all depends on what they do with the purchased shares. In some cases, =
they are retired, and thereby may improve EPS (assuming they could make =
no better use of the cash). In other cases, they are added to Treasury =
stock, and can later be sold, used for employees exercising options, =
acquisition with stock, etc.

If they are put into Treasury, then they are still outstanding, and must =
be counted in the number of shares.

  when a company buys back shares, does the number of outstanding shares =
decrease?  If so, then it is possible for a company to show earnings =
growth due to the fact that there are less shares outstanding.  Thus the =
companys earnings are not really growing.

    Hi Scott,

    The rest of the 41% not owned by management  is owned by SFE, an =
"incubator" that has a portfolio of  companies in which it maintains a =
substantial portion of the outstanding shares. See =
http://www.safeguard.com/investorfs.html for a list. You see this kind =
of discrepancy in the numbers quite often when a stock is spun off from =
a parent or from an incubator and not all shares are distributed to the =
public in the spin off.
