Middleware valuations.

In the table at the conclusion of his white paper on the VSGN
merger, Del Yocam lists IONAY & BEAS as the competition.

The following may be of interest.

IONAY. Various flavors of ORBIX.
Price - 28. Shares o/s 19M. Market Cap - 532M.
Latest 12 months sales - 48.6M. Price/Sales Ratio - 11X.
Wall Street Coverage. 4 Analysts. All Buy.

BEAS. Tuxedo - Iceberg pending.
Price - 26. Shares o/s 70M. Market Cap - 1,820M.
Latest 12 months sales - 157.2M. Price/Sales Ratio - 11.6X.
Wall Street Coverage. 8 Analysts. All Buy.

Neither company had any significant earnings in 1997.

A comparable valuation for BORL would put it over $30.

Much of this discrepancy in price is due to lack of coverage, but
points up the potential if this should change.
