Can some knowledgable person tell me where KDUS goes from here? I was looking at the SEC filings and it looks like the company is basically a shell right now:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company was incorporated in 1992 and until July 30, 1999, devoted
substantially all of its resources to the development and application
of novel yeast-based and other drug discovery technologies. On July 30,
1999, the Company sold its drug discovery assets to OSI
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("OSI") and ceased its internal drug discovery
operations and research efforts for collaborative partners. The Company
terminated all employees who were not hired by OSI or who did not
voluntarily resign except for the Chief Executive Officer who resigned
in April 2000.

The Company has incurred operating losses in each year since its
inception including net losses of approximately $971,000 during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2000, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $53.0 million, which reflects
an $18.5 million charge for litigation damages with respect to the
patent infringement litigation with SIBIA. The Company's losses have
resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with its
research and development activities and from general and administrative
costs associated with the Company's operations. These costs have
exceeded the Company's revenues and interest income. As a result of the
sale of its drug discovery assets to OSI and the cessation of its
internal drug discovery operations and research efforts for
collaborative partners, the Company ceased to have research funding
revenues and substantially reduced its operating expenses. The Company
expects to generate revenues in the future only if it is able to
license its technologies.

So, they won the lawsuit...do they start hiring employees now? ???? Why did the stock initially pop up on the FDCA decision and then put on the brakes? I see the company's webpage featured on the title post is no longer there. Anyway, thanks for any information.
