I don't know, but a contract that large sounds like it will play out over time.

<<The Williams contract was a HUGE win for ASND. Does anyone know whether the revenue will reflect on the current Q or Q1? I'm not sure whether Q4 is closed yet.>> I don't see how it could possibly be for Q4, as it was just announced today and ASND credits (I believe) when product is shipped. The real question is over how many qtrs is this spread out? I would guess 2, but maybe only 1. Great news anyway you slice it. Market does not appear to have fully picked up on this, yet. Wait till Wednesday afternoon. This is $150M ADDITIONAL to the 1998 top line. For those who were worried about ASND only growing 10% this year (stated comfort level), here it is all in one unforseen lump! And on only the 2nd business day too!
