For the three months ended July 31, the company lost $2.03 billion, or 67 cents per share, compared to what would have been a loss of $116 million, or 4 cents a share, for the companies had they been together in the same period last year.

Excluding a $2.4 billion adjustment mostly related to the merger, HP earned $420 million, or 14 cents per share, compared with $320 million, or 11 cents per share, by the companies a year ago. Revenue was $16.5 billion, down about 11 percent from $18.6 billion reported by the companies a year ago. The press release puts

HP (NYSE:HPQ) today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2002. This is the company's first earnings report that includes the merger transaction with Compaq Computer Corp., which was completed May 3, 2002. (Results and comparisons in this release are stated on a combined company basis and reflect Compaq's prior fiscal quarter results as if combined with HP at the start of HP's prior fiscal quarters.

The company reported third quarter revenue of $16.5 billion, compared to $18.2 billion on a combined company basis in the prior quarter. Sequentially, combined company revenue declined 9%, while pro forma gross margin increased from 25.5% to 25.7%. Pro forma operating expenses were up sequentially from 21.0% to 22.5% of net revenue, reflecting normal seasonality and merger-related sales training and product rollouts. Operating expenses were down 10% year over year, equivalent to $400 million on an absolute dollar basis....

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) General Electric Co. is likely to make a few billion-dollar acquisitions in the coming months and may sell businesses such as appliances and lighting, an analyst said Tuesday.

With distressed companies looking to make quick sales, GE is in a strong position to buy some of their assets, said Nicholas Heymann, an analyst with Prudential Securities Inc. in New York.

''We have companies selling assets to raise funds to stay in business,'' Heymann said. ''When there is a credit squeeze, GE has the resources to help them meet the squeeze.''

Heymann predicted GE would make two or three acquisitions in the $3 billion to $5 billion range involving industrial, transportation or medical equipment businesses. He also said the Fairfield-based conglomerate might sell a few businesses, with potential divestiture candidates including Employers Reinsurance Co. and the appliances and lighting divisions.

''The portfolio is in a state of enhancement,'' Heymann said. ''It's a period of refining your portfolio of assets such that they can create greater value.''

GE officials would not comment on possible acquisitions or divestitures. But GE Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt has said the current valuations of businesses make it a good time for acquisitions.

GE's commercial-finance unit is in talks to buy part of ABB Ltd.'s leasing and financing business in a deal that some analysts said may be valued at as much as $3.1 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The GE unit would acquire about 80 percent of the leasing and loan portfolio held by Zurich-based ABB's structured-finance subsidiary, The Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.

''Of course the structured finance business is up for sale and we are looking to sell it in the current quarter,'' said ABB spokesman Thomas Schmidt. ''There are several interested parties and we are in talks, but we cannot say that we will sell the business until the end of the quarter. We do not comment on market speculation.''

Heymann said such a deal makes sense because it would help ABB reduce its debt of $5.2 billion to about $2.6 billion by the end of the year.

The ABB unit provides loans to companies for infrastructure projects and leases office equipment and vending machines.

The acquisition could boost GE's presence in Europe. The European Union last year blocked GE's proposed $45 billion acquisition of Honeywell International Inc.

The ABB deal would be the first since GE announced in July that it would split GE Capital in Stamford into four separate businesses: equipment management, insurance, commercial finance and consumer finance. The move was designed to improve transparency and streamline management.

Shares of GE stock were trading Tuesday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange at $32, down 7 cents.

10. Equipment leasing. While the majority of equipment leasing deals are legitimate, thousands of investors have been scammed by individuals selling interests in payphones, ATMs or Internet kiosks. In a typical equipment leasing scam, a company sells a piece of equipment through a middleman. As part of the sale, the company agrees to lease back and service the equipment for a fee. Investors are promised high returns with little or no risk. But state regulators say high commissions paid to salesmen and promised returns that are unrealistically high doom many projects. In North Carolina, regulators took action against an individual who sold an Internet kiosk to an investor for $24,950, promising a 17 percent return. The individual had previously sold payphone leases to investors from a company that later filed for bankruptcy.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hard times on Wall Street have spawned more con artists who prey on shaken investors with promises of easy money, state securities regulators said Monday.

Scams involving unscrupulous stockbrokers and financial analysts with conflicting interests are for the first time among the top 10 investment frauds listed by the North American Securities Administrators Association. Fraudulent oil and gas investments and schemes involving charitable gift annuities also joined the annual list.

