BTW I am a non-practicing CPA.

Any analyst who would downgrade ASND based upon how they handled this financing
(and I believe ASND indicated that financing is involved in less than 5% of their
contracts) is a complete idiot."

I think this whole episode today is an attempt to buy ASND at a cheaper price...IMHO

Agreed, Walter. I am in complete agreement with you. I am a non-practicing MBA, and formerly worked in finance at a large company.

I am changing my position on Ascend acquisition. I do not think Ascend will be acquired in the next quarter. I think they are positioning themselves to go independent for at least 1-2 quarters unless Lucent makes an irresistible offer.

Originally I was anticipating that Ascend would let it rip this quarter and report $0.35-$0.40/share. It looks like they decided not to do that and instead to bag a significant portion for next quarter.
