FJA, I spoke with IR today about the news, there has been an up front payment made to NRT but due to a confidentiality agreement with LeRoche they are unable to disclose the amount.

Just flew in from looking at a gold mine -- returned to a platinum find.

86.5 million

ROYALTY on 2.5 million people and 160,000 new cases each year

100 countries

70,000 employees

12 billion U.S. income

You gotta ask yourself 4 questions:

1. How many companies has Hoffmann-La Roche announced this size deal with? scratch head . . . thinking . . . ummmmmmmmm!

2. How many drugs does Nortran have? One? More. Two? More. Three? More. Four? uh, you get the picture.

3. How big is Hoffmann-La Roche anyway, and do they really know what they are doing? Thinking again . . . ahhhhhhhhh!

and 4. What color Rolls Beetle do you like best?

I remain,

SOROS