``Con artists know investors are concerned about the volatile stock market,'' said Joseph Borg, president of the group known as NASAA. ``They pitch their scams as offering high returns with no risk - an impossible combination.''

To avoid scams, investors should check with state regulators to make sure an opportunity is legitimate and must use common sense, Borg said at a news conference.

The regulators ranked the frauds and risky investments they are fighting by how often they occur and their impact. It is the fourth list from NASAA, which represents securities regulators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico.

The top-ranked scam for 2002 involved unlicensed individuals, such as independent insurance agents, selling securities. Borg said most agents are honest, but too many are lured by high commissions into selling high-risk or fraudulent investments.

The regulators ranked deceptive stockbrokers at No. 2., saying ``the declining stock market has caused some brokers to cut corners or resort to outright fraud.''

Last year, North Dakota's securities commissioner yanked the licenses of two brokers, saying they squandered millions by making speculative investments without their clients' permission. The brokers were affiliated with H.D. Vest Investment Services Inc., an Irving, Texas, firm that in December settled with regulators and agreed to repay customers more than $3.2 million.

Analyst research conflicts came in third on the regulators' list. State investigators are probing whether some analysts issued glowing research reports and made buy recommendations to win investment-banking business, NASAA said.

Merrill Lynch & Co., the nation's biggest brokerage, agreed in May to pay a $100 million fine and revamp its stock research practices in a settlement with the New York attorney general's office, which had charged that the firm's analysts were misleading investors for personal gain.

Promissory notes, which typically involve loans to companies made by investors in exchange for a fixed amount of periodic income. Legitimate corporate promissory notes are not usually sold to the public and some schemes are fraudulent.

Prime bank schemes that promise investors risk-free, triple-digit returns on debt notes said to be guaranteed by the world's biggest banks.

Viatical settlements, which, when done legally, involve buying into the insurance policies of the terminally ill, who get a portion of the money to help with medical bills. The investor is supposed to get paid when the person dies, but in some fraudulent cases the policyholders aren't really dying or don't even exist.

Affinity fraud investing schemes that target religious, ethnic and professional groups and are performed by members of the groups who use their common backgrounds to gain trust.

Charitable gift annuities, in which a donor gives cash or stock to a charity in return for lifetime fixed payments based on age - the older the donor, the larger the payment. Regulators said investors should be cautious of little-known organizations offering such investments.

Oil and gas schemes, including investments in fraudulent operations or wells that don't produce.

Leasing scams involving telephones, automated teller machines and Internet kiosks.

Federal authorities plan to auction expensive wine, jewelry and coins seized from the Ramona house of John D. Garitta, the former PinnFund USA chief financial officer who pleaded guilty last week to securities fraud charges.

Merchandise to be sold at the auction Thursday includes more than 400 bottles of wine worth an estimated $163,000, $480,000 in jewelry and gems, and $19,000 in collectible coins. The auction will be held in Rancho Dominguez in the Los Angeles area.

The Internal Revenue Service seized the items when authorities raided Garitta's home in January, said Tami Stine, special agent for the IRS.

"This was actually PinnFund money that was used to purchase these assets," Stine said.

Carlsbad-based PinnFund collapsed in March 2001 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a securities fraud lawsuit against the mortgage lender and individuals linked to the company.

Former PinnFund chief executive Michael Fanghella has spent a year behind bars awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to fraud charges. About $330 million was taken from investors in the Ponzi scheme, in which new investor money was returned to earlier investors in the form of monthly payments.

Investors have filed a lawsuit against accounting firms that audited various money-raising entities that supplied PinnFund with funds. The lawsuit seeks $300 million, plus punitive damages.

The SEC earlier settled with PinnFund's chief money raiser, James Hillman of Oakland, and with Fanghella's former girlfriend, Kelly Cook.

Garitta admitted to money laundering, tax evasion and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He faces 11 to 14 years in prison. Garitta has pledged to cooperate with the investigation, and he could get less time in prison if his cooperation is satisfactory, authorities said.

Stine said the IRS does not know how much money the auction will bring in. A judge will decide who will get the proceeds.

"But ultimately we would want to get this money back to defrauded investors," Stine said.

Merchandise seized from Garitta is just part of what will be sold at the auction, set for 9 a.m. Thursday at EG&G Technical Services warehouse, 2332 E. Pacifica Place, Rancho Dominguez. Auction previews and registration will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Wednesday. For information, visit http://www.treas.gov/auctions/ customs/

NEW YORK –– Consumer confidence fell sharply for the second month in a row in August, declining to its lowest level since November 2001, a private research group reported today.

