And Mentor Graphics Corp, Beaverton, Oregon warns that it too will see sales and profits for the second quarter significantly less than the company expected: We are surprised by the severity of the shortfall, it said – While business in both April and May was moderate, it was fairly typical of past quarters; it was only in mid-June that the potential dimensions of the problem began to appear so it is likely to do $100m to $103m sales against $106m a year ago, which means 5 cents to 10 cents a share, a crash from 29 cents a year ago.
