Hello The number you see from other web sites are usually GAAP or reported earnings. There are other ways of reporting earnings that remove one time charges and use what are usually called operating earnings, those are the numbers that we have from Reuters. There can be very large differences between the numbers.

Gary, I have recently started looking at Cardionet Inc. (BEAT), and I noticed that in the QuotesPlus fundamentals, it reports EPS for March 2008 and March 2009 as .02 and .04, respectively. However, looking at their first qtr 10Q, filed 5/15/2009, they state that they had a net LOSS of (.63) and (.03) for the first qtr of 2008 and 2009, respectively. It's the same for basic and diluted shares. Sales reported by QuotesPlus for those periods agrees with the sales reported in the 10Q. Nowhere in the 10Q verbiage does it discuss a net gain, only the above losses. Can you explain this apparent discrepancy? TIA... jim
