Neil,

These are positive numbers for FC switch companies.

Using EMF associates assumptions:

Net 1999 revenues to switch companies = 4.8b x 4% x 1/2 = 96m

Net 2003 revenues to switch companies = 23.1b x 14% x 1/2 = 1.617b

Net FC revenues of 96m to 1.617b in 4 years is a cagr of 103%

IF ANCR get 1/3, then 2003 ANCR sales = 1.617b / 3 = 539m

IF ANCR converts 10% of sales to after tax earnings and
there is stock dilution of 40% from here,
then 2003 ANCR eps = 539m x .10 x .60 / 25m = $1.29

A 10% after tax margin is at least plausible as
EMC is 18% and SUNW is 8%.

An end of year 2003 stock price for ANCR using
40 times trailing EPS of $1.29 could be conservative
where revenues have been compounding at 100% for 4 years.

40 times $1.29 would project ANCR to $51.6 for DEC 2003.

$5.625 going to 51.6 in 4 3/4 years is a 58.8% compound return

For a stock with ANCR's history of price volatility and
performance delays and disappointments, a plausible compound
return of 35% is my personal threshold.

A 35% return to an ANCR $51.6 price at end of year 2003,
implies a current price of $12.30.

I am guessing that many ANCR bulls would put the current
value for ANCR pretty close to this number.
