Rudy, you don't seem to give much value to the other parts of CIST:

Strong Cash Position
$9 Million on hand
Will receive $3 Million from Immunex in Novmeber 1999
Will receive $1 Million from Immunex in November 2000

Low Debt
No preferred shareholders
Long-term debt only $260,000
Short-term liabilities only $1.2 Million

Promising Research Collaboration
Pasteur Merieux Serums & Vaccins, S.A. (PMS&V), the world's largest vaccine company
PMS&V to fund vaccine development program over the three-year period for $900,000
$31 Million to Cistron in milestone payments based upon development progress
Cistron would receive royalties should PMS&V sell vaccines using Cistron technology

Monoclonal Antibody/ IL-1ß Patents
So promising that the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world owns Cistron stock
So valuable that Immunex agreed to pay $21 Million to avoid a $125 Million lawsuit
So promising that that largest vaccine company in the world agreed to pay $31 Million

PAI-2 DNA Patent
Cistron granted an exclusive sublicense to Biotech Australia Pty.
Limited to make, use and sell PAI-2 bioaust.com.au

Royalty Agreements
TECHNE Corporation (Nasdaq: TECH) rndsystems.com
Cistron would receive royalties should PMS&V sell vaccines using Cistron technology

I don't believe CIST is going to sell for >$10, but I would be disappointed with just $1.
