Mark, the Xionics prospectus shows negative earnings. Phoenix
has been anxious to get out of the rest of their position and get their
loan paid back. In fact, Phoenix has been carrying their equity
position and a loan to Xionics at $0 on their books. They will now
have a large windfall profit for last quarter (and future quarters).

The Xionics business is really old news for Phoenix. The exciting
news is that Phoenix should have close to $60 million in cash
and short-term investments now. Without diluting their stock, they
can buy THREE companies like Virtual Chips which is projected
to grow at over 150% in the next year. In their last earnings
report, they stated that they are targeting about two acquisitions
by the end of the year. You need to keep in mind also that the
management of Phoenix is a much more focused and disciplined
team than a few years ago. Both the CEO and CFO assumed
their positions in 1995. They've also been fortunate to be able
to bring on some very capable managers to head up various groups
this year.
