Come on guys/gals - I gave you a heads-up on this one last week. Supposedly drilling at ~5 locations now. "Westport Resources Corporation Reports Record Earnings MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2000 7:00:00 AM EST DENVER, Nov 13, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Westport Resources Corporation (NYSE: WRC) today reported record earnings and cash flows for the third quarter 2000. Revenues increased 227% to $63.2 million, compared to revenues of $19.3 million for the prior year period. Cash flow increased 550% to $50.7 million (including a $3.4 million net gain on sale of assets), or $1.64 per basic share ($1.62 per diluted share), compared to $7.8 million, or $0.50 per basic share ($0.49 per diluted share) for the prior year period. Net income for the third quarter increased 730% to $19.0 million, or $0.62 per share ($0.61 per diluted share) compared to $2.3 million, or $0.15 per basic share ($0.14 per diluted share) for the prior year period. The strong results reflect the merger with Equitable Production Gulf Company ("EPGC") on April 7, 2000, increases in production, the impact of sharply higher oil and gas prices, and continuing cost controls. The contribution from the acquired EPGC properties to revenues, cash flow and net income for the third quarter 2000 were $33.7 million, $29.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively." Regards, ldo79

Raymond James comments on NSS: NSS now selling at 5 times 9/30/02 earnings? NS Group (NSS/$7.60/Strong Buy) reported FY4Q EPS of $0.10 EPS versus the consensus of $0.04 and our estimate of $0.05. While the company posted a positive surprise for the quarter, the company again warned that they expect to lose between $0.35 to $0.40 in their fiscal first quarter ended December 31. The company also guided to FY 2001 EPS of $0.40, which is in line with consensus. Based on company guidance, we lowered our FY2001 EPS estimate from $0.60 to $0.40. We also initiated a FY2002 EPS estimate of $1.50. Jim
