Possibly WORSE than estimates???

If the merger is to be a pooling of interests (surprising to me that they can do it), ADCT will have no large lump of goodwill to amortize. But won't the acquirers still want questionable assets (aging inventory, etc.) written off the books before merger? They may have an improved operating number, but the bottom line may be red with write-offs.

If this should happen, it could end the speculation re better terms on the deal. Might be a good thing.
