Kenneth,

Thought I would move over to this thread.

I think you can estimate from this data:

SOLOMON PAGE (SOLP)

Quarter ----------- 9/95 12/95 3/96 6/96 9/96 12/96 3/97 6/97

Revenues(millions)*** 2.10 3.00 3.50 5.10 5.60 5.50 6.30 7.80
Net Income ******* -0.80 -0.10 0.10 0.40 0.40 0.30 0.30 0.50
Shares Outstanding*** 5.14 5.14 5.14 5.14 5.14 5.13 5.13 5.13
(millions)

Earnings per sh.*****-0.16 -0.03 0.02 0.07 0.08 0.07 0.05 0.07*

* Due to a change in accounting methods, Earnings per share
was officially given as .07 which assumes approx. 9 million
shares ( includes all stock options and outstanding warrants).
Earnings per share would have been .097 if only todays
outstanding shares (5.13 million) were counted. Warrants
expire in 10/99, 2 years away!

If we compare six months from 1/96 to 6/96, to the first six
months of 97 (1/97 to 6/97), the earnings growth rate is

(.30 + .50)/(.10 + .40) = 1.60 or 60% earnings growth per year
(assuming 5.13 million shares)

And the PE = 3.18 / (.07 + .05 + .07 + .08) = 11.8

It seems the PE is low enough to make it attractive , never mind
the earnings growth!
