JFD, Zacks: If you add their quarter estimates for 99 you will get $1.47, not $3.49. Obviously something is wrong, not unusual with Zacks'figures. Astra has published they estimate to sell about $100 mil yearly. Even with lower margin, this will generate a substantial revenue for VVUS, as there there are no sales costs for VVUS. The ad campaign will probably also increase the domestic demand so that $3 EPS for 99, three times 97, seems not unreasonable to me. Anyway, a P/E of 10 is ridiculous. Regards ps
