Hi Dave,

A fully diluted loss would be smaller (amount of loss divided by more shares).

I think a more important point would be that the Anals that cover APM seem to base ALL their future predictions on the results of the most recent quarter. Quite honestly I consider last springs predictions of over $6 per share for FY 98 as absurd as the current predictions. You can pretty much expect that a stocks price will go down when expectations get too high and can't be met. The reverse is true when expectations get too low and can be beat consistantly. Personally I think something in the $2 range give or take .50 cents is more realistic for FY 98. It takes into consideration more of what the company has been able to do over the past few years, rather than the results of 1 or 2 quarters.

The bottom line right now is; does anyone think APM can beat -.78 for Q1 98?

Regards,

Don
