equity..
