"Analyst Earning Estimate"

OfflineIn this sample, I found the "Analyst Earnings Estimate" marked wrong "Company Rated", in which the "rating company" (citi) was annoted as the "company rated".
====================================
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of MedCath Corp. rose Monday after Citi analyst Gary Taylor boosted his earnings forecast and price target for the hospital operator.
The stock gained $1.93, or 10.1 percent, to $21.11. Shares have traded between $16.09 and $34.61 over the last 52 weeks.
Taylor increased his 2008 earnings-per-share forecast to $1.20 from 96 cents, but maintained a "Sell" rating on the company, citing several risks. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect profit of $1.11 per share.
"MedCath struggles to reduce volatility in its results as it embarks on an attractive long-term bed expansion strategy," he said, in a note to investors.
The company has missed its own guidance each of the last two quarters, he said, though it topped the most recent fiscal second-quarter projections.
Long-term issues for the company remain lingering bad debt, or accounts that are unlikely to be collected.

You can run this text through the new R3.1 (currently on tech preview) to verify the new results.

...incorrect "anaphora resolution".
The rated company isn't mentioned in the sentence itself (where the Analyst Estimate is given) and we try to "understand" what the company should be - in this case we are wrong.
We'll look into it and try to provide a generic solution.
