Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Lev said that a portion of the AR were from personal loans to officers. In addition the cash on hand does not include the recent $25mm stock purchase/Berg funds.

Zeev, could you please present those questions at tomorrows conference call. You seem to understand the SEC documents better than the other posters.

You thought we might see $11.00 yesterday. Do you see $11.00 for tomorrow?

Zeev,

A/R is greater than Sales because of the A/R from last quarter. You have to look at the change. From $1.9 to $3.1 equals $1.2M increase in A/R. Thus, 2M in sales and 1.2 still payable. No big deal. Wouldn't use this fraction going forward either, too small and we don't know the timing. Basically, one should expect net 60 or about 2/3 of sales to be payable. Looks like G* or I can't remember the repackager's name is streching out the payments.

Burn is 8.3M loss minus 2.5M depreciation or about $6.3 if you add back in capex of about $1.5 then roughly the burn is $8M.

They have recently paid off a lot of payables. They could easily strech those out also. Easily another 4 or 5 million.

Likewise, A/R and Inventory will go up as volume increases. However, they should be able to get a line of credit backed by those A/R.Pretty safe stuff. So I don't see that as a problem.

Thus I see about $24M net burning at $8/qtr. Three quarters ! They can wait until December as long as they don't have any huge Cap-Ex.

IDB monies should be flowing soon also.

Zeev, pretty negative info from you , on not to sharp an analysis from you. I'm surprised. You wouldn't be short ?

Hi Zeev:

The fact that a/r is higher than sales caused me to question it also. My guess is that it is amounts due from customers for non-revenue items, like manufacturing/engineering costs that the customers agreed to pay. This would reduce costs rather than increase revenues.
