Hey Gus,

Tough sledding huh? (I'm with you.)

Here's a liitle positive news for us AXC'ers:

Form 4's filed by Bramson and 4 other top execs today.
Bramson bought another 175,000 at 3 5/16 on 11/7/97 and the others had previously granted options restruck at 3 1/8 (down from various strikes above 5).

Restruck options don't mean much, but Bramson buying another 175,000 in addition to 150,000 he bought on 10/29 (which was previously disclosed) is positive.

The first 150,000 could have been seen as a token gesture of public support, but to buy another 175,000 a week later certainly demonstrates confidence on Ed's part.

The filing does not indicate if the shares were purchased with a loan from AXC but I assume they were. The filing does says the purchase was approved by the Board as an exempt transaction so I assume a purchase of treasury stock from the company.

Let's hope Ed knows something big, positive and....imminent.

Steve
