Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $17.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share

With earnings projected at $0.33 a share, this would be the fourth consecutive quarter that the company has trounced Wall Street numbers.

Third Quarter 2002 Guidance

We expect earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.35 to $0.38.

Sweetness. Third quarter estimates are at just $0.32 a share now. Can somebody say "upward revision"? The one downside is the dip in gross margins in Q2, and if you break down the numbers projected for Q3 it will be a sequential dip in net margins there too.

Still, well done ESST.
