"According to the company, Sun expects revenues for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 in the range of $2.580 to $2.680
billion, as compared with $3.780 billion for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008. That's a more than billion year-over-year dollar drop.
"Sun went on to state that it anticipates a GAAP (General
Accepted Accounting Principles) net loss per share for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009 of from twenty-four to thirty-four cents per
share. If you want to ignore GAAP, Sun says its net loss won't be
that bad: share holders will only lose six to sixteen cents per
share"
