>>I was directed to this link re: Growth Flow We referred to Growth Flow and R&D in post 983, Jan 6th re: SWEBF financials for 9 months ending 30 Sep '97-- Message 3108373 This is an important indicator, however, as we pointed out R&D was decreasing as of q3, ref/... >>R&D: ~$2.848M or 16% of sales (Q3 R&D at $671k >>v. Q3 '96 at $1.5M, a 55% decrease (-55%) q3-q3). Growth Flow for SoftQuad (estimated for fy '97): R&D fy 97: $C 3.4M(e); $US 2.4(e) earnings: n/a shs: 13.1M price: $US .63 G-F= (price/((net income+2.4)/13.1M)) =.63/.18=~3.5 Murphy suggests a G-F of 10<x<14 a stock is fairly priced. If <2 he suggests 'mortgaging the ranch'... 3.5 appears to be a good number, however, one must consider R&D trends and profitability. R&D is decreasing (Q3-Q3) and SoftQuad is not profitable.
