Here's a precis: Staying in front of the technology curve has hurt Mentor's shareholders over the past year, but the company's change in focus will likely pay dvidends over the next year. Revenue growth of 3.6% in 96 resulted from the fact that the revenue decline from old products had yet to be offset by increases from new products. Same for first Q of 97. Q1 97 evidenced new product growth of 40%. New CFO , Hinckley, hired in January 97 from VLSI. Currently cash and short-term paper is at $144 MIL AFTER paying off $52MIL in long-term debt. Chairman, Shirley, bought 50k shares @ $6.75; CFO, Hinckley, bought 18k shares @ 9.88 to 10.25; and in late 1966 three other insiders bought 21k from $7.63-8.93. Also, the piece included positive comments from a couple of analysts. While I know how to e mail something like this, I haven't a clue how to transport to this format. ciao, dougo
