BTW, here are ASNDs trailing sales numbers. The big picture does not look all that bad IMO:

9-95 $40 MM
12-95 $60 MM
3-96 $91 MM
6-96 $123 MM
9-96 $154 MM
12-96 $177 MM
3-97 $202 MM
6-97 $311 MM <--- Includes CSCC revenues
9-97 $270-$280 MM <--- Guidance given by ASND

Bottom line, ASND had a bad quarter, much like COMS did. For the first time revenues are going to shrink, rather than expand. Honestly, I think if you guys (and myself) can buy into ASND under $26 1/2, we have gotten a great long term entrance price.

Why $26 1/2? Well, at $26 1/2--ASND is worth $5 Billion on paper. Below that, we are buying into one of the top 3 branded networkers in the world in the high $4 Billion market cap range. Great long term entry IMO.

Best of luck to all.
