<<Current analyst's consensus estimates in FY1999 of +0.36 IMO are way too low. I believe Vivus will be able to show earnings in 1999 of at least +0.70. >> I could not agree with you more (If you include milestones, it will probably exceed a buck). But one thing management has learned throughout this entire ordeal is that when a small biotech misses earnings, stock price is punished with a vengeance. Vivus is on the road to recovery. I think it is very wise for Leland to plan for the worst case scenario, and then some. Clearly with EPS of +0.36 he has done just that; Vivus is ready for the unexpected. What if everything goes better than the +0.36? Than the worst thing that can happen is an analyst upgrade and an increase in stock price. Can't lose.
