(b) Everyone is free to speculate about NTI's need to do another placement. my speculation is that they are $15 million short and therefore will have to do one. I don't want to spend energy defending this *feeling* but I threw these numbers out on Yahoo some weeks ago .... they are a road map and probably better estimates could be made .... NOTE: I would NOT recommend NTII to anyone ... too many loose ends ... Yahoo post ========== Cash (all accounts) (a) Beginning Balance 9/30/04 ************ ON HAND ************ $16,581 Plus ************ INFLOWS ************ (b) Estimated Inflows for 5 Quarters Royalties: (1) This quarter $765 (2) Jan-Mar-05 $1,000 (3) Apl-Jun-05 $1,100 (4) Jul-Sep-05 $1,200 (5) Oct-Dec-05 $1,300 ------------------------ Total $5,365 ----------------------- equals ************ (c)Total Available Cash ************ $21,946 (a) + (b) less ************ OUTFLOWS ************ (d)Estimated OutFlows for 5 Quarters (1) This quarter $2,000 (2) Jan-Mar-05 $2,500 (3) Apl-Jun-05 $2,700 (4) Jul-Sep-05 $3,000 (5) Oct-Dec-05 $3,300 ------------------------ Total $13,500 ----------------------- ************ NET CASH ************ (e) AT Sept 30 - 2005 --------------------- $8,446 (c) minus (d) ===================== ================= end Yahoo post ================= Error:(e) Should really say Dec 31, 2005 One of the weird things on the horizon maybe as follows: (1) Xerecept works - but (a) No way to finance a sales team to sell it, and, (b) sales effort reduced by limited product need i.e. used only in chronic because of the (anticipated huge) cost difference between Xerecept vs Dex_I_cant spell_the_rest current steriod in use. Finally, it goes without saying that I hope I am dead wrong about all the stuff above, and time will tell. Whether I stay here or not largely depends on the upcoming results of the DN P2 trial. regards, John
