THE MATH IS CORRECT, YOU ARE MISSING AN IMPORTANT POINT.

#1 Friedman analyst says CalFed could get $18/Share
#2 CalFed has 49.31 shares outstanding
#3 CalFed holders only get 75% of the lawsuit money since CALGZ holders get the remaining 25%.
#4 If 75% of the money = $887.58 million (18*49.31), the total estimated award is therefore $1.183 Billion of which 25% goes to CALGZ
#5 There are 5.1 Million CALGZ outstanding
#6 25% of $1.183 Billion divided by 5.1 Million = $58!

Therefore CALGZ has the maximum potential of $58.

[18*49.31/.75*.25/5.1 = ~58]

From the release:

California Federal Bank (CAL-$18) -- At the current price, Calfed trades at less than 10 times 1997 estimated reported earnings. According to our model, Calfed could receive in excess of $18 per share. We therefore recommend the purchase of the stock up to $21 per
share. With an ultimate potential upside of $58 per share according to our model, the Calfed warrants (CALGZ) are also an interesting play.
