Apollo Computer Inc will have to take a charge of $5.7m, 16 cents a share, with its third quarter figures to cover losses made by its foreign exchange trader, who appar-ently made a mistake on a major transaction and tried unsuccessfully to make good the loss by making other, unauthorised, foreign exch-ange trades: Apollo does not expect the charge to wipe out profits for the period – analysts had been looking for 21 to 25 cents a share, up from seven cents a year ago.