The New York-based Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index fell to 93.5 from a revised 97.4 in July. Analysts had been expecting a reading of 97.0.

The industry group's index, based on a monthly survey of some 5,000 U.S. households, is closely watched because consumer confidence drives consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity.

Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board's Consumer Research Center, called August's decline "a strong signal that business conditions have yet to turn around. It also suggests that consumer spending is not likely to gain momentum any time soon."

PENANG, Malaysia (Reuters) - Intel Corp, the world's No. 1 chipmaker, said on Tuesday it expected modest growth in third-quarter earnings over the preceding quarter and would continue investing in new technology despite the weak market.

Intel Chief Executive Officer Craig Barrett gave his cold-eyed assessment of the market for chips while attending a hi-tech conference to mark the 30th anniversary of the setting up of Penang as Malaysia's hub for the industry.

"We see modest growth in the third quarter over the second quarter," Barrett told a news conference.

FOXBORO, Mass. (Aug. 27) -- Running back Jamal Anderson won't be part of the New England Patriots immediate plans, after all.

A day after Anderson's agent said a deal was all but done, coach Bill Belichick said Anderson won't be on the roster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sept 9: Pittsburgh at New England -- In the first Monday night game, the Steelers have to face their demons. The Steelers were clearly the best team in the AFC last season, but choked away a chance at the Super Bowl when their special teams let them down in an AFC Championship loss to the Patriots. Steelers coach Bill Cowher has not let his players forget the sting of that loss. The Patriots went on to upset the Rams in the Super Bowl and now head into the season trying to repeat. They aren't being given much of shot. The skeptics say they fluked into winning it all. They also say quarterback Tom Brady could put his name next to the Starland Vocal Band -- the kings of the one-hit wonders. The Patriots will debut their new stadium for a national-TV audience against the Steelers. For a Week 1 game, this has a lot of subplots. By midnight of Sept. 9, we'll know if those demons inside the Steelers heads have been exorcised. Or are the Patriots for real?

October 5 St. Louis at San Francisco -- The Rams have beaten the 49ers six consecutive times after losing to the 49ers an amazing 17 in a row. The Rams won the division last season because they swept the 49ers, and their domination is a big reason why they are picked to win it again. Until the 49ers can beat the Rams, they are a team that is going to get questioned. In recent years, the 49ers have been unable to match up with the Rams receivers. To help improve in that area, the 49ers used a first-round pick on cornerback Mike Rumph. He is expected to be the nickel back, which means instead of getting caught with a safety matched up on the Rams' slot receivers, the 49ers will likely move starting corner Jason Webster inside in those situations, with Rumph outside. The key to beating the Rams, though, is always pressuring Kurt Warner. The 49ers have some young pass rushers up front, and if those guys elevate their games, the streak might come to an end. And there could be a passing of the torch in the NFC West.

October 13 Carolina at Dallas -- Why this game? The Cowboys and the lowly Panthers? Well, assuming Dallas running back Emmitt Smith averaged 87.5 yards a game -- his career mark -- this will be the game Smith passes Walter Payton and becomes the all-time leading rusher. Smith needs 540 yards to put his name atop the record books. He might get it sooner, or he might need another week, but the Panthers are on pace to be the opposition when history is made. The Cowboys might hope it's sooner. Then they could get Troy Hambrick on the field quicker, something that actually could make the Cowboys a better team. Hambrick is stronger and quicker than Smith. Until then, Smith will get the carries to break the record -- Jerry Jones wants it that way.

November 3 San Francisco at Oakland -- Aside from the fact these two organizations really don't like each other, both should be good. The 49ers are viewed as the cheese and wine team in the Bay Area, and the Raiders are the choice of the crazies. A Harley rider fits in far more going to the Oakland Coliseum than he would at a 49ers game. The Raiders play a mean, nasty game, and the 49ers have always been perceived as a soft, offensive-minded team. At this late stage of the season, both should be in the thick of their division races, which will give this one even more luster. Just a word of warning for 49ers fans attending the game: It might not be too good an idea to break out that vintage wine during a tailgate party wearing that Jeff Garcia jersey.

