<< So let's assume Livingston's sales rev. is 1/4 of that of ASND,
i.e., 250 million dollars, thus, LU paid <3 times sales (with cash).
So maybe ASND's market value is $17/share (cash, hello GTE?).>>

Livingston's sales revenue is nowhere near that. Per the news
release:

"Livingston's annual sales are approaching $100 million, according to
data in the SEC filing. Revenues for all of 1996 were $46 million;"

LU paid about 8-9 times sales - ASND would go for no less.
