As I read this, they spent nearly half of their net sales from imaging on imaging R&D, while the company overall is listed as spending in the 4% neighborhood on R&D. That sounds like the rest of the company propping up imaging to me, but I could be reading it wrong. Well, at least their net 2001 income balances out the horrendous loss they suffered in 1999. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
