Anaxagoras,

I looked at the COCN 10-Q briefly and think you may have overlooked the preferred equity of $15.26 million at 3/31/99. This exceeds the cash and short term investments, and even total shareholders' equity of $4.68 million. Thus common shareholders' equity was negative, in excess of $2 per share.

The class E preferred appears to be a floorless convertible. The company lost $0.82/share in the March quarter, and warns it will require further financing to continue to operate.

COCN may be a worthwhile investment based on its technology and patents, but I can't see it as a great buy based on the balance sheet alone. Please advise me if I've missed something.

Regards,
John
