Pete, Go to ASND-MarketGuide. I've posted there earnings per quarter going back 3 years. In 1997, ASND purchased CSCC, so the quarterly earnings numbers show a loss. I don't know if you want to adjust. If so, the earnings numbers should be approx. .33, .31, .20 and 4Q. (I'll search for better numbers, but these do add up to 1.06 if 4Q = .22 as per First Call). I did the math, and it seems to come out as a trailing indicator. Going back to 1994, the 4quarter cummulative numbers are as follows: 0.09/share (end of 94) 0.11/share --> 0.14/share --> 0.17/share --> 0.25/share (end of 95) 0.38/share --> 0.56/share --> 0.73/share --> 0.94/share (end of 96) 1.11/share --> 1.19/share --> 1.16/share --> 1.06/share (end of 97) Gary Korn
