JDN: An old accounting scam used to be "channel stuffing". Sales were made to the distributor with a fine print worded clause allowing a buy back of goods not sold. This resulted in excellent sales growth for a few quarters, After that came the buy backs and write offs of Inventory.

I have no details about the Medical Group's sales problems. Investors in COHR since 95 have all lost and I wonder what they intend doing about it.

Do you have any details of what was said at the Conference call.?

Thanks.
