b_p/blue,
yes, the Q3 report (beginning of Nov) is the first Q report that will report on the mgmnt defined performance measurement window, the last day of Q3 being Sep30, any business between the July1-Sept30 being reported then.
Q2 has been long marked as the ugly quarter, Q3 being marked as the first Q to reasonably anticipate material evidence of turnaround, but it does not involve waiting another 8 months.
The above content is my opinion.