November 3 New England at Buffalo -- Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe gets to face his old team for the first time. Although this won't have the same impact as when Bledsoe returns to Foxboro for the first time as an opposing quarterback (the Bills play at New England on Dec. 8), the first time is always special. The Patriots cut Bledsoe loose in a trade after it was decided Brady would be their quarterback. The Bills, in desperate need for quarterback help, were glad to scoop him up. They are raving about Bledsoe in Buffalo, and provided the Bills can stay healthy, he just might make them a playoff contender. Pats coach Bill Belichick is the master at planning defensive strategy, and you can bet he will come up with something interesting against his former player. Bledsoe wasn't exactly thrilled with the way he was treated at the end, forced to watch the Super Bowl as a spectator after years of good service, so he will be a little pumped.

November 10 Washington at Jacksonville -- This is the first regular-season game for Redskins coach Steve Spurrier in Florida. The game will be played 90 miles from where he made his coaching name at the University of Florida. His family lives just south of Jacksonville. Not only that, but the Jacksonville job is one Spurrier always had an eye on, even if he says otherwise. He used to tell beat writers at Florida what he thought about the Jaguars offense. And then when word got out he was interested in the NFL, Jags owner Wayne Weaver didn't even give him a sniff. On that very same day, Weaver went public with his news coach Tom Coughlin would be getting a one-year contract extension to help quell the Spurrier-to-Jacksonville talk. Many in Jacksonville think Weaver made a major PR blunder. The Jaguars needed a grocery chain to buy all remaining tickets from any home game to assure there would be sellouts. That is a big commitment, but this is at least one game in which the store can concentrate its money elsewhere. Spurrier is adored in north Florida, and the Redskins have a loyal following. Spurrier isn't one to forget, and he knows Weaver wanted no part of him. It's not nice to get on Steve's bad side, you know.

November 24 St. Louis at Washington -- The scoreboard should move up quicker than the stock market dropped. If you have a passing fancy, this one's for you. The game might take four hours to play, but if the score ends up 45-41, will anyone care? Spurrier and Rams coach Mike Martz are the NFL outcasts, two coaches who'd rather throw the ball 30 times and bring some excitement the game than watch a running back plod along to get 100 yards. They are a lot alike, too. Both have huge egos -- or so they say -- and both don't care who they offend with the way they play football. Run up the score? Oh well. There's one big difference, though. Martz has Kurt Warner. Spurrier has Danny Wuerffel. That's like trotting out a lounge singer to square off against Sinatra.

December 1 St. Louis at Philadelphia -- This rematch of the last season's NFC Championship Game will go a long way in determining whether the Eagles have done enough improving to get past the Rams. It might also decide home-field in the NFC. The Eagles have the physical defense that is needed to match up with the Rams. They also added some young, speedy secondary people to help combat the Rams' spread offense. This game, unlike the title game that was played inside, will be battled in some likely cold, windy conditions. There are those who say the Rams can't win in those conditions. So this will also be a proving ground of sorts for them. It doesn't come at a very good time for them, though. It is the middle game of a three-game road swing, following what should be that shootout with Spurrier's Redskins and before an in-state game with the Chiefs. But don't even say sandwich game. Both these teams know how big this one will be. You can bet they are eyeing it even now.

December 15 Green Bay at San Francisco -- The Packers knocked the 49ers out of the playoffs last year, after which 49ers receiver Terrell Owens complained he wasn't involved in the offense enough. He was right. Owens will provide a tough matchup for the Packers corners -- if he gets the ball. It's always good to see two outstanding quarterbacks play in what should be decent conditions this late in the season. Brett Favre against Jeff Garcia should be a treat. The Packers and 49ers have had some good games the past 10 seasons, and this one should follow that trend. It also might dictate NFC playoff seeding.

December 23 Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay -- Two of the league's nastiest defenses will get together in a Monday night game that should have major playoff implications. Last season, the Steelers went into Tampa Bay and dominated the Bucs. That led to Pittsburgh safety Lee Flowers going off in a locker-room tirade, saying the Bucs has disrespected the Steelers and that they were nothing more than "paper champions." Flowers, a loud, brash player who packs quite a thump, likely won't back down from his rips, but the Bucs likely aren't going to forget, either. If hard-hitting defensive football is your thing, this one is for you. And it's always good for doll sales near Christmas when the cameras catch Chucky Gruden wincing as if he needs a laxative a 1,000 times a game.

Three to watch---Patriots were under dogs last year, but won the Superbowl. They are still considered the underdogs. Tomorrow's game at Candlestick
