Joe -

Re your questions and concerns:

1. the secondary will probably keep this quarters earnings flat to q398, but well up from q497.

Well up from Q4 '97! Q4 '96 (ending 3-31-96) was -$.13. Earnings have been positive ever since. In a recent post I posted Wainwright's $.11 estimate for the current quarter. This indeed would have been down 2 cents qtr to qtr on increased number of shares but I really believe they will continue to beat anylst estimates. The important news I can give you here, howevr, is that CFO Rick Goldbach told Reuters at the Cruttenden Roth Growth conference on 3-3-98 that "he was comfortable with analyst earnings for the fourth quater of $0.14." Yes, $.14 or 27% higher that the Wainwright number! I have to believe that's also beatable. Even if they don't beat .$14, we'll still have a sequential Q to Q increase on increased shares. Trailing pe will drop dramatically as the -$.13 is replaced with +$.14. I confirmed the $.14 with the company on Friday. The Reuters quote is accurate. :-)

More to follow.
