Will the uncertainty of TAVA's future after the year 2000 have any bearing on wether they get approved for NMS status? A lot has been said about TAVA's bright future after the year 2000. However the NASD may want too see some confirmation of this before NMS is granted. Any thoughts?

Jan: Hannifen may have lowered estimates based on increasing the "weighted shares outstanding" number. I don't regard EPS as the critical number here since weighted shares is still moving up. The critical numbers for me are "net income", "backlog", and "gross profit margins". If I'm right about Coke being $60 million or more contract, and DK decides to announce a backlog figure that includes Coke, we are are going to have rapidly rising EPS estimates from Red Chip and Hannifen. Suppose that only half the Coke contract is put into backlog (12 months worth). Figure $4 million left over from Dec. 31. Figure $7 mil from BMY, $6 mil. from Chicago reported on Jan. conf. call, figure another $6 mil. "very close" on Jan. conference call. Figure over $50 mil. backlog - and rising.
