George, No deep throat here. But I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how this transpired: DIGENE CORPORATION CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (In thousands) December 31, June 30, 1997 1997 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $28,171 $8,453 Short-term investments 6,347 11,061 Total current assets 41,258 26,549 Total assets 45,425 30,207 Weighted average shares outstanding 13,412,271 12,498,771 ______________________________________________________________________ How did they increase their total assets by 50% while losing money and without a substantial increase in shares???? Look at the change in cash and cah equivalents for a six-month period! They must have made a heck of a bet on a football game or maybe invested their cash in the financial markets and caught a high flying stock, index, or futures contract or something. Frank

Hello George, No deep throat here either, just a bad back from shoveling snow this morning! BTW, did I see you on the news throwing a cream pie in Bill Gates face last night!<g> On a more serious note, I've been watching it snow instead of watching the computer. Sometimes you just need a break! Cisco
