This is the Quarterly Earnings Report for Commodore International,

Commodore is listed as "Quarterly Earning Surprises" in the Negative section,
since it reported .35c quarterly profits/per share instead of an expected .66c.

So, this quarter broke the series of losses of the past two quarters, but
earnings were not that good either (as with most other computer companies).
