Yo Yo The most recent quarter is at biz.yahoo.com The quarterlies usually come out 45 days after the end of the quarter. Since 12/96, the quarterlies have been good news. Unfortunately, the micro caps like triby haven't gotten respect from the market yet

The company files qurterly and 4th qtr. est. is .03/share. Cash is fine as warrant exercision will add funds as will positive cash flow situation. No additional offerings are in the works. Also, Selfcare settlement could significantly add to cash supply. Look for possibility of more acquisitions if the price is right, but with low stock price the conditions are not in favor of this. D Also, if stock performs, more funds will be raised from the B warrants.

Yo Yo, As an ADR, TRIBY is not required to file with EDGAR. I hear, but can't confirm, that they do file paper copies of the appropriate annual and quarterly statements for and ADR. You mentioned GAAP compliance. As an Irish co., they don't calculate earnings according to U.S. GAAP. Footnotes in annual statements reconcile the differences, which are mostly due to not having to depreciate goodwill costs. (This is a fact which is always overlooked by those on this board trying to estimate a P/E ratio.) Cash has been dwindling rapidly for the past year or two, but this is mostly due to acquisitions, etc. Cash flow from operations was neutral to slightly positive, last I saw. Warrant conversions may have helped the cash position in the 4th quarter. The SLF shares are a nice off-balance sheet asset, but they're not particularly liquid. As others have mentioned, the $.06 4th quarter estimate is a bit off. Good luck with your research. If you dig up any hard numbers on cash flows, I'd be interested to see them. -Steve Stuart
