VICL forecasting net loss between $24 and $28m in 2003. Market cap is now way below cash + equivalents + marketable securities (and way below bv), even subtracting the prospective $28m loss. Picked up a few today in the hope they might attract a CALP type bid. In any event, can't see too much downside. :-)
