Paul and Rob. We have done our due diligence and it does not seem that the situation should be alarming. However, the wording of the original release, their subsequent behavior - tensely answering no questions or not taking calls, and the delay in any clarification, is strongly suggestive of a company with a real problem on its hands. Do you think I am right or am I looking at it through gray colored glasses again?

I also called Greenlaw's office on Monday or Tuesday.He has not
returned my call.I want to ask him about the 1st qtr and the remainder
of 1998.Will 1st qtr revenues still be about $75 million as indicated
in the last conference call? It is fruitless to ask him about the
inventory problem.I am more concerned about the company's future sales
and earnings than the law suits.
Our ace in the hole is that Pino can sell the company quickly if he
so desires(even with the inventory problem).
I have to believe that at this stage the company has some idea about
the magnitude of the inventory problem and how it might affect 1997's
results.However,the company might be in the midst of talks with
law- enforcment officials,claims adjusters,employees(temp & permanent),
and auditors,and that may hinder any immediate announcement.
