I haven't seen that, my understanding was Aware carries tax credits until 2003 or so. I just read the H&Q report on the CC yesterday, it was pretty upbeat in regards to Aware's prospects. H&Q had a 4&cent estimate for Aware. GSPN may end up suffering in time from the results of the Intel/Aware deal.

Looks like RS took Aware's EPS up a penny in 1999 but down $.04 in 2000. Revenue remains the same. It looks like they also added taxes into next year. I wonder what kind of conversation drove this. AWRE's got $14 million in accumulated deficit on the latest balance sheet. Doubt they'll pay any taxes next year. Would be nice if they had to! :-) RS lists both expected EPS and fully taxed EPS, so I don't know which you are refering to. The number that they submit to First Call is the expected EPS, which is unlikely to have any provision for income tax since AWRE is unlikely to make over $14 million in operating income next year. RS estimates AWRE will earn $9.3 million in fiscal 2000, and on this basis would pay no taxes. If history is any indication, they will beat the estimate and make more, and may have to begin paying taxes in 2001. As for how accurate RS' estimate of AWRE's financial performance will be in 2001, I won't even guess. Where is HAL when ya need him? Elroy
