What you said previously is:

    85% of registrants are companies, BUT 75.5% OF COMPANIES REGISTERING
    DOMAIN NAMES are small businesses, in fact, the smallest of the
    small: 1 - 4 employees.  [Emphasis added]


That is, the above clearly states that 85% of registrants are companies,
and 75.5% of that 85% are small companies.  75.5% of 85% is 64.1%.  That
is, 64.1% of domain registrants are small businesses.  This is not the
same as your statement above, which is that 75.5% of domain registrants
are small businesses. 

I don't have a vested interest in which version is correct, to tell you
the truth.  But I would like to know which it is.
